It's actually an awesome grand tourer! I rented one and drove it around Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico for over 1500 miles in a week. Quiet, comfortable, loads of space and the 5.7 averaged over 23mpg and I did give it a boot. The ground clearance was nice when taking some backroads or just stopping for awesome sceneries. It even was manageable in snow, although the tires were anything but suitable for the two snow storms I encountered. And I loved the noise, could've listened to that all day. Wanted to take it home with me.
LOVE! Seriously considering buying one, worked out a deal and going to test drive next week! I got hooked when I had a 2017 Charger hemi for a rental.... figured I had to have that engine/transmission combo, but want to do it in STYLE! LOL
That is the first time i seen a new Challenger without the 8.4 screen and no leather seats.. that is super basic... But hey its still got a Hemi that's what counts..
I'm debating between this car in blue or a white Kia K900. Ik that's a weird cross-shop but I love both, especially the Kia. Not sure about Dodge's reliability tho.
What did you decide on? Lol Dodge’s reliability has gotten much better in the more recent years, and the 345 Hemi is tried and true. Very comfortable Grand Tourer, can’t go wrong. K900 is a neat car too, just worrying in regards that Kia/Hyundai has killed off the K9(00) for the US market for good.
Where did you get this rental from?? I know Enterprise offers a "Sporty" class but I'm afraid the Challenger pictured on their website will be the V6. Thanks
Did you get an sxt cause you couldn’t afford the v8? Even so, it still looks like a beast and you can make them sound decent, and they’re by no meals slow! 300hp is no joke, look back in previous years
@@chief8387 Yeah I didn’t get approved, my SXT is still a nice car, and I love it to death, I just like the throaty v8 growl. And I’ll be upgrading within about a year
I’m 5’11”, I do have the seat further back than what I’m normally comfortable with due to my filming angle. The Challenger is the best muscle car for a taller/larger Individual
I have kind of a newb question here, but if you want to put 275 tires on any of the V8 models - will the car drive well if you put all 4 on or should the tires be staggered? Since my car would be a daily driver and for a couple races maybe every week or so I need a setup that will work both ways, I'm hoping that putting them on all 4 tires would be ok??
That would be nice if it was standard on the Challenger. I was just on Dodge's website looking at that difference. I wonder why the difference. What do you think?
JW Motors yeah I wouldn't either. I'm really wanting a mustang gt bit the challenger Definetly has more room (back seats for my kiddos) and looks great. Plenty quick to have fun. Enjoyed your video
JW Motors The stereo sucks by the way this car was just basic bullshit I just bought one manual and I’m about to trade it in it is the worst shifting car I’ve ever had every kind I would ship the transmission sounded like it was bouncing off the chassis dodge is cheap as fuck i’m going to get screwed on my trade so i’m even trading for a 370z I guess since i don’t want to pay more to get an automatic
Andre Thornton the 2017s come with active exhaust... Sounds awesome in sport mode and when it slows down it sound like it's rev matching I love the car
I love the body style as it really recalls the 1970s. But the 5.7L is a deal breaker for me. With the 392 Hemi being priced so high it loses value to the Camaro SS and Mustang GT, as both of these cars are lighter and handle better than the Challenger.
I don't care if something is quicker....for me it's about the feeling from driving the car, not being a second quicker or slower. If you really want quicker, go buy a motorcycle.
Comfortable and roomy as hell too…great grand tourer. Plus I hate it when people compare their Mustangs and Camaros to Challengers. Those are pony cars, not muscle cars. Would take a Chally over them any day
Those Hemi's are Beasts don't care which one you have!
4 years later and it’s still facts
Yes, my favorite car
Challenger is my dream car man. great footage
Northern Rails Same here, it is my All-time number one favourite car.
It is a beast wroom wroom
my grandma has a one
Have u gotten it mate
Agreed

Great comments. Yeah, I live in Utah, and I loved it as a daily while I had it. Thanks for the comment.
I just bought an 18 R/T with a 6 speed manual today. In mad love 🤙🤙
U still like it?
You still like it?
Still loving it 👍🏼
@unarmed blackman Traded it for a Cummins lol
@@ZachLo51 why?!?!?!
This been my favorite car since was 13 I still want this car💯
No smoking in the rental lol
Only thing he was smokin was tires! Lol
@@djz3bra
That’s what he meant. Your not supposed to smoke the tires in a rental unless you sign paperwork and pay for brand new tires
Very concise. No bs. Just content
6 years later but still gotta appreciate a video simply showing off the car with a nice resolution and no yapping lol
Challenger.....never leave home without it
This car is legend 😍😍😍
Very nice POV on Dodge Challenger RT I really want one! Definitely one of my favorite cars.
Everybody favorite car be original
Cool POV! I prefer the 6 speed manual version, but all of the RTs rock! I love my RT Plus Shaker...
A big, empty parking lot, and no donuts ???
Lol you buying tires
@@mackhemi8986 if you drive a car like this you should afford some new tires lul
True but to do dumb shit in buy old tires for that
xRenegade97 its a rental lol u can see the no smoking signs by the air vents
Stephfon Mack i would buy cheap chinese tyres for this
I live my life a quarter mile a time nothing else matters... for those ten seconds or less... I’m free. -Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto
I might be the only one that notice the Enterprise stuff since I used to clean these vehicles back then. Good video!
I know right
And the barcodes on the windows
This sounds so amazing i will soon get one 😁
The exhaust is ❤️ but the takeoff is alright! I was actually hoping it be faster
LOVE! Seriously considering buying one, worked out a deal and going to test drive next week! I got hooked when I had a 2017 Charger hemi for a rental.... figured I had to have that engine/transmission combo, but want to do it in STYLE! LOL

It is pretty basic, but if you're just looking for that Hemi V8 then you're just fine!
Yup enterprise cars are always base models
The 8.4 is not the standard radio, the 7" screen is standard.
It's not a 2018.
Yep. I've got a base RT. Wish I would have got a Scat instead of it, but at least it's still a V8. A painfully slow one.
Awesome Video.
Really cool car
Nice vid. Fast and smooth.
This car is slow as shit.
I ❤️ the active exhaust
Im buying this in 2020🙏🙏
Picking up mine in 2 weeks, best of luck brother
Nate Mcgee how is it?
Did you get it??
Boutta get a 2019 this month
You wont be disappointed
Sport mode and Autostick are awesome. Just got the 2017 SXT V6, it's amazing for a V6.
v6? u a Jew?
Tom's Test Kitchen yeah even the runt of dodge's pack is still nice to drive, but it's very much worth every cent to get that V8
Take it bck v8 or no go
If people don't buy V6s there will be no V8s...so stop hating on other peoples choices and face facts.
Jampee Saenthongkham Would’ve been nice to get a V8, but not so nice to pay 500-600$ in just insurance with a clean record
Eying a 345 T/A. Love the old-school details with modern touches.
I got a black challenger R/T 2021 comes with Active Exhaust stock .It has super track pack too . Tons of fun for my daily commute
Dodge is my favourite car 😘😍😎
Beena Biala Dodge is my favorite cars to race against.. Mustang GT owner :)
Death Proof Why would losing races be your favorite? People have strange hobbies.
Stick shift is just the enthusiast option.
Before a few days i was having a ride in 17' R/T and it was amazing.
I watch these vids with my morning coffee gets the blood flowing.
Just bought a charger rt level 1.scat kit with then 8 speed trans
Wish my 2017 Challenger R/T POV turned out this well... maybe I shouldn't have used a $40 Amazon camera? Lol, great video my friend.
Thanks Beau! I used a Go Pro that costed around $300 not super cheap. Thanks for the comment!
Great video! Keep up the good work!
Bro this the best vid i seen about this car.only 5 mins nd no talking?? 5 🌟 s
It would be cool If you had a smaller screen to display the gauges.
Sounds just like a lion

Car sounds great!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Love the car. My 2015 is almost exactly the same. Few button changes thats about it.
I test drove a 2018 rt challenger, loved it
I did yesterday and was awestruck cause it was my first time driving a muscle car
Damn this car is about as bare as they get. No paddle shifters even.
Ouch can those dents in the truck be fixed? I see so many pictures of those when browsing used cars.
Where did you get this rental from?? I know Enterprise offers a "Sporty" class but I'm afraid the Challenger pictured on their website will be the V6.
Thanks
Watching this while sitting in my SXT 😭
😂😂😭
An SXT cant be that bad

Nice ride 🔥🔥
Nice video but for reference how tall are you? Alsohow far down and back do you have the seat?
I’m 5’11”, I do have the seat further back than what I’m normally comfortable with due to my filming angle. The Challenger is the best muscle car for a taller/larger Individual
You anticipated with that launch bro .. but I still gave your video a like!!
Like for The Weeknd and the beautiful car😍😍😍
im getting this as my first car, is it easy to control? and would you recommend it as a first car?
The challenger handles so well it’s sturdy. It’s not great on turns because it’s really wide. For a first car definently recommended.
I have the new Hemi Srt8 but my 04 e55 AMG eats it’s breakfast by 2 lengths in the quarter mile ??
Mines in storage .. miss it so much.. lol

No paddle shifters? My 2017 Charger has them and thought it was standard on every new model with a automatic
That would be nice if it was standard on the Challenger. I was just on Dodge's website looking at that difference. I wonder why the difference. What do you think?
It's not the track addition is why. The Base R/T has no paddle shifters but the R/T Plus does
i dont like paddle shifters
I have a 2016 RT plus and that didn't come with paddle shifters.
Super Track Pak gives you paddles, lower stiffer suspension, and the Performance pages with Launch control!
Can't wait till next year I'm buying one damn😫😫😫
Did you get it?
Man I so want one, I'm really curious in which one I'd buy, the auto or manual, both are superb
Auto
This feels like one of them found footage movies
Wish we had these for rental in my area!
Oh lord i have it in the name of Jesus🙏
I have a stock 2012 V6 mustang and I paid 13 for it and got 0-60 times of 5.6-5.9, Mopar did not do well on these 5.7s
my next car, but with manual gearbox definitely!
if u had to pick a car would u pick charger or challenger
Challenger all day!
And no donuts on parking lot ???
So I'm assuming this is a base rt? How does the stereo sound?
Stereo was surprisingly good. I would say better than most stock stereos, I wouldn't mind this as my daily driver
JW Motors yeah I wouldn't either. I'm really wanting a mustang gt bit the challenger Definetly has more room (back seats for my kiddos) and looks great. Plenty quick to have fun. Enjoyed your video
if you want the heart of a muscle car and the practicality of a sedan charger the way to go. Plenty of room for the kiddo's and tons of power.
JW Motors The stereo sucks by the way this car was just basic bullshit I just bought one manual and I’m about to trade it in it is the worst shifting car I’ve ever had every kind I would ship the transmission sounded like it was bouncing off the chassis dodge is cheap as fuck i’m going to get screwed on my trade so i’m even trading for a 370z I guess since i don’t want to pay more to get an automatic
Stock exhaust?
Yep! Dodge knows how to make an awesome stock exhaust!
Why only 65 and not 100+? Drive around in the parking lot and no donuts lol.
I know man! I'll do 100+ and donuts next time!
My goal is to get this car next year
is very nice
How do you the manual mode on this challenge im trying to figure it out
Buy a 6 speed. Lol jk though
1:31 What’s that music?
The Weekend - I Feel It Coming
Thanks JW Motors
Nice but why not get a 2007 charger srt8 like me, it costs half as much and gets 0-60 over a second faster
I don’t own the car myself, but good point. It’s just a preference thing I guess. Thanks for the comment
@@JWMotors thanks for responding to your viewers! Great channel!
Thank you for the support!
Not to mention pricing 🤦♂️ the rt starts at around 45$ you can get a 5.0 for about 35 and it’s faster sheesh dodge over priced then!
@@guilmergl completely agree, you can get a hellcat for 50 though, that's really well priced
I thought you were going to swing it
Looks like that slap stick is just as fun or more fun than paddle shifters
Is that a stock exhaust or flowmaster
It's stock exhaust surprisingly. From the inside the car sounds really good!
Andre Thornton the 2017s come with active exhaust... Sounds awesome in sport mode and when it slows down it sound like it's rev matching I love the car
How much horsepower does this car have? Is it a 5.7 hemi or 6.4 hemi engine?
5.7 hemi and I think they are listed to get 375 horses.
What is this a manual transmission or automatic bc at first he’s shifting and then he’s not ???
shawn hardin it’s an automatic with auto manual, so I am technically shifting but it’s considered in the car world an automatic transmission
The weeknd on the radio😍😍😍
Nice to see how to use The manual shift through this lol
What dose pov mean?🤔
Point Of View
You gotta put some anime stickers that will give you 50 hp broda
Was this stock r/t or a scat pack
Base R/T
What part of Wyoming is this
Its utah. Springville, Utah
Is that a stock exhaust?
505 enthusiast Yes...Sport mode opens up the exhaust. U see him switch to it when he 1st get n2 the car
The active exhaust works without Sport Mode too.
The 2017's and 18 R/Ts come with the louder active exhaust.
I would love this as my daily driver, but I'm worried the mileage is just gonna rape my wallet over time
I love the body style as it really recalls the 1970s. But the 5.7L is a deal breaker for me. With the 392 Hemi being priced so high it loses value to the Camaro SS and Mustang GT, as both of these cars are lighter and handle better than the Challenger.
Great comments. If the 392 was cheaper I’d own one. Personally I love the Camaro SS 1LE!
why the screen so little
R coz its not 2017
It's a 7" screen which is standard, the 8.4 screen is optional.
I really hope the car was warm before you pinned the throttle.
I warmed her up, don’t you worry 😉
JW Motors Thank you good😁
إنشاءالله ايصيرلي سياره جارجر اتمنا واحد دزلي
Did this man just launch it on a cold start? Smh
I had been driving the car all day, don't worry.
Szuper Dodge ☺☺☺✌👑👍👌👊Hungary☺☺☺
This is nothing compared to my hermanos redeye 😂 still great car tho 🔥
You should straight pipe it
Am I inside a fish tank?
A Challenger ain’t a Challenger without a V8.
V6 AWD is the exception. Not the most ideal for performance but that AWD system does wonders for inclement weather, especially the snow belt
Signals out of a empty parking lot and smashes the throttle....
like a rental
that's a v8? :(
I don't care if something is quicker....for me it's about the feeling from driving the car, not being a second quicker or slower. If you really want quicker, go buy a motorcycle.
Comfortable and roomy as hell too…great grand tourer. Plus I hate it when people compare their Mustangs and Camaros to Challengers. Those are pony cars, not muscle cars. Would take a Chally over them any day
Fuckin Sick bruh! 🤙🏽
This is why I hesitate to buy rentals, people beat on them crazy cuz its not theirs
The only pov i watch is......... nvm
can these car drive in winter?
Nauman Ali if you buy winter tires it can
They freeze.
