Dodge Durango
The seven-passenger midsize SUV segment is very popular, so finding a way to stand out is of utmost importance. To set itself apart, the Durango, which is normally equipped with a 3.6-litre V6, can be powered by a 6.4-litre V8 HEMI developing 475 horsepower. In addition to being the only vehicle in its class available with a V8 engine, the Durango can also tow up to 8700 pounds (3946 kilograms), which is almost as much as a half-ton pickup.
