Used 2016 Dodge Durango for Sale nearNewburgh, NY

How much does the 2016 Dodge Durango cost?

Prices have softened 4.28% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 895 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

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’s appeal comes from its rear-wheel-drive availability, serious towing capacity, and more truck-like personality than many family haulers. The overview also points to a standard stop/start feature and a sport-oriented R/T trim, so you get a three-row SUV that leans more toward capability and attitude than a typical crossover.

The market shows 32.4% of listings as good or great deals, which suggests there are still worthwhile opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2016 Dodge Durango reliable?

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

The Durango’s overview and expert notes point to a vehicle that can handle family duty while still offering strong towing and a broad trim range. The expert commentary also emphasizes that the V6 version is the more sensible choice if you do not need V8 power, while the heavier platform can mean more wear on tires, brakes, and suspension parts over time.

The performance notes also highlight the V6’s towing ability and the V8’s stronger output, which suggests the drivetrain choice matters a lot for how the vehicle ages in your use case. For used buyers, the biggest long-term ownership risk is choosing a configuration that is more capability than you actually need.

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

At 58.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should run a vehicle history report before you get too far into the process, then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection on any listing that looks especially well priced. Focus on body condition, signs of prior repair, and whether the equipment level matches the trim you think you’re buying.

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 Uconnect system with a 5-inch touchscreen. Higher trims add features like remote ignition, leather, power seats, navigation, upgraded audio, and more appearance content, so the base trim is the one most likely to feel stripped down.
• Powertrain: The standard 3.6-liter V6 is the volume engine, and it comes with stop/start, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and strong towing ability for the class. The R/T’s 5.7-liter V8 brings much stronger acceleration and towing capacity, but it also comes with worse fuel economy.
• Safety package: The available 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 lower trims do not get this package.
• Infotainment: The Uconnect 8.4 system brings an 8.4-inch touchscreen, voice controls, satellite radio, and emergency telematics. It does not include Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
• 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 Premium Group.

Here's the short version:

• SXT: This is the entry point, and it already brings a decent amount of equipment, including the 5-inch Uconnect touchscreen, keyless entry, and a load-leveling rear suspension. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Durango, but it is the trim most likely to leave you wanting more tech and convenience.
• Limited: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds remote ignition, auto-dimming power-folding mirrors, leather, a power passenger seat, second-row heat, LED running lights, driver memory settings, and more USB and navigation options. It strikes the best balance of features and price.
• Citadel: This trim leans more upscale with additional leather, chrome exterior trim, upgraded brakes, 20-inch wheels, front-seat ventilation, a 9-speaker stereo, and standard sunroof inclusion. It suits you if comfort and appearance matter more than value.
• R/T: This is the performance-oriented choice, with the 5.7-liter V8, sport suspension, unique body-color trim, Nappa leather, performance steering tuning, and the Beats stereo. It is the right pick if towing and stronger acceleration are your priorities.
• Premium Group: This is not a separate trim level in the usual sense, but a package that adds the Beats audio system and rear-seat entertainment to the upper trims. It is best if you want the most family-friendly entertainment setup.

The Safety/Security & Convenience Group is not available on the SXT, so if safety tech matters to you, shop higher in the lineup.

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

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage but still need to move quickly on the right listing.

• Deal availability: 32.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 895 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.28% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 58.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $13,315, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2016 Dodge Durango's resale value?

The current average of $13,315 sits slightly below last year's $13,909.

That price movement suggests the Durango has softened a bit in the used market, which can help you as a buyer today. For a future seller, it means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment rather than on broad market appreciation.

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

Is the 2016 Dodge Durango safe?

The 2016 Dodge Durango earns a four-star overall rating from NHTSA, with five-star ratings in side impacts.

It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.

The Durango includes 4-wheel antilock discs, stability control, traction control, trailer sway control, and a full suite of airbags. The available Safety/Security & Convenience Group adds blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert, and the Technology Group can add adaptive cruise control plus forward-collision warning and avoidance.

The expert notes also point out that some safety features are kept on the options list rather than made standard, especially on lower trims. That means you should verify exactly which driver-assistance features are present on any used example you’re considering.

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:

• 32.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 58.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 4.28% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Expert or safety highlight specific to this year: the 2016 model adds a standard stop/start feature and stronger R/T equipment.

Consider the 2017 if:

• At $14,401, the 2017 costs more than the current year's $13,315 average.
• It offers a more refined cabin with a broader range of comfort and entertainment options.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2016 is the smarter buy because it combines a lower average price with strong satisfaction and solid capability. If you’re willing to spend more for a newer model year and a slightly more polished interior experience, the 2017 is the secondary path to consider.
