The Mopar\u00ae<\/sub> \u201922 Durangos are headed to showrooms across the country, serving as the 12th<\/sup> limited-edition vehicle from the Mopar Brand. This is the second Durango to be featured among those 12 factory-modified vehicles and the ninth time that a Dodge Brand vehicle has been chosen, starting with the original Mopar \u201910 Challenger back in 2010. Like the Mopar \u201922 Durango, all of these vehicles have been produced in very low numbers, making them some of the rarest of the modern Dodge models. In fact, they are so rare that many people have never seen one in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the Dodge Brand playing such a big role in the history of the Mopar-branded vehicle lineup, we wanted to take a walk down memory lane and look back and the Challengers, Chargers and Durangos that have been part of the annual Mopar vehicle program. There was even a Dart along the way \u2013 serving as the only front-drive-based Mopar-branded vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in July of 2010, the company \u2013 then known as Chrysler Group LLC \u2013 announced a unique program where vehicles would be sold already equipped with a list of aftermarket upgrades from Mopar. In addition to the upgraded components, the package got a unique name that included the model year and the Mopar \u201910 Challenger came to life, introducing what would lead to more than a decade of \u201cMoparized\u201d vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur Mopar \u201910 Challenger is a collaboration of two iconic\nbrands with tremendous heritage,\u201d said Pietro Gorlier, then-President\nand CEO of Mopar, of the former Chrysler Group LLC. \u201cDodge put the heart into\nthis Challenger and Mopar added the soul. The result is a unique,\nspecial-edition car that only we can offer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
