New Dodge Durango for Sale in Yucca Valley, CA
Joshua Tree CDJR stocks the Dodge Durango at 57909 29 Palms Hwy, and the three-row SUVs on our lot center on the GT and GT Plus trims. Both are offered with the 3.6L Pentastar V6 or the 5.7L HEMI V8, and every Durango pairs its engine with a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. For shoppers in Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree, Twentynine Palms and across the Morongo Basin, this is the closest Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram dealership in the high desert.
Dodge Durango Engine Options
The choice that matters most on our lot is V6 versus HEMI V8. The 3.6L Pentastar V6 produces 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The 5.7L HEMI V8 raises that to 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft, and powers most of the Durangos we stock. Higher in the national lineup sit the R/T 392 (6.4L HEMI, 475 hp) and the SRT Hellcat (supercharged 6.2L HEMI, 710 hp). Ask our sales team about current availability. For a full walk through features and trim positioning, see our 2026 Dodge Durango research page.
Comparing the Durango V6 and HEMI V8
Towing separates the two engines as clearly as horsepower. The Pentastar V6 is rated for 6,200 pounds, a best-in-class V6 figure that covers a utility trailer, pop-up camper or small boat. The 5.7L HEMI V8 raises the standard rating to 7,200 pounds, and up to 8,700 pounds is available on GT HEMI V8 models equipped with the Tow ’n Go Package. Fuel economy moves the other way.

Military Savings on a New Durango
With MCAGCC Twentynine Palms roughly twenty miles from our showroom, a large share of the Durango shoppers we work with are active-duty, reserve or retired military. Our High Desert Heroes Package includes $500 off the advertised price on a new or used vehicle, in addition to our advertised discounted pricing and stackable with OEM incentives.
It also stacks on top of the separate $500 Stellantis Military Bonus Cash rebate, so a buyer who qualifies for both can use both on the same Durango. Priority service scheduling, a free tire rotation with an oil change and 15% off accessories are also included.
Shopping the Durango in the Morongo Basin
Rather than driving down the pass to shop, high desert drivers can compare the V6 against the HEMI V8 in person and arrange a test drive here in Yucca Valley. Our sales team can walk through what is currently in transit, and a factory order is an option for a specific trim, color and package combination. You can also browse the full new Dodge lineup if a Charger is on your list.
Common Questions About the Dodge Durango
Does the Dodge Durango require premium fuel?
The 3.6L Pentastar V6 runs on regular 87-octane unleaded. The 5.7L HEMI V8 is recommended midgrade 89-octane, while the 6.4L 392 HEMI and supercharged 6.2L HEMI call for 91-octane or higher premium unleaded.
How do second-row captain's chairs affect seating capacity?
Choosing the optional second-row captain's chairs replaces the standard three-passenger split-folding bench, taking total capacity from seven to six. In exchange, passengers get individual armrests and an open center aisle that makes third-row access easier.
What warranty coverage comes with a new Dodge Durango?
Every new Durango carries a 3-year or 36,000-mile basic limited warranty covering bumper-to-bumper components, and a 5-year or 60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty covering the engine, transmission and drive systems. Roadside assistance runs 5 years or 60,000 miles.
