Family car but not minivan! LOL You have to have something to set them apart....ours is a family vehicle too but we are both into sporty and beefy vehicles so hubby is ok with whatever I want to do with it!! Plus the fact that he thinks its sooo funny to say that ever minivan we see he says "look there's another journey...oh wait its a minivan" haha not very funny I say! So to that I say go with the stripes! When you get the weather to put yours on a pict would be cool BTW I will trade you our daily 110 temps with NO rain for your fog and rain! LOL

I have the same issue with mine not fitting correctly on the 2011 with the newer front fascia....we have left it as is for now with the gaps. its not too horribly noticeable but I am hoping that Dodge will come out with a new part number that actually fits the 2011, I'm not wanting to start hacking away at my car! LOL

So I don't have any picts to load up but I have a black 2011 R/T so I am thinking about having the partial stripe across the hood and front fender with the R/T logo at the bottom of it just like some of the new Challenger and Nitro's have.....thinking about getting it done in red so it will match the red interior stitching....thoughts or opinions??

Plasti Dip is awesome!! Hubby used it on his Nissan Titan rims and it looks great! I'm debating on doing mine black as well....yours turned out great!

I in some way agree with this. NOTHING against anyone who owns another year or model of the Journey or any other Dodge vehicle, but I bought the R/T because I have always loved what it stood for. I looked at purchasing the Crew model because it was basically the same as the R/T except for the R/T has the red accents and stitching in the seats. What does disappoint me is that the Crew and R/T are basically the exact same package even down to the rims!! I really wish the Crew had different rims from the R/T. IMO the R/T should stand out a little more from the other models aside from just having an R/T badge slapped on them which anyone can add. However I will say that I have owned my Journey since May and I am still absolutely LOVING it!!! I am so ready to have it paid off so I can by a R/T Challenger!! LOL

Yes, this is very helpful on hills when you don't want your car to keep downshifting..I use mine quite a bit!

Ouch!!! Poor car!! That looks painful! Sorry that happened, there is nothing worse than having a new vehicle and it gets hailed on! Been there and done that, its not fun!!

I rarely ever seen any Journey's where were are in Oklahoma since buying mine in May. I have seen a few older ones and so far only have seen 2 new ones with the newer front fascia....1 white in town with TX plates, and then husband saw one down the road from where he works identical to mine except for no window tint or mud flaps ....I kinda like being an individual right now, its fun!

I had this same problem with a 2007 Charger. I can't remember exactly what had to be replaced but it was something electrical and it was covered under warranty. Don't let your dealer blow you off! Sorry I don't have more information, but I hope this helps!

I couldn't have said it better! There is just no way to explain how cool the car is, it explains it for itself! I think Dodge really out did themselves with their whole new line of 2011 vehicles! I have to say though that 1 bad experience with a dealer or even brand of car can really ruin it for you...it happened to me with my Toyota Camry. I will say that before you knock the new Dodge line up you need to at least test drive one, or several! LOL Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but seriously the new Journey kicks butt!! We even drove a 2010 Ford Edge before buying the 2011 Journey and the Journey has way more features and just over all look and comfort miles beyond the Edge did....especially for the price of the Journey you just can't beat what you get! =)

The changes really do make a difference!! I have the new body and I think my car was built in April, so I'm not sure when the changes were made but I like it!!

I have noticed the same thing about it starting a song from the beginning...it gets annoying! LOL Chrysler had no answers for us about there not being a folder or playlist for the ipod...my only hope now is that they come out with some sort of software upgrade to fix it. So far no other issues!

We called the Chrysler customer help number and are supposed to be getting a call back....will let you know if we find anything out...

Mainmango- LOVE the Charger picts!! I owned a 2007 which I loved! I have to say it was one of the most comfortable cars I have owned...other than my Journey now of course! LOL When looking at the Journey we also test drove a 2011 white Charger with what I call peanut butter brown leather interior...very, very sweet ride!! Hubby didn't care for it but I loved it! Can't wait to see picts of your Journey when it comes in....I have not seen any mango tango ones yet!

We just picked up my 2011 Black R/T a week ago and have not seen 1 new 2011 Journey on the road anywhere yet! The dealer we bought from had 3 others on the lot (white, red, and silver) but they were not the R/T package. They also said that our black one was the first R/T they got in and they have a red on on order...I am hoping to not see any black ones around for awhile! LOL We also get alot of looks on the road by people I'm sure wondering what the heck we are driving!

They look great!! You did an awesome job! Congrats!

The parking lot comment was great! I would have never thought of that either! BTW, did you ever have the bars installed? I have thought about having some put on mine for looks but I am also having mud flaps installed tomorrow and I didn't know how a bar would fit with them on....also if you had the bars put on picts would be great!!

Awesome..thanks for looking!!

I have had my Journey for almost a week and have had NO problems with the VC or BT which came with mine. Hopefully we will not have any issues! I have noticed that the shuffle on the Ipod does tend to repeat the same songs alot. Also I do not have an option to play folders from my Ipod but I haven't heard of anyone else with that problem yet.

I have a 2011 R/T with the 8.4N Uconnect touch screen. When I am using my Ipod there is no option to play the folders from my Ipod. Also I have noticed that when I am using my Ipod, then turn the car off for awhile then start it back up the last song that was playing starts from the beginning...seems weird to me, I have never had a vehicle that did this. Has anyone else had these "problems" or have heard of it??

Check out the picts of my 2011 Black R/T Journey!! My link

Congrats on the new Journey as well! I am LOVING mine! Just took her out for her first road trip today and we averaged 25 mpg with wind and hills! We also looked at a Crew but I just loved the red and black interior on the R/T too much to not go with it...especially since the price was the same! LOL

I never named any of my previous vehicles...I guess they just didn't deserve one! LOL I just love my Journey and felt she needed to be called more than just "the car"...check her out at http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3922930/2011-dodge-journey-r-t Enjoy!! ...let me know what you think!

Thanks!! So far I am very happy with my REAL R/T! LOL ...getting mud flaps installed Monday! YEA!!

Thanks!!!! Very glad to be here
