Dodge brand is honoring two decades of HEMI®-powered Dodge Durango production with the announcement of two special-edition vehicles: the 2025 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Silver Bullet and Dodge Durango R/T 20th Anniversary models.

Starting with the 2004 model year, the 5.7L HEMI engine was first offered as an option for the Durango, with full production of the HEMI-powered Durango commencing in 2004. The new special-edition vehicles celebrate the potent combination of the legendary engine and the Dodge brand's three-row performance SUV.  

"The HEMI engine has fueled the Dodge Durango for 20 years, and the supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V-8 HEMI engine option transforms the Durango into the most powerful SUV ever," said Matt McAlear, Dodge brand CEO – Stellantis. "The Dodge Durango and the HEMI engine form a powerful pair, and with this announcement, Dodge continues to deliver HEMI power to enthusiasts and families alike."
