Is the 2017 Dodge Durango a good car?

Yes — the 2017 Dodge Durango earns a 4.6/5 user rating and a 7.2/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Performance, Form and function, and Technology.

Is the 2017 Dodge Durango reliable?

Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with many drivers highlighting the Durango as a vehicle they can count on for family use. The expert evaluation also emphasizes confidence and control from the drivetrain and chassis, which supports the sense that it is built for steady long-term use. On the ownership side, the included 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty and roadside assistance help reduce early-life risk for used buyers.

For a used purchase, the main long-term ownership risk is that higher-mileage examples may have seen hard use, so condition and maintenance history matter more than the badge alone.

What should I look for when buying a used 2017 Dodge Durango?

At 59.6% 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 pre-purchase inspection, especially on higher-mileage or heavily optioned examples. Focus on signs of prior bodywork, uneven tire wear, brake condition, and whether the features you want actually work as intended. Because this SUV can be configured very differently by trim, it is worth checking that the equipment level matches the listing description.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Durango offers four trim levels—SXT, GT, Citadel, and R/T—each with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The base SXT is the most stripped-down version, with a 5.0-inch screen and a 6-speaker audio system, while the GT adds an 8.4-inch screen, power front seats, and rear park assist. The Citadel brings more upscale touches such as ventilated Nappa leather seats, navigation, and an Alpine premium audio system, while the R/T is the performance-oriented choice with sport suspension and unique interior treatments.
• Powertrain: You can choose a 3.6-liter V6 or a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The V6 is capable and can tow up to 6,200 pounds, while the V8 delivers 360 horsepower and up to 7,400 pounds of towing.
• Safety package: Every Durango includes multiple airbags, electronic stability control, hill-start assist, rain brake support, ready alert braking, and trailer-sway control. Available driver-assistance features include adaptive cruise control with stop, advanced brake assist, blind-spot monitoring with cross-path detection, forward-collision warning with active braking, ParkSense rear park assist and rear backup camera, and LaneSense lane-departure warning.
• Infotainment: Uconnect comes with either a 5.0-inch or 8.4-inch touchscreen, a standard 6-speaker audio system, USB and auxiliary inputs, and Bluetooth streaming. There is no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto compatibility.
• Fuel efficiency: The V6 AWD is rated 18/25 mpg, and the Hemi V8 is rated 14/22 mpg. The V8’s thirst is a real consideration if you drive long distances or plan to tow often.

Which 2017 Dodge Durango trim should I buy?

The 2017 Dodge Durango is offered in 4 trim levels: SXT, GT, Citadel, and R/T.

Here's the short version:

• SXT: This is the least expensive way into the Durango, and it gives you the core SUV experience with the V6, three-zone climate control, rear-seat outlets, and Uconnect with a 5.0-inch screen. It is the trim to consider if you want the Durango’s size and capability without paying for extras you may not use.
• GT: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a more useful 8.4-inch screen, power front seats, rear backup camera, and ParkSense rear park assist. If you want a better daily-driver experience without jumping to luxury pricing, this is the trim to target.
• Citadel: This is the comfort-focused choice, with ventilated Nappa leather seats, navigation, an Alpine premium audio system, and available advanced driver-assistance features. It suits you best if you want the most upscale Durango without going all the way to the performance model.
• R/T: This is the performance version, with the Hemi V8, sport suspension, performance steering, HD brakes, and unique interior details. Choose it if you care most about stronger acceleration and a more athletic driving feel.

The safety package is strongest once you move beyond the base setup, since several driver-assistance features are optional rather than standard.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 Dodge Durango?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you are patient.

• Deal availability: 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 1,286 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.41% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 59.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $14,397, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2017 Dodge Durango's resale value?

The current average of $14,401 sits slightly below last year's $15,388.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy at a strong price and keep the vehicle in good condition, you can reduce the impact of that softer trend. Higher-trim, well-maintained examples with desirable equipment should hold appeal better than bare-bones or heavily worn listings.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.6/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2017 Dodge Durango safe?

The 2017 Dodge Durango earns four-star ratings in frontal crash and rollover, and five-star ratings in side crash testing from NHTSA.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

Every Durango includes multiple airbags, electronic stability control, hill-start assist, rain brake support, ready alert braking, and trailer-sway control. Available safety tech includes adaptive cruise control with stop, advanced brake assist, blind-spot monitoring with cross-path detection, forward-collision warning with active braking, ParkSense rear park assist and rear backup camera, and LaneSense lane-departure warning.

The main caveat is that the crash-test results are not especially strong for a family SUV, so you should pay close attention to the vehicle’s condition and available safety equipment when shopping used.

Should I buy a 2017 Dodge Durango or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2017 if:

• 32.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 59.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.41% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It balances family hauling with towing strength and a rugged, function-first character.

Consider the 2016 if:

• At $13,315, the 2016 costs less than the current year's $14,401 average.
• It adds a sportier R/T equipment push and more visual distinction.

Consider the 2018 if:

• At $17,495, the 2018 costs more than the current year's $14,401 average.
• It adds Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and a standard reversing camera.

The bottom line: The 2017 is the right pick if you want a strong mix of capability, features, and softer pricing. If your budget is tighter, the 2016 can save money, while the 2018 is the better choice if you want newer tech and can pay more.
