The Dodge Durango Pursuit is the only pursuit-rated police SUV with a V8 engine option. Powered by the 5.7L or 6.4L HEMI, with AWD standard and available third-row seating — find active government surplus listings across every major auction platform.
Each link goes directly to a pre-filtered search on that platform. Click, browse, and bid — no middleman.

Pro Tip: Durango Pursuits appear less frequently than Charger Pursuits or Ford PIUs — state police and highway patrol agencies are the primary source. Watch for multi-unit fleet retirements from state agencies, which often offer the best pricing. The 6.4L HEMI units are rare; set up saved searches on GovDeals to catch them immediately.

The Dodge Durango Pursuit is the only pursuit-rated police SUV available with a V8 engine — the 5.7L HEMI (360 hp) or the 6.4L HEMI (475 hp on the SRT-based package). This makes it uniquely desirable among collectors, enthusiasts, and buyers who want genuine pursuit capability in an SUV body. No other police SUV offers this combination.
All Durango Pursuit models come with AWD as standard equipment, paired with the HEMI V8. This combination makes it one of the most capable all-weather pursuit vehicles ever deployed. The AWD system is shared with the civilian Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee — parts and service are widely available at any Stellantis dealer.
Most fleet Durango Pursuits run the 5.7L HEMI V8 (360 hp). A smaller number were equipped with the 6.4L HEMI (475 hp) in specialized pursuit configurations. The 6.4L units are significantly rarer at auction and command a strong premium. Confirm the engine from the VIN or listing details — the difference in value can be $3,000–$8,000.
Unlike the Ford PIU or Tahoe PPV, the Durango Pursuit offers available third-row seating. After removing the partition and police equipment, a Durango Pursuit can be converted to a full 7-passenger family SUV — a major advantage for civilian resale. Inspect the third-row seat condition and folding mechanism carefully if present.
The 5.7L HEMI is known for a characteristic "HEMI tick" at startup — usually a lifter or MDS (Multi-Displacement System) issue. On high-mileage police units that have been driven hard, lifter wear is a real concern. Listen carefully at cold start, check for any MDS-related codes, and confirm the oil change history. Lifter replacement on a HEMI can run $2,000–$4,000.
Genuine Durango Pursuit models have a factory police package designation in the build sheet. Request the window sticker or build sheet from the selling agency to confirm the pursuit package — it affects insurance, registration in some states, and resale value. Most government surplus units come with a clean fleet title, but confirm the title type before bidding.
Government auction vehicles are sold as-is with no warranty. Durango Pursuits can have hidden HEMI drivetrain wear, MDS lifter issues, and AWD system stress from hard pursuit service. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic familiar with HEMI engines and police fleet vehicles is strongly recommended before placing any bid. See our Pre-Purchase Inspection Guide for a full checklist.
