Finally took delivery of my 2019 Durango SRT yesterday! It's granite exterior, black interior, with red seatbelts.

Options: technology group, trailer tow group IV, high performance brakes, Harman Kardon speakers w/subwoofer, the Pirelli P Zero 3-season tires, and blind spot/cross-path detection. Skipped the sunroof and LCD screens in the seatbacks.

I have 200 miles on it so far, mostly highway miles. First impressions are that it's a heck of a lot of fun to drive, even during the break-in period, a wonderful driving experience. The SRT team did a good job here.

I think it's probably about as a fast 0-60 as my RWD, manual transmission 911 GTS (PDK would have an edge). It's probably more usable day-to-day fun--I'm at stop signs or stop lights a lot, but deserted windy roads are harder to come by.

I've read reports of misaligned trim and other problems and yep, the injection molding leaves something to be desired, and the trim along the rear taillight is off by 1/8" or something. Also the supposedly red seatbelts are, sadly, more maroon-ish than bright red. But overall I'm delighted with it.

Gotta say, never really liked the granite color. Somehow the stance and black accents make that look sinister!!! Really really nice!
 
congrats!! can't wait til mine comes in. are those the 6-piston Brembos on the front? Still trying to figure out what the $1200 we spent on "high performance brakes" gives us compared to MY 2018? Are those the standard or optional wheels?
 
thanks for clarifying the front brakes - so it must have the same rotors as the Hellcats at $600 a pop. Yes, me wondering too - where is the trailer brake controller located?

Thanks, everyone! Looking forward to lots of happy miles.

Mleads310: I think the HK sound system is pretty good. No complaints. Probably worth the extra cash? But I haven't spent much time in an SRT without the HK system so I'm not the best person to give you an opinion:

Drag_Racer: Yup, these are the standard wheels.

B5SRT: I just went into the garage and took a photo of the trailer brake controller. It's below. I don't have a trailer (this is future-proofing for a later one) so haven't tried it out yet.

could you try the photo of trailer brake controller attachment again - says invalid?
 
Thanks for taking the time to post some pics of the 2019, ive been wanting to see if the brake option looks like the hellcats with the black hat piece and it does which is nice.

Would you mind telling me if you have a suede like headliner and front pillars like that the jeep srt has? I cant seem to tell if its standard now or if its part of the appearance package with no pics on the dodge website.

Also are those the standard wheels or the optional $995 matte finish ones cause it looks like the optional ones, they look good.

sk11venge: These are the standard wheels. They look pretty matte in these photos because the sun was already going down--they might be shinier in the sunlight. I didn't like the optional wheels enough to spend the money. I've attached the window sticker so you can see the options.
 
for 2018 we only got a choice of the thick spoke standard srt wheels or the thinner spoke option...the pics of this 19 build have what was the 18 option as standard I think there are more wheel options for 19 like the brass monkey...So I guess they ditched the standard srt wheels?
 
I wanted and tried to get Brass Monkeys with mine - dealer said they had like a 1-month ordering window in Sep and Oct, and then closed for that option; said he saw a note to dealers saying they would not be offered again for Durango MY19??? so I went with the optional wheels which are basically the same design but black because i didn't want to chance it and wait that it might become available again
