The V6 is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and is tuned to deliver smooth acceleration, confident merging power and good highway cruising refinement for a three-row SUV. Factory-rated fuel economy for this configuration is 18 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway. The vehicle described is in excellent overall condition.

Powertrain and driving dynamics
- Engine and transmission: The naturally aspirated 3.6L Pentastar V6 provides a broad torque curve at low and mid-range RPMs, enabling comfortable everyday driving as well as highway passing. The factory 8-speed automatic transmission helps optimize fuel economy and keeps the engine in an efficient operating range while providing crisp shifts in normal and sport-oriented driving modes.
- Drivetrain options: Rear-wheel drive is the standard factory configuration; all-wheel drive was available as a factory option for improved traction in adverse conditions. Electronic systems manage torque distribution and stability as required by the selected driveline.
- Ride and handling: The Durango GT was engineered with a suspension balance aimed at combining composed highway cruising with responsive steering for a vehicle of its size. Independent front suspension and a multi-link rear layout contribute to a controlled ride; anti-roll tuning reduces body lean while preserving ride comfort.

Exterior features
- Body and lighting: Factory-installed exterior features include projector-style headlights (with available automatic headlamp control depending on package), integrated fog lamps, and LED taillamp elements employed on many factory configurations. Exterior trim on the GT typically includes body-color mirrors and accents that present a cohesive appearance.
- Wheels and tires: The GT commonly rides on alloy wheels that offer a balance of style and durability; wheel size can vary by factory package (common GT configurations included larger alloy wheels than base models). All-season tires are fitted from the factory to suit a broad range of driving conditions.
- Convenience: Factory remote keyless entry is standard, along with power-operated side mirrors and power liftgate options depending on factory configuration. Roof rails are frequently included on factory Durango GTs to support crossbars and roof-mounted cargo accessories.

Interior comfort and seating
- Seating capacity and layout: The Durango GT is a three-row SUV with seating for up to seven passengers in a 2-3-2 configuration with a standard second-row bench. A second-row captain’s chair arrangement was available from the factory as an option for a six-passenger layout. Seating materials on the GT are higher-grade than base trim, with cloth or leather-faced seating surfaces depending on factory packages.
- Comfort features: The GT commonly includes power-adjustable driver and front passenger seats, heated front seats as a frequently specified option, and tri-zone automatic climate control on many factory configurations to allow separate temperature settings for front and rear occupants. Power windows, power door locks, and cruise control are part of the standard convenience suite.
- Storage and ergonomics: Storage cubbies, cupholders for all rows, and a center console with useful storage space are standard. Second- and third-row seats fold to increase cargo versatility, and factory cargo-area covers or nets may be fitted depending on equipment.

Technology and infotainment
- Uconnect infotainment: Factory Durango GTs were equipped with the Uconnect infotainment system. Screen size and specific features varied by factory option; common configurations include a user-friendly touchscreen with AM/FM/HD radio, Bluetooth hands-free calling and audio system
