📖Dodge Durango II Facelift 2006-2008: refined exterior styling with essential HEMI watchpoints

Dodge Durango II (HB Facelift) (2006-2008)

Introduced for the 2007 model year, the facelifted Durango HB refined its front-end styling with cleaner headlights, a restyled grille and upgraded electronic stability systems. Positioned as a rugged American alternative to large seven-seater family vehicles like the Hyundai Santa Fe, it caters directly to drivers needing heavy towing ratings alongside spacious family accommodation. Diligent Dodge Durango maintenance is vital to preserve the longevity of its large-displacement powertrains and driveline.

The powertrain line-up continued with the 3.7 V6, updated 4.7 V8 and the flagship 5.7 HEMI V8 equipped with MDS cylinder deactivation. The MDS technology cuts four cylinders during light cruising to trim fuel consumption, yet it requires strict adherence to correct oil viscosity (5W-20) to ensure the hydraulic lifters function seamlessly. Broken exhaust manifold studs and cooling system neglect remain regular hazards that prospective purchasers must actively diagnose.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability

Refined exterior styling and upgraded dashboard plastics deliver a more modern, premium family cabin.
MDS cylinder deactivation on the 5.7 HEMI improves motorway cruising fuel economy without sacrificing full-throttle muscle.
Impressive towing rating remains among the highest in its class for towing large horseboxes and caravans.
Standard electronic stability program and curtain airbags provide superior active and passive family safety.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on

5.7 HEMI MDS hydraulic lifters: running incorrect oil viscosity or stretching service intervals causes lifter sticking and cam lobe wear - ensure MS-6395 5W-20 oil has been strictly used.
Exhaust manifold warping and broken studs: listen for cold-start exhaust ticking near the cylinder heads before thermal expansion temporarily seals the gap.
20-inch wheel suspension wear: heavy unsprung wheel weight accelerates wear on front lower wishbone ball joints and anti-roll bar drop links - listen for knocking over road joints.
All-wheel-drive transfer case and tyres: uneven tyre circumference rapidly destroys the centre differential and causes drivetrain shudder during tight turns - inspect all four tyres.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss

Engine oil and filter change strictly every 10,000 km or 12 months using genuine MS-6395 approved 5W-20 oil to protect MDS lifters.
Automatic transmission fluid (ATF+4) and dual filters replacement every 50,000 km or 3 years.
Spark plug replacement (16 plugs on the 5.7 HEMI) every 50,000 km to maintain smooth cylinder deactivation.
Front and rear axle differential oil plus transfer case fluid renewal every 40,000 km.
