The Durango is that muscle SUV that needs no introduction. It strikes the much-needed balance between family hauling and fun. With diverse engine options ranging from a naturally-aspirated V6 to radical supercharged V8s, the Durango is not your regular three-row mid-size SUV.
The Dodge SUV comes in various trim levels with exciting engine options, outstanding towing capacity, and high-end optional packages. This article compares the GT Plus and R/T trim for shoppers looking to lease a budget-friendly 2023 Dodge Durango.

It adds desirable features like a larger center display with an upgraded infotainment system, leather upholstery, power sunroof, etc. Beneath its hood is the standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with 295 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque.
