2009 Dodge Journey R/T AWD

The 2009 Dodge Journey R/T AWD shares all the drivetrain, exterior, and interior features of the front-wheel-drive R/T and simply adds Dodge’s automatic AWD system. (This is in contrast to the SXT AWD, which does add a few other features to the SXT FWD trim.) The AWD system moves power and traction to the rear wheels as needed, the automation reducing the need for driver input (and thus driver distraction) and also increasing fuel efficiency. Still, the R/T AWD does get slightly lower mileage, coming in at 15 city/22 highway mpg.
