Does the Dodge Durango come with captain seats?
Yes—the Durango can be equipped with second-row captain's chairs on certain trims and packages, but many configurations use a 2nd-row bench. Availability depends on model year and market.
How the Durango's seating options work
The Durango is a three-row SUV that can seat seven with a 2nd-row bench, or five with 2nd-row captain's chairs. Captain's chairs provide two individual seats in the second row with a center console, which can improve access to the third row but reduces total passenger capacity. Materials and features are often upgraded with captain-chair configurations.
Where captain chairs are typically offered
Captain's chairs are generally available on mid- to high-level trims and with optional interior packages. They are not standard on the base SXT in most years.
- Second-row captain's chairs replace the 60/40 bench to create two individual seats.
- The configuration reduces total seating to five passengers.
- They are often paired with leather upholstery and a center console; availability varies by model year and trim.
Before listing the specifics, note that availability can vary by model year and market.
Availability can shift year to year, and some markets may have limited offerings. Always verify with the dealer or the official brochure for the specific model year you’re considering.
How to verify captain seats on a specific Durango
If you're shopping a used or current model, these steps will confirm whether captain's chairs are included on the Durango you’re looking at.
- Check the vehicle’s window sticker or Monroney label for “Second-Row Captain’s Chairs” or “Bucket Seats.”
- Review the interior photos or the build sheet to see whether the second row has two separate seats or a bench.
- Ask the dealer for the exact seating configuration and any optional packages tied to the trim.
- If buying used, pull a vehicle history or manufacturer data sheet to confirm the original factory configuration.
Confirming the seating arrangement before purchase helps ensure the Durango matches your passenger needs and cargo priorities.
Summary
The Dodge Durango can be configured with second-row captain’s chairs on certain trims and packages, delivering a five-passenger layout with two individual seats in the middle row.
