Dodge Durango Gt Plus Blacktop V6 AWD *ARRIVAGE AOUT*2026 Dodge Durango GT Plus AWD, a Three-Row SUV With Muscle, a Blacked-Out Attitude and Best-in-Class V6 Towing
The 2026 Dodge Durango GT Plus AWD refuses to blend in with the crowd of three-row crossovers. Finished in Vapour Grey and dressed up with the Blacktop Package, it wears Dodge's muscular DNA with pride: bold presence, a confident drive, and a best-in-class V6 towing rating of 6,200 lb (2,812 kg). This is the hauler for the family that wants room for up to seven, the muscle to pull a trailer, and enough attitude to turn heads on the highway.
Engine and Driving Experience
At the heart of this Durango GT Plus is the proven 3.6L Pentastar V6, producing 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, it delivers crisp acceleration and a smooth response without the fuel bill of a V8. An automatic engine stop-start system shuts the engine off at stops to trim city consumption, and the V6 runs on regular gasoline, a welcome advantage day to day.
All-wheel drive comes standard on this trim and takes advantage of a near-perfect weight balance, roughly 50-50, for reassuring traction in every season. On a snow-covered back road or a gravel country lane, torque is sent to the wheels with the most grip. On the efficiency side, the EnerGuide ratings come in at 13.5 L/100 km in the city and 9.9 L/100 km on the highway, competitive numbers for a full-size SUV that can genuinely tow.
Towing Capacity and Versatility
When properly equipped, and this vehicle is, thanks to its Class IV receiver hitch and integrated trailer brake controller, the Durango GT Plus V6 tows up to 6,200 lb (2,812 kg). That is the best-in-class V6 towing rating in the full-size SUV segment, enough to pull a travel trailer, a boat or a utility trailer toward the Massif du Sud without breaking a sweat.
Advanced trailer sway control monitors the trailer's movement and applies the brakes selectively to keep everything steady at highway speed. For the family, the three rows can be arranged in more than 50 configurations, and cargo space expands to as much as 85.1 cu ft with the second and third rows folded. Strollers, groceries, hockey gear or outdoor equipment, the Durango swallows whatever family life sends its way.
Exterior Style and Blacktop Package
The Blacktop Package reshapes the way the Durango carries itself. The 20-inch Black Noise aluminium wheels, gloss-black badging, black roof rails with integrated crossbars, satin-black tail lamp badge and gloss-black exterior mirrors give this SUV a dark, purposeful look. Vapour Grey monochromatic paint wraps the body in a clean, modern tone that lets every blacked-out accent stand out.
Up front, the signature lighting and distinctive grille nod to the brand's performance heritage. The overall result is an athletic stance that commands attention whether it is parked at the shopping centre or sitting in the cottage driveway.
Comfort and Interior
The cabin pairs leather with Ebony Red accents and red contrast stitching, a combination that warms up the black interior. The front leather bucket seats are heated and ventilated, with eight-way power adjustment, four-way power lumbar support and driver memory. Heated second-row seats extend that comfort to the back, a very real benefit through a Quebec winter.
Three-zone automatic climate control lets each occupant set their own temperature. A power sunroof floods the cabin with light, the door panels are wrapped in leather, and the power tilt and telescoping steering wheel helps every driver find an ideal position. With three rows and seating for up to seven, the Durango remains a true family SUV, ready for the long run toward the river or across the Appalachians.
Technology and Connectivity
Front and centre on the dashboard sits the 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, one of the most intuitive infotainment systems on the road today. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect automatically, and the wireless charging pad keeps a phone topped up without a cable in the way. Ahead of the driver, a 7-inch digital gauge cluster displays the essentials at a glance.
Sound is handled by a nine-speaker Alpine audio system with a 506-watt amplifier, turning every drive into a listening session. USB ports and a 115V auxiliary power outlet let you plug in devices and accessories, handy for kids in the back or gear you need to power on the move.
Safety and Driver Assistance
The 2026 Durango comes standard with Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection, a ParkView rear back-up camera, Electronic Stability Control and Advanced Brake Assist. This vehicle adds Full Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus, Lane Departure Warning Plus, automatic high-beam headlamp control and a security alarm.
Adaptive cruise control maintains a safe distance in traffic, while front and rear park assist makes tight manoeuvres easier. For those who tow, trailer detection and sway control add genuine peace of mind on the road, whatever the weather.
