About This 2017 Dodge Durango GT

This 2017 Dodge Durango GT rolls in with 123,277 miles on the odometer, which is completely respectable for a three-row SUV that was built to go the distance. The Durango platform is known for its truck-derived durability, and at this mileage, a well-maintained example still has plenty of road ahead of it. Available now in stock at Best of Michigan Auto Sales in Detroit in Wayne County, this is the kind of used SUV that makes sense for families, commuters, and weekend adventurers alike. The GT trim sits comfortably above the base SXT, bringing added style and features that make daily driving genuinely enjoyable.
 

2017 Dodge Durango GT Performance and Engine

Under the hood, this Durango GT carries Dodge's proven 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine — one of the most widely praised powerplants in the segment. Producing around 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, it gives this SUV more than adequate thrust for highway merging, loaded family trips, and towing lighter loads. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the power delivery is smooth and responsive, with the added benefit of improved fuel efficiency compared to older 5- or 6-speed units. The all-wheel drive system provides confident traction in Michigan winters — a genuine advantage for Wayne County drivers who deal with snow, slush, and unpredictable road conditions from November through March. The Durango's AWD setup is driver-selectable, giving you the flexibility to run in rear-wheel-drive mode when conditions allow and save fuel in the process.
 

Dodge Durango GT Features and Interior

GT Trim Highlights

The GT trim gives this Durango a sportier identity without sacrificing comfort. Buyers stepping into this cabin will find a well-appointed interior with available leather-trimmed seating, a heated front row, and Dodge's Uconnect infotainment system — widely regarded as one of the more intuitive setups in its class. The touchscreen interface handles navigation, Bluetooth audio, and hands-free calling without the clunky menu structures found in some competitors.
 

Space and Practicality

Three-row seating accommodates up to seven passengers, making the Durango GT a strong choice for larger families or anyone who regularly hauls people and gear at the same time. Cargo space behind the third row is usable for everyday errands, and folding those rows flat opens up serious hauling room. Remote start, a power liftgate, and roof rail capability add to the overall practicality that makes this SUV so well-suited for Detroit-area life.
 

Dodge Durango Reliability and Ownership

The Durango has built a loyal following largely because it delivers on durability when properly maintained. The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is shared across a huge range of Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep products — which means parts are widely available, mechanics know the engine well, and maintenance costs stay reasonable. Owners frequently report that these SUVs cross the 150,000- and even 200,000-mile marks without major mechanical complaints when routine service has been followed. Common things to watch on any used Durango at this mileage include the transfer case fluid, transmission fluid condition, and the TIPM (totally integrated power module), which is a known weak point on some model years — but a pre-purchase inspection can quickly identify any concerns. Overall, the 2017 model year represents a well-refined generation of the Durango that ironed out many of the earlier issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2017 Dodge Durango GT a good buy?

Yes — the 2017 Durango GT is widely considered a strong value in the used three-row SUV segment. It offers genuine V6 power, available AWD, three-row seating, and a proven infotainment system at a price point well below comparable new models. For buyers in Michigan who need towing capability and all-weather traction, it's a particularly practical choice.
 

How many miles is too many for a used Dodge Durango?

A well-maintained Durango with 123,000 miles is far from the end of its life. These SUVs routinely reach 180,000 to 200,000 miles with consistent oil changes and fluid maintenance. The key is reviewing the service history and having a trusted mechanic inspect it before purchase — which any reputable dealership should welcome.
 

What does the Durango GT trim include over the base SXT?

The GT trim adds a sport-tuned suspension, unique exterior badging, upgraded interior materials, and additional comfort and convenience features compared to the base SXT. It sits as a mid-level trim that bridges the gap between the entry-level SXT and the higher-end R/T and Citadel trims, giving buyers a nice balance of value and refinement.
 

Does the 2017 Dodge Durango have all-wheel drive?

This specific example is equipped with all-wheel drive, which is a significant advantage for Michigan buyers dealing with winter weather. The AWD system can be toggled between 2WD and AWD modes, giving drivers flexibility based on road conditions and a modest fuel economy benefit during dry-weather driving.
 

What is the towing capacity of the 2017 Dodge Durango V6?

With the 3.6-liter V6 and the optional tow package equipped, the 2017 Durango can tow up to 6,200 pounds — more than enough for a boat, small camper, or utility trailer. This sets it apart from many crossover SUVs in the same price range that can barely manage 2,000 to 3,500 pounds.
