Have fog lamps been dropped for 2024 SRT392 DDs?

[Hamsquatch]

We're blessed to have a 23 392 Premium, and it's got LED fogs. I was at the dealer the other day, and walking the lot, and found two 2024 Premiums and nether had fog lamps? Would anyone know if they have been dropped? My understanding was that the HCs don't have em and they are not available, cause of space needed for air intake, but the 392s could come with em. Just curious.

Looks Like the Fog Light Design has been upgraded (I had a 2018 392). This one of many Listings up North. Personally I would be surprised to see a 392 without them and if Dodge decided to add an Oil cooler and CAI Duct system to the 6.4 Set-Up, surely would have already been some discussion on that. Could it be you need to pay Extra for them I.E. Like a full spare that used to be included with Towing Package.

Ah! I just checked the official Dodge website, looked at the specs listing/summary for a 2024 SRT392 Premium, and next to "fog lights" it states "NO". So I'm guessing maybe they have been officially dropped? Probably to save some pennies LOL. I'm wondering, guessing, maybe to save money they are using the same front lower facia for the HCs and 392s now, maybe?

But even if they have been officially dropped, I would not be surprised to see a hodgepodge mix moving forward - kinda like how in 23 some got the Alcantara headliner on their Premiums, and some didn't.

Thanks, our 2023 SRT392 Premium has em very similar to that - I believe four smaller bulbs/lenses total if I am recalling correctly (two on each side)

My 24 DD SRT doesn't have fog lights either. I didn't think to look because I thought that would be standard equipment.

IMHO, in reality I'll bet the extra amount of light it actually throws is nominal, and Lord know with how fast these beasts are, it probably doesn't matter, as the main LED headlamps are what we need to be concerned with "outrunning", but the car-lover boy in me that grew up in the 70s and 80s loves the look of running the parking lamps at dusk with main headlamps off and the fogs on. Yes, I'm a child of the "Miami Vice" generation LOL

When I was in high school our idea of doing something fun was going to Walmart to look at the car section . Always looking at fog lights kits, or radar detectors. I honestly like amber fog lights because those actually cut through fog. The hyper white ones don't help at all.

Looks like it has an engine oil cooler.

The oil cooler is needed, you guys will get a benefit from it, the 392 just runs too damn hot when you really “run it” IMO.

Also, I have a ‘23. Those fog lights ARE very effective and they DO throw a significant amount of light side to side and right out front. Too bad they have been taken out. The oil cooler did it.

With out the fogs...the truck looks''...well....rather pedestrian

Are you talking a separate oil/air heat exchanger like on Hellcat is on the last DDSRT's? My build sheet for my 2019 looks exactly like the post above, but every 6.4 I have seen just has the "cooler" built in to the oil filter adapter, and in all actuality, is more of a oil heater than a cooler because it is an engine coolant to oil exchanger.

 

[Hamsquatch]

Interesting, I just looked at the window sticker for our 23 and I don't see an oil cooler listed, but IMO that does not necessarily mean it's not there - I think I need to somehow get a hold of my detailed build sheet. In addition I've run our gal WOT pretty long in the 100 degree VA summers here, and thankfully she never runs even remotely "hot" per the dash instruments.

If indeed a new or different oil cooler has been added for 24 and that's the reason the fogs were dropped, it's good to know and mystery solved. But until I can get a hold of a detailed build list for mine to verify it's not there, I'm still inclined to go with my initial gut feeling, that Stellantis dropped em for a little cost savings and/or ease of manufacture.

Mine runs 220-235 degrees just going like 80-90 mph. That sort of temp in that simple operating range needs a cooler.

I'm now really interested to get a detail build list on ours, to see if it's on there.

It certainly wouldn't hurt

My 2024 Durango SRT392 AlcHEMI-DG does not have foglights, but the Left side opening has an airduct directly into the bottom of the airbox for a RamAir affect, so that's not a bad trade off!
