While the three-row SUV segment moved to turbo four-cylinder engines and front-drive platforms, the Dodge Durango stayed the course: a rear-drive-based architecture, a HEMI V8 on the order sheet, and towing numbers measured in thousands of pounds. That is exactly why it stays in demand on the used market at Daniel Paré Dodge Chrysler, from Beauce and Bellechasse to Lévis and Quebec City, among families who pull a travel trailer or a boat. The catch is knowing how to read the model years.
The Durango will not force you to untangle two overlapping generations. The current generation has been in production since the 2011 model year and runs uninterrupted through 2026.
The single most useful landmark in that long run is the 2021 model year and its mid-cycle restyling: new front end, slimmer LED headlamps, new daytime running lamp signature, new grille and new rear spoiler. The cabin changed even more, with a driver-oriented instrument panel and the move to Uconnect 5 with a 10.1-inch touchscreen. The dividing line for a used buyer therefore falls between the 2016 to 2020 model years and those from 2021 to 2026. Stellantis announced in the fall of 2025 that a next-generation Durango is planned for 2029.
The 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 is the base engine across the whole span. Canadian fact sheets rate it at 293 horsepower, and up to 295 depending on exhaust configuration, with 260 lb-ft of torque.
The 5.7-litre HEMI V8 makes 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft, with cylinder deactivation, and it too runs through the entire period. Fitted with the trailer tow package, it brings a transfer case with low range, handy for pulling a boat up a steep ramp.
The 6.4-litre HEMI V8, the famous 392, makes 475 horsepower and 470 lb-ft. It joins the Canadian lineup for 2018 as the Durango SRT, becomes the SRT 392 in 2021, and stays available through 2024. It is absent from the 2025 Canadian lineup, then returns for 2026 as the Durango R/T 392.
The supercharged 6.2-litre V8 of the SRT Hellcat makes 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft. Its history is the trickiest one: offered for 2021 and presented at the time as a one-year-only model, absent for 2022, then back from 2023 through 2026. A 2022 Durango SRT Hellcat sold new in Canada simply does not exist.
Here is the point that simplifies the search in Quebec. Across the Canadian lineup, all-wheel drive is standard on every Durango model, and Stellantis Canada states it in plain language. That is a real difference from the American market, where several trims are also sold in rear-wheel drive. A rear-drive-only example would be a vehicle imported from the United States.
Properly equipped, the 3.6-litre V6 Durango is rated at 2,812 kilograms, or 6,200 pounds. With the 5.7-litre V8, capacity rises to 3,265 kilograms, or 7,200 pounds. With the 6.4-litre, the supercharged 6.2-litre, or the 5.7-litre fitted with the Tow N Go package, it reaches 3,946 kilograms, or 8,700 pounds.
Tow N Go arrives for 2021 on the R/T. It is far more than a hitch: it brings the 8,700-pound rating, Track, Sport, Snow and Tow drive modes, a performance exhaust, an electronic limited-slip rear differential and Brembo brakes. For 2024 it becomes available on the Citadel as well, and it returns for 2026 on the V8 model.
One distinction that prevents expensive mistakes: towing capacity and payload are not the same thing. Towing capacity is what the vehicle can pull behind it. Payload is what the vehicle can carry itself, meaning passengers, luggage, installed accessories and the tongue weight the trailer places on the ball. A family of seven with luggage already uses a good share of it. Both limits have to be respected at once, and the payload figure for each unit appears on the compliance label on the driver door pillar.
The Canadian lineup has moved around a lot. In the mid-2010s you find SXT, Limited, Citadel and R/T, with GT replacing Limited from 2017, then the 6.4-litre SRT joining for 2018. For 2021 there are six models: SXT, GT, Citadel, R/T, SRT 392 and SRT Hellcat. For 2022, five, with the Hellcat gone. For 2023 and 2024, six again. For 2025, only three: GT, R/T and SRT Hellcat.
Then comes the naming change every shopper needs to know. For the 2026 model year, Dodge moved the R/T badge. The 5.7-litre V8 model that had carried it for years became the GT HEMI V8, and the R/T name shifted to the 6.4-litre V8 model, the R/T 392. So a Durango R/T from 2025 or earlier is a 360-horsepower 5.7-litre, while an R/T 392 is a 475-horsepower 6.4-litre. Two very different vehicles, one badge. Check the displacement on the vehicle sheet rather than the badge on the tailgate.
The Durango has three rows and seats up to seven. The second row comes as a 60/40 split bench or as captain's chairs with a centre pass-through, which helps when two child seats are installed there and someone still needs to reach the third row, itself split 50/50. Dodge advertises more than 50 seating combinations, and some trims come in five, six or seven-passenger layouts. With the rear rows folded, the floor is flat and maximum cargo volume reaches 2,409 litres, or 85.1 cubic feet.
On the 2016 and 2017 model years, the Durango came with a 5-inch Uconnect screen as standard or an 8.4-inch unit as an option, with no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Both arrived for 2018 and were standard on every Durango model that year, while the base screen grew to 7 inches. The 2019 model year added the integrated trailer brake.
The 2021 model year is the big leap, with Uconnect 5, the 10.1-inch touchscreen angled toward the driver and wireless device charging. For 2022, Blind-spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path detection became standard across the lineup. For 2023, Canadian GT and R/T models gained standard navigation, Forward Collision Warning and adaptive cruise control. For 2025, the 10.1-inch screen became standard on every model. Across the period, the Durango also offers more than 60 safety features and standard trailer sway control.
No. The current generation has been in production since the 2011 model year and continues through 2026. The most significant update in that span is the 2021 restyling.
The 3.6-litre V6, the 5.7-litre V8 with 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft, the 6.4-litre V8 with 475 horsepower and 470 lb-ft, and the supercharged 6.2-litre V8 with 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft, all with an eight-speed automatic.
Not if it was sold new in Canada. Stellantis Canada confirms all-wheel drive is standard across the Canadian lineup. A rear-drive example would be an imported vehicle.
Because Dodge moved the name for the 2026 model year. Through 2025, the R/T is the 5.7-litre V8. From 2026, that engine becomes the GT HEMI V8 and the R/T name moves to the 6.4-litre V8, the R/T 392.
Up to 6,200 pounds with the V6, 7,200 pounds with the 5.7-litre, and 8,700 pounds with the 6.4-litre, the supercharged 6.2-litre or the 5.7-litre with Tow N Go, when properly equipped.
A package introduced for 2021 on the Durango R/T. It raises towing to 8,700 pounds and adds Track, Sport, Snow and Tow drive modes, an electronic limited-slip rear differential and Brembo brakes.
Towing capacity is the weight pulled behind the vehicle. Payload is the weight carried by the vehicle itself: passengers, luggage, accessories and trailer tongue weight. Both limits apply at the same time, and the payload figure appears on the driver door pillar label.
Up to seven, across three rows, with five, six or seven-passenger layouts depending on equipment.
From the 2018 model year, when Apple CarPlay and Android Auto became standard on every model. The 2016 and 2017 model years do not have them from the factory.
Standard all-wheel drive and the Snow drive mode offered on certain trims work in its favour on the snowy roads of Chaudière-Appalaches. In Quebec, four compliant winter tires are mandatory from December 1 to March 15.
