2019 Dodge Durango

The 2019 Durango gives you five basic trim options: SXT, GT, Citadel, R/T, and SRT. With the SXT or its Plus package, you get standard features like an eight-way adjustable driver's seat, 18-inch wheels, and a 7-inch touch screen. The mid-level GT and Citadel trims offer 20-inch wheels, mixed leather-suede seats, a power liftgate, and heated front-row seats. The R/T trim offers performance upgrades like a bigger engine and Brembo brakes, but for the best feature list you should get an SRT with its 19 Harman Kardon speakers and Brembo brakes with two-piece rotors.

There are a total of three engine options when you decide to get a 2019 Dodge Durango. First is the 3.6-liter V-6 that offers 295 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. With the right towing gear, this engine gives the Durango a towing limit of 6,200 pounds. The middle engine is a 6.7-liter V-8 Hemi that delivers 360 horsepower, 390 pound-feet of torque, and a towing max of 7,400 pounds. The SRT trim gets its own engine, and this one takes up 6.4 liters with eight cylinders to generate 475 horsepower with 470 pound-feet of torque with a towing limit of 8,700 pounds.

While the 2019 Durango is a family vehicle with a comfortable suspension tuned for long road trips, it's also a high-performing Dodge vehicle that offers upgraded parts and more powerful engines at the top of its trim range. In particular, the SRT has a powerful engine that wouldn't feel out of place on a racetrack. With the lightest engine, the Durango can be one of the most efficient in its class with 26 highway mpg. As an SUV, the Durango also offers all-wheel drive on all of its trims for drivers who want the extra traction.

Even with all three rows installed, the 2019 Dodge Durango has a full 17.2 cubic feet to spare for cargo in the back. With all back rows folded down, the cargo loading area increases to 84.5 cubic feet. As a family vehicle, the Durango offers plenty of comfort features like three-zone automatic climate control, two rows of heated seats, a sunroof, and leather upholstery. You can also get the available rear-seat entertainment system to keep passengers busy on long trips with dual screens, two wireless headphones, and a Blu-Ray disc player. With the right options, you'll also get nine Beats speakers or 19 Harman Kardon speakers.

To cover the basics, the 2019 Durango comes standard with Ready Alert Braking and seven air bags. Get the right trim level and you can also count on Lane Departure Warning Plus, Full-Speed Forward Collision Plus, and ParkSense front and rear parking sensors.
