With the 2018 Rearview camera regulation in effect on ALL 2018 model year vehicles, what does the Journey plan to do? Currently the the 2018s still have the 4.3 screens standard which can not be configured with rear view camera. Only way to get rearview now is to opt for the 8.4 screen. Anybody know of any changes coming up?

I think it was said the mandate takes effect in April, after the JK goes out of production.

PULEEEZ!!!! Confusion is what FCA radios are known for.......lol There is no logic in how they name anything at FCA.
When "Uconnect" first came out it was the name of the blue tooth....that was until it wasn't...lol
"Limited" used to mean upgraded pkg with leather....until it didnt(see Chrysler 200)
300C used to mean top of the line 300 with HEMI...until it didnt.....(Chrysler 300 2014-2017) But now it is a HEMI again in 2018
confusing......yep...lol

Better solutions... who would have thought? Damn seatbelts. Airbags, radial tires, energy absorbing bumpers, blind spot radar, Wind Shield wipers, safety glass ...................... damn near every device has some sort of imaging chip down to $30 pads the idea that shouldn't be leveraged is comical. The exponential movement of technology is lost on many.

My favourite was those "Limited" Dodge Journeys with cloth interiors...

Or GT trims which are V6 models in every car. Nothing more "GT" about those cars than the SXT versions.

GT is the "Show" without the "Go", lol. When I was Durango shopping in Wasilla and Anchorage, there were a few GT's that caught my eye... I thought they were R/T's the way they were spec'd,... Brass Monkey/Blacktop packages. But I guess that IS the point. If you like the look of the R/T versus the SXT's or the Citadel, and don't want/need the Hemi or want better Gas Mileage, you don't have to ante up the 5-6 extra grand.
And to be fair,... with the 8-speed, the sixes are about as quick as my 13' Hemi was. So it's just a little less "Go",... But the SOUND is completely different, lol.

To preserve the R/T, the GT is the designation for the top of the line V6 models for the brand.
Charger GT = Performance AWD Sedan
Challenger GT = Performance AWD Coupe
Durango GT = Performance V6 SUV
Grand Caravan GT = Most Performance based minivan
Journey GT = top of the line V6 model.

Be glad that JC49 (Journey) didn't go by the original name for it... the Dodge Crew.

I do recall that discussion. Then they briefly turned it into a trim level instead.

This thread is about the 2018 Dodge Journey. It is not about the merits, or lack thereof, of backup cameras. It is not about state safety inspections.
