Dodge’s SUV 1-2 Punch: Journey and Durango

Dodge is one of the companies that made Detroit famous around the world for creating top quality cars, SUVs and trucks. The most famous car that Dodge produced is its high-end, sports car Viper SRT, which even became a Hollywood star in a TV series called Viper.

But building 600 horsepower vehicles for thrill-seeking customers is not just Dodge legacy, in fact, their SUVs (sport utility vehicle) are something to look into as well.

Dodge Journey

For only $19,195 you will experience raw power, comfort and quality all in one vehicle combined! Let’s start on a walk-through with the Dodge Journey and the first thing you’ll notice is the signature split-crosshair honeycomb grille on the front, then you’ll be dazzled by headlights, fog lights and tail lights. The porcelain skin with a bright red paint that runs throughout its entire exterior is to die for and its 17-19 inch rims and tires compliments the overall design. It has been built for the spur of the moment.

In case you haven’t had enough yet, then the exterior will make you feel like royalty, because there’s 67.6 cubic feet of space behind the front seat which will let you carry all the “fun,” behind you. It also sports a cutting-edge dashboard design that you will feel like commandeering a spaceship!

The digital/analog combo just makes everything right, push button commands for most functions (i.e. power windows, horns, lights, air-conditioning etc.) and the leather seats are carefully crafted for your comfort. The Dodge Journey truly is a masterpiece to own.

Dodge Durango

Our next contender is the Dodge Durango which sports a new fully electronic, class-exclusive eight-speed automatic transmission which provides better fuel economy, faster acceleration and ease of shifting. The noticeable feature in the Durango is its rotary shifter which is basically a control knob that lets you park, reverse, set the car on neutral or put it in drive mode – the rest of the work is done on the control pad on the steering wheel. It also has an 8-inch glass LCD display that lets you listen to the radio, music, watch movies or navigate using the built-in GPS in it.

The Durango has the award winning 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine which puts out an impressive 295 horsepower. Its power engine allows you to you to tow up to 6,200 lbs of weight on long distances. The Dodge Durango is perfect for travelling and bringing a lot of stuff with you.

Your Pick?

So which one will you pick, the Dodge Journey or Durango? To be honest there really is no choosing between these two and whether you’ll buy the Durango or opt to own the Journey, you’re a winner all the way. Both models sport unique features that will make the trip more than just worthwhile, you’ll get more millage on the gallon and you have a wide range of entertainment to choose from.

Owning any one of these machines will ease your day-to-day life and maintain your status quo in society.
