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.

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.
