The base SUV will leverage a 3.6-liter V6 and have the moniker GT. It starts at $38,495 and doesn&rsquo;t have many big, new, flashy options to write home about. The Blacktop Redline package is available again with leather and suede upholstery, a performance hood, and red stitching.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/05\/rams-rho-is-no-trx-but-itll-still-eat-raptors-for-breakfast\/\">We Drove The New Ram RHO And Everyone Asked One Thing<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the Blacktop Redline package, it&rsquo;s newly available on the R\/T trim as well. Of course, it&rsquo;ll cost $3,495 on top of the base price of $49,995. Those who select the R\/T get a 5.7-liter V8 that we&rsquo;ve tested and love in this SUV. In addition, the Blacktop Redline package adds 20-inch wheels, SRT spoilers, and unique fender badging.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p>The Tow N Go package returns for 2026 as well for $5,990. It enables a maximum towing capacity of 8,700 pounds while including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/brembo\/\">Brembo<\/a> brake calipers, unique 20-inch wheels, widebody flares, a limited-slip differential, and adaptive damping. With or without these packages, Dodge is refreshing the available wheel options for Durango R\/T customers. Notably, those prices don&rsquo;t include a destination cost of $1,995.<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DG026_002DU-scaled.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image-block\"> <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<p>                    <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"\" alt=\" You Asked For More Hemis, So Durango Delivers For 2026\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1285\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DG026_002DU-1024x514.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>        <\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>In addition to the GT and R\/T, the Durango <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/hellcat\/\">Hellcat<\/a> will return for 2026 as well.
