Maximum towing requires the optional towing equipment. Trailer-tow Group IV adds an integrated trailer brake controller, heavy-duty cooling, rear load-leveling suspension, a Class IV hitch, Blind-spot Monitoring with Trailer Detection and a two-speed transfer case; it's standard with the GT HEMI and R/T 392 Plus and Premium packages. The GT HEMI's Tow 'n Go package pairs the 8,700-lb Class IV hitch with Bilstein adaptive damping, black Brembo brakes, an electronic limited-slip rear axle and widebody flares. Trailer-sway control is standard on every trim, which helps with a boat on the way to Folsom Lake or a camper headed up to Tahoe.
Estimated payload is 1,350 lb for the GT HEMI, 1,401 lb for the R/T 392 and 1,590 lb for the SRT Hellcat, with a 7,100-lb GVWR on all three. Check the door-jamb label on the Durango you choose.

The Durango is the only V8 of the four, and Dodge calls it the last V8 in its segment. Properly equipped, it tows 3,700 lb more than the Explorer, Traverse or gas Telluride. The rivals win on fuel economy by a wide margin, so the Durango makes the most sense if you tow, want V8 performance, or both. Shopping Dodge performance more broadly? Compare it with the Dodge Charger.
