Dodge Blackens Its Minivan and Crossovers with Blacktop Packages [2013 Detroit Auto Show]
By Erik Johnson
How many of us dads have had this thought: Y’know, my neck tattoo, flat-brimmed hat, and sweet chinstrap beard tell the world I’m a total bad-ass when I’m in the mall pushing a stroller, but what about when I’m on the highway? How do I let people know that, yeah, I may have kids and I may drive a responsible family vehicle with seating for up to seven, but I still have it on lockdown? We’re in luck: Dodge has announced that it will offer “sinister” Blacktop option packages for the Grand Caravan, Journey, and Durango. (Of course, there’s also the Town & Country S. Chrysler as a whole is pretty obsessed with black.)
The Dodge Durango can be blackened for just $295, which adds a glossy black grille and black 20-inch wheels to Rallye and R/T models. (The Rallye package itself is a $1995 option for SXT models.) The interior of the former, with its 295-horse 3.6-liter V-6, can be upfitted to R/T spec with suede seat inserts, red accent stitching, black wood trim, and a power driver’s seat with power lumbar support—carrying around those cojones is hell on the lower back—for an additional $595. The R/T, of course, features a 360-hp Hemi V-8. Available colors are white, black, silver, gray, and red.
The Dodge Journey Blacktop edition can be ordered with five- or seven-passenger seating, a choice of the 173-hp four-cylinder base engine or the 283-hp Pentastar V-6, and front- or all-wheel drive. Exterior colors include two whites, two reds, gray, silver, and black. Nineteen-inch black wheels and an 8.4-inch infotainment touch screen are fitted, while the grille, front fascia trim, headlamp surrounds, and mirror caps are black. The kit costs $995.

- Instrumented Test: 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan R/T
Finally, the Grand Caravan—albeit only the SXT trim—can be fitted with Blacktop stuff for $595. It includes 17-inch aluminum rollers with black-painted pockets, a black grille, black headlamp bezels, and a set of fog lamps. Darkness reigns inside: The seats, headliner, center console, and door panels are black, and silver stitching is applied throughout. The exterior color palette is essentially the same as with the other two models.
These people haulers join the pavement-themed Charger, Challenger, and Avenger already available, and Dodge says this completes the Blacktop lineup, so don’t expect a Dart. Unless you pour asphalt on yours. Which would be just like a bad-ass.

Official: Dodge whips covers off 2013 Blacktop series
Filed under: Detroit Auto Show, Coupe, Minivan/Van, Sedan, SUV, Crossover, Dodge, Design/Style
Dodge introduced us to its Blacktop model lineup a year ago with the 2012 Charger and followed up with more recently with the 2013 Challenger and 2013 Avenger. Now the automaker will be applying this ominous-looking treatment to the Durango, Grand Caravan and Journey models for 2013 as well. These models will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show, but Dodge has released most of the details for these new products including pricing and availability.
If the Grand Caravan R/T (aka, the Man Van) wasn’t aggressive enough for you or its $30,000 starting price was a little too pricey, then the 2013 Grand Caravan Blacktop could be the ticket. Starting with the SXT trim level (which stickers at $19,995), the Blacktop package costs only $595, and adds unique features such as blacked-out headlights, grille and fog lights bezels and an all-black interior. The van rides on black-accented, 17-inch aluminum wheels. The Grand Caravan Blacktop is only available in monochromatic paint schemes limited to Billet Silver, Brilliant Black, Maximum Steel, Redline Red and Stone White
Likewise, the 2013 Journey Blacktop is offered only on the SXT model (starting at $18,995) with all of the crossover’s normal options such as four- and six-cylinder engines, five- or seven-passenger seating and front- or all-wheel drive. The Blacktop package adds $995 to the Journey SXT‘s price and features many of the same black accents as the Grand Caravan like the headlights, grille, door mirrors and lower fascia. Exterior colors are limited to Bright Silver, Bright Red, Brilliant Black, Brilliant Red Tri-Coat, White, Pearl White Tri-Coat and Storm Grey, and the package’s 19-inch wheels come in Gloss Black. Inside, the Journey Blacktop comes standard with black cloth seats and Chrysler’s 8.4-inch Uconnect touch screen, but black leather is also available as an option.
Finally, the 2013 Durango Blacktop is offered on both the Rallye and R/T trim levels starting at just $295. For this price, customers will get similar black exterior accents as the other two models and standard 20-inch black wheels. The Durango R/T already has a pretty sporty interior so this is left alone, but if Durango Rallye buyers are looking for an upgraded interior, a $595 Blacktop option will equip the cabins with leather seats that have suede inserts, black wood trim and a 12-way drivers seat with lumbar adjustments. The Durango Blacktop colors are limited to Bright White, Brilliant Black, Granite Crystal, Billet Silver and Redline Red.

Official: Dodge announces Sport package for AWD Charger
Filed under: Sedan, Performance, Chrysler, Dodge
We normally think of the Dodge Charger (and its Chrysler 300 brethren) as being rear-wheel-drive muscle sedans, but we mustn’t forget about the fact that all-wheel drive is available as well. And in an effort to give the AWD models a bit more presence, the all-season Dodge sedan will be getting a new sport package for the 2013 model year.
The AWD Sport pack – available on SXT, SXT Plus, R/T and R/T Plus trims – gets you a raft of visual upgrades including a gloss black grille, unique 19-inch wheels and a body-color rear spoiler. Inside, the package adds paddle shifters and sport seats in either cloth or leather, depending on trim.
This Sport pack retails for $1,395 on SXT models with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, and $1,195 on R/T cars with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 engine. As part of the new package, the eight-speed automatic transmission also receives a more aggressive sport setting.
Interested customers can order their cars now, with production spanning from December until February. See the new Sport model for yourself in the gallery above (and yes, we’ve asked Chrysler to pass along some photos that have the whole car in the frame), and scroll down to read the full press blast.
