The 2026 Dodge Durango gets a more powerful V8 in its R/T version, creating the new R/T 392 Launch Edition with 475 horsepower. Introducing a genuinely more powerful V8 trim at a time when most competitors are shifting toward electrification is a deliberate statement — Dodge is doubling down on combustion performance for buyers who specifically want that, rather than following the industry trend uniformly.
A 'Launch Edition' designation typically signals a limited initial production run with distinct trim details, aimed at buyers who want to be among the first to own the updated model before it becomes broadly available.
Full pricing and availability should be confirmed through Dodge's official US dealer network.
