Video games and players connect to twin seat-mounted screens via HDMI or AV plugs. I’m a big fan of the reconfigurable instrument cluster that can display an analog or digital speedometer and baby-simple infotainment system that can be controlled via touchscreen, redundant controls below, or voice. Heated leather seats for the front and middle rows, as well as a heated leather steering wheel, rear climate control, and booming audio system are a start. There’s nothing like black leather to make you feel sexy, especially when cinched with red stitching, but the rest of the interior is high tech and comfy. Look close, or sneak through the night, to see LED running lamps, LED taillamps, and foglamps. What isn’t black is body color for that slammed street rod look.
Trimmed out, it trades chrome for a black grille, emblems, and 20-inch alloys. Let’s just back up from all this practicality for a moment because the Durango Blacktop is one fly ride, as cool as a Challenger shooting brake – if such a thing existed. So, what does a manly man do when he needs to be daddy to his kids? Warm up to the Dodge Durango R/T Blacktop! Or, there’s a long list of flabby-looking crossovers that are perfectly pleasant, but lack swagger. You could go for a full-size, truck-based SUV, but that’s a bit wasteful – especially if you live in the city. There’s just no cool way to rock a mini-van, even if you need three rows of seats for your personal posse.
