2020 DODGE DURANGO R/T

The auction lists this 2020 Dodge Durango as “SALVAGE W/SALVAGE HISTORY,” with “FRONT END” recorded as the primary damage. Stage 1 reports that the visible severe front-end collision damage supports the FRONT END primary-damage claim; the salvage status and salvage history cannot be independently verified from the photos. The front end has extensive damage. The hood is severely crushed, sharply creased, and deformed across the front and center sections. The front bumper cover, grille, and adjacent fascia are absent or detached, leaving internal components exposed. The front fenders and headlamp surrounds are torn and deformed, with missing material and broken mounting areas. Both front headlamp assemblies appear displaced, with damaged or exposed mounting and fascia areas. The radiator and condenser area is exposed, and the visible cooling fins are bent and crushed in multiple locations. Multiple lower front-end components and wiring are detached and hanging below the vehicle. The windshield has multiple cracks near the lower central area. Airbags have deployed from the driver steering wheel and front passenger dashboard, with additional deployed fabric visible in the driver footwell. The extent of the collision indicates that the vehicle requires substantial body, structural, cooling-system, lighting, wiring, restraint-system, and safety-system inspection and repair. Mechanical and structural condition cannot be determined from these findings alone. According to the NHTSA VIN decode, this is a 2020 Dodge Durango R/T SUV with all-wheel drive, a 5.7-liter gasoline V8 engine, and left-hand drive. It was manufactured by FCA US LLC at the Jefferson North Assembly plant in Detroit, Michigan. Two NHTSA recalls are listed for this make, model, and year.
