About This 2017 Dodge Durango GT

This 2017 Dodge Durango GT comes in at 112,686 miles — a number that tells you this SUV has been put to real use, but well within the range that Durango owners commonly report trouble-free driving. The Durango platform is built for the long haul, and many examples of this generation cruise comfortably past 150,000 to 200,000 miles with proper maintenance.

The GT trim sits above the base SXT and brings meaningful upgrades in both style and content that make the extra investment worthwhile.
 

2017 Dodge Durango Performance and Engine

Under the hood, this Durango GT runs the legendary Pentastar V6 displacing 3.6 liters — one of the most decorated engines in the domestic truck and SUV segment. It produces 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, numbers that feel very much alive when you're merging onto I-75 or hauling the whole family across Michigan. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the Durango delivers smooth, confident power delivery across the full rev range, and the added ratio spread of the 8-speed helps keep fuel economy competitive for a vehicle this size.

The all-wheel-drive system on this Durango is a major selling point for Detroit-area buyers who deal with lake-effect snow, icy overpasses, and wet city streets throughout much of the year. The AWD setup works seamlessly without driver input, distributing torque between the front and rear axles as conditions demand. The Durango is also rated to tow up to 6,200 pounds in V6 configuration — capable enough for a boat, a camper, or a trailer without needing to step up to the R/T or SRT.
 

Dodge Durango GT Features and Interior

The GT trim takes everything good about the standard Durango and layers on a meaningful package of comfort and style upgrades. Inside, you'll find heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and an upgraded Uconnect infotainment system with an 8.4-inch touchscreen — widely considered one of the most intuitive systems in the segment, especially in this generation. Bluetooth connectivity, USB inputs, and available satellite radio come standard in this configuration.

The Durango GT also gets sport-appearance exterior upgrades including unique badging, body-colored accents, and in most builds, 20-inch alloy wheels that give the SUV a sharper, more aggressive stance. Three-row seating accommodates up to seven passengers, and the second and third rows fold to create a genuinely useful cargo area when you need the space. The cabin is broad and well-thought-out, with enough storage pockets, cup holders, and charge points to keep a busy family organized on long drives across the state.
 

Dodge Durango Reliability and Ownership

The 2017 Dodge Durango has a solid ownership reputation, particularly among buyers who prioritize practicality and longevity. The Pentastar 3.6L V6 is one of the most widely praised domestic engines of the past two decades — robust, parts-affordable, and not prone to any catastrophic known failure modes at this mileage range. The 8-speed automatic has been well-received in this generation after refinements made in the mid-2010s, and owners consistently report smooth, reliable shifting well into the six-figure mileage territory.

Common ownership advice for the Durango at this stage includes staying current on transmission fluid, keeping an eye on the differential fluid if you're using AWD regularly, and maintaining the cooling system. None of these are unusual for any high-mileage SUV, and parts availability for the Durango through both OEM and aftermarket channels in the Detroit area is excellent. Overall, consumer satisfaction scores for the 2017 Durango remain strong, with buyers frequently citing ride comfort, interior space, and towing capability as standout qualities.
