New for 2016, the Brass Monkey appearance package is available on the Durango Limited model.

The Citadel's Anodized Platinum appearance package has a U.S. MSRP of $1,095.
"The Dodge Durango is the Charger of the full-size SUV segment; there's not another seven-passenger, rear-wheel-drive based SUV like it on the road," said Tim Kuniskis, Head of Passenger Car Brands – Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and FIAT, FCA – North America. "We see a great response when we give our Dodge and SRT customers the opportunity to make their vehicles unique, so offering new custom exterior options is just one way we plan to continue to keep building on Durango's success."
Dodge continues to deliver customization and features that its loyal Durango customers love. These two new looks are now available along with the segment-exclusive Radar Red Nappa leather seats and a BeatsAudio nine-speaker premium audio system that includes a subwoofer and a 506-watt amplifier. This BeatsAudio premium audio system offers studio quality sound in the customer's vehicle, available on the Durango Limited, R/T and Citadel.
The Dodge Durango boasts class-leading towing and driving range, confident driving dynamics, advanced technology, aggressive styling, and with the addition of the Brass Monkey and Anodized Platinum appearance packages, now offers even more ways customers can customize their ride.
