Yahoo Autos 2024 Dodge Durango gets small changes, small price increases, as Hellcat model continues
Last month, we took the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat for what we called "one last thrill ride." Seems there are a few thrills left in the old girl yet, Dodge announcing the Hellcat-powered model will return for the coming model year at the same time the automaker detailed updates for the 2024 Durango. There's not much happening for next year, perhaps influenced by the mystery of how long the Durango itself has to live; there's been all kinds of speculation about the Durango retiring, or perhaps just the name retiring, or perhaps the Durango becoming a larger SUV and a newly named product taking the current Durango's place.
To the revisions, though. The Citadel trim will be eligible for the Tow N Go Package that's been limited to the R/T trim until now. This combines the hauling bits of the Trailer Tow Group with luxury and performance bits like headlight leveling, an adaptive suspension, SRT performance exhaust, four drive modes, active noise canceling, 20-inch wheels in Pirelli Scorpion Zero tires, Brembo brakes, and a 145-mph top speed. For the 2023 model year, the package costs $5,990. The option increases towing capacity for the four-wheel drive Citadel from 7,400 pounds to 8,700 pounds.
The automaker's also making blind spot monitoring standard equipment across the lineup, and adding Blind Spot Monitoring with Trailer Detect to the Trailer Tow Group.
