The Trims of the 2021 Dodge Durango

One of the original crossover SUVs in the market is the Dodge Durango. For the 2021 model year, this SUV is offered in six trims.

You can now have a Durango SRT Hellcat model that makes 710 horsepower, see upgrades inside and out across the entire range, an improved towing package that adds 100more pounds to the mix, an updated infotainment system, and new wireless smartphone integration and charging.

If you want a complete package that’s relatively affordable, this could be the right Dodge for you to drive.

GT

Move up one spot to the GT trim and you’re going to find a few more items that can make the drive enjoyable for you. This model brings you a third-row seat, an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, and a universal garage door opener to make it easy for you to pull in and have the door go up when you arrive at home.

Even the base trim is eligible for some options. This SXT trim can be had with a sunroof, AWD, roof rails, cosmetic upgrades, 20-inch alloy wheels, satellite radio, a trailer-prep package, and rear parking sensors.

Higher trims allow you to add more to the mix.
