For 2014, Dodge bolts its eight-speed automatic transmission into the Durango (replacing last year's five- and six-speed units) and swaps out a traditional shift lever for a rotary controller. Engine choices remain the same, with a 3.6L Pentastar V6 (290 hp) serving as base power, and a 360-hp 5.7L Hemi V8 as the upgrade in Limited trim, and standard in R/T trim. Full-time, fully-automatic all-wheel drive is standard, and an electronically-controlled two-speed transfer case is an option.
