80,000? Seriously? I think the Stelantis salesman should be man of the year.

Yep, 80,000. We could build that in a few months. 2 shifts averaging 500 per shift, 1000 a day. That is a combo of Grand Cherokees and Durango's. They current gen Durango was supposed to go away in 2014, most likely for good, but sales increased in 2015 and has been ramped up ever since. My plant secured the contract for the all new Durango that we will start building in 2027. Supposed to bring back a 3rd shift next year. 1500 new jobs.

Its because not a whole lot has changed with the Durango. Its been a solid platform all things considered. Its been about the same since like 2011, so older techs can work on them with fewer issues. They still have the same problems but I think are not on Atlantis architecture for communication. So they are at lot easier to diag.

Helps that a Hemi is still an option. We are having issues with the updated 2L Hurricane.

Ever see an issue with Durango's rear tail lights?

Moisture issues I believe. Micro cracking or something BS.

No, it's something to do with those new led style strip lights. I just notice certain areas of the strip looks burned out or not working or dim.

Sometimes I notice part of the rear strip isn't lit up as much or something like that. Just when I see one will driving behind one in the dark. Just one of those things. Most probably don't notice it. Like when you buy a new vehicle, and then you notice every single one of them on the road when you didn't before. Lol.

Yeah I have noticed that. No idea if it's just a bad design or what. Usually we see them with water in them.

The WL Grand Cherokee had the recall for the tail lights because they were less than I think 200 LUX. That recall was a bit annoying to do.

I looked and didn’t see the material except "durable metal". I bet it’s aluminum which is softer than steel, but I’d prefer a skateboard wheel. Still, the metal looks “blingy” if’n you were doing a custom blingy build.

Maybe your mom!!!
