The 2018 Dodge Durango has arrived at local Ohio dealerships, including Sherry Chrysler. With this updated version of the family-friendly SUV on the lot, it is time to make sure that you are familiar with its features and what separates this model from the previous model year. As always, the Durango is the largest SUV in the Dodge lineup, featuring your choice of two or three rows of seating. There is also the familiar choice of rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.

New SRT Trim

Perhaps the biggest news for the 2018 Dodge Durango is the addition of a new SRT trim level. This trim gives you a 6.4-liter V8 powertrain that delivers 475 horsepower and lets the SUV reach 60 mph from a standstill in only 4.4 seconds. It only takes 12.9 seconds for the new Durango SRT to complete the quarter mile. In addition, this trim is ready to tow 8,600 pounds.

Improved Standard Features

The new trim level isn’t the only enhancement for the 2018 model year. The list of standard features has also expanded, now including a 7-inch touchscreen for the multimedia system, rear parking sensors, a sport steering wheel featuring an updated gearshift lever, and leather wrapping on that steering wheel.

Other Updates

Even the available features have expanded, now including front parking sensors. Certain trims also have some updates. The R/T trims borrow some styling elements from the SRT, including flared fenders, a ventilated hood, a deep-set grille, and the front bumper. The GT trims with either the Brass Monkey or Blacktop appearance packages also get that hood scoop.
