The 2021 Dodge Durango straddles the line between a car-based crossover and an old-school sport utility vehicle.
It certainly looks rugged like a traditional SUV and boasts heavy-duty towing capabilities, particularly when it’s hiding a big Hemi V8 engine underhood.
But the comfortable ride, space-efficient interior and reasonably good handling afforded by its unibody design means it drives more like a car than truck-based competitors such as the Toyota 4Runner or Chevy Tahoe.
Families with big toys to haul may find the Durango strikes an ideal balance between car and truck, though options like the newly redesigned Ford Explorer and brand-new Kia Telluride may be more comfortable and efficient for everyone else.
