Couldnt SXT be like Sports Cross Trim, or SLT be Semi Luxuary Trim, doesnt SLT usually have chrome crap all over it?
R/T, SLT, SXT...... What do these mean?
I've tried to look through all the boards before I asked so I wouldn't look stupid asking this question. I have an Durango SLT so I just wanted to know what I have.

Chrome rear bumper, chrome grill shell, chrome bumper with plastic finish-bottom...yea. lets see, there was Base, Sport, SLT then sport was gone and they added SXT(which replaced sport and base), then the last year for the gen. 3's they added the....STAMPEDE ooooooooo- :jester:
Oh, yea, and how can I forget the RT! DOH!
my window sticker said mine was a sport, but the "sport" wasnt in the normal spot and i didnt see the sport until a few days later, so...
(on the tailgate it had an "SXT"...?
i asked my "salesman" what the difference was between sport and sxt and he didnt know.)
...so, i wasnt sure what i was getting. all i knew was it was a 4.7, 2wd, QC, power everthing except seats, fender flares, and the bigger tires.
edit: and my truck has the black bumpers like an SXT...?
its like i got a bastard child of a truck.

The SXT,SLT,SLT+, and Sport were all basically the trim codes. I don't know what all of them mean but here's a few. This is for durangos btw.
SXT started in the 2002 vehicles. SLT was the older codes but were still used. SXT was a basic trim, with the least amount of options. Decals/stickers were used instead of badges. No third seat.
Sport came with smaller wheels (15X7), no fog lights, black bumper on front instead of painted, no fender flairs,
SLT,SLT+. Not really too sure on the comparison of these until i find my sales booklet i had with all the different options. SLT+ is the higher trim code with leather, 3rd row, heated seats, chrome interior door handles, woodgrain trim, pwr seats, 15X8 wheels. SLT would have the 3rd seats, 15x8 wheels, but the rest i'll have to check.

In my mind, i always buy a vowel with SLT- one of these days i'll get around to finding a sticker place that will make me a new emblem that says SLuT.
A little off-topic, that's one reason i could never consider a Toyota truck... i see those big TRD (Toyota Racing Division) graphics and immediately think "turd".
Car manufacturers love the letters S, E, X, T, L, R, and V. i would bet that upwards of 80% of trim designations across all manufacturers are made up of various combinations of these six letters. No doubt some marketing weenie did a bunch of focus group studies to determine what these letters make people think of, then they just string them together to evoke luxury, strength, speed, or whatever idiot buzzword their brand manager is trying to evoke.

It's all a ploy to charge more ...... $10 worth of trim = $1000 for the rtgsxsx badge!!
btw, Flipped Over Rebuilt Dodge - can't believe you guys didn't have that one!
I have a 37 year old Ford - Old Bronco's are not the typical Ford!!

Maybe there just dumb. I dunno.
I have to agree. the older model fords do command some degree of respect. not like this new fiberglass body crap.Shank said:I have a 37 year old Ford - Old Bronco's are not the typical Ford!!
SXT is NOT a base line.....
My 02 SXT has every option the 02 SLT has, except for the third seat and the rear heat/air. SXT is mostly a trim package. (no chrome, color keyed exterior, etc) SXT is still available with the 5.9 or the 4.7, as my 01 has the 5.9 and my 02 has the 4.7l both are SXT.

Sorry to bring up an old topic:sorry: but my friends always made fun of my 95 slt and said that the SLT stands for Shitty Little Truck.:nana:
I always though "LT" stood for "Leather Trim" At least on GM's?? Not sure what the "S" would be though.
I have A SLT+ thats what the original bill of sale said.
5.9
leather, seats & door panals
heat and air front and back
3rd row
