What's the real-world 0-60 mph time of the Dodge Durango?
Going by the user-submitted 0-60 videos of the Dodge Durango above, you can expect anywhere between 3.9 to 6.78 seconds 60 mph time. The 60 mph time is also heavily dependent on your skill as a driver, and ambient and vehicle conditions.
How Can I Get the best 0-60 mph in my Dodge Durango?
Things like adjusting tire pressure, testing at night when temps are cooler, and removing excess stuff from the car could improve the 0-60 mph time.
You should also warm up the tires and do the runs with the least amount of fuel possible, to reduce unsprung mass. The SRT variants of Durango have a feature built-in that allows you to adjust the launch rpm (max is about 3000 rpms).
You can play with revs until you find the sweet spot without any wheelspin off the line.
Always test 60 mph on closed courses using proper safety gear.
What can I do to make my Dodge Durango go quicker?
The MOPAR and Dodge Power Brokers offer a ton of street-legal factory-backed mods for Durango, primarily intakes and exhausts. You can check them out. Rummaging through forums, it looks like these kits can provide anywhere up to 30-40 hp gain over the stock motor.
What Are some of the quicker Dodge Durango alternatives?
That supercharger whine is an essential part of the Hellcat experience which no other carmaker can answer. Twin Turbo European rivals like the BMW X7 M60, AMG GLS, and Audi RSQ8 offer much more fast but not-so-furious performance,
