4.7/5 rating on the App Store | Trusted by 5+ million customers and 7 million cars 4.7/5 app rating | Trusted by 5M+ drivers Pick your jaw up off the floor, because it’s time to talk packages. Dodge has us spoiled for choice with 24 different equipment groups, but you can't have them all.
For example, the Cold Weather Group ($695 for a heated steering wheel and seats) is only available for the SXT
, GT
, and R/T
. On the other hand, R/T trims and higher get the option to remove their second-row seats and replace them with a cargo net and front floor mats. There are only three packages that you’ll find at every trim level without exception:
Technology ($495): Rain-sensing windshield wipers, automatic high beams, forward-collision warning, and adaptive cruise control
(the last two only available with automatic transmissions and not included in the SRT Hellcat
or higher) Driver Convenience ($1,295): HID headlights
, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alerts, and power-folding mirrors; fog lamps, ParkSense Rear Park Assist System, remote start, and universal garage door opener (SXT); Rhombi headlamps (R/T) Plus ($3,095; requires Driver Convenience package): A little bit of everything—comfort, convenience, performance, and technology—which changes at every trim level
Whew, did you get all that? Seven trims, two drivetrains, three transmissions, and 24 packages create a total of 100 differing configurations—and that’s assuming just one package per car. In reality, there are probably over 300 ways to equip a 2021 Dodge Challenger.
So, are you ready to build yours? Let's get started!
