2024 Dodge Durango GT

The 2024 Durango is a three-row SUV that keeps Dodge's muscle-car attitude, offering V6 or V8 power in a family-sized package. It squares off against the Ford Explorer, Jeep Grand Cherokee L, and Kia Telluride, but none of them offer a V8. The Durango drives with a heavy, planted feel, and the V8s make it genuinely quick for an SUV. The ride is firm, especially with the performance-tuned suspension, which is the price of its handling. Inside, the cabin is roomy and functional, with a straightforward layout and available captain's chairs in the second row. The GT is the sporty-looking V6 Durango, with blacked-out grille and window trim that the SXT doesn't get, and cloth seats instead of the Citadel's leather. Its 3.6L V6 makes 295 horsepower and pairs with an automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, which is enough to move this big SUV with authority and returns 21 mpg combined.
