The Final Dodge V8 SUV is Actually Selling—Durango hits 20-year peak as bean counters prepare the guillotine
Dodge moved more Durangos in 2023 than any year since 2004, proving there's still hunger for pushrod V8s in three-row form. The WD platform's 5.7L HEMI is getting its swan song, and dealers can't keep them on the lot. This is what happens when you let something die—suddenly everyone wants one.
The Durango's sales spike isn't a comeback story. It's a fire sale on the last V8 SUV before the accountants win.
