There’s an old hot-rod car culture adage, “there’s no replacement for displacement.” The Dodge Durango is one of the most mundane, boring, average and unremarkable SUV’s on the market and it’s one of our least favorite in the segment. So what happens when you replace the boring V6 with a snarling 5.7-liter V8? Well, it goes from zero to hero, that’s what happens!
Rated at a modest 360hp, the telling 390ft-lb of torque means that it actually feels quicker than advertised. Torque is what you really feel leaving a stoplight and this R/T leaves stoplights with authority and the accompanying V8 rumble is music to our ears.
Even with such a glorious engine, this Durango is not without its faults. We’ve never been a fan of the design, but the R/T treatment makes things a bit more appealing to look at. Inside, there are some nice materials and touches, but thin plastics give it an overall cheap feel. With a starting price of over $46,000 for the AWD version, there’s room for interior improvement. We dig the available red leather seats, but the embroidered ‘R/T’ on the seatback is a bit much. The plastic “aluminum” trim on the dash not only feels low-end, it just looks cheap. There’s also a mashup of too many different textures and finishes.

As the group at Motor Trend found when it added one to its long-lasting fleet, the Dodge Durango GT is a large, flexible SUV that’s likewise sportier compared to you might expect. That stated, with a 295-hp V-6 under the hood, it’s nowhere near as effective as the Durango SRT 392 Yet with the brand-new Rallye Look Package, you could at least offer the Durango GT an SRT-inspired look.
Reported today, the Rallye Look Package provides a much more hostile front end, a sportier hood, and LED foglamps. It could not be necessary, yet Dodge says the hood inside story and vents are really functional. If you tow a whole lot, it possibly can’t hurt.
For comparison, the front end of a Dodge Durango SRT 392.
” Most of our clients like the efficiency look of the Durango R/T and Durango SRT, yet enjoy with the prize-winning Pentastar V-6 engine’s 295 horsepower and the excellent fuel effectiveness it supplies,” stated Steve Beahm, FCA’s North American head of auto, in a launch. “This brand-new Durango GT Rallye Look Package offers those three-row SUV buyers the most effective of both worlds.”
The Rallye package is offered to purchase currently for $1,495 and be available in 7 various colors. Considering the Durango GT begins at $38,990 including destination, that brings the base rate of a Rallye-equipped Durango to $40,485.
