How Much Can the 2027 Durango Tow?

Towing depends on the engine, not the trim name. Dodge dropped the V6 for 2027, so every Durango starts with a HEMI. The 5.7L HEMI V8 in the three GT HEMI trims is rated at 7,200 lbs with a 1,787 lb payload, the highest in the lineup. The supercharged SRT Hellcat models top out at 8,700 lbs.

For a bass boat, a pop-up camper or a utility trailer on Vermillion and Parke County roads, the GT HEMI V8 AWD at $43,875 is the practical sweet spot. Add the Trailer Tow Group IV package and you get trailer brake control, automatic rear load leveling, and blind-spot monitoring that covers the trailer, which helps on two-lane state highways and at the boat ramp.

The catalog data does not list a towing rating for the 6.4L R/T 392 trims; ask our team for the figure on a specific vehicle.

5.7L HEMI, 6.4L HEMI or Hellcat: Which Engine Fits?

Every Durango uses the TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic. The engine is the real decision:

• 5.7L HEMI V8 (360 hp, 390 lb-ft): 7,200 lbs of towing at 14 city / 21 highway / 16 combined mpg. The working-family engine.
• 6.4L HEMI V8 (475 hp, 470 lb-ft): the R/T 392 trims, tuned for performance and seating six.
• 6.2L supercharged V8 (710 hp, 645 lb-ft): the SRT Hellcat trims, five seats and 8,700 lbs of towing.

Every 2027 Durango is all-wheel drive, which suits gravel township roads and Indiana winters. The V6 and rear-wheel-drive models from earlier years are gone.

Seating, Space, and Cabin Comfort

The GT HEMI trims seat seven in a 2+3+2 layout. An optional fold-and-tumble captain’s chair package on the GT HEMI Plus and Premium drops that to six and opens a center aisle to the third row. R/T 392 trims seat six; Hellcat trims seat five.

Cargo is about 17 cu ft behind the third row and about 85 cu ft with the rear seats folded. Third-row legroom is 33.5 inches, fine for kids and shorter adults. Three-zone automatic climate control is standard on every trim.

Infotainment and Safety Technology

Every 2027 Durango has a 10.1-inch touchscreen with built-in navigation, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa. Built-in navigation matters on rural routes where phone signal drops. SiriusXM Guardian remote services (lock, unlock, remote start, vehicle diagnostics) are included for 120 months.

Audio starts with a 9-speaker Alpine system with subwoofer on the GT HEMI and R/T 392 trims and steps up to a 19-speaker harman/kardon system on the GT HEMI Premium and R/T 392 Premium.

Seven airbags, blind-spot and rear cross-path detection are standard. The HEMI GT trims and R/T 392 Premium add Full Speed Forward Collision Warning Plus with automatic emergency braking and Lane Departure Warning Plus; the GT HEMI Premium adds adaptive cruise control with stop and go.

What Every 2027 Durango Trim Costs

Add a $1,995 destination charge to every trim. The GT HEMI V8 AWD at $43,875 is the entry point for 2027 and already carries the 7,200 lb towing rating.
