Dodge Durango Towing Capacity
Complete towing capacity specs for the Dodge Durango, broken down by year and trim. Every number comes from Dodge's official towing guides.
The Durango is Dodge's three-row SUV and one of the strongest towing vehicles in the midsize SUV segment, with ratings up to 8,700 lbs on the V8-equipped trims. Built on a body-on-frame platform shared with the Jeep Grand Cherokee, it offers a level of towing capability that most crossover SUVs cannot match. The Durango competes less with typical family SUVs and more with body-on-frame trucks for buyers who need passenger space and towing in one package.
Three engines define the towing tiers. The 3.6L Pentastar V6 is the base engine at 6,200 lbs across all V6 trims. The 5.7L HEMI V8 steps up to 7,200-7,400 lbs depending on drivetrain, and with the Tow N Go package reaches 8,700 lbs. The SRT 392 (6.4L V8) and SRT Hellcat (6.2L supercharged V8) both hit the same 8,700 lb ceiling, making the R/T with Tow N Go the most cost-effective way to reach maximum towing.
The Durango is one of the few SUVs where the performance trims actually tow as much as or more than the base model. The Hellcat at 8,700 lbs and 1,590 lbs payload is both the most powerful and the most capable towing configuration in the lineup.
