Is the 2016 Dodge Durango a good car?

Yes — the 2016 Dodge Durango earns a 5/5 user rating and a 6.5/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 8/10.

The Durango stands out because it offers rear-wheel drive and serious towing capacity in a market dominated by crossovers. That gives you a more truck-like character than many family-oriented rivals, while still keeping the three-row layout and everyday utility that shoppers in this segment want.

Is the 2016 Dodge Durango reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Durango’s appeal is built around utility, towing strength, and a rugged character, and the expert evaluation also points to a strong safety score and solid overall capability. The V6 version’s stop/start system is part of the efficiency story, and the model’s towing-focused setup reinforces its practical side.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a heavier, more capability-focused SUV can bring more wear on components over time, so condition and maintenance history matter.

What should I look for when buying a used 2016 Dodge Durango?

At 59.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a thorough pre-purchase inspection. Focus on signs of prior body damage, uneven panel gaps, tire wear, brake condition, and any evidence that towing or heavy use has accelerated wear.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base SXT includes 18-inch alloys, heated mirrors, auto headlights, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, keyless ignition and entry, a load-leveling rear suspension, cruise control, 3-row climate controls, fog lamps, and a 5-inch Uconnect touchscreen. Higher trims add features like the larger 8.4-inch touchscreen, navigation, leather, power seats, heated second-row seating, and more upscale exterior and interior touches.
• Powertrain: The standard setup is a 3.6-liter V6 with 290 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic. It can tow up to 6,200 pounds. The R/T uses a 5.7-liter V8 with 360 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque and can tow up to 7,400 pounds.
• Safety package: The Safety/Security & Convenience Group adds blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert, auto HID headlights and wipers, a power-adjustable steering wheel, and a cargo cover with net. The Technology Group adds adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning and avoidance, plus blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert. Those features are not standard on lower trims.
• Infotainment: The available Uconnect 8.4 system uses an 8.4-inch touchscreen. It adds voice controls, satellite radio, emergency telematics, Siri Eyes Free, and a Do Not Disturb feature. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not included.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 is rated at 19 mpg city and 26 highway, while the V8 is rated at 14 mpg city and 22 highway.

Which 2016 Dodge Durango trim should I buy?

The 2016 Dodge Durango is offered in 5 trim levels: SXT, Limited, Citadel, R/T, and Rallye.

Here's the short version:

• SXT: This is the value-focused starting point, and it already gives you a strong feature set for the money. You get the core Durango experience with useful comfort and convenience equipment, but you’ll want to check whether the safety and tech packages you want are included.
• Limited: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds a more complete mix of comfort, convenience, and upscale features without jumping all the way to the pricier upper trims. It also can be paired with appearance packages that give the Durango more personality.
• Citadel: This trim leans into luxury and equipment, adding more leather, more convenience features, upgraded brakes, and additional premium touches. It suits you best if you want a more upscale family SUV without going all the way to the R/T.
• R/T: This is the performance and towing choice, with the 5.7-liter V8, sport suspension, and a more aggressive setup. It’s the one to buy if you want maximum power and capability.
• Rallye: This is the appearance-oriented choice, adding extra horsepower, black 20-inch wheels, and more aggressive exterior trim. It makes sense if style matters more to you than a major equipment upgrade.

The safety package note matters here: blind-spot monitoring and adaptive cruise are not broadly standard, so check trim and option content carefully before you buy.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2016 Dodge Durango?

What is the 2016 Dodge Durango's resale value?

The current average of $13,552 sits slightly below last year's $14,226.

That tells you the market has softened, which can make the Durango more attractive to buyers now but less favorable if you’re thinking about near-term resale. If you buy at the right price and keep the vehicle in strong condition, you can help protect your future value.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Should I buy a 2016 Dodge Durango or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2016 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2016 if:

• 27.3% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 59.4% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.74% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2016 adds fresh wheels, more exterior colors, and a Sport driving mode that sharpens response.

Consider the 2017 if:

• At $14,893, the 2017 costs more than the current year's $13,552 average.
• It adds a more refined cabin with a rugged, function-first character.

The bottom line: If you want the better value today, the 2016 is the stronger buy because prices have softened and inventory is healthy. If you’re willing to spend more for the next model year, the 2017 is the better path for shoppers who want a newer example and can justify the higher asking price.
