No, Nevada Isn’t Banning the Durango Hellcat
Rumors have been circulating online claiming that Nevada residents won’t be able to purchase the 2026 and 2027 Dodge Durango Hellcat due to the state allegedly following California’s strict CARB emissions rules. That claim is flat-out false.
While California has banned sales of certain V8-powered vehicles, Nevada has not adopted those restrictions. Buyers in the Silver State can still order a Durango Hellcat today. Local dealers, including Tobin Dodge in Las Vegas, are already taking orders.
The confusion likely stems from social media posts spreading “fake news” about CARB compliance. Unlike California, Nevada has not blocked V8 models, and even states like Colorado—often grouped with CARB-aligned regions—are still allowing customers to custom order Durango Hellcats.
The bottom line: when the TRX returns in Q1 2026, it will also be available in Nevada. Customers don’t need to panic or settle for older models. While California drivers may be stuck, Nevada enthusiasts can still enjoy the full lineup of HEMI power.
