Finally got our ‘21 TnG White knuckle blacktop!! pics sooon I promise!

Let me begin by saying I drive a ‘15 wrx sti as my daily, erm...maybe used to....because HOLY BAWLS this TnG setup is simply unreal, sport mode...that exhaust..WOW.

I will eventually say much more about it when I upload some pics and videos, I promise! However for now I’m curious if anyone has had liftgate alignment issues? Ours seems to be aligned on one side but a little too far in on one side. anyone see this yet?

anyways! other than the misaligned hatch this thing looks and drives absolutely amazing, our last DD was a ‘11 citadel, boy have these come so far in a decade.

Our 2018 citadel has slight misalignment on the lift gate. It’s smaller gap all down driver side and larger gap on pass side. It doesn’t run anywhere so I haven’t tried to change it or anything. I notice it. Not sure anyone else would, unless I told them.

it’s like it’s pulling the right side in tighter, the brake lights and racetracks don’t line up on that side but the left side they do, but the rest of the liftgate side to side and up and down look bang on. thinking it’s the latch hook not in the right spot..it looks like it’s off center to the left...imma go adjust it lol

Picked it up last night! It was worth the wait. Coming from a 2018 R/T, the Tow n Go gave me everything I wanted in the old one and more! And man the exhaust sounds awesome, the cold start this morning was vicious!

just ordered my TnG in the same color. I have a few months before being built so I had a couple of questions. I am military stationed overseas so I have nothing I can see in person. The red caliper option does that change the type of brakes or is it just a different color caliper? Same six piston brembo brake? Also the wheels that are not part of the blacktop package are they a chrome or a more of a gunmetal. Is there anything you wish you would of ordered or glad you didn't? Sorry for the long reply.

Color option doesn’t change the brakes, only the color of the caliper

Thought i read that the red calipers have the SRT pads while the blacks have a different pad.

2021 RT Blacktop w/Black Brembo brakes

Something new?

Just read Dodge’s media postings:

Four-wheel disc antilock Brembo six-piston performance brakes with black calipers are standard on the R/T with Tow N Go; SRT-engineered Brembo brakes with red calipers and upgraded brake pads for improved performance are optional. The SRT Brembo brakes on the R/T Tow N Go feature a power four-wheel disc brake system with 15-inch vented and slotted front rotors with six-piston Brembo calipers and 13.8-inch vented rear rotors with four-piston fixed Brembo calipers.

it was the latch hook! moving it rear and to the right has almost fixed the difference, just need to fine tune it a bit.

other than the misaligned hatch really my only complaint is the carplay audio stuttering and hey siri works when it decides to. hopefully they fix uconnect

Congratulations!!

If you don't mind me asking, when did you order and when did you pick it up? Where about in Canada are you located?

A big "THANK YOU" to the members / contributors to this forum! It provided hours of good reading and helped me decide to buy a 2021 Durango R/T with the Tow & Go package. My wife's Honda Pilot took a **it after 80,000 miles (almost killed me while driving) and we narrowed the new vehicle search down to the Durango R/T vs Toyota 4 Runner. After driving both it was an easy decision. The 4 Runners were nice, but the higher towing capacity and overall driving experience led us to the Durango. We ordered March 14th and took delivery last Friday May 14th! The custom exhaust sounds amazing and I find myself starting it often just to hear the rumble. Here's the stats and out the door price for anyone looking in the Seattle area: Destroyer Grey, Tow & Go Package, Blacktop Package, Harmon Karmon Sound Updgrade, Cross Path Detection, and Black Leather Bucket Seats out the door for $57K. Thanks again! Here's a few pictures with one in the sun and two in the shade.

Congratulations on your new ride. That's nearly the same exterior specs we are getting. You have one of the quickest order-deliver timelines I've seen. We ordered a vehicle that was already Status D on March 29. We made some changes to the order, which may have set us back a bit, but we have confirmation on a June 8 start build date. So, we'll see when we actually get delivery.

It looks great! 👍

Yes, it sounds like I got lucky as the dealer told me new orders are taking 4-5 months now. Congrats on the package you are getting. You are going to love it once it finally arrives!

Placed my order on 6/1! Lets see how long it takes. I am in Florida. 2021 TnG in F8 Green, Black Leather option, Blind Spot, and Harmon/Kardon(although reading through here I may be regretting that option.). Kept it simple, itll be the wifes daily(she works from home so more like mommy mobile) and my Tow rig whenever my Extended Cab Cummins is maxed out passenger wise lol. Cant wait!

Good on ya! Very exciting. For me, since our 12-15-21 delivery of the 21 T&G, my wife and I enjoy it. More importantly, the 2, 7, 8, and 10 y/o grandkids give a "thumbs-up" to the "H/K" sound over that of the "Beats Audio" that we all experienced in our 2018 RT. Seriously, with the range of music interests fire-hosed through the HK system from ApplePlay, SiriusXM, multiple connected kid devices, the H/K has been worth it. However, while I optioned everything on the 21 T&G save for blu-ray headrests, my "value" concepts are my own. I never tell (except for immediate family 😂) what to get and how much to spend. Here's to a quality product delivered to you and wife as quick as possible. Cheers.

 

[z28jon]

Thank you! Good to hear others enjoying the HK system. I heard it in my brothers Hellcat Challenger and was blown away so thought I was getting that, but apparently it’s a completely different system so I guess I’ll see. Worse case I change the sub I guess no biggie.

I thought I would post our experience in purchasing a DD. TL;DR: We have a VIN on a to be built RT TNG in Destroyer Grey, Blacktop and Vitra with blind spot and technology.

After lurking around here in Jan and Feb, we spent most of March looking for a Durango. It will be a tow vehicle, so we were specifically looking for first: Tow-N-Go first and second: Tow Group IV. We were having a really hard time finding any dealerships with the options we wanted and the dealers couldn't build anything with the blind spot monitoring. Chip shortages. If we did find blind spot at a dealership already, it wasn't Tow-N-Go. We test drove one Tow-N-Go and loved the drive of it. To our butts, it felt very different than an RT.

We were getting very close to settling for something that didn't meet our specs when we found a dealership that had a Durango on order with blind spot and they told us that it received a VIN, THAT DAY (btw, date ordered = Oct 8, 2020). We rushed over and asked if we could change a ton of specs on it (convert it to Tow-N-Go, change the color, interior to Vitra, etc.). They wanted a deposit to ask the plant if they could make the changes, so we obliged. It took two weeks to get confirmation, but we did end up getting confirmation that all of our changes were accepted! Lots of calling and checking, eventually the GM was the one who gave us the good news.

So, now we wait. The dealership asked the plant to prioritize the build (why wouldn't they prioritize a car that's already spoken for?). We're in Canada, so there is no way to track the progress of the build process other than through the dealership. So we'll be making frequent calls to ask for updates. My only concern is the actual availability of the chips and if a blind spot chip was "set aside" for our vehicle since day one.

We're super excited and we're really hoping that since it's "sold", it can be bumped sooner than the current May 24 build start date so we have a chance to tow with it this summer.

UPDATE: The dealership let us know before May 24 that the date was changed to June 8. It flip/flopped between June 8 & 9 every day when I asked for updates. Finally, status changed to G (Trim) on June 9 and then KZ on June 10. Yesterday (June 15) the dealership was updated that the ETA was June 14-18. It was picked up on a truck carrier yesterday at 5:22am and arrived today at our dealership near Toronto. Hopefully this insight helps others who are anxious about the delivery of your new DD.

We can't pick it up until next Tuesday, but I'll post pics when we get it.

So when was your order date and arrival date?

So when was your order date and arrival date?

Order: March 29
Arrival: June 16

It's not that simple though because we bought a car the dealership had ordered in Oct 2020 and we modified a lot of the order AFTER it already had a VIN. It was the only way we could order a new DD with blind spot

I ordered my 21 tow and go, Destroyer Grey, red interior, Harmon, sunroof, Blacktop, blind spot. May 15th order date, got my vin a week later and it's been in D1 since... no ETA or anything. I chat twice a week with dodge and still nothing! My patience is killing me lol how long did you guys have to wait? Let me know start dates and delivery!
