But is it a small market? Dodge finally announced the Durango SRT after 2 years of rumors--and the dealers are already getting flooded with customers wanting info. The Grand Cherokee SRT would lose sales because it didn't have 3 rows. I know several people that buy the Denali/Escalade because they wanted the bigger motor--and it's for the "quickness", nothing to do with towing. And they didn't buy a Tahoe because the 6.2L wasn't offered. Personally, Chevy should have made the RST strictly with the 6.2L, only in Premier trim, do some trim changes in the interior, Brembos all around, include the exhaust, lower it 2"-3", offer 2wd or 4wd models & price it between $72K-$75K. I'll bet that it would have sold like crazy. I might have even been swayed (especially when 20% bonus tag rolls around) to get that over the Durango SRT. But as it is right now, the Durango SRT will be somewhere between $65K-$70K and have all of those things mentioned above--and that's what I'm getting.
