ADK — Sport Touring Group. This code identifies a factory option package or special-edition equipment group. Browse Sales Code codes →

I am considering a used 2020 Dodge Durango. The seller says it has the equipment associated with ADK, and the code description is “Sport Touring Group. This code identifies a factory option package or special-edition equipment group” What physical details should I inspect to make sure the listing is accurate?

Before buying, I would inspect the relevant component and take a photo of its label or part number. That often resolves whether the vehicle still has the factory configuration associated with ADK.

Some codes are reused across several brands, but that does not always mean the parts are identical. Model, trim, drivetrain, and production date can all matter.

Check the production month as well as the model year. Mid-year changes are one reason two vehicles with the same badge can have different hardware or descriptions.

A clear photo of the build label, VIN report, and the relevant component would help. Do not post the full VIN publicly; the last eight characters are normally enough for a parts-counter discussion.

I would avoid buying retrofit parts until the connectors and module support are confirmed. Returning electronic or VIN-programmed components can be difficult.

The safest interpretation is the one tied to the exact VIN, model year, platform, and market. In general, ADK matches “Sport Touring Group. This code identifies a factory option package or special-edition equipment group” but the included hardware can vary between applications.

The dealer should be able to pull a VIN-specific equipment or parts record. Ask them to search by VIN rather than entering only the three-character code.

For a retrofit, check the modules, wiring connectors, software configuration, and compatible part numbers first. Installing the visible component alone may not make the feature operational.

Thanks. I checked the physical equipment and it appears to match the build record. The model-year warning was the part I was missing.
