About This 2018 Dodge Durango GT

The Durango is widely recognized as one of the more durable three-row SUVs on the used market, and the GT trim hits a sweet spot between base-model stripped-down and fully loaded overkill.

2018 Dodge Durango GT Performance and Engine

V6 Power That Doesn't Feel Like a Compromise

Under the hood sits Dodge's legendary 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and full all-wheel drive. In the Durango, the Pentastar produces around 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque — enough to confidently merge onto I-75, pass on the highway, or tow a trailer up to 6,200 pounds when properly equipped. The 8-speed automatic is one of the better transmission calibrations in this class, keeping the engine in its power band without hunting for gears on the highway.

The AWD system is particularly valuable for drivers in the Detroit metro area and throughout Wayne County, where winter road conditions can be unpredictable. This isn't just a part-time system — the Durango's AWD provides real confidence on slick surfaces without sacrificing dry-weather fuel efficiency.

Dodge Durango GT Features and Interior

Three-Row Capability With GT-Level Comfort

The GT trim elevates the Durango well beyond the base SXT with a sportier exterior package, upgraded interior materials, and a more premium overall feel. Buyers can expect features like Dodge's Uconnect infotainment system with an available 8.4-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The third row makes it a legitimate seven-passenger hauler — ideal for families across the Detroit area who need the versatility of a minivan but want something that actually looks good in the driveway.

Cargo space is generous behind the third row, and with all seats folded, the Durango opens up into a surprisingly practical hauler. The interior layout is driver-focused, with most controls falling naturally to hand and the Uconnect system consistently rated as one of the easiest infotainment interfaces in the segment.

Dodge Durango GT Reliability and Ownership

What Owners and Experts Say

The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 has an excellent long-term track record. It's been used across Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and Ram products for well over a decade, and with proper oil changes and maintenance it routinely runs past 200,000 miles. The 8-speed transmission is equally proven. At this mileage range, buyers should be aware of common maintenance items — brake wear, suspension bushings, and the condition of the cooling system are worth a pre-purchase inspection. The Durango's body-on-frame-adjacent construction gives it a durability advantage over many unibody crossover competitors.

Overall ownership costs are reasonable for a vehicle of this size, and parts availability is excellent given how common the Pentastar platform is. This is a truck-culture SUV that responds well to regular maintenance and rewards attentive owners.
