I have a Loaded 2018 R/T that I am generally happy and starting to think about a replacement for. When it comes to another Durango, I put the Tow and Go as a must have option to stay in a Durango. My god though, I priced one yesterday and the R/T Plus with T&G gets up towards $70k MSRP faster than a non-SRT has any business getting to. I get it, supply chain, low inventory, but this thing is basically unchanged in many, many years. I see some dealers have a bunch of different rebates but I would be interested to hear what T&G are actually transacting at right now. Thanks. Also considering a bunch of others that aren't always a direct competitor such as Grand Cherokee L, Explorer ST, and Outer Banks Bronco.

What is everyone currently paying? MSRP has crept up more than I thought.
I Just looked up my r/t build from 2021 with Town N Go Then I went on the web site and built it and the difference was only $1,638.00. But it didn't allow me to pick red brembo or Harmon kardon those were 395 and 1,065.00. So if those items were available it looks like a price increase is just over 5% . Its the package options that are inflating the price and if you shop around and can travel to pick it up there is plenty of info posted of what dealers give the best deals and you should hopefully get 5% less . The real increase is if you finance vs. paying cash the banks make the money on interest

Dealers in NJ are slow (if at all) in discounting anything but they are again back to klling you on a trade in.
Find a dealer that's not going to charge you over MSRP. I ordered a '23 Hemi Orange R/T with the Tow-N-Go in late October and it's $62k... that's before regional discounts, and the dealer already told me they'd discount it further. This is in a Philadelphia sales zone, so not far from you. Maybe consider dropping the "Plus" part of the package if you need to get your number down by a fair amount.
If you can find a T&G on a dealer lot, consider yourself lucky. Most dealers will not carry them, as it is another "special" option, and well worth it. Expect to have them order one, which is good because you can configure it with what you want, but expect to pay MSRP or better. 2022 orders are closed. 2023 orders are availabe, but expect 4 to 6 months before delivery.
For a vehicle to be in production for 8 + years with literally minimal changes, this is all a money grab for Dodge. I would bet a 68k R/T TnG cost Dodge 35k to build and ship.
Seems auto manufacturers love that 100 percent markup.

You have a lot of 'personal preference' in there, and that's to each individual. I was sort of in the same 'boat' when ordering my 22 TnG... But for me, the $4,500 or so for the 'Plus' and $1,700 for the 'Blacktop' I could easily do without, that was 6k+ eliminated for me and I found a dealer that I could order under MSRP.
This whole E thing is totlay crap and mroe of a money grab by dealers.
Thereis a Ford dealer selling a lightning F150 with a 20k Markup. WTF

A few months ago I purchased my '22 TNG for about $6k under msrp in Minnesota. But it looks like R/T inventory has gone down since then and I don't see those deals now. I bought the TNG because of the combination of 3 row seating, V8 power, towing, and driving experience that you can't get with any other vehicle at this price point. Are current prices a money grab? It's supply and demand. There will be money on the hood this winter and moving forward if buyers dry up.
Or just add brembos to your R/T and keep it moving. There is no performance gains between the two. I have a loaded 2018 complete with rear captain chairs and DVD. I added brembos and its practically the same car without all the markup. Yes I don't have the updated front end but I don't care for the new front end. I do like the new radio and interior layout but the radios have been problematic. So aside from the suspension and a few other changes I can't justify getting a tow n go and losing features as rear DVD is no longer offered and paying almost $70k.
Purchased my 2021 T&G in February. Was 1 of 2 on Long Island at the time. Black wasn’t my first choice, but I’m glad it had the black Brembo instead of red, but that package was a no brainer for what it added, even though I have no intention of trailering anything. I wish the rims were more black than charcoal. Dealer wanted $20K over sticker, but got them down to $5K since I knew the accountant for the dealer. Traded a 2018 Chrysler 300 Limited. Financed the whole thing 0% 72 months got an 8 year extended Mopar warranty.

I know most members are V8 or SRT...and I don't blame one person for making that decision. I had a 2018 Charger Scat Pack that I regret letting go of every day! However, when I picked up my 2021 DD, I was looking at an RT TNG...but I just couldn't justify the $18k in additional cost for (basically) 75HP and more towing capacity considering I don't tow anything that heavy with the DD (have a RAM 2500). The other consideration was at the time (Oct 2021) gas prices were out of control and I now do a fair bit of highway mileage. The DD is a great SUV no matter which trim you pick (this is my 2nd one). If you have a particular set up that is exactly what you want...the choices are to grind it out to find the best deal you can or wait to see if prices come down...or maybe find a good pre-owned to save some cash. I do agree though...that it's not cool to pay over MSRP on a vehicle. They know that figure is high when they set it. Just 2 pennies from the peanut gallery. Lol.
Great discussion!

2023 TNG are $9k off sticker at Jeff Belzers in Minnesota. They've been around the same OTD price since last fall.
I have nothing to do with this dealership other than I test drove this Durango yesterday. It's an R/T, but does not have TnG. Yesterday, they were taking about $7k off of MSRP. Today, they are advertising over $10k off MSRP. I think they've had it a while and they want to move it off of their lot. It looks nice in Octane Red.

Of the two Durango R/Ts at this dealership, the base price before options is $555 different. So, there's been a price increase during the model year.

Beware that it might change when it hits the dealer. Many won't honor what they tell you when you order if things change by the time it arrives.
in NJ they are still tacking on $$$ to everything!
If I could get 9k or 10k off sticker I would get an SRT.

All leasing residuals have gone sky high due to the high value of used cars. It makes zero sense to lease.
