Met with dealer on 12/21 received email with Von and Vin on 12/23.
Must be a generic one off the line.
Touched base with my dealer here in Los Angeles today. 2023 SRT 392 base trim is still not available to order yet.
Getting happier by the day I decided to just keep my '18 and not order a new 392 or Hellcat.
The only way to order the 3rd row delete is to get a base model, which is fine but you give up the leather seats & upgraded interior + no factory tow pkg.
As most anticipated, appears they will make few (if any) base models.
There is no 'real' spare, just the crappy run flats and they ARE crappy !!
You get leather on the 2 upscale versions, but red only + the sunroof (like/want it or not).
Move along, nothing to see here .....................

absolutely no discussion has come out that few or no base models will be built. Rather, it is more likely that Dodge is building trims in a particular order to streamline production.Getting happier by the day I decided to just keep my '18 and not order a new 392 or Hellcat.

Actually, someone from steal-antics did say early on base model builds will be on the bottom of the pile & that it is likely not every order will be filled.absolutely no discussion has come out that few or no base models will be built.

Much depends on just how many of the more expensive ones get ordered & how the parts supply for the options hold up. My bet would be they will build the optioned up ones till they run out of time or parts & then will start on the base builds.

Do you recall where you heard/read that? I’ve been following ‘23 Durango developments extremely closely and do not recall that whatsoever.Actually, someone from steal-antics did say early on base model builds will be on the bottom of the pile & that it is likely not every order will be filled.

I distinctly remember reading it as I was considering ordering a base at the time and it was one of the bits of info that caused me to pullback.Do you recall where you heard/read that? I’ve been following ‘23 Durango developments extremely closely and do not recall that whatsoever.
Can't for the life of me recall who said it or where I ran across it
guess I'm getting old & stupid !
Boy, I will be pissed if after waiting months and months, an order window on the base never opens. My predicament is solely because Dodge has stupidly made the red seats mandatory on the higher trims. Had they given us a choice on black, I'd have had a Premium trim on order back in October...I distinctly remember reading it as I was considering ordering a base at the time and it was one of the bits of info that caused me to pullback.

My dealer already has two "base" GT's sitting on his lot. Both only have two options listed, which is pretty base to me anyway.
We’re talking about the SRT 392, with which the base model has not been made available to order yet.My dealer already has two "base" GT's sitting on his lot. Both only have two options listed, which is pretty base to me anyway.
Oooops , sorryWe’re talking about the SRT 392, with which the base model has not been made available to order yet.
Okay, if you’re not seated, please do so before continuing and take a deep breath. Now one may or may not believe this story but every shred of it is true. And I sincerely hope by spotlighting this anomaly, I do not jinx the process. The order was placed Dec. 27 ’22, went into production Feb. 6 ’23 with an EDD of Mar. 18. This information comes from my tracking the progress on-line via the dodge portal and accompanying text alerts from same. This being the third new (ordered) vehicle purchased from this dealer in as many years, I was stunned and amazed when I answered the phone and was greeted by my salesman, Brian. He says “I just wanted to touch base and let you know your SRT is in JS status.” After regaining my composure, I thanked him during a brief conversation that ended with, “you’re welcome and feel free contacting me anytime.” Now I’m 65, been through a lot of cars and dealerships, internationally and domestic, and this has NEVER happened! Maybe he found Jesus, who knows? Pics to follow…

They haven't released any SRT 392s or Hellcats yet from the factory. Most likely a quality hold of some sort. However, it looks like the first Durango Hellcat was released into the wild but that one was a Corporate "Fast Feedback" unit and not a private order.. Maybe the hold has been lifted though.
You are 100% correct. Just got the report, my SRT 392 is complete and also Shipped to Storage (JS). Projected Shipping Date is Feb 25th. Projected arrival at the dealer still sometime in the first half of March.They haven't released any SRT 392s or Hellcats yet from the factory. Most likely a quality hold of some sort.
