Its 6.4L HEMI V8 engine launches 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, runs a NHRA certified Quarter-Mile in just 12.9 seconds and can tow up to 8,700 pounds. Hands down, the Durango SRT 392 AWD is a superb road machine with handling, cornering and braking capability to match its power and quickness.
So, why would I want to be able to do all of that? Because I can.
Recently, Dodge sent us at 2019 Dodge Durango SRT 392 AWD to remind us to tell you that you can too.

Powertrain
The powerful performance capability of the SRT rests primarily under its performance hood where the 6.4L HEMI ‘392’ V8 engine blasts out 475 horsepower with 470 lb.-ft. of torque through the paddle shifter equipped and tuned 8-speed automatic transmission and AWD system that power the 20-inch performance rubber on the road.
Driver control of the power Is managed through the SRT Seven-Mode Drive System featuring STREET, SPORT, TRACK, SNOW, TOW, VALET and ECO settings. Six of the mode setting are tuned to maximize the performance of a SRT 392 Durango in each situation.

Its unique SRT Performance Pages Apps system – through the Uconnect system – monitors and records multiple combinations of performance elements of the power train and the vehicle as desired. Easy to learn and awesome to use, an ordinary driver can validate themselves as a performance driver in a short time.
Included is a LAUNCH control feature for the SRT that enables the driver to optimize spool up and brake release for lightening quick run times. You know you are getting pretty good if you are hitting 0-60 mph in the low 5-second area (we are still working on that).

That ‘seventh’ Drive Mode is the ‘VALET’. Instead of optimizing performance, it sets the powertrain to mimic a Pentastar V6 discouraging a valet from going joy-riding while you are at lunch.
OK, since you ask – fuel economy is not the top feature of a Durango SRT 392. On an Austin/Dallas round trip – pedal down and running 75-80 mph most of the trip – we got a whopping 14.9 mpg. Actually, better than we expected.

2019 Durango R/T AWD as an option
If your pay grade is not quite up to the near $80K for an SRT 392 AWD, we suggest looking at the Durango R/T HEMI V8 AWD (MSRP $46,595) and save almost $17,000.
Durango R/T – powered by the legendary 5.7L HEMI V8 – delivers 360 horsepower with 390 lb.-ft. of torque. Mated to the 8-speed automatic – in AWD – it will perform very well for all except those few serious ‘track wannabe’ types with wallets to match who ‘must’ have the extra horsepower and performance ‘goodies’.
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https://ticket-1994427.inwheeltime.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/20190322_135445-2.jpg” alt=”2019 Dodge Durango SRT” title_text=”2019 Dodge Durango SRT” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”2019 Dodge Durango SRT” _builder_version=”3.23″][/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.27.4″]
You won’t be doing any 4-second sprints or 13-second quarter miles in the R/T, but – lets be real – how often are you going to able to do that anyway?
A Durango R/T Hemi V8 will be every bit as big and nearly as quick and powerful. Physically it has many of the SRT style elements like the bold Octane Red color, performance hood, grille and body fascia, distinctive 20-inch wheels with performance tires and that dual center Sterling Silver metallic striping.
It will be missing the SRT badging and the Dodge SRT tuned exhaust system note, but only you will know.
