Lincoln MKX vs. Dodge Durango Review

Performance
As far as horsepower, the Dodge Durango packs quite a wallop and will knock the Lincoln MKX down a few rungs. On the flip side, keep in mind that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With their similar turning radii, the Lincoln MKX and the Dodge Durango likely handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain

Dimensions
