Which Durango does Edmunds recommend?
The R/T doesn't come cheap, but it's the specification that really lets the Durango flex its muscles. With standard V8 power, a 7,400-pound towing capacity and a sporty stance, the R/T is family-friendly transportation with attitude. Go with any number of the interesting paint colors, such as F8 Green, In-Violet or Reactor Blue to shake up the school run.
Full Edmunds Review: 2019 Dodge Durango SUV
Driving
The 3.6-liter V6 can seem a bit taxed in such a large vehicle, but a smart transmission helps get the most out of it both at our test track and in the real world. The Durango's other dynamic attributes, for better and worse, are more trucklike relative to its crossover competitors.
Comfort
Families who spend a lot of time in the car would be wise to consider the road-trip-ready Durango. We were impressed during highway testing, which showed a quiet, comfortable vehicle with supportive seats.
Interior
Some competitors may offer seat belts for eight, but that's really a token provision. In reality, the Durango presents more useful passenger space, a less confining view out, and an easier means of getting inside. Dodge's user-friendly tech interface is another benefit.
Utility
With maximum cargo space that matches that of all but the largest SUVs, a useful fold-flat front passenger seat, and the highest tow ratings among its rivals, the Durango is exceptionally well-rounded when it comes to overall utility.
Technology
A choice of two large touchscreen displays, fast software processing, standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and available accident avoidance tech features make the Durango one of the most tech-connected crossovers in any class.
