“Sadly, the Durango SRT Hellcat will only be available for the 2021 model year, after which Dodge says it will no longer meet the emissions requirements for its segment.”

$80K :unsure:

With Dealership Admin. fees on a 1 year run Hellcat Durango, you will not be able to touch one of these for under $100K.

I feel like this is Dodge hedging their bet to avoid what happened with the Trackhawk, considering there are still 2018s sitting on dealer lots because they grossly overestimated demand. They're definitely going for a pull marketing strategy this time, using the one model year run to leverage demand.

This is the kicker though:
That's not necessarily a reason to fret over, though; Dodge says it will make as many Durango Hellcats as needed to meet customer demand.

As long as dealerships don't get away with obscene markups on these (doubtful), I'll probably end up pulling the trigger on one.

Nice little freshen up . Retuning the dampers was a good idea, i like the leather on the lower cabin areas. Not sure about the “driver centric layout“ for the new C8 let alone a family wagon, though it seems limited to the lower console.

Sadly, this will probably be the case. It's what happened with the Demon, correct? Can't blame the dealers for trying to make some extra money. But I will blame whoever forks over the additional cash.

When the ordering process opens up I will report back

I'm sure the next gen of 3 row suv for Dodge may be Stelvio based and may have tons of HP with turbos, I'm thinking that a one year only "old Durango" HC will make it desirable in the future...

I was seriously not planning on replacing my '18 DSRT anytime soon. But after seeing all of the improvements with the 2021 Durango Hellcat variant, I may have to seriously reconsider jumping on this one. More power, suspension tuning, LED lights, refreshed/nicer interior, upgraded infotainment with a larger screen, bit louder exhaust, etc. It quite literally checks all of the boxes for me. Everything I love about the Durango, except better!

Naturally, a big factor will be price. I would not be surprised to see MSRP $80-90k+, depending on options. Any dealer markup will be a no go. But those don't usually last long. I do wonder about depreciation, which has not been kind to the Durango. Will the limited run be a factor with so many Trackhawks running around? We shall see...
