Default How would you spec out an RT?

Hi folks. First post here and i appreciate you taking the time to help. I am about to pull the trigger on a 2013 RT and wanted to make sure i got this right. Here is what the plan is so far...

Exterior Color: Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl Coat Exterior Paint
Interior Color: Black Interior Color

For the Options:

Blacktop Package $295
Leather Interior Group $1295
Entry Navigation / Commuter Group (430N etc etc) $795
Second-Row Fold / Tumble Captain Chairs $795
Power Sunroof $995


Would you guys do anything different? Different NAV? Are there any custom options i should consider wrt wheels and tires?

Thanks for the input.

JD

Welcome.... You have her spec'd out nicely, just build her to suit your needs. I tried both nav units before purchasing and preferred the 730n but both units function well. Good luck in whatever you decide!

Default Great choice!!

I too have the black with all the bells and whistles, slowly doing some minor mods. I bought the 22in Viper Repo's for mine and they really make the truck look completely different, I also order caliper covers, will be here next week. 20% Tint, tinted tails,added a dash cover inside due to the florida heat too, helps allot. Plan on probably getting the mopar intake kit to boost performance and gas a little but also as I was told the mopar kit wont affect warranty too.
Congrats man, here is my ride Black 2012 R/T

Thanks All. Good looking ride there FT06!

When ordering a custom build can you request different tires or is there only one set of rubber available?

I'd go 730n, and the rear seat TV was a must for me.

You might want to consider the trailer hitch. Wish mine had one. I can get it installed at the dealer, but if I had it to do over again......

If you're getting the Captain Chairs 2nd row then I would recommend the middle console. It makes the 2nd row feel much more luxurious. Plus it adds more storage, light up cup holders, and a power USB station.

The little protrusion on the side is an LED light. It's a great place to store your backseat DVD headphones, tablets, etc...

Thanks for the pics. The console is a neat option. I am going to leave that out as the reason for the captains chairs is so that the kids can get back into the third row easily and strap themselves in. Wife just had #4...

Moving from a manual 2011 335i w/ performance package to the Durango. If I have to give up 3 pedals and go for a truck, I at least wanted it to be bad@$$.
