Dodge Durango Curb Weight: 4,987 lbs to 5,331 lbs

With a 5.7L HEMI V8 with Trailer Tow Group configuration, the 2027 Durango is rated to pull 8,700 lbs — 1.6 times the 5,331 lbs the heaviest recorded truck weighs by itself, and 1.7 times the 4,987 lbs of the lightest.

That rating belongs to the 5.7L HEMI V8 with Trailer Tow Group build, not to every truck on this page: a 4dr SUV AWD V8 starts 344 lbs deeper into the combined rating than a 4dr SUV AWD V6 before a trailer is coupled.

The towing figure on file is for 2027; the weights above are 2026 records.

At 56/44, the 4,987 lbs puts about 2,793 lbs on the front axle and 2,194 lbs on the rear — 599 lbs more over the front wheels, which is what front tires and front brake pads wear against first.

The two axles are not the same width either: 63.8 in of track at the front against 64.2 in at the rear, 0.4 in narrower in front.

The published 24.6-gallon tank holds about 150 lbs of gasoline at 6.1 lb per gallon, and curb weight is measured with it full. Run it to empty and the 4dr SUV AWD V8 is effectively a 5,181 lbs vehicle — 2.8% of the figure quoted above is fuel you will burn off.

At 4,987 lbs the Durango sits within 51 lbs of the 5,038 lbs median for the 81 vehicles EPA files under Standard Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD, with 41 of them heavier.

All 12 model years from 2015 to 2026 are filed at 5,331 lbs, so the model year on a listing does not change the figure.
