Get a grip.

Electronic Stability Program (ESP)[1] is designed to assist drivers in maintaining control of their vehicles during extreme steering maneuvers. ESP[1] senses when a vehicle is starting to spin (oversteer) or plow (understeer), and attempts to correct the vehicle's course by automatically controlling the throttle and applying the brakes at individual wheels. The control you'll feel is astonishing.

An important aspect of ESP[1], Durango's traction control system, is tuned for on-road activity during normal operation. When wheel spin occurs, the system maintains traction by applying the brakes and, in some cases, closing the throttle to minimize spin during acceleration.

All-wheel drive anticipates the need for added traction and responds to wheel slippage by transferring power to the rear wheels. This gives greater driving performance, and increased safety and security. The system operates only on demand, thereby reducing unnecessary fuel consumption.

    In addition to a long wheelbase, wide track and hydroformed box-section frame for added stiffness, Durango's suspension system offers exceptional ride and handling regardless of road surface, load weight or towing. Along with the benefits of rack-and-pinion steering and a torsion bar independent front suspension, a coil-sprung solid-axle rear suspension with a Watt's linkage controls lateral motion.

  • Full-time two-speed transfer case

    Simply set the dash-mounted dial on Durango 4x4 models to 4WD for everyday driving. Switch it to 4WD LOCK only on slippery or uneven roads. Use 4WD LOW only in low-speed, low-traction situations, like bringing your boat out of the water.
