Dodge Durango SRT
Do you need a 4.4-second 0 to 60 mph SUV with 475 HP and the ability to carry seven passengers? You essentially need a small school bus in case your kids are late for school and you need to get them there in a hurry. Ok, then you need a Dodge Durango SRT (via Car and Driver).
With a 6.4-liter Hemi engine and 475 HP, this is a pure Dodge muscle car in an SUV package. In contrast to other vehicles on this list which are mostly useless as real SUVs, this Dodge is very capable.
