You do not have to be an expert on the Dodge brand to know that power is a priority. This brand is home to such vehicles as the Charger and Challenger, vehicles known for their muscular appearance and performance. Those kinds of beastly machinations are not limited to just the cars, however, as the company puts a strong foot forward when it comes to sport utility vehicles, too. This is the case with the 2018 Dodge Durango SRT engine and horsepower, which are just a couple of the star features of this new SUV. Read on for more details.

2018 Dodge Durango engine specs
The new 2018 Dodge Durango SRT is a three-row SUV that has a mighty heart beating beneath its hood. The 392-cubic-inch HEMI V8 engine is capable of producing a whopping 475 horsepower and 470 pounds per foot of torque. It can crank the vehicle from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 4.4 seconds, which allows it to cover a quarter mile in 12.9 seconds. This makes it the fastest SUV in its class, according to the National Hot Rod Association.
The Durango SRT features a wide body design that allows it to really shine as a performance SUV. It has a functional cold-air duct and heat extractors on the hood to cool the engine and improve the performance overall. A standard Torqueflite eight-speed automatic transmission has been specifically calibrated for this SUV in order to optimize shift points and deliver the maximum torque possible to all four wheels.
2018 Dodge Durango towing capacity
Part of what makes an SUV so appealing is its ability to tow heavy loads behind it. The 2018 Dodge Durango SRT has a best-in-class maximum towing capacity of 8,600 pounds. That gives you a plethora of options as far as what can come along for the trip! The performance-tuned all-wheel-drive system can help with the handling, whether you are towing something behind you or just taking the vehicle for a joyride.
The 2018 Dodge Durango SRT is expected to roll out to dealerships in the final quarter of 2017. Keep it tuned to the Billion Auto Group blog for more updates as they are available!
