2009-2020 Dodge Journey Towing Capacity Resource Guide With Charts!

2009-2020 Dodge Journey Towing Capacity Resource Guide With Charts!

The Dodge Journey is a nice little car or crossover SUV, whatever you want to call it, but I was actually surprised at their towing capacity and the fact that they had any whatsoever and to be honest was shocked to see some of the numbers that I saw when I was doing the research.

In this article, I look into how much they can actually pull and have included model years 2009 to 2020, so I can encompass all of the vehicles possible in one (easy-to-read) post. I hope this article helps somebody out there who may be wondering about their specific capacity specs for their Journey. Let's dive in! 

Overview of the Data For the Dodge Journeys:

Engine Choices: Over the years, from 2009 to 2020, the Dodge Journey had four different engines to choose from and the engine you had equipped affected the capacity numbers somewhat but not as much as some other factors like: the number of people that were in the vehicle and whether you had the trailer tow prep package installed. 

The engines I came across were: the 2.4 liter engine, the 3.5 liter engine, the 3.6 liter engine and the 2.7L engine. I wanted to break down the data even further and give weight rating ranges based on the four different engine options.

  • 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009 Journeys that used the 2.4L engine had a towing capacity of up to 1,000 lbs.
  • 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011 Journeys that used the 3.6L engine had a towing capacity of 1,500-2,500 lbs.
  • 2010 and 2009 Journeys that had the 3.5L engine had a towing capacity of 2,500-3,500 lbs. (with trailer package) and 1,000-2,000 lbs. (w/o package)
  • 2009 Journeys that had the 2.7L engine had a towing capacity of 1,000-3,000 lbs. (with trailer package) and 1,000-2,000 lbs. (w/o package)

The Trim Levels: Looking at the different trim levels proved to be quite challenging, as there were some trim levels that only appeared for a handful of years, while others were prominent for most of the life of the vehicle.

The trim level did not have a direct effect on the trailer weight ratings, but they did have limited engine options available to them, in some cases which indirectly affected the numbers

I broke down the different trim levels that were available and listed their respective towing capacity based on Dodge's specs:

  • 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015 SE (2.4l) : 1,000 lbs.
  • 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015 SE (3.6l) : 1,500-2,500 lbs.
  • 2014, 2013, 2012, 2010 and 2009 SE (2.4l) : 1,000 lbs.
  • 2020 Crossroad (2.4l) : 1,000 lbs.
  • 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015 Crossroad (3.6l) : 1,500-2,500 lbs.
  • 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, and 2013 SXT (2.4l) : 1,000 lbs.
  • 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012 SXT (3.6l) : 1,500-2,500 lbs.
  • 2010 and 2009 SXT (3.5l) : 1,000-3,500 lbs.
  • 2019, 2018 and 2017 GT (3.6l) : 1,500-2,500 lbs.
  • 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012 RT (3.6l) : 1,500-2,500 lbs.
  • 2010 and 2009 RT (3.5l) : 1,000-3,500 lbs.
  • 2015 and 2014 Limited (3.6l) : 1,500-2,500 lbs.
  • 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012 AVP (2.4l) : 1,000 lbs.
  • 2015 AVP (3.6l) : 1,500-2,500 lbs.
  • 2011 Express (2.4l) : 1,000 lbs.
  • 2011 Mainstreet, Crew and Lux (3.6l) : 1,500-2,500 lbs.

The Number Of People In The Vehicle: Another major factor that affected the ratings for these CUVs was how many passengers you were carrying in the vehicle. This seemed to affect the capacity quite a bit.

In fact, I noticed that 1,000 pounds (or more in some cases) was the “average”  difference between having one to two people in the car and six or seven people in the car. 

Overall Tow Capacity: When you look at the models that were made from 2009 to 2020 you'll see that the overall capacity didn't really range all that much and stayed pretty consistent over the years.

The 2020-2009 Dodge Journey had a towing capacity range of 1,000-3,500 lbs., depending on the model year, the engine equipped, how many people you had riding in the vehicle with you and whether you had the trailer tow prep package installed on the vehicle. 

Remember to always read through the owner's manuals completely before you tow anything, as there might be additional information that I did not post in this article that may be helpful to you.

In this post you might see one tow chart for many different model years and this is because the chart is exactly the same or very similar (with minor discrepancies) but the information was close enough to only post that one chart that will apply to all model years listed.

2020 Models:

The 2020 Journey had a towing capacity of up to 1,000 pounds, but it included five people in the vehicle and any luggage and cargo they had, which was a predetermined weight for each person, I assume. 

Usually the assumed weight of each passenger is around 150 pounds, so if that was the case in this example, then 5 people in the vehicle would equate to 750 pounds of total weight, plus the weight of additional luggage for each passenger, whic is usually around 20-30 pounds per person.

I don't think you can get more capacity out of the vehicle by having fewer than five people either and I would assume that the rating would still be the same if only 1 or 2 people were in the vehicle.

2011-2019 Models:

Dodge Journeys made from 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 had a towing capacity of 1,000-2,500 pounds, depending on which engine you had equipped and how many people were in the vehicle. 

If you look at the chart below you can see that the 2.4L engine had the lowest rating in the chart of 1,000 lbs., which includes up to five passengers in the vehicle with additional cargo weight included in that capacity.

The 3.6L engine had a tow capacity that ranged from 1,500 lbs. and went all the way up to 2,500 lbs. and the number of people in the vehicle was the determining factor in the weight range numbers. 

2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011 Dodge Journey Towing Chart

2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011 Charts

2010 Models:

The 2010 models had their own unique table, mainly due to the fact that they had two different engine configurations: the 2.4L engine and the 3.5L engine.

The towing capacity for the 2010 Journey ranged from 1,000-3,500 lbs., depending on the engine equipped and if you had the 3.5L engine, whether you had a trailer tow prep package installed. 

As you can see from the 2010 tow chart below, the 2.4L engine had the lowest capacity rating, coming in right at 1,000 pounds and the 3.5L engine (without the trailer tow prep package) had a range of 1,000 pounds to 2,000 pounds.

If you had the 3.5L engine with the trailer tow prep package installed then the weight limits were much higher, ranging from 2,500 pounds, going all the way up to 3,500 pounds, which is nearly double the overall capacity.

2010 Dodge Journey Towing Chart 2

2009 Models:

The 2009 models had three different engine configurations to choose from: the 2.4 liter engine, the 2.7 liter engine and the 3.5 liter engine, which made the table a little bit harder to understand than the other model years we looked at already. 

The towing capacity for the 2009 Dodge Journey's ranged from 1,000 lbs. - 3,500 lbs., depending on the engine you had equipped, how many people were in the vehicle and whether or not your vehicle had a trailer tow prep package installed.

If you look at the chart below you'll notice that without the trailer tow prep package installed AND no matter which engine you had equipped, the trailer weight ratings is significantly decreased, ranging from 1,000 lbs. and only going up to 2,000 pounds. 

In contrast, if you compare those specs with the specs of the 2.7L engine and 3.5L engine with a trailer tow prep package equipped then you can see the range is a lot higher, starting at 1,000 lbs. and going all the way up to 3,500 lbs., dependent upon how many people you had in the vehicle.

What You Need to Know About Your Vehicle

Like I stated earlier, you didn't need to know a whole lot about your vehicle in order to get your maximum trailer weight rating. In fact, you just needed to know the model year of your vehicle, the engine you had equipped, how many people were riding in the vehicle, more specifically their weight and if you had the trailer package installed.

The model year should be pretty easy to find, so the other three variables are what most people are going to need to focus on and figure out. On a side note, if you do not know the model year of your vehicle, you could always use the VIN and get it that way. I will explain this in more detail in the following sections.

What Engine Do I Have?

The engine that you had equipped in your vehicle from the factory was definitely the most important detail about your vehicle when it came to getting an accurate trailer weight rating, as I have probably overstated in this article way too much already!

I would bet that most people can pop the hood of their vehicle, look inside the engine Bay and identify what engine they are looking at, but there are some people out there that probably are not confident in doing this. There is another way to identify the engine of your vehicle and that would be to plug in the VIN of your vehicle into an online VIN decoder and that should tell you what engine you have equipped.

These decoders will also tell you a whole bunch of other helpful information about your vehicle and will even help you figure out what model year it is, if you need that information as well.

The Weight of You and Your Occupants

If we look at some of the charts, we can see that dodge specifies a specific number of people in the vehicle and the maximum trailer weight ratings will change according to how many people are in the vehicle.

In some cases, this can be one to two people, three to four people, five to six people or seven people and then they specify specific ratings depending on the number of occupants in the vehicle. One thing I wanted to point out is that it's not really the number of occupants, it is how much each of your occupants weigh. 

You can't have five people that weigh over 300 pounds in the vehicle because it would be too much weight than what the assumed amount of weight was. I think dodge could have done a much better job with this metric and it is basically just something I know because of all the research I do when it comes to vehicles, their weights and other information that most people overlook.

I was not able to find a definitive answer on what the assumed weight of each passenger is but from my experience, most other manufacturers use a 150 pound rating for each person in the vehicle and I assume it would be very close to what dodge assumes as well.

Do I Have A Trailer Tow Prep Package Installed?

When researching the trailer tow prep package for these CUVs, I wasn't able to come across any definitive articles or documents on Dodge's website. At this point, if you're curious whether your Journey has a tow package installed, then I would recommend taking it to a dealership to see if they can check for you, as there are no indicators I found that would allow you to check yourself.

If this changes in the future, I will be sure to update this article to make everything as easy as possible.

Resources I Used For This Article:

I gathered all of my information from the owner's manuals that I found on the Dodge website and I posted the links for the specific model years below just in case anybody wants to do a little bit more in-depth research into their specific model or read up on some of the other very helpful tow related information that is included in the owner's manuals.

Dodge Journey Towing Capacity (2009 to 2020)

The Dodge Journey was introduced into Dodge’s lineup as a mid-size crossover SUV in 2009 and was made through 2020. Dodge vehicles are known for their reliability and for having the features consumers expect from today’s SUVs, including towing. But what is the towing capacity of a Dodge Journey?

The Dodge Journey has a towing capacity of 1,000 lbs to 3,500 lbs depending on the model year, engine, and whether or not the Trailer Tow Prep package was installed.

Dodge Journey Braked Vs. Unbraked Towing Capacity

All vehicles have different towing capacities based on whether or not you’re towing a trailer that has trailer brakes installed.

Trailer brakes allow the trailer to stop faster than if only the vehicle is using its brakes, allowing the vehicle to tow more weight, so braked towing capacity will always be higher than unbraked towing capacity.

Dodge Journey Unbraked Towing Capacity: 1,000 lbs.

Dodge Journey Towing Capacity Factors

There are a few factors that affect the Dodge Journey tow capacity.

For some years of the Journey, you could tow up to 1,000 more pounds just by having a 3.6L engine instead of a 2.4L engine.

Towing Package

For earlier years of the Dodge Journey, you could only reach the max tow rating of 3,500 pounds by having the Trailer Tow Prep package installed.

Dodge Journey Engine Specs

There is one engine option for the most recent generation Dodge Journey.

Can You Install A Trailer Hitch On a Dodge Journey?

rear view of dodge journey

If you plan on towing anything with your Dodge Journey, you’ll need a tow hitch and wiring harness.

Depending on what you’re towing, you’re going to need a ball mount (aka a trailer ball hitch) so you can attach items for towing.

Make sure to get the right trailer ball size that matches your hitch and trailer.

Dodge Journey Tow Hitch

Trailer hitches come in different hitch classes , which are rated for different vehicle sizes and weight limits.

The Dodge Journey uses a Class 2 hitch.

Here’s a great option for a Class II Dodge Journey trailer hitch :

CURT 13201 Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2-Inch Receiver, Fits Select Dodge Journey , Black

  • DEPENDABLE STRENGTH. This trailer hitch is rated for 4,000 lbs. gross trailer weight, 400 lbs. tongue weight, 4,000 lbs. weight distribution capacity and 400 lbs. weight distribution tongue weight (limited to lowest-rated towing component)
  • VERSATILE DESIGN. This class 3 hitch equips your vehicle with a standard 2-inch x 2-inch hitch receiver, allowing for a wide variety of towing options. It can accept a ball mount, cargo carrier, bike rack, tow hook and much more

  • EASY TO INSTALL. This hitch offers a custom, factory fit on select model years of the Dodge Journey

Here’s a great ball mount option so you can hook up different types of trailers for towing with your Journey:

CURT 45148 Trailer Hitch Mount, 2-Inch Ball, Pin, Fits 1-1/4-In Receiver, 3,500 lbs, 3-1/4' Drop, GLOSS BLACK POWDER COAT

  • READY TO TOW. Hitching up your trailer is easy with this ready-to-use trailer hitch ball mount. It comes with a pre-attached tow ball for ready coupling and a trailer hitch pin to securely mount onto your hitch receiver
  • CORROSION-RESISTANT. For long-lasting use, this ball hitch is protected with a durable black powder coat finish, and the trailer ball has a polished chrome plating. These finishes resist damage from rain, dirt, road salt and other corrosive threats
  • EASY TO INSTALL. To install the trailer hitch ball mount on your vehicle, simply insert the shank into your vehicle's 1-1/4-inch hitch receiver. The rounded shank makes installation easy

Dodge Journey Trailer Hitch Installation

If you’re considering having a tow hitch added to your Journey, expect to pay between $100 and $200 to have a tow package professionally installed (excluding the cost of the tow hitch and wiring harness).

If you’re handy and looking to save money, you can install the trailer hitch and wiring harness yourself.

Always follow the manufacturer’s directions and use proper safety precautions.

Here’s a great video walkthrough on a Dodge Journey trailer hitch installation:

Hitch Receiver Vs Rear Step Bumper Towing

Some vehicles allow for bumper towing, which means you can mount a tow hitch ball directly on the bumper instead of installing a tow hitch to the vehicle’s frame.

Can I Bumper Tow With a Dodge Journey?

The Dodge Journey does not allow for bumper towing, so you’ll need to use a frame mounted hitch.

How Do I Know If My Dodge Journey Has A Tow Package?

dodge journey towing an atv trailer

You can start by looking under the rear bumper of your Journey to see if you notice a trailer hitch or trailer ball.

That will give you a good indication of if you have a tow hitch already installed on your Journey.

Another way to research this is by checking the paperwork that came with your vehicle or taking it to a local dealer to see what’s installed.

Make sure to have your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) handy if you call the dealer so they can look up the exact specs and whether or not your vehicle has any towing packages or features installed on it.

The average tow capacity of all vehicles in our database is 4,880 pounds. The table below shows the Dodge Journey towing capacity range for each Dodge Journey year, and compares it to the average towing capacity of all vehicles in our database.

How to Check the Tow Capacity of Your Dodge Journey

So you're looking to tow something with your Dodge Journey and wanna make sure it's up to the task? Well, there are a few different things to consider when it comes to figuring out a vehicle's tow capacity.

First things first, you'll want to check out the owner's manual for your ride. It'll probably have a section that tells you the manufacturer's recommended maximum towing weight for the Dodge Journey. It's always a good idea to follow their guidelines, since they've done all the testing and whatnot.

Another place to look is a manufacturer's towing guide. These are usually available on the manufacturer's website or at a dealership, and they'll have more in-depth info on the towing capacity of different Dodge models.

Size matters when it comes to towing, so it's worth taking a look at your Journey's engine size and transmission type. A bigger engine and a heavy-duty transmission will usually be able to handle a heavier load. And don't forget about the weight of the load itself – the combined weight of your Journey and the stuff you're hauling shouldn't exceed its maximum tow capacity.

It's also a good idea to check out the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of your Journey. This is the maximum weight that it's designed to carry, including the weight of the vehicle itself, any passengers, and any cargo. You can find the GVWR in the owner's manual or on a label on the inside of the driver's side door.

One more thing to consider is the tongue weight – that's the weight that's applied to the hitch when you're towing a trailer. Make sure the tongue weight is within the recommended range for your Journey to ensure proper weight distribution and stability. You can calculate the tongue weight by weighing the trailer with the load on it at a weigh station or with a special tongue weight scale.

Last but not least, take a look at the hitch rating on your Journey. This is the maximum weight that the hitch is designed to handle. Make sure the hitch rating is equal to or higher than the combined weight of the trailer and the load.

So there you have it – those are the main things to consider when it comes to determining the tow capacity of your Dodge Journey. Better to be safe than sorry, so if you're in doubt, it's probably a good idea to go with a vehicle that has a higher tow capacity than you think you'll need. That way you'll have a little extra wiggle room in case you end up hauling more weight than you expected.

All of this data is available on this site, so you can always check back to see if we've added more info on the Dodge Journey you're interested in.

Important: we provide the data for education purposes only, and we're not responsible for any towing accidents that may occur. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and use common sense when towing.

2018 Dodge Journey: Towing Capacity

The 2018 Dodge Journey is a midsize SUV that offers ample space for passengers and cargo. This versatile vehicle is available in four different trim levels: SE, SXT, Crossroad, and GT.

Under the hood, the 2018 Dodge Journey comes with a standard 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 173 horsepower and 166 lb-ft of torque. Drivers can also upgrade to a 3.6-liter V6 engine that produces 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive available as an option.

The Dodge Journey offers a maximum towing capacity of 1,000 pounds with the standard four-cylinder engine, while the V6 engine can tow up to 2,500 pounds. In terms of fuel economy, the four-cylinder engine gets an EPA-estimated 21 mpg combined (19 city/25 highway) with front-wheel drive, while the V6 engine gets an EPA-estimated 19 mpg combined (17 city/25 highway) with front-wheel drive and 19 mpg combined (16 city/24 highway) with all-wheel drive.

2018 Dodge Journey Trim Levels

Before we dive into towing capacity, let’s quickly review the four different trim levels available for the 2018 Dodge Journey:

Each trim level offers its own unique features and upgrades, from upgraded upholstery to a larger touchscreen display. But when it comes to towing capacity, the differences lie in the available engine options.

2018 Dodge Journey Towing Capacity

How much can a Dodge Journey 2018 tow?

The 2018 Dodge Journey comes standard with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that delivers 173 horsepower and 166 lb-ft of torque. However, drivers can upgrade to a 3.6-liter V6 engine that pumps out 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque.

So, how does the engine choice impact the towing capacity of your 2018 Dodge Journey? Let’s take a look at the numbers.

As you can see, opting for the V6 engine can double your towing capacity compared to the standard four-cylinder engine. If you’re planning to tow a boat, trailer, or other heavy load, it’s worth considering the upgrade.

Factors That Affect Towing Capacity

Keep in mind that towing capacity is affected by a number of factors beyond just the engine and trim level of your 2018 Dodge Journey. Here are a few other factors to consider:

  • Payload capacity: Your vehicle’s payload capacity is the weight of passengers, cargo, and tongue weight combined. Be sure to subtract the weight of all these items from your towing capacity to ensure you’re not exceeding the limit.
  • Trailer weight: The weight of the trailer itself can also impact your towing capacity. Be sure to weigh your trailer to ensure you’re staying within the recommended weight limit.
  • Terrain: If you’re towing up a steep hill or through rough terrain, your towing capacity may be reduced.
  • Weather: Adverse weather conditions like heavy rain or wind can also impact your towing capacity.

Tips for Safe Towing with Your 2018 Dodge Journey

Now that you know the towing capacity for different trim levels and engines of the 2018 Dodge Journey, let’s go over a few tips to help you tow safely:

  • Use a weight distribution hitch: A weight distribution hitch helps distribute the weight of your trailer evenly across your vehicle’s frame, which can help improve handling and stability.
  • Use the right equipment: Be sure to use the right hitch, ball mount, and trailer ball for your trailer and vehicle. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully to ensure a proper fit and safe towing experience.
  • Check your brakes: Make sure your brakes are in good working order and can handle the additional weight of your trailer. You may need to upgrade to larger brakes or use a trailer brake controller.
  • Watch your speed: When towing, it’s important to drive at a safe speed that allows you to maintain control of your vehicle and trailer. Be aware of your surroundings and adjust your speed accordingly.
  • Practice, practice, practice: If you’re new to towing, take some time to practice in an empty parking lot or on a quiet street before hitting the open road. Get a feel for how your vehicle handles with the added weight and learn how to make turns and back up safely.

By following these tips, you can ensure a safe and enjoyable towing experience with your 2018 Dodge Journey.

Dodge Journey vs midsize SUV

When it comes to towing capacity, the 2018 Dodge Journey holds its own against its competitors in the midsize SUV segment. Let’s take a look at how the Journey stacks up against a few of its rivals:

  • Ford Edge: The 2018 Ford Edge offers a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds with the available 3.5-liter V6 engine. This gives the Edge a slight edge over the Journey, but keep in mind that the Edge also comes with a higher starting price.
  • Chevrolet Equinox: The 2018 Chevy Equinox has a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds with the available 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Again, this gives the Equinox a higher towing capacity than the Journey, but it also comes with a higher starting price.
  • Kia Sorento: The 2018 Kia Sorento offers a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds with the available 3.3-liter V6 engine. This puts the Sorento well ahead of the Journey in terms of towing capacity, but it also comes with a significantly higher starting price.

Wrapping Up

The 2018 Dodge Journey offers a variety of engine and trim options to suit your towing needs. Whether you opt for the standard four-cylinder engine or the more powerful V6, be sure to follow recommended weight limits and safety guidelines to tow with confidence. With a little preparation and practice, you can unlock the full towing potential of your Dodge Journey and enjoy all the adventures that come with it.

2020 Dodge Journey Overview

Is the 2020 dodge journey a good used suv.

The 2020 Journey is not a very good used SUV. Its cabin is full of cheap plastics, the third row is incredibly cramped, and cargo space is subpar for a midsize SUV . On top of that, this Dodge lacks the tech – including Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and a host of safety features – you can find in most rivals.

There are plenty of better vehicles to consider. The 2020 Kia Sorento has a nicer cabin, more tech and safety features (including Android Auto and Apple CarPlay), and better fuel economy. Despite being a compact SUV , the 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan has more cargo room than the Journey, and it can be had with all-wheel drive.

What Does Dodge's Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Cover?

Dodge offers a certified pre-owned program for vehicles six years old or less and with fewer than 65,000 miles. Eligibility is determined by the vehicle’s initial sale date. For its certified pre-owned vehicles, Dodge offers a five-year/100,000-mile maximum care limited warranty. Additional benefits are available, including a 90-day satellite radio trial subscription, a Carfax vehicle history report, 24-hour towing and roadside assistance and a car rental allowance. There are mileage and model restrictions too. 

Dodge has one of the weaker CPO warranties among affordable carmakers, according to our analysis. Rivals such as Kia, Hyundai, Chevy, Ford and Honda are all better.

2020 Dodge Journey Versus the Competition

2020 Dodge Journey vs. 2020 Honda CR-V

The Honda offers more tech and safety features than the Dodge, and it provides a more stable ride. The CR-V is the better vehicle.

2020 Journey Performance

How does the 2020 dodge journey drive.

The only available engine for the Journey is an underpowered four-cylinder that struggles to bring the vehicle up to speed. Additionally, the automatic transmission hesitates to downshift.

The Journey provides a mostly gentle ride, but the SUV feels unwieldy around turns and suffers from a lot of body lean. Furthermore, the steering is imprecise and requires frequent corrections. All-wheel drive is not available.

  • Engine: 2.4-liter four-cylinder with 172 horsepower and 165 pound-feet of torque
  • Drivetrain: front-wheel drive
  • Transmission: four-speed automatic

2020 Dodge Journey Gas Mileage

This Dodge earns an EPA-estimated 19 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. Those are typical fuel economy estimates for the midsize SUV class , which includes V6-powered rivals. For an SUV with a four-cylinder engine, however, this vehicle disappoints.

2020 Dodge Journey Towing Capacity

The Journey can tow up to 1,000 pounds when properly equipped. That’s poor for the class. There are even some compact SUVs that can tow more than that.

2020 Journey Interior

2020 journey interior quality.

Most class rivals have nicer interiors than the Journey's. Cheap and flimsy plastics make up the bulk of this vehicle’s cabin.

How Many People Does the 2020 Journey Seat?

The 2020 Journey seats seven people in three rows. The first two rows have enough head- and legroom to accommodate most adults, but the third row is tight, even for kids. Some reviewers also find that the rearmost seats are stiff.

Standard seating features:

  • Cloth upholstery

Available seating features:

  • Leather upholstery
  • Six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat
  • Heated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel

How Many Child Car Seats Fit in the 2020 Dodge Journey?

This Dodge has two complete sets of LATCH connectors for the second-row outboard seats. The second-row middle seat has a lower anchor and a tether, plus the ability to borrow a lower anchor from the passenger-side seat. There are no tethers for the third row.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave this LATCH system the second-lowest rating of Marginal for its ease of use.

Edmunds' Expert Review

Dan Frio

  • Extra versatility provided by a standard three-row seat
  • Low price for the segment
  • Lacks many modern safety and convenience features, even in top trims
  • Below-average fuel economy
  • Disappointing and outdated base engine and transmission
  • Handling and drivability lag behind competitors

What's new

  • The SXT trim level has been dropped leaving the SE, Crossroad and GT
  • The SE gets additional standard content; new front and rear bodywork are now available with the V6 engine
  • Part of the first Journey generation introduced in 2009

Time has not been kind to the 2019 Dodge Journey. Despite previous refreshes or redesigns to keep pace with changing tides and tastes, it's pretty much the same as when the Journey debuted a decade ago. Dodge designers might have nailed the Journey's purpose from the start, but they've since let others catch up and surpass it in many areas.

Cost to Drive Cost to drive estimates for the 2019 Dodge Journey SE Value Package 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 4A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.42 per gallon for regular unleaded in North Dakota.

Dodge has made some minor tweaks to this year's Journey. There's one fewer trim level, allowing some of the discontinued trim's features to migrate to the base trim. There is, however, the new and exceptionally cool Destroyer Gray paint scheme. The Journey should only come in this color. It might give the car some much-needed attitude.

But it will take more than attitude to bring the Journey back into serious consideration among its newer and more refined Kia and Volkswagen competitors. Even when fully optioned, it lacks most of the safety features today's buyers might expect. Its base four-cylinder engine is truly underwhelming and is paired to an equally uninspired four-speed automatic transmission, a combination that yields subpar fuel economy. There's a stronger, optional V6, but even it can't keep up with other three-row SUVs.

The 2019 Journey will get you where you're going, and it will do so for less money than many competitors. But overall you'll probably be happier with vehicles such as the GMC Acadia, Kia Sorento or Volkswagen Tiguan.

Edmunds' Expert Rating

Acceleration, drivability, seat comfort, ride comfort, noise & vibration, climate control, ease of use, getting in/getting out, driving position, small-item storage, cargo space, child safety seat accommodation, audio & navigation, smartphone integration, driver aids, voice control, which journey does edmunds recommend, 2019 dodge journey models.

All trims come standard with front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive as an option. Front-wheel-drive SE and Crossroad trims come standard with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder (173 horsepower, 166 pound-feet of torque) paired with a four-speed automatic. Opting for all-wheel drive gets you a 3.6-liter V6 (283 hp, 260 lb-ft of torque) and a six-speed automatic transmission.

Standard feature highlights for the Journey SE include 17-inch steel wheels, automatic headlights, foglights, roof rails, heated side mirrors, a height-adjustable driver's seat, 60/40-split second-row seats and 50/50-split third-row seats (both rows slide and recline). Also included are keyless ignition and entry, a rearview camera, and a six-speaker sound system with a 4.3-inch touchscreen interface and auxiliary audio input.

The SE can be upgraded with the optional Connectivity package (Bluetooth, satellite radio, a USB port, voice commands and a leather-wrapped steering wheel), the Comfort/Convenience package (upgraded cloth upholstery and a power-adjustable driver's seat), the Blacktop package (17-inch alloy wheels and blacked-out exterior trim), and the Premium Group (combines the Connectivity and Comfort/Convenience packages). Remote start and an alarm are also available.

Moving up to the Crossroad gets you the features of the Premium Group plus 19-inch wheels, a touring-tuned suspension, leather upholstery, three-zone climate control with rear-seat vents, and an upgraded 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

Options available for the Crossroad include remote start, heated front seats, a rear-seat entertainment system, a premium six-speaker stereo system with subwoofer, navigation, a sunroof, and the Driver Convenience package, which brings rear parking sensors and a universal garage door opener.

The range-topping GT trim combines most of the Crossroad's options listed above with unique 19-inch wheels and an upgraded suspension.
