I’m surprised they didn’t make the Durango a wide body , due to how popular the wide body look became
I bet it would look sweet too
And redeye
I just think they believe the Durango is already wide enough. It’s not really any good for suvs cause they’re already decently sized
Just my 2 cents
@@nicholasmargagliano1833 agree. If these things were any wider it wouldn’t fit in my garage. 😂
You can get a widebody kit
As of right now, this is in a class of its own. I would go for the RT or the SRT trim and save myself some money and still have an amazing ride.
Hell no not the same I have a 2019 scat but will be buying a 2023 Durango Hellcat 717hp compared to 485hp big difference
@@TownBoSs510 if you can afford it it's probably worth it. Somewhere between 300-500 hp is good enough for my daily need and budget.
I own a R/T Durango and I promise you it’s extremely under powered the SRT or HellCat is the only way to go also the brakes on the R/T are horrible
@@Railroad1204 the tow and go package has SRT brakes I think so there is a way to get an R/T with descent brakes as well as the SRT exhaust.
I was going to order a 2023 Durango Hellcat. It was going to be around $107K fully loaded. That didn’t include tax, registration and fees. I ended up purchasing a grand Cherokee 4xE fully loaded instead.
Great video and thanks
Finally see Ben step on it, yeeeeey!!!
was kind of hoping for a chrysler town and country hellcat or a dart hellcat....but Durango Hellcat is still badass!!!
This would be the hellcat I'd like to buy!!! Prefer the looks of the trackhawk but having 7 seats longer wheelbase makes the Durango hellcat more comfortable which is a big deal to me
Only a 6 seater unfortunately.
@@S8ER they don't have the optional 2nd row bench seat on SRT models?
I have a 2022 durango rt and yes you can choose captains or a 2nd row bench
Yeah but what about the SRT?
@@dor1tomcswagger69 both the Hellcat and SRT Durango seat 6 max as far as I am aware.
Question why it says 2023 dodge Durango hellcat when it’s knot a 2023 the 2023 doesn’t have the hellcat logo ?
My Jeep hemi has around half of that HP and it's still a monster! That thing is a beast!
Great video but I have Quick Correction for you. The 2023 Durango Hellcat isn’t a Last Call vehicle. Only the Challengers and Chargers are “Last Call” for 2023. Durango could be back for 2024 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️. Stay Tuned.
94k ?? Nope. Love the car , not the price
It’s well worth it
@@S8ER For sure! I would pay three times that for this beautiful machine ….😊
@@leedanielson7452 three times more.. that’s tough. I’m almost with you but the Uconnect 5 system sucks so bad at that price I might consider the Urus instead 😂
How about 104 or even higher I’ve seen 118,000
@@coreyruntz1424 highest MSRP is around 107k iirc. I’ve seen them at 130-140k though with dealerships trying to bend people over.
BUSTED ! You reviewed a 2021 Durango Hellcat, not a 2023. Tons of between differences between the 2021 and 2023 especially with the Black Suede interior. If this was a 2023, the Black Suede interior is part of the Base package… which doesn’t have the Carbon Fiber Trim, Harmon Kardon stereo or Red Seat beats. Also , all the 2023s will only have SRT on the seats vs SRT with Hellcat Logo and none will have the Suede Headliner like this 2021… Lastly the 2023 Durango isn’t a “Last Call” vehicle… Only the Challengers & Chargers are “Last Call” with the Engine Bay plaque.
Yeah and 23 probably wouldn’t have 27,000 miles
And the 23 Hellcat does not have a spare and jack we found out after purchasing @@jaredholland6266
That’s not a 23 model. That’s a 21. They don’t offer that interior color configuration in a 23. Plus that thing has 27K miles
The day they will Make a Dodge Durango Hellcat Redeye Widebody with hidden rear wipes I will buy 1 ..
Like an American AMG SUV!!! 😂
Which are the best 392 or??
I’ve got the 21 DSRT , I’d be in serious trouble with that bad boy , so much want though 🔥❤️☺️
Ben is that a base? I thought it only came with red leather. If it is a base are they available to order now?
Thank you
This is a 2021 not 2023 like the title says. 2023 would have red leather, no nice headliner and no Hellcat logos on the seats.
Ben please do review for jeep trackhawk
Wonderful job with my dream vehicle Ben.
Awesome SUV, but the fueling station will be too frequent.
ben can you please do a review on your personal car
Dakota rt hellcat awd redeye would be sick. Non awd hellcat Dakota would be epic
I see where you're going... Nice!
🥱🥱
From the title of the video, I thought it was going to be something different.
Amazing car.
I want this machine
nice like to take one out for a Sunday marning burn outs
The rich guy that bought this Hellcat Durango brand new, did it right. He probably paid $85k - $90k for it, beat the hell out of it for 3 years, and then sold it back to a dealer for probably $75k, before any serious mechanical problems started showing up.
Not a bad deal, considering you get your own personal HOLY-SH1T experience every time you get in the vehicle!
Chunky! Ben says.
Ben, do you know if this dealership charges over MSRP?
I went to 4 dealers ,the first 2 wanted 25 k over, third one wanted 15 over and finally the one I bought mine from wanted 8 k over.sucked but at that point I gave in and took it for 8 over (plus they had my build, just like I was going to order it in stock, color etc) so I jumped on it
Why did you put 2023 in title if it’s a 2021?
Because it’s the same shit he said it in the video.
@@saulperez1484 okay, thanks.
2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat 4 AWD Black Package!
I have regular Durango and it’s the best car I owned.
I think it’s the sexiest looking suv and it’s super comfy and fun to ride. We did 5-6 cross country trips on ours so far. ☺️
I only wish I had gotten v8 so I can tow a few thousands more 😉
The next time we get a Durango it’ll be v8
The v8 will be a more sporty ride
Is the taillight full of water yet?
Video title says 2023 but this was a 2021 model. Was that a typo Ben?
27 k miles definitely a 21
2023 with 27K miles? Damn, I'm jealous of whoever was lucky enough to drive that many miles, in that perfect sleeper SUV? You only live once, so enjoy the ride? Good job.
It’s the 2021 hellcat he’s driving.
It's a 21, the title's deceiving
🔥
That Merc just took off….
Got enough to buy one but can't find them and haven't been able to get information from dealers about them for months and am now being told they're all spoken for. Dodge hasn't given much information on the new colors only that "they are releasing late 23' " and I've gotten convoluted information on the interior options for it. Trying to find and buy a Durango Hellcat has been a shitshow since last year and now i assume I'm going to be unable to get one unless I fly down to a city with big money.
"forged carbon", LOL... what will they think of next? Rich Corinthian Leather perhaps?
😢 I want one so bad
I prefer my Durango over my trx; but both monsters in their own right! 23s besides being more expensive also have pre specd in a way. However you get no rear entertainment option and no hellcat logos in the seats I believe. Great video nonetheless!
They want $94K, that's only slightly more than you can buy a brand new one for. What a steal....
That’s a tough call depending on options. MSRP for 2023 models is way higher so if this was fully optioned it would be 107k at least for a new one.
Go into the back seat, man. You've been in the second row and the driver seat the same amount, if not more. Good stuff, but don't short change us.
This or a TRX?
Trx
Why is the base model so high in price? The 21' was $73K or $77K base model, the TrackHawk was $88K, which made me remember, what the big difference in price was for? The Jeep always looked much better than the Dodge, to me? Much rather have either, than a Yukon or larger SUV for $80K? My house cost me $100K, but told the wife, I could sleep in the sleeper Durango, and sell the house?
Bro the regular 2023 SRT Durango with 475 hp is now starting at 8OK. That’s before dealer mark up. Prices are out of control.
The base MSRP in 2021 was 80k, most were optioned out well so the majority were in the 90s for MSRP. I am a little envious of your house if it was only 100k. Where I am 100k might get you a shed on a small lot, pretty sure I’ve seen trailer homes going for 130-140k.
@@S8ER yup 100 k near me and your living in my garage..Westchester NY sucks for house prices
And the 2023 seats just say SRT
Is that a 2021 ?
Yes
Should not be called a 2023 year review.
That looks like a 2021 not a 2023.I have a 2023 and it does not have the hellcat in the seat.
plus the miles and seat look worn
I wish there was a smaller version of this
So nice to NOT see a turbo 4 banger engine masquerading as a proper powerplant! Nothing beats a juiced V8!
🔥👈
thats a 2021......?
That's misleading it is 2021 model how in the hell it has 27K miles on it and the seats are cracked
The same body style since 2011 over 10 years old charging over $100,000 just because it got a 700 horsepower engine wow😅😅
The 2024 durango hellcat is 100k
Why do all the Durango look the same over the past 5 years with little to no change in appearance?
Would this make sense as an investment? I think not. You have to pay for insurance unless you do cash totally and park it away. Dealer mark up (about 10K) and another 10K for TTL and fees . After 10 years the insurance alone would eat about 50K To make money after 10 years you would have to sell it for 200K. Add another 20% for interest on the loan if you are financing it. Now it added up to 90K over the MSRP So you really need 200K to break even. Worse, such cars will likely be outlawed in 10 years or sooner. This is for guys who just happened to have 100K+ who want to get rid of it in a hurry. Besides you are making all that noise at street light revving the engine and then a Honda Civic from the year 2030 on battery steroids outraces you
Almost everything in the interior is beyond terrible. The back-up camera looks like its from 2009, the leather is already worn and looks 10 years old, the design is till outdated. You're basically just paying for a hellcat engine. Way overpriced!
we have a 2023 model not even a month and its already in repair shop, and dodge mechanics don't even know how to fix it... POS American car
ehh screw your Content , you didn't review the last call & that was a used hellcat cat 🤣
Only difference is a plaque under the hood🥸🥸🥸
@BenHardyCars I wanna see the plaque please 🙏
