No SRT.

Lots of new technology and an entirely new electrical architecture. New front and rear fascias. Same technology as was introduced in the 2014 Grand Cherokee.

Production, I believe starts in June.

Any Ideas when it will debut??

Late August for production launch, don't know when they will unveil it, maybe NY but that may be a bit early.

Do you know if there is any truth of talk to the possibility of a RHD version of the Durango with the updated one?

The new "electrical architecture"---how different will it be? Will components from a 2012 or 2013 have a completely different wiring harness and connectors than this new one to the point where a certain module or sensor wouldn't be cross compatible? I guess what I'm getting at is if in a few years I wanted to try and stab a ZF 8 speed from a '14 JGC/Durango into my '12 Durango, none of the connectors or wiring harness would be compatible between the 2 electrical "architectures"?

My guess is that they would be different enough to prevent any simple swapping.

Found a guy who built his own "SRT" converted Durango:

Allright Mr. Gilles and SRT gurus, can we have a production SRT Durango please.....? I'd trade my R/T in tomorrow for one if given the chance.

 

[marlon_jbt]

Um, where's the pics of the engine?

 

[suzq044]

Engine shot would be cool - but .. nice mods otherwise; It'd probably look better in the opposite paint-scheme, IMO.. black with red accent/stripes.

 

[UN4GTBL]

Interesting.

Definitely want to see an engine bay picture as well.

You dug up an old thread just to reply to a message from January???

At the time there was no SRT in the pipe at the assembly plant level.

In other words, no reason to be snarky

I would lime to see the 3.0 VM diesel in the next Durango but if I remember correctly it sems that will not happen. Maybe after a few model years....

And as we speak, still no sign of a Durango SRT in the pipeline...

The pipe...is clogged...

If it's something they're just looking at in the proposal stage, it wouldn't be in the pipeline. It wasn't in the 2012 plan. Wouldn't a new SRT proposal work like this?

1) Initial proposal with cost/benefit analysis ("business case")
2) If approved, attempt to work something up / see if it can be done
3) Revised proposal with more accurate cost/benefit analysis
4) If approved, goes into official pipeline

I would assume so... And even if it was theoretically in the pipeline it would be 2015-2016 before we would see the fruit IMHO.
