The current Dodge Durango is available in SE, midgrade SLT and Limited trim levels and it comes with one of three engines: a 210-horsepower V6, a 303-hp V8 and a Hemi 376-hp V8. These are offered with either rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive with low-range gearing. Alternatively, a single-speed transfer case can be specified on select 4WD models, which essentially means that you can get a Durango with all-wheel drive. All Durangos come with Dodge Durango Accessories available like automatic transmissions as standard -- four-speeds for the V6, five for the V8s.
In an interesting side story, the Durango Limited HEV hybrid, a two-mode hybrid featuring a Hemi V8 (345 hp and 380 pound-feet of torque), two electric motors (87 hp and 235 lb-ft of torque) and a dual-mode transmission with variable ratios, was cancelled shortly after its debut but may still be available on dealer lots.
In reviews of the Durango, we've found that it handles adequately for a traditional body-on-frame SUV, though car-based crossover SUVs are superior. Interior quality is a couple notches below what we've come to expect from family-friendly utility vehicles. Given the Durango's mass, the V8s are preferable for towing and acceleration. Still, fuel economy is no better than that of a full-size SUV. Overall, we would only recommend the aging Durango if you need a big SUV that can tow and haul a lot of stuff.
