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 has this powerful, V8-powered SUV ready for its next owner — a versatile three-row machine that delivers muscle car energy in a family-hauler body. With a HEMI under the hood, all-wheel drive, and the performance-focused R/T trim, this Durango stands apart from the typical crossover crowd. Come see it at our lot right here in Detroit, in the heart of Wayne County.

About This 2019 Dodge Durango R/T

This 2019 Dodge Durango R/T is a high-mileage SUV that punches well above its price point. At 118,558 miles, this truck-based SUV has been built to go the distance — and the Durango's body-on-frame-derived platform is one of the reasons buyers in this mileage range still find strong value in these vehicles. The R/T trim is the sweet spot of the Durango lineup: you get the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V8 without jumping to the full SRT price tag, making this an attainable performance SUV for Detroit-area buyers who want something with real character.

This is not a crossover that apologizes for itself. The Durango R/T is designed for buyers who want a real engine, real towing capability, and a real presence on the road. If you've been cross-shopping softened-up SUVs and finding them lacking, this is your answer.

2019 Dodge Durango R/T Performance and Engine

5.7-Liter HEMI V8 Power

The 5.7-liter HEMI V8 in the 2019 Durango R/T produces 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque — figures that make it one of the most powerful non-SRT SUVs in its class. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the HEMI delivers smooth, confident power across the entire rev range. Whether you're merging onto I-94, hauling gear up to the Upper Peninsula, or towing a boat to one of Michigan's inland lakes, this engine handles it without breaking a sweat.
 

AWD and Towing Capability

All-wheel drive comes standard on this example, giving you year-round traction confidence across Detroit winters and beyond. The Durango R/T with AWD is rated to tow up to 7,400 pounds when properly equipped — a genuine capability advantage over most three-row crossover competitors. The 8-speed automatic helps optimize fuel delivery across all driving conditions, keeping highway cruising more efficient than you might expect from a V8 SUV.

Dodge Durango R/T Features and Interior

What the R/T Trim Delivers

The R/T is Dodge's performance-without-compromise trim level, and it comes loaded. Expect sport-tuned suspension, a performance exhaust that gives the HEMI its signature rumble, unique R/T badging, and upgraded interior materials over the base trim. The 2019 Durango R/T typically includes Uconnect infotainment with an 8.4-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and available rear-seat entertainment.
 

Three-Row Space and Practicality

Despite its performance focus, the Durango doesn't sacrifice practicality. The cabin seats up to seven passengers across three rows, giving families real space rather than the tight-squeeze third row you find in most competitors. Cargo space behind the third row is usable for daily errands, and with seats folded, it opens into a genuinely large haul space — important for Michigan buyers who need an SUV that truly works year-round.

Dodge Durango Reliability and Ownership

The Dodge Durango has earned a reputation as one of the more durable American SUVs on the market, particularly models equipped with the 5.7-liter HEMI. The HEMI engine itself has a long track record of high-mileage reliability when properly maintained — it's not unusual to see well-kept examples running strong past 200,000 miles. The 8-speed automatic transmission in the 2019 model year is a refined unit that benefits from regular fluid services.

Owners consistently praise the Durango R/T for its driving engagement — it feels more like a muscle car than a minivan, which is a rarity in the three-row segment. Common maintenance items to stay on top of include spark plug replacements around the 100,000-mile mark, transmission fluid changes, and keeping up with the cooling system. At 118,558 miles, a pre-purchase inspection is always a smart move, and Best of Michigan Auto Sales encourages buyers to do their due diligence. The upside: HEMI-powered Durangos depreciate more gracefully than you might expect, and used R/T examples represent some of the best performance-per-dollar in today's used SUV market.
