2017 Dodge Durango fuel economy (EPA)
The EPA rates the 2017 Dodge Durango at 17–21 MPG combined; the 3.6L 6-cylinder (RWD) is the most efficient and the 5.7L 8-cylinder (RWD) the thirstiest. Every EPA test configuration is below, from the government's fuel-economy database.
City, highway and combined figures are in MPG (MPGe on electricity).

Source: U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, fueleconomy.gov. MPG is miles per gallon (MPGe for electric operation). Plug-in hybrids list gasoline-only MPG with the electric rating underneath. Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.

- Not a single number: the owner's manual refers to the tire and loading placard (driver's side B-pillar or rear edge of the driver's door), which lists the pressures for your exact tire size and load.
- Spare
- Depending on equipment the manual describes a compact spare, a collapsible spare or a tire service kit with no spare; the placard shows which.

- Pressure monitor
- A tire pressure monitoring system warns when a tire is low.
Sizes and pressures vary by trim, wheel package and load: check the placard on your vehicle and the tire sidewall. Sizes from the manufacturer's specification sheet (2017 Dodge Durango Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.
2017 Dodge Durango maintenance schedule
The factory schedule for normal driving. Oil changes follow the oil-change indicator on most models; severe use (towing, dusty roads, lots of idling) shortens some intervals.
A dot means the service is due at that mileage.

Great Lakes owner notes
What counts on a 2017 Dodge Durango from Michigan to Tennessee
We read the 2017 Durango owner data, service schedule and spec sheets with Michigan driving in mind: frozen starts, salted highways, cratered streets and hills. These are the figures worth acting on.
Sidewall height versus broken pavement
Squalls off Lake Michigan and Lake Erie can drop snow faster than plows keep up, and then tire compound matters more than anything else on the vehicle. Starting from the factory P265/60R18 size, a true winter tire on 18-inch wheels grips packed snow far better than an all-season and leaves sidewall for the potholes the next thaw brings.
Oil for a frozen-driveway start
Factory oil: SAE 0W-20 (3.6L) and SAE 5W-20 (5.7L), 6 qt (3.6L) and 7 qt (5.7L) per change with a filter. A Grand Rapids or Toledo January can leave an engine at single digits overnight, and at start-up the oil has to reach the top of the engine fast. Short trips that never fully warm the engine let moisture collect in the oil; a longer drive clears it.
Cranking power for a lake-effect morning
Rated battery output: 650 to 700 cold-cranking amps, measured at 0°F. A single-digit night in Traverse City or Fort Wayne cuts what the battery can deliver just as the stiff engine asks more of the starter. Past three winters, an October load test tells you more than the date sticker. Charging comes from a 160- to 220-amp alternator.
Drive systems for lake-effect snow
The 2017 lineup includes rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. Power at both axles pays off when a band off Lake Erie buries the Snowbelt east of Cleveland, or on a steep, unplowed road out of a hollow in eastern Kentucky. It gets you moving; stopping on ice is still up to the tires.
Towing to the lake
Regular towing puts the 2017 Dodge Durango on the schedule's trailer rows: axle fluid service, first at 20,000 miles. A summer of hauling a boat to Lake Cumberland, Norris Lake or a Lake Michigan launch counts. The Great Lakes are fresh water, so a trailer's real corrosion threat here is winter road salt, not the ramp.
Antifreeze for both ends of the year
The system holds 10.4 to 11 qt (3.6L) and 15.4 to 16 qt (5.7L) of OAT coolant (10-year/150,000-mile formula). Stellantis manuals call for a 50/50 mix, good to about -34°F (-37°C), which is colder than a typical Great Lakes winter night; the real risk is dilution from top-ups with plain water. The same mix raises the boiling point for a loaded summer climb through the Tennessee mountains. A cheap tester checks the strength each fall.
Clearance for frozen ruts and hollow roads
Listed ground clearance: 8.1 to 10.1 inches. Two places in this region test it. One is a snowbelt side street after a squall, where frozen ruts form before the plow comes back. The other is a gravel road up an Appalachian hollow, where a high crown and washouts can catch a low underbody. Knowing the figure helps you choose a line instead of guessing.
Data behind these notes: owner's manual capacities, the Mopar service schedule and factory spec sheets. Regional advice is general, written for drivers from Michigan to Kentucky.
