About This 2017 Dodge Durango R/T

The R/T badge on a Durango means business. This isn't the base trim you settle for — it's the performance-focused step up that gives you genuine V8 power, sport-tuned suspension, and an aggressive stance that turns heads on Woodward Avenue or the Lodge Freeway. The exterior red finish makes this Durango impossible to miss, and at just over 109,000 miles, this three-row SUV has plenty of road life left in it. For a 2017 model year vehicle, mileage in this range is well within the expected lifespan of Dodge's proven Hemi powertrain, which is routinely known to last 200,000-plus miles with proper maintenance.

2017 Dodge Durango R/T Performance and Engine

5.7L HEMI V8 — Real Power for Real Roads

The heart of this Durango R/T is the legendary 5.7L HEMI V8, producing 360 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque in standard configuration. Paired with an automatic transmission and Dodge's rear-wheel-drive or available all-wheel-drive platform, this engine delivers effortless highway passing power and a towing capacity of up to 7,400 pounds — rare in the three-row SUV segment. Whether you're merging onto I-94 or heading up north to the Upper Peninsula for a weekend trip, the HEMI makes every drive feel confident and controlled. The overhead-valve design of this engine is a proven, durable architecture that mechanics across Michigan know well.

Sport and Comfort in One Package

The R/T trim elevates the Durango experience with sport leather-trimmed seats, a performance steering wheel, and upgraded audio. Expect features like an 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility (on updated systems), heated front seats, remote start, and tri-zone climate control. The cabin seats up to seven passengers and provides genuine cargo space behind the third row — a practical advantage over smaller crossovers. R/T models also receive unique badging, sport pedals, and dark exterior accents that separate them visually from the standard Durango lineup.
