Marking the final evolutionary zenith of the third-generation Durango, the 2021 refresh introduced a driver-centric Challenger-inspired cockpit, standard LED lighting and the headline-grabbing 710 bhp supercharged 6.2 Hellcat V8. Offering an exhilarating American antidote to mainstream luxury family hauliers like the Kia Sorento, it spans everything from economical V6 family transports to tyre-shredding supercharged behemoths. Meticulous Dodge Durango maintenance is imperative given the extreme performance and thermal demands involved.
While the familiar 3.6 Pentastar and 5.7 HEMI provide dependable everyday service, the SRT 392 and Hellcat models occupy an entirely different tier of mechanical complexity. The Hellcat demands particular vigilance regarding its dedicated low-temperature intercooler circuit, secondary coolant pump and heavy-duty supercharger drive belt. On Pentastar models, continuing vigilance is required around the engine valley oil cooler housing for oil or coolant weeping.
