Our new vehicle inventory keeps the Durango front and center, because a three-row SUV that tows is what Burke County households actually use. The 2026 Dodge Durango GT opens the lineup at $38,495 with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 rated at 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, while the R/T at $49,995 brings back the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 at 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft. Order an R/T with the Tow N Go package and a properly equipped Durango pulls a best-in-class 8,700 pounds, which covers a bass boat headed for Brier Creek, a two-horse trailer, or a side-by-side bound for the Yuchi Wildlife Management Area when deer season opens. Seating reaches seven across 50 configurations, and dropping both rear rows opens 85.1 cubic feet of cargo room. Shoppers chasing the top of the range can still order the 710-horsepower SRT Hellcat, and our blog breaks down what changed in the 2027 Dodge Durango if you would rather wait for the newer model year.

The Dodge Charger is the other half of the story, and the 2027 order banks are open. Charger R/T runs the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter SIXPACK inline-six at 420 horsepower and 468 lb-ft, good for 60 mph in 4.6 seconds. The Scat Pack takes the same engine to a high-output 550 horsepower and 531 lb-ft and drops that to 3.9 seconds. If you want the electric version, the Daytona Scat Pack makes 670 horsepower and 627 lb-ft, hits 60 in 3.3 seconds, and now carries a NACS charging port that opens up Tesla Supercharger stalls on trips toward Savannah or Atlanta. Every Charger comes as a two-door coupe or four-door sedan with standard all-wheel drive and a selectable rear-drive mode, which is a genuine advantage on the wet clay county roads south of Waynesboro in February. Inside, Uconnect with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto handles navigation and hands-free calling so a shift change at Plant Vogtle does not have to mean fumbling with a phone.

No single Georgia lot carries every Durango and Charger combination at once, so we work two ways. If you know the trim, engine and color you want, we search regional allocation first and place a factory order second, then hold your pricing in writing while the build moves. If you would rather compare on paper before driving up, the new vehicle showroom lays out trims, packages and standard equipment side by side, and current Dodge incentives and APR offers are posted as Stellantis releases them at the start of each month. Ask us to confirm which rebates you personally qualify for, including military, first responder and returning lessee programs, before you commit to a payment.

Used Dodge shopping in Waynesboro usually comes down to a budget and a deadline, so our used vehicle inventory is built to be filtered fast. Every pre-owned Dodge on the lot clears a multi-point mechanical inspection covering engine and transmission operation, brake life, tire tread depth, battery health, fluid condition and every safety system, and each listing publishes a Carfax or AutoCheck history report so accident and title records are on the table before you ask. Cash buyers and first-time buyers should start with our bargain and value-priced inventory, where older trade-ins land under the payment thresholds most Burke County budgets can absorb. If you would rather trade miles for a shorter ownership risk, our low-mileage pre-owned selection collects late-model units that have barely broken in.

Buyers who want factory backing on a used Dodge should look at Certified Pre-Owned inventory instead. To wear the CPO badge, a Dodge has to be under five model years old with fewer than 75,000 miles and pass a 125-point inspection performed by a factory-trained technician. What you get in return is a 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty measured from the vehicle's original in-service date, a 3-month/3,000-mile maximum care warranty, 24/7 roadside assistance, a CarFax history report and a SiriusXM trial. Our Certified Pre-Owned program page lists the full coverage terms, and Mopar Vehicle Protection plans can extend them further if you plan to keep the vehicle past the warranty window. On a Durango that regularly tows, that powertrain coverage is the difference between a repair bill and a phone call.

Distance should not cost you a shot at the right vehicle. Waynesboro shoppers regularly work with us by phone and text first: we send a walkaround video, read the service history and any reconditioning we performed, quote the out-the-door figure with tag, title and fees itemized, and hold the vehicle with a deposit until you can get up GA 80. Not buying at all, just selling? We appraise and buy vehicles outright whether or not you drive something home, which is often the cleaner route when a farm truck or a college car is simply surplus.

Our Mopar-certified service center is where the Waynesboro relationship usually gets tested, and it is the part of the store we defend hardest. Technicians here are factory-trained on Dodge platforms and diagnose with the same wiTECH software the engineers use, which matters when a Durango throws a module fault that a generic scan tool reads as three unrelated codes. We handle scheduled maintenance, brakes, suspension and steering, cooling systems, transmission service, electrical diagnostics, recall campaigns and warranty repairs, and we use genuine Mopar parts so factory coverage stays intact.

Burke County driving writes its own maintenance list. Summers that sit above 95 degrees with heavy humidity punish air conditioning compressors, radiators and batteries, so we pressure-test cooling systems and load-test batteries as a matter of course rather than waiting for a no-start in a Plant Vogtle parking lot. Unpaved clay roads and washboard farm lanes go after alignment, shocks and tire wear, and we measure tread and check alignment specs at every visit. Anyone towing a boat, a livestock trailer or a bird dog rig should be on a shorter transmission fluid interval than the severe-duty schedule suggests, and we will tell you that plainly instead of selling a flush you do not need. Routine work fits our Mopar Express Lane, where an oil change, tire rotation, battery test and multi-point inspection happen while you wait, no appointment required.

Because you are driving 44 miles, we plan around it. Schedule service online and pick a first-of-the-day slot, tell us the symptom in the notes so the right technician and the right parts are ready, and we will confirm whether the job is a wait or a drop before you commit to the trip. Our Mopar parts counter stocks common Dodge maintenance items and can order accessories, tow hooks and hitch hardware for pickup on the same visit. Check current service and parts specials before you book, stack them with the 5% cash back loyalty card that comes with every purchase, and use the complimentary first oil change on your first trip back. Estimates are written before a wrench moves, and if we find something else we call you with a price rather than assuming an answer.

Our finance center submits your application to Chrysler Capital plus a wide bench of regional banks and credit unions, then shows you the approvals side by side instead of presenting one payment and calling it the market. Terms generally run 36 to 72 months, and we quote total interest at each length so a lower payment does not quietly cost you thousands. Before you apply, the buying power calculator works backward from the monthly number you are comfortable with and tells you what price range that actually supports, which saves the disappointment of falling for a Scat Pack your budget was never going to reach.

Credit profiles around Waynesboro are not uniform, and our lender mix reflects that. Farm and timber income arrives seasonally, Plant Vogtle contractors work rotations with heavy overtime, and plenty of Burke County buyers have thin files rather than bad ones. We present residence and employment stability, down payment and trade equity alongside the score instead of letting one number decide, and we work with lenders that specialize in first-time buyers and credit rebuilding. Start with a secure online finance application or a soft-pull pre-approval if you want a decision without a hard inquiry. Either takes a few minutes, carries no obligation, and usually comes back the same business day so the drive up GA 80 happens only once.

Your current vehicle is the biggest lever on the payment. Get a real number from our trade-in appraisal tool before you shop, then let us verify it in person, since Georgia also credits your trade against the taxable amount on the vehicle you buy. Leasing is worth a conversation too if you drive predictable annual mileage and prefer a smaller monthly commitment with the newest safety and infotainment technology every few years. Tell us which outcome matters most to you, the lowest payment, the lowest total cost, or the shortest term, and we will structure toward that specific goal rather than the one that is easiest to sell.

Thomson is a small town, which is exactly why our pricing is plain. Word travels through McDuffie and Burke counties faster than any ad budget, so the number we quote by phone is the number on the buyer's order, fees itemized and nothing added at signing. That approach is spelled out on our why buy from us page, and it is backed by the same two commitments we repeat on every delivery: a complimentary first oil change and a 5% cash back loyalty card you can spend on service and parts for as long as you own the vehicle.

We also try to fit the way Burke County actually runs. The Bird Dog Capital of the World fills up for field trial season, row-crop and timber work does not pause because a truck needs a transmission service, and 12-hour rotations at Plant Vogtle do not line up with a nine-to-five service drive. So we open the service lane early, keep Saturday sales hours until 6:00 PM, and will hold a vehicle or a service bay for a specific arrival time when you tell us the shift you are coming off. If a repair runs long, we would rather say so on the phone that morning than surprise you at pickup.

Getting here is simple: take GA 80 northwest out of Waynesboro to Wrens, pick up GA 17 into Thomson, and we are on Washington Road at 2158 Washington Rd Thomson, GA 30824. Full turn-by-turn directions to our Thomson showroom are on the site along with department hours. Once you are here you will find a full Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram and FIAT showroom, a stocked parts department, and a service drive built for towing customers rather than city commuters. Come look at a Durango, price a trade, or just get a straight answer about what your Dodge needs next.
