OK, this is now getting into the stupid phase... This week I am starting into the 5th month of my wait for a scheduled production date for my 2022 DDSRT. I have contacted my dealer, SRT customer support, and Dodge Cares. The response from everyone has been yep you are still in "D" waiting for your DD to be scheduled for production. At this point, I think it is the continued parts shortages that are keeping my DD from getting built. If I get kicked into the 23 model year I will consider canceling my order.
WVH:
I had heard that Durango production will be moving away from JNAP to another plant where the Jeep Wagoneers are being built. I understand the D is shifting to be able to share the JW platform for '23.
Actually, it will be the 24 Model year for the DD, The current platform will be built at JNAP through the first two quarters of 2023. Production will then shift to MACK Assembly where the new Jeeps are being built. After the two months shut down in March production of the WK Jeep Grand Cherokee ended at JNAP.
I think a good number of owners here went thru this early on.
Just have to wait it out. Have you tried checking dealer inventory to see if anything is available that has the options you're looking for?
I really want what I want LOL... That is why we placed a factory order. I just don't understand the 5 month wait and still no scheduled production date???
When My dad ordered his '69 Town and Country (a couple weeks before announcement), the dealer put in the order on an actual Teletype.
And the next day the dealer got a message on that same teletype saying that one item on the order (I forget what it was) would delay the order two months.
Would be nice to have that level of information with the amazing systems we have 50 years later /s
When the HC was built (a priority build, probably one of the first on the line). It sat forever. (also covered in winter salt/oxidation, as a floridian and ex-IL - made me cringe. 🤣 )
Got our new DD RT+ pretty much on the schedule our dealer told us in March, assembled on a Tuesday mid June, delivered to the dealer around July 7th, really like the 8 speed tranny, adaptive cruise is handy going thru highway construction zones, skipping the steering wheel jerk too near white lines for now, no OEM splash guards, but found some made for the vehicle on ‘ZL1 addons’.
I feel your pain brother... ordered the first vehicle in early February, arrived mid March. One tiny problem, it was an RT and we ordered an RT Plus. No big deal, reordered March 17, picked it up yesterday. Took the long way home and couldn't stop smiling the whole time.
So I just received the latest Hemmings Muscle Machines magazine and open it up to find this ad.
Mind you, I have been receiving this subscription for years, and this is the first time Dodge placed an ad in the magazine for a Durango (that I can remember).
I find it interesting that the Dodge Marketing Department forked out cash on a 2-page ad when you can’t even obtain one. Maybe ad space is bought and committed many months in advance?

So, you won't be happy with me but...my 22 DD RT was stolen in a shopping mall in March. I called my insurance company and then my dealer. He said that they will look around and try to find one. Ya right. A week went by and nothing from them. I called another dealer and they said that they had a DD RT plus with Tow n GO on their lot. Exactly what I wanted and more. So I drive 5 hours to the dealer and picked it up. The moral of the story is that if you want something so bad, get get it yourself! In other words, try all dealers around you to see if they have it on their lot, then go get it.

Well if it is what you want, I would give it some time or you will make someone else very happy. I got lucky on my Mopar 22 because a customer got tired of waiting for his order, so there is that perspective. Whoever that person was had good taste
Our SRT actually arrived at Koon's early last week. On the Dodge site the ETA has changed from 01/21/23 to 01/28/23 to now TBD. The Dodge site is goofy to say the least...
