The 2027 Dodge Durango is engineered for confidence under load and control at speed. Powertrains range from a responsive 3.6L Pentastar® V6 to three HEMI® V8 options, including the Supercharged 6.2L HEMI® V8 on SRT® Hellcat models—rated at a jaw-dropping 710 horsepower. With the available Tow ’n Go Package on Durango HEMI® V8 models, you can unlock a Best-in-Class available towing capacity of up to 8,700 pounds when properly equipped, supported by hardware like Bilstein® Active Damping suspension, Brembo brakes, performance drive modes, and an electronic limited-slip rear axle. Balanced weight distribution, an eight-speed automatic transmission, and an available AWD system across the lineup help the Durango feel planted and responsive on the highway and steady on uneven surfaces around Dane County.
The Durango’s cabin makes long days feel shorter. The driver-focused layout centers on a crisp 10.1-inch touchscreen powered by Uconnect® 5, so you can set up custom home screens for up to five drivers, store favorite routes, and keep your go-to apps within a tap. Families appreciate the second-row Fold & Tumble seats for quick third-row access and how easily both rear rows convert into a flat load floor for large cargo. Add available leather and Alcantara® Suede SRT® performance seating or premium leather-trimmed options, and the Durango delivers that confident Dodge presence with day-long comfort for commuting and road trips alike.
A strong SUV starts with a strong foundation. The Durango helps deliver peace of mind with standard stability and visibility enhancements and a deep set of available driver-assist features that step in when you need them. Commuting around Madison or merging onto US-151 feels more controlled with available Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop, while available Forward Collision Warning with Full Stop can provide audible, visual, and braking support. Add the Trailer Tow IV Package, and the Durango’s blind-spot system extends its awareness alongside your trailer—exactly the kind of thoughtful tech that makes towing around the lakes or out toward Waunakee feel more manageable.

Many three-row SUVs focus solely on family comfort or gentle commuting. The Durango does both—and adds genuine performance credibility. Against rivals that cap towing around 5,000 to 6,000 pounds, the Durango’s available 8,700-pound rating provides a wider margin for boats, campers, and utility trailers. Where some competitors top out with V6 or small turbo power, the Durango lineup includes HEMI® V8 options and the SRT® Hellcat—recognized as the most powerful gas-engine SUV on the road. Technology is equally driver-centric, with available Performance and SRT® Pages that show g-force, engine power, and dynamics data on the Uconnect® 5 screen. For Madison shoppers navigating city streets during the week and towing up to the Wisconsin River or over to Governor Dodge State Park on weekends, the Durango’s blend of strength, space, and smarts makes it stand out in a crowded class.
