Dodge Journey
Revised and revamped in 2011, the Dodge Journey has been selling like hotcakes since its 2009 debut. The base model trims are equipped with a 2.4L 4-cylinder engine that produces 173 hp and 166 lbs.-ft. of torque. Meanwhile, a V6 is also available for the SXT, Crew and R/T models. It’s the 3.6L Pentastar that was introduced in several models last year. Journeys with the V6 can be ordered with AWD.
