2018 Dodge Durango Performance and Engine

5.7-Liter HEMI V8 Power

The heart of this Durango R/T is the 5.7-liter HEMI V8, producing 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque in stock form. That's genuine truck-grade power wrapped in an SUV body — and it's paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that keeps the engine in its powerband whether you're cruising on I-696 or towing a boat up to Lake St. Clair.
 

AWD Capability for Michigan Conditions

The all-wheel-drive system on this Durango is purpose-built for four-season driving. Detroit winters can be brutal, and having AWD means you're not white-knuckling it through snowstorms or navigating icy side streets with anxiety. The Durango's AWD system also supports towing capacities up to 7,200 lbs when properly equipped, making it a genuine workhorse for hauling trailers, campers, or equipment.

Dodge Durango R/T Features and Interior

The R/T trim elevates the Durango experience with sport-tuned suspension, unique R/T badging, and an interior that leans toward premium comfort. Expect features consistent with this trim and model year, including a responsive Uconnect infotainment system, available Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather-trimmed seating, and a power-adjustable driver's seat.

Third-row seating means this Durango can carry up to seven passengers, making it one of the few V8-powered three-row SUVs on the used market in this price range. The cabin is spacious and practical — cargo space behind the third row is functional, and folding the rear seats flat opens up a genuinely usable hauling area.

Dodge Durango Reliability and Ownership

The 2018 Dodge Durango has earned a reputation as a durable, dependable SUV when maintained properly. The 5.7-liter HEMI engine is one of the most proven powerplants in the American automotive industry — it's used across Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Chrysler platforms and has been refined over decades. Owners consistently report that these engines run strong well past 150,000 miles with regular oil changes and basic maintenance.

The 8-speed ZF-sourced automatic transmission is equally well-regarded when serviced on schedule. Common owner feedback on the 2018 Durango highlights its composed highway ride, strong braking performance, and the satisfying rumble of the HEMI under acceleration. At over 122,000 miles, buyers should budget for routine wear items — brakes, tires, and fluid services — but the mechanicals on a well-maintained R/T are built to keep going.
