I have a 2014 Dodge Durango Citadel which I was going to replace over the next 3 years with a Durango SRT. My 2014 is still going great and looks brand new...when washed, but I was wanting to purchase a Durango with the bigger engine. I so dislike that electric is taking over the car market. Can someone give me an honest reply on when the SRT and hemi will no longer be produced. I don't want to miss out on buying the car I want. Thanks!

Hemi dissapearing?
No one truly knows. Dodge claims that it will be after 2023 but doesn't commit to a year or a date. Get one while you can and you won't miss out.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm thinking it probably is the time to purchase/order. I've always had to order my car because I like everything on it and most lots don't have the exact car I want. It took 6 months for my Citadel to arrive, but it was worth it. I have everything on it but the battery warmer(?). No extras like you though. My family have been buying Chrysler products since the 1930s. I've owned Chryslers, Plymouths, and Dodges. take care
what Tin Foil Hat said but there's more to it. we're dealing with BOTH the HEMI engine going away to some degree AND the current Durango going away and probably being replaced with a BoF (Body on Frame) vehicle.
the current Durango body style is supposed to be here through 2023. no promises after that.
the HEMI in 5.7L and 6.4L variants is a murkier issue. its definitely being phased out to a degree. I don't think anyone knows for sure which versions stay and which go entirely.
to me the short of it is, order a Durango now. get it how you want it and plan on it being the last Durango (as we know it) you can get. I took delivery of my '21 R/T TNG in December and I'm planning on driving it for at least 5-7 years.
but find a dealer who will sell you a factory order for under Dealer Invoice. Koons in VA, Mike Clinnin at Mall of Georgia in Atlanta and there are a few others.

I agree with your "love" of electrics, Cecibud. Globalists have been rigging the game for years, in-favor of electrics only, with zero regard to it's effects on our existing infrastructure. Power grids in snowflake areas of the country are already failing due to increased demand on them locally. Providers have no hope of correcting this as it already is due to over-regulation to the point that their hands are tied. They cannot meet today's demand, much less, these "utopian" fantasies being legislated for. Pure INTENTIONAL insanity IMHO!
But to your question: That's totally up to the near-future market.. Stellantis isn't concerned with anything except car sales when all is said and done. They're in the business to build vehicles people will want to purchase, and for a profit. If sales suddenly drop-off drastically due for whatever combination of "current affairs" factors, the V-8's will disappear sooner than later. I would buy now if so-inclined. Fuel prices, inflation, and environmental terrorism are only going to get worse, (thus, surely increase) imho.

I wonder if Stallantis is dragging their feet on the fate of the Hemi until after the election this fall.
If a certain candidate gets in office all they'd have to do is make a call and Hemis would stop being carbon taxed to death. Which would mean they'd be back in production.
Car companies can see that resale value of electric cars is terrible. They can also see that there's a demand for V8s.

And no demand for electric from the big 3 and they catch fire and they are difficult to charge and they don't hold resale value and Fiat doesn't know if they even want to keep the american manufacturing arm and they can't even sell what's on the lot now and and and.......
when prices of EV's correct for what they are, which are tablets on wheels , and we get a better battery storage capacity, there will be ^ adoption. It will take many more years to increase the charging network. Esp, with renters who don't own a home.Landlords will need to be incentivized to put in the systems.
