Car Board.(Dodge DURANGO 4x4 R/T )(Brief Article)
With race season about over, what's a speed junkie to do? Drive fast cars (and trucks), that's what.
* Dodge DURANGO 4x4 R/T
Price: $37,855
Engine: 5.9-liter V8, 245 hp, 335 lb-ft
Curb weight: 4737 lbs
Drivetrain: 4wd, four-speed automatic
As Americans, we love trucks, but often find it difficult to compromise our equal love for speed and agility. That's where vehicles such as Dodge's Durango R/T step in. While there's no mistaking this beast for a Viper, it definitely knows how to give its driver a seat-of-the-pants ride, thanks in large part to a monster 335-lb-ft torque peak, especially since that peak hits at only 3200 rpm. Then there's the matter of a standard 3.92 rear axle ratio; limited-slip rear differential; tuned exhaust; more aggressive shock tuning and larger rear antiroll bar; body-color running boards, wheel flares and side moldings; and P275/60Rs on 17-inch alloy wheels-all making the R/T not only look sportier, but perform better than lower-trim Durangos.
