📖Dodge Durango III Facelift 2014-2020: eight-speed refinement and high-performance SRT versatility

Dodge Durango III (WD Facelift 2014) (2014-2020)

The major 2014 update elevated the Durango WD into an accomplished performance SUV, distinguished by signature full-width LED 'racetrack' taillights and a modernised interior. Competing with large seven-seat family crossovers like the Peugeot 5008 while retaining muscular American heart, it married cutting-edge driveline technology with everyday utility. Carrying out scheduled Dodge Durango maintenance ensures its sophisticated multi-speed transmission and electronics operate reliably.

Central to the update was the introduction of the ZF-sourced TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic, which dramatically improved acceleration, cruising refinement and fuel economy across the 3.6 Pentastar, 5.7 HEMI and thunderous 475 bhp 6.4-litre SRT models. The Pentastar requires routine inspection of its plastic oil cooler housing in the engine V to catch leaks early. On SRT versions, the massive multi-piston Brembo brakes and active damping systems require dedicated upkeep.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • The ZF eight-speed automatic gearbox transforms drivability, gear selection responsiveness and fuel efficiency.
  • Eye-catching exterior styling featuring LED racetrack tail lamps and a refined, comfortable seven-seat interior.
  • SRT 6.4-litre 392 V8 variant offers staggering muscle car acceleration combined with seven-seat family practicality.
  • Exceptional towing capability remains standard across both V6 and V8 models.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • TorqueFlite 8-speed automatic fluid and software: neglected fluid or outdated TCM software causes harsh 2-1 downshifts or hesitant engagement - test slow stop-and-go driving thoroughly.
  • 3.6 Pentastar engine oil cooler assembly: cracks in the oil filter housing cause coolant and oil pooling in the engine valley - check for oil leaks dripping behind the transmission bellhousing.
  • 5.7 HEMI water pump and exhaust manifolds: heavy towing stresses cooling hardware and exhaust studs - check for cold start exhaust ticks and coolant level drops.
  • SRT 6.4 Brembo brakes and tyres: aggressive driving rapidly wears large two-piece brake discs, pads and high-performance tyres - inspect disc lip depth and inner tyre shoulder wear.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Engine oil and filter change every 10,000 km or 12 months using manufacturer-specified MS-6395 (V6/5.7) or MS-12633 0W-40 (SRT 6.4) synthetic oil.
  • ZF 8-speed automatic transmission fluid and pan/filter replacement every 80,000 km to protect the mechatronic unit.
  • Brake fluid replacement and performance caliper pin lubrication every 30,000 km or 24 months.
  • All-wheel-drive transfer case and front/rear differential fluid replacement every 50,000 km.
