Hastings Dodge – Towing Confidence and Tech Savvy: How the 2026 Dodge Durango Delivers for Families around York, NE
When your weekends involve campers, ball games, and gear runs across York, NE, you need a three-row SUV that pulls its weight without sacrificing comfort or connectivity. The Dodge Durango brings a rare one-two punch to the table: properly equipped towing up to 8,700 pounds and a cabin anchored by a 10.1-inch Uconnect touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. That combination of strength and smarts is why families who split time between school pickup and long-haul trips put the Durango at the top of their list.
Start with the towing story. The Durango’s rear-wheel-drive foundation provides stable, confident manners when you attach a trailer, and available all-wheel drive adds traction for slick boat ramps and winter roads. With the right equipment, you can tow up to 8,700 pounds—enough for many midsize campers, fishing boats, or a pair of ATVs. Available rear load-leveling suspension helps maintain a level ride with passengers and cargo on board, and integrated towing aids, including Trailer Sway Control, help keep things composed when crosswinds or uneven pavement show up. The result is a family SUV that tows like it was built for the job because, well, it was.
Inside, the Durango proves that a workhorse can also be a great place to spend time. The 10.1-inch Uconnect screen sits high and within easy reach, so navigating apps or adjusting settings is quick and natural. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto streamline your routine—no cord wrangling required—while available premium audio from Alpine or Harman/Kardon transforms road time into a front-row experience. Thoughtful touches such as available heated and ventilated front seats, optional second-row captain’s chairs, and abundant USB ports keep the whole crew comfortable and charged from York to state park destinations and back again.
Safety and confidence add another layer. Every Durango includes Blind-Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, while available Adaptive Cruise Control and Automated Emergency Braking support your awareness in traffic and on longer highway runs. That means you can enjoy the drive while the vehicle helps watch your flanks and regulate speed and distance, especially useful when towing or traveling with a full cabin.
Is the Durango the right choice for you? If you value strength that shows up every day and technology that never gets in the way, it’s tough to find a more balanced package. Hastings Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram connects local drivers with the right configuration, from tow-ready setups to family-first seating and audio upgrades, serving Aurora, Minden, and York with transparent guidance and convenient online tools to make shopping smooth.
