In traffic, a fast-looking car is just as fast as one that actually is. Apply our proverb to the 2018 Dodge Durango GT and out comes an ordinary V-6 crossover dressed a bit like the Hemi-powered SRT, for way less money.
While the SRT’s bulging hood scoop and dual air vents won’t pump the Pentastar 3.6-liter past the stock 295-hp mark, it is the same hood that covers a 475-hp V-8. On the GT, you’ll need to order the Blacktop or Brass Monkey package to snag that hood as an additional option.
The mid-level Durango R/T with the 360-hp 5.7-liter V-8 now gets the SRT’s hood as standard equipment along with that model’s slotted front fascia, functional cold-air intake, and LED fog lights.
The new B5 Blue exterior paint, a bright, 1960s-era Dodge hue, is reserved for Durango R/T and SRT models. All Durangos see more standard equipment come aboard for 2018. The GT features leather-and-microsuede seats and a power liftgate, while the R/T gains front parking sensors. All Durango models receive a standard backup camera, a new steering wheel, and a T-shaped gear shifter to replace the rotary dial. Look for the 2018 Durango later this summer—and take extra care to spot the real SRT.
