R/T vs crossroad


Abesmil

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone I decided to take the journey after searching for a small 7 passenger.

I like the look of the crossroad with the black wheels and crome roof bar.

My question is what do I get more on the RT?

I'm in middle of ordering one but for some reason I see the RT is sill more expensive even after adding all features to the crossroad

What's the price difference? My 2014 R/T Rallye AWD retailed for $31,300 according to the window sticker (I bought it very lightly used and bought it when the dealer was having a sale on bunch of used SUVs). It has red stitched seats and steering wheel, 19" anthracite wheels, body color grille and door handles, R/T sport-tuned suspension, roof rails deleted. Some of these are unique to the Rallye appearance package, including the black headlight buckets.

I bought my Journey because it fit all my needs for an amazing price, and looked cool to boot with the Rallye package. If I was going to order one from the factory, though, I'd get the Crossroad and then look into having the grille blacked out and the chrome-ish trim on the front fascia blacked out as well (not sure if it is already... I just hate the chrome grille on non-Rallye and non-Blacktop Journeys, and the front trim on the Crossroad is awkward to me). I like its wheels the best, and I wish my R/T had the lower side rails and darker tail lights. I might look into adding them down the road.

Sounds like the major differences are visual styling. The V6, 6 speed, and AWD have to be added if they're desired (and I definitely wanted them). R/T guarantees you the mechanical goodies, and gives you a sporty look. Crossroad is optional and gives a different unique look and feel.

I looked at the Canadian dodge.ca web site and it shows in order of trim level the crossroad Awd having a higher starting price then the RT

I think it's more a styling preference at that point.

CrossRoad14,

I like the looks of the Crossroad, I think most buyers will take a step back and decide on appearance as the the R/T is similar in so many ways.
