The Supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® V8 engine is the most powerful engine option, offering 710 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque, as well as a staggering acceleration time. This engine makes the Durango SRT® Hellcat the most powerful gas-engine SUV.* 

Next in line, the 6.4-liter HEMI® V8 engine delivers 475 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, and can go from 0-60 miles per hour in 4.4 seconds. It’s followed up by the 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 engine, which delivers 360 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque, and offers a 0-60 miles-per-hour time of 6.2 seconds.

Not only are the Durango’s horsepower, torque, and acceleration numbers impressive, but this SUV can tow up to 8,700 pounds, when properly equipped, making it an even more practical choice for your adventures, such as a getaway to the lake, a move across town, or a camping trip.

When you need to transport extra cargo, though, the cabin can easily adapt to make extra room, thanks to second-row 60/40 Fold and Tumble seats, a front passenger forward fold-flat seat, and fold-flat third-row bench seats. This SUV offers up to 85.1 cubic feet of cargo space for bulky items, extra luggage, and adventure gear.

This flexibility helps the Durango bridge the gap between a performance vehicle and a practical family SUV.

Best Ram ProMaster Configurations for Small Businesses

Choosing the right commercial van can make all the difference for a small business. No matter what kind of business you run, your van needs to provide the right balance of cargo capacity, maneuverability, comfort, and capability. The Ram ProMaster is available in several configurations, making it easier to find the van that best matches how your business operates. In this guide, we'll break down the best Ram ProMaster configurations for small businesses, including available body lengths, roof heights, and cargo options. We'll also explain which configurations may work best for different types of businesses, so you can narrow down your choices before visiting Legacy CDJR in Florence, SC. more How to Choose the Right Ram ProMaster Configuration for Your Business No two workdays look the same, and the 2026 Ram ProMaster lineup reflects that. Rather than a single generic cargo van, ProMaster is built around a range of configurations that let you match the vehicle to how you actually work. For small business owners, three factors matter most: wheelbase length, roof height, and payload capacity. Together, they determine how much usable space you get and what kind of work your ProMaster can realistically handle day-to-day. Wheelbase: Balancing Cargo Space and Maneuverability Wheelbase is the biggest determining factor when it comes to usable cargo floor space. Opt for a longer wheelbase, and you get more room for inventory, tools, and shelving, plus more flexibility to section off the interior, whether that's separating clean stock from dirty equipment or building out a mobile workstation. That extra length comes at a cost, though: a bigger footprint. If your day involves tight turns into residential driveways, congested job sites, or parking lots where space is at a premium, a shorter wheelbase can be the more practical choice. The "right" wheelbase is the one that fits your priorities. Ask yourself whether your business needs maximum cargo capacity or the ability to easily get in and out of tight spaces. Roof Height: Making the Most of Interior Space If wheelbase sets your floor space, roof height sets how well you can use the entire space. A taller roof creates vertical room for standing upright, stacking bins, or installing floor-to-ceiling shelving and racking systems. This matters most for businesses where employees are in and out of the cargo area throughout the day. A high-roof ProMaster essentially becomes a mobile workspace: technicians can stand, reach, and organize without hunching over or unloading gear onto the ground just to find what they need. A standard-roof ProMaster, meanwhile, can be the smarter, more efficient choice for businesses that use the van primarily to move materials from point A to point B and don't need much vertical storage. The real question isn't just "how much volume do I need?" It's "how will my team actually move through this space during a shift?" Payload Capacity: Consider More Than Cargo Volume Cargo space tells you what fits, and payload capacity tells you what the van can safely carry. For small businesses, that distinction matters a lot because your total load is rarely just merchandise. When estimating payload, factor in: Tools and equipment Inventory or materials Shelving and storage systems Interior upfits Passengers and additional cargo A van with generous cargo space isn't necessarily the right fit if your typical load runs heavy because you could hit your weight limit long before you run out of room. On the flip side, if your business hauls lighter loads, you have more freedom to prioritize interior layout and organization over sheer capacity. Before settling on a configuration, add up the realistic weight of what you carry on a typical day. If your business regularly runs heavy, payload capacity deserves just as much attention as cargo volume, if not more. Finding the Right Balance Between Space and Usability Bigger isn't automatically better. The largest ProMaster configuration on the lot isn't necessarily the right answer for every small business. The ideal setup is the one that balances cargo capacity, interior organization, payload needs, and maneuverability to match how you actually operate. A longer van gives you more room to haul inventory and equipment, while a shorter wheelbase makes parking and navigating tight spaces easier. The same trade-off applies to roof height: a high roof adds valuable standing room and vertical storage, but a standard roof can be just as practical for businesses that don't need the extra clearance. The best way to cut through the options is to think about your day-to-day, not just your maximum needs. A contractor hauling materials and tools may need floor length and payload capacity above all else. A mobile service provider running from job to job may prioritize tight-space maneuverability and a well-organized interior over sheer size. A delivery-focused business has its own set of priorities entirely, especially if the van is in and out of loading zones multiple times a day. Why Front-Wheel Drive Matters for Business Use The 2026 Ram ProMaster's drivetrain is another factor that shapes how it feels to drive day-to-day. Unlike many traditional cargo vans, the ProMaster is built on a front-wheel-drive layout, with the engine and driven wheels positioned at the front of the vehicle. This design choice helps offset some of the challenges of maneuvering a large commercial van. Size still plays a role in turning radius and parking, of course. But the ProMaster's front-wheel-drive setup is engineered with real-world commercial use in mind, and that translates into a more manageable driving experience for small businesses navigating tight neighborhoods, packed parking lots, and cramped job sites on a daily basis. Choose the Right Ram ProMaster for Your Small Business The Ram ProMaster gives small business owners the flexibility to build a commercial van around their specific needs. Whether you prioritize organized cargo storage, standing room, heavy-duty payload capability, or easier maneuverability, understanding the differences between configurations can help you make a more informed decision. If you're ready to find the right ProMaster for your business, visit Legacy CDJR in Florence, SC. Our team can help you explore available Ram ProMaster options and find a configuration that fits the way you work.

These braking systems work alongside the Gladiator's other towing and chassis components to help provide controlled performance when carrying or pulling heavier loads. What Can the Jeep Gladiator Tow? With a maximum towing capacity of 7,700 pounds, a properly equipped Jeep Gladiator can handle a variety of recreational and utility trailers. Depending on the weight of the trailer and your specific Gladiator configuration, potential uses can include: Small and medium-sized campers Utility trailers Recreational equipment Boats and personal watercraft Landscaping equipment Motorcycles and ATVs Work and cargo trailers Before towing any particular trailer, always check its loaded weight and compare it with your Gladiator's specific towing rating.
