Decided to show the RT guys and gals some love with this one. Hope you stay safe out there..
No love for the Chrysler 300 Hemi?
RacerX you too brother stay safe out there
Thanks
Just purchased a 2019 RT yesterday for 25k$ I'm new to the mopar club . I love the 8 speed responsiveness compared to the 6 r80 speed mustang
Anthony Chambers I would love a 300s 5.7 as a daily
One day I’ll be able to own one, I’m 17 and day dream about these cars every day!
Edit: My dream has been achieved, got my R/T on December 10th, 2020! Hard work pays off.
You can get one pretty easily if you dont mind going the dealership route.
Yeah you might get alot of shit for overpaying, but when it comes down to it, everyone does it. Dont worry about getting approved, theres credit unions that will approve you if you have job history and a good couple grand upfront.
I just went this route for my 4th fen gen eclipes back in june when these stimulus went out..
I dont regret it one bit.
@@ert-wert I’m looking for an 08-10 SRT8 or 09-14 R/T, I saved a couple thousand since I made that comment. I’m making progress! :)
One day yes wait markie until you can afford it comfortably
@@breadman5048 I got one 3 weeks ago finally :)
Love seeing the R/T appreciation
Hey Serg 🤜🔥🔥
I love my charge R/T it’s an awesome car
Best entry level v8
fuck yeah!
@Credit Razer that’s dope man. I forgot I made this comment 😂😂 but yeah man enjoy it, I’m looking to get one myself
For everyone asking about gas mileage. I have the 5.7 with the 5 spd and I average mid 20’s. I have gotten into the upper 20’s on road trips if I drive sensibly. The problem is I don’t like driving sensibly, it isn’t any fun.
Lol.. yea I don’t know anything about that sensible driving business lol
16 mpg avg in my 8speed when i drive and push some gas around the city lpl its a good car
I get average 18mpg in my ‘14 Dodge Charger RT. Not bad.
lol I get 13.7 right now :(
@@RacerX9 I can relate 🤣 I don’t know none of that sensible driving stuff. Every stop light seems like I’m at the track and I gotta smoke whoever it is beside me at the light 🤣 everytime! Better safe than sorry
I had a RT before my scat pack, enjoyed the hell out of it. Great daily driver and grocery getter but still was able to have tons of fun with it. Local dealer had really good deals on scat packs so I had to make the jump.
Sublime392 .. both platforms are great.. can’t go wrong with either one 👍
My friend can i ask you something? How thats jump works? You should pay the car for one year or more so then you can upgrade for another car?
Hows the jump? More fun than the rt?
Real talk, about how much more do you spend with a Scat Pack? You can leave any aftermarket mods out of that number.
@@habitatnatural5661 o
RTs are so under appreciated, im glad to find this review!
They are?
@@cezanini23 yeah most ppl go with SRTs
I’ve been looking into RT’s and I’m so glad there are some people who actually appreciate these types of cars
Scat pack for my daily, but a used r/t is a great package for price, power, and practicality.
tinyman520 .. agreed my friend 👍
tinyman520 scat pack daily over here as well👌👌👌
Chadwick Holcomb I got the 17 in octane red with 45000 on it now. Best daily I’ve ever had. What year is yours?
Same here Scatpack for a daily. Best daily I have ever had.
tinyman520 2020 scat in frostbite blue. Absolutely love it . Best daily out there.hellcat next
I personally owned a 2015 Challenger SXT Plus and traded it for the 2019 Challenger Rt Plus. These are great cars and roomy . The power of the V6 isn't something to laugh at just because you don't have a HEMI. I loved that car had less than 10k mileage on 2015 . Decided to upgrade to Hemi just cause i could. I am not disappointed in 5.7 Hemi. You don't have to sink yourself into debt just to have a great drive. Thank you Racer X for us RT lovers!! sincerely
How much do you pay for your car note and insurance? Because im currently trading my Sxt 2016 in for a Brand new Dodge Charger Rt 2019
@@agent47idk15 I can share insurance quotes for the SXT and R/T Charger. I was quoted$148/month for the R/T and $138/month for the SXT. Pretty much pocket change difference. Beleive it or not, the Chrysler 300 model S with 5.7 hemi engine was also $138/month like the SXT Charger.
I like how you show love to all trims and models. There’s something for everybody out there. Your a real stand up dude bro. One of my fav channels.
Love my ‘18 R/T. Would’ve gotten a mustang or camaro but I have friends to haul around😂. Definitely doesn’t perform like a mustang gt or camaro ss but the punch when you step on it is enough for me. Love the appreciation for the 5.7 they don’t get enough credit.
Bought an 2020 RT 2 weeks ago. It’s been a long time since I’ve taken the long way home. I love it. 392 or a hellcat next year.
Awesome stuff.. I hope your enjoying that new ride 👍
Suicide Djinn i have both the rt an the hellcat i love them both
Hellcat my goal as well hopefully next February
Even if you still did it whould probably take only like 0.3seconds to get home. Lol
Traded it in for a 50th anniversary Challenger TA with the 6.4. #6 of 70 😁
I have been kicking around the 2 for years. Back in 2017 I missed out on the SRT Durango by 3 months and it bothered me a lot for the first year or 2. But recently I have been reconsidered my position especially for a daily driver.
My Neighbor picked up a Jeep SRT and he said the gas mileage is horrible. I have a R/T Durango and it gets way better gas mileage and I use it as a daily.
My Wife has a all wheel drive 2019 Charger in Purple and she loves it. She wanted a HEMI but they didn't offer it in all wheel drive.
That car has a nice amount of power for what it is and the HEMI absolutely has more power and is much more fun. or a Daily Driver I think the 5.7L is a perfect balance between fun fuel and daily abilities. Dodge has done a great job offering all the different engine and trim levels so there is one for everyone.
Excellent job on the video, Thanks.
Couldn’t agree more! Which is why I’m
Getting an R/T. A srt would be fun, but an R/T will be more than enough for me while still gettting good gas mileage. Speed isn’t everything for me
Awesome video. Thanks for shedding some light on the R/T. It's a real diamond in the rough in the car culture. You nailed the R/T's purpose dead on. Good stuff man 👍
Double Yellow .. thank you my friend 🤜🔥🔥
Double Yellow he def nailed i i love my rt an my hellcat the rt is my daily an that my baby for real they have a great amount of power
I started out in a new 2012 Challenger R/T, then traded it for a 2013 SRT-8 and traded that for a Challenger Hellcat which I drive now. After owning all 3 I’ve had the most fun in the SRT-8 because you can use all the power ! The Hellcat is a different animal, you cant use all the power, it has way to much torque in town. Hell it spins the tired doing 70mph ! I’m afraid of the gas pedal, it’s not like that in the R/T & SRT-8 👍🏽
Alan Zolotoff .. the hellcat is definitely an adjustment. I will admit that that I love the low end punch on the 392 though
Alan Zolotoff hell yea man i have an rt an a hellcat an the hellcat is dam near insanity shit breaks loose at 70 lol i love it but it get scary sometimes
I own a 2015 Charger RT road and track in b5 blue. Love my car to death. I got it 3 months ago at just under $20k with 40k miles. The car is fully optioned aside from adaptive cruise control. It looks super aggressive with satin black wheels and tint, and has pretty much everything you can ask for. RTs are an amazing in between car and give u an opportunity to really learn about mopar before jumping into higher maintenance cars like hellcats and scatpacks!
Max S .. glad your enjoying the RT .. it’s a great all around package
Hell of a deal bro
nice deal!
I’ve got a 06 RT 90k miles, Flowmaster exhaust...running strong!....Thanks for the video...the RT is definitely affordable and fun to drive💯
Totally want one for my next daily driver. I agree it's the perfect combo of fun and still practical. The scatpack is awesome but if I feel that's better suited as a weekend toy/track car.
Thank you for making this video!
Practicality is the main reason why I want a Charger R/T. I want a fun car that I can Daily Drive while not being excessive on insurance and Fuel costs 😁
I think it’s a solid choice 👍
This sold me on the RT thanks for the great review!
I had a 12 SXT Challenger and went to a 18 R/T Challenger, the upgrade was well worth it. I have to agree with everything you said about this trim level. The R/T is a great daily driver and a great platform for just about anyone. My R/T was built with just about everything in a Scat but the motor. Love the channel, keep creating great content.
Love my R/T, best daily I’ve ever had.
These make great all purpose cars 👍
HemiStrong305 yes that’s my daily driver now!
How much did u negotiate for?
November 2020 I bought a 18 Charger GT, and I was involved in a wreck. A month later I bought a ‘19 Charger R/T. Best car purchase I have ever made. I drove it from Maryland to Alabama and back. Great car! My brother has a 2020 Challenger Scat Pack! We love Dodges! Great information in your videos @RacerX!
I just got a 2022 white Charger r/t with the black rims and badges and sunroof. I love the car, only thing that sucks is that it didnt come with leather seats. Wat about yours?
0-60 in 4.7 seconds is plenty can never get tired of the sound either
From Challenger Hellcat, to 392, to now an RT and couldn’t be happier and agree with this video review! Very practical and fun without every asshole asking me to race or do burnouts..
So u went from a hellcat to rt?
Jets Set . Yes sir...
@@cracker135 um why? I really wana know cuz I'm trying to get a scat
@@just_a5.7 It’s all about the eye of the driver.. I loved them, cost was not an issue in any of my decisions such as gas, insurance, etc. Hellcat, too much power for a daily for ME. 392, same thing , I just don’t need it.. It’s just personal choice, RT is right car for me just through process of elimination. Good luck with your choice!
Dude you are really keeping this channel alive while this corona bs is going on. Keep em coming, man! You have my support!
Thank you Jeremy.. much appreciated 👍
2021 Charger RT Daytona coming from the factory in July for me up here in Canada. Finally getting my Hemi ive wanted for years😍
I had a Camaro before my 2nd child was born. Now I have 3 kids. My Charger R/T is perfect for my budget and they are fun to drive.
Bought my 2018 RT this past December I'm very happy with it! Love the power!
Absolutely.. it’s a great package
The title alone is straight facts. Literally love mine to death it’s so nice
Coloxxus 🤜🔥🔥
I could not agree more, the R/T is a great package. I too was a drag racer, drove some fast cars ON THE TRACK, but on the street, being careful and smart, the R/T gives you a pretty aggressive fun experience. I leased a 2019 Challenger R/T Plus about a year ago and for a retired 74 year old guy, this car is everything I could want. It handles, stops, accelerates and sounds beyond my expectations in every daily driving condition, exceptional I would say actually. The car under normal driving is rock solid, comfortable, with every amenity one could want on a high tech near luxury car. The Challenger is proven, reliable, and clearly evolved over the years into a perfect muscle car daily driver.
Completely agree i have a 2015 Charger R/T already pay off I'm tempted to tradeoff but like you said everyone situation is different I'm happy so far I got some modifications flowmaster super 44,
265 continental extreme contact dws tires hellcat rims, K&N and a few stuff.
Love it.
I just bought mine on Memorial Day. 2023 Last Call R/T Daytona. I love it. Thank you for the video Racer X!
If you want to always take the initiative in any situation on the road, the RT is good for you. Youll never be scared about if youll make that merge or not.
Just purchased a 2019 rt for 21,500 with 26,000 miles on it. Used to be a dealer rental. This video helped me out a lot when it came to purchasing it. I was unsure at first. Thanks for the upload.
Thats an incredible price for an r/t wow congrats bro, im looking to get one at the price if im lucky
@@nydeviantgaming6872 search certified dealers online within 30 miles. Call and price match or try to get a better offer. Dealers can easily drop the price 10,000 less if they want the sale. If not you got plenty more options.
Like one of the poster below, I have the RT with 5.7 and the 5 speed also. I too average the mid 20s MPG and high 20s on road trips. I have driven several 5.7 RT's with the 8 speed. The 8 speed is a bit quicker and is better around in the 35-40 mile per hour driving speed. The 5 speed really does not know what gear to be in at 35-40 mph vs the 8 speed has no problem. Having said that, the 8 speed removes some of the true character of the car that the 5 speed has. The 8 speed feels like you are driving a Volvo muscle car when you hammer it. The 8 speed does everything right, smooth and perfect. However, the 5 speed when hammered holds each gear longer. You really feel the complete torque curve of the engine. The 5 speed sometimes can not make up it's mind what gear it wants to be so the motor has to make up for it's in-decisions. Just like non professional driver would if the car had a manual 5 speed. The 5 speed gives you more of the old school muscle car personality like the manual 4 speeds back in the day. Just my 2 cents.
The 5.7 Liter Hemi has 407 lb-ft of torque. What you feel in the car is the torque; not the horsepower. Horsepower is for top-end speed and for a daily driver that is almost never an issue. Also, the 5.7 liter is a little lighter than the 6.4 L and a lot lighter than the Hellcat. Since the rest of the car is pretty much the same otherwise this weight reduction moves the center of gravity down and rearward; both of which help handling and overall performance. Properly optioned, a 5.7 Liter is a sweet package especially when compared with the plain vanilla competition.... most of which have more in common with toasters than performance cars.
cnchess .. I’m finding that the RT can be a lot of fun as well 👍
cnchess your so right i own a hellcat an a rt the rt is much lighter an very controlable an has great torque
Completely agree. Had an r/t plus and loved it. A handful in rain an especially snow. Drove the scat and it’s too heavy to be a race car and too impractical for a daily. Also nobody options a scat well so you need the srt 392. The r/t is the best of both worlds for a daily. (Allegedly) raced many scats and to 127 they only put a car and a half at best from a roll, less from a stop. Great car. My 87 grand national is a bit more fun, but you crash you die. The r/t is a tank. Walk away from a 127 wall crash (allegedly).
I swear on my soul I'm buying a challenger in 20 days. I can afford it but I can't bring myself to pay 680 a month for a scat pack. Going RT and fuk the warranty
Try an SXT PLUS super fun challenger with all the bells and whistles, my son just got one I drove it yesterday super fun and I own a hellcat
The RT is a great all around package .. think you will like it 👍
Look around for a scat pack a year or two old, still under warranty. Probably less than a new rt with people not being able to keep them because of the economy.
I originally wanted a Pontiac GTO, but upon scouring the internet and seeing an ad for the Charger, I decided to check what they're up to these days.
Been in love ever since, found a 2019 GT Charger in my area for $26k, hoping to talk them down, pay a nice chunk up front, and pay lower monthly rates.
Reviewers like you are rare, because you seem to put actual effort in quality production, as well as in depth explanations. Bit of a rant, but basically just saying: Keep it up, appreciate it, yer doing a good job
2019 Daytona 392 daily love it, had rt before loved it to, my smiles per mile are larger with 392 well worth to me
Both are fantastic 👍
@@RacerX9 i actually start with a 3.6 loved it as well
I just bought a charger R/T last week 2019 Plum crazy and I don’t think I need more power for daily use and I enjoy it 💜
تنصح فيها ولا انفنتي افضل انا مستخدم ٦
Appreciate The love for the RT. I just bought one which is my first Dodge ever. Great vid you have a new follower 🔥🔥🔥
Welcome to the channel my friend
Joe B i have a hellcat an a rt as my daily that thing halls i love it you gonna fall i love with that thing 💯
Appreciate the RT love. The 5.7 gave birth to the 6.1 6.2 and 6.4 motors. I think people forget that because of the new powerful motors in the scat and hellcat the 5.7 has been a staple and workhorse motor dodge has ever made. It been around since 2003. I just think Dodge needs to rate the horsepower to 400hp vs 370hp. People would gravitate to the RT
rich2bad put some racing stripes on it, itll get that 400
I got a 2008 rt as my second car and I LOVE it. A little outdated obviously but coming from a Sebring, it feels pretty good.
SaucinEmUp nothing wrong with that my friend 👍
Love my 14 R/T
Heck yea 👍
facts!
I love my '14 100th ann R/T!
Any issue with u 14 Rt ?
I’m looking for a 2014 rn, what’s a good amount of miles and price point?
I own a 2014 R/T Blacktop package. love it, proud to own one, always wanted a Charger
Thank you for your insightful video on the R/T!! This puts me at ease that the R/T makes a great daily driver! I am doing my research on this car now and it will be the next car that I will own! I hope to make this a reality within the next year! I’ve been eyeing to get at a black R/T or black R/T Daytona (it’s got that sunroof and Harmon Kardon speakers) and I’m already planning my mods for it! What I love the most about this car is that it is a V8 sedan and its absolute beauty! I love seeing them on the road and I just know they are so much fun to drive!! I can’t wait to have my own!!!
I own a 17 5.7 Daytona and love it, I daily it and run autocross and PDE events. It's not the best at autocross or road coarse events but it is a lot of fun and affordable.
Just enjoy that thing .. that’s what it’s all about
I agree 100%.
I bought my '18 RT new and although I could have gotten a scat the RT put me in a more comfortable payment range and I got the plus package and super track pack at a price I could justify. It's a well rounded car with good power and great comfort. I averaged 28mpg from St.louis to Florida last year, whats not to love. Just wish it came with the 3.09 anti slip diff standard.
Right now the plan is to pay it off, keep it and buy a used challenger scat or maybe a even a hellcat down the road.
F8Green18 .. sounds like a great plan my friend
My guy I see this video was shot 3 years ago and at the end you said "we'll get over this virus thing soon". Well unfortunately im sitting here watching your video WITH THE VIRUS (COVID) lol. Very good info, I think you've just helped me make my decision (RT)!!
Wanted a good hwy car. Daytona with 5.7 was it. Good performance, great handling, very comfortable, great mpg, quiet just eats up hwy miles.👍👍👍 loved this car😎👍👍. Nooo I think 5.7 takes mid grade. I used Costco premium and got great mpg!!👍
I plan on getting one in a couple months , can’t wait 😎.
I’ll come back to this comment when I get mine 💪🏼
& a month later I finally got mine 💯
Thanks for showing some love to the RT My 18’ rt is a beast not the biggest and baddest but it’s definitely a fun car to have around
IM GETTING MY RT SOON AND I CANT WAIT
Hi uzi
How much did you negotiate for?
@@kjo3835 I got it for 40K it was smack brand new. Im the only owner
@@agent47idk15 happy for you man, how you liking the car so far?? I thinking about getting one soon too
@@outcast9784 i love it. Definitely enough power for the streets and freeway. But if you wanna race, you should get a scatpack or a higher trim level V8
Thanks for making this video, I definitely plan on getting a 5.7 for a daily one day
Absolutely.. hopefully you get it 🤜🔥🔥
Just got my 2019 yesterday for my first car and I already love it already, it sounds amazing!
Great looking Daytona 💪🏼 The 5.7 does allow people on a tighter budget more appearance and performance mods. I have heard some straight up nasty sounding 5.7’s. The exhaust is one of the first and best bang for your buck. Get video 👊🏼
I drove a '16 Charger R/T for a year before tragically losing it in an accident on the highway, but shortly afterwards managed to save my pennies and get an '18 R/T which I've been driving ever since. I've not had the opportunity to drive any of the higher packages, but I effin LOVE the R/T!
Granted the fact that the mere existence of the Hellcat has me constantly scratching my chin, its performance would largely go unused by me as there's no track near me and I don't race. The R/T is technically more car than I need but exactly what I want. Hell, I never really even put the thing in sport mode and still smoke 95% of the cars I meet.
Definitely just earned my sub and I hardly sub to channels. This was an awesome review!! Clear, to the point, informative and fun! Thank you!!
Awesome.. welcome to the channel my friend 👍
I got the Charger RT 2014 Anniversary Edition. Came fully loaded, because it is the anniversary celebration. Just turned 30k miles this month; looks brand new and every time i take it for oil change at dealer; they try to buy it back! There were only about 2000 made that year.
I just bought a brand new 2020 R/T Challenger Octane Red with Blacktop pkg a couple of months ago. $32k. It's been great! Having a lot of fun with it and I gott a great price for it in my opinion.
Exactly! Looks good, fun, practical, sporty, fast, dodge is aggressive with discounts, zero problems on mine to date, and great mpg on the highway for those family vacations. Cheers.
Great video man! Could have walked away with a 2018 charger scat pack with 2800 miles... I chose a brand new 18 R/T.. do I regret it? actual I’m neutral on it. Why I say that it because yes in my opinion (coming from a 3+ year R/T owner) the scat pack is THEEE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK, I mean come on you get the look, the power, the brakes, the suspension, etc.. and the R/T just simply does not have all that. Both cars have there pros and cons. I LOVE my R/T. And I’ll never bag on anyone with one when I get my hellcat. Because they are not by any means a slow car. There fast cars, and they are really fun to own. And they can take 8lbs Of boost easily so. It all depends on the driver. Me for example I’m happy with what I have. The 5.7 HEMI is the face of the mopar franchise and anyone with a mopar should not forget that. IMO
Very true.. that RT is a staple car for Dodge ..
I have a hellcat an i also have a rt as my daily i love that thing it’s def nice power for every day use
Love the rt for daily street driving , a little exhaust mod and boom sounds mean 👌🏻
It most certainly does
Cuanto cuenta hacerle un exhaust?
great vid thx!! I have 2009 charger 5.7 with a 93 octane tune and MDS off. Gas mileage sucks but price point is well worth the fun factor after Mods. Love it !!
Got a 2016 RT 8 months ago. I drive it daily and man do I love it.
Much love for the R/T owners my guy. Daily drive my 2018 Chally, and it’s the most fun day to day I’ve ever had. Wayyy better to enjoy than my 2012 5.0 I used to own. But that’s my opinion. Yeah I could’ve opted out and got a Scat Pack, but for the price I got my R/T for...22,450 for a 2018??? No, nothing was wrong with it just 40,000 miles on it (and hair everywhere smh). Drives like a gem!
Trevon Hall .. sounds like a solid deal.. keep rocking it 🤜🔥🔥
Second video I came across and decided to subscribe. Awesome attitude and content.
There are lots of fun cars to drive, and I drive my 2019 Stinger GTS which is also fun to drive. Not much weight but plenty of horse power to get you around town in a hurry. I think it beats an RT's maneuverability in traffic where acceleration, lane change and stopping is most important. At 73 I enjoy the game of catch me if you can.
Just bought one Saturday for the wife, think it's going to be the best choice by far from the vehicles I was looking at. Nickel with black racing stripes RT.....one damn nice looking car
Love driving my 2017 charger rt, I have two young boys that fit in comfortably and so much fun driving it to work daily
I'm 17 and I bought a Red 2014 Charger RT AWD. Best decision ever. I put a cat back exhaust on it and it rumbles like a scat pack. During the winter I put on snow tires and this car will NOT get stuck. I drove it in a blizzard with 7 inches of snow and it didn't get stuck at all. In fact, I tried to get it stuck but it would refuse to. Having a v8 awd muscle car is the coolest thing ever
Danny Spangberg .. I’m sure that AWD is serving you well 👍
Love them . Gets me & the wife back and fourth to work & enough to have fun . I’ve heard these respond well to mods
I drive a 17 Charger RT and i love it. When buying new, the pricing gap between a RT and a Scat is somewhat small (as long as both cars are comparably equipped). Insurance costs seem to be quite different between them, but mpg should be close. When buying used, theres a pretty big gap in price. Scats hold their value well while RTs dont. I bought my RT for around $23k with 33k miles. Used Scats were going for $35k! For a daily, the RT is perfect.
I’ve found a 2019 rt with 36k miles on it - 29000 do you think it’s a steal or it’s been beaten on at this point ?
One of the best videos describing the r/t, best detailed oriented video 👍🏼
I drive a 2013 Chrysler 300 c awd with the 5.7 and man it’s so fun from burnouts to sliding around corners I been telling people the 5.7 is more than enough it’s fun
Nice review, man. I got a Challenger R/T as my daily based, in part, on this review a couple months ago. Good journalism.
Thank you Jeff
Love my Rt! Thanks for the vid!
I'm getting 20-2mpg consistently driving in the city. Mine is a 2015 AWD police package with steel wheels in indigo blue colour. It's perfect for Winter in Toronto when everyone forgets how to drive in snow.
Keep it up my man. This is my favorite car channel.
Thank you Jenel.. much appreciated 👍
I bought the Challenger R/T in 2011. I saved for that car for several years. The track isn’t my thing, so it has all the power I need, and it’s fun as hell to drive.
Stay safe mr and mrs x... hope all is well. Love the R/T very much
Thank you Robbie .. you too 👍
Thank you for doing this video! I’ve been looking at the ScatPack’s for quiet a while but the ownership cost and insurance cost has prevented me from owning one. I’ve been looking at the RT’s a lot lately seems like a good bang for your buck!
The RT is a solid package 👍
Took about seven years but my co workers finally cracked me on the HEMI. I liked the modern design of the 2015+ Charger. Had one six years ago as a rental. Base rental fleet SXT V6 and nothing to argue about high 20’s/low 30’s for highway MPG. Even as a base rental, hood design, smooth ride, modern technology and safety. Had a lead on two different 2022 SXT AWD Blacktop with NAV/Travel. Was a good dealer trade possibility but…both SOLD….moved to different zip code range and found a sleeper April Build Daytona Indigo/black. Will be picking up next Tuesday and the position ferry back to North TX will be the “test drive”
I love my RT, it may not be the fastest car out there but I can definitely keep up with the pack.
Man I love my 2014 Charger R/T plus in Header Orange and she's nearing 80k and still running strong.
I own a 2015 r/t & I love it. Got an intake for more power & also have straight pipe sounds super aggressive tbh alot of ppl think I have a hellcat tbh lol just kuz of how loud it sounds. I've gotten pulled over for my exhaust being too loud lol it's super fun. I destroy v6s all day xD
I’m 19 and looking for something that’s fun and practical. I have a 2009 Honda CR-V as my daily...love the gas mileage but Jesus, the four cylinder gets old after awhile. In a few years I’m willing to get a 2019 R/T. Thanks for the video! By the time I’ve saved a little bit of dough, this will be my new daily!
20 charger r/t is my daily now, so far so good~
New subscriber, love the videos
Unless I haven't found it, could be a fun video and discussion to have if you talked about your thoughts on what Dodge is gonna do for their next gen Charger/Challenger.
Like your opinion and wishes about if they're moving to inline turbo engines or keeping the V8 alive, looks, trim levels, etc.
TheJfather1 .. welcome to the channel my friend. Great suggestion.. I actually did a live where we talked about the next big thing from Dodge.. but it’s been a while 👍
Definitely will pick this over a v6 Charger
my 2010 Charger R/T is def best for daily drive. I wanted 6.1 challenger srt8 so bad but can't go wrong with charger rt for daily drive. absolutely best decision!
I’m with ya buddy .. seems like a good choice
Why do you or anyone else not mention the fuel savings that goes from an 8 cylinder to a six cylinder when it reaches a certain speed.? I have an RT Plus 2020 and i go from 14mpg to 26mpg on highway with cruise control at 70mph. I love my Charger.
Still loving my 21 Rt , just got the hellcat rims in chrome on it on 275 tires
It is the best daily driver. I own a 2015 Charger R/T about to hit 110000 miles. I live in San Diego, CA and commute to work everyday and I just broke my own record for mpg which is 29.7 mpg on the freeway. I never had any engine issues but my only problems I have are my headlights don't work. My sunroof doesn't slide back. And just recent my AC and heater crapped out. If you really take good care of your Charger with keeping your maintenance up and driving it to the ground doing burnouts, donuts, hard pulls like a lot of these TH-camrs are doing you will add more life to your car. I'm planning on getting another RT hopefully just because of the Scatpack and Hellcat body style.
I bought my first charger r/t in 2006, traded it in late 18 for a Daytona 5.7. Love the engine, strong, fast enough to get me in trouble......
Thank you for posting the Charger RT, edition i like the Scat package & the power, i am some what torn between the both I guess ill have to test drive the RT you have some good points
The R/T would be a lot more fun with better gears and reduced torque management. The tuning I understand but not including 3.92's as part of this package is a huge oversight in my opinion.
Definitely would liven up the car a bit making those changes ..
Great video been looking into getting one and thinking r/t probably the way to go.....practicality
