2026 Dodge Durango Model Research in Alexandria, MN

Overview

The 2026 Dodge Durango is one of those rare vehicles that genuinely does it all — three rows of seating, class-leading towing capability for its segment, available V8 power, and enough performance attitude to set it apart from the family-hauler crowd in a way that Dodge vehicles typically manage and competitors rarely match. For Alexandria families who refuse to let practicality drain the fun out of the daily driver equation, the Durango makes a compelling argument that you don’t have to pick between the two.

Powertrain Options

The Durango offers buyers a genuine choice based on how they prioritize capability versus efficiency. The 3.6L Pentastar® V6 is the standard powertrain, delivering capable everyday performance and respectable fuel economy for a three-row SUV. The available 5.7L HEMI® V8 raises the towing rating significantly and adds the V8 character that Dodge buyers typically seek. For performance-focused buyers, the SRT® 392 trim adds a 6.4L HEMI V8 producing 475 horsepower — enough to make the Durango the fastest three-row SUV in the segment and a vehicle that lives up to the SRT badge it carries. All engines pair with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Towing Capability

When properly equipped with the V8 and available towing packages, the Durango can tow up to 8,700 lbs — the highest towing rating in the three-row SUV segment for a non-truck-based vehicle. That number matters for Minnesota families who mix lake trips, camper weekends, and horse trailer use into their regular schedule. Available safety-tow technology features including trailer sway control, an integrated trailer brake controller, and available rear-view camera make working with that capacity significantly more manageable.

Interior & Three-Row Seating

The Durango seats up to seven passengers across three rows. The cabin’s interior quality has been progressively updated, and available features on upper trims include Nappa leather seating, a 10.1-inch Uconnect® 5 touchscreen, a 19-speaker Harman Kardon® audio system, heated and ventilated front seats, second-row heated seats, a dual-pane panoramic sunroof, and an available rear-seat entertainment system. The SRT 392’s interior adds performance-oriented detailing that distinguishes it clearly from the family-hauler trims.

Safety

Standard and available safety features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise control. A Surround View Camera system is available on upper trims, and trailer-detection safety features add to the Durango’s towing confidence. It’s a well-equipped safety package for a vehicle that sees the range of use the Durango typically does.

Trims & Options

The 2026 Durango lineup spans SXT, GT, Citadel, R/T, SRT 392, and Pursuit trims. The GT adds sport-tuned performance elements without the full commitment of the R/T. The R/T pairs the 5.7L HEMI V8 with performance-oriented hardware for the best combination of everyday usability and genuine V8 character. The SRT 392 is the top-of-the-range performance flagship, with Brembo® brakes, an active exhaust, and launch control standard.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 2026 Dodge Durango

What is the towing capacity of the 2026 Dodge Durango?

When properly equipped with the 5.7L HEMI V8 and available towing package, the 2026 Durango can tow up to 8,700 lbs — the highest rating in the three-row mid-size SUV segment. The standard V6 is rated for up to 6,200 lbs. Either way, the Durango outpulls most of its three-row competitors by a meaningful margin.

Is the Dodge Durango SRT 392 really fast for a three-row SUV?

Yes. The SRT 392’s 6.4L HEMI V8 produces 475 horsepower, and the Durango SRT 392 has consistently posted 0-60 mph times in the low-four-second range — faster than many sports cars and genuinely quick by any standard. It carries all three rows of seating and its full family SUV dimensions, which makes those numbers even more impressive in context.

Does the Durango have all-wheel drive?

Yes. All-wheel drive is available across the Durango lineup. The standard configuration is rear-wheel drive, and AWD is offered on most trims for buyers who want added confidence in Minnesota’s winter conditions. The AWD system operates automatically and requires no driver input to manage traction across varied road surfaces.
