While other parents are navigating the morning in standard crossovers, you are behind the wheel of a machine that perfectly balances the necessities of family life with the soul of a muscle car. The 2018 Dodge Durango SRT AWD isnt just a way to get the kids to school in Victorville, CA; it is a statement of performance and capability that transforms every routine errand into an engaging driving experience. Whether you are cruising through the heart of the High Desert or heading out for a family dinner, this SUV provides the space you need without sacrificing the thrill you crave.

Performance & Capability

At the heart of this Durango SRT is a powerhouse designed for those who refuse to compromise. It features a HEMI 6.4L V-8 engine with cylinder deactivation, delivering a massive 475HP. This isn't just about speed; it is about having the confidence to merge onto the freeway or navigate the rolling terrain of the High Desert with ease. The TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic transmission provides seamless shifts, while the Full-time AWD system ensures that power is distributed effectively to all four wheels, offering stability and grip regardless of the road conditions.

The engineering goes deeper than just the engine. This SUV is equipped with a Sport ride suspension featuring Automatic suspension ride control, allowing you to tailor the vehicle's behavior to your specific driving needs. Whether you are looking for a firm, responsive feel for a spirited drive or a smoother setting for a long commute from Hesperia, CA, the driver selectable drivetrain modes put you in total command. Underneath, the Brembo 4-wheel disc brakes with painted calipers provide the stopping power necessary for a vehicle of this caliber, while the electro-mechanical limited slip differential enhances cornering performance. Even with its high-performance nature, the engine includes cylinder deactivation to help manage efficiency during steady-state cruising.

Technology & Connectivity

Inside the cabin, the Durango SRT is a hub of modern connectivity, ensuring that every passenger stays entertained and informed. The Uconnect 4C Navigation Radio with 8.4-inch Display serves as the primary interface, featuring a Garmin integrated navigation system to help you find the quickest routes across the Victor Valley. With Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto integration, your favorite apps, music, and contacts are always at your fingertips.

The technology extends to the rear rows as well, making long trips much more manageable for the whole family. The Rear-Seat Video System includes a Blu-Ray Compatible Dual Screen setup with two 9-inch second-row displays. To keep the peace during travel, the system comes with wireless headphones and an audio-video remote control. Up front, the digital/analog instrumentation display keeps the driver informed of vital vehicle stats, while the 10-speaker audio system with an automatic audio equalizer ensures premium sound quality for every playlist.

Comfort & Interior

The interior of the 2018 Dodge Durango SRT AWD is a masterclass in blending high-performance aesthetics with family-friendly utility. The cabin is adorned with Black Leather front seat upholstery and features High Performance Laguna Leather Seats that provide both support and luxury. On those chilly desert mornings, the heated front seats, heated rear seats, and heated steering wheel provide immediate warmth, while the ventilated driver and front passenger seats keep you cool during the peak of summer.

With a seating capacity of six, the interior layout is designed for accessibility and comfort. The second-row bucket seats offer a premium feel for passengers, and the 3rd row seats feature a split-bench design that can be manually folded into the floor when you need extra cargo space. High-end touches like Real Carbon Fiber Interior Accents and a leatherette upholstered dashboard elevate the environment. Practicality is also prioritized with a Power Liftgate for easy cargo access, triple-zone automatic climate control with separate rear controls, and a 120V AC power outlet to keep devices charged on the go.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Safety is paramount in a vehicle designed to carry your most precious cargo. The Durango SRT is built with a comprehensive network of safety features, including a total of 7 airbags and an airbag occupancy sensor to protect all three rows. The ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera provides a clear view of what is behind you, making it much easier to navigate busy parking lots at local shopping centers.

To assist with daily maneuvers, the ParkSense front and rear parking sensors alert you to nearby obstacles. The braking system is exceptionally robust, featuring Brembo 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS and Brake Assist for maximum control during emergency stops. Additionally, the LED daytime running lights and Auto High-beam Headlights ensure you have the best possible visibility while making yourself more visible to others on the road. The inclusion of Trailer Sway Control also provides added peace of mind when utilizing the vehicle's utility features.

Exterior & Design

The exterior of this Durango SRT is finished in a striking White Knuckle Clearcoat, a color that perfectly highlights its aggressive and muscular stance. It sits boldly on 20-inch Lo-Gloss Black Multispoke Wheels, which are complemented by the body-colored grille and rear lip spoiler. The design is functional as well as aesthetic, featuring Projector beam High-Intensity Discharge headlights and LED front fog lights to pierce through the darkest nights.

Every detail reflects its SRT heritage, from the stainless steel dual exhaust with chrome tailpipe finishers to the body-colored wheel well trim. For those who need to haul extra gear, the Trailer Tow Group IV includes a Class IV Receiver Hitch and a 7 & 4 pin wiring harness, making this SUV as capable as it is beautiful. The power-heated door mirrors with integrated turn signals add both convenience and a touch of modern style to the side profile.
