Dodge Durango Gt Plus Blacktop V6 AWD *ARRIVAGE AOUT*2026 Dodge Durango GT AWD, muscle, seven seats, and serious towing for Beauce families
Some SUVs blend into the parking lot. The 2026 Dodge Durango GT is not one of them. With a 295-horsepower V6, standard all-wheel drive and room for seven, this three-row fully owns its muscle-car character. Dressed in the Blacktop package and finished in Furie Mécanique, it brings real street presence without giving up family practicality. On Autoroute 73 or a snow-covered country road in the Beauce, it moves with composure. And because it leaves the factory with its trailer tow group in place, it pulls up to 2,812 kg, or 6,200 lb.
Performance and driving
At the heart of the Durango GT is the 3.6-litre Pentastar V6, rated at 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Paired with the eight-speed TorqueFlite automatic, it delivers lively response around town and on the highway, and it keeps something in reserve even with the vehicle fully loaded.
Steering-wheel paddle shifters let you take control on a grade or while towing without taking your hands off the wheel. Standard all-wheel drive sends torque to the wheels with the best grip, which makes a real difference on a slick road or an unplowed lot.
This is not an SUV that only goes in a straight line. It has genuine punch off the line, confident steering and a planted feel that takes the fatigue out of longer runs to Québec City or Montréal.
Capability and towing
This is where the Durango GT shows its full reach. Thanks to the factory-installed Trailer Tow Group IV, it pulls up to 6,200 lb, the best V6 towing capacity in its class. That is enough for a boat, a snowmobile trailer, a light travel trailer or a work trailer without second-guessing.
The group is more than a hitch. It adds a Class IV hitch receiver, an integrated trailer brake controller, a 7- and 4-pin wiring harness, heavy-duty engine cooling and a rear load-levelling suspension that keeps the stance flat under load. Blind-spot monitoring with trailer detection and trailer sway control watch the back end while you focus on the road.
On space, the Durango delivers too. Seven seats across three rows, a 60/40 split-folding second row and a fold-flat third row open up to 85.1 cu-ft of cargo room. The weekend at the cottage, the kids' hockey gear or a full garage clean-up all fit in the same vehicle.
Exterior design
The Blacktop package gives the Durango GT its darkened look. Gloss black badging, 20-inch Black Noise wheels, a satin black tail lamp badge and black roof rails with integrated crossbars come together as one clean, serious package, with no overstatement.
The Furie Mécanique body, with its monochromatic treatment, sets off that blacked-out signature. Front and rear, LED lighting cuts through the dark and improves visibility on the poorly lit roads of the Chaudière-Appalaches.
The result is an SUV that stands out in a lot without trying too hard, true to Dodge character.
Comfort and cabin
Inside, the Durango GT focuses on space and practicality. The leather-faced, heated front bucket seats take the edge off cold mornings, and the black interior keeps a sober look that holds up to family use.
The flexibility is real. The second row folds with a single pull for access to the third, and the whole arrangement drops flat when you need to haul. Adults and kids alike find their spot, whether it is the morning daycare run or a trip into the city.
Solid sound insulation and a high seating position add to the sense of control, especially on the highway or in bad weather.
Technology and connectivity
The dashboard is built around the 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen, known for being quick and easy to read. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect you the moment you sit down, with no cable to fuss with.
Voice-activated dual-zone automatic climate control lets everyone set their own zone, and the ParkView back-up camera makes tight manoeuvres and hooking up a trailer simpler. The whole setup is meant to stay easy to use day to day, winter gloves included.
Safety and driver assistance
The Durango GT arrives well equipped on the driver-assistance front. Blind-spot monitoring, here paired with trailer detection, warns you about what is approaching in your blind areas. Rear cross-path detection keeps an eye on traffic as you back out of a parking space.
Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go holds a safe gap in traffic and pulls away again after a full stop, a real plus on Autoroute 73 at rush hour. Trailer sway control steadies the rig during passing or in strong winds.

The Durango GT seats seven across three rows. The second row folds 60/40 and the third folds flat, opening up to 85.1 cu-ft of cargo space depending on the configuration you choose.
How does it handle winter in Quebec?
Standard all-wheel drive and electronic traction management help it hold its line on snow and ice, which makes it a reassuring partner in the Chaudière-Appalaches. It comes with all-season tires, and a set of winter tires is still recommended to get the most from its capability.
