Dodge is the last brand truly keeping the American Muscle vibe alive. I love my Charger Scatpack. It may not be the fastest car out there but it's fun as hell to drive.
@@UncleTequila Bruh its a ZF not even an FCA transmission used by almost every car manufacturer because its the best torque converter transmission ever built no joke google it
Yeah but just for 2021 due to some new emission laws. Apparently the track hawk will still be good to same for this. I have 2019 HC charger, AMAZING. Wife has the standard Durango. We need this!
newphone whodis it’s interesting if u look at track records even the Scat pack and srt Charger and Challenger have faster lap times than those cars. They made an AWD Hemi from 2011-2014 but it’s not near as fun as Rwd even tho it’s a tiny bit faster
I own a mildly modified 05 GMC Yukon Denali with the 6.0/AWD drivetrain. It’s lowered 5/6inches, has basic bolt-on’s for power, and a tune. It’s also much lighter than the Durango SRT. I’m sure mine is not as quick, but since I only paid 6500 for mine used, that’s a ton of smiles per gallon for a 10th of the price. I won’t lie tho, if I had the $$$$, I’d buy that Durango SRT with the same white stormtrooper vibe and join the 501st legion of the Galactic Empire and terrorize baby yoda crossover SUV’s in my spare time.
Bought a 2019 Jeep GC SRT last year. Great little SUV! I've been in a wheelchair for 23 years and sport cars aren't built for carrying wheelchairs. I can have that sports car feeling and still carry by ball and chain. Installed some Eibach springs and just ordered a Kooks cat back. Huge fan of that naturally aspirated 6.4 Hemi. Great review!
@@adaywithdante9623 of the springs getting installed or of the car with them installed on them? I only have pics of the after. It was the pro springs. It's a mild drop but looks real clean.
@@adaywithdante9623 the car rides well. The SRT has adjustable suspension when placed in different drive modes (auto, sport and track) if left in auto or sport it rides very nice. Track stiffness things up a bit. I'm sure that really has nothing to do with the springs. It feels real nice and tight.
Love these reviews because you are just such a car dude. No mention of cubic feet worth of storage in the back or how many cup holders... just... is it loud? Yeah! Is it fun? Yeah! Should you really consider it? Hellyeah! These are the kind of reviews I need in my life.
I have a 2019 Durango rt with a carbon fiber lmi intake, full corsa exhaust, and a peddle commander and love it. Family can jump in and go anywhere and I can play anytime I want. Definitely an awesome ride. Pops between shifts are definitely a plus. Try shifting right at 4500 and it pops real loud.
I drove a V6 version of this generation Durango for a trip and I fell in love with it overall. The only thing missing from the truck was a V8 since it is such a heavy vehicle
4:49. I didn’t think these cars were as fast as they were until someone got on it. It was someone going on to the freeway at full throttle in one of these and I had a suprised look on my face!! 😂 I thought it was just a marketing scheme
The Durango and Cherokee SRT provide 8/10ths of the experience that a X5 M or GLE 63 would save for the refinement and overall build quality that push those cars over the edge in terms of being the complete package.
It all depends on what you are after. Many are after just the performance and the Dodge Durango SRT give that while lacking in the refinement you talk of that would be in a X5 or GLE 63. I shopped all of them and honestly for me it was about the performance for the dollars. Dodge wins that hands down. You still get lots of good extras too. The UConnect system is great and with the Peformance Pages you get every type of information you would want. Heated seats Front/Rear, etc. all make for a solid vehicle.
I have the Rango SRT since 2018. It's an amazing truck. I test drove a few other options, but couldn't compare to this beast. I'm just waiting for my order on the Rango hellcat now 😉😊
Simple: they understood the market. People with money to spend on cars tend to go for trucks SUVs, and sports/muscle cars. The Dart and Chrysler 200 were decent cars, but at the end of the day they didn't bring home the bacon. Sure enough, axeing those and focusing on their performance & utility vehicles is better for them financially. What we have right here is a hybridization of models, aimed at those who would otherwise get a Challenger/Charger but need something more practical and utilitarian.
I'm 16 and this is my dream car. Right now I'm stuck with a 2015 v6 Durango which still has more get up and go than most other SUVs. I still drive it like it's an srt. I'm thinking about learning how to use the paddle shifters
So I’m about to trade in my 2018 DDSRT this week for a 21’ BMW X5, the Durango was fun and fast and very capable for its size but at the end of the day it’s still a Dodge with crappy plastics all over and dated and slow electronics. The X5 is like being in a spaceship when compared to what’s offered in the Durango for around the same price point. Is it fun to rip 4.1 0-60’s in a giant SUV, yes but getting 11.7 mpg was not as fun, nor was burning through a set of pads and rotors in 12k miles. I’ll miss the speed but that’s about it. On a side note I was pleasantly surprised to learn there was actually equity in the vehicle at the end of my lease and I’ll make about $4500 on the trade in so it actually held its value quite well in the 3 yrs I’ve had it.
Ive had a 2015 Durango R/T for the last almost 2 years and I love it, its like the ultimate fun road trip car, BUT after seeing the srt durango a while ago and test driving it, i want to trade up soooo bad lol
I dunno about anywhere else but in SoCal the Dodge owners that own SRT Durangos, Chargers & Challengers are drivin around like BMV / AUDI drivers now lol
My biggest love for dodge is how retarded fast there cars are while still being a giant boat to haul groceries in and be comfortable on long road trips.
Dodge is on the consumer side. It may not make much “sense” business wise but they understand what the people like and want. Therefore all these cars are selling like hot cakes...
See the thing with Chrysler is that there is pretty much a fun version of every car they make. Ford and GM need to take notes. Mustang and Camaros are pretty much the only fun cars they offer maybe the corvette if you can afford it but really id rather have a Hellcat for the money.
Dodge is releasing a Durango Hellcat for 2021, which is the bigger trackhawk that somehow is theoretically as fast or even faster than the trackhawk. My father owns a 2005 Dodge Durango Limited, which has the fastest available engine, the 5.7 Hemi, and man that thing is crazy. I can't imagine what the srt or the srt hellcat would feel like.
you left out the 603hp GLS 63 AMG and the 600+hp Alpina XB7 also the SQ7 that's coming out with 500ish hp but those cost well into the $100-150k range haha
I love my “man van” as my buddies call it lol. I have the 5.7 Cotadel and it’s great. I can only imagine the looks you’ll receive as you fly by someone in the ole Slowrango. I will own this Durango as me next car.
They are hella fun, even the 5.7 with bolt ons have that same fun factor, I got a lowered 2019 Jeep GC Limited X with the hemi and bolt ons and it’s fun as hell aka the poor mans SRT lol
Here in europe we scramble to meet EU- regulations and rush EV´s to the market. Meanwhile in ´Merica a mother collecting her kids from school could smoke your sportscar with her HellCat Grand- Cherokee or Durango at the next light :)
My 2013 Explorer sport in its stock form is only down 110HP from this thing, both are awd, both have 3 rows. Now i only paid 20K for mine. Lol I got the explorer for my business that im starting. I was looking for corvettes, and high Hp cars for myself, but thought I need a car that had power, is fun to drive, can tow 5,000 pounds, has room for boxes, and what ever else. I cut the mufflers off of the explorer, now now the twin turbo 3.5 V6 sounds like a sports car. The moms must envy me. Lol
@@RCXDerp bro It is black, and if im doing 90 plus in the fast lane people get out of my way. Its the best. Definitely not why I got it, but I can't say it doesn't make me laugh
They make amazing rides, just don't expect them to last more than 8 years. I got suckered into a Dodge in 2008. Loved it for about 6 years and then it just fell apart
@@nawscawp It was mostly problems with the engine which was an engine available in multiple vehicles both entry level and higher end vehicles. That is why I went back to Toyota. Even their lower end models get quality parts.

The smile on his face is the selling point. That is what srt is good at, making the driver smile.
Until the transmission brakes after 2 years.... Trust me... I heard from alot of people who owned a srt that the transmissions suck 💀
I'm going to be honest, I don't really care. This video was a review of how the vehicle drives, not of its reliability.

haha i had to trade in my ats-v for one when baby#3 arrived...
😂😂😂Right!
Grow up = Sell your soul and get rid of all the things you like to raise your family
SAGA EJ1 this is actually correct. This was my Durango that David is reviewing and this is what happen to me when I had my SRT Charger. 🤣
These SRT engineers are wild and I love it. I’m kinda surprised they didnt do an SRT version of the Dart. I think that’d be neat
It was honestly a missed opportunity i wondered the same they could've made a direct competitor to the focus rs and the sti and so on
@@CrwdCntrl5.0 especially with the gaping hole mitsubishi left in the market
It was almost made but the dart/200 had poor sales so the idea was axed
They were going to make an SRT4 version but they cancelled the idea due to poor sales.

*Same can be said for the Durango Hellcat.*
You see the even newer HELLCAT version that's out now! You got another one to do lol.
I have a SRT Durango and I love the thing. It’s very fun to drive and I’ve had tons of performance vehicles over my lifetime.
I'm getting my wife this for me lol
underrated comment
Lmao
Dodge is one of the few auto makers that cater to real enthusiasts anymore
It’s on my shortlist of suvs I would buy and I don’t even have any kids or a fam! I just love the presence and the utility of the thing.
All I’m saying is a Caravan SRT8 and Dart SRT4 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️

Me: I wish they gave Durango the Hellcat Treatment
Dodge: Wish granted
More like the 392 Scat Pack treatment. No supercharger and no 707 horses = no Hellcat.
