Strength and Power of the Dodge Durango

If there’s one thing you can expect from a Dodge SUV, it’s a mighty powertrain that knows how to get the job done. In the 2019 Dodge Durango, you see that in the three different engine options:

• 3.6L Pentastar® V6: 295 horsepower, 260 lb-ft of torque
• 5.7L HEMI® V8: 360 horsepower, 390 lb-ft of torque
• 6.4L HEMI® V8: 475 horsepower, 470 lb-ft of torque

All three engines come paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission with an electronic T-shifter that provides smooth and efficient shifting to keep your performance optimized. However, you have the freedom to take control of your SUV at any time with the available steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

Drivers who need to pull heavy loads will probably do best to choose one of the V8 engines. The 5.7L HEMI® can tow a maximum of 7,400 pounds when properly equipped, while the 6.4L HEMI® can tow up to 8,700 pounds when properly equipped.

2019 Dodge Durango Handling and Performance Review

In addition to its strength, the 2019 Durango is also dexterous when it comes to taking on tough handling challenges.

This SUV equips drivers with two different all-wheel drive (AWD) systems that help to improve traction and provide a dynamic driving experience. The first is a single-speed full-time AWD system. This automatic system transfers between front-wheel drive (FWD) and AWD for you based on your traction needs.

The other option is a 2-speed active on-demand AWD system that comes paired with the 5.7L HEMI® engine. This system provides the option to lock your drivetrain in AWD mode when you’re facing especially rough conditions.

Certain trim levels also make selectable performance options available to further enhance your performance. The six available drive modes are: Track, Sport, Custom, Auto, Snow, and Tow.

Durango Technology

Inside the cockpit of the Dodge Durango, you’ll find the available Uconnect® 4 infotainment system that can help you stay connected when you hit the road. This includes a 7-inch full-color touchscreen display and Bluetooth® connectivity that allows you to make hands-free phone calls and stream music from your wireless device.

Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™ are also compatible with the 2019 Durango and let you fully integrate your favorite smartphone apps with your car, including phone calls, texting, compatible internet radio, and even navigation.

If you prefer to use your car’s navigation system, you can also opt for the available Uconnect® 4C NAV system, which comes with an integrated GPS and an 8-inch touchscreen display.
