The 2022 Dodge Durango SRT 392 is a family-SUV choice with a performance-focused specification. It deserves a comparison with the R/T before assuming the larger engine is necessary: buyers need to weigh its hardware against fuel, tires, maintenance and the way the vehicle will actually be used.

Engine and drivetrain
SRT 392 uses a naturally aspirated 6.4-litre HEMI V8 producing 475 hp and 470 lb-ft, an eight-speed automatic and performance-tuned AWD. It is not the supercharged Hellcat powertrain. Dodge Canada’s 2022 brochure.
Performance equipment
The Canadian specification includes Brembo brakes, adaptive damping and 20-inch wheels with 295-width tires. These are meaningful hardware differences, not just badges. SRT equipment overview.
Towing
Dodge publishes an up-to-8,700-pound towing rating for SRT 392 when properly equipped. The same maximum is advertised for R/T with Tow N Go, so tow capacity alone is not proof that SRT is the necessary choice. Canadian towing information.
Confirm the actual hitch, build and loading instructions. People, luggage and trailer tongue weight count toward vehicle loading limits. Compare the specific trailer-and-passenger combination, not only a maximum in an advertisement.
Fuel economy
NRCan’s 2022 Durango AWD SRT 6.4-litre entry is rated at 18.3 L/100 km city, 12.2 highway and 15.6 combined on premium gasoline. Actual consumption varies with conditions. NRCan historical data.
At 20,000 km annually, the combined rating corresponds to 3,120 litres. Multiply by your assumed premium-fuel price and allow for your route, winter driving and loading. Budget for tires, insurance and servicing as well as fuel.

Is SRT 392 worth it?
Choose it for its specific engine and performance equipment, not merely because it is the higher badge. Compare similarly maintained vehicles and investigate service history, recalls and modifications. An independent inspection and a VIN-specific insurance quote are sensible steps before committing to a performance-oriented used SUV.
