Yep, it's a fairly "complete" package in that you can't get many options
with it from what I've seen. It looks like the SXT line is targeted at the
18-24 age bracket that's buying up ricers - not a lotta money but want
something "like" the R/T.

'course, I wasn't much more than 21 when I got my Sport+, and if the SXT
was available, I'd have skipped it to get the V8.

In the Daks and Durangos, you get a monochrome body with the Graphite
flares & bumpers. The "bigger" wheels I think are just the 16x8s that are
standard on the tire & handling package on other models.

My aunt recently wrapped her 4Runner around a telephone pole and replaced
it with a Durango SXT. Haven't seen it muself yet.
