Stock #6815EAC is on the lot now — come see it in person and take it for a spin on the Detroit streets it was made for.

About This 2020 Dodge Journey Crossroad

This 2020 Dodge Journey Crossroad comes in at 129,340 miles, which puts it squarely in the category of a high-mileage used SUV — but that's not the whole story. The Journey is known for being a workhorse, and buyers who keep up with basic maintenance routinely push these vehicles well past 150,000 miles. At this mileage, you're getting a vehicle that has already taken its biggest depreciation hit, meaning you get a three-row-capable family SUV at a fraction of the original sticker price.

The Crossroad trim is a step above the base SE, bringing a sportier exterior package with unique badging, upgraded interior touches, and a more aggressive look that sets it apart from the standard Journey lineup. For buyers in Detroit who want something with a little more personality without jumping into a premium price bracket, this trim hits the sweet spot.

2020 Dodge Journey Performance and Engine

Under the hood of this Journey Crossroad sits a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission with Autostick — a setup that's simple, proven, and easy to service. Front-wheel drive keeps things manageable in Michigan winters when paired with a good set of snow tires, which any Detroit-area driver knows is a must from November through March.

The 2.4-liter four-cylinder produces around 173 horsepower, which is adequate for daily driving, city commutes, and highway cruising. The 4-speed automatic is an older design by today's standards, but it's a known quantity — straightforward to maintain and generally reliable when fluid changes are kept current. Don't expect sports car acceleration, but do expect a comfortable, predictable ride through downtown Detroit, out to Dearborn, or up to Warren.

Dodge Journey Crossroad Features and Interior

The Crossroad trim brings several notable upgrades over the base Journey. Expect a heated steering wheel, heated front seats, and an infotainment touchscreen with available connectivity features that make everyday driving more comfortable. The interior is practical first — cloth seating, a functional dash layout, and enough cabin space to handle families, groceries, and gear without complaint.

One of the Journey's most practical advantages is its optional third-row seating and available under-floor cargo storage — smart design touches that give this SUV genuine family utility. Whether you're hauling kids to school in Livonia or loading up for a weekend trip to the Upper Peninsula, the Journey's flexible interior layout makes it easy to adapt.

Dodge Journey Reliability and Ownership

The Dodge Journey has a mixed reputation online, but a lot of that noise comes from owners who neglected maintenance or pushed early model years hard. The 2020 model year benefits from years of refinement, and the 2.4-liter four-cylinder is generally considered the more reliable of the two engine options offered in the Journey lineup.

Common ownership advice from Journey drivers: stay on top of oil changes, watch the transmission fluid, and have the cooling system inspected if it hasn't been recently. At 129,000-plus miles, a pre-purchase inspection from a trusted Detroit-area mechanic is always money well spent. With proper care, this vehicle has plenty of life left in it for a smart buyer.
