Road & Track History

The R/T or Road and Track configuration was first introduced as a trim on the Dodge Coronet in 1968. Since its inception, the R/T has gone on to be included in the trim menu of 29 Dodge vehicles, the most illustrious of which is the 1968 Dodge Challenger.

SRT® vs. R/T

The R/T trims are packed with sport-tuned performance features and have higher specs than the rest of a given Dodge model’s configurations. Dodge’s other performance trim, SRT® (Street & Racing Technology), however, offers even more performance features and higher specs. Naturally, SRT® models come at a higher price, and the R/T brand is best defined as an affordable alternative in the world of performance vehicles.
