Glenn Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram
The 2027 Durango offers four engine options, each suited to a different buyer profile and use case. Choosing the right powertrain is the most consequential decision in the configuration process, so each option deserves its own treatment before you start comparing trim prices.
| Horsepower | 295 hp |
| Torque | 260 lb-ft |
| 0-60 MPH | 7.4 seconds |
| Towing Capacity | Up to 6,200 lbs, best-in-class for a V6 |
| Standard On | GT and GT Plus |
The 3.6L Pentastar V6 is the standard engine on the GT and GT Plus trims and the most fuel-efficient option in the Durango lineup. It’s best suited to buyers who prioritize daily commuting, school runs, and highway travel over heavy towing or track-day performance. Its 6,200-pound towing capacity is sufficient for a modest boat or utility trailer, but well short of the 8,700-pound maximum the HEMI V8 configurations can reach with the Tow ‘n Go Package.
Best for: daily drivers and commuters who don’t need heavy towing capability.
| Horsepower | 360 hp |
| Torque | 390 lb-ft |
| 0-60 MPH | 6.2 seconds |
| Towing Capacity | 7,200 lbs standard; up to 8,700 lbs with the Tow ‘n Go Package |
| Standard On | GT HEMI V8 |
The 5.7L HEMI V8 steps into GT HEMI V8 trim territory and is the powertrain we see most buyers gravitate toward when they want V8 character without moving into the performance-tier pricing of the 392 or Hellcat. It delivers the classic HEMI sound and feel, meaningfully stronger torque than the V6, and, when paired with the Tow ‘n Go Package, best-in-class towing of 8,700 pounds. For Crestwood-area families who tow regularly, this is frequently the sweet spot in the lineup.
Best for: buyers who want genuine V8 character and towing flexibility without stepping up to a performance trim.
| Horsepower | 475 hp |
| Torque | 470 lb-ft |
| 0-60 MPH | 4.4 seconds |
| Towing Capacity | Up to 8,700 lbs, best-in-class |
| Exclusive To | R/T 392 |
The 6.4L HEMI V8 is exclusive to the R/T 392 trim and produces 475 horsepower, according to Dodge’s official specifications. That output changes what the Durango is: the R/T 392 is no longer purely a family hauler, it’s a performance SUV that happens to seat seven. Buyers who want a vehicle that genuinely accelerates with authority on highway on-ramps and still handles a weekend boat launch will find the 6.4L the most versatile option in the lineup from a performance-per-dollar standpoint.
Best for: buyers who want genuine performance and still need best-in-class towing capacity.
| Horsepower | 710 hp |
| Torque | 645 lb-ft |
| 0-60 MPH | 3.5 seconds |
| Towing Capacity | Up to 8,700 lbs, best-in-class |
| Exclusive To | SRT Hellcat and SRT Hellcat Jailbreak |
The supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 is reserved for the SRT Hellcat and SRT Hellcat Jailbreak and delivers 710 maximum horsepower, making it the most powerful gas-engine SUV on the road. This is the powertrain that makes the Durango class-exclusive, since no other three-row SUV at any price point offers a supercharged V8. It also matches the 392’s best-in-class towing of 8,700 pounds, which means the SRT Hellcat is simultaneously the fastest and among the most capable haulers in the entire family SUV segment. It’s the right answer for buyers who want no compromises and have the budget to match.
Best for: buyers who want the most powerful gas-engine SUV on the road and refuse to compromise on capability.
The Durango occupies a category position that no crossover can replicate, and understanding what that means in practical terms is worth addressing before reviewing trim levels and pricing.
Platform advantage
Architecture
The Durango rides on a body-on-frame platform, the same architecture used in proper trucks. Every competing three-row SUV at this price, including the Ford Explorer and Toyota Highlander, uses a unibody crossover platform.
Towing ceiling
The Durango’s available 8,700-lb towing capacity is a direct result of that platform. The Explorer maxes out at 5,600 lbs and the Highlander at 5,000 lbs when properly equipped.
Engine range
Four V8 options span from the standard HEMI to the 710-horsepower SRT Hellcat, a lineup range no competitor offers under one nameplate at comparable price points.
Real-world towing
Durango GT or R/T
8,700 lbs
Ford Explorer
5,600 lbs
Toyota Highlander
5,000 lbs
For buyers around Crestwood, La Grange, or the broader Louisville metro who own a boat, a camper, or a horse trailer, the difference between 5,000 and 8,700 pounds is not academic. The GT HEMI V8 with Tow ‘n Go and the R/T 392 both reach the 8,700-pound figure, meaning a buyer does not need SRT Hellcat pricing to get best-in-class towing performance.
The side profile shows off the Durango’s long wheelbase and muscular stance.
From the rear, the full-width taillight bar reinforces the Durango’s wide, planted look.
Up front, the bold grille and crosshair badge keep the Durango’s aggressive Dodge identity front and center.
The cargo area shows how much room is available for gear, groceries, or a full weekend’s worth of luggage.
The three-row seating configuration keeps the cabin flexible for both passengers and cargo.
A closer look at the console and gear shift lever highlights the driver-focused cabin layout.
The 2027 Durango spans ten trim levels from the GT base through the SRT Hellcat Jailbreak. What follows is a clear breakdown of each, in order from entry to flagship, with pricing drawn from Dodge’s official MSRP listings.
| MSRP | $38,995 |

| Standard | 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, three-row seating, fundamental Durango interior and exterior design package |

The GT is the entry point to the 2027 Durango lineup. It’s the right configuration for buyers who want Durango capability and styling without the cost premium of V8 power, particularly for household use where towing is not a primary need.
Best for: buyers who want Durango styling and capability at the lowest cost of entry.
| Engine | 3.6L Pentastar V6, 295 hp |
| Adds Over GT | Upgraded interior materials, additional driver convenience technology |
The GT Plus builds on the GT with additional comfort and convenience features, still carrying the 3.6L V6 as its standard engine. Buyers who want a more complete feature set without moving to a HEMI powertrain will find that the GT Plus represents good value within the V6 tier, and it serves as a natural step up for buyers who want a more refined daily-use Durango at a price point below the GT HEMI.
Best for: buyers who want a more refined V6 Durango without paying for a HEMI powertrain.
| MSRP | $43,875 |
| Engine | 5.7L HEMI V8, 360 hp |
| Available | Tow ‘n Go Package for best-in-class 8,700-lb towing; new-for-2027 Brass Monkey appearance package |
The GT HEMI V8 is where the lineup changes character, bringing V8 power and the option to add the Tow ‘n Go Package for best-in-class towing. For families in the Oldham County area who need a vehicle that handles daily driving and weekend towing without stepping into R/T 392 pricing, the GT HEMI V8 with Tow ‘n Go is the most practical configuration in the lineup.
Best for: families who need real towing capability without R/T 392 pricing.
| MSRP | $48,070 |
| Engine | 5.7L HEMI V8, 360 hp |
| Available | Blacktop Redline and Brass Monkey appearance packages |
The GT HEMI V8 Plus adds premium features over the base GT HEMI V8 and is one of the trims where the Blacktop Redline and Brass Monkey appearance packages become available. It’s targeted at buyers who want full HEMI V8 capability with a more refined and personalized exterior presentation, typically including upgraded seating materials, expanded driver assistance features, and a more complete technology package than the base HEMI trim.
Best for: buyers who want HEMI V8 power with a more personalized appearance package.
| MSRP | $50,475 |
| Engine | 5.7L HEMI V8, 360 hp |
| Positioning | Most complete feature set available on a 5.7L HEMI-powered Durango |
The GT HEMI V8 Premium represents the top of the GT family tier, delivering premium interior appointments and the full range of available appearance options in the GT family. Buyers who want an upscale experience from the 5.7L HEMI without moving to the 6.4L R/T 392 will find this the best-equipped option before the trim structure shifts to performance pricing.
Best for: buyers who want the most upscale 5.7L HEMI Durango available.
| MSRP | $51,745 |
| Engine | 6.4L HEMI V8, 475 hp |
| New for 2027 | Access to the Blacktop Redline appearance package for the first time |
| Suspension | Sport-tuned, with performance-specific exterior styling |
The R/T 392 marks the clear boundary between the Durango’s family hauler tier and its performance identity. This is the trim for buyers who want the most performance-focused Durango without entering SRT Hellcat pricing territory.
Best for: buyers who want genuine performance without Hellcat-level pricing.
| MSRP | $55,645 |
| Engine | 6.4L HEMI V8, 475 hp |
| New for 2027 | Premium Nappa leather seating, heated and ventilated seats, power sunroof, upgraded interior materials, additional convenience features |
The R/T 392 Plus adds a richer feature set to the 6.4L HEMI platform. It serves buyers who want the full R/T 392 performance experience with a more premium cabin presentation, and it’s frequently the R/T 392 trim our customers end up choosing once they compare the feature delta against the base R/T 392.
Best for: buyers who want R/T 392 performance with a genuinely premium cabin.
| MSRP | $58,345 |
| Engine | 6.4L HEMI V8, 475 hp |
| Towing Capacity | Up to 8,700 lbs |
| Positioning | Most fully equipped 6.4L HEMI Durango in the lineup |
The R/T 392 Premium adds the premium interior, expanded safety and convenience technology, and the highest level of standard content available within the R/T 392 family. For buyers who want 475 horsepower, 8,700-pound towing, and a near-fully loaded configuration, it’s the practical ceiling before the jump to Hellcat pricing.
Best for: buyers who want a near-fully loaded R/T 392 without Hellcat pricing.
| MSRP | $81,495 |
| Engine | Supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8, 710 hp |
| Standard | Performance Brembo brakes, SRT-tuned adaptive damping suspension |
| Towing Capacity | Up to 8,700 lbs, best-in-class |
The SRT Hellcat brings 710 maximum horsepower and a cabin calibrated for performance use without sacrificing passenger capacity. It’s the trim that makes the Durango unique in the entire SUV segment: no competitor offers supercharged V8 power, three-row seating, and 8,700 pounds of towing in a single package at any price.

| MSRP | $82,490 |
| Premium Over Hellcat | $995 |

| Personalization | Over 14 million configuration combinations across exterior paint, fender badges, seat colors, and more |
The SRT Hellcat Jailbreak adds the Jailbreak personalization program for $995 above the base Hellcat price, unlocking millions of configuration combinations, all backed by the factory. For buyers who want a one-of-a-kind Durango built to their exact specifications with full manufacturer support, the Jailbreak is the only vehicle in the family SUV segment that offers anything remotely comparable.
Best for: buyers who want a Hellcat built to their own exact specifications.
Understanding which Durango is right for you comes down to three decisions: engine, towing needs, and feature priority. Before you visit Glenn CDJR or configure online, these are the questions worth resolving first.
Towing requirement
Confirm your actual towing number first. If you tow a boat or camper that exceeds 6,200 pounds, the V6 is eliminated and you are choosing between the GT HEMI V8 with Tow ‘n Go and the R/T 392 or above.
Towing vs. performance
Decide whether you need towing capability or performance in the same vehicle. The GT HEMI V8 Plus or Premium with Tow ‘n Go hits the 8,700-pound ceiling at a lower price than the R/T 392. If towing is the priority and 475 horsepower is not the goal, the GT HEMI V8 with Tow ‘n Go is the better value equation.
Appearance packages
Consider the appearance packages before finalizing your trim. Blacktop Redline on an R/T 392 and Brass Monkey on a GT HEMI look substantially different from base exterior configurations, and those packages can influence which trim actually satisfies you long-term.
Choosing the right dealership for a purchase in this price range matters as much as choosing the right trim. Glenn CDJR at 6424 KY-146 in Crestwood is a franchised Dodge dealer, which means our team works with this vehicle every week, not occasionally. We are not a high-volume metro lot cycling through units. We know the Durango lineup in detail and can walk you through the Tow ‘n Go Package, the Jailbreak personalization options, and the trim-by-trim feature differences without needing to look them up.
Glenn CDJR works with a broad network of lenders to find competitive rates across a range of credit profiles, whether you have excellent credit, are financing a vehicle for the first time, or are rebuilding. The finance process starts online if you prefer it that way.
Current manufacturer offer
Dodge currently lists a 5.95% APR for 72 months offer on the 2027 Durango, expiring September 30, 2026. Specific rates and terms require qualification and are subject to change.
Start the conversation online
Our finance center team can walk you through current Dodge incentives, confirm what you qualify for, and structure a payment plan that reflects your actual situation rather than a best-case scenario. Starting before you visit means less time at the desk.
Lease options
Check our current lease specials for available Dodge lease programs on the Durango. These change periodically and are worth reviewing before your visit to understand all available structures.
The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Jailbreak is a factory personalization program available on the SRT Hellcat for $995 above the base Hellcat MSRP of $81,495, bringing the Jailbreak starting price to $82,490. For that $995, buyers unlock over 14 million personalization combinations covering exterior paint, fender badges, seat colors, and more, all backed by Dodge’s factory warranty.
The 2027 Dodge Durango can tow up to 8,700 pounds when properly equipped, which Dodge rates as the best-in-class available towing capacity. That maximum figure is available on SRT Hellcat models, R/T 392 models, and GT HEMI V8 models equipped with the Tow ‘n Go Package. Durango GT models with the standard 3.6L V6 are rated at up to 6,200 pounds of towing.
Glenn CDJR carries Dodge Durango inventory at our Crestwood location at 6424 KY-146, just 20 minutes from downtown Louisville. Specific trim and configuration availability changes regularly, so the most accurate way to confirm current stock is to browse inventory online or call our sales team directly at 502-890-9913. If a specific trim or option combination is not currently on the lot, we can discuss factory ordering or locating the vehicle through our dealer network. Our team can also confirm current Dodge incentives and any available manufacturer offers at the time of your inquiry.
For most families, the GT HEMI V8 or R/T hits the right balance of power, standard features, and price. The GT with the optional 5.7L HEMI V8 adds meaningful towing capacity and performance without the premium of the SRT trims, and it unlocks the Tow ‘n Go Package for buyers who occasionally haul a boat or trailer. The R/T steps up the sport aesthetic and interior content for families who want a more finished cabin. The SRT 392 and SRT Hellcat are genuinely capable, but most family buyers find the R/T covers their needs at a more accessible price point. Our team can walk you through a side-by-side comparison based on how you actually plan to use the vehicle.
Yes, the Durango comes standard with a third row and seats up to seven passengers. The third row is more usable than what you find in most three-row crossovers at this price point, with enough room for adults on shorter trips and comfortable space for children on longer drives. Access to the third row is straightforward, and the cargo area behind it is functional for everyday use. Families who regularly need to seat six or seven people will find the Durango a more practical solution than a two-row SUV with a fold-flat option. If third-row usability is a deciding factor for you, we recommend sitting in the vehicle in person to judge the fit for your family.
Yes, and trading in your current vehicle is one of the most straightforward ways to reduce the amount you need to finance on a new Durango. You can use our online trade-in tool to get a starting estimate before your visit, which gives you a market-based number to bring into the conversation. If you still have an outstanding loan on your current SUV, our finance team handles the payoff coordination with your lender and factors your equity position into the deal structure. The trade conversation and the new vehicle pricing are both transparent from the start, so you see exactly how the numbers connect before anything is signed.
The 2027 Dodge Durango delivers something no other three-row SUV does at any price point: genuine supercharged V8 performance, best-in-class 8,700-pound towing, and more factory personalization options than the segment has ever seen. Whether the right configuration for you is a GT HEMI V8 with Tow ‘n Go for weekend hauling or an SRT Hellcat Jailbreak built exactly to your specification, the 2027 lineup has a trim that fits.
Our team knows this vehicle in depth, and we can confirm trim availability, walk you through current Dodge manufacturer incentives, and get your financing started before you make the drive to KY-146.
