No major changes for 2019.Newly optional 19-speaker Harman Kardon stereo.With its aging platform, the 2019 Dodge Durango remains the stubborn outlier in the ever more car-based three-row SUV segment, offering not just a healthy V6 engine but two stout V8s, class-leading towing capacity and muscle-car styling cues.

Pros
Third-row seats are surprisingly spacious
Large touchscreen tech interface is one of the best in class
Towing ability is exceptional for the class
Has real off-road capabilities with 4WD and low-range gearing

Cons
Fuel economy is below average, especially with the V8
Bigger and bulkier to drive than rival crossovers
