Just ordered my Durango Hellcat

I called two local Dodge dealerships today, one who wouldn't sell a Hellcat for under $10k ADM, and the other selling at MSRP. Guess which one I ordered from?

112225


I was given a delivery lead time of about 10 weeks, but we'll see if that'll hold.

Thanks for the link.
The permagrin on his face is hilarious. Really liking the front end more now after seeing it in action.
The DRLs with the integrated amber turn signals is very nice. Of course loving the new dash set up, but why do they insist on black carpet? Shows every speck, drives me nuts, they need to have one the color of dirt.😏 One last thing, it needs bigger wheels and tires because it’s a beast.👹🐈

I’ve owned a challenger SRT 392, well two of them anyway and I love the engine. It’s perfect for daily driver IMO. I’ve had 3 hellcats also with latest sitting in garage for days that are nice and need to be driven properly. I take kids to and from school so I want a suv that’s a muscle car. Boooom SRT Durango. Plus The SRT seats are the beat of any dodge vehicle when it comes to support and having back and spine issues.

I'm hoping to get one or two of them before they're gone! DDSRT and hopefully a Jeep truck with one, if it should happen (though I'd rather have the 5.7 in that).

Wife currently has a '15 Citadel V6; love the vehicle and can absolutely see where a big block would be a blast in a Durango. It's fun to drive as it is.

Been chasing “allocations” for a DDHC here in the SE region for two weeks and as you can imagine I’ve heard just about everything when it comes to real vs. supposed allocations. I generally and politely request to speak with the gsm when I call as they are the folks who are usually “in the know” but even then I’ve yet to get two dealers to report the same details when it comes to the ordering process. One gsm says no Durango’s allocated for the SE region until January and this includes all trim levels. While some dealers had to order their DDHC the very same day they received their allocation or they would have lost it. Lots of retail orders placed but I suspect many were done so w/o a bonified allocation. I’m working with one dealer with a retail order in BA/BG status (tbc tomorrow) who is awaiting confirmation from the regional representative to authorize my proposed changes to the build. I guess we’ll see soon enough. Reminds me of the time when I ordered my Demon (and waited 11 months until delivery)....

I doubt allocations are based on region. I would think they are based on how many years the dealer has been in business and how many cars they sell. But, who knows.
I took about 2 weeks, maybe more, from the point of contacting my salesman to putting the deposit down on my HC. Never once was I rushed or told I could lose the opportunity. I guess I'll find out today if they were able to get the order in. If not, then I'll have to upgrade to the '21 SRT instead. I love the idea of 710HP at my disposal. But won't give in to the greed of some of these dealerships.
