Dodge Durango HEMI R/T Concept -
Bigger, bolder and faster, the
2003 Dodge Durango HEMI® RT Concept separates itself from
the sport utility pack with big power and a broad shouldered
presence that could only come from Dodge. With more style,
more cargo room and more capability, the Dodge Durango
Concept delivers on all fronts, including the type of muscle
that only a Dodge can deliver: HEMI power. |

The Dodge Durango Concept is
a new generation of sport-utility vehicle that could only
wear the Dodge name. With its bold cross-hair grille,
innovative interior and a big HEMI rumbling under its hood,
the Durango Concept exemplifies the in-your-face styling and
sheer capability that is Dodge. The Dodge Durango Concept
design provides a strong hint of the next generation Durango
that will appear in late 2003 as a 2004 model. The Durango
Concept is approximately 85-percent of the production level
exterior design.
The Dodge Durango Concept features a bold and powerful
presence that is three inches longer, more than three inches
taller and four and a half inches wider than the current
generation Durango. The enlarged exterior results in a
roomier all-new interior that provides increased head,
shoulder and hip room and available seating for seven.
Interior capacity is increased by 15 percent and is enhanced
by Durango's fold-flat cargo floor. As shown in the concept,
Durango now has the capability to carry 48-inch wide sheets
of plywood between the wheel wells.
With 345 horsepower and 375
lb.-ft. of torque, the 5.7-liter HEMI Magnum-powered Dodge
Durango Concept delivers blistering acceleration while
improving fuel efficiency by more than 10 percent, when
compared to the current generation Durango. A new heavy-duty
five-speed automatic transmission is behind the 5.7-liter
HEMI Magnum. The full-time four-wheel drive Dodge Durango
Concept also features a standard electronic transfer case
with low range.
The Durango Concept features an all-new independent front
suspension with a rack-and-pinion steering system for an
even more precise feel. An all-new rear suspension with coil
springs and a solid rear axle delivers a smooth ride, yet
maintains durability, payload and towing capability. A Watt
link system is fitted to the rear axle, centering the axle
and reducing rear-end skate over rough surfaces.
Safety features include available side curtain air bags for
all three rows of seating, a tire-pressure monitoring
system, adjustable pedals and standard four-wheel disc ABS
brakes. A center mounted, three-point shoulder belt is
incorporated into the second row seating area. Driver
enhancements include a navigational system, and a hands-free
cellular phone system utilizing Bluetooth technology. |
