Just a couple of days ago, Dodge unveiled its updated 2021 Dodge Durango. While the limited production run 2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat, stole the show, Dodge unveiled its popular HEMI-powered Durango R/T model. The 2021 Dodge Durango R/T gets much of its big-brother Hellcat’s looks but is more aimed at affordability. With new looks and completely revised interior, the new 2021 Dodge Durango R/T is not only ready to look good but it’s ready to work hard.

One of the biggest advancements for the 2021 Dodge Durango R/T is the new available Tow N’ Go Package. The Tow N’ Go Package leverages SRT’s menacing looks and muscular front and rear fender flares, 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 (rated at 360 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque) performance, unmatched towing with best-in-class towing of 8,700 lbs. (matching the Hellcat and SRT392 models, and 1,300 lbs. more than the standard R/T), increased top speed of 145 mph, Track, Sport, Snow, and Tow drive modes and a re-tuned SRT-performance exhaust with an unmistakable iconic Dodge exhaust rumble.

  • Sport – delivers increased vehicle performance capability over Auto mode. Tightens up suspension damping and increased steering gradient feel for improved cornering capability and steering response feedback. In addition, AWD set to 35/65 for increased performance, shift speed increases from Auto mode and ESC allows more yaw for spirited driving
  • Snow – sets ideal configuration for driving in snow by setting transmission to use second gear (rather than first gear) during launches to minimize wheel slippage; stability control is set to tighter constraints and AWD is set to 50/50 distribution
  • Tow – transmission shift schedule/engine braking optimized for towing, AWD set to 50/50 for maximum stability
