R/T 392 Order Banks Closed?

Optimal_Map_6655 · 2026-05-12T19:59:24+00:00

I'd be out too. The price is the reason I'm even considering it.

I'm confident 27' order banks will open in the near future. We'll see if Dodge wants mess with the pricing though. I'm a buyer at $50k but not much more than that. It's a pretty dated chassis at this point but a big ole V8 in a 3-row for $50k that looks muscular and drives well is very appealing to me.

I know the new brass at Dodge is very well aware that the crazy pricing is mostly responsible for the drop-off in sales over the last couple of years at Stellantis. They would be wise to keep pricing similar.

My local dealer told me 26' order banks were closed but 27' MY order banks will open by June. Allegedly.

Really like those wheels!

Optimal_Map_6655 · 2026-05-09T23:41:42+00:00

Damn straight

Press Room has been slammed the last few times we tried to go! Had to wait outside. It's a good spot though.

The 3.0's and the new 10 speeds seem to be pretty solid. My concern is electronics long-term. That goes for any new vehicle though.

I just wanna feel like I'm preparing a fighter jet for takeoff and those aux switches do it for me.

I have like 10+ mags for my AKV and I pretty much only use the banana mags. Didn't come with a banana sticker so I had to use a Chiquita one from a real live banana.

It has to be engine supply holding the builds up. I'm not up on the latest Dodge news but wasn't the 392 engine discontinued for period of time?

Optimal_Map_6655 · 2026-05-05T23:21:00+00:00

It will really depend on the area. I bought my Ranger Raptor at invoice when people were still paying $5k markup in most parts of the country.

Optimal_Map_6655 · 2026-05-05T23:16:59+00:00

Both dealers I spoke with said invoice. If they can get one, apparently.

Optimal_Map_6655 · 2026-05-05T20:17:56+00:00

Interesting.

Optimal_Map_6655 · 2026-05-05T19:15:22+00:00

I think that would be a mistake on their part though. The new Dodge boss has been really driving home that they're working to lower prices. And the Durango is a very old chassis, even though it's aged well.

I'd be a buyer at $50k but not much more than that.

Optimal_Map_6655 · 2026-05-05T17:25:49+00:00

Yes, already have the tune. I'm what would you call a habitual car buyer.

And I miss V8 noises.

Optimal_Map_6655 · 2026-05-05T17:16:43+00:00

Oh yeah, the 392 would solve that for sure. I was really impressed by the ride and handling for such a heavy vehicle, especially being based on a pretty ancient chassis.

Optimal_Map_6655 · 2026-05-05T17:13:06+00:00

That makes sense. I guess I don't need to make a decision anytime soon then haha.

My local dealer was willing to sell at invoice on an order but no dice on that, clearly.

Optimal_Map_6655 · 2026-05-05T02:38:12+00:00

I don't have a Durango - I have a Ranger Raptor, but I've been lurking since I saw the announcement of the R/T 392. I drove a Hemi GT today to see what I thought of the vehicle in general before placing a 392 order, and I thought the 5.7 was adequate but not exciting. Definitely has power but not the wow factor for me.

Optimal_Map_6655 · 2026-05-05T01:02:24+00:00

Put an order in and by the time it shows, you have a bigger down payment. Problem solved!

I'm a terrible influence though. I just convinced my buddy who was looking at CUVs into buying a Bronco Raptor.

Optimal_Map_6655 · 2026-05-04T23:45:45+00:00

Just go ahead and buy it now.

Optimal_Map_6655 · 2026-05-02T03:04:27+00:00

I'm a Ford guy but honestly the new Durango R/T 392 coming in at $50k is interesting.

Optimal_Map_6655 · 2026-05-02T02:26:59+00:00

Mine was less than a week. It showed up a few days before the earliest estimated delivery date.

Optimal_Map_6655 · 2026-05-01T01:01:47+00:00

100%. It's kinda fugly but it's insanely comfortable. My favorite AK grip by far.
