If you want a family hauler
that doesn't sacrifice the basic human desire for driving a lean and lethal
road machine, and a large SUV that turns fuel into adrenaline and still hits
that sweet spot of daily driving, then your search is over as Dodge made a true
high-performance SUV this year with it's very popular Durango and named it
SRT.
One is proudly on display with
the friendly folks at Waxahachie Dodge Chrysler Jeep located at 2405 N.
Interstate 35E in Waxahachie, Texas or by calling the dealership at 469.517.0043
and be ready to take your expectations for a spin.
After making other Dodge
siblings with awesome power under their handsome hoods through the years, they
thought why not develop a new Durango for 2018 with mega horsepower. We really can't blame them that it took eight
years since the “proof is in the pudding” as they say. You and yours will agree it was worth the
wait. The main event is what is living
under the Dodge SRT's masculine hood. It
has the very popular Dodge muscle car's 6.5-liter Hemi V8 that will produce 475
anxious horses and an awesome 470 lb-ft of asphalt grabbing torque.
That power is mated with a
smooth shifting eight-speed automatic and an available rear-biased
all-wheel-drive setup that will get you to 60mph in just 4.4 seconds and sound
good doing it. No other large SUV can
touch it and you will miss the jaws dropping as you move so quickly from that
green light. Thankfully, the Dodge SRT
stops just as well as it goes needing just 110 feet to stop from 60 mph.
Other new add-ons for
stability and control include a stiffened and lower suspension; Brembo brakes
on all four wheels, three season tires that keep you planted and the seven
driver-customizable drive modes to assist your SRT in any given condition. Also part of the package is a wide body kit,
leather and a cool performance exhaust system to let your neighbors know you
are coming home. Yes, it will turn heads
as well as corners. Another great plus is that your SRT can tow up to 8600
pounds to haul your big camper or boat to those vacation spots.
For your communication,
entertainment and safety desires, all Durangos have an available 8.4-inch touch
screen that comes with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and other good stuff to make
your time behind the wheel an enjoyable experience. Their highly ranked infotainment system is
straight forward with traditional knobs, buttons and so easy to learn. To further make it a pleasant place to spend
your time, the interior has comfy leather seats, distinctive dashboard and
cockpit, ample storage, abundance of room and all the modern and necessary
accessories you need for the drive times.
On the outside, the Durango SRT styling is aggressive enough without
going overboard. It's clean and sleek
lines come with LED headlights, a big cross-hair grill with a unique hood and a
front end that has extra vents to help cool this monster V8. The rear sports a tailgate with wide red LED
race track designs that really shows up at night. Everything just comes together with Dodges'
new 2018 Durango SRT with its power, comfortable quiet ride and just a joy to
drive and to be seen in.
Hands down, this new addition
to the Durango family is the complete package.
Now couldn't be a better time to check it out with Waxahachie Dodge
Chrysler Jeep and be prepared for an enjoyable experience. Don't dream it...Drive it!
