2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Freedom Long-Term Test Intro It’s perhaps a bit ironic that Jeep has Ford to thank for at least one sale. Last summer’s media blitz surrounding the coming release of the still-coming Bronco stirred a latent yearn within the soul of my wife. A winter vacation to an RV park in Florida had her thinking aloud about the joy of driving topless (the Jeep, you pervs), while an oft-delayed home refinance freed up a good portion of our paychecks. The result – t...

Hennessey is preparing to give the three-row SUV a 1,000-hp upgrade. Last week, we watched the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat put the Lamborghini Urus to shame. In two out of three drag races, the Durango made the Urus look slow. Granted, the Durango has more horsepower under the hood, but its also a lot heavier since it offers three rows of seats and is also over $100,000 cheaper than the Italian super SUV. In stock form, the Durango SRT Hellcat is powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 producing 7...

No problem, the Mopar people have you covered with the scale destroyers that are the 2021 Ram 1500 TRX and the Dodge Durango Hellcat. 6 photos When it comes to a drag race between the super-truck and the uber-SUV, the only question that needs to be asked is "why not?". After all,...

Dodge Something that might have started as a joke in a Dodge meeting has transformed into one of the most interesting series of cars to ever come from the brand. With nothing off the table for potential 6.2-liter supercharged V8 Hellcat treatment, the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat was only a matter of time. This ridiculously fun crossover joined the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk in the greater Chrysler-Jeep family of Hellcat-powered SUVs. With the power of a Dodge Challenger Hellcat, three-rows of...

Dodge Garage reports that if a dealer has a “sold” order in the system, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will be much obliged to ramp up production. 60 photos “Any time you launch a limited-production vehicle and plan to build fewer units than the number of dealers across the country, you risk leaving a lot of custo...

Automotive YouTube channel Throttle House is back at it again with quite possibly the most combined output of any drag race they’ve run yet. They’ve decided to pit the Lamborghini Urus that starts from $218,000 against two of America’s fastest SUVs, the $88,365 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, and $80,995 Dodge Durango Hellcat in a series of drag and roll races to see which is the true king. All three have 8 cylinders and all-wheel drive; where they differ is in their specs. The Lamborghini...

But the guys at Throttle House took things a little further as they brought the third car into the equation, making things just a bit more exciting. 10 photos For some people, it may be hard to keep up with all the information regarding the fast SUVs available on the market today.

2. All-Wheel-Drive Traction Like the Charger and Challenger, the Durango Hellcat packs a 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8 under the hood, sending 710 horsepower through an eight-speed automatic transmission. But unlike its siblings that send their grunt to the rear wheels only, the Durango benefits from all-wheel-drive grip. Managing a Charger or Challenger Hellcat on a public road is terrifying, and in the rain, they may as well be driving on a frozen lake. The Durango is a completely different ...

The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Is the Best Hellcat Yet Mack Hogan © Mack Hogan The Durango is not only the most powerful SUV in its class, its the most engaging, too. The Challenger and Charger Hellcats have never been sports cars. That wasn’t even the idea. Too old, too heavy, too plush to ever be considered in the category.
