The Dodge Durango SRT's Main Change For 2020 Is...Racing Stripes
Dodge clearly doesn’t think a whole lot needs to be changed on its Durango SRT. We get why - what’s not to love about a three-row SUV with a 469bhp N/A V8 and a 0-60mph time of 4.4 seconds?
And what Dodge has added makes us want one even more. The main change for 2020 is - tapping into our childish side - big racing stripes. Hell to the yes.
The ‘Redline’ option features two satin black centre stripe with Redline Red ‘tracers’ running along the edges. The stripes are yours for $1295 and can be paired with 10 different exterior paint colours including Billet Silver, Octane Red, Reactor Blue, and the rather brilliantly named Destroyer Grey.
Also joining the options list is the Black package, which does what it says on the tin. It adds various badges in Midnight Grey, 20-inch Matte Vapor wheels, black tinted exhaust tips and gloss black mirror caps. The pack is $1495 and can be paired with the same 10 colours as Redline.
A Dodge Durango SRT with both the Black pack and the Redline Stripe will be showcased at the Chicago Auto Show next month. Dodge says dealer orders will open the month after.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

This is a $200-$300 vinyl at any shop, atrociously priced for $1,300
What’s not to like you say?
That it’s a stupid suv, that it can’t take corners, the cheap interior, the unreliable components, it’s also worse in every way to a raised kombi with the same drivetrain(imagine a V8 Passat Alltrack or Skoda Scout)
Why would it be reliable? Its been in production since 2010. That’d be like calling a 2010 Lada Riva unreliable after being made (and updated) for 30 years straight.
The Durango is not an SUV, it’s a minivan without sliding doors. Same with the Ford Flex.
