Tough as nails and not afraid to do the hard work, Dodge has defined the sports utility vehicle. Its presence is undeniable with cargo capacity and passenger space to boot. It's the SUV that fits your needs to a T. It is called the Dodge Durango. It all starts with a large crosshair grille, flanked by two headlamp units with LED daytime lenses. Sportier models receive a front end reminiscent of the Charger SRT, adding more aggression to your family hauler. The passenger/cargo area is large – with good reason. (More on that ahead.) The race track taillights are a symbol that this is no ordinary SUV – it is a Dodge. It will perform accordingly. Accommodating up to seven passengers across three rows of seats, the Durango has plenty of room for families and their luggage towards any adventure available. They are surrounded by a high-quality interior that can be sporty or luxurious, depending on which trim is fits your tastes and lifestyle. Everything is nice to the touch, friendly and familiar, and controls and switches are easily accessible for the driver. The Durango offers the 8.4-inch UConnect Touch screen and a customizable center TFT screen providing all of the information needed at a moment’s glance. The Durango is one of the safest Dodges ever designed. Active safety features dot around the vehicle, including ParkView and ParkSense, making things easier for one of the toughest jobs a SUV driver has to do. Forward Collision Warning Plus, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Blind Spot Monitoring, and the Electric Stability Program add the assurance of accident avoidance on the road. Now, the Durango is more connected than ever, thanks to UConnect System and customer service providing 9-1-1 emergency service and roadside assistance right at your fingertips. In terms of power, the Durango is offered with two engine choices. Standard is the Pentastar 3.6-liter V6 with 290 horsepower on tap. It is as powerful as it is efficient, capable of getting 25 MPG on the highway. The next step is the HEMI 5.7-Liter V8 with 360 horsepower capable of towing up to 7,400 pounds. Both engines are connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission, selectable through the rotary e-shift knob and paddle shifters. The Durango offers both two-wheel drive (4x2) and four-wheel drive (4x4). However, there is another step up – the Durango SRT. It may look like your run-of-the-mill Durango, but with a monster *392* 6.4-liter V8 underneath its hood. Even with 475 horsepower on tap, the Durango SRT can tow up to 8,700 pounds. When you are not towing, try the SRT mode – the only way to have fun in a three-row SUV. It takes family hauling “up to eleven.” No wonder why it’s the called America’s most powerful three-row SUV! The Durango starts at $30,195. There is so much fun and adventure waiting for the Durango to conquer. Stop by Palmen Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Racine to see our inventory of new Dodge Durangos.
