Dodge Durango Parts

Standard production of the Dodge Durango started in 1998 while using the Dodge Dakota platform during the first-generation run. The Durango switched to becoming unibody in its second generation production run. As a standard feature the first-generation Dodge Durango included a 3.9L V6 engine although customers could select from alternative 5.2L and 5.9L V8 engine options. Regular production models of the Dodge Durango did not have the feature of supercharged V8 infrastructure but it existed in specialized performance variants such as the Durango R/T. A V6 Pentastar engine replaced the older version in 2011 after installing a 5-speed automatic transmission sourced from Mercedes-Benz. The W5A580 modernized driving performance of the Durango model. When the 2014 Dodge Durango received the ZF 8-speed automatic transmission (8HP70) it upgraded both engine performance and mileage efficiency for V6 and V8 engine variants. The 2016 Durango received enhancements to its Pentastar V6 engine along with fuel efficiency improvements as the 2018 model introduced technology updates that maintained the ZF 8-speed automatic transmission. The Dodge Durango lineup received its substantial technological innovations with 2016 and 2018 releases through the addition of larger touchscreen displays that grew up to 8.4 inches and its contemporary audio along with connectivity components. In 2021 the Durango SRT Hellcat disappeared from production due to limitations from future emissions regulations and market factors which rendered the 710 hp HEMI V8 obsolete.
