Last month, we took the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat for what we called “one last thrill ride.” Seems there are a couple of thrills left within the old girl yet, Dodge announcing the Hellcat-powered model will return for the approaching model 12 months at the identical time the automaker detailed updates for the 2024 Durango. There’s not much happening for next 12 months, perhaps influenced by the mystery of how long the Durango itself has to live; there’s been all types of speculation concerning the Durango retiring, or perhaps just the name retiring, or perhaps the Durango becoming a bigger SUV and a newly named product taking the present Durango’s place.
To the revisions, though. The Citadel trim will likely be eligible for the Tow N Go Package that is been limited to the R/T trim until now. This combines the hauling bits of the Trailer Tow Group with luxury and performance bits like headlight leveling, an adaptive suspension, SRT performance exhaust, 4 drive modes, energetic noise canceling, 20-inch wheels in Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires, Brembo brakes, and a 145-mph top speed. For the 2023 model 12 months, the package costs $5,990. The choice increases towing capability for the four-wheel drive Citadel from 7,400 kilos to eight,700 kilos.
The automaker’s also making blind spot monitoring standard equipment across the lineup, and adding Blind Spot Monitoring with Trailer Detect to the Trailer Tow Group.
Dodge didn’t reveal 2024 Durango pricing with the equipment changes. Based on prices shared with car-shopping sites, it appears there are only minor increases on the way in which. Anticipated MSRPs for the 2024 Durango after the present $1,595 destination charge, and their changes from 2023, are:
- SXT: $40,420 ($280)
- GT: $42,920 ($280)
- R/T: $53,520 ($280)
- Citadel: $54,420 ($380)
- SRT 392: $73,195 ($480)
- SRT Hellcat: $94,095 ($490)
- SRT Hellcat Plus: $101,690 ($490)
- SRT Hellcat Premium: $106,895 ($490)
We listed the three Hellcat trims because Mopar Insiders says the bottom Durango SRT Hellcat won’t make the transition to 2024, however the Plus and Premium will. Research sites show pricing for the entry-level trim, so we’ll need to see what happens. If Dodge wields the identical base-model pruning shears other automakers have been flexing, the Durango SRT Hellcat will start above six figures. Each time Dodge does announce pricing, we should not be surprised to listen to that the Durango, just like the Ram 1500 TRX pickup, will likely be shut down for good at the top of this 12 months and sent off with some type of special edition.
