This is why you should buy used with all the options you want instead of paying retail for what you don't want.

Isn't the Traverse a FWD based platform? I'd have a hard time believing it has the tow rating of a Durango with the oem tow group. I get what you mean about options. It has always frustrated me that you can't get all the options a-la-cart. I am not a sun/moon roof guy, yet many manufacturers tie them in with leather, a bigger engine, etc.

While I admit the base Durangos are pretty sparsely equipped, they are priced accordingly. As for towing, I'll say this: Bring your 5000 lb MAX towing Traverse over, and I'll drag it all over my neighborhood with my Durango. These are simply NOT comparable vehicles. LOL
the one i had was the awd premier with redline package , tow rating was at 5,000lbs i 'm never going to pull anything i just needed the hitch for bicycle rack or storage rack so i had to purchase one ....
Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Receiver Hitch - 2021 Dodge Durango installed it myself PRETTY EASY . THIER PRICES KEEP GOING UP I GUESS DUE TO DEMAND I PURCHASED IT AT $215.00 SHIPPED TO MY HOUSE . FIT FLAWLESSLY ON MY 2021 DURANGO GT WITH 18" SPARE TIRE.
I DONT NEED IT FOR TOWING just for bike rack and or storage rack
the citadel doesnt offer performance hood you need the performance hood to get that mean look on the durango!

What options did you get? I just bought a 21 RT RWD without tow but with most other options for 43k. If I wanted AWD I could of got a Tow N Go for 52k that was sitting next to mine.

The good thing is you don't have to pay MSRP for it so it ends up being an ok deal with the add ons if you search for it.
Yeah, but at the end of the day, it's a Chevy...

Yup. I’d have buyers remorse too if I paid 51k for a V6, even if it had every available option.

Idk man, comparing a Traverse to an R/T of anything Dodge shouldn’t really be considered the same category (IMO). And Im saying that simply because of the performance aspect. If you’re looking for performance SUVs WITH options, I think Durangos are the way to go. I think you got screwed with the dealership pricing. The price you spent for a GT is almost identical to what I spent on the ‘21 AWD RT with every option EXCEPT blindspot monitoring and adaptive cruise control.

Agreed with the a la carte, but even Ford and GM do the same thing with all the packages.........
personally I could do without all the luxury of my '21 RT napa, 2nd cap chairs, tech, class 4, loaded, its nice though don't get me wrong, I came from a 05 F350 dually Lariat which at its time was the height of loaded as well, but nothing like the rango.
If I had my way, my rango would be a RT, no la de da interior fashion, no tech, no blind spot, no auto braking, no lane departure, class 4, remove the rear seats and the best stereo.........I use mine for towing and throwing wood/metal/projects in the back, need the power to tow 5-8k weekly. But to order just that I'd be opting for a whole bunch of packages and waiting months for it to arrive, on top of that you get more discounts when you buy all the options and packages. I would have actually paid more for custom ordering a base stripped down towing vehicle than getting the loaded luxury RT.

Best line of the day, thanks for the laugh! and thats coming from a guy who's got two GM based tattoos, I wouldn't touch anything GM since the mid 2000's, except maybe a Vette. Last newer GM car I'll ever have is my 07 LS powered Sky
