So I stopped at the dealer Thursday to inquire about ordering a 2023 HCWB. I was really hoping to order a 23’ since it’s the last year of production but it just seems so dis organized. The salesman told me off the hop that 2023 orders won’t be opened until December 2022. (I have read online as “early” as October) My salesman also advised me that someone spec’d the almost identical car but in a scatpack 6 months ago. He told me it could be anywhere from 6-8 months minimum before it gets built and I come to read on Facebook from a sales rep of 8 years, that all 23’ Hellcats will be limited production because of the plant shutting down in second quarter of 23’ for EV re-tooling. So there will be no way to tell how many allocations will be available. I’m stuck if I should bite the bullet on a 22’ and get it 6+ months later or wait it out to order a 23’ . Hoping some people can chime in here and clear a few things up for me. Thank you

If you don’t want an SS, RE, or a JB. Then order one now and wait. No point in waiting for a 23 especially since you’re in Canada.

This information is good to know. Sounds like theres not gonna be a lot of ‘23 allocations.


I regret waiting too long to order a ‘22 Hellcat. I wanted a Redeye. But I’m happy I got the last allocation at my dealership. For a WB Challenger.

The fastest cars I’ve driven were a 500 hp ‘03 Cobra. ‘19 Scat pack Charger. ‘18 Camaro SS

I’m sure I’ll be happy with a new 717 HP Challenger.

You really can't believe anything a dealer tells you about order dates and cutoffs at this point. The only one that knows anything at this point is Stellantis and even that could change.

Heck, a month or so ago we had posts on this forum saying 2022 was over and the 2023 order banks would soon be opening! And this was also backed up and confirmed by Koons.

LOL, it was all nonsense and completely untrue.

So, never take one dealers word on anything. You can keep checking the Donlen fleet page for dates and cutoffs and that is probably as close as you can get.

You would be correct !!!

Well Slicks would know so I'll go with it!

I guess the next thing to see is really if Brampton closes early or not, December orders means late Jan or Feb production start and then they will kill it in May or Jun? Seems odd but we will see!

hllrasinkitty: As much difficulty, disorganization & mass-confusion that exists now, it's likely gonna be much worse for model year 2023. Sunroof option for the 2018 SRT Demon was $4995, then it leveled off to about $1995 for the Scats, Hellcats and Redeyes. Now for model year 2022 it's $1295 (I saw a guy's window sticker on his 2022 Superstock). That tells me they have a bunch of sunroof parts laying around that they want gone. Bottom line: It seems Dodge wants to liquidate whatever parts they have in their SRT line up. Imagine what is gonna happen next year as they use up the 800hp engines? My humble opinion is: once they use up the parts that are needed to build these cars, the ordering process is terminated. If I were you, get one now while you can. Hope this helps.

Is Koons still saying that 2023 ordering is a go any day now? Anyone contact them lately? Just wondering.

 

[jbrumz85]

Order now if it takes too long u might get it turned into a 23. That’s what happened with some of the 21 orders.

Sunroof for Demon was always $4995 and the other models were always $1995 before now. It never 'leveled out', you just paid more if it was in a Demon.

Don’t wait for a 23 it may never happen

Thanks for the reply. It helped. Another question.. I just went to my local dealer of a fairly small town here in Ontario that estimated it may take 6-8 months minimum for it to be built. Will I have better luck if I went to a volume dealer in Ontario versus a small town dealer that rarely orders HCs?

True.

Some ‘21 orders turned into ‘22?

Do not wait, we ordered a 22 Durango and we were limited in options and color selection because the Durango is moving from JNAP to Mack to be built on the same platform as the new Grand Cherokee. I would go and find a dealer right now who can actually place an order, get you VON, and hopefully within 5 days, you will have a VIN.

 

[HP_Addict19]

I ordered mine a month ago. D Status now.

bottom line: since Stellantis took over Dodge everything has gone to $h*t and you cant trust allocations and build times or schedules. If you really want a hellcat just try to get anything you can find, including the used car market. One can easily get and exceed RE performance with the right mods and tuner.
