2026 Dodge Durango: What’s New, Trims, Specs & Features
The 2026 Dodge Durango tows up to 8,700 lbs and offers engine choices from a 295-hp V6 to a 707-hp supercharged Hellcat V8. That engine range is wider than most three-row SUVs on the market today. This page covers every trim, spec, and change for 2026, with inventory available at Fillback Family of Dealerships.
What’s New for 2026
The headline addition for 2026 is the R/T 392 Launch Edition, which slots a 6.4L HEMI V8 into the Durango lineup and brings a dedicated performance-focused trim that did not exist in the prior year’s lineup. The America250 Edition packages also arrive across multiple GT and GT Plus trims, offering a distinct appearance and equipment bundle tied to the country’s semiquincentennial. The SRT Hellcat and SRT Hellcat Jailbreak continue with the 707-hp supercharged 6.2L V8, keeping the Durango’s position as the most powerful three-row SUV in the segment. If you were cross-shopping the 2025 Durango, 2026 gives you more trim choices and more ways to match power output to budget.
Trim Lineup
The 2026 Durango spans thirteen configurations from the GT entry point through the Hellcat Jailbreak. Here is how the lineup builds:
GT
The base GT runs the 3.6L Pentastar V6 with 295 hp and is the only trim available in rear-wheel drive as well as AWD. This is the starting point for buyers who want a 7-passenger SUV with a straightforward powertrain.
GT HEMI V8 AWD
Adds the 5.7L HEMI V8 in an AWD-only configuration, stepping up torque and towing capability for buyers who need more muscle than the V6 provides.
GT Plus AWD
Builds on the GT with an upgraded equipment level while keeping the V6. A GT Plus HEMI V8 AWD variant adds the 5.7L engine to the Plus package.
GT Plus America250 Edition AWD
Available with either the V6 or the 5.7L HEMI V8, this special package adds America250 badging and trim-specific content tied to the 2026 semiquincentennial theme.
GT Premium HEMI V8 AWD and GT Premium America250 Edition HEMI V8 AWD
Top the GT family with the 5.7L engine and a premium equipment tier.
SRT Hellcat AWD and SRT Hellcat Jailbreak AWD
Powered by the 6.2L supercharged HEMI V8, these are the apex of the Durango lineup. The Jailbreak adds additional personalization options on top of the Hellcat base.
Performance & Powertrain
3.6L Pentastar V6
The base 3.6L Pentastar V6 produces 295 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission. EPA ratings for the V6 configuration are 18 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 20 mpg combined. EPA fuel economy ratings
5.7L HEMI V8
Step up to the 5.7L HEMI V8 and output climbs meaningfully, while the 6.4L in the R/T 392 Launch Edition adds another level of performance headroom.
6.4L HEMI V8
The 6.4L in the R/T 392 Launch Edition adds another level of performance headroom.
6.2L Supercharged HEMI V8
The 6.2L supercharged V8 in the SRT Hellcat trims represents the ceiling for any production three-row SUV currently on sale.
Drivetrain and Towing
All trims use the 8-speed automatic transmission. RWD is standard on the base GT, and AWD is available or standard across the rest of the lineup. Properly equipped, the Durango tows up to 8,700 lbs, which covers most boats, campers, and trailers that Wisconsin families tow to lakes and campgrounds around Richland Center, Boscobel, and Prairie du Chien.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo
The Durango seats seven across three rows. The body stretches 200.9 inches in length, giving the cabin enough space to carry seven adults without the cramped third-row feeling common to smaller crossovers. Cargo behind the third row measures 17.2 cu ft. Fold the third row and you get 43.3 cu ft. Fold both rows and max cargo reaches 85.1 cu ft, which is a practical number for hauling gear on weekend trips.
The power liftgate opens from a button on the center overhead console, so you do not need to put anything down to access the cargo area. Materials and finish levels step up through the GT Plus and GT Premium trims, with available premium content at the higher configurations.
Technology & Infotainment
Every 2026 Durango runs Uconnect on a 10.1-inch touchscreen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both supported, so phone integration works regardless of which device your family uses. Bluetooth connectivity, AM/FM radio, and standard audio come on every trim.
Buyers who want a more substantial audio experience can add the available Harman Kardon 19-speaker system. Trailering tech includes an available integrated trailer brake controller and available Blind Spot Monitoring with Trailer Tow Detection through the Trailer Tow Package, both relevant for drivers who regularly tow on routes through southwest Wisconsin.
Safety & Driver Assistance
Standard safety content on the 2026 Durango includes:
- Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path Detection
- ParkView rear backup camera
- Electronic Stability Control
- Advanced Brake Assist with Ready Alert Braking
- Rear parking sensors
Available systems include:
- Forward Collision Warning with Full Stop (automatic emergency braking)
- LaneSense Lane Departure Warning with Lane Keep Assist
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop
These are add-ons rather than universal standard equipment, so trim selection and packages will determine which features come on your specific vehicle.
Who It’s For vs the Prior Year
The 2026 Durango is built for buyers who need three-row seating and genuine towing capability from a single vehicle. The new R/T 392 Launch Edition fills a gap between the 5.7L HEMI trims and the Hellcat, giving performance buyers a step-up option that did not exist before. The America250 Edition packages add visual distinction for buyers who want something specific to the model year without moving all the way up the trim ladder.
Compared to 2025, the 2026 model expands the lineup with more engine-trim combinations, particularly in the performance segment. Buyers who shopped the 2025 Durango and found nothing between the GT HEMI and the Hellcat now have the R/T 392 Launch Edition to consider.
