What kind of performance do you expect out of your next SUV? One that exhilarates your morning commutes? One that energizes you when you miss your morning cup? One that helps the miles fly by? No matter what your expectations, the Durango and the Pilot will exceed them.
The Honda Pilot kicks off strong thanks to its standard V6 engine that produces 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. This is a lot of power; however, the Dodge Durango doubles it. The Durango can be equipped with one of four powertrains:
- 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine: 295 horsepower
- Available 5.7L HEMI® V8 engine: 360 horsepower
- Available 6.4L HEMI® V8 engine: 475 horsepower
- Available Supercharged 6.2L HEMI® V8 engine: 710 horsepower
The Dodge Durango has the most powerful engine, and it has more engines overall, which means you can satisfy the performance you crave with ease.
More power under the hood means more brute strength. When properly equipped, the Dodge Durango achieves a best-in-class 8,700-pound maximum towing capacity! Pair this figure with your favorite towable toy, and your next adventure will go off without a hitch!
On the flip side, the Honda Pilot puts out a valiant figure as well: 5,000 pounds, to be exact! Although this is an impressive figure, you’ll have more options to tow in the Durango thanks to its larger towing capacity.
With adventure, comes a crowd. With a crowd, comes gear. With gear, you’re going to need a lot of space. Good thing the Dodge Durango and the Honda Pilot have it in spades. Plus, either model makes it easy to store away your necessities without putting in extra effort.

On top of more available space in the Durango, you’ll also have the available class-exclusive Stow N Place® Roof Rack System to carry your bikes, cargo boxes, and more! This system can hold up to 150 pounds! On the other hand, the Honda can be outfitted with roof rails.
Getting your cabin ready for cargo is easy in the Dodge and the Honda. Both models have 60/40 split-folding third-row bench seats that open plenty of space for weekend getaway gear.
