2025 Dodge Durango Trim Levels

The 2025 Dodge Durango packs a serious punch, mixing raw muscle with family-friendly flexibility and style. This SUV lineup covers all bases, offering daily drivers, tire-scorching performance monsters, and more. At Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, we can explain what makes each trim special, helping you find one that fits your life.

Key Features Across All Trims

All Dodge Durango models use the smooth TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission and feature a 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 system. Most seat seven people, though the SRT Hellcat variants fit six for a sportier feel. While the base GT offers rear- or all-wheel drive (AWD), all the other trims come with AWD as standard. Across the range, the Dodge Durango fuel tank size is 24.6 gallons.

An In-Depth Analysis of Each 2025 Dodge Durango Trim

Dodge doesn’t mess around with options, and the 2025 Durango offers ten flavors. They are the GT, GT Plus, R/T, R/T Plus, R/T Premium, R/T 20th Anniversary Plus, R/T 20th Anniversary Premium, SRT Hellcat Hammerhead, SRT Hellcat Silver Bullet, and SRT Hellcat Brass Monkey. Each brings something different to the table, from mild to wild, so there’s bound to be one that clicks with how you drive and what you need.

The GT and GT Plus: Performance and Luxury Upgrades

The 2025 Dodge Durango lineup has dropped the SXT trims, with the GT and GT Plus now taking the entry-level spots. The GT starts strongly with cloth seats, eight-way power-adjustable heated front seats, and three-zone climate control. Music comes through a six-speaker Alpine system, while blind-spot monitoring and LaneSense watch your back when traffic gets dicey.

Jump to the GT Plus, and you’re sitting pretty on leather seats with ventilation to keep you cool when summer hits hard. The sound gets better too, with nine speakers filling the cabin. The power liftgate makes loading groceries or sports gear a breeze. Safety gets a boost with forward collision warning — a little insurance for those distracted moments we all have. If you’re torn between these two trims, ask yourself if leather seats and a few extra perks are worth the price bump.

Both GT models use a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6, producing 295 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 260 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. This performance gives you a maximum towing capacity of 6,200 pounds. Fuel economy impresses: The GT rear-wheel drive achieves 19 mpg in the city, 26 mpg on the highway, and 21 mpg combined. The AWD versions get 18 mpg city/25 mpg highway/21 mpg combined. Each trim has distinct wheels and badges.

The R/T, R/T Plus, and R/T Premium: Sport and Thrill

If you find V-6s lacking, the R/T family will meet your desires with its growling 5.7-liter HEMI V-8. All versions deliver 360 horsepower at 5,150 rpm and 390 lb-ft of torque at 4,250 rpm, enough for smiles and 7,200 pounds of towing capacity. Fuel economy hits 14 mpg on Broken Arrow’s streets, 22 mpg on the highway, and 17 mpg combined, which is decent for this much power.

The R/T features responsive steering, a sport suspension for nimble handling, and an aggressive hood. Wireless phone charging comes standard. The R/T Plus boasts a premium Harman Kardon audio system and nappa leather seats with cooling.

The Citadel badge is gone for 2025, but the R/T Premium picks up the luxury torch and runs with it. It tops the R/T range with a 19-speaker Harman Kardon system, carbon fiber accents, and a hand-wrapped dashboard worthy of luxury vehicles. From the outside, subtle styling cues set it apart from lesser models — just enough flash without going overboard. If you want luxury that can still haul, the R/T Premium delivers. Each step up in the R/T family adds refinement without losing the fun-to-drive spirit.

The R/T 20th Anniversary Plus and R/T 20th Anniversary Premium: Power and Precision Dissected

Dodge has axed the SRT 392 for 2025, bringing in the R/T 20th Anniversary editions instead. They feature the same 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine as the rest of the R/T range. The Plus variant may lack some of the Premium’s luxury enhancements (the former’s nine-speaker Alpine sound system comes up against the latter’s 19-speaker Harman Kardon), but they’re both worth celebrating. Their adaptive damping suspension reads the road 1,000 times per second to give you comfort when cruising and firmness when pushing hard. It’s like having two SUVs in one.

These birthday specials also throw in a high-performance exhaust that sounds as mean as hell and helps squeeze out extra power. The stopping force comes from serious Brembo brakes that haul you down from speed like dropping an anchor. Dodge has also tuned the steering for a quick response, making these big SUVs feel surprisingly nimble. Look closer and you’ll spot special badges and paint options that nod to the Durango’s HEMI-powered 20-year run.

The SRT Hellcat Lineup: The Ultimate in Power

The SRT Hellcat Hammerhead, SRT Hellcat Silver Bullet, and SRT Hellcat Brass Monkey rule the Durango lineup. All three pack a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8 with 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque. This family SUV hits 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and can tow a huge 8,700 pounds. Fuel economy sits at 12 mpg in the city and 17 mpg on the highway. It’s not great, but you aren’t shopping for efficiency as a Hellcat buyer.

Each model sports its unique paint and wheels that grab attention. Laguna leather seats hold you tight, while the SRT Performance Pages app lets you tweak settings. Track-ready features include launch control, Quadra-Trac four-wheel drive to manage all that power, and competition-tuned suspension that keeps these big SUVs planted in corners. Brembo brakes provide serious stopping power. The SRT Hellcats are practical family vehicles Monday through Friday and sports car hunters on weekends.

The Power and Versatility of the 2025 Dodge Durango

Whether you need a comfy family hauler in the GT, a bit more punch in the R/T models, or full-on insanity with the SRT Hellcats, there’s a flavor for every taste and budget. Each move up the ladder adds more goodies, power, and grin-inducing fun. The beauty of the Durango is how it refuses to make you choose between practicality and performance — you really can have both.
