See why Edmunds says that the 2019 Dodge Durango "remains one of the most capable and well-rounded three-row crossovers you can buy." Here are just three of the reasons that the 2019 Durango is totally insane.

Powerful Performance

The 2019 Durango is powered by a muscular lineup of engines. The 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 is the backbone of the Durango family. It gets 295 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque and can tow up to 6,200 pounds.

Upgrade to the Durango SRT for maximum power with the 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 engine. It makes a monster 475 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, with best-in-class maximum towing capability of 8,700 pounds. The SRT's confident stability, impressive braking, and strong structure contribute to its handling and performance. The Durango offers two available all-wheel drive-systems, depending on your engine choice, that enhance handling and traction in a wide range of road conditions. In the rear-wheel-drive models, a near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution is created by the front engine and rear drive axle. Standard trailer sway control helps minimize sway automatically to keep your vehicle and trailer stable.

Sleek Style

The sleek, clean lines of the Durango family are inspired by heritage Dodge muscle, with a modern twist. The iconic standard LED racetrack taillamp forms a seamless ribbon of red light, and the signature floating split-crosshair grille with bright or dark accents is designed for the road. Standard projector fog lamps improve visibility even in poor conditions so you can drive with confidence. The available Mopar dual stripes from the nose to the rear of the Durango R/T and SRT give the vehicle an aggressive look that's sure to turn heads.

The Latest in High-End Tech

Packed with the latest in entertainment and safety tech, the 2019 Durango takes fun to the next level while making your life that much easier. The four-wheel disc anti-lock braking system enables each wheel to brake independently, delivering exceptional control. Available blind spot monitoring alerts you of other vehicles traveling in your blind spot, making changing lanes hassle-free. Available rain-sensing windshield wipers activate automatically when moisture is detected on the windshield so you won't have to take your hands off the wheel in rainy weather conditions. Two Dodge Uconnect systems in the Durango include Uconnect 4, which comes with a 7-inch touch screen, mobile device integration, Bluetooth streaming audio, SiriusXM, and more, and the available Uconnect 4C Nav, which adds a larger 8.4-inch touch screen, as well as navigation, SiriusXM traffic plus, SiriusXM travel link, and more.
