2018 Dodge Durango fuel economy (EPA)
The EPA rates the 2018 Dodge Durango at 15–21 MPG combined; the 3.6L 6-cylinder (RWD) is the most efficient and the 6.4L 8-cylinder (AWD) 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).

| Durango SRT AWD | 6.4L 8-cylinder | 8-speed automatic · AWD | 13MPG | 19MPG | 15MPG | $5,150 | 584 |
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.

- Cold tire pressure
- 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 full-size spare or a tire service kit with no spare; the spare is stowed under the rear on a cable winch and has no pressure sensor.
- Lug nut torque
- 130 ft-lb (176 N·m), M14 x 1.50 thread, 22 mm socket
- 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 (2018 Dodge Durango Specifications, 2018 Dodge Durango SRT Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.
2018 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.

Recalls (5)
Newest first. A campaign covers certain vehicles of this model year, not necessarily every one. To see which apply to a specific vehicle, and whether the fix has been done, enter its VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or ask a dealer; repairs are free of charge.
Service brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip: control unit/moduleNovember 7, 2024 · Campaign 24V838000
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango vehicles. A malfunction in the antilock-brake system (ABS) module may incorrectly illuminate the brake lights and disable the ABS and electronic stability control (ESC). In addition, the vehicle operator may be able to start and shift out of Park without the brake pedal being applied.
Risk: A vehicle that can be started and shifted out of Park without applying the brake pedal can result in a vehicle rollaway. Disabled ABS and ESC systems can reduce vehicle handling and control in certain driving situations.
Fix: Dealers will replace the integrated pressure transducer and update the ABS module software, as necessary free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 16, 2025. Owners may contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is 94B.
Campaign 24V838000 on NHTSA.govService brakes, hydraulic: antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip: control unit/moduleJune 9, 2022 · Campaign 22V426000
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango vehicles. A malfunction in the antilock-brake system (ABS) module may illuminate the brake lights, and allow the vehicle to start and shift out of Park without the brake pedal being applied.
Risk: A vehicle that starts and shifts out of Park without applying the brake pedal can result in vehicle rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash without prior warning and/or injury to others outside of the vehicle.
Fix: This recall is replaced by NHTSA recall number 24V838. Vehicles already repaired under this recall will need to have the new remedy completed. The remedy includes updated HCU/ABS module software that prevents the HCU/ABS module from falsely reading pressure in the primary circuit.

Risk: If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403.

Great Lakes owner notes
The 2018 Dodge Durango against salt, snow and steep grades
From the Snowbelt east of Cleveland to the ridges of West Virginia and east Tennessee, this part of the country throws salt, snow and grade at every vehicle. Here is how the 2018 Dodge Durango specifications line up against all three.
Wheels, tires and freeze-thaw roads
The smallest 2018 factory size is P265/60R18, the largest P295/45R20. Each thaw in Michigan and Ohio opens new potholes, and a tall sidewall survives them best: the 18-inch fitment flexes over a sharp edge where a low-profile tire can pinch or bend its wheel. After a hard hit, look for a sidewall bubble.
Oil for a frozen-driveway start
Oil capacity is 6 qt (3.6L), 7 qt (5.7L) and 7 qt (6.4L), and the manual lists SAE 0W-20 (3.6L), SAE 5W-20 (5.7L) and SAE 0W-40 (6.4L). Where more than one engine appears in the lineup, the engine code on the window sticker settles which grade applies. The wrong one in a West Virginia winter gives up a little protection on every cold start, and over years of driveway starts that adds up.
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 2018 lineup includes rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and four-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.
Coolant through freeze and climb
Fluids table: OAT coolant (10-year/150,000-mile formula), 10.4 to 11 qt (3.6L), 15.4 to 16 qt (5.7L) and 16 qt (6.4L). Scheduled replacement comes at 10 years or 150,000 miles. Stick to that chemistry, since mixing coolant types can shorten their protective life. On a used Durango from West Virginia, ask whether the coolant was changed on time, and check the level in the overflow tank with the engine cold before you drive it.
Ground clearance, snowbelt to hills
The spec sheet puts ground clearance at 8 to 10.1 inches. Height matters for salt too: a low underbody pushes through slush and packs it around lines and heat shields, where it sits for days. After a slushy week in Huntington, a run through an underbody wash clears out what the clearance couldn't avoid.
Fuel reserve for storm closures
Fuel capacity: 24.6 gallons. Lake-effect whiteouts can shut stretches of I-94 in Michigan or I-90 through the Ohio Snowbelt for hours, so keep the tank from running low between November and March. If you do end up stranded, a running engine for heat needs a tailpipe clear of snow.
Specifications are the manufacturer's; the weather and road context is ours. When a note here and the 2018 owner's manual disagree, follow the manual.
