What’s included

To begin, the Dodge Charger Blacktop Package includes the following notable visual upgrades:

Gloss black I/P cluster trim rings

Gloss black fascia applique

Black 1-piece performance spoiler

Black Dodge grille badge

HEMI Blacktop fender badge

Satin black Charger decklid badge

Satin black Dodge tail lamp badge

Blacktop R/T badge

20" x 8" black noise-painted wheels

Rhombi 2-piece wheel center cap

On top of the appearance upgrades seen above, the Dodge Charger Blacktop Package also adds all-season performance tires.

All-season tires are designed for the everyday driver, so they have rubber compounds that last longer than those of other tire types. Because of their moderate tread depths, they can be driven safely and dependably in all but the most severe winter conditions.

Performance tires are made to make sports cars and other vehicles handle better and grip the road more effectively. They have different tread patterns, construction features, and rubber compounds that make them more precise, responsive, and gripping.

These upgraded tires for the Blacktop Package can make a big difference thanks to their combination of all-season reliability and performance capability.

Sport suspension is also part of the Dodge Charger Blacktop Package. This means that the springs and shock absorbers are tuned differently than they are on a standard suspension—and with this, you can drive with more confidence, especially around turns and at high speeds.

Finally, the Dodge Charger Blacktop Package includes a compact spare tire, a lightweight, special-purpose tire designed to save the day when one of your regular tires finally gives out.

Is the Blacktop Package worth it?

If you want more of a sporty look and feel, the Blacktop Package is money well spent.

But if you want a package with a lot of tech features, which the Blacktop does lack, then the Technology Group package might be more worth it to you.

And if you’re looking to splurge, the Plus Group package is your best bet if you want the most comprehensive options for your Dodge Charger.

Let’s take a look at how these two packages stack up!

Blacktop Package vs. the Technology Group

The Blacktop doesn't add much at all in terms of technology, so it is entirely outclassed by the Technology Group package in this regard.

The Technology Group includes:

Advanced brake assist

Auto high beam headlamp control

Rain-sensitive windshield wipers

Humidity sensor

Rear-view auto-dim mirror

Adaptive cruise control

Air conditioning ATC with dual-zone control

Full speed FWD collision warn plus

Lane departure warning plus

If having modern and easy-to-use technological features in your vehicle is your top priority, then perhaps the $895 price tag for the Technology Group is worth it.

Blacktop Package vs. the Plus Group

Your Dodge Charger can also be upgraded with the Plus Group, which includes a number of high-quality upgrades.

The GT RWD model receives 20x8-inch satin carbon wheels in addition to performance seats upholstered in Nappa leather. The SXT AWD trim level adds a rear spoiler in the same color as the car's body and Nappa leather trim to the sports seats.

Here are some other elements in the Plus Group package:

Power tilt/telescope steering column

Blind spot and cross-path detection

Rear-view auto dim mirror

Black-edged premium floormats

Exterior mirror courtesy lamps

Premium-stitched dash panel

Exterior mirrors with heating element

Front LED fog lamps

Humidity sensor

Driver & passenger lower LED lamps

Deluxe security alarm

Front overhead LED lighting

While this is an extensive list, keep in mind the Plus Group comes with a higher price point—$4,075, to be exact.

The bottom line

If you're looking for a cost-effective way to boost the Charger's sportiness and curb appeal, the Blacktop Package is a great option. But those who place a higher value on technology or are willing to spend more should consider the Technology Group or Plus Group package.
