For all the times that we daydream about a life of fighting crime, the life of a cop is by no means easy. Don't get us wrong, we couldn't have more respect for the men and women of the law. Nevertheless, we here at Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Grants Pass will gladly take a leisurely day with our new and used cars over having to wear a flak jacket to work.
Needless to say, it takes a special kind of person to wear the badge, and thanks to the brass at Dodge, they're about to get a much-needed helping hand.
Just recently, the 2014 Dodge Durango Special Service was created in an effort to provide our nation's police officers with everything they could possibly need. In terms of powertrain, drivers can expect 290 horsepower, 260 lb.-ft. of torque and a towing capacity of 7,400 lbs. thanks to its 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 base engine. Not only that, but it's reported to boast a driving range of over 600 miles and fuel economy of up to 25 mpg.
Since this is a cop car we're talking about, it also comes outfitted with a host of features designed with Johnny Law in mind. You've got a heavy-duty brake package, a heavy-duty water pump, an engine oil cooler, a load leveling suspension, a heavy-duty battery and even a larger-output 220-amp alternator. And with production set to begin sometime this quarter, bad guys better beware.
Unfortunately, the chances of this SUV making its way to our dealership for civilian use are slim to none. Nevertheless, you've still got the next best thing with a test drive in the 2014 Dodge Durango at our dealership here in Grants Pass, OR. Because who hasn't daydreamed about being cop?
