Core Reveal: New Custom-Paint Initiative
At the Roadkill Nights showcase in Pontiac, Michigan, Dodge introduced “Color Jailbreak,” a factory-offered paint program intended to make previously limited-edition colors available to a broader audience.
Concept Highlight: Durango R/T 392 Smokescreen
The centerpiece of the display was the Durango R/T 392 Smokescreen concept, built on the V-8-powered three-row SUV. The exterior features a base “Smokescreen” white finish overlaid with a Cryo Blue graphic that recedes in a pixelated pattern from the front fascia to the roof, creating a robotic-style racing stripe. A stylized “392” badge is integrated into the blue pattern, referencing the 475-horsepower 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 engine. The concept rides on 20-inch forged Y-spoke wheels finished in Cryo Blue with subtle orange accents that echo the amber daytime-running lights. Inside, the cabin is upholstered in Petrol Blue Laguna leather with silver stitching, complemented by suede-wrapped steering wheel, suede instrument-panel bolster, and carbon-fiber trim.
Expanded Color Palette and Appearance Packages
In addition to the Smokescreen concept, Dodge displayed several new color options, including Toxic Orange on a Durango SRT Hellcat Jailbreak and Cha Ching Green on a Charger Scat Pack. The brand also introduced a “Tinted Dual Stripes” package, a translucent stripe that allows the underlying body color to show through, slated for production on both the Charger and Durango. A “Brass Monkey” package—dark-bronze 20-inch wheels with black fender badges—was shown on the Durango GT Hemi. While the Tinted Dual Stripes and Brass Monkey packages are confirmed for production, Dodge has not disclosed whether the Smokescreen graphics or any of the showcased hues will become permanent options; the company said fans will vote on their favorites at the event.
Official Statements & Responses
Dodge’s announcement emphasized that the Color Jailbreak program is meant to “unlock creativity for all” by extending custom-paint offerings that were previously limited to halo models such as the Challenger SRT Demon 170 and Durango SRT Hellcat Jailbreak. The company indicated that pricing details will be released later in the year, but the target market is positioned as mainstream buyers rather than a niche segment.

Conflicting Reports & Gaps
Sources agree that the Tinted Dual Stripes and Brass Monkey packages are slated for production, but they differ on the future status of the Smokescreen graphics package. Some outlets describe the graphics as a “design study” whose production availability is “unclear,” while others suggest the decision will be left to fan voting at Roadkill Nights. Pricing for the Color Jailbreak colors remains undisclosed across all reports, with only the intent to target mass-market pricing noted.
