I have a 2018 AWD GT Challenger and I love it! Only gone through a couple of snow storms but it handled like a champ in those conditions. It’s the best looking practical car you can own! IMHOP.
I live in Minnesota, so a awd car is a must. I have a 2018 awd challenger, I put flowmaster on it straight piped the rest, cold air intake, tune, wider tires and now this car is a dream. I did not get this car to race just needed a little power in a beautiful American car.
Nice review. I'm getting tired of the meatheads who say that a muscle car needs a V8 when it doesn't. This trim serves a purpose which was covered in the video. I'm an RT owner, but I have nothing but respect for the GT and SXT owners. Not everyone is able to afford a V8 and this is a great alternative. Speed is something that's not coveted by everyone. There's looks, AWD and gas mileage to consider as well
I have this car and with some mods this thing is a bad ass in bad weather states. I'm not trying to race everybody just need to look good with a American car that I can afford with some power
I just picked up a 2018 F8 Green AWD GT. It has the blacktop package. Looks incredible. I love this car. The V6, while not hanging with the R/Ts, SRTs, ect, is a peppy fun engine with plenty of power for day to day driving. Mine came with Magnapacks and the Hellcat style high beam intake installed and is a blast to drive. Everyone loves this car despite it being a 6 Cylinder.
@@ttrider0125 Only on the exhaust. I had Big Boz 4s installed and still had warranty work done under my extended warranty with no issues. In my opinion the Big Boz are the best exhaust for the 3.6L. Sounds better than the magnapacks or bullets.
I have a DC AWD 2023 at only 13 miles and now 5 months later only 1010 miles fun drive, great Lake Tahoe ride people look at me in the snow as I go by love this Dodge good MPGs too reliable to.
Have an '18 AWD GT and literally love the car. Call it the Beast. Glides through snow with no problem. Living in Minnesnowta AWD is a necessity and this puppy does justice to the wintery environment! I will be getting a '20 model soon enough.
what part of minnesota do you live in because i also live in MN and was between this and a sti but i wasnt sure if the awd system would be able to handle the snow here?
I live in NH, need an AWD car, and I prefer coupes. I've mostly only been looking at Merc, BMW, and Audi, but this is an interesting choice. Would definitely save a lot of money with this, but not sure if it's sporty and fun enough, which is really the only reason to get a coupe. Would definitely be very interesting if they made a V8 AWD
I have a 17 challenger gt awd and the worst part about this car is if your window gets ice on it is extremely difficult to get in. Other then that it is one of the best daily drivers you can possibly get. (Got the American exhaust because it was way to quite haha)
dudeeee i have a 19 challenger awd gt and i know your pain with the dumb windows😂😂 i was stuck out of my car and i forced the door open and had the heat on for at least 20 minutes before i could slide my card to free the window so i could shut my door all the way lol
You've come a long way in your reviews, currently, over all. You are now (in 2023) also quite a bit kinder and unbiased concerning your take on these vehicles😉. I guess that's what time and experience get you. Well done just the same!
Weird question but how is the sound quality on this? I love to listen to music with heavy bass and I am just wondering whether the audio sounds good in the car?
It’s equipped with the Harman kardon 900watt speakers, pretty decent tbh. It’s not super high quality but it’s not cheap at all either. Great bass when songs go hard. Some challenger models have the upgraded sound system as well with heavier bass
Still want this VEHICLE.... but I NEED a 3 car garage to park THIS BABY along with my 05 Dakota that plan to KEEP at least until they bring out another ( 106 ) miles on mine , the other space in my 2 car FILLED with my yard equipment
My 2500 lb Subaru has more tq than that. How does that 4000 lb car pass as a muscle car. Like that it's AWD though. Wondering what the new body style for this thing is going to look.
Realistically, a vehicle like this: Large, V6, AWD isn’t a muscle car, its a Grand Touring car. Hence the GT badging. These cars are meant to be long distance cruisers, not drag strip monsters. When you move up into the RWD V8 variants, then they can be considered traditional muscle cars.
The high stance is good for daily driving. Getting in and out. I own a plumb crazy scatpack shaker and its pretty low. I can see how the more economical models would be more practical.
Seriously, I get 258 ft. lbs of torque from 2,000-5200 rpm and my car weighs 3120 lbs, a bit less than the big guy. I'm not saying it wouldn't be fun to drive, but I live in snow country.
I'd love to get one so I could drive a Challenger more comfortably during the Colorado winters, but if only they would drop a proper V8 in there and give it wider tires...the exhaust note is absolutely anemic, and the tires that come with it look like they were taken from a Dodge Caravan.
Muscle car that's funny.... this is like walking around with a fake muscle suit on... plus for 50 grand just but a V8... I get awd but that doesn't make up for lack of power.
Test drove one and it's realy much slower than I was expecting, kinda lumbering. Calling it a muscle car is a stretch.... They need to make those with the bigger engines. No idea why they just put the 300hp in it. Make it an option to put the bigger ones then it might be worth it.
@11:11" pretty easy to drive it around , and maneuver it" as you almost crash lol
😂😂I saw that too
Good catch lol

Have RWD, with some blizzaks and a light foot on the pedal she drives great! Can only imagine the AWD! 👍

How much do you like this car? Do you recommend it? I’m thinking about getting one for my first car

I’m getting one as well! Always wanted one of these
“Husband surprised me with a black one today”
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
@@ELP1125 shut it
You don’t get into the rear of coupes from the driver side. They’re always designed to enter through the passenger....
Oh I didn’t know that
The passenger side has the sliding bar for the seats to move forward faster.
I wish dodge would put AWD in the scat pack
For anyone wondering. These sound pretty dope for a v6 with some pipes.
Has a nice throaty sound in low rpms
I love that there is a screen off button. I don't need that 8 inch light all in my face while I'm driving at night.
My mother is going to get one of these
My mom just got a brand new one today💀
I hope the challenger doesn't become the go-to car for girls. Tell them to chill
@Chris Ruiz that's very true. Sport and muscle cars are not selling and are dying. I take what I said back
Arturo Martinez exactly!
No one asked

i have a ‘19 AWD GT and also in Minnesota and it sticks to the road with no problems, handles the snow very well
I'm in Minnesota too 20 minutes north of the cities
Watched this video before I bought mine and really made me more comfortable and more informed which really helped thx
Please show the Monroney Sticker when talking about price of any vehicle -- I'm guessing that particular model was loaded with options
My favorite muscle car!! Good review Ben.

This car is HEAVY!!!!!!
Live in Canada looking for a car for my wife. Hard to believe you can get one of these for the same price as a golf gti. Gotta love dodge discounts
Im in canada too man, looking for prices right now, damn gt 2020 is expensive
Thanks for uploading Gt AWD
Idk I mite get a gt next I currently got 2019 sxt plus challenger awd... I just love the Awd drive function
Great Review, loving my 2019 Gt
I also have the all white 2019 GT Plus RWD and i absolutely love the thing. I only drive in sport mode and it's a beast in my opinion.
I wish that the Demon and the Hellcats were AWD
I have this EXACT car in a 2021
35K miles
What is the trade in value?
Illinois or N Indiana or Wisconsin
test drove this a few days ago and bruh GAH DAMN this shit feels massive

Great video man keep it up
Thugnificent thank you👍🏻👍🏻
Do you need to turn the AWD on? Or is it constantly in AWD? Sorry if that’s a silly question
Its does it automatically depending on the weather conditions
42k for a v6. Crazy
Raiders Fan facts tf they thinking
An sti in canadia is a few grand more
Tf a new GT where I live it’s only 27k
Dokiboki 94 same here it’s 32 k California
He is definitely looking at MSRP from the website. V6 Challengers are cheap in Texas. As low as 24 for SXT models
Great video man, just what I needed 👍
Great song by Level 42, “Something About You.” Too bad we couldn’t hear it. Mark King is a bass-playing king.
8:25, now I see why people always say something about break in after 500 miles, now I see what they were talking about
Thats Utah Driving 201...literally seconds later he stops on top of the pedestrian walkway
Does it have parking sensors on the front? Thanks!

The V6 challenger has that same 3.6L pentastar engine they got in those jeep wranglers they haul pretty good, but gotta agree V6 ain’t a muscle car.
I WANT THIS PLUS model I’m READY TO BUY !( but with the BRIGHT foot pedals ) CAN’T seem to locate one in my DETROIT area ☹️
A good video, I enjoyed the sound clip. I'd like to see you review a hellcat someday! 😄
Erik Racz soon hopefully!
AMAZING CAR
Dallas_Pandora420 fun to drive for sure
If r/t was awd, I'd buy in a heartbeat
Watching this cuz they upgraded my rental to a cherry red one. Cool car.
Lol I wanna buy this car & I don’t even have a bot experience driving. Last time I went for practice, I literally went over the side walk lmfaoo
If ever i get a chance, i will try to buy 1!
The stance is too high, unless you’re taking her off road. Other than that, 👍.
rgrndu I like it for daily use
The high stance is good for daily driving. Getting in and out.
I own a plumb crazy scatpack shaker and its pretty low. I can see how the more economical models would be more practical.
Good for my terrible knees and arthritis. Easier to get in and out of.
The GT AWD I believe has a couple of inches higher ground clearance because it was meant for bad weather / snow and not street racing.
I was thinking the same thing rgrndu. You can definitely lower it like two inches and still have plenty of clearance
2020 challenger or a 2020 camaro ?
Challenger
I would kill to get my hands on one of these lol
2 Dodge challengers Awd matte black auto
Imagine that car having a scat package 6.4 engine with awd let just say bad azz
it'd be so heavy lol
Those 19 inch wheels look small.. got a 2021 .. comes standard with 245, 45, 20 inch wheels.. much better 😌
No spare tire??

Remote starts , says hear that 3.5l .... 🧐😂
take off was LOL. use the paddleshifters next time ;)

Are all GT’s a V8?
None are v8 all 3.6L v6
wish they had a v8 awd
Around 2 minutes you say 3.5 liter, isn't it a 3.6 liter? I couldn't continue to watch if you know so little about the car. 👎👎

I wish I could take out the interior and put a Hyundai style interior.
$3?, Horse race?, Served? Ruled/Named?
ماشاء الله التشالنجر حلوه
nice AWD specs...
Yhe only thinv that bugs me are those skinny wheels
dont buy a v6 just the hemi version you wont regret it.
If only they had an AWD V8 where you can switch between AWD an RWD.
Nice, but I need the sound of the V8!
Not a muscle car there pony cars.
Damn!! Ooowwweee!!!

I don't get the point of this. It's like a lose lose situation, it's trying to be a practical muscle car, but it's not practical... or a muscle car.
Dono lol
It's the same car every year. Wish they'd make a more grown-up classy looking trim remincent of a 70s Plymouth.
3.5 ? Com on ...
Wacko
No V8, no deal.
Why no 4 door thing they be nice
