2018 Dodge Durango Performance and Engine

3.6L Pentastar V6 and 8-Speed Automatic

Under the hood sits Dodge's legendary 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, producing around 293 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, this powertrain delivers a smooth, confident driving experience whether you're navigating downtown Detroit, merging onto I-75, or heading north on a weekend trip. The 8-speed gearbox keeps the engine in its optimal power band, contributing to better fuel efficiency than older 6-speed rivals.

Dodge Durango Features and Interior

SXT Plus Trim Level Highlights

The SXT Plus trim builds meaningfully on the standard SXT, adding features that buyers often associate with higher trim levels. Expect a well-appointed cabin with seating for up to seven passengers across three rows, a Uconnect infotainment system with touchscreen interface, Bluetooth connectivity, and hands-free calling. The SXT Plus package commonly adds upgraded interior materials, additional tech features, and enhanced comfort appointments that make longer drives across Michigan genuinely pleasant. The interior is designed with practicality in mind — ample cargo space behind the third row, wide door openings, and controls laid out in Dodge's driver-forward cockpit style.

Dodge Durango Reliability and Ownership

The Durango has earned a strong reputation among owners who put real miles on their vehicles. The 3.6L Pentastar V6 is one of Chrysler's most widely used and well-regarded engines, found across dozens of models and proven in millions of vehicles on the road today. Common owner feedback highlights the engine's durability, the transmission's smooth shifting, and the overall solid feel of the Durango's construction. At higher mileage, standard maintenance items like spark plugs, coolant flushes, and transmission fluid changes become more relevant — buyers should confirm service history and budget for routine upkeep. Overall, a well-maintained Durango at this mileage is a smart, cost-effective buy for Michigan families.
