The 2025 Dodge Durango is the last bastion for the brand’s lineup of muscular V-8 powertrains. Its powerful engine and impressive towing capabilities will be missed as the world adjusts to updated norms and expectations when it comes to vehicles. You might not want to miss the last chance you have to get one of these impressive mid-size SUVs.
Key Takeaways:
- The 2025 Durango has impressive power with its standard V-6 and optional V-8 powertrain options.
- The Dodge Durango has strong payload and towing capabilities as well as comparable cargo space available.
- The Durango starts with an MSRP of $38,495 and tops out at $101,290 for the SRT Hellcat Brass Monkey.
What kind of engine does the Durango have?
The 2025 Durango has got the power! It has three powertrain options. The standard is a 3.6L V6 with 293 horsepower. To get even more power, there is the 360 horsepower 5.7L V-8. And to top it all off, the best-of-the-best engine is the 710 horsepower supercharged 6.2L V-8 in the SRT Hellcat.
These are paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, though most trims are available with all-wheel drive and the Hellcat models have standard all-wheel drive. And to talk “get up and go”, the Durango can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour, in about 7.4 seconds with the V6 and impressively, 6.2 seconds with the V-8.
What is the towing capacity of the Dodge Durango?
With such a powerful engine, you’d expect the Durango to be able to tow a good amount of weight… and you would be right. Models equipped with the V6 engine are rated to tow 6,200 pounds. The V-8 engine models can tow up to 7,200 pounds, or up to 8,700 pounds with the added Tow and Go package.
The Durango will comfortably seat you and up to six of your friends and family members with three rows of seating capable of over fifty seat configurations. The second and third row seats fold down, expanding the rear cargo space to 85.1 cubic feet.
How much does the Durango cost?
The 2025 Dodge Durango comes in ten different trim options, including two 20th anniversary editions and three Hellcat models. And with nine different exterior color options, the choices seem endless.
Though the standard basic model is reasonably priced, expect to pay once you start adding packages and optional features as well as for the premium models. The basic GT starts with an MSRP of $38,495. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the SRT Hellcat Brass Monkey starts with an MSRP of $101,290.
Summary:
If you’re looking for a powerful SUV with impressive towing capabilities and you like the iconic muscle feel that Dodge is known for, the 2025 Dodge Durango is a good choice to explore.
