I just bought a Durango hellcat I had the RT previously! We love the Durango because of its towing capabilities! And it’s great in the snow with proper snow tires.
The rear wheel drive set up vs fwd based design has as much to do with it as the v8. It will cream say a Honda Ridgeline towing even in the V6 form.. Minivan's all have transversely mounted engines along with most of their crossover cousins.
Do yourself a favor - go rent one for a weekend You'll forget it being a SUV the first time you go manual There Heni raps off at the exhaust for that sound 😅😮
A few years ago this nearly exact same machine would retail for low 40s….almost bought one but now this same one with out the stow and go would still go in the 60s….not even a “new” Durango….insane
I'm cool with my 2015 Ford Expedition XLT..it might not have the sound of the Durango RT but as far as performance goes the XLT might just give that RT a run for it's money
I like these and considered one when shopping for a SUV. However the well known Hemi lifter / idling issues and the price led me to a new 2023 Toyota TRD Off Road Premium. I wanted something that would last 20 years. I don’t see this lasting 400K plus miles .
@@lh32186 Been driving a 3.5L Magnum for last 15 years straight. This will be like a SRT for me. Plus....premium gas in Canada is taxed to F......and is very expensive. My yearly fishing trip (40 hours roubd trip of driving) would cost me $1250.00 in fuel alone. I'll be 55 soon. That Hemi will suffice me just fine. 👍
Love this video. My husband and I were just looking at Dodge Durango R/T yesterday. We also drove a new grand highlander. God, I just keep coming back to the Durango. There is just something about that v8. I grew around muscle cars, jets, and planes. I just love that sound. I don’t want to be the same soccer mom driving another Kia or Toyota. Unfortunately, fuel economy and job commuting is something I have to think about so we may not be getting the Durango but man it’s fun to drive.
Remember you could die any day. Enjoy it while you can. And most people don’t regret the things they did, but the things they didn’t do. Get that hemi.
I have a 23tow n go I absolutely love it man such a great car I like to say this package gives it soul this should be standard for R/Ts highly recommend this over regular if you can’t get an SRT like me
I have a 2021 Tow N Go with only 10,000 miles on it and I can NEVER leave stuff alone and modifying the hell out of it. Mine has nice LED fog lights - wonder why they stopped installing fog lights....? My latest mod happened just yesterday with Eibach lowering springs, I'll have a video soon on my channel. Next mod is the newly released Magnuson supercharger and AFE shorty headers! 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁
Lack of standard features like adaptable cruise control and unnecessary high prices for a V8 over a V6 Durango are one of the reasons why I didn’t buy one. That is on top of the horrible gas mileage. Wanted a 3row with luxury features that was fun to drive. Was also considering a vehicle that could also tow a travel trailer. Bought a CX-90 PHEV instead. Same performance as the Durango R/T more luxury, better handling, more standard features, and it gets incredible gas mileage. Doesn’t have the V8 sound and it can’t tow though.
I bought a '23 Grand Wagoneer III primarily due to the color combinations available to me (though also some luxury features on the GW did catch my eye). However, I do miss the sound coming from the Durango I owned just prior to...and nearly purchased the limited Mopar Ed of the Durango...I think last year, but again, available options (I don't want a black or red interior for starters). The sound from the GW is nice, for sure, but not the same category.
Was considering this vehicle. Sounds great. Not as fast as it sounds though! Best towing even compared to full size SUVs above it's class. Still feels a bit too overpriced for what it is. Better tech would make it a bit more justified.
I don´t know really what to do with my sad life I live in a place where there is no opportunities, there´s no job, there´s no ways to gain the life, right now, I have no job, I have no money, I´m feel frustrated, boring, tired, disappointed of everything, really I don´t know what way to follow, anyway all here is a mess and confused, the money is not enough for anything and I don´t know where we will go. this is enough to sit down and cry.
@@mephInc they were removed for 2024 builds. Mine just came in yesterday. I didnt notice it wasnt included on the sticker until AFTER the factory order went in
@@jamienallz402 They are claiming it as a "weight saving" option, and I'm sure we pay extra for it lol. I have the complete parts list needed to properly add the spare. It's about $1k without a wheel/tire.
Nice review! I just wanted to mention that I noticed the tail lamp module on the trunk is misaligned from the rest of the tail lamps on the pillars of the vehicles. This is most visible at 2:14. This is not exclusive to only the Tow N Go trim, and I first saw this on the Citadel trim level in pictures on the internet. Just wanted to let you know.
@@S8ER Yep exactly. It has everything you need, and more, already. (wouldn't mind an option for a full Pano roof, but that's not tech, that's mechanical engineering.)
@@wallbangerzsports yeah I mean I could see having wish list items. Personally I have the sunroof and for me it’s one item I just wish hadn’t bothered with since I rarely bother with it.
Not sure what this comment was addressing specifically but the Escalade is a full size/body on frame SUV so not really a competitor to the midsize Durango.
It's the last old school from Stellantis as is the 4runner from Toyota, difference is the 4runner will last ten times longer for half the cost as well as being almost twenty thousand dollars less. One in South central NJ is 10% off MSRP, down to $62,500 or so.
I bought a 2022 durango hemi /RT very disappointed if you are thinking of buying one I would think it over 10 times.. I completely regret it parts are so expensive and the bad part is that you can even find them on any web side only dealer...I 'll stick with a toyota...
I love my 2023 dodge Durango hellcat. And this is someone coming from Mercedes and Range Rovers over the last 20 years. It’s a lot of fun.
We’ll it’s nice to know you finally upgraded to a Dodge 💥💥💥
Wow that’s wussup

What tires are you running for winter?
These stupid run flats are a joke in any weather lol
@@mephInc I run continental extreme contacts for summer and light snow but I also have another set of rims on Bridgestone blizzacks for heavier snow

Thanks. I'll be departing of these crap tires very soon. Rides like a brick on them

Durango RT looks good for a suv and it's got a v8 engine love it

Any differences at all from the 23?

You would keep a car that Long
Winger!!!
No 360 camera no panorama roof no auto pilot 🤷🏻♂️
I would be shocked if that’s really a deal breaker for anyone. 😂
No rattly-ass 4 cylinder, either!
With the sound of that Hemi, I'm glad the review ran a little longer! The sound!!!!!!!
Ordering a 2024 RT Plus next Saturday and pretty sure im going with every option, including stripes and SRT seats. Plus the Blacktop Package.
If you could pull the trigger for the 6.4 you won’t regret it!

I have BORLA exhaust system on my 19' Laramie, and the 5.7 is easily the best sounding V8 available today. IMO

So did you get it casey?

The R/T tow n go is a fantastic package. I’ve considered picking up this trim to daily so my DDHC can retire to being a garage queen.
Insane Dodge Ben !! ❤❤
24s no fogs or mirror directionals? They started this for 23s at least on the T-N-G Hemi Orange now I see they are deleting all together!!
I test drove one and liked it, but a bit too pricey for me...
Pricey, and a lack of standard features that all other manufacturers are including as standard.
@@sheldonduffy9442which features are you referring to?
I bought my wife a 2015 Durango Citadel pretty loaded with a Hemi. She loves it!
Does it have cylinder deactivation and awful annoying stop/start?
Yes
I have a 22 R/T Tow and Go, and No stop start.
That steering wheel has 3 blank buttons. Just to remind that the car doesn't come with adaptive cruise control. Dodge cheaping out.
Mine has adaptive cruise.
I have that mini van crossover in oxide red.
We need a Viper Durango with the V10.
Viperango

BEN!! You skipped over the plug in port for the second row under the USBs! 2:56
The built in power inverter is very nice and gets a ton of use in ours especially on 1000+ mile road trips.

Forgot to say type c
1:15 Why didn’t the durango RTs get the 345 badges like the 2023 chargers and and challengers RTs?
If only my explorer sport had a longitudinal engine like these durangos do the competition would of been alot closer.
Sounds awesome!
HOLYYYYYY W VIDEO
I love Durango♥️ since I was a little girl it was my dream car 😅 I am so happy I was able to fulfill that dream
LOVE IT! SOLD LOL I'm keeping my 23 RAM!!!

Its a 3 row suv with a v8 and heated and ventilated alcantara seats with a heated 2nd row and a huge ass screen for 60 grand.

Stay positive bro you won’t be stuck like that forever
I Love your videos!! Keep up the good work, love knowing about cars and your explanations are on point.
Yo my boy, you look like a viking😂

It's like a time capsule😂 still a nice SUV. I just don't see someone buying it over the new tech SUVs that have come out. Especially for the price
The new tech stuff sucks balls. I don't want it. It's completely unnecessary. Who wants to stare at screens all day?
What new tech would make the Durango “modern”?
@@S8ER Yep exactly. It has everything you need, and more, already. (wouldn't mind an option for a full Pano roof, but that's not tech, that's mechanical engineering.)
@@wallbangerzsports yeah I mean I could see having wish list items. Personally I have the sunroof and for me it’s one item I just wish hadn’t bothered with since I rarely bother with it.
I like it but I mainly use just the vent unless I'm cruising back roads.
I put my money where my mouth is Mr.Hardy. My daily is a QX80, my weekend is a RCF, my motorcycle is a VMAX1700 V4.
A sorento is a lot cheaper, same performance with more tech (namely assisted driving)
I wonder how these would look with a 3" lift
I wish there were more hybrid V8s
Dude… stop talking so fast
Escalade v does
Not sure what this comment was addressing specifically but the Escalade is a full size/body on frame SUV so not really a competitor to the midsize Durango.

This is much larger and more spacious than a cramped 4Runner
4runner gets less mpg despite having a 4 liter V6 and 2400 lbs less towing capacity.
@@evildrizzt1
Don’t bring up details…….
“But Toyota………!,!!!”
Yeah but you don’t look as cool in a 4Runner 😁
Wait how is 62k and 69k a 20 THOUSAND DOLLAR DIFFERENCE?!?

Don't tow whit that garbage it will cost you more than 8k to repair ....
