2018 Dodge Journey Review

In this day and age, when the hope for a truly powerful and capable crossover SUV is nearly dead, folks in Franklin, Greenwood, New Whiteland, and the surrounding Indiana communities are just looking for a light-some hope, some sign, some savior. Luckily, the 2018 Dodge Journey is that light. Check it out!

Our team at Fletcher Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram wrote this 2018 Dodge Journey review because this is the type of vehicle you need-powerful, capable, rugged, and durable. Are you interested yet?

Dodge Journey: Powerful & Capable

First of all, the 2018 Dodge Journey lets you choose between two different exhilarating engine options.

With the standard 2.4L 16-Valve Four-Cylinder Engine, you'll enjoy up to 173 horsepower and 166 lb-ft of torque. This option also puts the efficiency of Variable Valve Timing (VVT) technology in your SUV, which boosts its fuel economy ratings all the way up to 25 highway MPG1.

Or, with the available 3.6L Pentastar® V6 Engine, those output numbers will jump to 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. But that's not all. Specs like that do more than look good-lots more. They'll allow you to tow up to 2,500 pounds when properly equipped. See your dealer for details.

Next, the engineers over at Dodge packed this thing full of performance-promoting technology like Electronic Stability Control, Electronic Roll Mitigation, and Antilock Brakes. These systems will work incredibly hard to ensure that you stay on track, regardless of what the road throws your way.

Finally, you even get the choice of three available suspensions: an independent suspension (with front struts and a multilink rear), a touring suspension (for a firmer ride and sportier experience), or a high-performance suspension (possible on the 2018 Dodge Journey GT).

Dodge Journey: Rugged & Durable

Another great thing about Dodge is that they're known for their formidable warranties-we view these as a testament to their faith in their product's ruggedness and durability. Regardless of whether you're relying upon the Basic Warranty (3 Years/36,000 Miles), the Drivetrain Warranty (5 Years/60,000 Miles), the Corrosion Plan (5 Years/Unlimited Miles), or the Roadside Assistance Package, your 2018 Dodge Journey is good to go.

2018 Dodge Journey: Extremely Safe, Too?

Last, but certainly not least, we'll list a few of the intelligent safety features for the 2018 Dodge Journey:

  • ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera
  • ParkSense® Rear Park Assist System
  • Advanced Brake Assist
  • Electronic Brake Force Distribution

And that's not even counting its protective frame, nor its active front seat head restraints.
