Powertrain and Performance Upgrades
The 2026 Dodge Durango redefines what you can expect from a three-row SUV with muscle car-level performance.
The GT trim is powered by a 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. This V6 is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard AWD, offering confident handling and plenty of power for daily driving and light towing.
When you step up to the R/T trim, you’ll unlock the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V8, boasting an impressive 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. Its deep rumble and easy acceleration provide a genuine muscle car feel. The HEMI is complemented by performance suspension tuning, premium Alpine audio, and wireless charging. To top it off, the R/T is the only V8-powered SUV currently available under $50,000.
If you’re looking for ultimate performance, the SRT Hellcat variant will arrive in late Q3, and it’s going to unleash a mind-blowing 710 horsepower. This makes it officially the most powerful gas-powered SUV on the market.
Need a workhorse? Opt for the optional Tow N Go Package. It increases towing capacity to 8,700 pounds and includes adaptive suspension, Brembo brakes, and a limited-slip rear differential for enhanced capability. The package also adds wide-body fenders for an aggressive stance, an SRT exhaust for a signature sound, and Performance Pages with multiple drive modes to customize your driving experience.
The 2026 Durango, especially with V8 power, is proof that performance and practicality can coexist, whether you're towing a boat or cruising the highway.
