Great news for Dodge Durango fans! For the first time ever- the entire lineup will come exclusively equipped with a standard HEMI V-8 engine. This means the entry level GT model drops the V6. It's effective as of this past Wednesday August 13th, when order books opened for the GT and SRT Hellcat. They'll start arriving in dealerships in the fourth quarter. Orders for the Durango R/T AWD will open later this year.
The 2026 Durango lineup includes the GT, R/T and SRT Hellcat models, equipped with the 5.7-liter, 392-cubic-inch (6.4L) or 6.2-liter Supercharged HEMI V-8, respectively. All 2026 Dodge Durango models deliver best-in-class towing of up to 8,700 pounds.
