The video work, backstories, and music on your reviews have always been excellent, but can we take a moment to appreciate your scripts and narration? Another awesome review--thanks, Alanis!
Instead of watching, I played this in my car as I was driving and as a result I really noticed how well the audio production is on this video (and your others) with special shout out to the great voice over and script! It was a great tribute to the Hellcat in its final form 😎
Cool video!! Your voice at the beginning was so calming! Ive never heard of a hellcat before, and now I'm sad that they're going away. Also I'm a big fan of big ole giant SUVs, so I enjoyed watching you drive this one!
You nailed that intro! Wish I could do that! That’s another stellar video down! I remember the 1st 2 generations like it was yesterday so yes I’m that old! But my favorite Dodge will always be the Viper!
Surprisingly, Dodge isn’t quite done with the V8 Durango. They’re gonna do a few “last call” Durangos like they did with the Charger and Challenger. One of these last call models will be the 2025 Durango Hammerhead. The Hammerhead is essentially just a cosmetic package with the same 710hp as the current Durango Hellcat, but maybe they’ll also make a Demon 170 equivalent of the Durango
This was an incredible "nostalgic" review. I really do hate that these are going away. Especially with so many being wrecked and stolen. Unmolested examples are going to command a hell of a premium a couple of decades from now
Durango probably my favorite SUV even without the hellcat. Love how utilitarian but luxurious/sporty Dodge interiors are. Makes me sad these types of cars are dying. My dream car (attainable car) is a Challenger but I probably won’t be able to get one now that they’re ending 😔
Another awesome video, Alanis! It would be awesome if you could get a Cadillac Escalade V for review to compare it to the Durango Hellcat (even though the Escalade is at a higher price point).
When I was a little kid, if I told another kid that his mother wore Army boots, the fight would be on (-; How times have changed. Go job granddaughter. Thumbs up (-:
I totally forgot that Hellcats have the supercharger whine, and when you started driving it, I got all giddy and happy lmao 🤣 (just something about Dodge that makes me so happy)
Dodge after Mistibushi change drastically then bailed out by government & lee iaccoca hope they make through electrication unlike a few others fiskar & a couple of others abandoned factories in California
I'm so sad that we're near the end of the modern high performane V8 in random vehicles. They'll live on in trucks and the occasional Mustang, but I'll miss Hellcats.
Great review. $109k is a big nope for me. if I wanted an SUV with a snorty supercharged V8 I'd save myself a near BRZ amount of money and look at a Jaguar F Pace SVR Would be curious to see an Alanis review of one of those.
Isn’t that what a muscle car supposed to be? Overpowered and overly excessive. I appreciate Dodge for giving the muscle car one last chance before the EPA made it impossible to build these.
Hard to believe this gen/platform is 13 years old!! 👴🏼👵🏻 But you nailed it, a future collectible for sure! Can you imagine folks in 20-30 years being like “why the hell did they put this engine in THAT?!” 😂
Im probably in the minority... But the awd has been a turnoff for me with the DSRT... I wish they offered the whole package in RWD. Currently on our 2nd Durango RT. Theyve been great SUVs for us.
@@AlanisKing Great reviews! 👍 Id of bought a DSRT rwd over our DRT 5.7s. Not a fan of the awd added initial cost, complexity (more to deal with breaking), insurance costs and of course no 🍩. But I'm minority, just give me the motor and brakes in a DRT platform.
They have made a huge mistake killing the Hellcat, and the normal Hemi engines, and now thousands of their trucks sit unsold because nobody wants the crap 6 cylinder engines now in their trucks.
What happened to the aggressive wheels and tires? Ford has been doing the same with their ST trim packages. Lame wheel and tire stance. It looks like a soccer mom's SUV.
I watched Jurassic Park in its entirety the night before filming this so that I could get the intro perfect. Hope you all love it!
@@AlanisKing literally 11/10, no notes
@@hermatred572 THANK YOU
That was my favorite part
Hi ! This intro is amazing ! 👏 As the rest of the video.😄 Brilliant job from « King and husband corp. » ! 😎 Take care. Cheers from France. 😉

This means a lot. We try to be better every week. Thank you so much!

Ahhhhh thank you so much! We appreciate that! We try to make it really beautiful
The look of utter joy on your face while using the launch control is priceless.
It’s so much fun. Truly
Cool video!! Your voice at the beginning was so calming! Ive never heard of a hellcat before, and now I'm sad that they're going away. Also I'm a big fan of big ole giant SUVs, so I enjoyed watching you drive this one!
You’re the best ♥️ thank you
I'll be waiting for the Hellcat powered minivan review Alanis! 😄
I can only hope 🙏🙏 thank you always, Francisco
Great review as always!
Wow this channel deserves more subscribers.
Thanks for the great content Alanis!
Thank you so much, Jeff 🤠
The SRT Hellcat is a bona fide American icon, and I wish it didn't have to go away.
Same : (

The Viper is literally soooooo cool
@@AlanisKing Hell yeah it is!
That sound never gets old
So true
It's the launch control face reactions for me 😯😅

Yeah, they announced the Hammerhead after we filmed this video! Durango is still, hilariously, the last Hellcat standing
The Hellcat Duragon. For when you need to help out Dominic Toretto in a Fast and Furious movie while the kids are at Soccer practice. The Family car.
So true
good to see you early, alanis!
Good to see you too : )
The Durango is close enough to being a Hellcat powered minivan 🚐 great review
Thank you 🤠
Still upset they didn't make a Hellcat Pacifica...
Me too!
Thicker than a Durango burnout
Allegedly Alanis has never been happier
Hellcat is a highlight of life
If the girl nextdoor was a channel...great review...I been looking at buying one for the utility/outdoors and get up when you need it and want it...😏
That’s awesome! If you buy it, I hope you love it!
Great reviews as always..
Thanks Jeff 🤠
Great review Alanis. Loved the background music. Cowboy hat was a nice touch.
Thank you so much for watching. Appreciate you!
Wow such a cool car
This is such a good vid
Thank you : )
This was an incredible "nostalgic" review. I really do hate that these are going away. Especially with so many being wrecked and stolen. Unmolested examples are going to command a hell of a premium a couple of decades from now
Ahhhhh thank you so much!
I love the red seats!
They're SO pretty
Loved this review with the history of the Hellcat engine! This is my dream car!
Unpopular opinion: I like this more than the Trackhawk
It’s so much sillier than the Trackhawk!
@@AlanisKing they perform the same but I like the meaner look of this and the louder exhaust, it’s more of a raw look and feel
Durango probably my favorite SUV even without the hellcat. Love how utilitarian but luxurious/sporty Dodge interiors are.
Makes me sad these types of cars are dying. My dream car (attainable car) is a Challenger but I probably won’t be able to get one now that they’re ending 😔
I hope you’re able to get a Challenger someday! They’re so fun
Another awesome video, Alanis! It would be awesome if you could get a Cadillac Escalade V for review to compare it to the Durango Hellcat (even though the Escalade is at a higher price point).
You know, I’ll have to see if there’s one in Texas! Thank you for watching!
Proper music for such a bonkers vehicle!
The music is PERFECT
Excellent review, epic intro! 🦖
Thank you SO much
The music fits perfectly
I totally agree

I LOVE your shirt.❤
Thank you 🤠🤠
I thank Hellcat owners of all stripes for their contribution to my retirement every time they floor it at the green light.
And nice cowboy hat scooby
OMG HI! Thanks for being here!
No problem love these videos they are so good

I'll miss Hellcats sooooo much
Like the vehicle combination with your outfit 👌🏾
Thank you! And thanks for watching more videos!
@@AlanisKing no problem
What is the sticky note for on the gauge cluster? Thanks for another great review!
My notes for the review! Minimizes distraction while driving on curvy roads. Thanks for watching!
@@AlanisKing Great idea! Especially with over 700hp!
I'm sure someone will swap out the electric motor from the new EV and put in a Hellcat engine. But until then, I'll just be waiting.
So true
Great review. $109k is a big nope for me. if I wanted an SUV with a snorty supercharged V8 I'd save myself a near BRZ amount of money and look at a Jaguar F Pace SVR Would be curious to see an Alanis review of one of those.
Thank you so much for watching! I haven't seen many Jaguars in the Texas press fleet. I'll have to ask for one!
Wondering what Uncle Bob has to say about the cowboy hat.
Good review of the brontosaurus.
He will absolutely love it. Thanks for being here!
Almost as fast as roller coasters 🎢
Six Flags next month!
@@AlanisKing 😍😍😍 I’m so excited
I've seen these things trash muscle cars on the road. Sad to see them being killed off. 10/10 hats today. That one suits you.
Thank you 🤠
I drove a hellcat once, lost the back end, then almost lost my back end...😂
Literally!
16:39 more like pounce control
I would love to see a hellcat swapped first gen Durango. Talk about a sleeper.
MAJOR sleeper
Nice
: )
You know what else has a foot parking break that you can stomp on? An old Prius 😜
Let’s gooooo
11 MPG = 'Merica!! 🦅🦅
11!
Personally insulting that Stellantis has yet to gift an Alanis-spec Hellcat then make you Global brand ambassador. . .
Maybe someday 🫡🫡🫡
Hell yeah
Hell yeah!
Let’s go Alanis. Good to see the hat is back in action
Me too! I love it

That's exactly what it's supposed to be!

But you nailed it, a future collectible for sure!
Can you imagine folks in 20-30 years being like “why the hell did they put this engine in THAT?!” 😂
They'll be totally bewildered! And we'll be the old folks saying "I remember when that was new"
“The shifts sound like sword blades cutting through bones.” 😂
Where else can people get these descriptions? Nowhere!
Thank you 🤠🤠
I don't know if supercharger noises are as fun as turbo wastegate shenanigans?
Turbo shenanigans are more fun to me, but the Hellcat whine is so famous and beloved that it's really fun to hear
@@AlanisKing especially when it's an end of an era.
Teach me how to Dougie.
I feel like I'm getting recommended on one of Doug's videos today
Also, I’ve never driven a supercharged car, does the supercharger whine ever get old?? 🤩
Never!
The end of an era. We are going to be stuck with electric and crappy little 4 bangers. 😢
I'll miss the Hellcat so much
Mercedes made a great chassis for them to use 😂
Yes, my brothers, I want 2 Alanises stacked on top of each other. NY Cheesecake Style
Lmaooooo
😢😢😢😢😢
😞😞😞
You're making a lot of assumptions. Like Hellcat buyers even want electric SUV's.
It’s not that they want it - it’s that the Hellcat won’t be here anymore as a new vehicle!
The EPA is getting neutered.
I hate the sound of that compressor
Hahaha
my local Dodge dealer has a Hellcat Durango for $99,000 .... I'll pass ...
Markdown! (Maybe)
Is nothing sacred anymore? What's next? The hellcat semi truck?
Hahahahaha
Oh… you haven’t heard? 🤣
What kind of review is that?
Did you not enjoy it?
Im probably in the minority... But the awd has been a turnoff for me with the DSRT... I wish they offered the whole package in RWD.

Please, no more of the same dodge reviews.
You’re gonna make me want to get rid of my Mazda 3 sedan again, aren’t you? You do it every Thursday.
Mazda3 is such a good choice!
Don't give in to EVs
There are some super cool EVs out there
@@AlanisKing Not for me .
All that beautiful horsepower wasted on an ugly stance )-;
I honestly love the whole look of the Durango Hellcat
@@AlanisKing Then you must be looking forward to being a soccer mom. That's not a bad thing granddaughter (-;
Why don't you do any more collaborations with Doug? Your husband find out what you were doing in his garage?
Please don't insinuate weird things. I no longer work with Doug because I have a new job
Def not a sleeper . Ev1 knows what hellcat means, tf r u talking about 😂
