Engine And Transmission
Horsepower. Once you get some, you always want more. That's why the all-new 2004 Dodge Durango features the 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine with a best-in-class 335 horsepower and 370 lb.-ft.* of torque. That's up 90 hp from last year. Other engines and features: 3.7L V6 provides 210HP and 235 lb.-ft. of torque 4.7L V8 provides 230HP and 290 lb.-ft. of torque These new engines deliver a 7-percent improvement in fuel efficiency Choice of four- or five-speed transmissions
Big Size
	Apparently, the all-new Durango didn't get wind of any of those new fad diets. It's grown seven inches longer, three inches taller and three inches wider than the previous Durango while maintaining the drivability and maneuverability of a smaller SUV. It must like all the carbs.
Smooth Ride
	To get a really smooth ride out of most vehicles you need to pay extra to get the better suspension system. Not with this all-new Durango. It has a new, longer wheelbase and wider track, new rear suspension, new rack-and-pinion steering, torsion bar independent front suspension and an all-new hydroformed frame for added stiffness.
Towing And Hauling
	You can pack plenty inside Durango with 102.4 cu.-ft. of cargo volume and 1,780 lbs. of payload. Plus, if you equip it with the HEMI engine you'll get the best-in-class 8,950 lbs.* of towing capability that comes with it. Or opt for the other two powerful engines: 3.7L V6 - Max towing capacity of 3,700 lbs 4.7L V8 - Max towing capacity of 7,400 lbs* *When properly equipped. Based on Automotive News classification.
All Wheel Drive
	Two new available AWD electronic shift transfer cases - Single-Speed and Two-Speed - are engaged at all times and electronically controlled via a switch on the instrument panel. Both transfer cases provide traditional part-time 4-wheel drive operating mode for maximum traction on slippery surfaces. Best of all, standard full-time AWD "set-it-and-forget-it" is always there when you need it.
