Durango SUVthese Dodge vehicles from each other so you can make an educated decision when choosing your next vehicle.

Power

When it comes to power, the 2020 Durango doesn’t disappoint. The base model comes with a 3.6-liter V-6 engine, but two Hemi engines are available. The 5.7-liter or 6.4-liter V-8 Hemi engines can easily tow heavy trailers and large campers. The Durango has one of the highest towing capacities in its class, as it can tow up to 6,200 pounds with the V-6, 7,400 pounds with the smaller V-8, and 8,700 pounds with the larger V-8. All engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, but you can opt for all-wheel drive on most trims.

Dodge removed the V-6 option for the Journey in the 2020 model year, so this SUV has only one engine option remaining. Now you have only a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. It also comes only with front-wheel drive. The Journey has a maximum towing capacity of 1,000 pounds, which works if you’re towing bikes or a couple of kayaks. Read the rest of this entry »
