Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2019 Durango 5.7L.
The 2019 Dodge Durango is a WD-platform SUV powered by a 5.7L V8 paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, returning EPA fuel economy of 14 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, and 17 mpg combined — figures that reflect the tradeoff buyers accept for a large-displacement three-row utility vehicle. Routine maintenance is straightforward, with a 7.0-quart oil capacity using 5W-20 viscosity, though the model year carries 138 owner complaints and 4 recalls, with exterior lighting emerging as the top complaint area. Looking across the Durango's full complaint history from 1997 through 2026, this 2019 model sits comfortably in the lower tier — far removed from the 1999 peak of 2,043 complaints and closer in character to the early, low-volume years — which suggests that by this point in the platform's lifecycle, most major teething issues had been ironed out and the remaining concerns are relatively minor in scope.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Across this generation, federal complaints trended downward after peaking in the early years (797 in 2011 and 781 in 2014), stabilizing into a lower-complaint plateau from 2016 onward. The 2019 Durango falls favorably within this mature arc, recording just 138 complaints—a notable decrease from 228 in 2018 and substantially lower than the 185 complaints seen in 2021. For 2019, the federal record shows 4 recalls and only 1 investigation, with the primary complaints concentrated in Exterior Lighting (29) and the Electrical System (9), though the data does not specify the root causes for these issues. Crash and fire complaints remain minimal at 4 and 2, respectively. Given its position in the generation's maturity curve and historically low complaint volume, the 2019 model is a relatively safe and recommended year to purchase on the used market.
