While the Dodge Durango is styled like a mini Ram, its abilities aren't shrunken as well. Powered by a standard 210-hp 3.7-litre V6 or an optional 302-hp 4.7-litre V6, the Dakota can haul the greatest loads in this class. Available in either extended or crew cab, with short or long boxes, this Dodge can get the job done. However, poor fuel economy and a cramped interior mean it’s not the best choice in the segment.

Pros

Optional V8 power

Cons

Optional V8 thirst
