Everything You Need to Know About The Dodge Durango Hellcat

Where else can the Dodge brand stuff a Hellcat engine?  How about they put that gem in the engine bay of a Dodge Durango.  That’s right, for the first time ever, the Durango will receive the Hellcat treatment and be offered with one of the most powerful engines in the market.  The massive 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8 will find its way under the hood of this impressive SUV to give us an incredible 710 horsepower coming out of the engine to give us one of the most powerful SUVs ever made.

Let’s take a look at some things you should know before selecting this version of the Dodge SUV you love to drive.

<h2>This SUV Has Power to Rival Some Supercars</h2>

The engine is incredible; it takes the power offered and pushes it to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission to make it possible to rocket this amazing machine down the road quickly.  You might want to spend some time at the track with this Durango that has 710 horsepower and 645 lb.-ft. of torque. You can reach sixty mph in 3.4 seconds and continue driving on your way to a top speed of 180 mph.

<h2>What to Do With All that Power</h2>

You probably won’t spend a ton of time on the track with the Dodge Durango Hellcat, but you could.  Even so, if you want this SUV to do things that we’ve expected the Durango to do since it first arrived in 1998, this SUV can tow plenty behind it.  This Durango can tow up to 8,700 pounds and make it easy for you to pull a heavy trailer behind it.  Get ready for some fun at your campground with an SUV that has massive power and towing capacity.

<h2>The AWD System Adjusts to Your Needs</h2>

At no point during your time behind the wheel of this Dodge SUV will you have a 50/50 split of the power from the AWD system  This system is a performance-tuned system that allows you to select the mode you want to use during your drive to give you the right power split.  The Auto Drive Mode gives you a 40/60 front to rear split of the power, while the Sports Mode gives you a 35/65 split of the power.  Go to the track and put this SUV in Track Mode, which brings you a 30/70 separation of power for this vehicle.

<h2>An Amazing Interior Awaits You</h2>

This Dodge Durango is at the top of the trim list, giving you the Hellcat emblems in the Nappa leather upholstery covering the heated and ventilated seats.  You’ll find a 10.1-inch infotainment screen in the center of the dashboard, giving you the Uconnect 5 system.  There are still some buttons to give you the touch inputs you want when adjusting the climate controls. Everything about this interior area is made to be driver-centric, giving you all of the controls you want right where you can reach them.

<h2>The Dashboard isn’t the Only Place Where You’ll Find Technology</h2>

You’ll find a ton of tech items in the Hellcat Dodge Durango when you want to take this SUV out on the road.  You’ll experience an impressive navigation system, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and a ton of items that come in the technology group.  This package gives you lane departure warning, full-speed forward collision warning plus advanced brake assist, and adaptive cruise control.  These items help you have the safety and alerts you’re looking for when you use this SUV to make it the vehicle you choose to drive every day.

<h2>Take Everyone Along for the Ride</h2>

There is an option in the Dodge Durango Hellcat that allows you to put a third-row of seats in the bac to have room for you to take a total of six people out on the road with you.  That means your whole family can ride along in comfort and style when you take this Hellcat SUV out for a ride.  Of course, it could be much more fun for you to take a few friends along and enjoy everything this SUV can do when you take it out on the trails.

<h2>Admire the Amazing Look of this Incredible SUV</h2>

This new version of the Durango gives you a revised front end with slimmer headlights that make it look more modern than models from the past.  You’ll love the SRT front fascia that gives you a performance hood, a high airflow grille, and a lip spoiler.  In the rear, you’ll see a pair of exhaust ports and a rear spoiler that helps you enjoy the fun this SUV offers on the track.  That spoiler adds 150 pounds of additional downforce when you get this SUV up to its top speed.  You’ll also admire the amazing 20-inch wheels, integrated Hellcat badges, and the choice of 11 different metallic paint colors.

<h2>Feel an Amazing Ride in this Dodge</h2>

Experience the fun of driving the Dodge Durango Hellcat, which brings you springs that work great and help you have the drive you’re looking for.  Often, the springs of a performance SUV are stiffened to the point that you feel a harsh ride, which isn’t what you’re looking for.  The performance is tuned to give you minimal body lean in the corners and give you the drive that makes sense when you take this SUV out on a canyon run.

<h2>Only So Many Will be Built</h2>

The Hellcat version of this Dodge SUV will only be available to 2,000 customers.  Once these models are gone, that will be it.  No more Hellcat Durango models will be made, and the order books will be closed for good.  Not all of the models will be sold through the order system; some will be offered at dealers to give some shoppers to find them there when it’s time for a test drive.  Of course, those will likely be sold quickly, so don’t wait; if you’re looking for one of these amazing SUVs, you’ll want to be ready to grab it when it’s available to you.`
