Although many SUV offerings try to combine big horsepower and thrilling performance, few can offer either, much less BOTH, like the 2024 Dodge Durango near Silver City, NM. This impressive SUV brings excitement to the three-row family hauler like no other vehicle can. It also boasts a fantastic towing capacity, a comfortable ride, and strong engine options, thanks to its return to the truck-like, body-on-frame configuration. Besides a few other minor updates, we don’t expect any significant changes for the new model year.
Power and Performance
There are six trims in the Durango lineup, with the SXT coming in at entry level. This model comes standard with the hearty 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. Choose this trim, and you’ll get 295 horsepower, 260 lb-ft of torque, seating for five, and a combined fuel economy of 22 MPG. For a third row and room for seven passengers, the GT model fits the bill and shares the same powertrain.
Stepping up to the R/T and HEMI Orange trims brings the famous 5.7-liter HEMI V8, delivering 360 horses and 390 lb-ft of torque, enabling this Durango to tow up to 7,400 pounds when properly equipped. Of course, fuel economy is lowered with the larger engine, but if you enjoy higher horsepower, it’s a necessary trade-off.
The upper midlevel Citadel trim has the V6 Pentastar under the hood, but this model brings more features and seating for six. Moving up to the SRT 392 puts a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 that boasts the power of 475 horses and 470 lb-ft of twist. This trim also comes standard with all-wheel drive. Finally, the phenomenal Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat pushes performance to the next level with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that delivers a whopping 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque!
2024 Dodge Durango near Siver City, NM: What’s New?
As we said, changes for the 2024 Durango are few. Blind-Spot Monitoring is now standard across the Durango range, and the advanced BSM with the Trailer Detect function is now included in the Trailer (Tow N Go) Package. This package is popular thanks to its combination of class-leading performance and practicality, plus it boosts the towing capacity to 8,700 pounds. It’s now offered on the Citadel trim along with the R/T and adds styling elements inspired by the SRT models, and some performance extras like the SRT Performance exhaust (you’ll love that throaty growl!).
Interior and Technology
As a carryover model, the cabin of the new Durango won’t change. It has a straightforward, yet upscale design accentuated with premium materials, a two-tiered dash, and simple physical controls. The Durango’s rack and pinion steering via a thick steering wheel, paddle shifters, angled shift lever, and heavily bolstered front seats give this SUV a much sportier look than its competitors. Most models offer seating for up to seven occupants and about 85 cubic feet of cargo space.
Concerning technology, the 2024 Dodge Durango near Silver City, NM will arrive with the same content as the current model. Standard features include an 8.4-inch touchscreen, a 7-inch digital gauge cluster, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, satellite radio, six speakers, and four USB ports. Available features include wireless smartphone connectivity, wireless charging, a 10-inch touchscreen, navigation, Amazon Alexa, and a premium 19-speaker audio system.
As for safety, along with BSM, all Durangos will have rear cross-traffic alert and a backup camera as standard equipment. Other available driver-assist tech includes:
- auto emergency braking
