Finding the right Dodge Durango phone mount comes down to one decision: build a mount around your dash, or clip something onto the vent and call it done. The Durango’s chunky center stack and deep dashboard shelf make it a good candidate for a direct-fit mount, but a solid universal option still gets the job done if you’d rather not commit to a vehicle-specific bracket. Below we cover both routes, including two mounts built specifically for the Durango’s dash layout and two universal picks that work regardless of trim or model year.
The Durango has gone through a couple of dashboard redesigns over the years, so mount compatibility depends heavily on generation. The center console shape changed enough between the 2014 to 2020 models and the 2021-and-up refresh that a direct-fit mount built for one won’t clamp onto the other. We’ve split our custom picks accordingly, and included universal options for anyone driving an older Durango or who just wants flexibility if they trade vehicles down the road.
| Mount | Best For | Years/Trim |
|---|---|---|
| Black Horse USA Center Console Mount | Wireless charging without giving up dash space | 2021 to 2025 Durango |
| Course Motorsports Direct Fit Mount | MagSafe owners who want a factory-look install | 2014 to 2020 Durango |
| iOttie Easy One Touch 6 Advanced | Renters, older trims, or anyone who wants dash or windshield flexibility | All Durango model years |
| THREEKEY Magnetic Vent Charger | Fast wireless charging on a budget vent mount | All Durango model years |
Custom Dodge Durango Phone Mounts
A direct-fit mount clamps onto the Durango’s own console or trim panel instead of relying on suction or a vent clip, which means less wobble and a cleaner look. The tradeoff is that these mounts are generation-specific, so double-check your model year before ordering.
Black Horse USA Phone Mount for 2021 to 2025 Durango
This mount clamps directly onto the center console of the 2021 and newer Durango, which puts the phone right at eye level without blocking the climate controls or shifter. It ships with multiple attachment heads, including a magnetic plate, a cradle-style holder, and a 15-watt wireless charging cradle, so you can pick whichever style matches how you actually use your phone. Because it mounts to the console rather than the dash or vent, there’s no adhesive or suction cup involved, which means a more stable hold on rough roads.
Tip: If you’re already running a MagSafe case, the magnetic attachment head on this mount skips the need for a separate metal ring or adapter plate.
Course Motorsports Direct Fit Mount for 2014 to 2020 Durango
Built specifically for the second-generation facelift Durango, this mount attaches to the dash in a spot that Course Motorsports engineered to match the factory trim lines, so it reads as an OEM accessory rather than an aftermarket add-on. It uses a MagSafe-compatible magnetic head, though it also works fine with a standard metal plate for non-MagSafe phones. Owners of older Durangos often struggle to find a mount that doesn’t block a vent or sit awkwardly on the dash curve, and this is one of the few options built around that specific console shape.
Universal Phone Mounts That Fit Any Durango
If you don’t want a mount tied to a specific console shape, or you’re planning to move the mount to a different vehicle eventually, a universal suction or vent mount is the simpler route. Both of the following work across every Durango generation.
iOttie Easy One Touch 6 Advanced
This suction mount attaches to either the windshield or the dashboard, which gives you flexibility on placement that a console-specific mount doesn’t offer. The one-touch cradle opens and closes around the phone automatically, so mounting and removing it is a one-handed motion. The telescopic arm extends enough to clear the Durango’s deep dash and put the phone at a usable angle regardless of where you’re sitting. It’s a solid pick if you’re driving an older Durango that neither of the direct-fit mounts above supports, or if you just prefer not to commit to a permanent clamp.
THREEKEY Magnetic Vent Charger with Cooling Fan
This kit includes both a vent clip and a 3M adhesive dashboard mount, so you can decide which placement suits the Durango’s interior better and swap between them without buying a second unit. It charges at 25 watts through Qi2, and a built-in fan keeps the phone from overheating during longer stretches of wireless charging, which matters on road trips where the phone is also running navigation. The magnetic hold is rated well above what’s needed for daily driving, and the kit comes with a 65-watt charger and cable, so there’s nothing extra to buy.
Warning: Vent clips work best on rectangular vent blades. If your Durango trim has round vents, use the 3M dashboard mount included in the kit instead.
Choosing Between a Custom and Universal Mount
The Durango’s size works in your favor here. As a three-row SUV, the dash and console are wider and deeper than what you’ll find in a compact crossover, which gives console-mounted options like the Black Horse USA and Course Motorsports mounts more surface area to grip. If your Durango falls into one of the two supported year ranges, a direct-fit mount is going to feel more integrated and hold steadier over rough terrain than a suction cup ever will.
That said, universal mounts aren’t a compromise so much as a different tradeoff. They install in minutes, move between vehicles, and don’t lock you into a specific bracket if you upgrade phones or trade the Durango in a few years from now. Families running road trips with kids in the third row also tend to prefer the flexibility of a vent or dash mount they can reposition on the fly.
Whichever direction you go, skip anything sold as a bare arm or clamp with no cradle attached. A complete mounting kit, cradle included, is the only way to guarantee the phone is actually secured rather than just propped in place.
Wireless Charging in the Durango
A growing share of Durango phone mounts, including both console-mount options above, now build in wireless charging rather than treating it as a separate accessory. That’s worth factoring into your decision even if charging speed isn’t your top priority, since running a charging cable to a console-mounted phone holder is awkward compared to routing it to a vent or dash mount closer to the console’s own USB ports. The Durango’s center console typically places a USB-C port within easy reach of either console mount listed here, which makes wiring a cleaner job than it would be in vehicles where the ports sit buried in a lower console bin.
If you’re going with a magnetic wireless mount, pay attention to charging wattage only if your phone actually supports the faster standard. A 25-watt Qi2 mount charging a phone that maxes out at 15 watts isn’t doing anything extra, though it won’t hurt anything either. What matters more in daily use is whether the mount includes active cooling, since a phone running navigation and wireless charging at the same time generates enough heat to throttle charging speed on mounts without a fan.
Installation Notes for the Durango Dash
Both console-mount options above install without drilling or permanent modification, since they clamp onto existing trim rather than requiring new hardware. That said, give the mount a few minutes to settle before loading it with a phone and cable, particularly on the console-clamp style mounts, since the clamping mechanism can shift slightly during the first few uses as it seats against the trim. Suction-based mounts like the iOttie need a clean, dust-free spot on the glass or dash plastic to hold long-term. Wipe the mounting surface with a plain cloth before the first install rather than glass cleaner, since some cleaning products leave a residue that weakens suction over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do 2014 to 2020 and 2021-plus Durango models use the same phone mount?
No. The console and dash trim changed enough between the two generations that a mount built for one won’t clamp onto the other. Check your model year against the mount before ordering, or use one of the universal options if you’re not sure.
Will a MagSafe mount work if my phone doesn’t have MagSafe?
Most MagSafe-compatible mounts also work with a thin metal ring or plate applied to a non-MagSafe phone or case, though check the specific listing to confirm one is included.
Is a vent clip strong enough for a three-row SUV like the Durango?
Yes, provided the vent clip is rated for the phone’s weight and the vent blades are rectangular rather than round. If your Durango has round vents, a dashboard or console mount is the better fit.
