Not that we weren't expecting Dodge to update the Durango SUV after Jeep displayed the facelifted Grand Cherokee at the Detroit Auto Show this year, but Mopar-enthusiast site Allpar says it has the inside scoop.
Citing inside sources, the site said it has been told that the 2014 model year Dodge Durango will enter production in May this year, with first deliveries expected to start in late June. What this means is that we will likely see the facelifted Durango making its world premiere at the New York Auto Show at the end of March.
According to the report, the 2014 Durango will benefit from the same upgrades as its sister model from Jeep, including redesigned front and rear ends (possibly with Dodge's “racetrack” style LED tail lamps), a refreshed interior with new controls and a digital instrument panel, along with the use of Chrysler's new 8-speed automatic transmission across the range.
Whether Dodge will offer the VM Motori-sourced V6 diesel on the Durango as well, remains to be seen.

At last, a new upgrade that nobody can say Dodge stole anything from any one of it's competitors.
I am intrigued with the moniker " Shooting Brake", this could be called "Shooting Brick".
I'm a little confused. I decided to wait for the 2014 because of the 8 speed and originally it was going to be an early release of May and then they pushed it back to a "normal release " of August and now the article above(dated 2/18/13) which references allpar.com says it's May but when you click on the link to the Allpar site it says August?
Evidently, they received new information and changed the date after we posted this article - in the first sentence, Allpar writes: "will start production in May August 2013" (see that they crossed May and added August?)
Thanks. Just frustrated as I really was hoping to get one this season to tow my cargo trailer but I think it's worth the wait for the new tranny and maybe a less minivan type tail end.
