Durango SRT

The 2019 Durango SRT is powered by a 392 cubic inch Hemi V8 that delivers 475 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque, which allows it to go from 0-60 miles per hour in 4.4 seconds. Additionally, it covers the quarter-mile in 12.9 seconds as certified by the National Hot Rod Association all while towing up to 8,700 pounds.

New for 2019, the Durango SRT offers available red seat belts and lightweight, high-performance Brembo brakes with two-piece rotors, as well as an available 825-watt, 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system that delivers opulent sound and refinement. An optional 20-inch in Matte Vapor or Brass Monkey finish is available on Durango SRT.

Durango SRT is loaded with standard performance features, including a performance-tuned all wheel drive system, a sophisticated Active Damping System that opens and closes the Durango SRT’s suspension’s damper valves and an exhaust system tuned to offer an unmistakably deep, high-performance Dodge exhaust note.

The Durango SRT boasts high-speed corning capability due to its stiffer front and rear springs and rear sway bar. Massive Brembo high-performance six-piston and four-piston calipers and vented rotors at all four corners bring Durango SRT to a halt quickly.

Inside, Performance Laguna Leather and true carbon fiber accents on the instrument panel and door bezels are complimented by a hand-wrapped dashboard with live silver accent stitch, SRT flat-bottom performance steering wheel with standard paddle shifters and heated and ventilated front and heated second-row captain’s chairs with embossed SRT logos. Premium velour bound floor mats with embroidered SRT logo and a suede-wrapped headliner and A-pillars give Durango SRT a premium and refined feel.

Durango R/T

The 2019 Dodge Durango R/T offers the most muscle for your dollar, powered by the iconic 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine and mated to the TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. This combination is good for 360 horsepower, 390 lb.-ft. of torque and a tow rating of 7,400 pounds. Fuel Saver Technology with cylinder deactivation seamlessly alternates between smooth, high-fuel-economy four-cylinder mode and V8 mode when more power is in demand.

Durango R/T models are available with Sepia leather seats and an 825-watt, 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system that delivers opulent sound and refinement.

Durango R/T standard equipment includes a performance steering and suspension, performance front fascia with LED fog lamps, high-intensity discharge  headlamps with automatic high-beam headlamps and Uconnect 4C NAV with 8.4-inch touchscreen, navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. With available seven-passenger seating and second-row captain’s chairs, the seats in the 2019 Dodge Durango can be configured in 50 different ways.

Durango GT

The Durango GT sits at the midpoint of the Dodge Durango lineup. Available in rear-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations, the seven-passenger Durango GT equipment list includes leather-trimmed bucket seats with suede inserts and optional heated first- and second-row seats and power liftgate.

The Durango GT model is powered by a standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine that generates 295 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque with dual exhaust mated to a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. Equipped with the V6, the Durango can tow 6,200 pounds.

New for 2019, the well-equipped Durango GT now shares a performance front fascia and LED fog lamps with R/T and SRT models while an SRT-inspired performance hood with center air inlet duct and two heat extractors is available. Also new for 2019, Durango GT models now offer available cloth seating and a new 20-inch wheel design in a Satin Carbon or Brass Monkey finish.

Standard features on Durango GT include LED daytime running lamps, dual exhaust with bright tips and seven-passenger seating with available Capri leather-trimmed seats with suede insert. Other available features include heated first- and second-row seating, heated leather-wrapped sport steering wheel with paddle shifters and power liftgate.

Durango SXT

The powerful, roomy Durango SXT model is powered by a standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine that generates 295 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque with dual exhaust mated to a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission.

For 2019, Durango SXT models offer leather seats for an added premium feel and standard five-passenger seating that can be configured in 50 different ways.

Durango SXT models feature a customizable 7-inch full-color driver infotainment digital cluster display, Uconnect 4 with a 7-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Keyless Enter ‘n Go with Push Button Start. A perforated leather-wrapped sport steering wheel, driver-oriented electronic T-shifter and Bluetooth audio streaming with integrated Voice Command is also standard.
