About This 2018 Dodge Journey Crossroad

At 70,614 miles, this 2018 Dodge Journey sits comfortably in the sweet spot for a used SUV purchase — well past the steep initial depreciation curve, but with plenty of road life still ahead. The Crossroad trim is one of the more distinctive packages in the Journey lineup, bringing rugged styling cues and upgraded content that set it apart from the base SE and SXT grades. The Silver exterior gives it a clean, modern look that holds up well across model years, and AWD capability makes it a smart fit for anyone navigating Yakima County's variable road conditions, from wet fall commutes to winter runs over Snoqualmie Pass.

2018 Dodge Journey Performance and Engine

This Journey is powered by the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, one of the most celebrated engines in the Chrysler/FCA family. Paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission with Autostick manual control, you get 283 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque — more than enough to handle highway merges, mountain passes, and a full load of passengers and cargo with confidence. The all-wheel-drive system distributes power intelligently between the front and rear axles, giving you added traction when road conditions get slippery. The Autostick feature lets drivers manually step through gears for a more engaged driving experience when you want it, and seamlessly hands control back to the automatic when you don't.

Dodge Journey Crossroad Features and Interior

Crossroad Trim Upgrades

The Crossroad trim brings a sportier, adventure-ready aesthetic to the Journey's already flexible platform. You can expect Crossroad-specific badging, unique 19-inch aluminum wheels, and blacked-out exterior accents that give it a more aggressive look compared to standard trims. Inside, the Journey's cabin is genuinely spacious — the second and optional third-row seating layout makes it one of the more versatile three-row options in the under-$20,000 used SUV segment.

Technology and Comfort

Depending on build configuration, the 2018 Journey Crossroad can include Uconnect infotainment with a touchscreen interface, Bluetooth connectivity, backup camera, dual-zone climate control, and available navigation. The interior storage solutions are among the Journey's best-known strengths, with under-floor storage bins in the rear cargo area offering genuinely clever use of space — a feature families tend to love once they discover it.

Dodge Journey Reliability and Ownership

The 2018 Dodge Journey benefits from nearly a decade of mechanical refinement since the model's original launch. The 3.6L Pentastar V6 is widely regarded as one of the most durable engines in the segment, with a strong track record of reaching well over 150,000 miles with regular maintenance. Owners consistently praise the Journey for its spaciousness, low cost of ownership, and straightforward service needs. Routine maintenance — oil changes, tire rotations, brake service — is affordable and widely available throughout Yakima County. The 6-speed automatic transmission is generally reliable, though like any vehicle, keeping up with fluid changes helps ensure long-term performance. At 70,614 miles, this one is in its prime ownership years with plenty of life remaining.
