Wendy’s workers can score discounts on the Dodge Durango Hellcat.
Working at a Wendy’s in the U.S. might come with a perk you wouldn’t expect: access to discounted muscle SUVs. Through the FCA Affiliate Rewards program, employees can buy new vehicles — including V8-powered Dodge Durangos — at notably favorable prices.
According to program details, participants pay 99% of the invoice price plus a $75 administrative fee. For most buyers, the 2026 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat starts at $79,995. Its invoice price is $78,115, which works out to roughly $2,600 in savings for Wendy’s employees. That’s not pocket change, and in some cases the discount can grow even larger. Last year’s 2025 model, for example, saw incentives climb as high as $7,100.
Even though Dodge unveiled the refreshed Durango a few months ago, versions equipped with the 6.4-liter HEMI and the supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 still aren’t available everywhere. They’ve been missing in several CARB-aligned states — including California, New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Washington, and Vermont. But a recent dealer guide confirms that CARB approval is on the way, meaning these models should soon be cleared for sale nationwide.
Wendy’s participation in the affiliate program hasn’t been fully explained, but it likely ties into brand-building efforts or mutually beneficial partnerships. Once Durango Hellcat models are available in all states, the potential buyer pool expands significantly — including Wendy’s crew members, who now have an unusually good shot at owning one with a meaningful discount.
