The 2021 Dodge Durango and Charger Pursuit vehicles have been teased before order books open in September and the vehicles start to patrol streets across the United States.
The teaser image shows the new police vehicles wrapped in camouflage and of the two, it will be the Durango Pursuit that benefits from the more comprehensive updates as the SUV was recently facelifted and improved.
Mopar Insiders speculates the 2021 Durango Pursuit vehicle could be based on the R/T Tow N’ Go package. If true, that would mean it would receive a Hemi 5.7-liter V8 and have a towing capacity of 8,700 lbs (3,946 kg), an improvement over the 7,300 lbs (3,311 kg) towing capacity of the 2020 Durango Pursuit.

The new Durango Pursuit could also receive a re-tuned SRT performance exhaust, an increased top speed of 145 mph (233 km/h), as well as Track, Sport, Snow, and Tow drive modes. It may also be equipped with six-piston Brembo brake calipers.
As for the 2021 Charger Pursuit, it probably won’t enjoy so many updates. In all likelihood, police agencies will be able to opt for either one with a Pentastar V6 engine and rear-wheel drive or a more powerful 5.7-liter V8-powered variant with all-wheel drive. Regardless of which powertrain package is optioned, all models will come standard with ballistic protection on the driver and passenger doors.
The 2021 Dodge Durango Pursuit and Charger Pursuit should be unveiled in the next few weeks.
