As the Dodge Durango passes its 20th anniversary of production, this impressive SUV is better than ever before. We’ve taken a close look at what the newest version of the vehicle has to offer, and we think you’ll be excited about what we’ve found.
Seven Different Trims
You’re spoiled with choice when it comes to the 2019 Dodge Durango. There are seven different trims, starting with the entry-level SXT. As you move up the list of available configurations, though, you’ll notice an escalating set of features sure to impress even the most wary buyer.
Take advantage of perks like bright roof side rails, an eight-way driver’s seat, shark fin antenna, power-operated liftgate, and platinum chrome aluminum wheels. If you opt for the premium SRT model, you’ll even have performance-tuned all-wheel drive. Cost varies significantly with each trim, so there’s a version of the new Durango for just about everyone.
Dynamic Performance
Enjoy class-defining performance when you get behind the wheel of the 2019 Dodge Durango. Depending on which trim of the SUV choose, you’ll be able to tow anywhere from 6,200 pounds to 8,700 pounds, which represents the best in the class.
There’s also a dynamic element to the SUV’s performance thanks to the mechanics of the vehicle’s axles. When you accelerate, the weight shifts to the drive axle to improve traction; otherwise, the front-engine and rear-drive axle distribute the vehicle’s weight at an almost-perfect 50/50 ratio. Plus, with two available all-wheel-drive systems, the 2019 Durango lets you tackle any terrain.
Three Capable Engines
Access the power of three available engines, depending on the trim you choose. The first is a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-8 engine that delivers up to 295 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Second is a 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine that generates 360 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. This engine also uses Variable Valve Timing (VVT) technology to operate efficiently, saving you on fuel costs.
The third engine is a 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 engine that produces an incredible 475 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. This engine comes standard on the SRT all-wheel-drive trim and allows the SUV to attain its remarkable towing capacity.
Driving Experience
Smart buyers should always remember to check out the interior of their next vehicle. You’ll be in the SUV’s cabin every day, depending on your routine, and you wouldn’t want to end up in a vehicle that’s uncomfortable. Fortunately, that won’t be a concern with the 2019 Dodge Durango.
Reviewers have praised the quiet, comfortable cabin and firm seating of the SUV. Ride quality is also smooth and pleasant with the tactile heaviness of a larger truck. Additionally, with plenty of cargo space and leg room for passengers, you won’t have to listen to any complaints from family members on a long-haul road trip.
The 2019 Dodge Durango represents the pinnacle of this model’s design. If you like the sound of this modern SUV, visit our website to check our current inventory and schedule a test drive.
