For drivers in Killam and surrounding areas like Sedgewick, Viking, and Lougheed, winter isn’t just a season—it’s a way of life. Whether you’re towing a snowmobile trailer to Hardisty Lake or hauling gear for a weekend in the foothills, one question often comes up at Campbell McLennan: Can the Dodge Durango handle towing in Alberta winters?
Short answer: absolutely.
The Dodge Durango is one of the few midsize SUVs that blends rugged towing power with all-wheel drive stability. Depending on the engine choice—ranging from the standard 3.6L Pentastar V6 to the available 5.7L HEMI V8—the Durango offers up to 8,700 lbs of towing capacity, rivaling many pickup trucks. But what really sets it apart for winter is how that capability is paired with smart traction systems.
Durango’s available all-wheel drive (AWD) system ensures confident grip on icy roads, automatically adjusting power between the front and rear wheels when slippage is detected. Add features like Trailer Sway Control and Hill Start Assist, and you’ve got an SUV that doesn’t flinch when the roads get rough—or the weather gets worse.
It’s also got the tech to keep you in control. The Tow N Go package (available on select trims) adds a performance-tuned suspension, drive modes, and upgraded cooling systems—ideal for Alberta drivers who tow year-round.
Whether you’re commuting to Camrose or heading out with a trailer to Cold Lake, the Dodge Durango offers towing confidence you can count on. Stop by Campbell McLennan to explore its winter-ready strength in person.
