Three-row SUVs have continued to dominate the market year after year, but few pack the muscle and the appeal of the 2021 Dodge Durango. It offers the most powerful engine in its class, and its spacious seating, modern features, and available 4×4 system make this the perfect family vehicle. Tackling a muddy trail won’t give you a moment’s pause with its low-range gearing and thrilling performance.
1. Pentastar V6 Engine
A Hemi V8 engine is offered with this year’s Durgano, but most drivers will be pleasantly surprised by the standard Pentastar V6 engine. Models featuring a dual-outlet exhaust develop 295 horsepower. With the V6-powered engine, expect your new Durango to reach 60 mph in only about 7.7 seconds; an incredible feat by a 5,000-pound SUV. Up to 26 mpg on the freeway gives this vehicle the best fuel economy for its size and caliber.
2. Towing Capacity
Most people only think of pickup trucks when considering towing capacity, but the 2021 Durango is a surprisingly viable alternative. Durango’s that are equipped with the standard V6 engine can handle a load of up to 6,200 pounds, while the upgraded Hemi V8 engine can increase the towing capacity to an impressive 8,700 pounds. From show cars to travel trailers, drivers will never find themselves unprepared. A load-leveling rear suspension and trailer sway control are also available.
3. Off-Road Driving
Friends and family will love accompanying you on camping trips and off-road adventures in the new Durango. Its capable 4×4 system is available to assist in tackling mud and snow, and the 4 wheel drive’s low-range setting for enhanced traction means you can take the road less traveled. With a ground clearance of 8.1 inches, this SUV performs well on every terrain without the fear of getting stuck or damaging your undercarriage.
4. Supreme Ride Quality
The new Durango handles incredibly well for a vehicle of this stature. Its high-performance models that come equipped with the adaptive suspension system are an especially smooth ride. Arguably its best attribute, the soft and comfortable handling of its standard suspension glides over bumps and rougher terrains with ease. And with a smoother suspension, you’ll notice that road noise is significantly reduced in the cabin.
5. Muscular Body Style
When setting your eyes upon the new 2021 Durango, you’ll notice immediately that its updated body style is much more muscular than you would expect of a typical crossover. The overhauled grille, LED headlights, and vented hood create give its appearance some serious attitude. This SUV has the brains and brawn to appeal to a multitude of people and families that value making a statement whether in the driveway or on the road.
The 2021 Durango’s spacious, muscular, and updated technologies make this the three-row SUV that’s ideal for families and adventure-seekers alike.
