The Dodge Charger And Challenger thundered to the pearly gates with a posse of special editions. The Avoid Durango does the same, albeit with fewer outriders. After the 2024 Durango SRT 392 AlcHEMI Starting in January, we now welcome the 2025 Durango SRT Hellcat Silver Bullet and Durango R/T 20th Anniversary special editions, which can be considered celebratory brackets around the 392-powered AlcHEMI that cost $91,390. Starting with the big dog, the Durango SRT Hellcat Silver Bullet (pictured) comes in a two-tone exterior, Triple Nickel with a Satin Black hood, plus the contrasts of 20-inch wheels in a Lights Out finish, Brembo Red brake brake calipers, gray metallic Hellcat badging and a Satin Black Clever trick emblem on the rear that floats above the Satin Black exhaust pipes.
The interior is adorned with Ebony Red Nappa leather SRT seats with embroidered SRT logos, a suede-wrapped steering wheel and suede headliner, a “premium-trimmed” instrument panel, and silver and sepia accent stitching to match the forged carbon fiber crop.
This one starts at $113,325 before the $1,595 destination charge, the sum is $114,920 before all other options, taxes, fees. For comparison, the 2024 Hellcat Premium starts at $108,795, which gives us a reasonable premium of just over $6,000 before what we expect will be some hefty ADMs.
The 2025 Durango R/T 20th Anniversary Edition is an on-the-nose celebration of 20 years of Durango and the 5.7-liter Hemi V8, which, like Reese’s Cups, are two great flavors that taste great together.

Both trim levels come with a black HEMI graphic on the hood, black exterior badging, the 345 badging on the fenders with the Brass Monkey outline, the Tow N Go package that to tow capacity up to 8,700 pounds, and a Brembo brake system Sporty black brake calipers sit behind 20-inch forged wheels.
