The price reference is the median of configuration medians, not the median of all active cars. Each configuration has equal weight. Configurations with at least 3 priced listings are used when available; otherwise the reference uses the configurations with a recorded price. Model years, mileage and condition vary. Open a model-year report below for its asking prices across all engines.
Where the 5.9L 8-cyl sits in the Durango engine lineup
Every engine family this model was sold with, ordered by size. The bar spans the model years recorded for it; the price is a reference across priced configurations, with each configuration weighted equally. Older engines look cheaper because the cars are older — overlapping years alone do not match the vehicles by age, trim, mileage or condition.
4 engine families, one nameplate. Open the Dodge Durango price hub to compare them side by side, or to jump into any of the others.
Which Durango years got a 5.9L 8-cyl engine
Every model year this engine was fitted to, newest first. The bar is how much of the family's VIN volume sits in that year — long bars are the years this engine was everywhere.
VIN counts come from our decode of the model's build patterns, not from live listings. A year link opens the full Durango report for that year — every engine of the model, not just this one.

The 5.9L 8-cyl Durango: common questions
Which Durango years have the 5.9L 8-cyl?
1998–2003, without a break — 6 model years in our VIN decode, across 22 factory configurations and 4,567 VINs.
What does a 5.9L 8-cyl Durango cost?
$6,950 is a configuration price reference: the median of configuration medians, with each priced configuration weighted equally. It is not a listing-level median or a valuation of an individual car. The year-by-year ladder shows VIN and inventory counts; its links open model-year price reports covering all engines.
