Strong, bold, and powerful, the 2020 Dodge Durango has everything you want in a muscle car but comes as a three-row crossover SUV. Five trim levels, SXT, GT, Citadel, R/T, and SRT, along with loads of options, lets you find the Durango of your dreams. Check out these features, and discover why it’s a popular choice for those looking for a high-performance vehicle that looks great no matter where you take it.
Pentastar V-6 Engine
Standard under the hood of all trim levels is a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine that delivers 295 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. The engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission that includes an electronic T-shifter with intuitive gear selection. On the steering wheel, you’ll find paddle shifters that provide seamless shifting and allow you to keep your hands on the wheel. When properly equipped, the Durango can tow up to 6,200 pounds.
Powerful HEMI V-8 Engines
When you’re looking for more power and performance from your Durango, you’ll have two V-8 engines to choose from. Standard on the R/T trim and available on all other trims is the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine with variable valve timing that delivers 360 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. You get the same eight-speed automatic transmission, and when properly equipped, you can tow up to 7,400 pounds.
Go for the gusto with the high-performing 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 engine that produces a massive 475 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. This engine comes standard on the SRT trim and is available on the other trim levels. Add the tow package, and this engine lets you haul a heavy boat or trailer up to 8,700 pounds.
Rear-Wheel Drive or All-Wheel-Drive Systems
Get plenty of traction for climbing slippery hills, driving around twists and turns, and for solid grip in wet weather with the standard rear-wheel drive system. The 50/50 weight distribution of the rear-wheel-drive system automatically shifts the weight of the vehicle to the drive axle. This kind of ideal weight distribution increases downforce and helps improve the traction of the Durango.
If you plan on taking the Durango on more challenging terrain or backing your boat down a wet ramp, choose the optional all-wheel-drive, which is standard on the R/T trim. All-wheel-drive systems send power to both the front and rear axles all the time, so you have maximum traction and control through changing driving and weather conditions.
Great Off-Road and On-Road Handling
When you’re looking for an aggressive-looking SUV that’s ideal for light off-roading, choose the R/T trim. It comes with upgraded brakes, a lower-ride height, and low-range gearing with the all-wheel-drive system which is ideal to have when driving off-road on uneven terrain.
For high-performance when you’re on the road, choose the SRT trim. The standard 6.4-liter V-8 engine, all-wheel-drive system, performance-tuned suspension, Brembo brakes, and electronic limited-slip differential are the perfect combination for exceptional handling on twists and turns and for high-speed acceleration.
