2022 Dodge Durango fuel economy (EPA)

The EPA rates the 2022 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).

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
Compact spare, full-size spare or tire service kit, by equipment; the spare is stowed under the rear on a cable winch.
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 (2022 Dodge Durango / Durango SRT Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

2022 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 or after that many years, whichever comes first.

Additional Inspections

  • Inspect the CV/Universal joints
  • Inspect front suspension, tie rod ends, and replace if necessary
  • Inspect the brake linings, parking brake function

Additional Maintenance

  • Replace the cabin air filter

Inspect the brake linings, parking brake function
Inspect transfer case fluid
Additional Maintenance
Replace engine air cleaner filter
Replace the cabin air filter
Replace spark plugsThe spark plug change interval is mileage based only, yearly intervals do not apply.
Flush and replace the engine coolant at 10 years or 150,000 miles (240,000 km) whichever comes first
Replace accessory drive belt
Inspect accessory drive belt tensioner and pulley, replace if necessary
Change transfer case fluid – Normal Usage
Change transfer case fluid – Sever Usage (police, taxi, fleet, off-road or frequent trailer towing)
Replace PCV valve

At every oil change

  • Change oil and filter
  • Rotate the tires at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before the oil indicator system turns on
  • Inspect battery and clean and tighten terminals as required
  • Inspect the CV/Universal joints
  • Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, hoses and parking brake
  • Inspect engine cooling system protection and hoses
  • Inspect exhaust system
  • Inspect engine air cleaner filter if using in dusty or off-road conditions. Replace engine air cleaner filter, if necessary

2022 Dodge Durango owner's manuals & publications

The manufacturer's owner's manual, quick guides, radio manuals, supplements and warranty booklets for the 2022 model year.

Read for lake-effect country

Reading the 2022 Durango data for Great Lakes roads

None of the factory data on this page changes from one region to the next, but what deserves a second look does. Below are the 2022 Dodge Durango lines that matter for an Evansville winter, a spring of broken pavement, a boat on the hitch or a long descent in the hills.

Tire choices for squall and thaw

Big wheels look good, but after a March commute on Detroit or Cleveland streets they are the ones that come home bent. This year's sizes run from P265/60R18 on 18-inch wheels to P295/45R20 on 20-inch wheels; the smaller fitment carries a taller sidewall that absorbs pothole strikes and usually costs less to replace.

What the manual says about oil

Factory oil: SAE 0W-20, 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. The 0W part of the grade is its cold-flow rating, so keep it rather than going thicker for winter. 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.

Traction for snowbelt hills and hollows

This model year offers rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. In Indiana, the payoff comes in the first hour of a storm, before plows reach side streets, and on boat ramps slick with algae where a two-wheel-drive tow vehicle can spin. Keep the system's limits in mind on ice: driven wheels add grip for going, not for stopping or turning.

Pressure, potholes and the thermometer

Whatever size the Durango wears, from the factory P265/60R18 on up, correct inflation is the cheapest pothole defense there is: a soft tire lets the wheel slam into the far edge of the hole. Check pressures when the tires are cold, since a reading taken after a highway run will look high.

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.

Tank size for hill country

The 2022 Dodge Durango holds 24.6 gallons of fuel. Once you leave the interstate in West Virginia or eastern Kentucky, mountain routes can run a long way between stations, and the climbs burn more fuel than flat miles do. Fill up before heading into the hills.
