I just passed 12k miles took delivery around 7/1/21.....full ppf so I can run it worry free year round..agree on the standard black seats....

 

[frictioncircle]

mine will go into my collection w/ all of my other Mopar vehicles. I simply do not care. .

the collector marvel - Google Search

The only hang-up I have is the fear of theft on the road..I can't bring myself to take the HC on overnight trips...Unavowed has debagged I have not..

 

[frictioncircle]

you guys are giving me Nov 20 flashbacks'........

We needed a new car. I looked at everything. I can honestly say not one SUV on the market appealed to me. The Durango was the one exception though it’s a bit larger than we need. No family , just the two of us. Hopefully my wife doesn’t say it’s too big.

so then why not trackhawk

 

[frictioncircle]

took mine 2 weeks to get a vin after von...in 2020..

 

[frictioncircle]

Does that mean it was in BG status? Is that the stage where you only have a VON?

my status was ( married 2 children) in those two weeks I had no idea what Dodge status I was in...

 

[frictioncircle]

back when I ordered my SRT 392 in 17/18 the tracking system was trash...I don't think it worked in 20/21 either. I relied on my dealer to update status..

So being a 21 owner and looking at the rebirth of the 23 model and thinking about how the brand wants to make everyone happy....I believe the 10k bump in base msrp is to appease those who felt the new batch would degrade value. from early observations on the 23 ordering process Stelantis may also be concerned with oversupply..

 

[frictioncircle]

I agree with grizzy. If I was in the market I would look for a low mile 21...because you have more flexibility on options..No sunroof but with everything else was important to me...Having the HC logo on the seats is also more desirable to me than the generic SRT..

 

[frictioncircle]

The biggest drawback on a 21 is you really don’t know how they treated it. Why save money on a used car when you can just buy new and feel confident you F’d it up instead. Lol.

Yea you are either ok with buying used or you aren't.

 

[frictioncircle]

why Black Bambi

 

[frictioncircle]

remember 21 was the only year for the Durango HC...

 

[frictioncircle]

Mark my prescience ....sometime in late 23 a final edition redeye version will be announced

the durangonator...

 

[frictioncircle]

they can bang out over 200 D's per day (Assuming parts availability)..so its not like these are Chirons...lol..

 

[frictioncircle]

Afaik the power broker designation is for the engine upgrades that maintain the warranty,,not sure how it correlates with dealer size , but likely how many HC motors it services..

This is interesting to follow as a new Dodge guy and new to the forum!

I have a 23' DDHC order in with a power broker now that only got 1 DDHC allocation (from what they said anyway). My story is the same; I have VON, only a VIN from the dealer and it's not on the tracker while the status is D, again this coming from the dealer. Coming from BMW & Porsche to Dodge because I wanted to switch it up from the Germans in terms of a fast SUV and needed one that can tow my incoming race car (sold my X5MC for my GT4 RS and drive a 392 now that I bought from the power broker until the DDHC comes in), let's say this experience with Dodge has been different!

When you order a BMW or Porsche it's as close to real time updates as you can get when it comes to complicated manufacturing and supply chains. My GT4 RS has a map with current movements, countdown timers etc. and all of my BMW's had updated at least weekly or so. With that said I do really like the Durango and hope everyone that has a DDHC allocation and wants one gets them! It's a great machine and supper useful, I can tell that with just having the 392 currently. Guess it's time to just wait and see what happens...

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and happy holidays! Cheers

Yep the SRT in 18 and the perfect size suv brought me to the brand. They really don't cater to the expectations of the 100k buyer, but the performance is worth the herky jerky esp the 6.2..It really does bring the Durango platform into the top echelon of 3 row performance. Have fun with that RS which was my backup plan.

 

[frictioncircle]

I use it all year in NEPa...full PPF ...

 

[frictioncircle]

they can pump out alot of Durangos each day, just depends on having the other stuff that makes it a HC..

 

[frictioncircle]

Interesting. so looks like they are accumulating orders to see how many they need to build...Having an allotment system also means they likely already know how many they could build...much different from 21
