Hellcat Durango aka WD21 will soon go into production at JNAP. We have already began running pilot parts and running test. The pics I posted above is how the front fascia will look on the Durango Hellcat
Your pictures are a bit disappointing. The parts aren't even mounted on a vehicle and the shop doesn't look like a place parts would be tested.
Those may very well be the new front fascia for the HD but not very convincing.
you right this could all be a hoax ???
 
Pictures posted by DodgeJeepBuilder show a front fascia without the extra air scoop directly above the front bumper cover . . . different from SRT or R/T. Hard to believe they would drop that design "language" from the top-of-the-line performance model, especially since it just made an appearance on the WB Chargers. So, either a new fascia for HD, or simply the new fascia every Durango is going to get in the 2021 facelift. Hard to tell at this point.

I can definitely believe those pictures were taken at JNAP, though.
 

The problem I see with these pictures you posted of a front fascia you say are going on the new Hellcat powered Durango is that they have fog lights with a very small vent below the fog lights.

If you look closely, you will notice that the Challenger Hellcat, Charger Hellcat and the Jeep Trackhawk do Not have fog lights.

That is because that area is used for cooling. But what do I know. :rolleyes:

??? So I’m just punch & welding fascias for fun in my garage.... ok. Plus I built a Electrical Outlet Tester to test my 1 off fascia just for shits and giggles. Yeah you right.

It’s gonna take you a long time to make 5000 of those things?...?.???? You must be some type top secret insider or something, whoooa..
 
Looks like the pictures @DodgeJeepBuilder posted.

Hmm I wonder where they came from? lol
 
FCA pushes the GC more than the DD cuz Jeep carries the higher premium for cost. So it makes sense. Only time you hear about a DD is when they show it on the Dodge commercials for Power Dollars or muscleville. Not like they actively promote the DD as they do the charger and challenger.
I would disagree. Jeep doesn't promote the SRT or TrackHawk models at all! At least you see the SRT Durango in commercials. When's the last team you saw a Jeep commercial that included the SRT or TrackHawk?

Dodge newest F9 commercial not only shows the Durango, but gives us a glimpse of the Hellcat powered Durango.
 

  1. Ya, that’s what I’m reading too.
The problem with the TrackHawk is that Jeep made it to be a straight-line beast! But as a sports SUV, it's no good. Even AutoWeek stated the SRT Jeep was a better track vehicle than the "TrackHawk". If Dodge is simply going to build a straight line demon with the Durango it will suffer the same sales slump the Jeep does.

The Jeep and presumably the Durango Hellcat power vehicle, is and will be grossly overpriced. Seriously, how can Jeep justify a almost $20k premium for the TrackHawk over the SRT model? The Hellcat crate engine has a $20K msrp and can be purchased for $16K online. These are retail numbers, this is not what it cost FCA. It's like there's no value for the SRT engine they are replacing? The math doesn't add up, and it doesn't make economical sense. There is no way to justify the price (IMHO).

That's why I ended getting the 2020 SRT Durango and walked away from the TrackHawk.

Y’all see my pics on moparinsider, just wait til April.... it’s a beautiful truck. They made the vents on the upper grille, lower grille, and light vents bigger for cooling. the vents are much bigger than the one on the SRT WD(Durango) and SRT WK(Grand Cherokee). Here is a couple more pics of the inside of the fascia. Enjoy guys. You seen it here first.

It will make No difference to me or a lot of others if the price is on par with the Trackhawk.

There are not a lot of folk willing to pay $90K for a Hellcat powered 3rd row SUV that will lose $20K in depreciation in the first year. lol
