Any experienced mechanic knows that Chrysler products are hellish to work on. As if that wasn’t bad enough, FCA has a history of poor build quality, as it’s the case with a handful of 2021 Dodge Durango SUVs.

Only 2,000 units of the Hellcat-engined Durango were supposed to be manufactured, and all of them sold out in just a matter of weeks. Dodge Garage reports that if a dealer has a “sold” order in the system, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will be much obliged to ramp up production. 60 photos
“Any time you launch a limited-production vehicle and plan to build fewer units than the number of dealers across the country, you risk leaving a lot of customers very unhappy,” said brand director Bob Broderdorf. “As we finalized the production plan for this amazing SUV, we found a way to move some Hellcats from other vehicles to ensure every ‘sold order’ in our systems will get built. We didn’t want to disappoint these customers and wanted to find a way to ensure they are part of the Brotherhood of Muscle.”
For $49,400, the HEMI-Powered R/T AWD Is the Bargain of the 2021 Durango Lineup 20 Jan 2021, 11:13 UTC ·

Dodge’s only remaining SUV model is available for 2021 in eight different trims, including the R/T AWD. This model stands out by combining a high level of comfort and convenience with the performance of a HEMI V8, all for a starting price of under $50,000. 6 photos
For fans of V8-powered muscle cars who want the same level of performance out of a three-row SUV, the Dodge Durango is the only viable option.
Out of the diverse lineup, the 475-hp SRT 992 and 710-hp Hellcat are the best performers, but the base prices for these monsters stand at $65,000 and $82,500, respectively.
