Jones Dodge - Tow ’n Go Towing Confidence for Family Weekends around Glen Burnie, MD — 2026 Dodge Durango Spotlight

When your weekend plans call for a family boat run from Curtis Bay to the mouth of the Patapsco, the Durango’s available Tow ’n Go Package turns Maryland’s waterways into an easy routine. With Best-in-Class available towing up to 8,700 pounds when properly equipped, the HEMI® V8 models deliver muscle backed by smart, confidence-inspiring tech. Brembo® brakes supply firm, consistent pedal feel when descending to marinas, Bilstein® active damping helps settle the chassis with a trailer in tow, and configurable drive modes let you tailor responses to Tow, Snow, Sport, or Track. The result is an SUV that doesn’t just tow—it keeps your trailer composed, your steering precise, and your passengers comfortable.

The details matter when the family’s buckled in and the cooler’s loaded. The Durango’s available integrated trailer brake controller is placed within easy reach, so you can fine-tune trailer braking for smooth, predictable stops. Trailer Sway Control uses selective brake application and throttle input to help stabilize your rig if crosswinds or uneven pavement try to unsettle it on MD-10 or I-695. For situational awareness at ramps and parking lots, ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera with dynamic guidelines and available Blind Spot Monitoring with Trailer Tow Detection help you spot cars, pedestrians, and obstructions beside your trailer. The cabin stays in command with the 10.1-inch Uconnect® 5 touchscreen, which supports customizable user profiles—perfect if you and your partner prefer different towing screens, performance pages, or map layouts.

• Best-in-Class capability: Available Tow ’n Go Package on HEMI® V8 models offers up to 8,700 pounds of maximum towing when properly equipped.
• Stability built in: Bilstein® active damping, electronic limited-slip rear axle, and Trailer Sway Control work to keep trailer motion in check.
• Confident braking: Brembo® calipers and an integrated trailer brake controller support smooth, composed stops.
• Driver-tailored modes: Switch between Tow, Snow, Sport, or Track to match road and load.
• Visibility assist: ParkView® camera and available Blind Spot Monitoring with Trailer Tow Detection support tight maneuvers.

Inside, family-first utility pairs with the kind of muscle that’s rare in three-row SUVs. Over 50 seating configurations and up to 85.1 cubic feet of cargo space mean rods, life jackets, and inflatables fit without guesswork. Available heated front seats and heated steering wheel take the edge off dawn launches, while the available Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System turns the drive home into a concert encore. Uconnect® 5’s wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ keep playlists and navigation just a tap away, and the system’s quick response and clean menus make it simple to glance and go so you can keep your eyes on the road.

Which Durango should boaters choose? If your runabout or small cabin cruiser pushes heavier weights, look to a 5.7L HEMI® V8 model equipped with Tow ’n Go for stout torque, chassis upgrades, and the cooling and hardware built for serious trailering. If your gear is lighter—think personal watercraft and compact utility trailers—the V6 still shines with strong V6 towing when properly equipped and the same thoughtful tech that eases ramp duty. Either way, AWD availability adds peace of mind when rain slicks the asphalt or sand lingers on the incline after a busy afternoon.

Ready to plot your first Tow ’n Go weekend? Jones Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, serving Parkville, Owings Mills, and Glen Burnie, can help you pair the right Durango configuration with your trailer specs, discuss available hitch and wiring options, and walk you through driver-assist features that matter most on narrow launch ramps and crowded lots. Bring your measurements and we’ll talk payload, tongue weight, and which mirrors, stripes, or wheels will make your Durango both capable and uniquely yours. When family time depends on confident towing, the Durango’s available Tow ’n Go Package puts all the right pieces together—so your biggest decision is whether to head north or south once you clear the marina.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I need premium fuel when towing with the SRT® Hellcat?

Yes. SRT® Hellcat models with the Supercharged 6.2L HEMI® V8 require premium gasoline for optimal performance whether towing or driving unhitched.

How do I know if my trailer is within limits?

Check your Durango’s door-jamb labels and owner’s information for maximum towing, tongue weight, and payload. Match those figures to the trailer’s GVWR and loaded weight.

Is AWD helpful for boat ramps?

Available AWD improves traction on wet, sandy, or algae-coated ramps, helping you maintain steady control while pulling up from the water.

Can I see my trailer in the backup camera?

ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera provides a wide view with dynamic guidelines; position your hitch within the lines to align quickly, then verify clearances with mirrors and a spotter.
