The 2014 Dodge Durango with the Blacktop Package looks mean. That’s a good thing. They’ve just announced the Durango Blacktop Appearance Package which will be available for Durango SXT, Limited and R/T models. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) will start as low as $295 depending on the model.
This is what you get:
- Gloss Black 20-inch aluminum wheels
- dual rear exhaust with bright tips
- Gloss Black crosshair grille
- Gloss Black side mirrors
- Gloss Black badging
- Black headlamp bezels
- Body color fascia and moldings
“Dodge is rounding out its offering of Blacktop Packages for 2014, adding the three-row Durango to the lineup of Dodge vehicles with the sporty, sinister look. With the addition of Durango, the Dodge brand now offers the Blacktop Appearance Package on seven of its 2014 model year vehicles, including Charger, Challenger, Dart, Avenger, Journey and Grand Caravan.
Building on the Durango’s distinctive, sporty design, along with class-leading power, driving range and towing, the Blacktop Package features unique Gloss Black 20-inch aluminum wheels, dual rear exhaust with bright tips offering 295 horsepower with the V-6 and 360 horsepower with the HEMI V-8, a Gloss Black crosshair grille with matching grille surround, Gloss Black side mirrors, Gloss Black exterior badging, black headlamp bezels, body color fascia and moldings, and five options for exterior paint colors. The Blacktop Appearance Package is available on Durango SXT, Limited and R/T models.” – Fiat Chrysler Automobile
The most notable changes outside appear to be the blacked-out wheels and black grill. It looks custom, almost aftermarket, in a good way. The black headlamp bezels look badass. Look for the 2014 Dodge Durango Blacktop Package option to be available in October of 2014.
“The rear-wheel-drive based Dodge Durango is already one of a kind. It stands out as the Charger of the three-row SUV segment,” said Tim Kuniskis, President and CEO, Dodge Brand and SRT Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. “Now with Blacktop Package, customers can make it even more unique, and it’s customized by the factory.”
