What are the Durango's engine options?
The Dodge Durango is one of the most powerful SUVs on the planet as it comes with several incredible engine options. The standard for the SXT is a 3.6-liter V6 that kicks out 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, which pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Moving up to the R/T brings the first of several V8 engine options, and in this case, it's a 5.7-liter V8 that delivers 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. The engine is also standard on the Citadel. Towing is impressive for this engine as it can haul up to 7,400 pounds. The R/T can even go as high as 8,400 pounds with the Tow n Go package, which is the best in the class. Are you looking for your SUV to blaze down the highway? The SRT has got you covered with a 6.4-liter V8 that has a mind-boggling 475 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. If you wish for a touch more power, the SRT Hellcat rounds out this powerful lineup with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 with 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque and hits 60 mph in 3.5 seconds or less.

Can you tell me about the Durango's safety features?
With great power should come great safety features, and the Durango has them with systems such as a Blind-Sport Monitoring System, which will scan the areas around the Durango for vehicles and help you make better lane changes. Also available is an Adaptive Cruise Control System, which allows the driver of the Durango to maintain a pre-set distance between the massive SUV and all the traffic in front of it. One of the coolest safety features on the Durango is the rain-sensing windshield wipers, which will automatically turn on when moisture is detected on the windshield.
