It also turns out the new I-6 runs on premium gas requirement.I'm looking forward to the Hurricane I-6, but just PLEASE don't make it UGLY like the Jeep.
The Hurricane standard output can run fine on regular fuel. It is not required. The H.O. requires premium.It also turns out the new I-6 runs on premium gas requirement.
My experience with turbos and regular gas is typically not a problem when specified. When it's in the 90's + out and towing, premium is the way to go. Regular will cause timing to pull back quite a bit under those conditions and performance suffers a bit. Everyones situation (weather and altitude) is different. During towing season I alternate octanes at half tank fills to achieve around 90 octane.The Hurricane standard output can run fine on regular fuel. It is not required. The H.O. requires premium.
maybe "tropical depression"
seriously. what is the deal with the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer? that's the best styling they could come up with? does absolutely nothing for me.I'm looking forward to the Hurricane I-6, but just PLEASE don't make it UGLY like the Jeep.
So, I guess that shoots the rumor in the head, that 23 would be the last DD?Dealer told me the next gen DD will be based on Jeep Grand Wagoneer, which is obviously a larger vehicle with a standard 6.4L V8. He said it will be toned down some, luxury-wise, to come in lower than the $90k starting price on the JGW.
Has anyone else heard these rumors or have any updates on the future for the DD?

I drove a new Wagoneer with the no power I6. Got passed by a Yugo.I'll have to look at that article. Thanks!
I test drove a new Wagoneer with the I6. Got passed by a Yugo.The Wagoneer is out now with the I-6, recently got a good review from Motor Trend. I can see how it could be the next Durango. 400+hp, 10k lb towing.
Last of the current generation. After the death of the Challenger/Charger/Ram Classic it was initially assumed '23 may be the last. But with the Wagoneer starting at $60, Dodge needs something to compete with the Tahoe/Expedition/Sequoia with body-on-frame and increased towing capability. So might as well make a lower priced Wagoneer-based Durango. We'll see if it appears this Fall or drags into 2025.So, I guess that shoots the rumor in the head, that 23 would be the last DD?
All I know is replacing the Hemi with this turkey is giving me depression!HaHa calling a 400 HP motor a hurricane
Too bad that don't make a V6 Hurricane. It's a slant 6 with a starboard list!Part of the reason why I went with the Durango was I wanted Comfort, performance and styling. I have always liked the current generation DD from day one. Last call on the V8's was 2023 so I was not sure if that was going to translate into the Durango or not. Decided that I was not going to take the chance to wait until 2024 and miss out on a V8, since the Jeep Grand Cherokee is seemingly Not available with the V8. We drove a Grand Cherokee Summit 6 Cyl and was underwhelmed with the performance, the Macintosh Stereo was really amazing tho, it had the massage seats which I found to be too firm and realized it would be uncomfortable in the long run. We learned a long time ago, the more buttons, knobs, adjustments, a drivers seat had the worse it sat. I drove a Durango R/T and liked the seats best out of all of the cars I test drove, Tried Ford, Buick, Cadillac. Went on a whim to drive an SRT to rule it out and was blown away, decided I was going to do it right. I would consider a V6 500 HP Hurricane Durango tho (in current trim).
