2019 DODGE DURANGO

If you're searching for a 2019 Dodge Durango R/T for sale in Detroit, MI, your search ends here. Best of Michigan Auto Sales, located in Detroit in Wayne County, has this powerful, V8-powered SUV ready for a test drive. With seating for up to seven, a legendary HEMI engine under the hood, and genuine AWD capability, this Durango R/T is built for buyers who refuse to compromise between performance and practicality.

At 122,355 miles, this 2019 Durango is right in the sweet spot for a used SUV purchase — enough miles to have taken the early depreciation hit, but well within the range where a well-maintained HEMI-powered Dodge can deliver years of reliable service. The Durango R/T trim sits above the base SXT and GT, bringing the performance-focused 5.7L HEMI V8 that sets it apart from most three-row SUVs on the market.

About This 2019 Dodge Durango R/T

The 2019 Dodge Durango R/T is one of the more underrated used SUV purchases available today. Most three-row family haulers are powered by turbocharged four-cylinders or modest V6 engines — the Durango R/T bucks that trend entirely with a naturally aspirated 5.7L HEMI V8. This particular example comes equipped with AWD, making it a strong fit for Michigan drivers who deal with Detroit winters, slick city streets, and everything in between. The R/T trim also delivers a sportier appearance and driving character that separates it from the crowd in parking lots and on the highway alike.

With over 122,000 miles, buyers should expect a vehicle that has been used and lived in, but the Durango's robust platform was engineered for long-term durability. At this price point, you're getting a lot of truck for the money.

2019 Dodge Durango R/T Performance and Engine

5.7L HEMI V8 — Real Power in a Family SUV

The 2019 Dodge Durango R/T is powered by the iconic 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine, producing 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. That's a substantial output for a family SUV — enough to move seven passengers and a full load of cargo without breaking a sweat. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the HEMI delivers smooth, responsive acceleration whether you're merging onto I-75, cruising on I-96, or pulling a trailer on the weekend.
 

AWD for Michigan Roads

The AWD system on this Durango R/T uses Dodge's On-Demand All-Wheel Drive, which distributes power between the front and rear axles as conditions demand. For drivers in the Detroit metro area — dealing with snow, ice, and wet roads from November through March — AWD gives genuine peace of mind without requiring any driver input. This isn't a soft crossover AWD system; the Durango's setup is derived from the same Chrysler architecture used in performance and truck-based vehicles.

Towing capacity on the 2019 Durango R/T with the standard tow package is rated at up to 6,200 lbs, making it one of the highest-rated towing SUVs in its class.

Dodge Durango R/T Features and Interior

What the R/T Trim Brings to the Table

The R/T trim level on the 2019 Durango steps up meaningfully from the base configurations. Buyers can expect sport-tuned suspension, R/T badging, and upgraded interior appointments that give the cabin a more premium, performance-oriented feel. The Durango's interior is built around a driver-focused cockpit with an Uconnect infotainment system that was considered one of the best in the industry for its responsiveness and ease of use.

Standard features typically found on the 2019 Durango R/T include a large touchscreen display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, tri-zone climate control, heated front seats, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The three-row layout provides genuine flexibility — fold the third row for cargo, or expand it for a full family load. The second and third rows are more accommodating than many competing three-row SUVs, particularly for adults.
 

Safety Technology

The 2019 Durango R/T includes a suite of active and passive safety features, including blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-path detection, and a rearview camera. The ParkSense rear parking assist system is a practical feature for urban driving in Detroit where parking can be tight.

Dodge Durango R/T Reliability and Ownership

The Dodge Durango has a strong reputation among owners who keep them long-term, and the 5.7L HEMI V8 is one of the most proven engines in the Chrysler/Stellantis lineup. The HEMI has been in production for decades with continuous refinement, and it's not unusual to see these engines exceed 200,000 miles with proper maintenance.

Common ownership notes for the 2019 Durango include the importance of staying on top of oil changes (the HEMI prefers conventional service intervals), checking the transmission fluid at higher mileage, and monitoring the rear differential fluid on AWD models. The 8-speed ZF-sourced automatic is generally reliable but benefits from periodic fluid changes.

J.D. Power rated the 2019 Durango above average in dependability for its segment. Owners frequently cite the powertrain durability, interior space, and towing capability as standout strengths. The main trade-off compared to Japanese competitors is fuel economy — expect mid-teens in city driving and upper-teens on the highway — but for buyers who prioritize performance and capability, that's an accepted trade-off.

At 122,355 miles, a thorough pre-purchase inspection is always a smart move. The Durango platform at this mileage, if properly maintained, has a lot of life remaining.
