At Fair Oaks Chantilly Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in Chantilly, we help shoppers understand how the Durango’s blend of muscle and versatility fits daily life, weekend getaways, and everything in between.
Performance remains the Durango’s calling card. Strong V8 power delivers responsive acceleration for highway merges and passing, while an efficient 8-speed automatic transmission keeps shifts smooth and predictable.

Properly equipped models can tow up to 8,700 pounds, making this SUV a smart match for boats, small campers, and utility trailers. Trailer-friendly gear such as integrated brake control, hitch guidance views, and stability aids can further simplify setup and improve confidence when the load gets heavy.
Inside, the Durango focuses on everyday comfort and intuitive technology. Seating for up to seven is available, with optional second-row captain’s chairs providing easy access to the third row and a more premium feel. Materials and ergonomics support long drives, with thoughtful storage and flexible cargo solutions that handle school runs or warehouse club hauls without drama. Tech highlights include a crisp 10.1-inch touchscreen running Uconnect, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and available premium audio.
