Dodge

Few things are more authentically American than big SUVs with massive V8 engines, and the Dodge celebrates this country’s 250thanniversary with the debut of the 2026 Durango GT America250 in New York City.

What makes your head turn when a car roars past? History matters as much as a well-preserved machine, as each vehicle presents a compelling story.

Today we have for you a 1986 Dodge Omni GLHS. Apparently, number 177 ever made.

While many are excited that Stellantis has resumed production of the 5.7-liter Hemi V8, it sounds as though the company has no plans to abandon development of the 3.0-liter Hurricane I6.

Chrysler has a new boss. So does Alfa Romeo, at least in North America.

Chrysler CEO Chris Feuell has stepped down.

Today's UCTOD is one of only 1,000 built. It's a 1987 Dodge Shelby Charger GLHS.

Today we have a 1999 Dodge Ramcharger SLT in Mexican-spec for you.

Today's UCOTD is a 1993 Dodge Ramcharger LE.

Used-up American trucks of the 1940s and 1950s show up in U-Pull car graveyards on a regular basis, which can be surprising to Internet Car Experts who believe all such Rare Classics™ are worth big money. Here's the latest: a 1954 Dodge found in the shadow of Pikes Peak recently.

The North American Car and Truck of the Year were unveiled today at the 2026 Detroit Auto Show.

Did the voters get it right?

DETROIT -- The North American Car and Truck of the Year (NACTOY) winners have been announced here at Huntington Place -- formerly Cobo Hall -- in Detroit.

Our friends at The Autopian are reporting that the Dodge Hornet is dead -- and it's been quietly on its way out for a while.

Detroit sedans with manual transmissions become uncommon as automatics got cheaper during the 1960s, and they were nearly nonexistent by the time the 1980s came to an end. Still, they were available, and I've found this five-speed equipped Lancer in an Aurora, Colorado car graveyard.

The Dodge Venom concept. I remember it. Always thought the brand needed a Ford Mustang/Chevrolet Camaro fighter.

In the mid-1990s, Chrysler had a peculiar obsession. It was churning out concept cars like a man in a casino who couldn’t stop pulling the lever on a slot machine.

Today we're going cab forward with this customized 2001 Dodge Intrepid.

Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa revealed during the automaker's latest earnings call that Ram is working on a full-size SUV, expected to enter production in 2028.

Today we have for you a 1984 Dodge Daytona.

After Chrysler looked to its European operations to develop the Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizon subcompact, a bunch of Omnirizon-derived machines were spun off the original Rabbit-ish hatchback's design. I have made a long-term effort to document examples of each one in junkyards, and today we have a genuine Dodge 024 in a boneyard south of Denver.

Stellantis has a major investment in U.S. manufacturing planned, and the company also says it has five new-model launches planned.

Today we bring to you a 2003 Dodge Neon SRT-4. One of the hot compacts of the early Dubya years.

Stellantis plans to invest $13 billion in the United States and increase U.S. production by 50 percent.

The company claims that it's the largest in the 100-year history of Stellantis (and its predecessors like Fiat Chrysler).

It sure seems like a V8 engine will be in a Dodge product sooner or later. Probably the Charger.

Ram announced the return of the V8 engine to its lineup earlier this year, and new reports suggest that Dodge could be next. Bloomberg reported that Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa will announce new investments that could result in a new V8-powered muscle car.

Over the weekend, we noticed that reports were circulating that several “brand new” Dodge Darts were sold in 2025. This led to an abundance of speculation regarding how these models, discontinued nearly a decade ago, managed to see an uptick in deliveries this year. However, after some light investigation, we learned that Dart sales have held relatively steady since about 2019.

With the electrified version of the new Dodge Charger not being particularly popular with Mopar fans, the automaker has reportedly cancelled development on what would have been the fastest all-electric version of the car. Meanwhile, Stellantis seems to be scrapping other EV-focused plans to revive the V8.

Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) recently livestreamed the destruction of a 2021 Dodge Durango Hellcat that was confiscated during a “street takeover” event. The SUV was crushed to send a message to drivers participating in illegal street racing or vehicular showboating.

The V8 is returning to the Stellantis lineup after a brief hiatus, but vehicles carrying the engine won’t be sold everywhere. The 2026 Durango will only be available with V8 engines, including the 392 and Hellcat motors, but they won’t be sold in states that align with the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) regulations.

Today we bring you one that is a bit of a project -- this 1990 Dodge Ramcharger.

Some Stellantis rearview cameras aren't working properly.

The International Race of Champions was run from 1974 through 2006, with drivers in identically prepared cars. From 1975 through 1989, those cars were Chevrolet Camaros, with the Dodge Daytona taking over for the 1990-1993 period. The street IROC Daytona never sold as well as its IROC Camaro predecessor, but I've found this final-year example in a Denver self-service car graveyard.

Was the Dodge Roadkill Nights mechanical bull accidentally reported stolen? Or was it a stunt?

When Dodge launched this generation of the Charger, the brand led with the EV powertrain and told us a six-cylinder version was coming. Now that latter car is here. Meet the 2026 Dodge Charger Scat Pack and 2026 Dodge Charger R/T.

You can jailbreak your phone. You can rock Thin Lizzy's 1976 hit "Jailbreak". And now, you can plunk down a pile of cash to get a highly customizable 2026 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Jailbreak.

Today we have a 2004 Dodge Neon SRT4 for you.

We have one more sales report to bring you before going on break for the holiday. That would be Stellantis/FCA US.

SRT is back. So, which Stellantis models will soon be sporting an SRT trim? Which ones should?

Hey, remember the SRT performance subbrand of Stellantis that sort of quietly faded away not too long ago? Well, it's back!

Oh, and Tim Kuniskis, the boss of the Ram brand, is adding a new role to his responsibilities.

In this week's podcast, I laid out my plan for how to fix Stellantis.

It's podcast time again! This week on the TTAC podcast we talk about exhaust welds, NASCAR fuel strategy, and how to fix Stellantis.

Today we bring you a 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T with an automatic transmission.

When you were a kid, what did you lust after?

Just to be clear, that question refers to cars. Exotic cars. I do not need to hear about that actress/actor from a certain movie or a TV show. Besides, as a child of the '80s and '90s, I can guess.

Today we're bringing you a used car that needs some work -- this 1977 Dodge Ramcharger.

With the death of the Ford Focus ST, the Blue Oval no longer offers a small car in Europe. We already know, of course, that the company doesn't offer one in the States.

Nor do some of its competitors.

Remember when Dodge released the “limited-production” Hellcat Durango, only to re-release it more than once after the initial run sold out? Owners of the original SUV remember, and they’re currently locked in a legal battle with the automaker over claims of having been misled about the Durango Hellcat’s time on sale. With that said, it shouldn’t be surprising to hear that Dodge isn’t done with the Hellcat-powered SUV just yet, and is planning a round of new units for 2026.

If there’s anyone on whom to be counted for a brash, V8-powered SUV in the 2026 model year, it’s Dodge.

The new Dodge Charger Daytona EV has only been on sale for a short while, but the automaker has already trimmed the lineup, removing the base R/T model due to flagging demand. Beyond the fact that its core demographic wants nothing to do with EVs, Dodge’s problems with the car are likely related to its price and two-door configuration, but the company is set to solve one of those problems with a new sedan configuration for 2026.

The electric Dodge Charger Daytona has only been on sale a short time, but the automaker quickly began offering incentives and discounts to move unsold inventory. Now, we’re learning that Dodge may take steps to simplify the lineup, dropping the base R/T trim for the 2026 model year in favor of the range-topping Scat Pack model.

Dodge’s electric Charger Daytona hasn’t been the immediate sales success the automaker needed, but the car is scheduled to get an innovative new battery system that could change its fortunes. Dodge’s parent company, Stellantis, recently announced a new partnership with Factorial that will bring solid-state batteries to the car as early as 2027.

This 2007 Dodge Magnum is a former cop car. Sort of.

Chrysler began selling Mitsubishi Colt Galants with Dodge badging in North America all the way back in 1971, and the Colt stayed available here for nearly a quarter-century after that. Here's one of the very last Dodge Colt hatchbacks Americans could buy, found in a Denver-area self-service yard last year.

Dodge is now offering heavy discounts on the all-electric Charger Daytona. Dealer bulletins have indicated that the brand is discounting the model by $6,500. This is despite the Daytona being the brand’s new halo vehicle and comes after we’ve seen numerous dealer markdowns to address a lack of demand and Stellantis offering employee discounts to the public.

Today we go back to the 1980s for this project-car 1987 Dodge Shadow Shelby CSX.
