2026 Dodge Durango Engine Performance & Specifications

2026 Dodge Durango driving through the desert highway

In a market where most midsize SUVs have traded performance for practicality, the 2026 Dodge Durango continues to do both. It's the only SUV in its class available with a supercharged V8, delivering up to 710 horsepower, a blistering 0–60 miles per hour time of just 3.5 seconds, and best-in-class towing of up to 8,700 pounds. Whether you're looking for a capable family hauler or a three-row SUV with genuine muscle car DNA, the Durango lineup offers four distinct engines to choose from. Here's the full engine and performance breakdown from the team at Tarrabain Motor Products in Lac La Biche, Alberta.

2026 Dodge Durango Engine Options

All four engines pair with a TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission and standard All-Wheel Drive.

Engine Horsepower Torque 0-60 mph Max Towing Best For
3.6L Pentastar V6 295 hp 260 lb-ft 7.4 sec 6,200 lbs Everyday family driving and fuel efficiency

2026 Dodge Durango Tow N' Go Package

Available on all HEMI V8 models, the Tow N' Go package unlocks the Durango's best-in-class towing capacity of 8,700 pounds and adds a comprehensive performance hardware upgrade:

  • 20x10-inch SRT Satin Carbon wheels
  • Black Brembo brake calipers
  • Bilstein active damping high-performance suspension
  • Electronic limited-slip rear differential
  • Pirelli Scorpion Zero run-flat 295 tires
  • Widebody flare
  • High-performance exhaust
  • Configurable drive modes (Sport, Track, Tow, and Snow)
  • Class IV trailer hitch and integrated trailer brake control — standard towing hardware

For Lac La Biche drivers who need to tow a large trailer, boat, or equipment across northern Alberta roads in variable conditions, the Tow N' Go package delivers the hardware to do it safely and confidently.

2026 Dodge Durango All-Wheel Drive

Every 2026 Durango comes with All-Wheel Drive as standard. There's no FWD base model to navigate around. The AWD system distributes power automatically between the front and rear axles to maintain traction on wet Alberta roads, loose gravel, and unpredictable northern conditions.

The Hellcat Jailbreak and Tow N' Go-equipped models add Quadra-Trac active on-demand 4WD, a more sophisticated system that actively manages torque distribution for performance driving and heavy towing.

Trailer Sway Control is standard across the lineup. This detects trailer oscillation and applies brake pressure to alternating wheels while adjusting throttle to stabilize the combination, which is particularly valuable on long, open highways where crosswind and passing traffic can affect trailer stability.
