We take the Dodge Durango Hellcat for a drive to see how it tows and launches. This 700-hp Durango can do it all - tow, launch, haul 7 people and hit the racetrack. So is it the perfect vehicle?

Truck Kings, This week rumours circulated that Dodge was moving the Durango to a body-on-frame setup based on the new Wagoneer. Next time you are speaking with Stellantis, please ask if there is any chance a 2 Door/2 Tone/2.5 Ton RamCharger might make a comeback. That may sound FOOLish but if anyone is CRAZY enough to do it, it's Dodge. ;-)

@@sylvain-paulcote5470 I think it mostly came down to their financial standing and production capacity. Chrysler was barely hanging on and was bailed out in the late 70s so they had to be cautious in the 80s (relying on K cars and the Minivan). In the 90s they were doing well enough to turn out the 1st gen. Durango that was body on frame, although it was based on the 2nd gen Dakota and not the full size Ram.

Honestly if they go this route we won't be even considering another Durango. One of the main appeals is that it doesn't handle like a truck or feel as heavy (at 5700lbs it's undeniably heavy but feels much lighter when pushing it). Dodge may gain some new buyers with a body on frame but I guarantee they are going to lose buyers as well.

I have a 2008 6.1L V8 Hemi Dodge Challenger SRT and I will be passing 321,000 miles this week. I am a regional manager for my company and do about 25-30,000 miles a year. Since I don't pay for gas and get a monthly vehicle allowance I figured back in 2008 to get the vehicle that I had always wanted. The Hemi motor outside of the Hemi tick is incredibly reliable. I had my Hemi tick fixed at around 200,000 miles and I haven't had the problem since. I had the transmission replaced at around 276,000, and pretty much the entire front steering and brake system has all been replaced at this point. It's a Dobge...they're not built to go past 200,000 but I have to say my car has been great. I have been holding out hoping Dodge releases a new Challenger but it doesn't look like that is going to happen anytime soon still. For now she'll do. Hell, maybe I'll go for 500,000 and probably be the only Dodge Challenger on the planet with that many miles. Now that I think about it I might have the highest mileage Challenger in the whole world already!

Hey Stephen, just wanted to mention that Stellantis is definitely moving forward with new platforms; the Grand Cherokee is new, the Wagoneer is new, the 1500 is quite new yet. But the "platform" matters less to most people who won't even know how old it is unless you tell them, it's about the total experience; throw a nice exterior/interior/drivetrain onto a platform and the platform matters very little at that point to the average joe.

It will probably replace the 392 outright and tickle the hellcat with 500hp and 650lbft.

These are def cool vehicles but to me the outside styling is a bit boring compared to a brand like BMW or other top builders. The interior looks great, no complaints there but for almost $100k I want something that looks absolutely amazing as well as performs amazing too. They def have the performance down, now if they just redesign the body on these I think it will open up many more potential buyers. Lets be honest, it's not moms buying these for their kids, so It shouldn't look like it. Just my 2 cents.
