The roll out has been a real sh%t show, their doesn't seem to be any order to it. Stripes no stripes. Light color, dark color. When the vehicle was ordered.

For all you guys in my boat waiting for the base trim SRT 392 to become available for BTO, I just received a response to a message I sent to Dodge inquiring as to when the order banks will open:
“The 2023 Dodge Durango SRT model vehicle is noted as a late availability configuration. Ordering for this configuration has not yet opened and we would be unable to speculate on future order timing.”
that’s all they gave me…

Thanks for the update!

She did arrive! I got a few pictures but was down there today. Got the deal done. They are putting new plates on and doing an undercoating on it so I wont pick her up officially until tomorrow. Here are some brief pictures. The chrysler next to it is what i traded in

It has been know that if the surface is not properly prepped or if the coating isn't applied correctly, water can get between the surface and coating. Or the coating can block body drain holes.
WE had our Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT for 10 years and it was my wife's DD and saw plenty of salt in that 10-year time period. It was garage kept and I was religious about keeping it clean even in the winter. There was zero rust on the under side when we traded it in.
Received a call today from my dealer salesman that the order bank had opened for the base model 2023 DD SRT 392!
I went down there to order it in Vapor Gray. Unfortunately (for me) only the 2022 colors could be ordered - Destroyer Gray, white, red, black. I asked the manager to confirm that he was looking at the 2023 colors. Yes.
I walked out.

What the heck??? Just like 2022, no lightweight package even though it is listed on the option sheet.

Okay, peeps who have been waiting to order the SRT 392 in base trim with the black seats, my guy at Shaver Dodge in Thousand Oaks, California says the order banks will open up on Monday. He got this info from corporate. I intend to call him, and if true, go in to place an order for a Destroyer Gray SRT with Blacktop Package, Lightweight Performance Package and the Pirelli P Zeros. Will let you all know if it happens.
^^This, plus, IMO:
1) As a general rule, any "dealer add-ons" or coatings are a waste of time and money. Undercoating is probably the biggest offender.
2) Undercoating on modern vehicles does NOTHING except make a friggin mess out of the bottom of the car, and makes it harder and messier to work on. And even smellier as the crap burns off the exhaust and other hot surfaces.
3) Overspray could get on your paint; they do not have master technicians applying that crap.
4) These are just some of the reasons why Rusty Jones went out of business years ago.
5) What sales pitch did they give you for it? It's all bullshit. It will not prevent serious corrosion (if anything it could give you warranty issues if you ever have a corrosion claim, which is unlikely anyway). It will not make the cars quieter on gravel road. It will do nothing except make some money for the dealer. It is garbage.
Have you seen the bottom of a Durango SRT or HC? Lots of pretty aluminum parts (and plastic parts), which will needlessly get covered with tar. OK, it's the bottom and nobody cares, until you want to get under there to change oil or do other maintenance.....
Damn...so we did get bamboozled. When I ordered my 2023 in late November, all the local dealers (Northern Virginia) assured me that they had limited allocations and were going to sell every single one (well I spoke to about 4 dealers; 2 of them told me that their allocations were all sold already, and the other 2 were looking for well above MSRP). I negotiated down to MSRP, and felt like I got a deal. If they are now accepting orders for base models....there must be allocations left.....:-(
I think once they had sufficient orders to make the more profitable high optioned models their attention is now on looking at available parts inventory and cleaning out these part bins. If I was in charge of the P&L and my bonus was tagged to getting the most out of what I had to work with this is what I would be doing. Remember, this is it for JNAP, they would really like to have as much gone as possible before they turn off the lights sometime the week of 12/22/2023.

sadly from personal experience dealers will tell you whatever it takes to sell a vehicle in the moment..it is up to you to discern the truth...ie when to order what..
Wait.....you....you mea...mean that car dealers are not buyer's advocates, with an ethical obligation to act in the buyer's best interests and to give them the best possible deal????
