Dodge
Dodge is a U. S brand car manufacturer and is known for its high end automobiles, minivans and sport vehicles.
The company is owned by Chrsyler Group LLC and has operations in more than 60 countries all over the world. The Dodge Company was founded by the Dodge brothers, Horace and John, in the year 1900. Then by the year 1914 they were operating full scale and producing a whole lot of Dodge vehicles. In the year 1928, the brand was sold to Chrysler. The first unit was set up in Detroit when the Dodge brothers decided to get out of the shadows of the Ford brothers.
The Dodge brothers suddenly died one after another and the running of the company fell in the hands of their widows. They promoted a long time loyal employee Fredrick Haynes to run the company and that is when the Model 30 was manufactured.
The Dodge models were doing well until the year 1973 when the oil crisis came about and these cars were seen as gas guzzling monsters. This was the time when the sales for Dodge really dipped. While the other competitors of Dodge like Ford and General Motors quickly downsized their cars to meet the fuel crisis, Dodge wasn't able to do so because of the financial crisis that it was in.
The latest of the cars that have been added to the impressive suite are the new range of Dodge models. There is the new and gaining in popularity Dodge Ram 1500. The Dodge Durango 2009 is a car with tough exterior, wonderful interiors to it and rides really smoothly. You will love the way it not only looks big but also is extremely spacious. Although it is this bulky sized car it works in the most quiet and efficient way purring like a cat with the latest technology that is fitted to it. Passengers are bound to find the ride really comfortable in the Durango from Dodge.
The first range of Durango was introduced in the year 2004. It is somewhat like the Tahoe, Chevy and the Ford Expedition all rolled into one. It is much more larger than most SUVs and can easily carry in it seven passengers with the utmost ease. There is a whole lot of space in the Dodge for luggage.
The engine that you will find fitted in most Dodge cars is either a high end V6 or a V8. There are several different seating options that the buyer is offered to choose from in the Dodge right from a five-seater to a even an eight-seater.
The latest is that the new Dodge will use the Hybrid model and the Hemi V8 in it. This offers a car that has more fuel efficiency linked to it and also is able to boast of a far higher effectiveness and efficiency on city roads. The other models from Dodge are Avenger, Challenger, Caliber, Charger, Dakota, Grand Caravan, Journey, Vitro, Ram 1500, Ram 2500, Ram 3500 and the famous Dodge Viper.
