HOW TO WINTERIZE A CAR

The 2026 Dodge Durango moves to an all V8 lineup, headlined by the returning R/T 392 Launch Edition and a new customizable SRT Hellcat Jailbreak trim. Prices for the 2026 Durango span from $40,000 for the GT up to around $80,000 for the SRT Hellcat. With up to 710 horsepower, a 3.5 second 0-60 time on the SRT Hellcat, and 8,700 pounds of towing capacity, it offers real performance in a seven passenger SUV. The 2026 Dodge Durango three row SUV blends muscle car attitude with real family practicality, and this year's changes make it a more exciting option than ever. This is a vehicle for drivers who want genuine performance without giving up seating for seven, serious towing capability, and everyday usability. Families who tow campers or boats, drivers who grew up loving Mopar muscle, and anyone who wants an SUV with real personality will all find something to love here. 2026 Dodge Durango Overview What's new for 2026 is a big deal for Durango fans: Dodge dropped the standard four cylinder alternative entirely and moved to an all V8 lineup (aside from a limited run of V6 GT models available for a short ordering window). The biggest headline is the return of the R/T 392 Launch Edition, which brings the 6.4 liter HEMI V8 back to the Dodge Durango for the first time since the old SRT 392 model. Dodge also introduced a new SRT Hellcat Jailbreak trim that opens up millions of paint, badge, and interior combinations, plus a limited America250 Anniversary Edition with patriotic styling to mark the occasion. Fresh exterior colors, including the revived B5 Blue and the all new Green Machine, round out the changes. HEMI Performance Every 2026 Dodge Durango trim is built around HEMI V8 power. The GT starts with a 5.7 liter V8 producing 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque, giving buyers who want V8 character an accessible entry point into the lineup. Step up to the R/T 392 and you get the 6.4 liter HEMI, delivering 475 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque along with an adaptive damping performance suspension, an electronic limited slip rear axle, and Brembo six piston front brakes. At the top of the range, the 2026 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat brings a supercharged 6.2 liter HEMI V8 that produces 710 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful gas powered SUVs sold today! Towing capability is another strong point. Properly equipped GT HEMI V8 models with the Tow 'n Go package and SRT Hellcat models can pull up to 8,700 pounds. MPG Fuel economy varies quite a bit depending on which 2026 Dodge Durango engine you choose. GT with the 5.7 liter V8 and all wheel drive is EPA rated at roughly 14 mpg city and 21 mpg highway. R/T 392 comes in around 13 mpg city and 19 mpg highway given its extra power. SRT Hellcat, unsurprisingly, is the thirstiest of the bunch at about 12 mpg city and 17 mpg highway. 0-60 MPH Acceleration is where the 2026 Dodge Durango really sets itself apart from other three row SUVs. The GT HEMI V8 gets to 60 mph in about 6.2 seconds, which is already quick for the segment. The R/T 392 Launch Edition cuts that down dramatically, hitting 60 mph in a claimed 4.4 seconds and running the quarter mile at an NHRA certified track in 12.9 seconds. The SRT Hellcat goes even further, launching to 60 mph in roughly 3.5 seconds, thanks to its supercharged output. For buyers who care about how a vehicle feels off the line as much as how many people it seats, these numbers are hard to match in this class. Seven Seater Interior Inside, the 2026 Dodge Durango seats up to seven across three rows, with more than 50 possible seating and configuration combinations depending on trim. Cargo space measures 17.2 cubic feet behind the third row, 43.3 cubic feet behind the second row, and 85.1 cubic feet with the rear seats folded flat. Materials range from cloth on entry trims to available leather seating surfaces, Nappa leather, and even Laguna leather with an embossed American flag on the limited America250 Edition. Higher performance trims add leather and Alcantara suede wrapped SRT performance seats, along with forged carbon fiber interior accents on Jailbreak models. 2026 Dodge Durango interior color choices include options like Demonic Red and black, Hammerhead Gray and black, and Sepia and black. Equipped Technology Dodge equips the 2026 Durango with a 10.1 inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen and a 7 inch digital gauge cluster as standard equipment. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, SiriusXM, and HD radio are also available. Higher trims add wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto along with a wireless charging pad, so plugging in becomes optional rather than required. Audio lovers will want to look at the available 19 speaker Harman Kardon sound system on the SRT Hellcat or the 18 speaker Harman Kardon setup on the R/T 392 Launch Edition Premium. 2026 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat and R/T 392 models also include SRT Performance Pages. This lets drivers track real time performance data like G force, lap times, and launch control settings right from the touchscreen. Safety Features The safety features included on the 2026 Dodge Durango work together to give drivers extra confidence whether they are navigating a busy parking lot or merging on the highway while towing a trailer. Families cross shopping the 2026 Durango against other SUVs will appreciate that these driver assistance features are available across a wide range of trims rather than locked to only the most expensive options. Safety Features On The 2026 Dodge Durango May Include: Blind Spot Monitoring ParkView backup camera Forward Collision Warning Adaptive Cruise Control Lane Departure Warning Plus Advanced Brake Assist 2026 Dodge Durango Price Pricing for the 2026 Dodge Durango starts around $40,000 for the GT with the V6 engine and climbs from there depending on how much power and how many features you want. Buyers who want a HEMI V8 without stepping all the way up to the R/T or SRT Hellcat will find the GT HEMI V8 and GT Plus trims sit comfortably in the low to mid $40,000 range. All in all, you can expect the price of a 2026 Dodge Durango to sit somewhere between $40,000-$82,000. 2026 Durango Price by Trim All prices listed exclude tax, title, license, and dealer fees, so be sure to talk with our team at Lawton Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram for an exact out the door number. GT (V6): $40,995 – this is the most affordable way into a 2026 Durango and the only trim still offered with the fuel friendly V6 engine for buyers who prioritize value over outright power. GT HEMI V8: $47,275 – this trim swaps in the 5.7 liter V8 and standard all wheel drive, making it the most affordable AWD V8 SUV on the market today. GT Plus: $45,595 – this trim builds on the GT HEMI V8 with additional comfort and convenience features like available heated seats, a wireless charging pad, and upgraded trim pieces inside. R/T 392 Launch Edition: $49,995 – this trim is what separates it from every other 2026 Durango on this list, since it is the only one built around the 475 horsepower 6.4 liter HEMI V8 with a performance tuned suspension and Brembo brakes. SRT Hellcat: $79,995 – this trim sits above the rest thanks to its supercharged 6.2 liter HEMI V8, delivering 710 horsepower and a level of performance no other three row SUV can match. Dodge Warranty Every new 2026 Dodge Durango is backed by a 3 year or 36,000 mile basic limited warranty, whichever comes first. Powertrain coverage extends to 5 years or 60,000 miles, protecting the engine, transmission, and drivetrain components.

The 2026 Jeep Cherokee returns as an all-new hybrid with 210 horsepower and standard all-wheel drive. Fuel economy reaches an EPA-estimated 37 mpg combined, nearly double the outgoing Cherokee city rating. Every 2026 Jeep Cherokee trim includes over 140 standard and available safety features, along with Jeep's factory warranty coverage. The Jeep Cherokee name is back, and it's returned with a completely different personality. After a short hiatus, Jeep has reintroduced the 2026 Cherokee as a fully redesigned compact SUV built around an all-new hybrid powertrain. It keeps the classic boxy Jeep styling fans remember while delivering fuel economy and technology that puts it firmly in the conversation with today's best compact SUVs. 2026 Jeep Cherokee Overview The 2026 Jeep Cherokee is a ground-up redesign built on Stellantis's STLA Large platform, the same architecture underpinning vehicles like the Wagoneer S and the new Dodge Charger. Nothing carries over from the previous generation. Jeep uses this fresh start to bring back the Cherokee's classic squared-off look, complete with the brand's signature seven-slot grille. This new Jeep Cherokee is also larger than its predecessor, with about 30 percent more cargo space and an extra inch of rear legroom. It comes exclusively as a hybrid, marking the first time a Jeep Cherokee has launched without a traditional gas-only option. Hybrid Performance Every 2026 Jeep Cherokee is powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid system paired with two electric motors, producing a combined 210 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque. Power routes through a continuously variable transmission, and all-wheel drive comes standard on every trim through Jeep's Active Drive system. This system includes a rear-axle disconnect to help save fuel when extra traction isn't needed. For drivers who like to leave pavement behind, the 2026 Cherokee includes a Selec-Terrain system with Auto, Sport, Snow, and Sand/Mud modes, along with 8 inches of ground clearance. Towing capacity reaches up to 3,500 pounds when equipped with the available Trailer Tow Group. Impressive MPG Increase Fuel economy is one of the biggest updates for the 2026 Jeep Cherokee. The EPA rates it at an estimated 39 mpg city and 35 mpg highway, for about 37 mpg combined. These numbers are nearly double the old Cherokee model’s city rating. These updates are thanks to the hybrid system's ability to run in electric mode much of the time. With a 13.7-gallon fuel tank, that efficiency translates into more than 500 miles of driving range on a single tank of gas. Even the air conditioning compressor runs electrically, helping the 2026 Cherokee maintain full climate control performance even when the gas engine shuts off. 0-60 MPH times Independent testing has put the 2026 Jeep Cherokee 0-60 mph time at right around 8-10 seconds, depending on trim and conditions. Switching the drive mode selector into Sport mode sharpens throttle response further for drivers who want a bit more engagement behind the wheel. An Intentional Interior The 2026 Jeep Cherokee offers up to 68.3 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front row and 33.6 cubic feet behind the rear seats. That’s a noticeable jump over the outgoing model. Front-row passengers get up to 41.3 inches of legroom, and rear passengers get up to 38.5 inches. This update makes the 2026 Cherokee one of the roomier cabins in the compact SUV class. Materials climb steadily by trim, starting with cloth seating on the Laredo and moving up to leather-trimmed seats with heated front and rear seating on higher trims. Upper trims add extra comfort touches like a leather-wrapped steering wheel and available dual sunroofs. These additions give the cabin a noticeably more premium feel than the price might suggest. New Standard Technology A 12.3-inch touchscreen comes standard across the entire 2026 Jeep Cherokee lineup, running Jeep's latest Uconnect software with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. Built-in Alexa compatibility and available navigation round out a technology package that feels genuinely modern rather than an afterthought. Available features on higher trims include adaptive cruise control and additional connected services, giving buyers room to add convenience as they move up the lineup. It's a clear step forward from the previous Cherokee’s out-dated infotainment system. 140+ Safety Features Jeep equips the 2026 Cherokee with more than 140 standard and available safety and security features, which is a substantial list for this segment. Standard Active Driving Assist gives the Cherokee Level 2 driver assistance capability, allowing it to accelerate, brake, and steer to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane on the highway. Additional standard and available safety technology includes forward collision warning with active braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, and rear cross-traffic alert. Together, these features give the Cherokee a safety net that extends well beyond what shoppers might expect at this price point. Here are just 40 of the 140 available safety and security features that come with the 2026 Jeep Cherokee: Standard Active Driving Assist (Level 2 driver assistance) Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go Lane Keeping Assist Lane Departure Warning Active Lane Management System Forward Collision Warning Forward Automatic Emergency Braking Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection Automatic Emergency Braking with Cyclist Detection Reverse Collision Warning Reverse Automatic Emergency Braking Intersection Collision Assist Blind Spot Monitoring Rear Cross Path Detection Rear Cross-Traffic Alert Drowsy Driver Detection Driver Attention Monitor ParkView Rear Backup Camera Rear Park Assist Rear Parking Sensors Front Parking Sensors (Overland) Available Surround View 360-Degree Camera Available Auto-Dimming Digital Rearview Mirror Passive Entry Keyless Access System Rain-Sensing Windshield Wipers Automatic Headlights High-Strength Steel Unibody Construction Front and Rear Crumple Zones Dual-Stage Front Airbags Side-Curtain Airbags Driver Knee Airbag Electronic Stability Control Traction Control System Antilock Braking System Tire Pressure Monitoring System Driver and Front Passenger Seatbelt Pretensioners LATCH Child Seat Anchor System Connect One Package with Automatic SOS Calling 10 Years of Complimentary Over-the-Air Software Updates Jeep Brand App for Remote Vehicle Monitoring and Functions 2026 Jeep Cherokee Price Pricing for the 2026 Jeep Cherokee starts around $37,000 for the Laredo trim. This positions it competitively against other hybrid compact SUVs on the market. Prices climb from there to around $46,000 for a fully loaded Overland trim. That range reflects a lineup where every trim shares the same hybrid powertrain and standard all-wheel drive, so the price differences mainly come down to comfort and convenience features. It gives buyers a clear path to choose exactly how much luxury they want on top of the 2026 Jeep Cherokee core capability. 2026 Cherokee Price by Trim Each 2026 Jeep Cherokee trim adds a distinct layer of comfort and style on top of the same hybrid powertrain and standard all-wheel drive. It’s important to note that the prices listed below are strictly estimates. We highly recommend visiting your local Jeep dealer in person to ensure 100% accurate prices. Laredo: $38,000 – serves as the value-focused entry point, with cloth seating, the standard 12.3-inch touchscreen, and Active Driving Assist included from the start. Limited: $40,000 – steps up to leather-trimmed seating and heated front and rear seats, making it a strong pick for buyers who want more comfort without going all the way to the top trim. 85th Anniversary Edition AWD: $35,000 –  adds unique badging and appearance details that celebrate Jeep's milestone anniversary, giving it a distinct look among Cherokee owners. Overland: $43,000 – Brings the most complete feature set with premium wheels, the richest interior materials, and the full suite of available comfort and technology options. Jeep Warranty Every new 2026 Jeep Cherokee comes with a 3-year, 36,000-mile Basic Limited Warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Along with that comes a 5-year, 60,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty for the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. Jeep also includes a 5-year, unlimited-mile Corrosion Perforation Warranty and 5 years or 60,000 miles of 24/7 Roadside Assistance. Because the 2026 Jeep Cherokee hybrid system includes a high-voltage battery, it also carries a dedicated battery warranty of 10 years or 100,000 miles in most states. 2026 Cherokee owners are also eligible for Jeep Wave, the brand's owner benefits program for added peace of mind.

The 2026 Dodge Charger has returned with a bold new identity, blending the raw attitude of classic American muscle with thoroughly modern engineering. Named the 2026 North American Car of the Year, this isn't just a nod to nostalgia. It's a statement of intent from a brand that refuses to stand still. 2026 Dodge Charger Overview For 2026, the Dodge Charger has been rebuilt from the ground up, with a redesign that blends vintage muscle-car soul with modern engineering.

On the 2026 Charger exterior, the design draws inspiration from the original 1968 Charger. LED high-and-low-beam headlights illuminate the road ahead, while available cross-car running lights stretch along the entire front fascia. At the center sits the illuminated Fratzog badge.
