SRT basically united the Grand Cherokee SRT's powertrain into this Durango. Intention constrain drops by method for the same pushrod 6.4-liter Hemi V-8, pumping out 475 drive at 6000 rpm and 470 lb-ft of torque at 4300 rpm. ZF's omnipresent eight-speed programmed, alongside an exchange case equipped for fluctuating the torque split between the front and back axles, carries that yield to each of the four wheels. Pirelli 295/45R-20 all-season elastic is standard, however stickier Pirelli P Zero summer tires are discretionary. SRT says the huge 6.4-liter will convey a zero-to-60-mph time of 4.4 seconds and a quarter-mile of 12.9 seconds. Be that as it may, those cases accompany an admonition of NHRA accreditation, so one can just accept those numbers are produced on a high-erosion drag-strip surface, on the grounds that the last Grand Cherokee SRT we tried—which, as per SRT, is 406 pounds lighter than this Dodge—returned times of 4.4 and a 13.0 seconds. Under road conditions, we expect the 5500 or more pound Durango to sprint to 60 in 4.6 seconds on its way to a 13.4-second quarter.
The fastest of General Motors' huge Cadillac Escalade/Chevrolet Tahoe/GMC Yukon SUVs can't approach the execution we anticipate from the SRT Dodge. Purchasers hoping to better the SRT's pace with a three-push SUV should look to more costly choices, for example, the $125,025 Mercedes-AMG GLS63. Undermining pricier rivalry has for some time been the SRT philosophy with its in-house dragsters, and that hasn't changed. Valuing is still to be resolved, yet we anticipate that the Durango SRT will begin just shy of $70,000.

The specialists didn't stop with straight-line execution, spending many laps at Virginia International Raceway pursuing taking care of objectives. To achieve the destinations, the frame engineers introduced updated bushings, marginally stiffer springs, a stouter back against move bar, and versatile dampers for the control-arm front and multilink raise suspensions. Depending what drive mode is chosen (there are eight: Street, Sport, Track, Snow, Tow, Valet, Eco, and an adaptable choice), the dampers change their solidness, and the gooey grip in the exchange case coordinates as much as 70 percent of accessible torque rearward. (That number is in Track mode; in Snow and Tow modes, the front-to-back torque split is 50/50.) The braking equipment is moved up to six-cylinder front and four-cylinder raise calipers snatching 15.0-and 13.8-inch opened rotors.
The 6.4-liter Hemi is tuned to coordinate the Charger SRT 392's soundtrack. Call it throaty, threatening, or blessed by the gods—all are fitting. There is no fake motor music pumping through the stereo here, in spite of the fact that a dynamic clamor scratching off capacity kicks in when the motor changes to fuel-sparing four-chamber mode. That is additionally dynamic in Tow mode, in light of the fact that the heaps on the motor will be more prominent, making a louder lodge that could possibly prompt to driver exhaustion on whole deals. The SRT will tow up to 8600 pounds.
An elegantly spruced-up lodge includes vigorously reinforced containers for the first-and second-push travelers, who sit before one of the most effortless to-get to third columns available. The SRT is entirely a six-seater, and a discretionary second-push support consumes the room of a center seating position. Low-gleam carbon-fiber trim is accessible, and, interestingly, a hand-sewed cowhide dash is on the Durango alternatives list (we anticipate that it will be accessible on non-SRT 2018 Durangos, as well). A configurable TFT screen, which can show every one of the gages one may require, sits between a 180-mph speedometer and coolant-temp and fuel-level gages. Fiat Chrysler's 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment interface is standard.
Outside mods incorporate another hood finish with warmth extractors and a cooling conduit, a lively front sash with a motor air allow over the driver's-side mist light, unobtrusive bumper flares shadowing 20-inch wheels, another back belt with double 4.0-inch tailpipes and a vanity cover for the recipient hitch, and not a touch of splendid trim. The principle grille opening follows Charger-esque lines and conveys a little SRT identification. It's an elegantly executed outside bundle that looks great in both light and dull tints.
The Durango SRT goes discounted in the final quarter of 2017, ideal about when you can anticipate that us will catch one for testing and affirm exactly how rapidly this six-seater can gobble up a quarter-mile.
