About This 2017 Dodge Durango SXT

At 110,496 miles, this 2017 Durango sits comfortably in the sweet spot for used SUV buyers in Wayne County. Dodge Durangos are well-known for having long, productive service lives — many owners routinely push past 150,000 to 200,000 miles with proper maintenance. That means this vehicle still has plenty of road left ahead of it. The SXT trim is the ideal entry point into the Durango lineup, delivering a well-rounded mix of utility, comfort, and technology without unnecessary complexity. Whether you're hauling the family across town or loading up for a weekend trip up north, this Durango was built for exactly that kind of Michigan lifestyle.
 

2017 Dodge Durango Performance and Engine

Under the hood, this Durango is powered by Dodge's proven 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and a full-time all-wheel-drive system. The Pentastar V6 produces 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, giving this SUV genuine passing power and confident highway merging ability. The 8-speed automatic keeps the engine in its ideal power band, which also contributes to better fuel economy than older 5- or 6-speed setups.

AWD is a major selling point for buyers in the Detroit metro area and throughout southeastern Michigan, where lake-effect snow and icy road conditions are a regular reality from November through March. This system continuously monitors traction and distributes power between the front and rear axles without any driver input required — it simply works when you need it most. The Durango's body-on-frame-adjacent unibody construction also gives it a towing capacity of up to 6,200 lbs with the V6, making it genuinely useful for trailering a small boat, ATV, or camper.
 

Dodge Durango SXT Features and Interior

The 2017 Durango SXT comes well-equipped right out of the box. Inside, you'll find three rows of seating with a standard second-row bench that accommodates up to seven passengers — a significant advantage over two-row competitors. The cabin features Dodge's Uconnect infotainment system, which earned strong praise from owners and automotive reviewers alike for its intuitive layout, responsive touchscreen, and minimal learning curve.

Standard features on the SXT trim include a rearview camera, Bluetooth connectivity, a USB input, steering wheel-mounted audio and cruise controls, air conditioning with rear ventilation, and a fold-flat third row that expands cargo space significantly when extra passenger room isn't needed. The Durango's interior dimensions are among the most generous in the three-row SUV segment — this isn't a cramped "bonus seat" situation. Adults can realistically ride in the third row on longer trips, which sets the Durango apart from many crossover alternatives.
 

Dodge Durango Reliability and Ownership

The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 has a strong reputation across multiple Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep platforms. It's been refined over many model years and is considered one of the more dependable domestic V6 engines in its class. The 2017 Durango specifically benefits from updates that addressed earlier cooling and cam phaser issues that affected some pre-2016 Pentastar engines.

Owners of the 2017 Durango consistently highlight the powertrain smoothness, interior space, and ride quality as standout positives. Common ownership notes include keeping up with transmission fluid changes given the 8-speed's sensitivity to fluid condition, and routine maintenance of the transfer case and AWD components — especially important here in Michigan where road salt accelerates wear on undercarriage parts. Overall, buyers who maintain this generation of Durango properly report a satisfying, largely trouble-free ownership experience well into six-figure mileage territory.
