Take a Closer Look at the 2021 Dodge Durango

There are several fantastic three-row SUVs on the market today, but few pack a punch like the 2021 Dodge Durango. It offers the most powerful engines in its class and plenty of spacious seating and modern amenities that make this SUV more than just a family vehicle. The available 4×4 system provides low-range gearing that allows you to tackle muddy trails, ensuring you’re always ready to hit the road, while the infotainment system can keep your navigation on track.

Solid Towing Capacity

Drivers who don’t own a pickup will find that the strength and capabilities of the 2021 Durano is a suitable alternative. Even the base engine can handle a 6,200-pound load. Upgrading to a Hemi V8 engine will increase the Durango’s towing capacity to a maximum of 8,700 pounds.

Haul anything from show cars to travel trailers and everything in between. All of the necessary towing essentials are also available on the Durango, such as a load-leveling rear suspension and trailer sway control.

Off-Road Capabilities

The 2021 Durango is an admirable off-road performer. Camping trips and venturing off the beaten path will become a favorite pastime for you and your family or friends. The capable 4×4 system is available as an upgrade, as is the four-wheel-drive system which will enhance traction while traveling in deep snow or mud. The 8.1 inches of ground clearance will also prove immensely useful while exploring various terrains.

Comfortable and Spacious Interior

Family vehicles need to be comfortable for everyone, not just the driver. The available third-row seat allows the Durango to seat up to eight people. The extra legroom is sure to appease taller passengers and the family-sized cargo area in the rear will certainly prove to be of good use.

Buyers looking for more luxury may want to consider upgrading to the dual-screen entertainment system, designed to keep your backseat passengers captivated. The available heated second-row seats are a nice touch, as are the climate-controlled front seats.

All-New Uconnect 5 Infotainment System

The Uconnect interface on Dodge’s previous vehicles was already a top-rated system, but the newest UConnect 5 version is even better than before and comes standard on every 2021 Durango model. It is exceptionally responsive, with a user-friendly and intuitive interface.

Bluetooth allows up to two phones to connect at a time to the system, making it easy to have access to both your personal and your work phone, or to perhaps allow a passenger to take advantage of the system as well. Wirelessly sync with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto while Amazon Alexa enables drivers to utilize voice commands to control various functions. Buyers who choose a higher trim level will enjoy the larger 10.1-inch touchscreen.

Families on the hunt for a new SUV should put the 2021 Durango at the top of their list. It’s spacious, muscular, and packed with updated technologies. Contact us today at Lithia Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Bend for a test drive.
