During this year’s SEMA show in Las Vegas, Dodge displayed a bright blue Durango concept named the Durango Shaker. It included Dodge’s 6.4-liter V8 and a shaker-style hood scoop, in addition to a three-inch lower flight height, 22-inch black wheels, and hollowed-out fog lights obtained from the Challenger Hellcat. And while many SEMA concepts are absolutely nothing more than concepts, the Dodge Durango Shaker may in fact be going towards production.
A report notes that the favorable response to the Shaker concept has actually led Dodge’s parent business FCA to really think about constructing it. Probably, the 3 rows of sports seats obtained from the Dodge Viper would not make it to production, however Dodge manager Tim Kuniskis informed that “because of the response, we have chosen that we need to take a look at it. When we took it to SEMA it was never ever a consideration”.
Reporters have been hearing the reports for a while that Dodge at least has plans for a Durango SRT. Presently, the most effective Durango you can get is the 360-horsepower Durango R/T. And while it’s absolutely not slow, it’s a far from the SUV, 475-horsepower Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT. If Dodge did devote itself to developing a Durango SRT, including the alternative for a shaker hood like it provides on the Challenger would likely be fairly simple.
Kuniskis does, although have issues about overall sales. While he informed the that Dodge could do it, it’s still not a certainty. “I stress over demand since SEMA attracts attention of an absolutely different purchaser,” he stated. “So something that gets excellent attention at SEMA does not always indicate it will be a success in the general market.”
We can hope that Dodge shall at least discover a market for the Durango SRT, if not the Durango Shaker. For knowing more about any future plans of Dodge Durango Shaker, we will have to wait till from now till the spring of 2017.
