Durango SRT also has 8700 pound towing capacity. Grand Cherokee SRT can "only" tow 7200. New for 2019 is integrated brake controller for the trailer. No longer is an aftermarket device needed. In Durango, the control is situated just to the right of the ignition switch. You could tell from the video that the Jeep has a panoramic sunroof. Durango does not. Durango has longer wheelbase, so it would tend to ride smoother on pavement, but it can't match Jeep off-road because the Durango's wheelbase hurts attack and exit angles. This is why Durango is billed as "light off-road". Durango also has closer-to-50/50 weight distribution for better cornering than Grand Cherokee. Jeep is a bit front-heavy. Ironically, the Jeep weighs just about the same as the Durango despite being smaller. On dry pavement, you can barely tell the difference. But wet pavement, you'll feel understeer with the Jeep. The Durango is neutral. For 2019, Durango SRT did away with Beats and H-K is an option. BTW - He keeps mentioning the Durango SRT as "7-seat". It only seats seven with the second row bench seat. Be careful when ordering. I believe the default for SRT Durango are the second row captain's chairs. When equipped with captain's chairs, Durango is six-seater. What counts are the number of belts. Only two belts in the third row of any Durango. So if you need to seat seven, be sure to check with your dealer about availability of the bench second row. If you get the bench second row, I think full leather becomes unavailable and you have to take suede inserts. Double-check with your dealer. I got conflicting information on this and that might be because Dodge made some changes recently, even since rolling out the 2019s. Also for 2019, Durango offers a no-cost third-row elimination that gives you a few more cubic feet of storage under the deck. Deck height remains the same. But the cavity that holds the third row becomes available for stowage. It is split in half, left/right. This is for folks who'd normally remove the third row anyway. Durango is not a mini-van. The third row is not meant to be removed from the vehicle and re-installed by the customer. It requires tools. You can do it, if you're handy. But it's not "convenient". So they make the no-third-row option available from the factory. Despite being an FCA dealer, I find this fellow to be remarkably candid and honest about the products, even their drawbacks. I have zero idea of how he negotiates a deal. That's not what I'm saying. All I'm saying is that he strikes me as one (of few) salesfolks who would not overrepresent what his vehicles can do.

Minor correction: Integrated trailer brake controller is situated BELOW the ignition switch on Durango. I had meant to say it was located to the right of the steering wheel.

@grimreaper9477 4 жыл бұрын

Do u know which one would be better on plot holes and bad city roads? i mean u would feel less of the bumpy ride and rattling

@TheCondoInRedondo 4 жыл бұрын

If you are moving from a smaller vehicle to the Durango or Grand Cherokee (or just about any of the larger SUVs) you'll be very pleased with how the large diameter tires cross over potholes. That said, the SRT versions of Durango and Grand Cherokee have very stiff sport suspensions for high speed handling. These suspensions are not ideal for rough city streets where winter chews up the asphalt. But if you want a Durango or Grand Cherokee and don't need the high performance SRT versions, then buying a Durango or Grand Cherokee in a less-expensive trim actually helps you with a softer ride because of the comfort-tuned suspensions, plus the use of 18-inch alloy wheels instead of 20-inch wheels. The tire diameter is the same. But the smaller wheels means that there is more rubber to absorb the punishment of the pavement. Of the two, the Durango would offer a slightly better ride because of its longer wheelbase than Grand Cherokee. Keep in mind that (with just about any new SUV) the car will ride more stiffly for the first 2000-3000 miles. You won't get optimum comfort until the car's suspension is "broken in".

TheCondoInRedondo thanks for the in depth response ... have you tried this current gen or last gen yukon denalis or escalades? (The regular ones not the xl) If so how do they hold up in terms of plot holes / ride quality? I live in an area with terrible roads and speed bumps

@TheCondoInRedondo 4 жыл бұрын

Those are completely different beasts. Grand Cherokee, Durango, Ford Explorer, Chevy Traverse are all unibody construction. You will feel potholes more in any unibody style vehicle. The Yukon, Escalade, Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator are all body-on-frame vehicles. That means they're built upon truck suspensions with the body isolated from the undercarriage. That definitely helps dampen the potholes. Now, they're also much heavier vehicles. But they are also roomier inside (wider) than the unibody SUVs I listed at the beginning of this post. Those body-on-frame vehicles are not as much fun to drive because they drive more like trucks than sports sedans. But they are more rugged than the unibody types. The Expedition and Navigator (in my opinion) are much better built than Yukon or Escalade. If you're on a budget, give the Expedition a test drive. It's not as expensive as the Navigator. But they're built upon the same platform, just like the Yukon and Escalade share the same platform. The problem with Yukon and Escalade is that their platform is quite old now. There is one other point to keep in mind. Durango, Grand Cherokee, Explorer and Traverse will be easier to park in tight spaces than Yukon, Escalade, Expedition or Navigator. The first four models are not just narrower, they're also shorter. Jeep will be introducing the Wagoneer soon. That will be body-on-frame, intended to compete against Yukon, Escalade, Navigator and Expedition.

I just went through the buying process between these 2. I ultimately went with the Durango SRT and I’m far from disappointed. Looks, sounds and feels waaayy more aggressive. The driving experience alone is way better in the Durango. The Jeep is fancier but it’s too subdued. Feels like it’s being held back power wise. The interior of the Durango is superb if you get the premium interior option and leather seats. I’m glad I went with the Durango. I’m a prior Jeep SRT owner as well.

That's funny, I totally agree with you! I've had multiple jeep grand cherokee SRT 's and one trackhawk. I traded them both in for a durango hellcat and I still love the jeep, but the durango is very impressive for a 3 row suv! Not disappointed at all by my purchase.
