The Dodge Durango can withstand mileage ranging from 200,000 to 250,000 miles or more with proper maintenance. It is recommended to replace the oil every 7,500 miles for newer models, while older models running on conventional oil should have the oil changed every 5,000 miles. Transmission fluid should be replaced every 90,000 miles for newer models and every 60,000 miles for older models. It's important to check if your model uses a timing belt or chain; vehicles with chains typically do not need to be replaced, but those with belts will need replacement every 75,000 miles or so.

    My 2002 Durango SXT has clocked 280,000 miles. All recalls have been taken care of and there have been no significant issues so far. It still runs and handles like it's brand new, but the check engine light tends to pop on frequently without cause.

    My 1997 Dodge Dakota with the 3.9 V-6 engine has clocked in at 334,000 miles. The transmission needed rebuilding at 305,000 miles, but other than that, it's been typical wear and tear with yearly repair expenses usually staying below $500.

  • Angel Gomez

    I own a 2007 Dodge Durango SX, which will be turning 15 in July. It has only clocked 57,000 miles and still runs great. On the other hand, I also have a 2007 Dodge Durango SLT with 164,000 miles, and I am currently installing a new engine in it. Despite having the opportunity to purchase a new one, I wouldn't trade these vehicles for anything. However, the new model resembles a minivan with oversized 20-inch wheels in my opinion.
