About the Dodge Stratus Engine
This is the 2.7L V6, engine code EER, the power unit that gave the second-generation Dodge Stratus its smooth & confident character. Built from 2001 to 2006, it is a DOHC 24-valve design with an aluminum block and aluminum heads, fed by sequential multi-port fuel injection and mounted transversely to drive the front wheels through a 4-speed automatic. It makes about 200 hp and 190 lb-ft, a clear step up from the base four-cylinder, with quiet running and good low-end response.
