How big is the tank on a Dodge Durango?
Most Dodge Durangos have a 24.6-gallon (93-liter) fuel tank. The exact capacity is very close across the modern Durango lineup, though you should check your vehicle’s door sticker or owner’s manual for your specific trim and year.
Tank size across the modern Durango lineup
Durango capacity has remained essentially consistent through the current generation (2011–present). The standard figure you’ll see cited in official specs is 24.6 gallons, with little to no variation between common trims or drivetrain configurations.
- 24.6 gallons (93 liters) is the typical capacity listed for most 2011–present Durangos.
- Drivetrain (2WD vs. 4WD) generally does not change the official tank size in standard configurations.
- Actual usable fuel is slightly less than the nominal capacity due to reserve and manufacturing tolerances.
In short, for the vast majority of Dodge Durango models you’ll encounter, the tank size is effectively 24.6 gallons. Always verify the exact figure for your specific vehicle if precise numbers matter for you.
Estimating range and fuel economy
The tank size sets the ceiling for how far you can go between fill-ups, but range depends on engine and driving conditions. Here are rough guidelines to illustrate the impact of different powertrains.
Practical range expectations
With a 24.6-gallon tank:
- Durangos powered by the 3.6L V6 typically achieve about 21–23 miles per gallon combined, yielding roughly 520–570 miles per tank, depending on conditions and drivetrain.
- Durangos with the 5.7L Hemi V8 generally average around 17–19 miles per gallon combined, for an approximate range of 420–470 miles per tank.
These figures are approximate and can vary with transmission choice, tire size, payload, and driving style. Always consider your own driving habits and the latest EPA estimates for precise planning.
How to confirm the exact capacity for your Durango
If you need to confirm your specific Durango’s tank size, use these quick checks:
- Check the window sticker (Monroney label) on a new vehicle for official specifications.
- Refer to the owner's manual under the specifications section.
- Look at the driver-side door jamb placard for the vehicle’s approved fuel capacity.
For most buyers and owners, the standard capacity of 24.6 gallons will apply, with the exact figure verified by the manufacturer documentation for the particular year and trim.
Summary
The Dodge Durango's fuel tank is typically 24.6 gallons (93 liters) across the modern lineup. Range between fill-ups varies by engine and driving conditions, with roughly 520–570 miles possible for the V6 and about 420–470 miles for the V8 on a full tank. Always verify the exact capacity on your vehicle’s door sticker or in the owner's manual for your specific model year and trim.
