Dodge has launched Silver Bullet and R/T 20th Anniversary versions of its Durango SUV.
Dodge is celebrating two decades of the Hemi V-8's availability in the Durango with a pair of special editions that will be offered in limited numbers for the 2025 model year., and the other is the Durango R/T 20th Anniversary which packs the standard 5.7-liter V-8.
Silver Bullet is a name Mopar fans know well. It was first attached to a 1967 Plymouth Belvedere GTX that was actually painted blue originally but later given its signature silver finish.

The Durango R/T 20th Anniversary stands out with its black hood graphic, 20-inch wheels with a Brass Monkey finish, Brembo brakes with black calipers, and “345” badging, a nod to the cubic-inch displacement of its 360-hp 5.7-liter V-8. Inside, there are front seats borrowed from the SRT, second-row captain's chairs, and bronze-like accent stitching.
Dodge is gearing up to bid farewell to the V-8 in the Durango. Similar to what it did with its last V-8-powered Challenger and Charger muscle cars, Dodge is rolling out a series of “Last Call” special editions to mark the end of the V-8's run in the Durango.
