Used 2018 Dodge Durango GT | Heated Leather | 7 Passenger

2018 Dodge Durango GT AWD

The 2018 model year represents a highly refined sweet spot for the third-generation Dodge Durango, combining muscle-car structural heritage with standard, next-generation digital amenities. Utilizing a heavy-duty, unibody architecture with short- and long-arm independent front suspension and an isolated multi-link rear setup, the Durango rejects the bouncy, truck-like traits of older SUVs. It behaves like a highly planted, rear-wheel-drive-biased performance tourer. By layering the inner cabin walls with high-density acoustic barriers and fitting an acoustic-laminated front windshield glass panel, Dodge engineers a hushed passenger sanctuary. It isolates occupants from harsh city expansion joints, highway wind buffet, and deep provincial winter ruts with absolute composure.

In Canada’s pre-owned family utility market, ordering the GT trim with the legendary 3.6L Pentastar V6 and standard All-Wheel Drive (AWD) serves as the ultimate smart-money blueprint. Rather than swallowing the steep fuel overhead of the V8 engines, this Canadian-spec build delivers serious, everyday practical towing muscle and mechanical simplicity. Out of the box, the GT completely drops the basic, chrome-heavy look of entry-level fleet specs in favor of a monochromatic, aggressive street presence. Layered with the factory Quick Order Package, it targets vital cold-weather convenience arrays and uprated cabin amenities meticulously engineered to master harsh northern freeze cycles with total authority.

Key Feature Breakdowns

1. Monochromatic Muscle Identity & Performance Stance

The GT trim completely overhauls the standard family crossover shape, lifting the aggressive, blacked-out design cues directly from the high-tier R/T performance models:

• Hyper Black Rolling Stock: Rides on commanding 20-inch Hyper Black aluminum wheels wrapped in high-traction, low-rolling-resistance all-season performance tires that fill out the wheel wells beautifully.

• Monochromatic Fascias: Swaps out standard gray work-truck plastic and bright chrome plates for body-colour front and rear fascias, body-colour wheel lip moldings, body-colour door handles, and body-colour side sills.

• Signature LED Racetrack Tail Lamp: The rear end features Dodge’s instantly recognizable full-width LED racetrack taillight array containing 192 individual LED bulbs, paired with sporty dual bright exhaust tips that emit a subtle mechanical growl.

2. Time-Tested 3.6L Pentastar™ V6 & 8-Speed Powertrain

The mechanical core of the Durango GT avoids the fragile sensors, extreme heat cycles, and complex plumbing common to modern downsized multi-turbo blocks:

• Canada's Best-Selling V6 Engine: The naturally aspirated 3.6L Pentastar engine uses Variable Valve Timing (VVT) and dual exhausts to unlock 295 horsepower. This robust engine delivers instant acceleration and holds a best-in-class V6 towing capacity of 2,812 kg (6,200 lbs).

• TorqueFlite 8-Speed Automatic: Power flows through a highly reliable 8-speed automatic transmission operated via a clean driver-oriented electronic center shifter or steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, ensuring seamless, smooth gear selection.

• Intelligent Full-Time AWD: Engineered specifically for volatile Canadian elements, this continuous traction monitoring shield automatically routes power between axles to lock down stability on slick black ice, heavy spring slush, or loose gravel.

3. Quick Order Package — Tailored Canadian Winter Sanctuary

Explicitly engineered to turn freezing northern sub-zero transits into a highly efficient, comfortable routine, the Quick Order interior upgrades standard metrics with a specialized factory cold-weather grid:

• Heated Row-by-Row Comfort: Standardizes heated leather-faced bucket front seats with premium suede inserts alongside heated second-row 60/40 split fold-and-tumble seats to rapidly distribute core warmth to all occupants.

• Heated Touchpoint & Vision Arrays: Features a leather-wrapped heated steering wheel to keep hands comfortable without bulky gloves, conjoined with power-adjustable heated side-view mirrors that clear away morning frost instantly.

• Keyless Enter 'n Go & Remote Start: Outfitted with proximity keyless entry with Push-Button Ignition and a factory Remote Engine Start System, allowing you to thoroughly pre-warm the cabin from indoors.

• Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control: Fully automatic electronic climate management allows the driver, front passenger, and rear rows to maintain independent temperature parameters across shifting seasonal elements.

4. Expansion Tech Lounge & Vigilant Security Shield

Step past the heavy-duty structural door seals to experience an incredibly accommodating interior space designed to streamline everyday workflows and protect up to seven passengers:

• Next-Gen Uconnect Multimedia: Anchors the dashboard with a standard 7.0-inch color touchscreen infotainment display hub featuring integrated Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone projection. It includes a standard ParkView® Rear Back-Up Camera conjoined with a Park-Sense® Rear Park Assist system to safely catch hidden structural hazards.

• 12-Way Power Driver Adjustments: Features a 12-way power-adjustable driver's seat including 4-way power lumbar support and integrated memory settings for the seat, exterior mirrors, and radio stations.

• Massive Flat-Folding Cargo Box: Yields a practical 487-litre trunk hold behind the third row. Dropping the 50/50 split-folding third-row bench and the second-row seats flat opens up a staggering 2,393-litre loading floor to effortlessly accommodate hockey gear, travel chests, or heavy occupational tools.
