How much can a Dodge Journey carry?
In cargo terms, a Dodge Journey typically offers 9.6 cubic feet of space with all seats in use, up to 67.6 cubic feet with the rear seats folded, and can carry roughly 1,000–1,500 pounds of payload depending on year and trim (approximately 270 L to 1,900 L of cargo space).
Cargo capacity by seating configuration
The figures below reflect typical cargo volumes for Journey models configured with three rows, two rows, or a single row of seating. Actual numbers can vary by year, trim, and equipment.
- Behind the third row (all seats up): about 9.6 cubic feet (roughly 270 liters).
- Behind the second row (third row folded): about 37.6 cubic feet (roughly 1,064 liters).
- Behind the first row (second and third rows folded): about 67.6 cubic feet (roughly 1,912 liters).
These figures illustrate how cargo space expands as you fold down seating. They reflect the typical maximums available on common Journey configurations, with small variations by year and trim.
Payload capacity
Payload capacity measures how much weight the vehicle can carry in addition to its own curb weight. This rating is separate from cargo volume and depends on engine choice, drivetrain, and equipment.
- Typical payload capacity: about 1,000–1,500 pounds (approximately 450–680 kg), depending on year, engine, transmission, and trim.
To stay within safety limits, avoid exceeding the published payload rating and distribute weight evenly between passengers and cargo. If you regularly haul heavy loads, verify the exact figures for your specific model year and option package.
Summary
The Dodge Journey offers flexible cargo and passenger options, with a practical range of cargo space from 9.6 cu ft to 67.6 cu ft depending on seating, and a workable payload window around 1,000–1,500 pounds. When planning trips or moves, use the three-tier cargo figure as a practical guide and confirm the exact specs for your model year and configuration.
