Durango Hellcat VIN

[Hellcatguy]

Ordered a 2021 Durango Hellcat a few days ago and received the VIN already! My 3 previous SRT's the delivery wasn't consistent. 6 weeks for my 1st. 8 weeks for my second and 12 weeks for my 3rd. So it should be interesting to see how long it takes to get the vehicle delivered. Any ideas for the Durango Hellcat?

I ordered on Nov 6, VIN received not long after. News has been almost nonexistent since. Latest update from Dodge Cares rep was production slated to start lat Q1 '21. I don't know if that is accurate or not. Frustrating!

Production started today, feb 4

Thats good news! Now from production start date we will see how long it takes for delivery.

Mine said shipping 02/13. It didn't ship yesterday as far as I know. I'm 3 hours from Detroit, I'd gladly go pick it up!

Glad you have a date, fingers crossed.

What do you think so far?

What do you think so far?

It's loud, and I'm talking about inside the cabin. Certain gears are louder and drown out the radio. Speaking of radio I'm unimpressed with the HK upgrade. My '18 RT radio wasn't much different (Beats radio). It does ride very nice, not stiff at all in auto mode. I've resisted hammering the gas pedal so far, only ~75 miles so far.

I agree about the HK, it's sucked in both my Trackhawks. Funny enough the HK in my old Challenger sounded great and had tons of bass, the HK in my Ram sounds really good in the mids and highs and is making bass. My Trackhawk splits both down the middle bass wise but the rest of it sounds like crap.

The first time you launch that thing you're going to have a huge smile on your face though.
