I was just wondering as I’ve seen most have the hard button at the bottom of the climate controls but I’ve noticed being in some of them they don’t have it. Do all RT durangos not come with it?
Sport mode not on all RTs?

I have a standard R/T (2021) and it has the sport mode button.
I don't think it was standard until 2016. My 15 does not have it.
I thought something similar but I’ve seen 16-17 without some of the physical buttons I just wasn’t sure if it was somewhere in the uconnect on some or not.
It’s just weird to me I’ve been searching to buy one and some of them don’t have the physical sport button which was surprising to me
Brilliant! Just a quick survey on CarMax (lots of models from various years) shows the Sport button showing up on every 2016+ R/T, and doesn't appear at all before that.
Edit: Question is, what does it DO? Opposite of ECON button? Throttle and shift point remapping I'd assume?
Yeah you’re right. I looked more closely at the years I was looking at and realized that so I apologize to who said it above and I didn’t think it was right lol. What I read is what you said basically more responsive steering (tighter) pedal is more responsive with less effort and suspension adjusts itself as well.
SPORT MODE — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle is equipped with a SPORT Mode feature. The engine, transmission, and steering systems are all set to their SPORT settings. SPORT Mode will provide improved throttle response and modified transmission shift points for an enhanced driving experience, as well as greater amount of steering feel. This mode may be activated and deactivated by pushing the SPORT button on the instrument panel switch bank
I don’t have a tow n go and I have the hard sport mode button
Should also engage a sport traction control as well.
I dont think any of them had it until the 8 speed became standard across the V8 and V6 lines . ..Pretty sure the V6's got them when they went to the 850RE transmission and the stop/start garbage which was 2016 . Not sure about the V8 . All Durangos whether V6 or V8 have it now .
Yeah not a fan of the electric steering, hopefully it makes up for it by being reliable .
