What Comes Next for Dodge & Ram? - 2026 Dodge Durango, 2027 Ram Dakota, Hurricane Challenger, & MORE

[@bluecollarbuilds]

So in other words we’re back in the 80s

[@MarspeedCars]

Seems like it 😭😭

[@hunteriggy2762]

​@MarspeedCars so is dodge charger & challenger are skipping the 70s to go to the 80s

[@MarspeedCars]

Yeah well we just went through the 70s aka the Hemi V8s and now we are downsizing like the 80s going to turbos and smaller engines it seems

[@magz4074]

And the thing in common? Tighter emissions laws.

[@bluecollarbuilds]

@@MarspeedCars maybe they’ll bring it back in another 30 years

[@Itzallgoood]

It will be interesting to see how the sales perform for the new stuff coming out. Overall I wish them well, but I'm keeping my Hemi till the wheels come off.

[@MAWA-Vik19]

Yep. A person better buy their Hemi now if they don't already have one, or just need another. People will probably hold on to theirs like you're doing. I've been on the hunt for a specific Hemi now for a bit.

[@Slow.S55]

Honestly if they would of provided a v8, with a hybrid system I'd feel like a lot of customers would of appreciate the EV movement.

[@candknagy5427]

I got a last call challenger and like you last car I will ever own I say fuck Dodge until a hemi comes back

[@AleksandrPodolski]

🤝

[@gordtulk]

3 years before a Dakota to compete in one of the hottest segments? Such a missed opportunity.

[@jamesrobertson946]

Would be a nice pickup,Honda has the new Dakota beat, i was waiting for it but now that I seen it I will buy the Honda

[@WobblinGoblin1]

We love our 2018 Durango with the V-6. Has plenty of power and the gas mileage is actually pretty decent. Around town we get low 20s and on long highway trips we routinely get 26+. The drivetrain is excellent and seamless and the interior is well designed. Personally, I think it's the best looking SUV ever made.

[@robertgreen4050]

Part of this is is the CAFE regulations Chrysler has been paying a lot in fines for not meeting mpg regs. so the FED plays a big part of they have to do

[@robc8468]

The EPA should have zero say in what car we buy noboby voted for this and no elected represetatives ever voted on these arbitrary rules.

[@mannyrosado9887]

They need to focus in maintaining their muscle car image and quality, for goodsake, quality. A car shouldnt break down before 100k. My brother Durango transmission went out before 40k miles. I own a Jeep Gladiator Mojave, which i very much love, but can see details that makes me worry about long term quality.

[@sergeantschlumpf6368]

5:57 The 3.0L tows less in both Wagoneer & Gr Wagoneer than the their respective 5.7 &6.4 V8’s.

[@mayhanamin3538]

Any status of what Chrysler brand is doing? they have been out for a while

[@MarspeedCars]

Will do an update on them soon, but really not much other than planning for their future. They will reveal their new 2025 vehicle probably in the spring though (similar to Chrysler Airflow). Unfortunately not very exciting

[@RalHellcat]

QQ….. When Dodge says “Models will stay mostly unchanged for 2024 & 2025” , does this mean that there will be a 2025 Durango Hellcat ? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@bradwhite5884]

I love if Dodge revive the Viper, Magnum and the Rampage (pick up version of the Magnum or whatever), so yeah

[@Lilboncamino]

I’ll say this for Dodge Chrysler Jeep and RAM this is what dodge should do and needs to do right now for the future of cars, trucks, SUVs, and crossovers they should bring back cars from the dead give the charger challenger and Durango new looks then give the hornet the demon package the SRT package the 392 package the hellcat package in scat pack package yes give the hornet those trim packages so it can look cooler but along with having a huge lineup dodge should also go back to having its own dealership but with ram truck though for Chrysler Chrysler needs to make the the 300 look more like the Rolls-Royce phantom and bring back the old cars from the dead and create a huge lineup so that more Chrysler cars can become more popular along with the 300 and bring the pt crusier as well Jeep needs to design the Cherokee and make the renegade look more cooler and bring back other Jeep SUVs and crossovers back from the dead too and give them the track hawk treatment packages in the SRT trims packages too cause the gladiator grand Wagoneer in the new grand Cherokee needs the track hawk and SRT packages trims too and once jeep and Chrysler have a huge lineup of cars trucks, SUVs and crossovers Chrysler should go back to sharing a dealership with Jeep too ram needs to keep the TRX around longer, especially for the future and then bring back the SRT trim package too that’s what ram needs to do and share a dealership with dodge too so that’s what needs to happen for Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and RAM and for the future of mopar and they need to bring back Plymouth too that’s what they need to do to along with that

[@jamesallen7205]

Thanks for the updates👍

[@dontgetwellboi1240]

A dark path for Mopar indeed. Let's see where this goes until they have to reinvent themselves again.

[@robc8468]

Hopefully the French and Italian management will admit they have no clue what the North American car market is about and sell Chrysler Dodge Ram and Jeep back to an American or Canadian owner. Rebadged Alfa Romeos Fiats or Puegots with American brand names will not cut it. I will never forgive Obama for forcig Chrysler to merge with Fiat.

[@nintendoatarikiller]

Solid plans, but I think it's silly offering two different six cylinders on the same vehicle. Just remove the turbo on the hurricane motor and bump the compression for the base motor. Pentastar has run its course, save it for the fleet vehicles.

[@TheAudi585]

I want to see how those aluminum metal and light walled twin turbo engines are going to handle under the stress what I put my 5’7 under or what my friend 6’4 goes under… I feel that they’re gonna bust. For now for me it’s gonna be V8 gas or a bigger diesel.

[@robc8468]

the I-6 twin turbo cylinders have no cast iron cylinder liners therefore the engine block will be a throw away item Gasoline. Turbo engines to very poorly in high load towing apllications.

[@TheAudi585]

@@robc8468 I figured as much lol, I was just saying it for laughs cause we all know it’ll do garbage compared the cast iron v8 hemi.

[@NXT_LVL]

As for the mid size truck, it'll be the South American market Fiats. As the Rampage has already been said to be a smaller mid-size to the Ram 1500, The Brazil/SA nameplated Ram 1000, will probably be the Dakota as the "compact" to go against the Maverick, Santa Cruz etc as a "Unibody truck"

[@somejackball]

Dodge teased the new Charger in a new video, looks to be more of a retro design like the Challenger

[@stackchn]

It's a shame so many of these vehicles are two or more years away as the current lineup at CJDR dealerships is rather stale. I'd buy a Rampage tomorrow if it was available in the US 🐏

[@kingofsludge7262]

It wouldn’t be wise, but neither would getting rid of the most popular muscle car on the market so… idk

[@dougpendleton1266]

Nicely done!!

[@johnnicpon5783]

Any info on new HD trucks? Also wondering why they keep reducing which HDs get the 6.4 Hemi. For 2023 you could no longer get it in the Limited and Longhorn trims. For 2024 you can no longer get it in any MegaCab. Lot of speculation in the forums that Ram is waiting for that new multi fuel Cummins to replace the V8. And of course the eternal question, when will the HD's get a new modern cab?

[@erictate8986]

Marspeed friend keep up the great work 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😃😃💪💪👍👍👍👍

[@MM_in_Havasu]

No EV's here. We don't need any eurotrash vehicles in the US.

[@AleksandrPodolski]

I personally owning Dodge Durango Citadel. And Iwill never buy electrical.

[@BlindBiker3]

Make everything V8 with no cylinder deactivation and no junk features, such as one world order of force garbage. God bless America. God bless dodge.

[@ThatChargerPursuitGuy]

I may have seen a few Ram Rampages on U.S. Roads already.

[@MarspeedCars]

Can’t see why it’s not already here other than logistical issues

[@TheAudi585]

@@MarspeedCars maybe people brought them over or moved to US visit who knows

[@swampwitch7313]

I think this Ev path sucks. I was thinking about getting something new in a few years and I don't think it'll be mopar. Hell I may just be a negative bastard but I like my v8s

[@youtubecarspottersguide1]

same here like a v8, tows more and not work as hard to move the metal down the road

[@sergeantschlumpf6368]

0:07 That’s in my opinion a Hummer EV morphed to look like a Ram. lol

[@StockCarGuy]

history always repeats itself, we’re going through a crisis

[@manovawater8794]

I've said it as soon as my eyes caught it: that body in white with the trans tunnel is NOT a charber folks! It is the next Challenger coupe. The volume level Charger will be a 4-door just like the current offering (just look at the CHARGER SRT BANSHEE CONCEPT's silhouette). In that silhouette lives all, three current L-platform mates' replacement, just as the DODGE SUPER-8 HEMI of the early 2000s combined (disguised) attributes of those forthcoming automobiles. They are good at this stuff. First up: Challenger! They've been trying to keep the competition at bay all the while gaining an edge. Just like in the 90s, in order to bring back a modern V8, revenues had to be generated from the most lucrative part of the market first. All things being MOPAR, I'm reaching and saying it makes more sense to build a STRAIGHT 8 (I8) due to synthesis in modularities based on the HURRICANE I6 than it would be to re-engineer an old relic like the current HEMI! THINK ABOUT IT...

[@LarryTheButcher]

Dodge/Jeep/Ram/Chrysler need to look back and do what they did in the 80's. Ford is even admitting ditching cars was a mistake. So with the parts bin of Stellantis I'm sure that there is a possibility of bringing back a, "K," style platform that could build small-mid size cars with reasonable engines/hybrid and electric for those who want it. Oh and make it affordable and make tech optional. But what do I know!

[@ernestomorales2487]

Nah, all this electric push won't work and it's already showing.

[@Modine.]

As long as Dodge is calling there new suv the Durango and not a Stealth.

[@zelvinhenry8068]

We'll be driving matchbox plasti-cars or virtual reality trucks in the near future!

[@erictate8986]

Sorry but with no more V8 engines as a Option ,Dodge/Stellantis company is about to lose a big part of it's Customer base 😤😤😤🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️👎👎👎👎

[@markdubois4882]

Oh so true.

[@Classicmoderndodgefan]

well I’m going to take the inline 6 out of the charger and put a hellaphant engine in it

[@POPAWOLF]

Sounds like a plan!😊

[@evildrizzt1]

Can’t wait to hack those e stag kits

What comes next? THE END

[@davidkrampel5478]

gonna be sad to see this once great company go broke and fall for all this e/v crap go president trump a great USA means a great Australia

[@waydephilpot3749]

Why do they tune these engines with 89 octane????

[@Sc2ner]

Called the electric version Durango Stealth

[@Over_Taxed_USA]

If I want an inline 6, I'll buy a Cummins Diesel or a BMW. Full size Trucks in America 🇺🇸 should have V8 engine options

[@SubXero1000]

Here's my big fat told you so regarding the ICE options (not you Marspeed, luh u)

[@Star-fc4ni]

What future when you design dumpsters! Super junk.

[@United_Wings]

😮

[@patrickcong4595]

I think GM and Ford are already slowing ev production so dodge is the next dying brand.

[@opie757]

MOPAR BABY 🏎️💨🤘

[@RodneyDunlap-t4l]

Im not a Mopar fan but you have a d... good channel i always comes to your page first

[@NewtownVids]

😢Bye hemi v8s😢 😊hello hurricane twin turbo i6😊 A i6 will not sound like a v8.

[@robc8468]

The I6 Wagoneer twin turbo sounds like a shop vacuum.

[@jacobeakright7834]

I think it’s an abomination to make an electric vehicle my 2000 dodge Dakota in my 68 Chrysler New Yorker will have more heart and soul did any of these new electric cars that they’re bringing out

[@droomkoning3266]

Hi

[@rogerrussell9544]

Stellantis doesn't 'get' Americans and probably considers us barbarians. But if they want to keep customers they may want to make cars that barbarians can appreciate.

[@robc8468]

The Italians and French automotive history in North America is littered with failure after failure to uderstand the US mass auto market.

[@mikepetrilli4686]

Great all new engines for a company famous for unreliability 🤣🤣 Not to mention ridiculous price increases thanks to crazy union negotiations...NO THANKS!

[@BackyardClunkers77]

The junky 80's cars making a comeback 🙄🙈💩🙁

[@candknagy5427]

STOP CALLING THEM MUSCLE CARS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT MUSCLE CAR HAS A V8 NOT A EV OR 6 CYLINDER ITS NOW A SPORTS CAR

[@ronniecarter9688]

Thanks dodge!! 😡 now it’ll be harder to decide between the new durango & a Jeep wrangler when my 2019 durango paid for… 😅

[@ChasingDifferentAdventures]

The reason Dodge Killed the V8 ( Hemi ) was due to the Shipping Issues for Canadian Boaders, they're Confiscating the Trucks and in some cases the Drivers License of Truckers preventing to Cross Boarders... as of December 2023 this is still on going. 👨🏻👍🏻🏁🏎️🏁🚩 Great Futures
