2010 Dodge Journey review: Our expert's take

The Dodge Journey is the epitome of the term “mixed bag.” It does some things pretty well and some not so well. I found the Journey to be weakest in the city — running short errands, ferrying one person or driving narrow streets. By comparison, it’s at its best making grocery runs and cruising on the highway. But that’s not to say it’s a slam-dunk winner in either role.

City & Highway Acceleration If you’re considering buying this car, the most important thing you need to do is take it on a highway and pass someone. The Journey isn’t great at accelerating at any speed, but going from 40 to 60 mph really took more time than I thought it should, including waiting for the engine to rev up and the transmission to kick down.

I tested the top-of-the-line R/T with a 235-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6, a six-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Dodge also sells a base Journey with a 173-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder that’s paired with a four-speed automatic.

You can get the Journey with either front- or all-wheel drive, and it’s possible that the approximately 200 pounds of extra weight that all-wheel-drive models carry contributed to the lackluster acceleration.

The Journey moved decently in the city. It took off from stoplights well for something this big, but that was the lone bright spot in terms of acceleration. The city was also where the Journey’s mixed bag of attributes really became evident.

Visibility & Ride Don’t ask me where the Journey’s front bumper is — I still don’t know. And that’s after driving it for a week. In other words, visibility out the front wasn’t very good. I was always misjudging how far into a parking space I was.

The Journey also feels bigger than it is. No matter where I drove, it felt like the Journey was as wide as whatever lane I was in. In reality, it’s smaller than the Audi Q7 I tested recently, though it feels much bigger. (And before you say, “The Journey doesn’t compete with the Q7!” I’m merely pointing out the difference in how the cars feel.)

The Journey’s ride is also mixed. Cruising on the highway, it’s comfortable. There’s some floaty sensation when going over hills and the like, but overall I liked it. Tooling around town, however — especially in Chicago, where the roads stink and the traffic is stop-and-go — the Journey feels like an older SUV. There’s a lot of jiggle — almost like the chassis was shuddering, but not severely — and a lot more of that floaty sensation when traveling over rough spots. I wasn’t a fan.

Utility & Interior Our Journey came with an optional third-row seat that must have been designed for small children, because it’s tiny. Fold the seat, though, and you’re treated to a very large cargo area. I was almost able to fit a large ironing board in back without folding the second row. I’ve also used the Journey for ski trips and tested it as a Weekend Athlete vehicle , and it’s fairly handy.

The Journey’s interior makes it one of a couple cars I’ve driven lately that I actually prefer to drive at night. The version we tested came with an option package that included LEDs for the driver and front passenger, but Dodge really nailed the lighting for the buttons and controls — things not touched by the LEDs. It’s not too bright and distracting, but it’s also not so dark you can’t see what you need to see. It’s very well done.

The steering wheel is the right size, and the leather you can get it wrapped in feels good. As you spend most your driving time with your hands on the wheel (hopefully), a little effort in this area goes a long way.

Second-row room is … OK. Bear in mind, I climbed in back with the driver’s seat set for me, and I’m 6-foot-1. Two taller people would find it tiresome to share that space on a long drive, but shorter folks probably wouldn’t be bothered. Also, the second-row seat is comfortably wide, so as long as you’re not tall, the Journey’s backseat would be fine on long highway trips.

Outright dislikes Yes, there were some things I wasn’t over the moon about. The good news for people considering the Journey is that almost all those problems are solvable. Basically, whether I was folding the seats, changing the radio station or inputting a destination in the navigation system, nothing worked as I expected it to. Everything required at least two steps, one of which made no sense at all, and the controls for the radio and navigation system felt cheap and responded sluggishly.

These kinds of things are usually a bigger deal for auto critics than auto owners, because if it’s your car, you learn the steps, get used to them and it all becomes second nature. But I’ve driven cars more advanced than the Journey that took only 30 minutes to figure out. This car took my entire week with it to figure out, and I never got used to the controls’ hesitation. It could be better.

Also, whoever designed the navigation readout made a mistake, because it’s impossible to read street names; they’re all lettered in black and edged in white. I gave up even trying to read them two days into my test and was much happier.

Mileage, Safety, Reliability, Compare The 2010 Dodge Journey is an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick. It earned scores of “Good,” the highest rating, in frontal-offset, side-impact, roof-strength and rear-impact tests. Check out the Standard Equipment & Specs page for a full list of safety features.

According to Consumer Reports, though, the Journey’s predicted reliability is much worse than average. The Journey is dragged down by poor ratings in the squeaks and rattles and power equipment categories.

The V-6 Journey’s EPA-estimated mileage is 15/23 mpg city/highway with all-wheel drive, but the crossover is rated as high as 19/25 mpg with front-wheel drive and a four-cylinder.

The Journey was introduced for the 2009 model year, and changes for 2010 are more incremental than major, but judge for yourself here .

Journey in the Market The Journey is not my favorite three-row crossover, but what really hurts it is that it is a three-row crossover. The fact is, if you want to haul that many people and cargo, a minivan is a superior vehicle. I’ve tested the Chrysler Town & Country, and it was easier to drive than the Journey. It’s more expensive than the Journey, sure, but if you pick the Town & Country’s sibling, the Dodge Grand Caravan, you’re looking at roughly the same price for a more practical vehicle.

Now, in the real world, I know once people decide on a crossover they won’t cross-shop it with a minivan. Fine.

In the field of three-row crossovers, the Journey doesn’t offer anything that makes it an outright winner. Yes, the highway ride is good, and the ergonomic things that annoyed me would fade the longer I drove it. Seating room is OK, too, if you’re not a giant. So maybe if I lived in the suburbs, had a small family and spent most of my time cruising (but not passing) on highways, I’d like it more. Even at that, though, I’m still not sold on it. The fact is, sooner or later, I’d find myself stuck in a city or stuck trying to pass someone at speed, and I wouldn’t be happy.

If I were shopping for this type of car I’d also give a lot of weight to predicted reliability, so the Journey’s poor performance in this category would weigh heavily, even though the things that drag it down aren’t transmissions or engines. Its safety ratings are excellent, but, sorry, I just don’t weigh that as heavily as other factors. That’s just me, though.

In the end, I’d recommend giving the Journey a test drive, but I’m betting it will turn out to be the car that sets the baseline for you. Anything I would actually buy would have to perform better than the Journey did.

A gray Dodge Journey, one of the years to avoid, driving down a dirt road.

Before the discontinuation, the Dodge Journey was one of the best mid-size SUVs produced for a dozen generations, and Dodge didn’t give up on it due to reliability issues. However, that doesn’t mean you can just go ahead and buy any model as some model years have received quite a few complaints.

This reliable info can make buying a car easier for you. Want to know how we do it? Find out more about our research methodology .

How we rated the best and worst Dodge Journey years

During our evaluation of the Dodge Journey as a model, we’ve gone through the reports on various model years based on several sources. First, we relied on trustworthy organizations like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and we went through their records including details on recalls and common driver complaints.

After that, we’ve done some more digging on Dodge Journey recalls through reliable platforms like Cars.com, as well as sources of authority like Edmunds and Kelly Blue Book. As mentioned, we wanted to give you honest Dodge Journey reviews and we could only do that by citing some forums with real experiences of previous drivers and Journey owners.

Most common Dodge Journey problems

The Dodge Journey might be a safe and reliable vehicle. However, it is not exempt from faults and flaws. Among the Dodge Journey most common problems you could run upon are brake problems, defective remote keyless entry systems, interior water leaks, or even damaged head gaskets, so we’ll discuss each of those in more detail.

1. Overheating engine

Engine issues are a common issue in faulty Dodge Journey model years. For the Dodge Journey, these problems happened in the 2009-2016 model years, causing overheating once they hit the 78,000-mile mark. This problem is likely caused by coolant flow challenges due to debris locking the cylinder head coolant port at its primary thermostat housing.

At first, the vehicle’s temperature light may turn on, but this worsens over time. Some Journey owners complained that their vehicles experienced engine power loss , leading to overheating. The vehicle may also develop coolant leaks, which become excessive for its overflow reservoir, causing coolant fluid to spill over.

These engine problems are usually expensive and dangerous, depending on where they happen. For a driver, you don’t want to encounter engine issues every day.

2. Brake problems

Brake issues were the most common troubles that plagued the Dodge Journey, especially its 2009-2010 model years. The brakes on these models wear out prematurely , which happens to relatively new Journey vehicles at about 30,000 miles. Some drivers mentioned that this issue has become severe, requiring them to replace their brakes every three months.

The abovementioned issues are among the few brake-related problems you could face if you purchase a problematic Dodge Journey model year. These issues are inconvenient and dangerous, especially for driving at high speeds. You want to avoid a vehicle that struggles with maintaining proper brakes. 

3. Defective remote keyless entry system

The Dodge Journey has many cool features, and the remote keyless system is supposed to be one of them. Instead, the keyless system is another Dodge Journey feature that has become problematic for drivers.

Many frustrated owners complain that the system doesn’t work correctly as it gives off either wrong key readings or the annoying “key not detected” message. The system sometimes interferes with the key fob, preventing drivers from locking or unlocking the doors. To fix this issue, owners may need to do a software update.

4. Interior water leaks

Some owners of the 2009-2018 Dodge Journey models have expressed discomfort caused by dampness inside the cabin. The cabin appears vulnerable to water leaks , typically at a low mileage of about 50,000 to 60,000 miles. According to complaints from owners, the driver’s seat floor of the Dodge Journey may become wet when they travel in the rain.

Other drivers complained that they noticed leaks near the side of the Journey, causing wet floors and carpets. Additionally, some drivers reported leaks near windows, headliners, and vents, and you may need a professional to fix the leaks and resolve the issue.

5. Damaged head gasket

This is another notorious Dodge Journey issue among vehicle owners. Drivers note that this problem commonly happens at about 100,000 miles. It might begin with performance issues and graduate to engine failure over time. This may be due to cracked or damaged head gaskets.

Some drivers have reported having leaky or blown head gaskets , causing severe damage to the engine. Experts recommend a compression test to verify if your Journey has faulty head gaskets. If they are defective, you may replace them yourself if you are a DIYer or have a professional do the job.

Worst Dodge Journey years to avoid

The Dodge Journey has had several great models; however, there are also some model years you should avoid if you intend to purchase a Dodge Journey. Below is a list of Journey model years to avoid:

Naturally, our team will get you through all these model years and their issues so you can have an easier time picking the most reliable Journey model.

First-generation Journey (2009-2012 model years)

The 2009 Dodge Journey was the first model of this generation, and it was associated with numerous problems and complaints from drivers. Its prevalent issue was with the brakes, and many drivers complained of frequent brake replacements within a short timeframe. These drivers point out that the vehicle is too heavy for the brake pads and rotors.

Other drivers reported that regardless of how gentle you are with the vehicle, it doesn’t stop the brakes from wearing out at 30,000 miles or earlier. Additionally, the braking power isn’t sufficient for the size of the vehicle and can lead to disastrous accidents in the worst cases.

Another issue of the 2009 model year was with its transmission, which caused rough gear shifting . Some drivers complained that shifting the vehicle out of the first gear was difficult, especially during cold weather. Also, several drivers report that their transmission fails at around 60,000 miles, causing them to abandon the vehicle.

The 2009 and 2010 models were also plagued by electrical faults that prevented the engine from turning over, which may be caused by the neutral safety switch losing communication with the shifter. Most drivers had to put their vehicles in neutral to get the engine to start up. Some drivers also complained that they experience these issues on other components like the horn, windows, radios, etc.

2011 Dodge model year also had issues with the brakes, but unlike the 2009-2010 models, which had brakes that required premature replacements , the 2011 model had brakes that made grinding and squealing sounds. In addition to the noises, drivers complain that their 2011 Journey shakes the steering wheel while braking.

Best Dodge Journey years

The Dodge Journey has several years, which drivers have confirmed to be reliable while offering remarkable performance. So, are you still wondering what are the best Dodge Journey years to buy? The best Dodge Journey years are 2005, 2017, and 2020. Still, there’s a full list of best-rated models:

These Dodge Journey models are some of the best years to date and provide excellent performance. If you are searching for the best Journey years to buy, these years are great choices, and they would give little to no problems without any cause for expensive repairs.

2005 Dodge Journey

Based on all the available NHTSA records and reliability reports, the 2005 Dodge Journey is the best model to date. It only received a few complaints including some engine cooling difficulties, but none of those reports were sufficient to place the model on a list of problematic years.

With a clean reliability record , the model scored a decent overall rating of 4 out of 5 based on reliable automotive agencies.

2017 Dodge Journey

As for the later model years, the 2017 Dodge Journey made it to the list as one of the most reliable options. It received model-specific concerns with some of the main complaints being related to A/C heater faults and electrical malfunctions.

2020 Dodge Journey

Finally, we can’t leave out the 2020 Journey model which also proved to be pretty reliable with just under 10 reliability concerns. Among those, drivers have mostly reported problems with seat belts and brakes, while the model received an overall rating of 4.2 out of 5 on Cars.com and similar sources.

Is the Dodge Journey worth buying?

The Dodge Journey is an excellent SUV with remarkable performance. However, it doesn’t have a reasonable edge over its rivals, as consumers complain that the vehicle is made from cheap interior materials and lacks a host of safety features that can be found in most competitors.

If you’re eyeing versatile SUVs check out Ford Explorer Sport Trac years to avoid , Nissan Xterra years to avoid , or Mitsubishi Outlander years to avoid . While these vehicles are known for their ruggedness and capability, it’s vital to consider that not all model years have lived up to expectations.

What is the most common problem with the Dodge Journey?

The remote keyless entry system is Dodge Journey’s most reported issue. According to drivers, the system gives off the wrong readings or the u0022key not detectedu0022 message.

Is a Dodge Journey a reliable car?

The Dodge Journey is reliable as long as you keep away from its worst model years.

How many miles can you expect from a Dodge Journey?

The Dodge Journey can last up to 200,00 miles under ideal maintenance conditions.

Should I buy a Dodge Journey?

Yes, you can buy a Dodge Journey; however, you want to avoid buying its worst years. Also, it would be best if you considered its interior before making a purchase.

The Dodge Journey has had some great models, but there are also some Dodge Journey years to avoid if you are thinking about investing in a used model. There are many reasons why you should stay away from these versions.

The Dodge Journey years to stay away from include:

These are some of the worst years in existence for the Dodge Journey.

Many factors have made these years of the Dodge Journey challenging for the average driver. We’ll dive further into these next so you can better understand the reasoning behind selecting these as the Dodge Journey years to avoid. We can help you with the decision aspect of your next vehicle investment. 

What Makes These Years Worth Avoiding?

As we mentioned, several things make these Dodge Journey years worth avoiding. There are more than three issues with these years, but we’ll go over three of the most prominent to give you a solid idea of the most common problems you’ll encounter. According to carcomplaints.com , some of the top reasons that make these years worth avoiding include:

  • Brake problems 
  • Engine issues
  • Interior accessory troubles 
  • Interior water leaks
  • Malfunctioning remote keyless entry

These were not the only problems with the Dodge Journey years listed above, but they were the most apparent.

Read on to learn about each of these issues in more detail. The more you know about the potential problems you can face with the faulty models, the better a decision you can make about your next car choice. There are lots to consider when preparing to make an investment this large.

THE MOST RELIABLE YEAR FOR THE DODGE JOURNEY

Although there’s a ton of information, we’ve narrowed down the critical portions for your car-hunting needs. Read on to learn more about the most reliable year Dodge Journey , the least reliable selection, and anything else you should know.

Brake Problems

Brake problems were the most prominent issue that emerged with the Dodge Journey, especially the 2009 model. This is an inconvenience and wildly dangerous for those who drive at high speeds. You don’t want a vehicle that struggles to maintain proper brakes.

Some brake problems include:

  • Premature brake and rotor wear
  • Noisy brakes
  • Calipers that lock up

These are just a few brake problems that can emerge if you select one of the problematic Dodge Journey years.

Brakes are a critical aspect of any vehicle. If you select one of the above models and don’t maintain your brakes, you could face danger and wild expenses in the future. This issue stands out as the worst of the Dodge Journey’s faulty years.

Engine Issues

Engine issues are the second problem in the faulty Dodge Journey years. Engine problems can be expensive and even dangerous depending on where they occur. If you’re a driver, engine problems are not something you want to deal with daily.

Some of the engine problems include:

  • Dying engine while driving
  • Ticking sound from the engine
  • Check engine light always on

It’s safe to say that none of these engine issues appeal to drivers, no matter how small they seem.

You’re paying lots of money for a used Dodge Journey, so why pick one with severe engine faults ingrained in its system? Go with a more reliable model to ensure that you stay safe on the road and save money.

Interior Accessory Troubles

Finally, interior accessory troubles are one of the final issues that plague some models of the Dodge Journey. These problems can deal with anything from the vehicle’s door to the car’s window and everything in between. 

These issues are both a nuisance to the typical car owner and an unnecessary expense. The more things break, the more it will cost to fix them. It’s vital to invest in a version of the Dodge Journey that has a stable interior so you can avoid the pain of fixing interior accessory breakages regularly.

Interior Water Leaks

Owners of the 2009-2018 Dodge Journeys have compromised their comfort of dampness inside the cabin. Apparently, the cabin is susceptible to water leaks which may occur at the low mileage of 58,000 miles.

According to the reports, the driver seat floor of the Dodge Journey may become moist whenever you’re driving in the rain. In some complaints, there are also leaks found near the rear side of the Journey, which may get your floor and carpet wet. Leaks were also reported near vents, windows, and headliners. You may need a professional to seal the leaky areas and solve this issue.

Defective Remote Keyless Entry System

There’s no shortage of neat features offered by the 2009-2017 Dodge Journeys – unfortunately, the remote keyless entry function isn’t one of them. The remote keyless entry system is one of the most reported issues with the Dodge Journey.

According to frustrated owners, the system refuses to work properly as you’ll either get wrong key readings or the dreaded “key not detected” message. In some cases, the system also interfered with the key fob that prevented drivers from locking or unlocking the doors. A software update is required to fix the issue.

Which Years Are Safe to Buy Used?

We talked about some of the worst years of the Dodge Journey, but what about the best? It’s vital to understand your options before you go all in and put your money down on a used vehicle. We’ll go over some of the best choices for Dodge Journey years below.

According to carcomplaints.com , some of the best years for the Dodge Journey include:

  • 2015 Dodge Journey - If you want a used SUV that seats up to seven passengers, the 2015 Dodge Journey is a great option. However, make no mistake, the 2015 Journey is simply an OK SUV and you’re probably better off with its competitors. However, it offers good long-term reliability along with reasonable pricing.
  • 2016 Dodge Journey - The 2016 Journey is better than the previous year, and it’s more affordable than its segment competitors. It offers an intuitive infotainment system, versatile seating and cargo features, and fair reliability ratings.
  • 2017 Dodge Journey - The 2017 Dodge Journey comes with a low average list price, which is great if you’re buying used. Furthermore, it provides a comfortable ride and a sleek infotainment system. In terms of reliability, it received some fair scores but nothing too impressive.
  • 2018 Dodge Journey - Although the 2018 Journey may be more reliable than the models to avoid, it doesn’t have strong predicted reliability scores. Its main selling points are affordable pricing and low ownership costs.
  • 2019 Dodge Journey - The 2019 Journey offers good dependability and fuel economy. Other than that, it can be a hit or miss, especially in build quality. If you can find a good price for it, then by all means. Otherwise, this model is certainly a skip.

These years have been some of the best to date with the Dodge Journey.

If you are looking for the best Dodge Journey year to buy, these make for excellent options to choose from for your future. Look into each of them a little more to determine if they’re right for you. Whichever one you select, it’s sure to be better than the faulty years listed above.

Q: What are some of the most common issues reported by owners of the Dodge Journey model years to avoid?

A:  Owners of the 2009-2012 Dodge Journeys have reported a variety of problems, including brake issues such as premature wear, noisy operation, and locking calipers; engine troubles like dying while driving, ticking sounds, and persistent check engine lights; and interior accessory malfunctions.

Q: What engine problems have been reported for the problematic years of the Dodge Journey?

A:  Engine issues are another significant concern for the 2009-2012 Dodge Journeys. Owners have experienced problems such as the engine dying while driving, ticking sounds coming from the engine, and the check engine light remaining constantly illuminated.

How much does a used Dodge Journey typically cost?

The high demand for affordable family vehicles and tight supplies have significantly increased the cost for used Dodge Journeys. According to CoPilot Price Pulse , a 2013 Journey has a typical asking price of $10,020, which is 37% higher than what it would be in normal market conditions. A 2019 Journey costs $20,601 (including a 29% market premium). 

Is the Dodge Journey a good car to purchase?

Not every Dodge Journey model year is known for reliability. That’s something to consider before making a purchase. Research the most reliable years of the Dodge Journey before looking for what to buy.

10 Used Dodge Models That Can Stand The Test Of Time

Dodge has a polarizing relationship regarding reliability for their creations, forcing many to look away from the vast back catalog of used Dodge cars. However, being a part of the Chrysler umbrella has perks, such as the company's decade partnership with Daimler-Benz and continuing bonds with the cross-continent Stellantis group. As a result, a used Dodge car can easily be the product of "badge engineering," if not an iconic model of their own . Knowing today's best-selling Dodge Challenger shares an evolved platform with a 2002 Mercedes-Benz E-Class begins to put the industry into perspective.

The best-selling muscle car of 2022, the Dodge Challenger, is also the cheapest Dodge car you can buy today, with prices starting at $30,545. Be that as it may, let's use statistics from J.D. Power and Cars.com to determine the most reliable used Dodge cars today.

2020 Dodge Charger – 89/100

As far as used Dodge cars go, the 2020 Dodge Charger ticks every box. Despite its initial outlay , a four-door sedan loaded with a slew of beefy Hemi V8 engines, what’s not to love? Furthermore, Dodge’s 2020 efforts on their family-friendly muscle car scored 89/100 for reliability as the seventh-gen Dodge Charger entered its ninth year of production. Dodge sold 77,426 Charger models in 2020 despite the Covid-19 Pandemic.

With a recent $99 million investment for smaller power plants from the company's Stellantis overlords, the earth-shattering 717 hp 6.2-liter Hemi aboard the 2020 Dodge Charger SRT looks set to retire beyond 2023. So, despite the Charger's ropey maintenance costs, this 2020 used Dodge model is your best bet for a reliable muscle car experience.

2016 Dodge Challenger – 86/100

One of the best-selling cars in its class for 2022 , more specifically, the best-selling muscle car of 2022, is the Dodge Challenger. Sadly, the 2022 car costs an average of $130,000, whereas a 2016 car featuring the same ludicrous SRT Hellcat package costs an average of $56,673! To further emphasize your parent's favorite phrase, “value for money!” The 2016 variant of the Dodge Challenger scores a trusty 86/100 for quality and reliability, cementing the used Dodge model among the great, indestructible used muscle cars on the market today.

In fact, despite relatively high maintenance costs for the Dodge brand as a whole, the 2023 Dodge Challenger and Charger are the company’s most cost-effective models regarding maintenance and repairs over 10 years, according to CarEdge.

2007 Dodge Dakota – 86/100

The Dodge Dakota was the first midsize production truck to draw power from a V8 power plant, the rather dull albeit highly dependable 4.7-liter Magnum V8. Dodge unleashed the Dakota compact pickup a touch larger than the Ford Ranger and Chevrolet S-10 competition, featuring a rigid body-on-frame chassis construction just like its larger Dodge Ram cousins. However, don’t be fooled by its small size: this used Dodge has a respectable 6,850 lb towing capacity to partner with that grunting V8 block.

2007 saw the Dodge Dakota score 86/100 for quality and reliability, marking a sweet spot for the used Dodge today. Although Dodge pulled the plug on the wee truck in 2011, Ford's exploits with the Maverick look to have forced the hand of Stellantis for a 2024 return !

2017 Dodge Durango – 83/100

A used Dodge Durango strikes most automotive fraternities as an expensive threat. However, the 2017 model year poses a silver lining across the SUV's lengthy lifespan, scoring a respectable 83/100 for quality and reliability. Furthermore, Consumer Reports score the 2017 model year an incredible 4.7/5 for reliability as Dodge continues to manufacture their Mercedes-Benz-inspired SUV.

Customers today are met with reliable used cars packing a 5.7-liter Hemi. Even better, the Dodge branded brute costs an average of $19,700!

2008 Dodge Ram 1500 – 83/100

The now-independent Ram manufactures the most expensive trucks regarding maintenance and repairs. However, it was not always this way under the keen eye of Dodge. The 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 is the perfect example, scoring a modest 83/100 for quality and reliability and backed up by a 4.4/5 rating according to existing customers.

2008 saw the tail end of the third-generation truck, and Dodge was not shy with engine options. Power plants such as the 5.7-liter Hemi and the iconic 6.7-liter turbocharged diesel from Cummins made their way to the plucky used Dodge as the little hauler featured a respectable 8,750 lb towing capacity.

2007 Dodge Ram 2500 – 81/100

Dodge Ram trucks will soon cost a fortune on the used car market due to the unique nature of the marque separation. If you're looking to jump the gun and a used Dodge 1500 lacks the pulling power, a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 has you covered with a far superior 13,050 lb towing capacity emanating from that glorious 5.7-liter Hemi V8.

A used 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 costs an average of $14,137 today and scores a respectable 81/100 quality and reliability rating with J.D. Power.

2012 Dodge Caliber – 80/100

A used Dodge Caliber hatchback from 2012 can take on the most reliable cars from popular automotive brands . Despite its dull nature, the Caliber silenced the polarizing PT Cruiser in 2007, and by 2012, Consumer Reports rated the used Dodge 4.4/5 for reliability, thanks to its simplistic nature. Chrysler utilized many four-pot engines for the Caliber from their World Gasoline Engine partnerships.

Furthermore, a used Dodge Caliber arrives on the Chrysler PM/MK platform inherited from the Mitsubishi GS Platform, you know, the one that the iconic Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution rides on. And you thought it was boring!

2014 Dodge Journey – 79/100

Some cars crash through the gate with an outstanding reputation for dependability. However, others fall flat on their face due to a poor first impression. The Dodge Journey is a great example. Scarred by its initial unreliable nature on release in 2008/09, Dodge went on a “Journey” with the model as by 2014, the Dodge Journey sports a 4.2/5 reliability rank from its very own consumers, leading to a reliable used Dodge remaining in today's market.

Dodge equipped their 2009-2020 crossover SUV with a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine shared across the Hyundai and Mitsubishi range, even sharing one of Volkswagen's incredibly durable 2.0-liter TDI diesel engines with the roomy crossover to ensure a trouble-free experience.

2009 Dodge Avenger – 79/100

Some classic American cars refuse to quit . The Dodge Avenger is by no means a classic, but it’s undoubtedly American, as Dodge chose to market the vehicle as The “Superhero Vehicle For The Every Man.” Dodge unleashed their Avenger in 2007 alongside the budding Journey model. Like the Journey, Dodge fitted several inline-four engines, but also included a trio of V6 options too.

Despite Chrysler's rocky relationship with the V6 engine configuration, the 2009 Avenger represents a reliable used Dodge on today's market, featuring a 79/100 quality and reliability rating for the company’s in house superhero.

1994 Dodge Ram – 4.7/5

Dodge is primarily known for their best-selling classic muscle cars. However, between 1981 and 2010, the Chrysler-owned company pioneered the pickup truck market. The second-generation Dodge Ram Pickup truck began life in 1994, and the used Dodge truck represents far more than its glistening 4.7/5 consumer reliability rating.

The "Louisville Slugger" is the first truck to arrive with a V10 engine, the tubby 8.0-liter Magnum developing 300 hp. Despite the grunty V10, Dodge evolved the reputation of the pickup truck from a typical workhorse into a livable daily cruiser by equipping the second-gen Dodge Ram with convenient storage and a luxurious interior. Today's $100,000+ trucks have the second-generation Ram to thank for their abundant nature.

The number of arithmetic operations required to determine the network reliability was estimated. Internet-like networks were considered by way of example. For the networks with edges of low and high reliability, the asymptotic formulas were derived. The calculations were based on approximating reliability by the sum of probabilities of operability of all acyclic paths or the sum of probabilities of failure of all network sections that are minimal in set-theoretical inclusion.
