Dodge Durango vs Toyota Sequoia: what the numbers mean
Running cost over five years: at the EPA's 15,000-mile-a-year assumption the Toyota Sequoia burns about $2,800 of fuel annually against $2,950 for the Dodge Durango. That $150 yearly gap compounds to roughly $750 over five years and $1,200 over eight — often more than the price difference between two trims of the same vehicle, and the single largest running-cost line item separating these two.
City versus highway split: the Toyota Sequoia is the stronger commuter at 21 mpg city, while the Dodge Durango pulls ahead on the interstate at 26 mpg highway. If most of your driving is stop-and-go traffic the city figure is the one to weigh; for long-distance highway mileage the reverse is true, and the two vehicles effectively swap places depending on how you drive.
Powertrain choice: the Dodge Durango is recorded with 4 distinct engine configurations (6.4, 6.2, 5.7), the Toyota Sequoia with 3 (SIDI & PFI; Hybrid, 5.7, FFV). Across 65 recorded Dodge Durango configurations and 30 for the Toyota Sequoia, the wider the engine spread the more the real-world fuel efficiency depends on which version you actually buy, so check the specific model year and drivetrain rather than the headline number.
Drivetrain and class: the Dodge Durango is offered with All-Wheel Drive, Rear-Wheel Drive, 4-Wheel Drive, the Toyota Sequoia with Rear-Wheel Drive, Part-time 4-Wheel Drive. All-wheel drive typically costs one to two mpg combined against the same vehicle in front- or rear-wheel drive, which is worth remembering when the gap between these two is small. The EPA classes them as Standard Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD and Standard Sport Utility Vehicle 4WD respectively — the class drives the interior volume, cargo space and passenger space each one is measured against.
Tailpipe emissions: at their cleanest configurations the Toyota Sequoia emits 395 g/mile of CO2 versus 414 g/mile for the Dodge Durango. Emissions track fuel consumption almost exactly, so the cleaner vehicle here is also the cheaper one to fuel.
