If your family loves to travel, the 2021 Dodge Durango has everything you need to hit the road with all the essentials in tow. Under the hood, you’ll find a standard 3.6-liter V-6 engine delivering 260 pound-feet of torque and 295 horsepower. This gives you an impressive towing capacity of 6,200 pounds so you could comfortably bring a small camping trailer along. If you have something larger to tow, upgrade to the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8 engine with 640 pound-feet of torque and 710 horsepower. This gives you a towing capacity of 8,700 pounds.

The 2021 Dodge Durango is well-equipped to keep your family safe on the road. It offers a blind-spot monitoring system, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and all-speed traction control. Since rollovers are a concern with some SUVs, this vehicle comes equipped with electronic roll mitigation, which helps prevent rolls before they occur.

This Durango comes standard with seating for five. However, you can increase this to seven with the optional two-seat third row. If you want to keep more space between the kids, captains chairs are available in the second row, leaving you with room for six. You’ll enjoy 17.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row as well as a roof rack that can hold up to 150 pounds of additional luggage.

Fuel efficiency varies with your engine choice. The V6 offers 19/26 mpg with AWD. With a 5.7-liter V8 engine, you’ll get 14/22 mpg. The 6.4-liter V8 delivers 13/19 mpg, and the 6.2-liter V-8 offers 12/17 mpg.

For Growing Families: 2019 Dodge Journey

Though the Dodge Journey is a crossover SUV, it still offers ample space for large families with seating for seven across three rows. The second row even features an integrated booster seat for children between 48 and 85 pounds and between 47 inches and 57 inches tall. When you fold all the seats down, you’ll have 67.6 cubic feet of cargo space, which means you can easily pick up that new crib or other furniture pieces as your family gets bigger.

The Dodge Journey is available with either a 2.4-liter inline-four engine offering 173 horsepower and 166 pound-feet of torque or a 3.6-liter V-6 engine with 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Both have automatic transmission but the 2.4-liter offers just four speeds while the 3.6-liter supports six. Both options offer up to 25 mpg. If you need to tow a camper or trailer, you’ll have a capacity of 1,000 pounds with the 2.4-liter engine and up to 2,500 pounds with the 3.6-liter.

The 2019 Dodge Journey provides plenty of safety features to keep your family safe including electronic roll mitigation and electronic stability control. This model has over 40 safety and security features available in total, with different combinations included at various trim levels.

For a Stylish Commute: 2021 Dodge Charger

Smaller families that are looking primarily for a convenient daily driver to get to work and school will love the comfort and power of the 2021 Dodge Charger. This vehicle comes standard with a 3.6-liter V-6 engine that delivers 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque.

The Dodge Charger gets 19 mpg city and 30 mpg highways with its V-6 engine. The supercharged V-8 engines offer 12 mpg city and 21 mpg highway. This vehicle is designed for a smooth ride and outstanding handling. The kids won’t have any bumps in the road to complain about in this sleek vehicle. With 104.7 cubic feet of passenger space, there’s more than enough room for adults in the front and kids in the back.

Safety features in the Dodge Charger include full-speed forward collision warning with active braking, adaptive cruise control, lane sense departure warning with lane keep assist, and blind spot monitoring. The vehicle even offers a ParkView rear back-up camera that you can view on the 8.4-inch touch screen. These features can make this an excellent car for introducing new drivers to the road as well.

For Busy Soccer Moms and Dads: 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan

The spacious 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan is just the thing for soccer moms and dads who are always on the go. The Dodge Caravan can seat up to seven. Equipped with Stow ‘n Go seating, this vehicle offers easy customization.

There’s 31.1 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, but this expands to 78.9 cubic feet if you only need the second row seats. For hauling large items, you can fold down both back rows and enjoy 140.3 cubic feet of space. Opting for a minivan like the Grand Caravan instead of an SUV gives you convenient sliding doors that make it easier for kids to pile out safely without the risk of dinged doors.

Under the hood, you’ll find a 3.6-liter V6 engine delivering 283 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. This offers 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway.
