Never new this was made💯💪, thanks for making this Video 💯💪 👍 Peace brother

At least he purchased this “classic” to drive, not just be a garage ornament.

I remember the shelby Durango, along with the Dakota R/T 5.9. And most people think Chrysler doing wild fast cars is a new thing

Great find! I thought these were only a myth. Nice to see that Joe found this unicorn. It’d be cool if the owner made it to Shelby USA in Las Vegas too.

I am glad that someone actually brought these trucks to light!! Thank you for finally doing a piece on the SP360. I have #45 as my daily driver. MPG is nowhere near 20 though!

I have wanted one of these for so long, congrats on your find, enjoy it and take care of it please, you are rolling in American history.

I am a mopar guy I didn’t know they made them. Nice! it’s going to be worth allot of 🤑 one day.

Yesss! Finally something about the first Gen Durango I have an rt and it’s awesome!

Nice! Good to see he is driving it instead of letting it sit in the garage. Didn't know these existed. That generation of Durango had a reliable powertrain, I still see several on the road today.

That's the first time I seen this sweet Dodge - Cool!

The seats look fantastic 🤤

I first saw that Durango when I was 12 years old and liked it ever since

I remember seeing an article on these in Mopar Performance magazine back in high school, and I never heard about these again (till today). The first year were all 4WD; I remember Shelby saying that they had to do some wizardry to get it lowered.

Durangos are so underrated.. I love them best suv ever.

Went to buy a Tesla and got this instead for under $16K. Love it!

My boss has one of these with less mileage I believe and it's in perfect shape.👌 It has no trouble doing 4 wheel drive burnouts.

LOVE IT!!! Remember these back in the day

Beautiful Durango. The 360 engine that he has in there will go a lot of miles and should not cause any problems.

This is supposed to be about the truck. Why do people have to be so petty and cut the guy down? Grow up! I think he did great! The truck is something that almost no one else has, he is driving it, like I think ya should, and knew what he wanted and he got what he wanted. By the way buddy, I’m jealous! That would look great in MY collection,,,,,,,,, hahaha. Thank you TFL for bringing him in and showing this great, little known truck!

Have not seen one of these in years! Thanks for the video!!

Not gonna lie, that sounds better than a hellcat to me. It's got just enough supercharger whine and that exhaust note is pure music. I'm a Ford guy through and through but I do appreciate a cool rig and a sweet exhaust note.

I remember seeing these in the dupont registry as a kid. I like that there is still not much known about these today!

Today learned something new. Thanks!

Loved my first gen Durango, this and am RT first gen were my dream trucks when I was younger, I think my 99 with the 5.2 and 3.55 was rated around 6500 towing, so a similarly equipped 5.9 truck was probably around 750-1000 more

Cool video, I've never been up close to one or seen a video of it but have always want to see a review of it. Thanks

Try and find a ford explorer saleen xp8. 5.0 v8 supercharged.

Very cool. I’ve only seen one in person. Keep it clean brother.

Guy looks like a cop

MOPAR! A really nice, unique Durango!👍👍

Nice truck...sounds pretty good...Thanks.

Awesome truck thank you

They had these on Test Drive Off Road 3 and Test Drive Off Road Wide Open

I hate it when people tell the MPG by saying how many miles to the tank. That tells us nothing!

Same car passed me yesterday on Jones Maltsburgar in San Antonio yesterday. Had a rumble as it went by.

It's 2024 today, I recently watched a Doug Demuro video on a Shelby 2nd gen Ford Explorer built in '98. I didn't know about this video until today, though I've known about this Durango for 20 years. This thing kicks that Explorer in the balls! Like 100 more HP than the Ford. I almost forgot about this thing until scrolling through KZfaq today and finding this review, thank you for this video.

I used to see one of these everyday when I worked at a gas station. I knew what it was because I saw in a magazine when it came out (probably the same one he shown in the video).

Very cool ride and proud owner!

The Problems LMAO BACKUP CAMERA AND REMOTE START!!!! LMAO!!!! Those Both Can Be Added Easily.

Work of art

The 5.9 was designed for low-end torque not high hp like the new modern V8's of today. It was rated at 335 lbs at 3300 rpm. So if it was supercharged it's probably tipping 400 or more. It's in great condition considering it's from 1999. Thanks for bringing a blast from the past TFL

Gotta love that super charger whine....

When he started it up, it sounded really good.

Of all the things you want to add on a back up camera ...... vehicles have mirrors for a reason.. very cool ride tho

Sounds insane!

Nice rig, bud!

This is definitely y I like old school whips there’s always a super rare model nobody has ever seen

Yes I remember seeing this car and driver I believe in my early twenties and I was looking for myself very nice

The backseat buckets are so fricken cool lol

motor can withstand quite a bit of power 360 on a suv for 99 was INSANE…my x3m lci stg2 is around 700+ crank which gets the same “wow thats alot”. now then that got in 99

Can ya check what make and model the hitch is? Looks like a Perfect fit.

Forgot all about these. Used to be a handful of them rolling around in Toledo when I was younger. These 5.9 magnums always sounded mean af.

I live in Lincoln Nebraska. I seen this car before never thought this was real.

You can get an aftermarket remote start, and a aftermarket backup camera

I remember when this first came out. In the original trim that this came with if I am not mistaken it would not have been able to get the same amount of tow ratings that slt trim would have been able to due to the changes that Shelby made to the suspension. My brother in law bought the performance Dakota and the ratings were significantly less than the other trims that they started off of. It was all due to the fact that the changes were done to the tuning and performance of the engines that they could not account for the extra cooling needed to sustain the additional strain put on the remaining parts and still be able to ensure that everything would be able to last for the factory warranty period. So with that in mind they lowered all of the towing numbers of all performance vehicles that were made until the release of the new Jeep was made and the new SRT Durango.

A rarity in itself. I always loved the Durango Shelby. And truth be told, Shelby should hook up with FCA again, and make their version of the current Charger, before it's redesign.

I would never have wanted that vehicle! Buy its definitely very cool AND extremely unique! I really enjoyed checking it out. I think some lower profile tires would look really cool.

Wicked sounding

Love this!

that's a cool truck!

The hellcat of its time

Mopar or no car! Love the color!

I've had three of the 4x4's from 2000 (sequentially) and have always thought they should be worth a LOT more than they bring these days. BTW, it's not Viper Blue, but Dodge Intense Blue. I had a 97 Viper GTS, and when parked side by side, the colors were slightly different.

this is bad ass! 🔥🔥

i had a friend growing up who convinced his dad he needed one i had a 5.9 swap in my cherokee this shelby was way under rated at 360hp it was more like 400rwp and 450 lb torque at the wheels very cool suv

So sweet I have a 99 5.9 in "intense pearl blue " looks just like that "viper blue" (same thing ??) Mines lifted, same exact headlights shown here Just got some new shoes ..kenda klever mt2s I love my durango But this shelby is my dream 1st gen

That’s a cool vehicle. It’s funny now that a stock 5.7 HEMI has more power than that supercharged 5.9.

Just awesome

There was a guy in danbury, CT that used to daily one

I HAVE ONE OF THESE BOUGHT IT OFF THE SHOW ROOM FLOOR IN 1999 IT NUMBER 28 AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE

Never knew existed

It's nice to drive something that you don't see everyday. It look good , sound nice too. Enjoy!

Love it have a 00 awd durango 5.9

The 5.9 was rated at 7500 pounds towing capacity. I have an 02 durango 4.7 rated at about 6800lbs

I worked on one of these a few years back, but i think it had a procharger and was only 2 wheel drive!

Awesome to see some the 2nd gen Durango Dakotas get some respect . As an current orginal owner of factory ordered 2001 Dakota quad cab sport with 137700 miles it was a great a great watch. I still love my truck and think this generation has some of the nicest body work of the 2000s . Dodge pushed the envelope by offering v8s in these midsize trucks when nobody was doing it and they where the top of there class in the day for performance towing and cargo and interior capacities. I still get compliments on mine and nobody can believe it's has a V8! It's always interesting at a stop light! . Further more the 360 in this clip was the 5.9 also offered in Dakota but the 4.7 was a better fit for the truck in my opinion . Better design more efficient and smoother and was with in 5 or 10 hp of the larger motor . Too bad they stopped production of the 4.7 in latter yrs there was even a ho version putting out 300 hp.. .

Cool video. Which do you think is the fastest the shelby sp durango srt 8 durango or gc srt8 or the gc 5.9 limited

My 1998 slt equip with a 5.9 is rated to tow 7500 lbs so I’d imagine somewhere around there. I’ve also had about 1000 lbs of payload in the back end too. Just food for thought.

Thanks to Joe and Nathan. If that were mine I am not sure I would let anyone else drive it.

I would love to see this truck, where in Nebraska?

Family friend who worked for Chrysler in Michigan had one. It was pretty wild for back in 03. It was RWD. This thing looks too tall, but still awesome nonetheless.

Nice!

Those 360 V8’s will go 400K miles without a hiccup

With the Kennebelle it actually would on push about 280ish to the wheel. But boost was not that much from factory from what I understand.

I only knew of this before hand because my cousin wanted one as his first car and wouldn't stop looking around for them 😂

Just love them🙂

Those 5.9L where rated at 7,500lbs towing. I have a 05 Dodge Durango with 5.7L hemi and it tow up to 9,000lbs with a weight distribution hitch.

THATS BADAZZ!!!

i knew this car first in ps1 game test drive offroad 3 along with the other perfomance car (saleen xp8). hopefully you can find the saleen xp8 in the future for review

We know what CS was the king of making vehicles better than factory. I’d love to see what would’ve been if he collaborated with GM. I’m sure ford and dodge were proud to have him on there teams. RIP to the king.

Ive got it on VHS,. Motortend did a review

So its got likely 20k more miles than the odometer from RV trailering miles. Axles bearings suspension bearings in the trans and T case all have more miles i would go under it and oil spray it judging by the hitch rust and wheel scratches i bet she seen salt and snow. Also never off road it that's likely fiberglass skirts and bumpers

I knew this car existed but I've never seen a detailed video on it. If I had the money, which I don't, I'd go to him and buy it

Yall a bit close on the thumbnail🤔

I'd clear coat the wheels over Carol Shelby's signature.

Sick

Selling mine right now. Give me a holler!

To be honest I never knew this Durango existed!

I looked up the mpg , and it’s 12/16

The 99 slt+ with the 5.9l where rated for 7,200lbs towing. I would assume the sp360 is the same.

Badass vehicle! The Durango always got all the cool packages/treatments, and the Grand Cherokee was either just a test platform or simply forgotten about by Chrysler leadership. Nowadays it's kinda the opposite, what with the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk getting the hellcat engine. Made me think, though... How awesome would it be to supercharge a '98 Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited?!
