Dodge brand is honoring two decades of HEMI-powered Dodge Durango production with the announcement of two special-edition vehicles: the 2025 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Silver Bullet and Dodge Durango R/T 20th Anniversary models. Starting with the 2004 model year, the 5.7L HEMI engine was first offered as an option for the Durango, with full production of the HEMI-powered Durango commencing in 2004. The new special-edition vehicles celebrate the potent combination of the legendary engine and the Dodge brand's three-row performance SUV.  

"The HEMI engine has fueled the Dodge Durango for 20 years, and the supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V-8 HEMI engine option transforms the Durango into the most powerful SUV ever," said Matt McAlear, Dodge brand CEO Stellantis. "The Dodge Durango and the HEMI engine form a powerful pair, and with this announcement, Dodge continues to deliver HEMI power to enthusiasts and families alike."

The interactive Dodge Horsepower Locator tool at DodgeGarage.com will allow customers to identify a nearby dealer with a Dodge Durango special-edition model in stock. Searches can be refined by vehicle color and zip code radius, and the list of available vehicles will be refreshed weekly as dealer allocation is updated.

Available in Triple Nickel exterior color and in a limited-production run, the 2025 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Silver Bullet is outfitted with special appointments that build on a complement of premium standard features for the 2025 Durango SRT Hellcat.
