If you prefer to own an SUV that will other vehicles in its dust, then you need to set your sights on the 2021 Dodge Durango R/T. Compared to the 2021 Ford Explorer XLT, this particular trim uses a much more powerful engine to deliver a stellar performance on the streets of BC. You can even take one home with you today after a quick visit with our agents at O’Connor Chrysler.
Â
Rumbling under the hood of the Dodge Durango R/T is a robust 5.70litre HEMI V8 motor. Delivering 360 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque, it comes equipped with AWD and a smooth-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission. As for towing, it has a limit of 3,356 kg (7,400 lbs), which is one of the highest capacities in its class on the market.
Â
On the other hand, the competing Ford Explorer XLT uses a much smaller 2.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder unit. Producing only 300 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque, it is coupled with RWD and a 10-speed automatic transmission. Not only does that make it less friendly to off-roading adventures, but it also provides you with a significantly lower pulling ability. It can haul 2,404 kg (5,300 lbs).
