The 2020 Dodge Durango SRT is North America’s fastest, most powerful and most capable three-row SUV powered by the proven 392-cubic-inch HEMI V-8 to deliver 475 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque, allowing it to go from 0-60 miles per hour (mph) in 4.4 seconds and covering the quarter mile in 12.9 seconds as certified by the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA), all while out-hauling every three-row full-size SUV on the road with a best-in-class towing capability of 3,946 kilograms (8,700 pounds).
The most complete and capable towing vehicle in its class, Durango’s standard TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission is paired with the award-winning 3.6-litre Pentastar V-6 engine rated at up to 295 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque and best-in-class towing capability of 2,812 kg (6,200 lb.), while the classic 5.7-litre HEMI® V-8 engine produces a best-in-class 360 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque and class-leading towing capability of 3,265 kg (7,400 lb.).
Technology for 2020 includes an available programmable digital instrument cluster, available class-exclusive 9-inch dual-screen Blu-ray and DVD player for rear-seat passengers, available 19-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system, 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen radio with Apple CarPlay, Android AutoTM, navigation, available integrated trailer brake when equipped with the Trailer-tow package and a function to view trailed items through the rear-mounted camera while the Durango is in motion.
Durango’s available three-row seating offers spaciousness and flexibility with 2,407 litres (85 cu. ft.) of cargo capacity and 50 different seating configurations, including available second-row captain’s chairs.
The 2020 Dodge Durango offers consumers more than 60 available safety and security features, with seven standard airbags, including full-length three-row side-curtain airbags, standard front-seat-mounted side-thorax airbags, front-row active head restraints, standard trailer-sway control and available forward collision warning with crash mitigation, adaptive cruise control with stop, Blind-Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path detection, Uconnect Access with 9-1-1 call and roadside assistance.
Standard all-wheel drive (AWD) enhances driver confidence by leveraging the Durango’s 50/50 weight distribution. The Durango SRT features standard AWD. The Durango’s three available AWD systems greatly enhance the vehicle’s traction and handling.
While competitors have switched to front-wheel-drive, car-based platforms, the 5.7-litre and 6.4-litre HEMI-powered AWD Durango models feature a low-range transfer case with a neutral position. Low range improves light off-road performance and helps ease manoeuvres, such as pulling a boat up a steep launch or backing up with a trailer. The neutral position in the transfer case allows the vehicle to be flat towed without damaging powertrain components.
With standard seven-passenger seating on SXT, GT and R/T, optional five-passenger seating on SXT and second-row captain’s chairs available on SXT, GT and R/T models, the seats in the 2020 Dodge Durango can be configured in 50 different ways. Durango Citadel and SRT models feature standard second-row captain’s chairs and six-passenger seating.
Families with three or more children will find the Durango’s available captain’s chairs with pass through especially helpful as child safety seats can be latched into each second-row seat, and there’s still easy pass-through for passengers to walk between to get to the third row
Durango’s Uconnect infotainment system is available via either a standard 7-inch or available 8.4-inch touchscreen, the latter of which is the largest touchscreen in its class. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard on all Durango models.
