The 2026 Dodge Durango GT America250 Edition is a patriotic appearance-and-equipment package that celebrates America’s 250th anniversary, pairing red-white-and-blue design touches with the Durango’s three-row muscle. It’s offered on the GT trim with either the 3.6L Pentastar V6 or the 5.7L HEMI V8, so you can pick the powertrain that fits your driving.
I’m Jordan Malone-Forst, Assistant General Manager at Jay Malone CDJR in Hutchinson. Dodge debuted the Durango GT America250 Edition at the 2026 New York International Auto Show to mark America’s semiquincentennial, and it’s one of the more distinctive ways to put a three-row Durango in your driveway. Here’s exactly what the package includes, which engines it comes with, and how to order one for central Minnesota. For the full lineup, see our 2026 Durango trim comparison.
What is the Durango GT America250 Edition?
It’s a patriotic appearance and equipment package built on the 2026 Durango GT — not a separate model or a numbered collector’s edition.
Dodge created the GT America250 Edition to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary, adding red-white-and-blue design elements inside and out over the well-equipped GT trim. It’s an option package you order on a GT, which means you get the celebratory styling without giving up the Durango’s everyday practicality — three rows of seating and available all-wheel drive.
What does the America250 Edition include?
Patriotic exterior badging, unique black wheels, and a red-white-and-blue interior treatment.
Exterior:
- America250 fender badging and American-flag embossment
- 20-inch Black Noise (gloss-black) wheels
- The GT’s sport-appearance styling as the foundation
Interior:
- Black Laguna leather seats with blue perforation and American-flag embossment
- Red-white-and-blue (tricolor) accent stitching
- Demonic Red seatbelts
- An exclusive commemorative leather key tag
Together it’s a tasteful, genuinely distinctive take on the Durango — patriotic without being loud about it.
Which engine does the America250 Edition come with?
You have a choice — the 3.6L Pentastar V6 or the 5.7L HEMI V8.
The package is available as a GT Plus AWD with the 295-horsepower 3.6L Pentastar V6, and as GT HEMI Plus AWD or GT HEMI Premium AWD with the 360-horsepower 5.7L HEMI V8. So whether you want the efficiency and value of the V6 or the extra muscle and towing of the HEMI, you can have the America250 styling on either.
How much can the America250 Durango tow?
Up to 8,700 pounds with the 5.7L HEMI V8 and the Tow N Go package.
The V6 GT tows up to 6,200 pounds. The 5.7L HEMI GT tows 7,200 pounds standard, or up to 8,700 pounds when equipped with Tow N Go — enough for most boats, campers, and utility trailers central Minnesota families haul. If towing matters to you, the HEMI with Tow N Go is the configuration to look at. Always confirm the exact rating for the specific vehicle and equipment you’re considering.
Is the America250 Edition a limited or collector’s edition?
It’s a special commemorative package, not a numbered limited-production run.
The America250 Edition is a distinctive, anniversary-themed package rather than a capped, numbered collector series — there’s no production-limit number or numbered plaque. What makes it special is the design: the patriotic badging, the black wheels, and the red-white-and-blue interior are unique to this package for the 2026 model year. If you want a Durango that stands out and marks the moment, this is a great way to do it — and because it’s built on the GT, it’s a Durango you can actually live with every day.
