Powertrain Options and Availability
Durangos initially came with a choice of two V8 engines: 5.2-liter and 230 horsepower, or 5.9-liter with 245 horsepower. A 4-speed automatic was the only transmission offered. For 1999, a 3.9-liter V6 engine became available, developing a more modest 175 horsepower, but it lasted only one season. For 2000, a new 4.7-liter overhead-cam V8 became standard in 4WD models, the 5.2-liter V8 continued in 2WD Durangos, and the 5.9 V8 was optional with the SLT option group. In 2001, the 230-horsepower 5.2-liter V8 was no longer available.
