Building upon more than 10 years of low-volume, factory-backed vehicle customization, Mopar today announced a new limited-production vehicle featuring a special-edition package of unique quality-tested, factory-backed performance parts and accessories from the Mopar Custom Shop – the Mopar ’22 Dodge Durango. The new performance SUV, on display Nov. 2-5 in the Mopar booth at the SEMA Show, will arrive in 2022 in conjunction with the 85th anniversary of Mopar. The Dodge Durango continues to demonstrate its proven performance with a combination of uncompromised utility, advanced technology, class-leading towing, confident driving dynamics and iconic styling. With the ability to seat up to seven in its three rows of seats, the Durango maintains its claim of being a family-friendly SUV equipped with Dodge muscle car attitude.
Next year marks the 85th anniversary of Mopar. A simple contraction of the words MOtor and PARts, Mopar offers exceptional service, parts and customer-care. Born in 1937 as the name of a line of antifreeze products, Mopar has evolved over nearly 85 years to represent both complete vehicle care and authentic performance for owners and enthusiasts worldwide. Mopar made its mark in the 1960s during the muscle-car era with performance parts to enhance speed and handling for both on-road and racing use. Later, Mopar expanded to include technical service and customer support, and today integrates service, parts and customer-care operations in order to enhance customer and dealer support worldwide. Available exclusively on the 2022 Dodge Durango R/T AWD with the Plus Group and Tow N Go Package, the Mopar ’22 Durango includes exterior and interior features only available on this limited-production, Mopar-branded performance SUV. Production is limited to 250 units – 200 vehicles for the U.S market and 50 vehicles for Canada.
Inside the driver-oriented cockpit of the Mopar ’22 Durango, exclusive appointments include:
Mopar ’22 instrument-panel badge with serialized build number
Leather and suede front seats wear a two-tone Mopar logo embroidered into the seat backs
Mopar Blue accent stitching in seats, instrument panel, center console and doors
Mopar pedal kit
Mopar all-weather floor mats
Available in DB Black or White Knuckle, the exterior of the Mopar ’22 Durango stands out with exclusive features, including:
Offset asymmetrical Mopar Blue stripe that runs on the driver’s side from the front fascia to the rear fascia
Mopar Blue “Mopar” front grille badge
Mopar Blue “Brembo”-branded brake calipers
The Mopar ’22 Durango is powered by the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI® V-8 engine rated at 360 horsepower and mated to the standard TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. Delivering improved performance is the Tow N Go Package that provides best-in-class towing of 8,700 pounds; an increased top speed of 145 mph; Track, Sport, Snow and Tow drive modes; and a retuned SRT-performance exhaust with an unmistakable iconic Dodge exhaust rumble. The Mopar ’22 is also equipped with Performance Pages, retuned SRT active noise cancellation, electronic limited-slip differential and SRT active damping suspension. Standard 20-by-10-inch “Lights Out” wheels ride on Pirelli tires and provide a menacing look, while a Mopar 1-inch lowering kit delivers improved handling, tighter cornering and quicker response. Each buyer will receive a Mopar ’22 owner kit that features a custom-made, personalized metal certificate of authenticity with serialized vehicle-build number and a special rendering of the vehicle by the Mopar Design team. Dealer orders for the Mopar ’22 Durango will be available in the first quarter of 2022 with vehicles slated to arrive in select Dodge dealerships in the U.S. and Canada in summer 2022.
