More 2018 R/T Pics

NCGermerican · Sep 25, 2017

My wife and I went to a local car cruise-in this weekend. She was VERY excited to be able to drive her new Durango. It was a relatively small (about 50 cars) event but 80% were MOPARS. When we parked our cars the people immediately came over to ask about the Durango. Nobody seemed to care about my Scat Pack.

There was one guy who drove his 2017 DD that he just bought 3 DAYS earlier (traded in a Challenger Hellcat for it). He had no idea the 2018's had the new front and hood. We literally just got out of our cars - he came up and said "Awesome - you can get Hellcat style hoods for Durangos?" I filled him in on the changes for 2018 and he was sick to his stomach. I'll post some pics in the next post through Tapatalk since that's the only way I know how to do it. Here are the details:

2018 Durango R/T AWD
White Knuckle
Black Leather
Blacktop Pkg
Sunroof
Captain's Chairs
Tow Pkg

Mods
Gibson Axle-back
Luxe Auto Tail Light Tint
345 Fender Badges
35% Driver/Pssgr Tint

Yeah I wanna see that to. I'm wondering if they still use that stupid Resonator intake tube.

mantis · Sep 28, 2017

Curious but I think I already know the answer, did the 345 badges on the side come factory? Or did you get them and put them on yourself?

mantis · Sep 28, 2017

Nevermind, just read your signature,I see you put them on yourself. I really like them.

I love the new grill. I like the cross hair on my 15DD, but the '18 grill looks sleek and sportier.

Yep- bought them on Amazon and installed myself. I spent quite a bit of time making sure the placement was exactly where Dodge put them on the SRT.

I'll try to take a pic and post this morning. My wife is actually allowing us to swap cars today so I'm taking the Durango to work. Just like how she allows me to make the payments every month........

Thanks for the picture!!!

Is the drivers side heat extractor directly or the air box? Also can you tell if the lead edge inlet is a dummy or does it dump on the back side someplace?

I'll have to take a look after work, but going off of memory, I'm pretty sure the drivers side is a little in front of the air box and the lead edge inlet is right in front of the throttle body.

So they did end up placing a black cover or splash shield over the PCM. We saw that in the photos from the early test models on the SRT. Cleans up that area, but that is the spot used to mount many aftermarket catch can brackets. Thanks for photo.

That should be an easy retro fit. I think I'll have to add that to the list as it does look way cleaner and should be pretty cheap.

I think they added that to protect from water because the hood vent is directly above it.
