Below is the press release giving the holiday closing for DC plants. I starred the Durango plant. They are gonna do 2 shifts a day so yours could get built. Get your vehicle order number (VON) from your dealer, and can call 1 800 992 1997 to get info.
I am keeping up with it because I have a Dakota R/T ordered, and it is supposed to ship 1/10. I am torn between wanting it built the first of the week when the workers are fresh, or fearful of having it built during the first of the week when they are still hung over.
