As a Dodge dealer, we often see families opt for a 2023 Dodge Durango. There are plenty of great reasons for this, including its three rows of seating and great infotainment options. Read on for a closer look at its family-friendly features.
1. The Second Row Console
A great family vehicle is a comfortable space for everyone to hang out in, including the backseat passengers. To this end, Dodge has added a second-row center console, available for the Citadel and SRT trims. This console provides passengers with a 115-volt outlet, more USB ports, and their own climate controls.
2. Third Row Seating
The Durango seats up to seven passengers across its three rows of seating. The third-row seats are 60/40 split-folding bench seats, making them easy to fold down when you need to maximize your cargo space. The second row is of a fold-and-tumble design, making it easier for third-row passengers to get inside the car.
When you need to maximize cargo space, the Durango makes it easy. Folding down the second and third-row seats creates a maximum cargo volume of up to 85.1 cubic feet.
3. The Towing Capacity
For 2023, the Durango comes with a best-in-class towing rating. In certain models, the 6.2-liter V8 engine has an impressive maximum towing capacity of 8,700 pounds. This can be achieved with the SRT Hellcat trim with the supercharged V8 engine and available all-wheel drive.
In your standard Durango, you’ll have a powerful V6 engine that can still achieve a maximum towing capacity of 6,200 pounds. This is plenty to handle the needs of most families, whether you’re heading out for a weekend adventure, or moving house.
4. The Roof Rack
Speaking of weekend adventures, the Durango makes it easy to bring along everything you need. If your SUV’s interior is already loaded up, you can find additional cargo space with the available Stow N Place Roof Rack. This creates an easy area to stow another 150 pounds on your next family road trip.
5. The Infotainment System
Modern families rely on great infotainment systems on their family commutes or long road trips. You’ll love the standard 8.4-inch touchscreen in your entry-level Durango. It comes equipped with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, making it easy to connect your familiar smartphone apps. The system also uses Uconnect, providing you with voice command integration.
Growing families need space combined with practical features. The Durango is packed with thoughtful touches that meet these needs and exceed them.
