Dodge just unlocked new, unrestricted, personalization options with new Jailbreak models for 2022 Dodge Charger and Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebodies. Basically, the Jailbreak models unlock color-combination ordering restrictions and add new factory-custom options. That gives owners the freedom to create a Dodge performance vehicle that perfectly fits their individual style, right out of the box.
Jailbreak models are the next step in Dodge's two-year Never Lift campaign. It will launch a variety of new Dodge models and initiatives. To view the Dodge Never Lift 24 Months of Muscle calendar, visit Dodgegarage.com/never-lift.
“Roughly half of all Dodge customers modify their vehicles,” said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge Brand Chief Executive Officer - Stellantis. “For those looking for increased performance, we will launch Direct Connection next month. But for those looking for a unique appearance, we are going to let customers run free through the styling archives. We're taking most of the parts and pieces we've used over the years, adding a few new ones and letting customers build their own ‘One of One.’ So, if you're dreaming about owning a Stinger Yellow Challenger with Brass Monkey wheels, Hammerhead Grey seats, blue Brembos and red badges, I'm not sure we should, but we'll build it for you.”

The Great Escape
If you're going to run any sort of option package with Jailbreak in the name, your tires should support life on the run. The Nitto NT555 G2 fits that bill to a T. The ultra high performance tire targets performance driving courtesy of increased traction, improved handling, and excellent wet braking ability.
Dodge Power Brokers dealers will be able to order and display Jailbreak models in their showrooms. The new Dodge Power Brokers program, recently announced in tandem with the new Direct Connection performance parts line, will build a network of dealerships equipped with staff trained to deliver a performance-focused customer service experience.
