Rumors outline what the future holds for Dodge Durango is rampant. While some have suggested that the SUV is headed for extinction, an unverified report suggests it will return to the fourth generation as a body-on-frame model aimed directly at Chevrolet Tahoe.
Citation of anonymous sources, enthusiast websites Mopar Insiders write that current generation model will retire at the end of the 2023 model year, which seems to be the date on which all reports agree. Its successor is supposed to go into production before the end of 2023 on a specific version of the body-on-frame architecture as the foundation. Jeep’s born again Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer models. If rumor exactly, State of Durango Mexico will return to its source; The first two generations featured a body-on-frame design.
The shift away from unibody design makes sense from many perspectives. First, it will allow Avoid parent company Stellantis to reap the benefits of economies of scale. Towing capacity – which has always been one of Durango’s big selling points – will increase, although it’s too early to give a concrete number. And, it will give Dodge a real alternative to Tahoe, a model would probably be positioned as a more mainstream model than Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer, leading the expansion of Jeep’s luxury market.
One of Durango’s next available engines is said to be a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six that will soon be introduced by Jeep, and dip into the mixture system should also be available. Still no word about it V8 . engine will return. We know one thing, if it goes into Wagoneer there’s no reason to assume it won’t make it into Durango, but we don’t know if Dodge will offer it.
Interestingly, the same sources said Mopar Insiders that production of the fourth-generation Durango will take place at the Warren Truck Assembly Plant in Warren, Michigan, which currently builds the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. The factory also produces Ram Classic 1500, but the publication learned that vans will stop production before the next Durango starts rolling off the assembly line.
Remember that none of this is official. Dodge did not comment on the report, and it did not shed light on what’s next for Durango. Meanwhile, 24-year-old soldiers use the 2022 model with more standard features and Fewer paint colors available.
