2012 Dodge Durango

2012 Dodge Durango: has two engines to choose from: the base V6 and a Hemi V8. The V6 engine makes a decent 290 horsepower, while the V8 engine puts 360 ponies to the ground. Reviewers say the V6 is probably plenty powerful for most people’s needs, and it can tow up to 6,200 pounds, which is above average for the class. But shoppers looking for real speed and capability should consider the Durango’s optional Hemi V8, which increases the Durango’s towing capacity and horsepower.

 

But comes with a significant dip in fuel economy. However, for a fun driving experience and a husky, growling soundtrack, reviewers say it’s hard to pass on the big, bad Hemi. Some reviewers take issue with the five-speed automatic transmission, which isn’t as responsive as they’d like. Keep in mind that the five-speed transmission is paired with the V6 engine, while V8s are paired with a new-for-2012 automatic transmission that lets the driver choose between six speeds when shifting in manual mode.
