The three rows of seats in this big, comfy transporter make sure everyone is taken care of and that everyone has plenty of arm, head and leg room. It can tow just about anything and its 8.4-inch touchscreen allows the driver to safely manage any controls with peace of mind. The nice thing about the new Durango is that it is built to be user friendly.

Friendly it definitely is, so don’t let its muscular appearance and its power fool you into thinking that the Durango is all work and no play.
