The Dodge Journey’s gas tank is about 20 gallons (approximately 75–76 liters) in most model years. Exact capacity varies slightly by engine and trim, so for precise figures check the fuel door label or the owner's manual.


Across model years, Dodge offered the Journey with two main engine options: a 2.4-liter inline-four and a 3.6-liter V6. While the overall capacity sits in roughly the same range for both engines, small differences can occur by year and market. The following list outlines typical capacities you’re likely to encounter.


Tank size by engine and year


Below are typical capacities reported for common Journeys. Use these as a general guide; the exact figure for your vehicle is printed on the fuel door sticker or in the owner's manual.
