Available at the Seattle Dodge dealers during the fourth quarter of 2010, 2011 Durango features two engine options: the standard fuel-efficient 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine and the available 5.7-liter HEMI engine with fuel-saving, Multi-displacement system (MDS) four-cylinder mode. Both engines feature variable-valve timing (VVT) and are available with all-wheel drive.

When equipped with the HEMI® V-8, the all-new Durango can tow more weight than a 24-foot boat and trailer.
