Trading my GT in for an RT in two weeks. The GT was a wonderful suv for the past two years. But I NEED that hemi.

I love how they improved this vehicle and updated the interior, looks way better than a lot of its competition

Panoramic sunroof would make it perfect

Always liked to look of these. Would like to get into one in a year or two. Hopefully production picks up. New models are sparse in Texas. AWD V8 SUV’s are a lot of fun.

Dude! Definitely the best review done on a Durango RT on all of KZfaq. I’ve made up my mind on the Durango.

At the 5:35 mark, notice the tire pressure of 44 PSI . The Jefferson North plant ships all Bridgestone Ecopia 265mm tires inflated to 44 PSI. Those are used on the Durango and Grand Cherokee trims with the 5.7 Hemi. But the dealerships are REQUIRED to set the tire pressure to 36 PSI as part of prep before the car can be driven in traffic. Otherwise, it's a liability issue because braking distance is compromised with the tires overinflated.

When’s the Hellcat caravan coming? 😂😂

Can’t wait till I get my hands on this 2021 Durango

I was looking at the RT and explorer ST for options for when we move to the snow, after hearing about tons of issues with the Ford I’m steering towards the Durango.

The 88 MPH "highest speed" is the result of testing when the Durango rolled off the assembly line. The Durangos and Grand Cherokees are put through paces before being shipped. The instrument cluster is set to "dealer mode" at the Jefferson North plant. Just before delivery to the customer, the instrument cluster receives a reset, which erases all data gathered during "dealer mode". All the pre-delivery performance statistics... even all the "learned" throttle behaviors are "forgotten" (via the reset) just before delivery to the customer.

I’ve been saving all year for this 2021 model. Next year. It’s on!!!

This car amazing, I love the exterior, it looks super cool!!!!!! What camera are you using to film your videos?

Did you try sitting in 3rd row. There's enough room for a full size adult, compared to highlander ,cx9, explorer. Try it.

Really debating to trade in my challenger for this Durango 😍

Great detailed review!

I think it will be more aggressive on a 2024 Dodge Durango probably a full redesign similar but more angular.

I'm 6'2" and leg room in the 3rd row is not an issue in the Durango. It has the best legroom amongst it's peers.

Hey Ben your videos are Great can you do a review of the Durango R/T with the Tow n Go Package because with the Tow n Go Package there is way more features and a upgraded exhaust

i was in the market for an electric SUV but after this review, i think that can wait another 3 years...any idea what the 2021 RT would lease for ? 3 years, 10-12k miles /yr, $3kdown or so. thanks,

How are you guys liking the rt. I'm picking mine up tomorrow I traded in my 2018 jeep grand Cherokee and first dodge I will ever own

Ford and fca are killing it this year Unlike lazy gm

Does the sunroof come standard with the RT AWD Tow and Go package or do you have to add that?

Man this thing is awesome,fca is awesome, what other auto manufacturers make muscle suvs

Hey Ben, been going back and forth on dodge Durango rt and the explorer st what are the pros and cons of each vehicle and in your opinion is the better choice?

Oh yes my hubby said he is getting me one. I love it. Can’t wait to test drive.

I have 2 RT rangos and ill never own another suv. Cant wait for the new body style. Have you tested the RT in sport mode? Makes a big difference. I also installed the peddle commander and it's night and day.

welcome back shorts!!

I just purchased this! Site unseen! I am so excited to learn more!

I think that if you add the Tow-n-Go package, the RT is definitely a better buy than the Explorer ST, even though the ST is faster off the lot.

this is the one im gonna go w after months of prep i have decide on the 21 Durango RT in destroyer grey

I’m trading in my gt for a RT next October I hope the new body style is nice

Hi..im disapointed about my 2021 rt theres no sunroof and the salesman didnt told me about the tow n go packages.and theres brembo break..i pay like 80k canadian dollar..i bought it brandnew last march 2022 Do.you think theres a way to return this and get the full packages?

I was going to buy a challenger but honestly I have 2 big Belgian shepherds that I want to take on adventures so I think I’m going to go with a Durango rt

I don’t like the head lights but wonder if they fit my 2016🤔

Love the hood great video just subed

What about the 520w amp w sibwoofer Alpine system? Speakers rattle and not really good sound?

I wonder what the ride quality is compared to the 2020 Ram.

It looks too tight in there. Can the seat slide back some? How tall are you?

6:30 headrest fold, just in case u got to knock out ur passenger in the back

Ben when is the redesign coming for the Durango?

Needs panoramic roof and ambient lighting. Does it have heated mirrors and steering wheel?

The main thing that sold the rt over the st was that the explorer has so much plastic on the outside compared to the Durango

Does this car have that auto stop function if so can it be turned off

This beauty i have and im loving it! for SUV with that HP is just ridiculous for the price. i got the black one and interior is damn gorgeous!

Get that tow n go package rt in here

Nice video RT looks clean you think you can do a night review?

Got a 2020. 2021 comes out with bad ass new dash layout unbeknownst to me.

The Durango 3rd Gen has had the crown since it’s birth...

Best auto trans of ANY car/truck

I mean it only really has more towing capacity 🤷‍♀️

Is that the hellcat hood ???

I have a 2020 GT fully loaded it was 62k. I want to trade it so bad for a rt that I regret not buying. I think it would be stupid though because mine runs good has no issues and there’s a speed limit on every road. I’m worried I’ll get one with a bunch of tech issues or something stupid. If I get something new I’ll just add a challenger 392 or a shakedown if I can get my hands on one.

Best SUV ever!

Already watering down the Durango hellcat. Won’t be long before you see V6 trims with all the appearance packages of the SRT models.

Very good car if I would get a car when I am older I would get that but I am getting a truck.

Just bought a 2020 Durango RT Blacktop with Demonic Red Leather. Love the interior refresh for 2021 but similarly trimmed 2021 was going to be easily $15k more. I was shopping the Explorer ST too but there are just way too many horror stories on quality control. Random electrical issues preventing starting up, transmission bugs, interior rattles, etc etc. Not to mention ~$10k more. FCA doesn't have the best rep for reliability but the Durango RT "common" issues are relatively quick fixes under warranty. My $.02: MOST people think they'll care about the extra HP and fancy interior but IMO, most places you drive won't let you use the extra HP, and the sound of that Hemi + badass exterior styling will outlive "bigger touch screen" and "modern air vents".

Does It have wireless Apple car play

Thank you, Ben

Looks remarkable like a grand cherokee 😆😆

Manifesting this car bro

is the acceleration on the tow n go going to be quicker?

1:30 Cool SUV but those tires look very skinny, weird looking.

really nice but price keeps climbing with suttle changes.althou Chrysler has rebates but even so you need 70k canadian to buy this

Why does it sound so wired when starting up????

Well the Durango RT hemi sounds better than the Explorer ST ecoboost engine so…..

🔥🔥🔥

I just have a question is isn't cold for you bc it's about 25° for me

So I've looked all over youtube for somebody to do a review of this SUV where they fold both seats down so I can see cargo space....guess I'll have to keep looking...

@Ben Hardy, do you know if I can get a grand Cherokee 5.7 V8 without it being 4x4. Because I know that on the window stickers it says stuff can be replaced with original equipment. I was just wondering since off roading isn’t really my cup of tea but the grand Cherokee are beautiful IMO.

They still didn't update the seats, they need more bolstering .....

What is the huge difference in the RT and the SRT?

I don’t know what car I like 😭🥲 I need help choosing, Durango or Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Trailhawk, Jeep Srt 😣🥲 it’s so hard

How is the ride quality ? Is it comfortable?

So is it better than the explorer st

Volvo has the headrest fold option.

MSRP?

Nice! I was waiting for his review. I got the 20 RT 3-yr lease and then I heard the 21’s were getting an exhaust 😭

Hopefully they will update the interior of charger soon

that new screen is fire

I should get both 🤔

No the ST is better but the R/T (if you don't look at the ST radio!), however ST also 7k more than the R/T so if you really want better than ST just spend 10k more and get the Durango SRT.

Yes!

can you get a bench seat & no third row that's useless for me thxs ben

The interior/exterior refresh was needed. But they should've increased the HP on that 5.7. Its been 360HP since 2011.

My wife like it except for the look of the rear end

Just picked up a 21 R/T with the Tow & Go package. I also test drove the Ford ST. Too much wind noise and I much prefer the Hemi.

I give Dodge/Ram credit. They are putting out good looking vehicles with lots of wanted tech and good old v8 power. Curious what the new grand Cherokee will look like. Is the Durango and Grand Cherokee still built on the same platform?

Still no power folding side mirrors??!!

What is the fuel octane number on 5.7 hemi?

Kind of deceiving to only say that this model the Black Top Package. The Durango in this video has all the options included. The price with all of that is probably around $60k which is SRT territory.

My mom is getting this car this week

Still no panoramic roof yet 😕 😒 😐

this is a SERIOUSLY nice SUV...been trying to find a "cool" tow vehicle that's not a blue collar pick up truck POS on wheels..... I love how this thing is sleek but is also setup for proper towing...

Nice rental car

This video is a bit frenetic. Could have slowed it down a bit. Remember, you can't just pause a video and checkout the screen like in the old days. The screen will either dim, dim and pop up a bunch of options or show an ad. So the days of rushing thru thinking people can just pause it to examine something are over. For instance, when rushing through the steering wheel features, he failed to note that it has a FLAT bottom wheel. This is not very standard. Some people will love it, some people will hate it, with those in between that just don't care. An inaccuracy here also. He says that you get the Low Range 4WD button because it is an R/T. That is not correct. This vehicle has the Low Range button because it has the TOW PACKAGE. That is not part of the R/T package, at least not in the specs.

Where’s the explorer comparison?

It’s nice but it’s not a practical SUV unless your family wants to go for a drag race. 😂😂😂

I could celebrate my grandchild 90th birthday from When the he touched the screen till it actually changed

There’s nothing special about Ford slapping the “ST” badge on anything other than the focus and fiesta

The rear camera is really that bad...it’s not that you needed to clean it.
