Few three-row SUVs can pull a boat to the Chain O’Lakes on Saturday and still feel like a muscle car on Monday’s commute. The Dodge Durango does both. At Gurnee Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM, 7255 Grand Ave in Gurnee, you can line up the Durango GT, R/T 392 and SRT Hellcat side by side, whether your weekends involve a travel-team carpool in Grayslake or a camper headed for the Wisconsin border.
Look through the Durango listings above, then use the trim, engine and towing breakdowns below to match the right SUV to your family and your trailer.
On the newest Durango models, Dodge makes a HEMI V8 standard across the board: the 5.7L in the GT HEMI, the 6.4L in the R/T 392 and the supercharged 6.2L in the SRT Hellcat.
Properly equipped, the Durango is rated to tow up to 8,700 lbs, which covers plenty of campers, pontoons and car haulers. The R/T 392 and Hellcat get that rating standard, and GT HEMI models get it with the Tow ‘n Go package.
An available third row seats up to seven, and depending on trim you can choose a second-row bench or captain’s chairs. Dodge lists up to 85.1 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded.
Current Durango models come with all-wheel drive, and available heated seats, a heated steering wheel and remote start take the sting out of frosty mornings in Antioch or Zion.
Each Durango trim family steps up from the one before. Compare them here, then ask us to park equipped SUVs next to each other so you can see the differences in person.

It is a strong choice. You get seating for up to seven with the available third row, captain’s chairs on many trims and up to 85.1 cubic feet of cargo room with the seats down. It also out-tows most three-row crossovers, which matters if your family camps or boats.
A properly equipped Durango tows up to 8,700 lbs. The R/T 392 and SRT Hellcat include that rating standard, and GT HEMI models reach it with the Tow ‘n Go package. We can confirm the rating for the specific SUV you like.
For many travel trailers and pop-up campers, a properly equipped HEMI Durango works well. Compare your camper’s loaded weight and tongue weight with the Durango’s ratings and use a weight-distributing hitch where it is recommended. For heavier fifth-wheels, look at the Ram 2500.
Dodge has made a HEMI V8 standard across the newest Durango lineup. Earlier GT models with the 3.6L Pentastar V6 may still turn up as remaining new or pre-owned inventory, so ask our team what is on the lot.
Both offer three rows. The Durango emphasizes V8 power, towing and a sporty driving feel, while the Grand Cherokee L leans toward off-road ability and a more upscale interior. We sell both, so you can drive them on the same visit.
Dodge rates the Durango SRT Hellcat at 710 hp from its supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8, and it keeps an 8,700-lb tow rating. It is among the most powerful SUVs on sale, and an available Jailbreak program adds more personalization options.
