We’ve been lucky enough to own two DDs, so honestly, there’s not much to complain about. That said, if I really had to nitpick the OE setup, I think one thing they could’ve improved is offering a front-facing camera. I get that the higher ride height probably made it seem unnecessary, but still—it would’ve been a nice addition. If I could wave a magic wand and add one factory option, that’d definitely be it.

 

That the U connect has a sub woofer volume, RCA outputs front rear center, sub, in the rear remote power wire and 4 Gauge + and - . Call it the audio enthusiast mod charge $500 for it there cost would probably be $25.

 

A tail light that doesn't leak!

 

THIS +1,000,000

The other thing I was going to say was.... Have an SRT or Hellcat in model year 2014 . I would have paid cash back then... now, its not so simple

 

Redeye model for the Hellcat SRT.

Shaker hood for the SRT 392, this was even provided on their Mopar show version, but never produced.

Retain vice white exterior color, and add exterior colors other than regular white + shades of grey and black.

More individual options, I wanted the tow package with my SRT but it wasn't offered in the configuration I selected.

Mopar upgrades for coilovers, exhaust, cold air intake, carpet, mud flaps, even rear carpet, instead they gave it all to the aftermarket.

Daytime navigation theme on UConnect would be nice.

 

I would make it 1969 again and get a Hemi RoadRunner. I know, off topic.

 

Family member has several old school redone mopars , across the board and yes 👍 even hemis 👍 👍 I feel ya

 

better pricing because it is not a luxury SUV, but priced close to that genre..

 

Before covid they were fairly reasonable on the lower end. I ordered a 2020 SXT with tow package for like $32000 . After covid they just went in to greed mode with all their pricing .

 

Yeah, 360 view, front camera would be a nice addition to front sensors. I'd like a hybrid version...ala BMW X5. The ZF hybrid trans is very nice

 

Yeppers, IMO it does kinda seem the ole 360 view is pretty common these days on a lot of autos.

 

Reiterating what @mrd00dman said: A Redeye version of the Hellcat would be sensational!

 

A two (2) row version. My second request would be an ALL gray interior (not a black interior with gray seat inserts). And a third would be additional exterior color choices (light and medium colors). And lastly, keep the 5.7L V8.

 

I have a 2 row 2020 SXT . Back then you could order a DD without third row to save some money . With two rows you have immense luggage area .

 

I'm all for a beige or brown interior, and not just on the seat fronts.

 

Hamsquatch and others:
As long as cameras on the DD is being talked about, I am a first time owner, and the one thing I would have changed is the placement of the rear camera. I recently purchased a 2" receiver bike carrier. It aligns perfectly in front of the camera. This means a loud, steady alarm backing up. But not just that. The auto brake engages, too, close to offering a broken neck, as your head snaps!
I don't like saying this, because the Durango has been great so far with me being 99% happy with it (without the bike rack on.) Hopefully, I don't get this pulling my travel trailer soon.

 

You could turn it off in the options .

 

Thanks! I'll check into that. Didn't know I had that option without turning off the backup camera also.

 

Definitely a Hellcat Redeye version, front headlights w/LED’s that last longer than 50K. Rear racetrack lights that last and don’t leak. 360 degree camera and in the FUconnect, I would like a feature like my Chevy truck had at work. Once you hooked your trailer up, there was an option on the screen to put the lights in a test sequence. You could then step outside in back of your trailer, and watch the lights work. Something that seems would have been pretty easy to program into the FUconnect software. And back to the days of 2021 when you could order your Durango with color choices and real individual options.

 

2021 , back when you could get a new SXT for $32000 with the tow group . Now the cheapest DD is like $41000 .

 

Nah, just a Hemi Roadrunner please, I'm old school and have never had one. With 4 speed, buckets and console, fresh air hood and probably in TorRed.

 

Make it so you could actually do maintenance on the ZF designed 8 speed autos and not have it cost a fortune . Most dealers wont touch it because it is "lifetime" fluid. What BS .

 

My suggestion would be to add the hatch window on the hatchback like the pre-2014 Jeep GC's had. It was nice to be able to access and pack stuff in the rear of the hatch without opening the hatchback door.

 

Lifetime MaxCare warranty. And a tail light that doesn’t leak and/or that is covered under said warranty when it does leak.

 

Yes, maybe a front and rear dash cam option as well as the rear quater windows that open for the 3rd row passengers.

 

A transmission + transfer case dipstick or a way to know when they're full or need to be filled from the HUD.

Bolt on bushings not pressed in. This would make maintenence a DIY procedure.

Stop all feature development in uConnect + only address bugs for 2-3 years.

Middle row bench seat and captain seats should be interchangeable.

There should be a way to access the fuel tank from inside the cabin to replace fuel pumps is they go bad. Being forced to remove the driveshaft and drop the tank to replace fuel pumps is a stupid design.

 

Give us a compact spare option for the Tow & Go and SRT that fits inside the car below the cargo area.

 

I hear ya brother, and I was kinda conflicted on it, but finally reasoned some peace after a little whiskey one night LOL.

Initially I was all "I'd love to have a spare and be able to choose from all the awesome choices out today in regular (non run-flat) offerings". But honest story here - shortly after we got our TNG, I suffered a nail in the sidewall, and I can't convey how blessed and amazed and fortunate I was in being able to simply add a little air and drive her to the dealer the next day to get it fixed, no fuss no muss. We had happened to get the OE tire and wheel coverage added with the extended warranty, so it was a total freebee, but that's another topic ya'll probably don't want me flapping my jaws about LOL.

Also, I too was one of the souls that got the little MOPAR air inflator with the oil filter looking tire goop in our previous Scats, and it just kinda made me feel weird about the whole process and its potential temporary success for limping back vs calling a tow, and the potential dealer clean up on TPMS parts etc.(I trust no one to do anything right LOL). I mean, I was thankful to have it, but it seemed really weird.

Anyhoo, as we're getting older, my wife and I both agreed we're just gonna stick with and embrace the whole run-flat school of thought, especially since her ride has em too. In my mind, as a grown a$$ man I think it's a PITA at best and maybe disaster at worst when I encounter one. I don't even wanna think about my wife ever suffering one when out by herself. My only wish on that front is that more manufacturers start to come out with more A/S super performance run-flats in the DD TNG/392/HC size and specs. And it's not cause I dislike the OE Pirellis, but rather hope that a more competitive market might lower prices on em a bit.

 

I usually don’t like these “could have’ would have” discussions but I will add to the already credible list of dreams…. It’s not like Dodge Cares will submit a report to corporate. LOL

I wish for an SRT with a $60-65k price point and bench rear seats.

 

6 speed manual transmission.

 

Since I own a '14 V6 AWD the biggest gripes have eventually been fixed; rotary knob for gear selector (fixed in '18, can be updated) and the Eco setting default on every restart (fixed in '15). Others include leaky tail lamp, capless gas filler (back date to '11-13 setup), leaky radiator, leaky coolant system (Dorman fixed most of that), V6 rockers (may have finally fixed those by '19), lack of simple rear mechanical LSD, part time transfer case with the V6 engine (although it has its own issues), air ride suspension (hey if the JGC has it, why not the Durango?), front ride height too low (aftermarket fix and factory fixed in'16), cheap thin leather seat covers (aftermarket fix), integrated trailer brake system (fixed in '19?), power folding outside mirrors (did they ever truly become available ?).

 

Bring back: lockable fuel door with remote release, fog lamps option, day/night auto-switching Uconnect display scheme.

 

As @PhilB already mentioned, a tail light that is properly sealed, AND a reliable water pump!

 

Seven seats in the SRT.
