2026 Dodge Durango in Tunkhannock, PA

Overview

The 2026 Dodge Durango is the only three-row SUV on the market built around the philosophy of a muscle car — and it makes no apologies for it. While most three-row family SUVs are powered by four-cylinder engines and engineered primarily around fuel economy, the Durango starts with a V6 and gives buyers the option to step up to a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 or, if you want to go all the way, the supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 producing 710 horsepower. For families in Tunkhannock, PA and throughout Wyoming County who refuse to trade driving excitement for practicality, the 2026 Durango is the answer. It tows up to 8,700 pounds — best-in-class for a three-row SUV — seats seven passengers across three rows, delivers 85.1 cubic feet of cargo space with the seats folded, and hits 60 mph from a dead stop in 3.5 seconds in Hellcat trim. It is, unapologetically, unlike anything else in its segment. Browse our current Dodge Durango inventory or start your financing application online today.

What's New for 2026

The 2026 Durango is largely a carryover model, continuing to deliver the proven combination of HEMI power, best-in-class towing, and three-row practicality that has defined the nameplate for over a decade. The headline addition for 2026 is the new Blacktop Redline Package, available on the GT Plus, GT HEMI V8 Plus, and GT HEMI V8 Premium trims. This package adds aggressive styling elements both inside and out — red-accented interior details, blacked-out exterior trim, and unique badging that amplify the Durango's already muscular character without touching the powertrain. A new B5 Blue exterior color has also been added to the palette for 2026. It is worth noting for prospective buyers that a next-generation Durango is widely expected to arrive in the near future, which means 2026 may be one of the final model years of the current-generation platform. For buyers who love the current Durango's classic muscle-car inspired design, HEMI-powered lineup, and proven towing credentials, now is a compelling time to get into one.

Trim Levels

The 2026 Durango lineup is built around three engine tiers across eight configurations, giving buyers a wide range of performance and price options. The base GT in rear-wheel drive starts at $38,995 — the most affordable entry point — powered by the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, with AWD available for $2,000 more at $40,995. The GT HEMI V8 AWD at $42,495 is where the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 enters the lineup, and Dodge notes it is the most affordable AWD V8 SUV currently available in the industry — a meaningful distinction for performance-minded buyers on a budget. The GT Plus AWD at $44,995 adds significant content upgrades, opening access to the available Blacktop Redline Package and the SafetyTec Plus Group. The GT Plus HEMI V8 AWD at $45,495 is the most popular configuration in the lineup, combining the HEMI V8 with the GT Plus content level for the best overall value. The GT Premium HEMI V8 AWD at $48,995 brings the most refined interior of the non-Hellcat trims, with Nappa leather seating, ventilated front seats, and an available Harman Kardon audio system. At the top of the performance ladder, the SRT Hellcat AWD at $79,995 and the SRT Hellcat Jailbreak AWD at $80,990 deliver the supercharged 710-horsepower V8 and everything that comes with it.

Engine Options & Performance

The 2026 Dodge Durango's powertrain story is one of the most straightforward and satisfying in the three-row SUV segment: you pick your level of V8 enthusiasm and Dodge delivers. The base 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 produces 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque — a solid foundation for daily driving and light towing — with available rear-wheel drive or AWD. The 5.7-liter HEMI V8 is the engine that defines the Durango's character for most buyers, producing 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque with the unmistakable sound signature of an American V8. With the available Tow 'n Go Package, the HEMI V8 Durango is rated to tow up to 8,700 pounds — the best-in-class figure for a three-row SUV. The SRT Hellcat takes everything further with the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 producing 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque, launching the Durango from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds. Six-piston Brembo brakes and a Bilstein Active-Damping high-performance suspension come standard on the SRT Hellcat to match the level of performance the engine delivers. All three engines are paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, and AWD is standard on all HEMI V8 and Hellcat models.

Towing & Capability

Best-in-class available towing capacity is one of the Durango's most important competitive advantages in the three-row SUV segment. With the available Tow 'n Go Package on GT HEMI V8 models — which adds a heavy-duty engine cooling system, a Class IV receiver hitch, and a seven- and four-pin wiring harness — the Durango is rated to tow up to 8,700 pounds. The SRT Hellcat also shares this 8,700-pound maximum rating. For families in and around Tunkhannock who need to tow a boat on Harveys Lake, a horse trailer through Wyoming County, or a camper to a Pennsylvania state park, this towing capacity gives the Durango a genuine practical advantage over most three-row competitors. The V6 GT is also no slouch, rated to tow up to 6,200 pounds with the Trailer Tow Group IV — more than enough for a mid-size travel trailer or large utility trailer. Payload capacity is rated at 1,500 pounds.

Interior

Inside the 2026 Durango, the cabin is built around three rows of seating and a practical, driver-focused layout. Every Durango seats seven passengers in a standard bench configuration, with available second-row captain's chairs on upper trims for a six-passenger layout with a more accessible third row. First and second rows are genuinely adult-friendly with strong legroom and upright seating positions that give good sightlines in all directions. The third row is best suited for children or shorter adults on longer trips, though it serves adequately for adults on shorter journeys. Cargo space is 17.2 cubic feet behind the third row, expanding to 43.3 cubic feet with the third row folded and a class-leading 85.1 cubic feet with both rear rows folded flat. Every Durango comes standard with a 10.1-inch Uconnect touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, a six-speaker Alpine audio system, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are standard on most trims. The GT Premium and SRT Hellcat trims elevate the interior significantly with Nappa leather seating with perforated inserts, heated and ventilated front seats, and an available 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system for buyers who want true hi-fi sound. The Blacktop Redline Package adds red interior stitching, contrast accents, and unique badging to the GT Plus and HEMI V8 Plus configurations for a more driver-focused aesthetic at a mid-tier price point.

Exterior

The 2026 Dodge Durango's exterior is unmistakably inspired by the Dodge Charger — the wide grille opening, bulging fenders, and aggressive stance communicate its performance intentions before the engine is ever started. At 201.2 inches long, 75.8 inches wide, and 70.9 inches tall, the Durango has a commanding road presence that suits its character. LED headlights are standard across the lineup, and the available 20-inch Hyper Black wheels on upper trims add to the muscular profile. The Blacktop Redline Package available for 2026 on select trims adds blacked-out exterior trim and unique badging for buyers who want to amplify the Durango's already assertive appearance. New for 2026, the B5 Blue exterior color — a shade with deep roots in Dodge's muscle car heritage — is available on multiple trims. The SRT Hellcat wears its own unique exterior treatment with wider hood vents, a Hellcat badge, and a front fascia that makes its performance credentials unmistakable. A power liftgate is standard on GT Plus and above, making cargo access convenient for everyday use.

The SRT Hellcat & Hellcat Jailbreak

No discussion of the 2026 Dodge Durango is complete without addressing its most extraordinary variant. The SRT Hellcat is the world's most powerful production three-row SUV — a 710-horsepower, supercharged muscle machine that also happens to have seating for seven and space for 30 carry-on suitcases with the seats folded. Starting at $79,995, the Hellcat comes standard with the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8, six-piston Brembo brakes, a Bilstein Active-Damping suspension, launch control, and a performance-calibrated AWD system that puts all 710 horsepower to the road with surprising effectiveness. The SRT Hellcat Jailbreak at $80,990 adds the $995 Jailbreak customization package, which unlocks over six million possible exterior and interior configurations — including unique paint options, wheel designs, stripe packages, seating finishes, and accent colors — making it the most personalized Durango ever offered. For Wyoming County buyers who want something genuinely unlike anything else on the road, the Hellcat is a singular automotive statement.

Safety Features

The 2026 Durango comes standard with electronic stability control, electronic roll mitigation, traction control, brake assist, a rearview camera, rain-sensing wipers, and automatic headlights across the lineup. Available advanced driver-assist technology includes forward collision warning with full stop, blind spot monitoring with rear cross-path detection, adaptive cruise control with full stop, lane departure warning with lane keeping assist, and ParkSense parallel and perpendicular park assist. These features are available through the SafetyTec Plus Group on GT Plus and above — a $995 package that is strongly recommended for family buyers. It is worth noting that the Durango's optional approach to advanced safety features is one area where it lags behind newer competitors that include these systems as standard equipment on base trims, so buyers prioritizing comprehensive standard safety coverage should plan for the SafetyTec Plus Group as part of their configuration.
