For 2006, Dodge enhances its midsize sport utility vehicle, the Durango, with electronic stability control as well as an anticipated 20 percent improvement in fuel economy via a Hemi V-8 featuring multi-displacement system technology. This new fuel-management technology allows the engine to operate on four cylinders during steady-state cruising, such as when maintaining a set pace on the freeway. Also new is a power rear liftgate, a three-passenger third row, remote starting, and “Tip Start,” which allows the driver to quickly turn the ignition key to the “start” position and release it, rather than holding the key in the start position until ignition.
