2026 Dodge Durango

Exploring the 2026 Dodge Durango in Milwaukee, WI

Milwaukee has a long muscle-car streak, and the Durango fits it: a three-row SUV that refuses to apologize for its horsepower. For 2026, Dodge makes that identity explicit by putting a HEMI® V8 under the hood of every Durango in the lineup. For families who need seating for the whole crew but won't trade away the attitude Dodge is known for, the 2026 Durango is a rare combination of practicality and performance. Griffin's Hub Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM is proud to offer the Durango to Milwaukee County drivers.

HEMI V8 Power on Every Trim

The biggest news for 2026 is that V8 power is now standard across the lineup. The GT, R/T, and SRT Hellcat come with a 5.7-liter HEMI V8, a 6.4-liter 392 HEMI V8, and a 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V8, respectively. There is no longer a base V6 to step down to, so every Durango buyer gets real V8 character from day one. That's a meaningful change for shoppers who liked the Durango's styling but wanted more under the hood, and it simplifies the choice to how much power you want.

The GT: A Real Step Up at the Entry Point

Moving the Durango GT to the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 adds 65 horsepower over the previous standard engine, which is a substantial jump for the lineup's starting point. It means the GT feels like a genuine Dodge rather than a compromise, with the kind of throttle response and exhaust note that V8 fans expect. For a family that wants the Durango's space and presence without stepping up to the R/T, the GT now offers a noticeably stronger foundation than it did a year ago.

R/T: The 392 Goes Standard

For the first time, the 392-cubic-inch HEMI V8 is standard on the Durango R/T, producing 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. R/T models include standard all-wheel drive, new 20-by-8-inch Satin Carbon wheels, a performance hood, a nine-speaker Alpine audio system with subwoofer, performance steering and suspension, and a 10.1-inch Uconnect® 5 touchscreen. With wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and wireless charging in the cabin, it's as comfortable for a daily commute as it is satisfying on an open stretch of highway.

SRT Hellcat: The Most Powerful Gas SUV Ever Built

At the top of the lineup, the Durango SRT Hellcat produces 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque from its supercharged HEMI V8, making it the most powerful gas-powered SUV ever built. A new SRT Hellcat Jailbreak option opens up more than six million customization combinations, including six wheel choices and four Brembo brake colors. It's a three-row family SUV with supercar-level output, and it's one of the clearest examples of what makes the Durango different from every other vehicle in its class.

Towing and Color

Every 2026 Durango is rated for best-in-class towing of up to 8,700 pounds, regardless of which HEMI V8 sits under the hood, so you don't have to buy the top trim to pull a boat or a camper. Dodge also brings back the vintage B5 Blue color across the lineup, a nod to the brand's muscle heritage that longtime fans have been asking for.
