Dodge offers 14 versions of the 2014 Durango, so we won’t list them all here, but the V-8 models are roughly 300 to 345 pounds heavier than V-6 versions. All-wheel drive adds 150 to 200 pounds compared with rear wheel drive, depending on model. For example, the rear-drive Limited weighs 4,838 pounds with the V-6 and 5,176 pounds with the V-8. On the corresponding all-wheel-drive models, the V-6 version is 4,987 pounds and the V-8 model is 5,330.
