What Is the 2020 Dodge Durango?
The Dodge Durango delivers muscle car power and feel in a large, three-row SUV. Available with rear- or all-wheel drive, the Durango competes with the Chevrolet Traverse, Ford Explorer and Honda Pilot. With seating for up to seven people, the Durango has a standard 293-horsepower, 3.6-liter V-6 engine. Two optional V-8 engines are offered: a 360-hp, 5.7-liter V-8 and a 475-hp, 6.4-liter V-8 that goes in the SRT version. All engines work with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

What Features in the 2020 Dodge Durango Are Most Important?
Seating options are aplenty in the Durango, from a second-row bench seat or captain’s chairs to an available third row. Dodge’s easy-to-use and responsive Uconnect multimedia system includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity. A 7-inch touchscreen is standard, but a larger 8.4-inch touchscreen is optional. Looking to entertain rear-seat passengers? Opt for the dual-screen entertainment system. The available V-8 engines do offer more towing capability, but you shouldn’t rule out the standard V-6 as it can tow up to 6,200 pounds when properly equipped. Forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert and lane departure warning cost extra.
2020 Dodge Durango Vs. 2020 Chevrolet Traverse: How Do They Compare?
Both full-size SUVs have up to three rows of seats, but while the Durango can seat up to seven, the Traverse’s maximum seating capacity is eight. The Durango uses a rear-drive-based platform to the Traverse’s front-drive-based design, but both SUVs offer all-wheel drive. Performance fans will find more to like in the Durango with its available V-8 engines, while the spacious Traverse has room for the family and their stuff.
Should I Buy the 2020 Dodge Durango?
With its rear-drive platform, bold truck-inspired styling, high-performance V-8 engine offerings and towing capability, the Durango doesn’t follow the typical three-row SUV template. If that’s what you want, no other mainstream large SUV matches it.
