Dodge Expands Blacktop Package to Durango, Grand Caravan and Journey

What began as an option package for the 2012 Challenger before it was made more available to the 2013 Avenger, Charger R/T and Challenger R/T models, is now being expanded to the rest of Dodge's range sans the Dart sedan.

Dodge Expands Blacktop Package

We’re talking about Dodge's Blacktop Package treatment that is now offered on the 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan minivan, Durango seven-seat SUV and Journey mid-size crossover, all of which will be on display at the Detroit Auto Show next week.

"Our Blacktop packages have been so well received on Charger, Challenger and Avenger that we’re expanding it to our innovative Grand Caravan, Journey and Durango," commented Dodge boss Reid Bigland. "All three of these Blacktop vehicles offer class-leading attributes with seating for up to seven and a customized one-of-a-kind appearance package starting at just $295 MSRP."

Beginning with the Grand Caravan that will arrive in the second quarter of the year, the Blacktop Package is priced at $595. It is available on the SXT models adding 17-inch rims, a gloss black grille, black headlamp bezels and fog lamps on the outside, plus an all-black interior, including the headliner, silver accent stitching for the upholstery, and leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob.

Next up is the Durango SUV. Available from the first quarter of the year as a $295 option on the Rallye and R/T models, the Blacktop treatment adds a gloss black crosshair grille and 20-inch aluminum wheels with gloss black center caps.

Finally, the Journey Crossover Blacktop will reach showrooms in the second quarter of the year with a $995 premium over the regular SXT, which Dodge says, represents savings of $400. Exterior appointments include gloss black 19-inch alloy wheels, grille, bezel headlamps, lower front fascia accent and exterior mirrors.

Inside, Journey SXT Blacktop models come with black cloth seats or optionally available black leather heated seats with heated steering wheel, and a standard 8.4-inch Uconnect touch screen.
