Scotty , whenever I call every car dealership or mechanic why won't they do the lower intake gasket job? Are they choosing to play stupid or is this a marketing strategy to sell new junk
The crazy part is: Some of those SRT's have 800hp. lol.. I don't like dodge, but you have to admit respect for what they've done with the hemi in the last decade.
The tranny was usually the issue. My m had an 89 newyorker that needed the top end of the motor rebuilt at about 100k, the the tranny went around 120k. And it was maintained, she loved it, I've known other people with tranny problems, I had a 98 RM sport , shortbed white, factory lift..I loved it. It had a rebuilt tranny when I got it at 140k , I got it from my dads friend , I had a friend who owned a tranny shop and he used to say the same thing... Dodges came in the most, dodge has had good style for a long time..and they make a good v8..but its the other problems that are the reason I wouldn't buy one. In the early 90s my uncle worked for Chrysler ,he was in a board meeting and the CEO at the time said we fae about numbers more than quality.
@@bernie472 96k is nothing... Although when my mom had her 89 new yorker, it was about ready to have the heads rebuilt by that milage, even though it was maintained well, at about 120k the tranny had to be rebuilt
I love Mopar and have two Jeeps and a 300 and I have owned 3 older jeeps as well and I love them but the wiring and computers are horrible and won't buy one again unless they really step up and fix those problems but no matter what Mopar V8s are so fun to drive
I’ve always been a dodge guy and frankly I’m skeptical of their plans to ditch their #1 seller the Hemi especially since most of us dodge guys swear against electric vehicles like they’re talking about trying to push lol hey if they do that I don’t see too bright of a future for them and the old ones are definitely gonna go up in value that’s for sure
I don't think it was ever up to Dodge to begin with, too much pressure from the EPA tricking down through FCA. They probably just got told to kill the V8s and try to convince their customers to go electric. But I agree it's going to be rough for them.
I bought my Ram before I discovered Scotty but I’m loving it. Knowing that the clock is ticking even faster in Ca, I went out and bought a single cab Ram 1500 with the 5.7 a couple of years ago before they become extinct. Glad I did. I don’t see very many on CA lots these days. I know it’s still new, but so far, I’m loving it. Just went on a 2500 mile road trip recently and it’s not only powerful, it’s comfy as hell too. I take care of my vehicles so I hope she lasts! Wish me luck!
2018 Durango r/t here with 100k on it. Tow with it every summer, a 5k pound trailer, raced it dozens of times at the track as well. Still runs perfect!
You couldn't have owned it long. Older dodge sucks, for the most part. I had 3 older, high milage dodges, that pli think had the normal problems fixed before I got.them, one was my 99 Durango SLT I bought w 252k , because I liked it a lot, ,it was 400 bucks, and it shifted like it was new. Had the 5.7
Speaking of towing... the police in my City have a bunch of Durangos in their fleet and I'm constantly seeing them being towed on flatbeds (and they are nearly new).
@@thesultan4030I have a 17 RT, they don’t like the excessive idling that usually happens with police work. i’m at 90k and only had to change coolant hoses. I run AMSOIL for all fluids as well.
@@volvo09 you know I’m into Mopar which is part Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and Ram. I understand your not a Chrysler dude since you like Volvo’s since you like Swedish cars.
Well I must be crazy because I bought the Hellcat Durango. I've had it for a little over a year and had zero mechanical issues. It runs like a bat out of Hell and the power just never quits. I've only had it to 145 because places to take it to top end are hard to find but it has been solid as a rock at all speeds. I love it!
That’s what I wanted to get very very nice vehicles but I don’t have the gas money jus my 5.7 Hemi full tank only last me 3 days. If gas was cheaper I would prolly get one too. Hope you enjoy it bro
@@johnv6806 The only "governor" on the Durango is the natural one of horsepower vs. weight and aerodynamics. The SRT has 475 HP and the Hellcat has 710 HP. Dodge claims that the top end for the Hellcat is 180 MPH and I have no reason to doubt that because their stated acceleration figures are spot on. My Hellcat has done 0-60 in 3.6 seconds and the quarter mile in 11.8 seconds at 115 MPH.
@@tfunknationtown I'm not sure I know what you mean by "bouncy" but if you're talking about the suspension being stiff, it is designed to be that way because the SRT and Hellcat versions are supposed to be more of a performance vehicle and a stiffer suspension gives better handling. It won't change.
It is funny, because I paid $13,000 with tax and fees for a 2009 Charger R/T with 12,000 miles on it back in December 2017. I only have 70k miles on it now and KBB still saying it's still holding close to what I paid for it. Only thing I've really had to replace was the water pump and the brake master cylinder, which I fixed myself. Still going strong, although I think I need new front struts. The engine is heavy as hell.
Same, but I have a 2012 Honda Odyssey I bought in early 2019. It’s not deprecated at all (well, I’ve not checked prices in 30-60 days) and at one point it was worth a little more than I paid for it.
Check your motor mounts. My 2006 Hemi Charger had a bad ride & I knew my mounts were shot, but also thought the struts were going bad (currently 165k miles). After changing the mounts, it rides much better now. The drivers side mount was in 2 pieces and the passenger side was barely holding on.
@@The_Gallowglass they're great motors, I'm a biased mopar guy though lol bought the wife a 14 Ram and that thing just goes. I daily drove a 5.2 2nd gen ram for what felt like a small eternity and that truck had such a lasting effect on me in a good way.
In 1978 my first employer out of College was A computer Cobol programmer at Chrysler Dodge Main in Hamtramck Michigan. A few years later the plant was demolished.
My 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee has the 5.7 with the German made 8 speed transmission. My 2014 Charger RT has the 5 speed German made transmission also. Sounds like it is the only component of the cars I can count on. Both are fun to drive. Gas mileage with the 5.7 is not too bad. 18 mpg mixed and 22 mpg highway with the Jeep.
My friend bought a 2017(?) Durango with the 5.7 Hemi for around $17k and is doing a few modifications to it, it is basically a budget version of this, maybe not quite as fast, but 1/3 the price. He already knows he'll probably have to replace the transmission and transaxle since he loves to drive like a maniac. He also loves Dodges and knows he may not be able to keep them forever. Meanwhile I basically baby my 2011 Camry and '94 Ranger. We have different priorities and different budgets, lol...
I feel the need to chime in, I just junked a 2018 Durango RT with 90k miles. The vehicle was horrible, dealer couldn’t fix it. We bought this vehicle new and the issues started within 2k miles.
I’ve owned 6 Chrysler Minivans since 1989 and have not had the problems some people complain about. And being that there’s so many on the road, anytime I needed a repair that are cheap to get back on the road.
I've had the problems......my family has had the problems....they were crap. Some people get lucky. I've had high milage dodges that lasted though, I think they already had their normal issues fixed
As a non-farmer, it took me a couple seconds to figure out that PTO must stand for Power Take Off and I probably might not have figured it out without the farming clue.
@@cme98 Paid time off. Lot of companies went to an aggregate PTO arrangement in lieu of preset holiday time off. Employees get x number of hrs/days to use however they see fit..
I had a rental of one and man it drove so nice! Sharp quick steering, didn’t feel heavy on the turns at all, nice growl, badass suv look. It pains me it’s a dodge. Wish Dodge was the most reliable brand in the American market, shame it’s not, if it was, I would consider it for sure!
Our baby hauler is a 15 cx5 "black and chrome" (w. the roof rails.) Trust me when I say we look VERY badass not breaking down on the road or burning oil or having the engine explode. Also we only go to the gas station twice a month max. I feel downright guilty that we're not being pulled over constantly with how badass we're living.
They cant really pull the plug. The democrats will force them to go electric regardless. They are already being fined up the wazoo for the mpg's not being high enough.
Hey Scotty... I remember a while back you said to buy only Toyota and Lexus, or Honda and Acura. So yesterday I bought a used 2011 Corolla in excellent shape. Been a long time since I owned a Toyota. Glad I listened to you. Thanks for the great advice.
Sure you are Scotty🤣 Love the 392. I purchased a service contract though Mopar when I got my 2016 Challenger. I'm hoping to get just over 100k out of mine so I thought that might be a great way not to let the car drain my savings account. 😊
We have a 2014 Durango Citadel with the hemi V-8. It now has 115,000 miles. Just replaced the water pump - no other engine related issues. It has been a great family car, tows the boat, groceries and dogs. We are still happy with it. I replaced the rear brake pads last weekend and those were well designed for an easy change. These are very nice vehicles.
You should’ve showed the computer glitch. It’s far more common than you know. Both my 2018 jeep srt & trackhawk had the same issue. Computer would freeze on a blue screen or just turn on and off multiple times. Really annoying stuff. Best part was mopar telling me there’s nothing wrong with it every time I brought it in. 😊
Just did rear shocks (just the shocks). Dealer quoted me $3,600. Did it at a local shop for $1,800. Bought the OEM version of the shocks. Regualr shocks ($750] didn't work -- thru off many errors codes. The OEM version didn't have the error problems. Prices are shocks & labor.
So, fun fact with the cylinder deactivation in the Chrysler. They evenly activate to prevent uneven wear.. unlike the cadillac engines in the 80s 😔. Still more to go wrong with the touchy electronics of these things 😬
Scotty i seen a clip or 2 of your videos as memes in other peoples videos. This is my first time watching a review by you and I love it! Keep going bud. Your perspective is appreciated ❤😊
Scott, ALL late model Durangos have the ZF 8-speed transmission, though with slight variations between the ones used with the V6 PentaStar and those glued behind Dodge's Hemis. ALL of these ZF transmissions are American-made in Kokomo, Indiana by Chrysler under license.
I just learned about cylinder deactivation on our 2013 Honda Odyssey... horrible stuff. I'd love to hear your take on some of the things folks are doing to keep those particular systems from activating.
Get a vcm eliminator , I just added it to my 2012 honda pilot. It disables that system. Just look up vcm eliminator for your model and year, super easy to install
@@bgestradan88 I've already got an S-VCM. It's working great so far as I can tell. Haven't seen the ECO light since it was installed. I was just hoping Scotty might make a video throwing his 2 cents in one day. Thanks for the good will though!
@@irritadad1848 I got the s-vcm for my 2010 accord too. Been about 2 years and everything's still going good. I hated eco mode. Ruined my spark plugs, and I have a feeling it's why my cat went bad too. Runs much better now!
@@ifensler Check! I used some of the savings of doing the valve cover gasket/tube seals/spark plug/coil replacement myself (rather than the dealership) to get mine. Hopefully there's no more damage waiting to surprise me. Best of luck!
Much easier if you buy the parts and do it yourself. Ive had several repairs which would have cost thouands each but I sorted them out with a few hundred bucks in parts and elbow grease.
wow scotty glad to see that durango srt put a smile on your face and you liked it, i have a 2018 durango R/T and i love it ! 5.7 hemi good enough for me ! thanks for all your awesome videos scotty.
It's so ironic. A lot of my decision to buy a 2021 Tundra was based on information I got from you, Scotty. So when my wife starts talking about trading in her 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroads I finally convince her to test drive a Highlander. It just did not fit. She is a long legged 6 footer. From there we tried a Honda Passport, Kia Telluride, Honda Pilot, and a Dodge Durango GT Plus with the V 6 engine. She decided to get the Dodge and I don't know why expected anything different. That make 5 Chrysler products
How can someone pass up Honda, toytota known for reliability., for a dodge that are known for problems.... Maybe you've been lucky...but if you research...most people aren't.
A Long way from grampa's old 62 Dodge Dart wSlant6 & three on the tree. He could chirp 1&2 speeds getting on the freeway uphill on ramp." Hold on Kid"💨! ....💨!!
Scotty, if you run any automatic SRT vehicle in SPORT or TRACK mode, it turns OFF the cylinder deacrivation. I have a 2024 Dodge Durango SRT 392 AWD that I run in SPORT 98% of the time. It's not that much stiffer than AUTO mode, which DOES run cylinder deactivation, and it handles better overall. A good compromise for daiky street operations.
And the beauty of that car made by a real company is not only the they're the only ones that offer a V6 and a base model then a hemi then a 392 and then a hellcat version, no one else offers anything like it in the segment. And it's doubly perfect because sometimes a man with a family can't really afford to have his dream hot rod with a big hemi engine so he can combine that with his wife's grocery getter and still win drag races at the stoplights with the air conditioning blowing and the tunes blaring. People stopped to look at a 392 Durango like they never will any other average SUV. Especially not an explorer with an Eco puss
The new Hornet is intriguing to me, since I already have a fullsize SUV. Poor man's Alfa Romeo Stelvio: great handling, stout motor, and enough space for your kids to flail their arms in terror while you take the corners at 50mph
What else have dodge used a 2.0L 4 cylinder in? How do you know its a good motor? And no one knows anything about their hybrid one because they've never done one before.
The stelvio you're comparing it to is a 50-60k dollar car so don't expect that. The tonale is the only thing I've heard it compared to which is 40k. The hornet is lower 30k.
Underrated SUVs? Saturn SUV V6 2004-07 The V6 version is powered by a Honda V6 257hp & 248tq and Honda transmission 0-60 in the low 6 second range Super sleeper and usually sold on Craigslist as a "GM -SATURN" car. Most owners don't know it's actually a HONDA engine and transmission If you get one change the transmission fluid with Honda fluid. Mine is still running strong. I surprise a ton of ricers out there in it.
Long-term if you don’t have much money, I would recommend a 4runner. 300k miles, and she’ll keep running. Plus: it’s not a unibody, it’s an actual truck.
Why on Earth do the Durango, Tahoe and Expedition cost $20k more than their truck brothers? I never understood why full size SUV's started having ridiculous MSRP's, some time after 2012.
If he paid $63K for that thing, he stole it. They are currently selling for between $73,000-$85,000! I just bought a new Charger Scat Pack and boy, did I get a haircut. The dealer sold it to me right off the truck and didn't even have to pay any slotting fees--and I didn't get even any of that action. It looks like he didn't get the Technology package with that Durango. I was always against bells and whistles--more to break. However, that Tech package has automatic hi-beam dimming. You never have to touch the hi-beam switch while driving at night--one of the best features for me.
@@miisfiitz310 You got a great vehicle. If you live in snow country, you can drive that thing year round. They are going away, so you can't put a price on them.
I still have my ‘98 Durango SLT, OE engine/transmission, still kicking at 352 K miles. The newer cars , although more efficient, are more fragile with the electronics.
Really loving all these videos Scotty! I own a Durango Express 2011 and although its a beast and excellent for towing a trailer, its not without its challenges. Recently had to get transmission rebuilt at 150k along with lots of part swaps over the past few years. Even after the rebuild the transmission still has the notorious slip clunk when downshifting occasionally into 1st from 2nd. Chrysler transmission is indeed crap! Was wondering if there was anything i could do or part to swap to correct this. Cost me close to $4k and now im thinking i should of had my transmission guy just replace as oppose to rebuild. They have a 2 year warantee on it so im thinking about bringing back in. I know 3rd gen durangos have a plethora of known problems associated, would love to see a video on your channel. Its a shame because even the base models with the v6 flex engine are solid other than the specific issues these trucks are prone to. I dumped too much money and time into this vehicle already, plan on keeping mine for a while and then eventually looking at a subaru or possibly a honda pilot. Thanks for all the honest and hilarious content.. you really are the best!
I like Scotty's videos, but he is harsh on Dodge for the most part. I have the most uncool Dodge, a 2015 Caravan, which I bought new in 2015. I do all the routine maintenance and oil changes. I've driven it across country and back, up and down the east coast multiple time from NC to Boston and back. got 170,000 miles now. No issues yet. Versatile, can carry 7 people, seats fold down and I can haul tons of stuff. I get 25 mpg on highway and about 18 to 20 mpg in local driving. Scotty if you read this, you might be thinking I'm just lucky, but I'd bet many Dodge owners just don't stay up on their schedules maintenance. Also, I admit I don't routinely floor the gas, I drive it moderately intentionally to take it easy on the transmission. Very happy with my nerd mobile.

I only have 70k miles on it now and KBB still saying it's still holding close to what I paid for it. Only thing I've really had to replace was the water pump and the brake master cylinder, which I fixed myself. Still going strong, although I think I need new front struts. The engine is heavy as hell.
Same, but I have a 2012 Honda Odyssey I bought in early 2019. It’s not deprecated at all (well, I’ve not checked prices in 30-60 days) and at one point it was worth a little more than I paid for it.
Them 5.7s are heavy. Fully dressed I think they come in around ~550lbs give or take.
@@Admiral_Potato41 It is a good engine though. Unmodified she'll make the Kessel Run in 14 seconds.
Check your motor mounts. My 2006 Hemi Charger had a bad ride & I knew my mounts were shot, but also thought the struts were going bad (currently 165k miles). After changing the mounts, it rides much better now. The drivers side mount was in 2 pieces and the passenger side was barely holding on.
@@The_Gallowglass they're great motors, I'm a biased mopar guy though lol bought the wife a 14 Ram and that thing just goes. I daily drove a 5.2 2nd gen ram for what felt like a small eternity and that truck had such a lasting effect on me in a good way.
In 1978 my first employer out of College was A computer Cobol programmer at Chrysler Dodge Main in Hamtramck Michigan. A few years later the plant was demolished.
You can tell he had fun driving that srt. Good stuff scotty
This man yells with is hands. Does scotty not drive anymore? Notice hes always being driven around…..
@@lawnside82 Maybe tge owners of the vehicles would rather drive the car while he films....
My 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee has the 5.7 with the German made 8 speed transmission. My 2014 Charger RT has the 5 speed German made transmission also. Sounds like it is the only component of the cars I can count on. Both are fun to drive. Gas mileage with the 5.7 is not too bad. 18 mpg mixed and 22 mpg highway with the Jeep.
I've been looking to get a 2019~2021 grand cherokee with the hemi and was curious on the gas mileage. Nice to see it's really not so bad.
Nice
I agree dodges are quite good
My friend bought a 2017(?) Durango with the 5.7 Hemi for around $17k and is doing a few modifications to it, it is basically a budget version of this, maybe not quite as fast, but 1/3 the price. He already knows he'll probably have to replace the transmission and transaxle since he loves to drive like a maniac. He also loves Dodges and knows he may not be able to keep them forever. Meanwhile I basically baby my 2011 Camry and '94 Ranger. We have different priorities and different budgets, lol...
How many miles?
Listen to that Bearcat DODGE ENGINE!!!!
MOPAR ALL THE WAY!!!
I feel the need to chime in, I just junked a 2018 Durango RT with 90k miles. The vehicle was horrible, dealer couldn’t fix it. We bought this vehicle new and the issues started within 2k miles.
I’ve owned 6 Chrysler Minivans since 1989 and have not had the problems some people complain about. And being that there’s so many on the road, anytime I needed a repair that are cheap to get back on the road.
I've had the problems......my family has had the problems....they were crap. Some people get lucky. I've had high milage dodges that lasted though, I think they already had their normal issues fixed
@@richsweeney1115 I only had 4 out of 6 Chrysler Minivans went over 250,000 mile before I moved them on 2 were totaled do to Deer Hits.
I agree.... Really good choice... I have a 07 Srt with 180k on it.... It still purrs
What's the world coming too? Scotty identifies now as a Dodge Man
Not really
They're fun cars when you have a 392. Thats what he said.
"To" not too.
@@k.c.marshall921Sorrey Im tryin to becum a gooder riter
He's being nice to his neighbor.
Scotty caught the Hemi bug 🐛... 😂🤷
Not many people would call USB outlets "PTOs" You are officially accepted into the farming community Scotty.
Whats a PTO? I only heard the term used by HP who combined their sick pay with vacation pay & called it PTO personal time off
@@cme98 Power Take-Off, It's generally a direct connection through a shaft on the engine/transmission that you connect machinery to.
As a non-farmer, it took me a couple seconds to figure out that PTO must stand for Power Take Off and I probably might not have figured it out without the farming clue.
@@cme98 Paid time off. Lot of companies went to an aggregate PTO arrangement in lieu of preset holiday time off. Employees get x number of hrs/days to use however they see fit..
Well ford has a po name. Power outlet.
I had a rental of one and man it drove so nice! Sharp quick steering, didn’t feel heavy on the turns at all, nice growl, badass suv look. It pains me it’s a dodge. Wish Dodge was the most reliable brand in the American market, shame it’s not, if it was, I would consider it for sure!
An SRT? As a RENTAL? Really?
Our baby hauler is a 15 cx5 "black and chrome" (w. the roof rails.) Trust me when I say we look VERY badass not breaking down on the road or burning oil or having the engine explode. Also we only go to the gas station twice a month max.
I feel downright guilty that we're not being pulled over constantly with how badass we're living.
@KhanintheUhnahkian it probably was an RT
@@DE-qk7fjcringe
luv the looks & especially the sound of the powerhouse Dodges.. Hope Dodge pulls the plug on going all electric..
They cant really pull the plug. The democrats will force them to go electric regardless. They are already being fined up the wazoo for the mpg's not being high enough.
I don't like dodge but this 👌🏻 I love
Hey Scotty... I remember a while back you said to buy only Toyota and Lexus, or Honda and Acura. So yesterday I bought a used 2011 Corolla in excellent shape. Been a long time since I owned a Toyota. Glad I listened to you. Thanks for the great advice.
Good purchase bro
Have fun with your boring but reliable Corolla!
@@RRLV434 still better than owning a Ford?
just got a 2001 corolla… boring car but always starts up
@@kirkfavre3017 Definitely wayyyyyyy better than any EcoBoost engine Ford puts out.
Sure you are Scotty🤣
Love the 392.
I purchased a service contract though Mopar when I got my 2016 Challenger. I'm hoping to get just over 100k out of mine so I thought that might be a great way not to let the car drain my savings account. 😊
We have a 2014 Durango Citadel with the hemi V-8. It now has 115,000 miles. Just replaced the water pump - no other engine related issues. It has been a great family car, tows the boat, groceries and dogs. We are still happy with it. I replaced the rear brake pads last weekend and those were well designed for an easy change. These are very nice vehicles.
Do these exhaust sound good as well?
You should’ve showed the computer glitch. It’s far more common than you know. Both my 2018 jeep srt & trackhawk had the same issue. Computer would freeze on a blue screen or just turn on and off multiple times. Really annoying stuff. Best part was mopar telling me there’s nothing wrong with it every time I brought it in. 😊
I’ve had two never had any problems they run great. More reliable than Tahoe’s my family has owned.
Just did rear shocks (just the shocks). Dealer quoted me $3,600. Did it at a local shop for $1,800. Bought the OEM version of the shocks. Regualr shocks ($750] didn't work -- thru off many errors codes. The OEM version didn't have the error problems. Prices are shocks & labor.
So, fun fact with the cylinder deactivation in the Chrysler. They evenly activate to prevent uneven wear.. unlike the cadillac engines in the 80s 😔. Still more to go wrong with the touchy electronics of these things 😬
Scotty a Dodge man now? The entire car industry, my 94 Celica and I are shocked!
Scotty i seen a clip or 2 of your videos as memes in other peoples videos. This is my first time watching a review by you and I love it! Keep going bud. Your perspective is appreciated ❤😊
Scotty must be really sick because he’s not talking bad about a dodge ! 🤣🤣 get well soon brother !!
I like living with cars that are paid for.
Scott, ALL late model Durangos have the ZF 8-speed transmission, though with slight variations between the ones used with the V6 PentaStar and those glued behind Dodge's Hemis. ALL of these ZF transmissions are American-made in Kokomo, Indiana by Chrysler under license.
Thank you.
Put the video on 0.5 playback speed. It's like Scotty had too much moonshine!
I just learned about cylinder deactivation on our 2013 Honda Odyssey... horrible stuff. I'd love to hear your take on some of the things folks are doing to keep those particular systems from activating.
Get a vcm eliminator , I just added it to my 2012 honda pilot. It disables that system. Just look up vcm eliminator for your model and year, super easy to install
@@bgestradan88 I've already got an S-VCM. It's working great so far as I can tell. Haven't seen the ECO light since it was installed. I was just hoping Scotty might make a video throwing his 2 cents in one day. Thanks for the good will though!
@@irritadad1848 I got the s-vcm for my 2010 accord too. Been about 2 years and everything's still going good. I hated eco mode. Ruined my spark plugs, and I have a feeling it's why my cat went bad too. Runs much better now!
@@ifensler Check! I used some of the savings of doing the valve cover gasket/tube seals/spark plug/coil replacement myself (rather than the dealership) to get mine. Hopefully there's no more damage waiting to surprise me. Best of luck!
Sport mode
I got a Citadel Durango as a loaner.
My gosh my it was like driving a mattress. What a car. But wouldn’t want to pay the repair bills.
Much easier if you buy the parts and do it yourself. Ive had several repairs which would have cost thouands each but I sorted them out with a few hundred bucks in parts and elbow grease.
I like the Dodge Durango, mighty good looking SUV.
Never thought I’d hear you talk positively about Chrysler :)❤❤❤❤
wow scotty glad to see that durango srt put a smile on your face and you liked it, i have a 2018 durango R/T and i love it ! 5.7 hemi good enough for me ! thanks for all your awesome videos scotty.
It's so ironic. A lot of my decision to buy a 2021 Tundra was based on information I got from you, Scotty. So when my wife starts talking about trading in her 2014 Dodge Journey Crossroads I finally convince her to test drive a Highlander. It just did not fit. She is a long legged 6 footer. From there we tried a Honda Passport, Kia Telluride, Honda Pilot, and a Dodge Durango GT Plus with the V 6 engine. She decided to get the Dodge and I don't know why expected anything different. That make 5 Chrysler products
The Chrysler products have all been a good fit for us. Now with your some what positive comments on the Durango I'm more optimistic about this choice.
How can someone pass up Honda, toytota known for reliability., for a dodge that are known for problems.... Maybe you've been lucky...but if you research...most people aren't.
I love my 2004 ram 2500 I bought and it dose just about everything I need it to do
I'd put a giant bumper on it and knock shopping carts around.
A Long way from grampa's old 62 Dodge Dart wSlant6 & three on the tree. He could chirp 1&2 speeds getting on the freeway uphill on ramp." Hold on Kid"💨! ....💨!!

yea you may say you don’t like mopar products but 04 ram with nearly 300,000 miles still is kicking
Scotty loves it. How can't he? It's a 475HP V8 AWD...w/Austrian ZF 8speed.
I got a 17 Durango r/t just two weeks ago and I’m in love
Wow nice I love your vids
Glad ur still around Scotty
Ive always loved the durango.
I wanted a suburban, but ehh for a daily the durango is just hard to beat. Looks good aggressive, still has class
Ah you're looking at Durangos too huh? I don't even need an SUV. I just want ir because it looks cool.
Scotty showing love to the mopars legend !!!
This car is an American dream
Scotty, if you run any automatic SRT vehicle in SPORT or TRACK mode, it turns OFF the cylinder deacrivation. I have a 2024 Dodge Durango SRT 392 AWD that I run in SPORT 98% of the time. It's not that much stiffer than AUTO mode, which DOES run cylinder deactivation, and it handles better overall. A good compromise for daiky street operations.
I got a 22 rt befpre the summer and love it. Seen tbis pop up and i was scared shitless, preying i didn't male a bad purchase lol
And the beauty of that car made by a real company is not only the they're the only ones that offer a V6 and a base model then a hemi then a 392 and then a hellcat version, no one else offers anything like it in the segment. And it's doubly perfect because sometimes a man with a family can't really afford to have his dream hot rod with a big hemi engine so he can combine that with his wife's grocery getter and still win drag races at the stoplights with the air conditioning blowing and the tunes blaring. People stopped to look at a 392 Durango like they never will any other average SUV. Especially not an explorer with an Eco puss
Amen to that brother
The ecoboost is no joke dont get me wrong love the 392 but an intake and off the shelf tune on an ecoboost and they are quick as hell
@@shad3128 not worth the bad sound or the poor reliability especially if you start boosting
@@shad3128 Yeah except these EcoBoost engines aren't known for reliability at all mate.
@@CJColvin my wife and 3 other ppl I know have them, w no issues..people beat on them , and complain when they break them BC the push them.too hard...
“Nice comfort creatures for the back!” Uh what was that again, Scotty? 🤣🤣🤣
Nice "comfort creatures" too! 🤣🤣🤣 2:04. Good review tho! Sounds great at least.
Change to KNL air filter and get more mpg and punch.
I like dodge as well!!
Thanks scotty
I love my Durango 2018 SRT Arctic White Burgundy Leathers ❤️
The new Hornet is intriguing to me, since I already have a fullsize SUV. Poor man's Alfa Romeo Stelvio: great handling, stout motor, and enough space for your kids to flail their arms in terror while you take the corners at 50mph
It will be a big seller
I have an Alfa and they’re amazing cars
I just got a bronco sport and I dont see it being any better than that and probably wouldn't have got it over the bronco.
What else have dodge used a 2.0L 4 cylinder in? How do you know its a good motor? And no one knows anything about their hybrid one because they've never done one before.
The stelvio you're comparing it to is a 50-60k dollar car so don't expect that. The tonale is the only thing I've heard it compared to which is 40k. The hornet is lower 30k.
Do y'all recommend a 2022 R/T? Only 40k miles
I have own three D-150 and before I put 125000 on them. I ended up having the transmission rebuild. You can keep the Dodge brand.
My brother bought one new back then and it had burned valves and an ignition switch problem when brand new.
The Durango never fails man… Dodge Durango are the best.. they can move …
Underrated SUVs?
Saturn SUV V6 2004-07
The V6 version is powered by a Honda V6 257hp & 248tq and Honda transmission
0-60 in the low 6 second range
Super sleeper and usually sold on Craigslist as a "GM -SATURN" car. Most owners don't know it's actually a HONDA engine and transmission
If you get one change the transmission fluid with Honda fluid.
Mine is still running strong. I surprise a ton of ricers out there in it.
Looks almost like mine. I got the 5.7 hemi for towing and better fuel mileage the v6 in a truck that heavy didn't make any sense to me.
Scotty's the man. Thank you very much!
This is the only guy I trust with car reviews
Sounds like a definite switch-a-roo for Scotty. I thought he hated ALL Chrysler vehicles. But I understand there are qualifications.
Long-term if you don’t have much money, I would recommend a 4runner. 300k miles, and she’ll keep running. Plus: it’s not a unibody, it’s an actual truck.
Thanks Scotty.
We love our 2016 Citadel. We have the Pentastar V6, which has plenty of power for my wife, but boy would I love a HEMI in it.
Why on Earth do the Durango, Tahoe and Expedition cost $20k more than their truck brothers? I never understood why full size SUV's started having ridiculous MSRP's, some time after 2012.
Pinky ring on point!!!!
I'm happy to see Scotty having fun 😁 in a Dodge Durango, Detroit 💪.
Dodge has improved a lot in quality...
Hey Scotty hemi power I’m loving it
Welcome to the Brotherhood, Scotty!
Dodge means to avoid; stay away from. I've been a Dodge man all my life. Jesus was also a Dodge man. He walked everywhere.....
lol
If he paid $63K for that thing, he stole it. They are currently selling for between $73,000-$85,000! I just bought a new Charger Scat Pack and boy, did I get a haircut. The dealer sold it to me right off the truck and didn't even have to pay any slotting fees--and I didn't get even any of that action. It looks like he didn't get the Technology package with that Durango. I was always against bells and whistles--more to break. However, that Tech package has automatic hi-beam dimming. You never have to touch the hi-beam switch while driving at night--one of the best features for me.
Yea i got the whole shabang and it was $85k+
@@miisfiitz310 You got a great vehicle. If you live in snow country, you can drive that thing year round. They are going away, so you can't put a price on them.
He stole it? 😊
My 2022 was 80k and with my dads control number it came down to 60$ with the other discount running at that time. 2022
Love my 21gt but i wonder how itll hold up after 5 years. Trying to keep it off the road during winter. I enjoy this car so much
4:24
It’s nice but after a certain amount of miles, be ready to shell out $$$ just to keep it running
I still have my ‘98 Durango SLT, OE engine/transmission, still kicking at 352 K miles. The newer cars , although more efficient, are more fragile with the electronics.
Afternoon Scotty! 🏁
Really loving all these videos Scotty! I own a Durango Express 2011 and although its a beast and excellent for towing a trailer, its not without its challenges.
Recently had to get transmission rebuilt at 150k along with lots of part swaps over the past few years. Even after the rebuild the transmission still has the notorious slip clunk when downshifting occasionally into 1st from 2nd. Chrysler transmission is indeed crap! Was wondering if there was anything i could do or part to swap to correct this. Cost me close to $4k and now im thinking i should of had my transmission guy just replace as oppose to rebuild. They have a 2 year warantee on it so im thinking about bringing back in. I know 3rd gen durangos have a plethora of known problems associated, would love to see a video on your channel. Its a shame because even the base models with the v6 flex engine are solid other than the specific issues these trucks are prone to. I dumped too much money and time into this vehicle already, plan on keeping mine for a while and then eventually looking at a subaru or possibly a honda pilot. Thanks for all the honest and hilarious content.. you really are the best!
I like Scotty's videos, but he is harsh on Dodge for the most part. I have the most uncool Dodge, a 2015 Caravan, which I bought new in 2015. I do all the routine maintenance and oil changes. I've driven it across country and back, up and down the east coast multiple time from NC to Boston and back. got 170,000 miles now. No issues yet. Versatile, can carry 7 people, seats fold down and I can haul tons of stuff. I get 25 mpg on highway and about 18 to 20 mpg in local driving. Scotty if you read this, you might be thinking I'm just lucky, but I'd bet many Dodge owners just don't stay up on their schedules maintenance. Also, I admit I don't routinely floor the gas, I drive it moderately intentionally to take it easy on the transmission. Very happy with my nerd mobile.
