Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) just unleashed another hot ride from Dodge. The
2018 Dodge Durango Pursuit joins the Hemi V8-powered
Charger Pursuit already favored by law enforcement departments as the fastest police car in the country.
Early feedback from police made the decision easy.
“Unofficial testing results at the Michigan State Police 2018 model-year vehicle evaluation event created such a stir among law enforcement agencies that we simply had to find a way to build this vehicle,” said Steve Beahm, FCA North America head of passenger car brands. “The Dodge Durango is already known as the Charger of SUVs, so it is only natural that the new Durango Pursuit complements the Charger Pursuit in police fleets across the country.”
The Durano Pursuit comes ready for chases both on and off-road. The SUV is powered by the same 360 horsepower 5.7L Hemi V8 with 390 pound-feet of torque as the Charger Pursuit.
The new Durango Pursuit adds a full-time, active all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. A two-speed transfer case with true low-range off-road capability means the Durango won’t need to stop when the pavement ends. And a standard 8.1 inches of ground clearance mean hot pursuit won’t be impeded by small to moderate-sized obstacles and junk on the road
