Starting prices for every 2025 Durango trim, what the 2026 model changed, and the New Jersey taxes and fees that turn an MSRP into an out-the-door number.

Key Takeaways

What Does a 2025 Dodge Durango Cost in Late 2026?

The short answer: a new 2025 Dodge Durango starts at $38,495 for a rear-wheel-drive GT, before the $1,595 destination charge, taxes and fees. That figure comes from the price cuts Dodge announced in March 2025, which took thousands off the GT and R/T and nearly $30,000 off the SRT Hellcat compared with the special editions that had been the only way to get one.

It’s the end of September 2026. The 2026 Durango is the current model and 2027s are starting to show up, yet we still get plenty of questions about the 2025. A new, never-titled 2025 on a dealer lot is a prior model year, and prior-year units are often where the strongest manufacturer money ends up. Below we cover every 2025 trim, how the 2026 changed things, and the New Jersey math that turns a sticker price into the number you sign for.

What Are the 2025 Durango Trims and Starting Prices?

Dodge simplified the Durango for 2025. The core lineup is three trims, GT, R/T and SRT Hellcat, with Plus and Premium equipment levels layered on top of the GT and R/T. The prices below are starting MSRPs and do not include the $1,595 destination charge Dodge listed for 2025 models.

*Starting MSRPs after Dodge’s March 2025 pricing update, excluding the $1,595 destination charge, taxes, title and fees. Plus and Premium figures are as listed by Edmunds. Options raise the sticker and pricing changes, so treat these as a starting line, not a quote on any vehicle in our inventory.

What changed in the 2025 lineup

Dodge dropped the SXT, Citadel and SRT 392 for 2025, which is why you won’t find a 2025 Durango with the 6.4-liter 392 HEMI. All-wheel drive became standard on every R/T, and the 10.1-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen became standard across the board. The GT is the only 2025 you can get with rear-wheel drive. Every Durango still seats up to seven, depending on how the second row is configured.

There were also special editions marking 20 years of the modern HEMI: an R/T 20th Anniversary package and three SRT Hellcat editions called Silver Bullet, Hammerhead and Brass Monkey. Early on, the Hellcat was only sold in those loaded forms. The March 2025 price change added a standalone SRT Hellcat at $84,995, nearly $30,000 less than the special editions according to Cars.com. Any anniversary or Hellcat edition still on a lot will sticker well above the table’s base figures.

Why a leftover 2025 can be worth a look

A leftover is a brand-new, never-titled vehicle with the full factory warranty that happens to wear last year’s model year. Manufacturers often put extra money on those units, but the amounts change monthly and vary by trim, so we won’t quote a number here. Our current offers and incentives page shows what applies right now. One wrinkle worth knowing: the 2026 SRT Hellcat carries a lower starting MSRP ($79,995) than the 2025 ($84,995), so a leftover 2025 Hellcat has to be discounted to make sense against a new 2026.

How Is the 2026 Durango Different, and What Does It Start At?

The 2026 lineup went through a couple of changes during the year. In August 2025, Dodge announced that every 2026 Durango would get a HEMI V-8: the GT moved to the 360-hp 5.7-liter with standard AWD, and the R/T moved up to the 392 HEMI, a 6.4-liter making 475 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. The SRT Hellcat kept its 710 hp and dropped to a $79,995 starting MSRP. Then in November 2025, Dodge reopened orders for a V-6 GT because buyers asked for it.

Per Dodge’s November 2025 announcement, the 2026 Durango GT with the Pentastar V-6 starts at $38,995 with rear-wheel drive, and AWD adds $2,000. The HEMI V-8 GT AWD starts at $42,695. Cars.com reported the R/T 392 Launch Edition at $49,995 before destination, or $51,990 with it. The destination charge for 2026 is $1,995, which is $400 more than on the 2025.

So how do the two years compare? The V-6 GT is close: $38,495 for a 2025 against $38,995 for a 2026 before destination, with $400 more in destination on the 2026. The bigger gap is at the R/T level. A 2025 R/T gets you the 5.7-liter at $49,995, while about the same money on a 2026 buys the 475-hp 392. If you want the most engine per dollar, the 2026 R/T wins. If you just want a V-8 for towing and daily driving, a discounted 2025 R/T can come out ahead. The 2027 lineup announced in June 2026 is V-8 only, with the GT starting at $43,675 before destination.

What Will You Actually Pay Out the Door in New Jersey?

MSRP is where the conversation starts. The out-the-door number is the selling price plus everything the state and the dealership add to it, minus your trade-in and any rebates. Here is what goes into that figure on a new Durango bought in New Jersey.

New Jersey sales tax

The state rate is 6.625%, per the NJ Division of Taxation. Its consumer automotive tax guide spells out the rules that matter. Tax is charged on the price before any manufacturer rebate. The dealer’s doc fee is part of the taxable price. A trade-in reduces the taxable amount when you trade it to a registered dealership that takes it for resale and both contracts are signed together. Extended service contracts are taxable. MVC title and registration fees are not.

MVC title and registration

A New Jersey dealer handles the title and registration paperwork for you. The MVC title fee is $60, or $85 with a lien if you financed. A Durango weighs well over 3,500 pounds, and the MVC’s annual fee for a passenger vehicle that heavy and under two years old is $84. A never-titled new vehicle gets a four-year registration with plates included, so expect that line to run a few hundred dollars. Your buyer’s order shows the exact figure.

The dealer documentation fee

New Jersey does not set a maximum doc fee. What the state’s consumer fraud regulations do require is disclosure: the dealer has to itemize the documentary services being performed and print the price for each one on the sale document in at least 10-point type, and a dealer may not tell you that a government agency requires the fee. Doc fees vary from store to store, so ask for ours up front and we’ll show you exactly where it sits on the paperwork.

Tire fee and the luxury and fuel-inefficient surcharge

New Jersey charges a Motor Vehicle Tire Fee of $1.50 per tire, spare included, listed separately and not subject to sales tax. The bigger surprise for some Durango buyers is the Luxury and Fuel-Inefficient Surcharge, a one-time 0.4% charge on a new vehicle that sells for $45,000 or more (before trade-in and rebates) or has an EPA combined rating under 19 mpg. Edmunds lists the 2025 R/T at 17 mpg combined and the Hellcat at 13, so every HEMI Durango triggers it. The V-6 GT is rated at 20 mpg, so it only triggers the surcharge at a $45,000 selling price. On a $50,000 R/T, that’s $200.

Optional add-ons

These are the items that should always be your choice. None of them is required to buy the vehicle, and each one should appear as its own line on the buyer’s order.

• Extended service contract. Worth considering if you plan to keep the Durango well past the factory warranty. Remember that New Jersey taxes it.
• GAP coverage. Covers the difference between what insurance pays and what you owe if the vehicle is totaled. Most useful with a small down payment or a long loan.
• Tire and wheel protection. The 20-inch wheels on Plus and R/T models don’t love Route 42 potholes after a hard winter, so some owners find this one earns its keep.
• Appearance and undercoating packages. Paint, interior and underbody protection aimed at road salt and car-seat spills. Ask exactly what is applied and what the coverage terms are.
• Mopar accessories. All-weather floor mats, a hitch setup or cargo organizers can be rolled into the deal, or bought later from our parts counter.

A Worked Example: Out-the-Door Math on a 2025 Durango GT AWD

This is an illustration with round numbers, not an offer and not the price of any vehicle on our lot. Swap in real figures from a buyer’s order and the method works the same way.

Say a 2025 GT AWD has a total MSRP of about $42,100 once you add the $1,595 destination charge to the $40,495 base. Assume the agreed selling price, with destination included, lands at $40,000, with no manufacturer rebate in the picture. Add a placeholder doc fee of $500 (ask us for the actual figure). The taxable amount is $40,500, and 6.625% of that is $2,683.13.

Now the state items. The tire fee is $7.50 for four tires and a spare. The title fee is $85 because this buyer is financing. For the four-year registration we’ll use $350 as a round placeholder. No luxury surcharge applies, because the V-6 GT is rated at 20 mpg combined and the selling price is under $45,000. Add it up and you get $40,000 + $500 + $2,683.13 + $7.50 + $85 + $350, or roughly $43,626 out the door before any trade-in.

Bring a trade worth $10,000 and two things happen. The $10,000 comes off the balance, and because the trade reduces the taxable amount, sales tax drops by $662.50. That savings is a good argument for trading in at the dealership rather than selling privately, and our trade-in value tool gives you a starting number. On a $50,000 R/T you’d add the $200 surcharge. For monthly figures, plug the total into our payment calculator.

Window Sticker vs. Buyer’s Order: What’s the Difference?

The window sticker, or Monroney label, is the factory sticker on the side glass. It lists the base MSRP for that exact trim, every factory option with its price, the destination charge and the total MSRP, along with EPA fuel economy ratings, standard equipment and where the vehicle was built. Some dealers add a second sticker beside it for dealer-installed items. Read that one separately, because those items aren’t factory equipment.

The buyer’s order is the deal itself. It starts with the selling price you agreed to, then lists the doc fee, each optional product, sales tax, the tire fee, MVC charges, any surcharge, rebates, and your trade allowance and payoff. The final figure is what you pay or finance. When you compare dealers, compare buyer’s orders, not window stickers. Two stores can have identical Monroney labels and very different out-the-door totals. We’re happy to put a full breakdown in writing before you ever make the drive in.

Which 2025 Durango Trim Is the Best Value for South Jersey Families?

For most families we talk to, the answer is the GT AWD, or the GT Plus AWD if you want the nicer cabin. The V-6 makes 295 hp, plenty for merging onto the Atlantic City Expressway with a full third row. It gets the best fuel economy in the lineup at 20 mpg combined and usually stays out of the 0.4% surcharge. AWD is worth the extra $2,000 if you park outside through a South Jersey winter. The Plus adds leather, heated and ventilated front seats, navigation and 20-inch wheels, and after a July Saturday in Shore traffic with kids in the back, you’ll appreciate those seats.

The R/T makes sense in one situation above all: towing. The V-6 GT is rated to tow up to 6,200 pounds. The R/T is rated at 7,200 pounds, or up to 8,700 with the Tow N Go package, the same maximum as the Hellcat. If you pull a camper or a boat down to Cape May every summer and the rig weighs more than about 6,000 pounds loaded, buy the R/T. It sounds a lot better, too. The Hellcat is its own thing: 710 hp and a claimed 3.5-second run to 60. A fantastic toy, but not a value buy, and at 13 mpg it won’t pretend to be. You can line up the trims against each other on our Dodge and Ram comparisons page.
