What Is Dodge?

Dodge is a performance and utility brand with supported Steelcraft applications across the Charger, Dakota, Durango, Journey, Nitro, and Dodge Sprinter. Fitment varies widely because these models use very different vehicle structures.

Charger applications are low-clearance performance-car fitments, Dakota is a legacy midsize pickup, Durango is a three-row SUV, Journey is a crossover, Nitro is a legacy SUV, and Dodge Sprinter is a commercial van.

Before ordering Dodge accessories, confirm exact model, year, trim, sensors, fascia, cab, bed, wheelbase, door layout, and mounting points.
