Finished in a sharp black exterior, this Durango GT brings bold styling, V6 power, and genuine family-hauling capability to the table — all at a price point that makes sense for budget-conscious buyers in the Detroit metro area.

About This 2017 Dodge Durango GT

The 2017 Dodge Durango GT sits comfortably in the middle of the Durango lineup — above the base SXT but below the R/T and Citadel — giving buyers a well-rounded combination of features and value. At 165,560 miles, this Durango has clearly been around the block, but that doesn't tell the whole story. The Durango platform is known for aging gracefully, and buyers who are comfortable with higher-mileage vehicles often find these rigs still have years of dependable service left when properly maintained. The black exterior gives this one serious street presence, making it stand out among the used SUV crowd in Wayne County.

2017 Dodge Durango GT Performance and Engine

The 3.6L Pentastar V6 Under the Hood

This Durango GT is powered by Dodge's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine — one of the most celebrated engines in the Chrysler/FCA stable. Producing around 295 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, it delivers confident acceleration for an SUV of this size. Paired with an automatic transmission, the power delivery is smooth whether you're navigating Detroit city streets, merging onto I-75, or loading up for a weekend trip up north. The Pentastar V6 is also capable of towing up to 6,200 pounds when properly equipped, which adds genuine utility beyond just passenger hauling. Rear-wheel drive is standard on this configuration, keeping things simple and cost-effective for everyday Michigan driving.

Dodge Durango GT Features and Interior

What the GT Trim Brings to the Cabin

The GT trim level on the 2017 Durango steps up meaningfully from the base configuration. Buyers can expect features such as the Uconnect 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, remote start, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a power liftgate. The Durango seats up to seven passengers across three rows, making it a genuine alternative to minivans for growing families. The second-row captain's chairs available on the GT provide a more comfortable and accessible experience for rear passengers. Cargo space behind the third row checks in at around 17 cubic feet, expanding significantly when seats are folded.

Dodge Durango Reliability and Ownership

What to Expect from a High-Mileage Durango

The Dodge Durango has earned a reputation as a durable, capable SUV that can rack up serious miles when maintained. The 3.6L Pentastar engine, specifically, is widely regarded as one of the more reliable powerplants in the segment — it's used across dozens of Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles and has an extensive parts and service network behind it. That said, at 165,560 miles, buyers should plan for normal high-mileage ownership realities: potential transmission service, coolant and brake fluid flushes, and suspension component inspection are all reasonable expectations. A pre-purchase inspection from a trusted Detroit-area mechanic is always a smart move. Owners who stay ahead of maintenance typically find the Durango rewarding for the long haul.
