Introduced for the 2013 model year on the Dodge Durango, the Blacktop Appearance Package has been made available on the 2014 model as well.

Featuring unique wheels, dual exhaust and Gloss Black accents throughout, the Blacktop package gives the Durango a sportier and more aggressive look.

The package includes 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, and body color fascia and moldings. Additionally, there are also five options for exterior paint colors: Billet Silver, Bright White, Brilliant Black, Granite Crystal and Redline Red. The Blacktop Appearance Package is available on SXT, Limited and R/T models.

On the Durango SXT, the Blacktop package costs $1,590, while owners of Limited models have to pay $1,990 for the same features – however, they also get HID headlamps and LED daytime running lights. Finally, for the range-topping R/T model the Blacktop package costs just $295.

The Dodge Durango SXT Blacktop and Limited Blacktop are powered by the 295hp 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, while the Durango R/T Blacktop gets a 360hp 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine. The 2014 Dodge Durango Blacktop will arrive in dealerships in October.

Besides the Durango, the Blacktop package is offered on seven of its 2014 models, including the Charger, Challenger, Dart, Avenger, Journey and Grand Caravan.
