New 2019 Dodge Durango in Fairbanks, AK

Time after time, we see auto makers forsake power in the name of practicality. The Dodge Durango remains true to the title of sport utility vehicle, offering athletic V8 muscle under the hood. Often referred to as the muscle car of SUVs, the Durango backs up its aggressive exterior design with up to 475 horsepower. The midsize SUV also delivers 8,700-lb. maximum towing capacity on par with that of a full-size truck.

There’s something to be said about the SUV’s rugged appeal as well. The 2019 Durango’s aggressive stance, integrated wheel flares, body-color side rocker panels and racetrack taillamp encompass a certain toughness that sets it apart from the hoard of cookie-cutter SUVs found on the road today.
