The Changes of Construction for 2023 Dodge Durango

What is going to happen with 2023 Dodge Durango? Well, for a starter, there is going to be some changes and possible light cosmetic update on the way. But from the overall appearance of Durango, you can expect solid and tough premium SUV performance that won’t disappoint you on the road.

What Rumors Say?

Rumor has it that the next Durango may be coming to their original body on frame structure, ditching the unibody construction along the way. In the third generation launch (dated back in 2010), Durango was designed on the unibody construction – while the original and the (first) two generations of the line was using the body on frame for true SUV experience. Well, it seems that Dodge is now thinking about getting back to its original body on frame design again.

In the 2023 model, which may be coming as the fourth generation, the Durango will be produced in FCA Warren Truck manufacturing plant. The construction and production of Durango may go hand in hand with future Jeep Wagoneer. There is clear confirmation when the Durango will officially debut. But if you take in the cue from FCA merger with PSA French group, there are signs about both vehicles being designed

Possible Hybrid Technology

It is possible that there is going to be a hybrid lightweight version offered. If it happens, the hybrid vehicle will be using 48V of alternator starter technology – the same one used in new lightweight Ram 1500 Nm of torque hybrid. The big V8 engine will produce 707 hp of power with 645 Nm of torque. This is the same power that is constructed for Grand Cherokee Trackhawk.
