Durango SRT also has 8700 pound towing capacity. Grand Cherokee SRT can "only" tow 7200. New for 2019 is integrated brake controller for the trailer. No longer is an aftermarket device needed. In Durango, the control is situated just to the right of the ignition switch.
You could tell from the video that the Jeep has a panoramic sunroof. Durango does not. Durango has longer wheelbase, so it would tend to ride smoother on pavement, but it can't match Jeep off-road because the Durango's wheelbase hurts attack and exit angles. This is why Durango is billed as "light off-road".
Durango also has closer-to-50/50 weight distribution for better cornering than Grand Cherokee. Jeep is a bit front-heavy. Ironically, the Jeep weighs just about the same as the Durango despite being smaller. On dry pavement, you can barely tell the difference. But wet pavement, you'll feel understeer with the Jeep. The Durango is neutral.
For 2019, Durango SRT did away with Beats and H-K is an option.
BTW - He keeps mentioning the Durango SRT as "7-seat". It only seats seven with the second row bench seat. Be careful when ordering. I believe the default for SRT Durango are the second row captain's chairs. When equipped with captain's chairs, Durango is six-seater. What counts are the number of belts. Only two belts in the third row of any Durango. So if you need to seat seven, be sure to check with your dealer about availability of the bench second row. If you get the bench second row, I think full leather becomes unavailable and you have to take suede inserts. Double-check with your dealer. I got conflicting information on this and that might be because Dodge made some changes recently, even since rolling out the 2019s.
Also for 2019, Durango offers a no-cost third-row elimination that gives you a few more cubic feet of storage under the deck. Deck height remains the same. But the cavity that holds the third row becomes available for stowage. It is split in half, left/right. This is for folks who'd normally remove the third row anyway. Durango is not a mini-van. The third row is not meant to be removed from the vehicle and re-installed by the customer. It requires tools. You can do it, if you're handy. But it's not "convenient". So they make the no-third-row option available from the factory.
Despite being an FCA dealer, I find this fellow to be remarkably candid and honest about the products, even their drawbacks. I have zero idea of how he negotiates a deal. That's not what I'm saying. All I'm saying is that he strikes me as one (of few) salesfolks who would not overrepresent what his vehicles can do.
Minor correction: Integrated trailer brake controller is situated BELOW the ignition switch on Durango. I had meant to say it was located to the right of the steering wheel.
Do u know which one would be better on plot holes and bad city roads? i mean u would feel less of the bumpy ride and rattling
If you are moving from a smaller vehicle to the Durango or Grand Cherokee (or just about any of the larger SUVs) you'll be very pleased with how the large diameter tires cross over potholes.
That said, the SRT versions of Durango and Grand Cherokee have very stiff sport suspensions for high speed handling. These suspensions are not ideal for rough city streets where winter chews up the asphalt.
But if you want a Durango or Grand Cherokee and don't need the high performance SRT versions, then buying a Durango or Grand Cherokee in a less-expensive trim actually helps you with a softer ride because of the comfort-tuned suspensions, plus the use of 18-inch alloy wheels instead of 20-inch wheels. The tire diameter is the same. But the smaller wheels means that there is more rubber to absorb the punishment of the pavement.
Of the two, the Durango would offer a slightly better ride because of its longer wheelbase than Grand Cherokee.
Keep in mind that (with just about any new SUV) the car will ride more stiffly for the first 2000-3000 miles. You won't get optimum comfort until the car's suspension is "broken in".
TheCondoInRedondo thanks for the in depth response ... have you tried this current gen or last gen yukon denalis or escalades? (The regular ones not the xl) If so how do they hold up in terms of plot holes / ride quality? I live in an area with terrible roads and speed bumps
Those are completely different beasts. Grand Cherokee, Durango, Ford Explorer, Chevy Traverse are all unibody construction. You will feel potholes more in any unibody style vehicle.
The Yukon, Escalade, Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator are all body-on-frame vehicles. That means they're built upon truck suspensions with the body isolated from the undercarriage. That definitely helps dampen the potholes. Now, they're also much heavier vehicles. But they are also roomier inside (wider) than the unibody SUVs I listed at the beginning of this post.
Those body-on-frame vehicles are not as much fun to drive because they drive more like trucks than sports sedans. But they are more rugged than the unibody types. The Expedition and Navigator (in my opinion) are much better built than Yukon or Escalade. If you're on a budget, give the Expedition a test drive. It's not as expensive as the Navigator. But they're built upon the same platform, just like the Yukon and Escalade share the same platform. The problem with Yukon and Escalade is that their platform is quite old now.
There is one other point to keep in mind. Durango, Grand Cherokee, Explorer and Traverse will be easier to park in tight spaces than Yukon, Escalade, Expedition or Navigator. The first four models are not just narrower, they're also shorter.
Jeep will be introducing the Wagoneer soon. That will be body-on-frame, intended to compete against Yukon, Escalade, Navigator and Expedition.
I just went through the buying process between these 2. I ultimately went with the Durango SRT and I’m far from disappointed. Looks, sounds and feels waaayy more aggressive. The driving experience alone is way better in the Durango. The Jeep is fancier but it’s too subdued. Feels like it’s being held back power wise. The interior of the Durango is superb if you get the premium interior option and leather seats. I’m glad I went with the Durango. I’m a prior Jeep SRT owner as well.
That's funny, I totally agree with you! I've had multiple jeep grand cherokee SRT 's and one trackhawk. I traded them both in for a durango hellcat and I still love the jeep, but the durango is very impressive for a 3 row suv! Not disappointed at all by my purchase.
I really like both. Wouldn't know which one to choose. I guess whichever one had the better discount.
Florida Maddogg Cherokee is faster and better.
Barack Obama 100 subs with no video Cherokee is definitely more luxurious.
@@nick__cars i thought i herd the Durango is only 6 pounds more then jeep and a little faster.
All that SALT dripping off a brand new car literally breaks my heart.
Trump would say: "fake salt" ;D
tRUMP would say : WROOONG !!!!!!!!!
I would pick the Durango as I need to hall 6 and pull a trailer. I love the sound. I like how the Durango has shuttle changes as I don’t need to show off unless I have my foot down. I hope you can get the H/K system instead as I am not a fan of the beats stereo. However saying that the 2019 Dodge Ram looks so good.
I like them both.
i prefer the looks of the jeep more and it does hold its value more cause its a jeep. the durango seems doing fine and is much easier to get below msrp while the jeep seldom go below msrp unlike dodge.
i want the durango srt so bad!
Yeah I think that Durango looks better than the Jeep myself, and will be releasing a hellcat version next year finally 💪🏼😎
Krazy SRT8 are you for real ?
@@danielbarboza5808 yeah I am, but which part of my comment are you referring to. That I like the durango better, or they're building one with supercharged 6.2 ?
@@danielbarboza5808 Durango is better if you have family because it has 7 seats, but if you want it for yourself and like speed, I’d recommend the Jeep Grand Cherokee
I am looking for the Jeep with that hood but the Durango sounds much better. We love the Jeep!
It's not just the knob that they changed, it's a different transmission and is the torqueflite 8-speed auto they started making a few years ago
Jeep srt8 is the stop light racing king. Not to mention a a super dope ride. Killin that Durango.
This two cars looks great to me, I Wish I could have any of them. Nice video 😎
392 is not a "dodge" thing, its a mopar thing, and mopar owns both. Also, the flat bottom steering wheel is available on the jeeps too. Afterall, the durango srt was built 100% based on the gc srt just a bit bigger and heavier
I just subscribed and I’m looking to get the Durango
Jeep all the way. Durango looks sick, however they need to update the rear end of the Ds. Fierce looking ride and then looks like mini van from the back
I loooove my 5.7 HEMI Durango . Some people even like the V6. But yeah SRT is incredible.
I’m getting one of these next year and it’s hard for me to choose which one i really want😫 i go back and forth. Don’t need 7 seats but i would love having that extra room
Get both I personally love the sound system & blue dash lights in the SRT Jeep but I want those key features put on the SRT Durango Then I would be a happy camper Damn you Dodge & Jeep
I think I'll go with the Jeep
Durango's growl is nastier. I like the aesthetics of the Jeep by far!
Seen a 392 just like this one drive by the other day! I wouldn’t of even known it was a 392! If i didn’t look & see it quietly passing by! I was like damn that’s one quiet ass 392! 😂😂😂😂😂
I need to trade in my Cayenne Deisel for one of these.
Nice rides don't know but did like the Jeep but we got my son a 98 durango 318 it is a tank well built steal going strong what's the price difference between them
I'll take the Jeep simply because of it's more refined exterior & interior appearance, plus unlike the Durango, the Grand Cherokee SRT doesn't share SRT specific exterior pieces with lower trim Grand Cherokee's .
Grand Cherokee srt hands down!......I previously owned one , awesome vehicle
And what happened to it
Had the srt for about 6 mths had to sell as I was moving back to New Zealand to start new business, shame as I’ve never driven 2.5 ton vehicle that could handle that well, its impressive!
According to the sites the towing capacity for the Jeep is 7200. The Durango is 8700. And that Durango sound though.
If they only put the Durango hood on the Jeep SRT in a few more badging
They look sooo similar
The Durango looks more like a beast. But the Cherokee has the sun roof 🤦🏽♂️
I would say the Jeep higher quality build every Durango I seen rust out at the wheel wells just like Dodge trucks have yet seen a Jeep do that. I have owned quite a few Jeep Grand Cherokee's and have to say none of them rusted out maybe a little bit on the lip in front of hood. Durango looks damn good real tempting. Getting to be hard choice.
Jeep SRT in burgondy red please
now only if Dodge would listen and give the Panoramic sunroof like the jeep. Also give an option for 3 seats in the second room. Captain chairs are nice but if a family is purchasing this type of SUV. They need all the extra seating as possible.
Captain chairs are an option, it's standard with the regular row.
Those 392 duuuur Ango’s! Are quiet as hell! 🤷🏽♂️😂😂😂😂😂
👍👍👍
Durango all day 😍
Jeep srt for me
Idk why I'm watching this because at the end of the day I'm gona but the durango..
oh and I'm only 15 so I got a long way to go lol 😂😂🤣
Did you compare the Headlights? Are the Durango LED? And just as bright as the Jeep?
I got scared by a Durango srt a while ago, that shit was loud af
Could have been modified. Lots are
2 years later and the durango holds more value than the jeep
And like that... you nailed it. Lol. The Durango is much better sad to say but hey
Do a muffler delete on the Jeep and it will sound the same
I did a mid muffler delete and had a x pipe installed in my 2016 srt Jeep and it sounds exactly like the Durango
Can't even get the pano roof on the Durango...and it looks like a minivan--it loses right there.
I would definitely go with the Jeep Grand Cherokee simply because it just looks tougher and meaner. The Durango’s body looks to long
I’m going with the jeep don’t need 7 seats but can I get the jeep with red leather interior
Only in the red viper edition 2015
Tesla Model X P100D is probably the fastest 7 seater (Option)
They have no difference with each other but if I buy 1 of them ima go for jeep just for the headlight washer but for others is noo difference
Durango i need 7 seater
Durango sounds 500% better
The Grand Cherokee looks 300% better
Can you control the rear climate from the front UConnect screen? I ask because with kids they would never be able to reach the ceiling to adjust rear climate and it’s hard for the driver to do while traveling.
Yes
Dere jih stipe legenda
The Grand Cherokee and the Durango are the same base chassis. The durango is just stretched. Most chassis amd mechanical parts are the same.
Not even close
Durango
Durango srt for family guy like me its awesome.....the Cherokee srt ...a guy but with no family
The SRT Durango only comes in 6 seater. If you want 7 you have to get the RT or below models. I don’t get why you can’t option 7 seats in the SRT Durango.
Helps performance ig idk🤷🏽♂️
Definitely, I would go with the Durango SRT cuz it looks and sounds better!!!! Thinking of trading my 2018 Charger Daytona 5.7L in Octane Red w/7500km ....mmmmm just wondering how much I would get on a trade on a 2018 Dodge Durango SRT 392....something to think about :)
JoReitano, I traded in my 2004 Corvette along with my 2017 R/T Durango for the 2018 SRT Durango. Totally worth it my friend. Almost have 2000 miles on it now and having a blast with it. Just saying...🤪
Is there any video of this two racing?
Yeah the Durango won
The grand Cherokee was a trackhawk
Jeep is way better looking
Hey nice video... I also made one on the 2018 trackhawk check it out!
SRT is being phased out of the Jeep brand with the exception of the Hell Cat motor in the Teackhawk with the token SRT/Hell Cat plaque on the motor under the hood. The suits in Detroit at Dodge want SRT to be a Dodge brand only. It will be interesting what Jeep does for the non Hell Cat "Track Hawks" for 2019.
Bad info bro lol when the jeep srt is the highest selling srt vehicle
Daxman Naw bro he right Only dodge will say SRT on them. Jeep brand will still use the same SRT moters but they won't advertise SRT on badge they will say Trackhawk or Hellcat... We all know the Cherokee SRT sales the most that wasn't his point.
@@daxman2617 Their just changing the name. SRT will be called Trackhawk and the OG TH will be called Trackhawk Supercharged. Kind of going for the Land Rover style of naming.
Just dont like that overgrown rear on the durango. Gives it a minivan feel and look ..... jeep all day
Ahh the Jeep is so sexy
The Durango stock exhaust is sooo much better
The Durango got more space and the same price
When it comes to the end the Durango wins as in value but the Jeep is just so sexy... idk logically Durango feelings Jeep
You need just a touch more Tom Horntons. Just a tiny bit more energywerds. Not too much not spun out just more enthusiasm.
Forgive me.
"pretty much the same, although they are a little bit different."
The Durango sounds so much beefier and personally I like its style more as well I just wish they both weren't so heavy lol
Durango.. obviously
These cars are the same inside jus the amount of seats but the rest is the same
That 392 badge looks out of place
Anthony Hughes yea i would personally take it off
I agreeeeeeee
I like it its like the charger or challenger
I got an R/T Durango with the 5.7 hemi
Love it
Wouldn't and didn't even consider a jeep at the time of purchase
It's not on the Durango's level.
Jeep SRT is better vehicle, despite the exhaust notes and the fact I like Durango more. But Dodge is nicer brand because of all those muscle cars. So I would go with a Charger Hellcat, because don't need to go offroad
Highway Cruiser more room in the Durango. A tad more luxury in the jeep. Built on the same platform.
HC, that's exactly what i did! had a cherokee srt for 3 years, traded it in for the charger hellcat. and i don't go offroad at all either. and i have absolutely no regrets!
That's a weird reason, because these aren't made for offroad, their street and track machines. So is the Trackhawk.
I'm getting the grand cherokee " 9 weeks"
What trim
@@bruhbruh112 I want the hemi v8.."
Who cares obout music sound system.....we just need engine sound
fares Rock I have an SRT Jeep and walked off on an SRT Durango pulled him by about 3 cars
Probably he don’t know how to drive bro
@@shesoEk my man
@@juanvelazquez2381 🤦♂️
fares Rock and
JEEP
The Jeep wins
Durango > jeep
why the shape looks almost the same
if I hit like and subscribe do I get a Durango for give away
7 seater Durango all the way. I have too many children. 😂
Durango wins
Jeep because it’s faster
Its not faster both are similar 0-60
The dodge is slightly faster at 4.2
Vs 4.4 top speed is the same. But hell yeah the dodge looks so much meaner an aggressive. And it sounds better and it has 2 more seats so???? Durango SRT 💪
@@Fall-off-currencies I'm with you💪3💪9💪2
Its the same car
@@Fall-off-currencies dodge is not faster. Same engine, same driveline, but the Durango is bigger and weighs 400 pounds more. You do the math
@@Fall-off-currencies You almost got it correct. The dodge is actually slightly slower than the jeep it does 0-60mph in 4.6 seconds. If you want school bus get a Durando SRT, otherwise the jeep is the better choice. Most people would agree that the Jeep looks much better too.
There all the same bv dodge owns jeep
*They're not the same, take each for a test drive and you would find out first hand. P.S. Hooked on phonics can help.
FCA own both though
Still take my 07 TBSS over that Heavy Shit!
Durango SRT. Does Not come 7 seater. Gimmick just like it's fake carbon fiber door panel inserts.
Are you constipated? You sound like you are under force
😂
Seriously!!! DODGE💪💪💪.
Grand cherokee for old people.
For rich people 😀
shouldve cleaned the whips before the video disliking the video and not watching it all the way
