1998-2003
The Durango was launched as a mid-size SUV, just after the second generation Dodge Dakota on which it was based (during the late 1980s, Chrysler designers proposed building an SUV version of the Dakota pickup; this was shelved when the Jeep division was about to release the Jeep Grand Cherokee as their flagship SUV.) It was marketed as a very sturdy truck-based SUV designed to hold up to seven passengers and tow up to 6,700 lb. However, these generation Durango's suffered from transmission and other drive component problems. This was thought to be in part to the vehicle's heavier weight than the base vehicle (Dakota) and the driving habits of its demographic being mainly car and mini-van drivers. The 4.7 L PowerTech V8 replaced the 5.2 L engine for 2000. In that same year a special all wheel drive performance version called the R/T was released with a 5.9 L V8 engine. A mid-size car, frequently referred to as an intermediate, is an automobile with a size between that of a compact and a full-size or standard-size car. ...

2004-2006 The second generation Durango debuted shortly before the companion Dakota. Like the Dakota, it has much in common with the large Dodge Ram pickup, including a fully-boxed frame. And like the first generation model, its front grille resembles the Dakota's. It is 7 in. longer, 2 in. wider, and 3 in. taller than the previous model. For this model year, it offered a full third row with three seats, making the Durango 8 Passenger SUV. Chrysler introduced its own version of the Durango, the Chrysler Aspen, for the 2007 model year. The Durango became nearly a full-size SUV this time — although technically it is still classified as mid-size, and the upcoming Dodge crossover SUV on the Avenger platform will fill Dodge's mid-size SUV gap.

They made the first claim in 2000, for a slated release date of 2003, but it was never produced. It was believed to have fallen into Development hell. Development hell is media-industry jargon for a film, television screenplay, or computer game[1] (or sometimes just a concept or idea) getting stuck in development and never going into production. ...
