Freddie here. I have a 2014 Challenger Classic RT. Its MY every day driver. 20300k. Like you said Mustangs Camaros are ponys. God bless the Dodge Bothers for starting it all.
I've got the 16 SXT with 48,000 mi. It's been super Reliable, driven it cross country 3 times! Tucson to Knoxville. Super sturdy and comfortable on the open road. Had the speedo up to 150 mph! Some think they are too pricey?.....WORTH IT!
Great video and love your channel! Glad most of you Challenger owners have not had the issues I have had!!! I have a 2017 T/A 5.7L and purchased it used in 2021 with only 14K miles on it. It only had one previous owner that did not drive is much. I daily drive my Challenger to work and home and take good care of it by keeping it maintained and clean. I have not done any modifications and don't drive it hard. Unfortunately, I have had my Challenger in and out of the Dodge dealership service center multiple times😮💨! My PCM was having issues and had to be replaced. The battery died on me with no warning and replaced it. The purge control valve had to be replaced due to code P0443. The electrical connector on the purge control valve had to be replaced and wiring soldered on. My latest issue as of 11/10/2023 when cleaning up the engine bay, I have an oil leak under the intake manifold. While checking the oil, I could not get the oil dipstick to go back into the tube!!! I have owned many vehicles over 30 years and never seen where the oil dipstick wont go back in. I guess there is always a first for everything. I have an appointment once again with the dealership service center. Guess I was one of the unlucky ones and got a used lemon. I love my Challenger and have always wanted a muscle car. After these issues I've had and the inconvenience of dropping off and picking up my Challenger plus being without transportation multiple times makes me think it's time to trade it in🤔!!!
JRT, thank you for your recent post on your 67,000 miles! Beautiful white Challenger, it gave me more confidence to maybe go out and get one of these RTs before they’re gone, God Bless, continued good blessings.
I ve got 159,000 miles on my 2010 R/T Challenger. I like the reverse light in the center , between taillight. Old school like the 70' Challenger. I know another car club member with over 250,000 on his. 2010 has been good to me

My 2013 RT has 72K miles on it I bought it brand new had 30 miles on it in that 6 years only issues I’ve had was a leak in the radiator which was replaced under warranty and a fuse box which was also fixed under warranty. So I can’t complain so far.
@@Eddy-ng4jz never buy a newer car with high milage as it's still not deprecated. If you pay $15k for a high milage car it's gonna hurt way more when something big goes wrong. Compared to paying $3k for a high milage car you won't care much if something big goes wrong
I have 68k on my 2015. Maintained and pampered. Yet I had the driveshaft replace under warranty at 66k. And getting normal strut wear noise from milage. Other then that. Been reliable and good on fuel for a heavy car
@@monk0383 no. But there was a thumping on take off to about 15 mph. At first I thought it was a whee bearing. But when inspected the driveline where the two piece shaft connects there was play. It connects right after the carrier bearing
@@nickpolselli2032 Thanks for the answer. I just bought a 2015 and am having a vibration between 45-70mph, I'm hoping it's just tires. The reason I asked is in the car fax it had it's driveshaft replaced very early in its life in 2016. I'm hoping I'm not chasing an issue.
@@monk0383 if you have that vibration between those speeds and it goes away over that bit could be a tire balance issue or a tire issue. It doesn’t hurt to check all your options. I will say mine was done under warrenty. If that had to come out my pocket it would have been a couple grand. Just a heads up. Some parts are pricey for the car. The steering rack is $2000.

06 dodge magnum R/T I'm in the 2s the the miles still no problems but like u said it all in how u take care of your car. Where are u getting your hood from ?
2016 SXT plus with 14K, so far so good. The only thing annoying is you can't park this car just anywhere. So unless you want lots of body dings, plan to park far away. The only car more comfortable than this is maybe a 300. There is almost nothing more reliable than the V6 Pentastar matched with the ZF 8 speed transmission.
Daily drive mines and I have no complaints. Just based on my schedule, I fill up on Sundays and when Friday hits I'm still at a half tank. Steady 19 mpgs during the week.
Someone Pls help lol planning on buying a 2014 challenger for a daily/commuter I’m fine w the gas but was just wondering if it’d be reliable long term planning on driving 200k plus miles w daily maintenance of course. Please lmk, if not might have to cop a newer civic or accord .
It really all depends on how you take care of it but it's a good car. 200k miles? It's possible but in my opinion, a honda would definitely get you that mileage. But if you really want a challenger I'd say go for it and stay on top of the maintenance.
Love my Chally man. Pedal Commander was the 1st thing I had installed. Mine might as well have one setting: Sport +, +4. That’s I know. I hope yours stays trouble-free. Enjoy.
Have a 2016 R/T 5.7, highly modified and has been bulletproof for 56k. These cars are well built and able to take serious modification. You can see a video of my car on R/T Life’s channel; we did a run down of all the mods (modern_red_hemi). Dodge has done it right.
I want buy used one maybe with 30k miles to 40k miles but I heard so many bad History about the charge and trasmision problema and other issue ..... thanks 4 the video !
Good to see that your car is still pushing strong, but bro you don't have any miles on your Chally! If you take just basic care of it (which I'm sure you take better than basic care) your HEMI will still be pushing like it's brand new at well over 100K.
Made in Canada.. :P I got to see my 2012 SRT being built.. still sad that I had to sell it... But ah well.. waiting to find a 15-18 SRT 392...with the Sepia leather...and... manual. . but it's how you drive it, and how you maintain it. Nice vid!
I disagree that you said Mopar at the past wasn’t reliable, truth be told a lot of other companies also broke down. Bottom line , if you maintain the car correctly any car will be mostly reliable IMO. Other then that good video.
Good looking out bro! Dope vid.. I’m attempting to be a big boy... I have a 03 accord trying to get a DODGE CHARGER SE 55k miles 1 owner.... give me a light feed back or any one seeing this comment? Been in my head a lot! Don’t want a BM or Audi.... too much for me right now so I feel like this is the middle ground!!! Any ways again I rock with ya vids hard my guy, Luv from up north Boston 💪🏾
Sounds like a good car bro, if you like, it's in good condition and that's what you can afford I say rock with it. Definitely appreciate the support homie!
Don't tell me Hemi with keeping oil intervals, changing breaks maybe, and keeping care of automatic transmission if you have it, what can go wrong. If one drive the car, not race it, it has to endure 200k miles without real issue apart from normal things. It' s my dream to get v8 and if this come true I'm gonna keep it forever.
Yeah I have 159,000 on my HEMI , 2010 RT CHALLENGER. Great car and i know a guy with over 250,000 on his. Only took it down the 1/4 mile once at Sacramento Raceway. My one and only time.
I have an Aice Mechanic as a friend, and he saw this coming a long time ago. Dodge Chevy and Ford like in the 2000's were basically all crap, but for a reason. The reason was because German engineers were basically fired at their jobs because in the 2000's Japanese makers like Lexus were killing it in reliability and luxury at that time, so where do you think all these German engineers are coming ? Right to the good old USA. So they came and worked with American engineers and two heads are better than one, and now today they are making excellent cars, and it really does not matter, because all these cars nowadays are globalized and all have similar parts and engineering stats, it can range from Toyota to Ford to whatever, they are all being built similarly.
No, l don't think that the newer ones are better. I've got almost 90k on my 2010 SRT8, and have only had one isue and was the alternator at about 70k. Most of the time it's because people do not take care of them, and beat the crap out of em without any or very little maintenance
I have a nasty Scat 2019 800 miles I’ve had it since March I ordered it in February.I had a 2016 SXT I had a 2017 RT now I have the 2019 scat love it.I just purchased a 1984 Corvette pay cash meant condition 74,000 miles and after I get out of that there’s nothing like getting into the Challenger.Believe me I like that Corvette but there’s nothing like a Dodge Challenger especially after you’ve been and do another car Like a Camaro Corvette mustang the challenge you’re always feels the best.And on my car the 2019 scat comes with the 2018 hellcat hood so I believe you either in need to get the hellcat hood orthe SRT hood Stripes are optional I think you would be totally happy with that you already have the Front splitter stripes would be optional that would set your white challenger off.Believe me.
If you enjoy the car the way the car wants to be enjoyed then you must dog it. 🤣🤣 it’s an American muscle car it’s basically a dog lol. Damn I’m bout to get my 15 or 16 challenger rt and I don’t live in a good area 🤣🤣 someone going to bust in to my stuff.
