Used Dodge Journey: the years to buy and the years to skip

Every Dodge Journey from 2011 to 2020: what each year typically sells for (about $5,500 to $12,500), its crash rating, and whether it's a year to target or skip. The best bets are 2011–2020.

2011–2020 Dodge Journey

A low-cost crossover with an optional small third row and an easy touchscreen system.

Worth knowing

  • The base four-cylinder with its four-speed automatic is slow and thirsty. Crash protection and cabin quality trail newer rivals.

The trim we'd park in our garage

Look for an SXT or Crossroad with the 3.6-liter V6: it is far better than the weak four-cylinder, and these trims add the touchscreen and nicer interior features.
