Dodge’s 707-hp Hellcat engine suggests that it thinks about power a little differently than most of its competitors. But using that engine in a 3-row crossover might have struck even hotfoot parents, not to mention anyone worried about mileage, as a little too much. So for 2018 the Dodge Durango welcomes a new SRT trim with a 475-hp V8 as well as standard Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and a reversing camera across the lineup. More athletic trims also get a new hood with vents.
The Durango offers three engines. A 3.6-liter V6 with 293 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque offers best-in-class towing at 6,200 pounds. The R/T gets a 5.7-liter V8 with 360 hp and 390 lb-ft that provides towing capacity of 7,400 pounds. And the SRT’s 6.4-liter V8 makes 475 hp and 470 lb-ft and offers 8,700 pounds of towing capacity, also best in class. All Durangos use an 8-speed automatic, and all trims except the SRT are available with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive; the SRT is available only with all-wheel drive.

That sweater should be illigal
* * Nah, too comfy.
Michael Perkins I enjoyed the review bro!
* * Glad to hear it!
Is it just me, or does this gentleman look like he'd be more at home in a Prius?
Chris Reibold Haha, yes he would.
Not a FCA fan but totally agree that this is by far the best 3 row vehicle in RT or SRT guise. RWD based and an amazing sounding engine. Great interior as well
Most badass SUV of America
Filmed in Daly City, lol I used to work there I recognize the backgrounds
I still love this crossover.
Forget your channel, I am going to Rich Rebuilds.
bye
Rich Rebuilds FTW! The real Car Guru.
too black for me
Damn
Naturally aspirated V8, RWD, and sounds fantastic. These are great characteristics to have. The exterior design however is really starting to look dated. IMO. It really hasn't changed in over 8 years. Can't wait to see something fresh and new from Dodge. Great review Mike!
You keep saying rear wheel drive, but wasn't the one you were driving all wheel drive? The little badge on the bottom left in the rear. . .
Dude your review put me to fucking sleep. Can you please wake up so we can wake up too
robfrmny21 I can't help that my voice is so soothing! Just let it take you awayyyyyy.
Hey guys, when you were rebuilding that flood damaged Tesla, did you notice if the shell looked the same for right hand drive? Your Car Guru right?
Mike Read Check out Rich's page under his new name "Rich Rebuilds".
Nah man, they're fakes.
MasterBata And all this time, I thought I was a real, live boy!
But you are! Enjoy the backlash.
MasterBata Oh, I am a real, live boy after all! Great! Seriously though - you realize I'm just an independent auto journalist who works with CarGurus, right? I have nothing to do with the actions of the legal team.
Cease and desist form the bullying
Great Review MP. I agree with you regarding the options cost. Also, the V8 should be available on at least the GT & Citadel models.
canonlybeme4life Citadel does get it at least, though I failed to mention it. But still, if you don't anything other than 7 seats and a V8, you shouldn't have to jump up to Citadel.
My SRT didnt come with leather wrapped dash but in the 19's it does. My 2nd row entertainment system is great but it comes with knock off headphones. Why it dont have aux cable plugs or Bluetooth capability for headphones for bluetooth ? Would be much better. My RT was a great ride i always had a combines 19.5 mpg driving 500miles every week i sometimes have up to 24 being from 6000 above sea level to 500 above. My SRT however gotta fill it up on my round trip back.
Looks good
Even with the option seems like a lot of car for the money. Would pass on the sunroof and leather dash though.
mfmf100 Never pass on a sunroof.
I love Durango bud.
The Citadel you can get v8 power with a more comfortable suspension.
717 flyer Sure can, but it'd be nice to be able to access the V8 without having to pay Citadel or R/T prices.
It would be nice if those reviewing cars would actually take the 5 minutes and know that you can get the hemi as an upgrade in the Citadel SMDH Fire this dipshit
When is the next Tesla rant video coming?
vdochev Rich posted one just yesterday over at his channel "Rich Rebuilds"!
Nah, he is called the Car Guru. I don't know where this channel came from where you guys added an S to the end. It seems you popped up overnight and are confusing poor Car Guru fans.
Definitely too many $1k upcharges for features that should be standard at this trim level. Especially considering how old the Durango is. Cool in concept, but a terrible value.
watch at 1.25x speed.
Would have been a good review if I could actually hear what he was saying
FAKE channel, go to Rich Rebuilds (formerly "CarGuru")
Anyone notice when Mike gets in the 2nd row his legs are jammed right into the back of the front driver seat that he had configured for himself? This is something everyone ignores in the Durango and Grand Cherokee, the 2nd row legroom isn’t great in these.
Riyad Kalla To be fair, I'm 6'4". No car has great 2nd-row leg room for me.
Michael Perkins ahh ok that’s a fair point. I’m 5’11” and wanted to find “glorious legroom” back there because of rear facing child seats and instead found adequate legroom (didn’t work for us, roughly the same as our Honda Pilot). I imagine the legroom requirements are about the same for a rear facing as they are for you (need lots of space). I am curious how you will like the additional room in the rear of the 2019 Ram 1500, suppose to be cavernous.
I'm 6'1" and I sit in the back with my baby and have lots of room in the second row.
@@MikeDPerkins you never been in a Towncar before i see.
Ayeee Mussel Rock! South SF!
Rich Rebuilds YT channel blows this AWAY.
Love your work bro will get rid of the beard
Next time, can you do this on a more dreary day?
Goodness Dodge needs to redesign all of their vehicles and Chrysler needs to redesign the 300 love the cars but all of them are on a old platform I still find it crazy for someone to buy a SRT Jeep Gran Cherokee and Dodge Durango their too heavy to have those engines.
Lavonte A But it still looks better than most!
I was fixated on this also until I got a 300, if you forget the age of the chassis it’s built on, it’s a big comfortable, powerful cruiser. I really enjoy mine. I had a Charger 392 that I thought was a big disappointment for how expensive it was (I paid $52k) and how loud it was, the engine didn’t make its pose until like 4K rpm which means you had to be driving like a psycho to enjoy the pull. I am super happy with the 5.7 in sport mode in the 300 and quieter exhaust.
Lavonte A disagree
Dude these things are tanks they roll over everything and keep going
انا من عشاق دوج درانكو
In two years it will be half that
Nope around 38k for a 2018 low mileage
It's all show no go
reviewing cars make you car gurus??? please. ... if anything "TalkGurus" is more fitting
sahsoon Follow me on IG and you can see me very slowly rebuild a '69 MGB GT.
Michael Perkins - Where's the electric motor?
zerix01 In the windshield wipers unit.
Lol well that won't move the car at all. Time to upgrade that 49 year old dinosaur.
zerix01 Probably nearly as powerful as the 1800cc engine!
Dodge the reason everybody's buying Japanese I love the Durango but they're asking too much for it I'll just get a Honda Pilot
You can get a citdradel with a V8
All this squabbling about legal issues is off-putting. WTH???
The rt doesn’t have direct injection some car guru , like trump would say WRONG!! Ya fired
robfrmny21 Direct injection ... cylinder deactivation ... same thing, right??
Michael Perkins only thing they have in common is they were created to save fuel, that’s about it
robfrmny21 It was a joke.
Ugly Sweater Day?
Tesla model S
Dodge Durango? Weren't there a lot more rebuilt Teslas on this channel before?

Wishful thinking
