SRT models EPA lists separately are left out. MPG is EPA combined. "—" means EPA lists no version in that column, or (recalls) the year is outside our 2017–2025 NHTSA pull. Recall counts are campaigns for the model and year (all trims); a specific vehicle may not be affected.
Where the lineup changed
- 2026: adds 6.2L 8-cyl supercharged, 6.4L 8-cyl.
What to check on a used Durango
- Best EPA combined rating in the 4WD/AWD column: 21 MPG (2024, 3.6L 6-cyl). Winter mileage in northwest Wisconsin runs lower.
- Match the VIN to the right row. The engine is coded in the VIN and printed on the original window sticker; ask us to decode it.
- Recalls: per-year campaign detail is in our used Durango recalls by year guide. Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls on any used vehicle.
- CPOV or CPO Go? Five model years or newer with under 75,000 miles points to CPOV (with 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain coverage); 6–10 model years and/or 75,001–120,000 miles points to CPO Go. The certificate on the vehicle shows the tier.
Stellantis Certified Pre-Owned: which tier?
