Latest rumour mill from Detroit.
Chrysler is testing its Durango SUV with its mighty 300-horsepower V10 engine,
the same one offered as an option in the Ram pickup. The vehicle is being
given
the full run of testing checks, the usual procedure before a vehicle is moved
to prototype stage. Final decisions are still to be made, but if a V10 Durango
is approved, it will be far and away the most powerful midsize SUV on the
market.
The maker is also considering putting a Chrysler nameplate and front
end–grille,
fenders–on the Durango and marketing it against Yukon Denali and Lincoln
Navigator.
If true, maybe a V10 Dakota .....
