2008 Dodge Durango SLT 4WD Automatic

Model Highlights

The 2008 Dodge Durango is available in several trim packages, including the more basic SXT, the mid-level SLT and Adventurer, and the loaded Limited. All models are available in either two- or four-wheel drive, and in automatics of either four or five speeds. A proven 210-horsepower 3.7L Magnum V6 is standard in the SXT 4x2 and SLT 4x2, while the SXT 4x4, SLT 4x4, Adventurer, and Limited come standard with the new 303-horsepower flex-fuel 4.7L V8, which puts out 330 lb-ft of torque. The 330-horsepower 5.7L Hemi V8 is optional on each of those. As the Durango is primarily a hauler, buyers can get it equipped to carry and pull all sorts of things, with an impressive payload of 1,510 pounds to 1,750 pounds and a towing capacity of 8,950 pounds, with an available five-speed auto with overdrive to match. Base SXTs include air conditioning, cloth bucket seats, power windows, heated fold-away mirrors, 40/20/40 folding rear seat, cargo tie-down loops, and covered storage. Available comfort and convenience options include tri-zone climate control, rear-seat DVD entertainment, hands-free communication, MyGIG multi-media infotainment, and leather seating, while exterior options run the gamut from 18- and 20-inch aluminum wheels to body-color running boards. All Durangos feature standard anti-lock brakes and advanced multi-stage front air bags as well as full supplemental side curtain air bags.
