2018 Dodge Durango R/T

The 2018 Durango is Dodge's three-row SUV, blending family hauling with muscle-car attitude. It goes up against the Ford Explorer, Chevrolet Traverse, and Toyota Highlander, but with more available power. The Durango drives with a planted, confident feel, and the V8 models deliver strong acceleration that belies the size. Inside, there's comfortable seating for up to seven, with a practical layout and plenty of cargo space behind the third row. The R/T sits above the GT and Citadel trims, swapping luxury touches for the 5.7L V8, sport suspension, and a performance hood. Its 5.7L V8 makes 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque, routed through a eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive that pull hard from a stop and tow with confidence. The R/T gets a sport-tuned suspension and selectable steering modes, so the ride is firmer than the Citadel's but the handling is noticeably sharper.
