It's only 4 years old with 92k on it though. Far from worn out no?

Hmmm....only issue is tacking on another xx years of payments when they'd be done in 2.. Interesting though

Thanks Bramfrank. A big issue is that there is nothing competitive size-wise that is in the same price range. I'd have to jump up a class to have something similar in size or bigger.

I agree Silenze. It was really a question of reliability. Assuming the truck remains as problem free as anyone can hope for, I hope I can drive it for years to come! I just wanted to see if you guys had any major issues or if the truck has been pretty reliable for you all

Oh and true Canadian dealers don't give a crap. In the US you guys get way better deals!!

It will be paid off in 2 years. I just wanted to see if you guys find it reliable. Think it'll make it to 200k if well taken care of? It's my 1st Dodge!

Hey guys I have a 2011 Journey CREW. I must say I like it a lot but have had some issues with it as well. Before 60,000kms I replaced 2 shocks, all 4 brakes, trunk door lock, repaired gear shift 3 times, air filter/smell issues, rear camera calibration, and a few other minor issues. I currently have 93,000 kms and have a clause in my financing that I can return it at 4 years (this April) with no strings. I took it on a 6 year. I am afraid for the long-term reliability and if it will cost me money in the long run. Do I keep it and risk having to put money into it or do I give it back now and get something else (i.e. Honda, Hyundai, Ford, etc.)? Thoughts? Thanks!

Hi guys Been a while since I've been on here. Lots of home projects and an incoming baby taking up all my time!! Quick question and sorry if it has been answered before, I searched for it. I have a 2011 Journey CREW with the 8.4" touchscreen. I did not opt to get the GPS as it came in an expensive package and I did not need all the other stuff (including the GPS). WHat I wanted to know is, is there a module or software I can install to have the GPS functionality? I assume all the vehicles are pre-wired? Same question for the u-connect, as it displays the logo on my screen already but I have no bluetooth! Thanks guys D

Well they already started rusting. Should i grease em?

Cool. Thanks guys. Did you do anything to protect the bolt (i.e grease)? Anything to be done for the hole or leave as is?

Hey guys It's my first winter with the truck. I just put my winter rims on and it's the 1st time on any car that I see this, maybe because the rims are hub-centric? The front rims seem to have a "bolt" exposed and the rear ones have a hole all the way through where I can see my disc. - See pics Is this normal or do I need to do something to protect them (i.e. grease the front bolt, cap the rear hole somehow)?

Hey guys sorry if this was already answered. I'm at work and can't search on here too long cause our connection sucks and I'm probably sucking up all the bandwidth. Called a garage for a quote. he quoted me 875 tax in with rims for the Toyo Observe open country. He said the rims are not OEM but there would be no issue to install them. He had done so on another journey this week. Think it'll be ok? Thanks D

So I went to the dealership last Friday. Obviously the brakes didn't squeal while I was there so they couldn't diagnose the problem properly. The one thing they did was sand the pads and lubrify the calipers. So far so good. No squealing since. Will it last though...I'll keep you posted!

8.8? Wow that's great! Best I got was 8.9 but that didn't last the whole trip to Boston from Montreal.

Going to dealer Friday at 9am. I'll let you guys know what they say...

Yep. here's a great write-up on it

it's also on by default

I find that thing makes no sense. Depending how you drive, it changes. At some point I had 100kms left and after a minute or two I had 80-something! Plus that low-fuel vs showing actual DTE sucks!

I'm in Canada and I have a 2011 Crew and although I ordered the upgraded sound system, it was no longer available as the Crew models were in short supply (due to the screen being on backorder). I haven't heard the upgraded system but I'm pretty damn happy with the stock system. Maybe after I heard the better one I'd think differently, but I love it. Sounds awesome when you watch movies too!

They told me the same thing, but this used to be available in prior models, but discontinued for 2011. Quite the shock when I was looking for it and I didn't see a hard-drive in the Sources!! You can watch DVDs no problem as long as you're in park

Good call. Mine is FWD..

Sweet! It almost makes you want to go on road trips! Let us know how it goes when you get back!

I have 5300kms or so and since day one it has ranged between 11.5 - 12.5 city/highway, hitting 10.5 when its mostly highway. I think I hi 13 - 13.3 a few times when it was almost all city + traffic but never above 13.5

Just got back from my long weekend road trip. I must say, the truck was AMAZING! I made it from Montreal to Boston on one tank and still had gas to spare for a few days of driving there (about 600-some kms). I only filled up right before we left to come back home. The ride was very smooth, quiet. Handled great on the highway. All in all I am very pleased. Did 120kms/hr almost the entire way. Best part of all, See pic :banvictory:

It happens in every mode!! USB and DVD too. I just disable alerts while watching a movie then re-enable them when I'm done.
