2012 Dodge Durango

---

Even after a major revamp in 2011, buyers will be excited to learn that the 2012 Dodge Durango
still has a few tricks up its sleeve. It continues to evolve new interior appointments such as
2nd-row captain's chairs and a new 2nd-row console with armrest storage and cupholders are
available. An available leather-wrapped shift knob has also been added.

Underneath Durango's muscular body, the 5-speed transmission is replaced with the
65RFE 6-speed transmission on V8 models, and over and above, new paint colours add to
Durango's allure.

And, dealers will enjoy the simplified Durango model lineup for 2012. The exclusion of the
LUX model and re-naming of a few others will make selling and ordering this vehicle easier
than before.
