The 2021 Dodge Durango oozes machismo, has an unbeatable towing capacity for its class, and gives drivers a good time with its aggressive acceleration capability and V-8 engine option. In the world of mid-size SUVs, the 2021 Dodge Durango brings muscle to the table. The Durango is perhaps the most favorable choice in its class for those who want to take on towing tasks, especially when equipped with the available Hemi V-8 engine.
However, the 2021 Durango is more than its aggressive acceleration. In fact, it can seat the entire family, thanks to the optional third row of seats. Those up front get treated to the Durango’s comfortable seating and an intuitive infotainment system. Drivers can even go with the option of a 10.1-inch infotainment system with an updated version of the Uconnect interface.
The Dodge brand understands the importance of high-quality materials and overall comfort, which is why it is integrated into several aspects of its design. For one, those who opt in for the larger infotainment display will also receive a wireless smartphone charging pad bundled with it. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard with both screens. Drivers can also select a rear-seat entertainment system, which provides even more room for connection via HDMI and RCA ports and dual screens. This deluxe design also entails a thick, leather wrapped rim with a metal-look trim to deliver a handsome steering wheel. The 2021 Durango has even found the perfect audio balance between great Bluetooth audio quality and the sonorous rumble of the V-8’s engine.
The standard 295-hp V-6 engine and eight-speed automatic transmission are highly efficient together, while the optional 360-hp V-8 engine can tow up to 8,700 pounds, providing a significant boost in capacity for those who need it. With the V-6 engine, drivers will feel the Dodge’s suspension walking the fine line between sport and comfort, as it boasts a 7.4-second zero-to-60-mph. Meanwhile, the V-8 did it in 6.2 seconds, consistently topping the charts.
With one of the best infotainment systems on the market and top choices in its class for towing tasks, the new and refreshed 2021 Dodge Durango is a great pick for those who are ready to get the job done and have a good time doing it.
