The Dodge Durango is a family of sporty utility vehicles introduced for the 1998 model year. The Durango was initially based on the Dodge Dakota, but from 2004 onwards, the model used the same platform as the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Three generations of Durango have been built: 1st Gen (1998-2003), 2nd Gen (2004-2010), and 3rd Gen (2011-2022). Over the course of production, the Durango has been available in two or four wheel drive, and has been powered by a variety of V6 and V8 engines. One of the most notable Durango variants was the short lived Shelby SP360, and the more modern SRT Hellcat.
