2026 Dodge Durango vs Chevy Tahoe

Dodge lists a $1,995 destination charge; Chevrolet lists a $2,795 freight charge. Tax, title, license, dealer fees and optional equipment also affect the total.

These entry prices are not equipment-matched quotes. Compare prices for the engine, trim and options you need, and check our new-vehicle specials for current offers.

The six-seat Durangos are the R/T 392 AWD Launch Edition and R/T 392 Premium AWD Launch Edition, both with all-wheel drive (AWD). Choose a GT model if you need seven seats.

The Durango is 10.5 inches shorter overall. If parking space is tight, check the vehicle’s full dimensions against the space available.

GT is the only Durango trim offered with RWD; the other Durango trims compared here use AWD.

Durango maximum towing ratings vary by engine, drivetrain and equipment:

Dodge’s maximum ratings are for base configurations; added options, equipment, passengers and cargo may affect how much weight the vehicle can carry and tow.

Chevrolet lists separate standard and max trailering ratings by engine and drivetrain. RWD and four-wheel drive (4WD) ratings are shown below:

The Tahoe’s 5.3L V8 has higher trailering ratings than the 6.2L V8 with the same drivetrain. Each diesel configuration has the same standard and max trailer rating. For either SUV, match the specific vehicle’s towing limits to your loaded trailer, passengers and cargo.

The Durango also has two first-row LCD monitors and a driver information center with a trip computer and compass. V-6 trims have six speakers; HEMI V8 trims have nine. The Durango does not offer a rear entertainment system.

The Tahoe’s standard display system includes connected apps and personalized driver profiles. Bluetooth and HD Surround Vision are also standard across trims. USB connections include two front-console charge-and-data ports (type-A and type-C) and two third-row type-C charge-only ports.

Super Cruise is an available hands-free driver-assistance system offered on LT, RST, Premier and High Country, but not LS. Package requirements differ by trim, and it cannot be paired with the 3.0L turbo-diesel. A Chevrolet dealership can confirm equipment and ordering availability.

NHTSA limits overall and frontal-rating comparisons to vehicles in the same class and within 250 pounds of the tested vehicle’s weight. These ratings alone do not establish a head-to-head safety winner.

Forward Collision Warning with Full Stop and Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop are available on the Durango, but are not included in the base configurations compared here. Check the equipment on the Durango you choose if either feature is a priority. Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist is standard across Tahoe trims.

Coverage ends at the time or mileage limit, whichever comes first, and applies to specified components. The diesel Tahoe’s higher mileage limit applies to its powertrain warranty, not its bumper-to-bumper coverage.

For seven seats, stay with the GT family. The R/T 392 Launch Edition models seat six.

If you want a diesel, the Tahoe is your option of these two. Diesel and Super Cruise cannot be combined, so a buyer wanting both must decide which takes priority.
