The Dodge Durango is a mid-size SUV with 3 rows of seating. The first two generations (1998-2009) were based up the same platform as the Dodge Dakota and Ram pickup trucks, the third generation was redesigned based on the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Durango is a great compromise between space and versatility, making it ideal for people that occasionally need a third row of seating or find themselves packing their vehicle to the roof, and also want the security of a four-wheel drive SUV.
