The Durango comes in ten configurations, ranging from the wallet-friendly GT model to the well-equipped SRT Hellcat models. The Pathfinder comes in five trim levels, from the economical S to the top-of-the-line Platinum. We’ll find most of what these vehicles have to offer without opting for the priciest trim level, so let’s take a look at the standard features of the 2025 Dodge Durango GT vs. the 2025 Nissan Pathfinder SL.
The Durango is equipped with a peppy 3.6L V6 engine, delivering 295 horsepower and a towing capacity of 6,200 lbs. An 8-speed automatic transmission adds up to a ton of fun behind the wheel. With an estimated fuel economy of 18 MPG city / 25 MPG highway, the Durango strikes a good balance between power and efficiency.
The Pathfinder has a 3.5L 6-cylinder engine under the hood for 284 horsepower and a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 (up to 6,000 lbs. with premium package) Featuring a 9-speed automatic transmission and an estimated 21 MPG city / 27 MPG highway, the Pathfinder is also a respectable choice.
Altogether, both the Durango and Pathfinder are competent performers in most circumstances.
The Dodge Durango boasts an impressive set of safety features. Standard driver-assistance or safety features include brake assist, electronic stability control with anti-rollover, blind spot warning, rear parking sensors, and more.
The Nissan Pathfinder is no slouch either when it comes to safety. The Pathfinder has a driver assist package that includes blind spot intervention, collision prevention with automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, and more.
If you prefer a welcoming interior that is well-equipped but not distracting, you’ll probably like the Durango. Step inside to discover automatic dual-zone air conditioning, heated front seats, 8-way power-adjustable driver seat with lumbar support, and 141 cubic feet of passenger volume. The infotainment system features 6-speaker audio, voice-activated controls, wireless phone connectivity, satellite radio, and all the conveniences you’ve come to expect from a well-equipped vehicle.
Most drivers won’t be disappointed by the Pathfinder’s interior. With tri-zone automatic climate control, heated and power-adjustable front seats, and 148.5 cubic feet of passenger volume, comfort shouldn’t be an issue. 6-speaker audio, Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, SiriusXM® satellite radio and more comprise a sufficient infotainment setup.
Dodge is celebrated for American muscle. The 2025 Durango lives up to the reputation. The 2025 Nissan Pathfinder is also a great choice. Both are excellent, but in our opinion, the Dodge Durango can’t be beat.
