The 2000 Dodge Durango is part of the first generation of this rugged and spacious SUV, powered by a gutsy range of V8 engines, including a standard 4.7-liter V8 delivering 235 horsepower, and a more powerful 5.9-liter V8, generating 245 horsepower. Both engines are mated to a four-speed automatic transmission with rear-wheel drive standard and an available four-wheel-drive option. Seating for up to eight individuals, coupled with impressive towing capacity, makes it a sensible choice for larger families and recreational towing. Safety features, however, are a potential concern for this model year, with ABS only being available as an option and no stability control. On the tech front, expect standard AM/FM radio with optional CD and cassette players, but no advanced infotainment features like touch screens or navigation that we are accustomed to in today's vehicles.
