We have two 392 Chargers for almost 2 years now with no issues. We are very grateful and blessed to have them in our life. Plus, me and the wife have so much fun racing each other and just daily driving them. Great video review and hopefully our last like yours did!!!!
Nice to see you are enjoying your car and using it for its intended purpose. Too many people buy performance cars and either beat the crap out of them and pass them off to the next sucker or hide them away and never drive them. And too many people are scared of miles. Cars are machines they are meant to be driven
That's all me I keep it away and hide it until someone wants to race me in my Daily then I laugh knowing I can beat it in my Dodge no racing in my KIA sorry
Wow bro, I thought I had the most mileage on a 2015 scat pack. I’m at 157k in b5 blue, honestly I’ve never had one issue. I’ve recently replaced the brake pads and battery…that’s it. These cars are beasts and will hold up for 300k miles if everyone would just take care of them. Great video sir, hopefully you can get her to 200k and beyond.
Shit man. My 2015 scat had lifter failure which immediately destroyed the engine at 40k miles. I had 3 days left in warranty and they luckily replaced the engine. At 60k miles the PDS failed. Drive shaft failed 73k miles. All under warranty. It now has 102k miles and has had no issues since 73k miles when driveshaft failed
Awesome video & congrats! 👏🏽 currently at 137k miles on my 2015 scatpack 6.4. No issues to report what so ever, has been a phenomenal A to B car averaging 20.8mpg.
Thanks again Johnny, been watching you Scat vids since '16. I have a 2017 Charger SRT with 22K miles. Bought it new and still in love with it but I will sell it. The car is pristine in every way. Billet Silver...fully loaded with every option possible...Harman, sunroof, red belts, etc. I have had to replace the water pump and NAV unit under warranty. 2nd set of Pirelli's and PowerStop pads. Also...full bumper/hood wrapped with XPEL. Never raced, never used launch control, never fried the tires...just sporty everyday driven. I've changed the Pennzoil every 2K miles. I will sell it for $60K. Yes...above bluebook but it looks and runs absolutely like new. This is the last of the SRT's and those 3 letters make all the difference. I'm in SoCal...respond if interested.
As a 2018 Scat Pack charger owner I agree with you, is a performance car and things need to be taken care so it can be reliable for longer time, that is why when they say we recommend X and Y part is cuz it needs to be taken care for longevity of that part of the car that is being serviced Also regardless of brand all of them need to be taken care in all their moving parts as time passes so they can hold up for a long time
glad to hear. i ordered a 21 sp in sept '21 and got it 5 months later. after about 8 months later, i'm about to hit 10k miles, and basically put it away for the winter. i did first oil change at 1k, then again at 5k, and will be doing it every 5k, just like i do in every car i have owned.
Very cool opening. I picked up a 2022 Widebody Challenger Scat Pack this past Memorial Day and I hope I have half the luck that you have had with yours. Mine is my daily driver but I only put just about 10 miles a day on it. I think I could live for another 100 years and not hit 100,000 miles. I hope you get to put another 170, 000 on it!👍🏼
Got me a 2021 widebody a month ago with 23k miles on her as my daily driver and its been great so far. I only put 140 miles on it every week spending $70 a week on gas but other than the gas this car is a dream compared to the 2007 rt magnum I got back in the day. Great video sir keep them coming
@@terrylee773 Unlike a Jap Crap shitbox, you can beat the shit of these vehicles and they will hold up, as long as you maintain with the proper mileage maintenance. The problem is that Mopar dealerships SELL vehicles to customers who cannot afford these vehicles and bc of that, these vehicles, especially with the V8's are dogged on really bad and they don't have enough money to maintain them! That is the whole reason why these vehicles are bad bc of the irresponsible, cheap owner who thinks an engine oil and filter change means spending extra money unnecessarily on the vehicle. I see this frequently as an Automotive Service Advisor who has worked FOR Chrysler. Chrysler vehicles are by far the most neglected, most poorly maintained VEHICLES on the road today or even before. Those Hemis, if properly taken care of, last over 300k miles without a single issue except for wear and tear, such as batteries, brakes and tires! You don't maintain your Jap Crap vehicle like the way most Chrysler owners do, it will last barely 30k miles! Again, my experience as an Automotive Service Advisor, shows to me that if a Japcrap vehicle is not maintained, they will not last more than 30k miles without an engine oil and filter change and will need an entire new short block. whereas if you don't maintain a Hemi or a pentastar V6 for that matter, more than 70% of the time, all you need is valvetrain replaced, not a short block like Japcrap vehicles. Jap crap vehicles tend to burn oil if it is poorly maintained, the piston rings they use, especially since 2007, are low tension piston rings, hence a lot more gap between the piston and the rings , which means that sludge gets caught in the rings, increasing the gap and therefore it burns oil. Unlike Chrysler however, Japcrap car makers don't just sell vehicles to those who cannot afford it or have bad credit. They sell it to people who have decent credit or have enough disposable income to keep with the vehicle expenses and thus maintain it way better than how Mopar owners do it THAT IS THE MAIN REASON WHY JAP CRAP VEHICLES DON'T SEEM TO HAVE TOO MANY ISSUES BECAUSE IT IS WAY BETTER MAINTAINED THAN THE AVERAGE MOPAR OWNER AND MOST JAPANESE VEHICLES ARE NOT DRIVEN THAT HARD. AS A MATTER OF FACT, UNLESS IT IS A CIVIC SI OR COROLLA GH-R, THEY ARE SO GENTLY DRIVEN IN COMPARISON TO MOPAR. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON TO SEE MOPARS WITH BALD REAR TIRES & BURNT OUT DIFFERENTIALS BE IT A V6 OR A HEMI AS MOST OF THE YOUNG OWNERS DRIVE THESE VEHICLES SO HARD AND NOT MAINTAIN THEM WELL THAT PROBLEMS JUST CREEP UP BECAUSE OF THE ABUSE and lack of or no maintenance! The Mopars I have seen that have unbelievably high mileage on them and they have been reliable and durable, the owners maintained their Mopars before the actual mileage to maintain them came up. In other words, bc they maintained them very well, they got years and several hundred thousand miles of good service out of them without anything major going out on them. I myself and my entire family have owned 10 Mopars over the years and bc we maintain them well, all of them had over 150 000 miles on the original powertrain. As a matter of fact I had one Mopar, an 88 Plymouth Gran Fury, which had over 377k miles on the original engine and it still was running but because it was rusting through the rear quarter panels, I had to junk it. I bought that Gran Fury in 2000 and junked in 2005. One of the nicest all around vehicles I have ever had! I won't buy anything since Stellantis took over, but I will buy most Mopars until 2020.
Fantastic review! I just hit 90k on my 5.7 Challenger. Love these cars and they are one of the last modern day model cars that harken back to the “Golden Ear” of muscle cars.
Adding Lucus Engine oil additive at every oil change will keep your 5.7 or 6.4 from that annoying tick. I use it in my 2014 Charger R/T Plus currently at 106k miles and still running strong.
Update: At 99,745 miles. I had 2-4 “ticking” episodes at cold starts, but they went away after 2-3 seconds. Never popped a code or had performance issues thankfully. They do sound like sewing machines though😅 Changing oil every 5k miles.
Great video. You gave me some assurance on my 2021 Scat Challenger. Got it from the factory, she’s my daily driver and I drive a lot. So far have 45,000 miles. It gets all of the scheduled maintenance like clock work. Thanks for making me feel like I’m not killing her. You have a new subscriber.
Holy Cow, 45k miles on a 2021. Mine is also a 2021 and I got mine from the factory December of 2020, Also a daily driver, with a 40 miler round trip and I only have 25k on mine. Glad to know that challengers will last that long also.
Proud to see it. Maintenance is mega important. As long we keep that up, these things will go go go. I’m at 132,500 on my 2016 Scat Shaker Challenger. I’m on original motor and trans as well. I still take mine to the track and race. Granted I have a lot of aftermarket parts, headers, tune, etc. But, these things hold up even with mods. I never miss oil changes and I keep close attention to anything that may seem off. These things will last if you take care of it. You can’t avoid cosmetic damage or wear though sadly as you showed. My driver’s seat also has some wear. I think imo, it just all comes down to how people want to treat their car. It definitely is more expensive to maintain than a normal grocery getter. And it’s okay to not be perfect.
@Meatislife That is damn right. Mopar has stepped up their game with many of their vehicles, especially since 2015. I have seen many of these Chargers, 300's, Challengers with over 300k miles on their original powertrain and almost every other component, except for wear and tear items such as brakes, batteries, tires and alternators. I have seen many minivans since 2011 go well over 300k, Rams, Certain Jeep models such as the Grand Cherokee, Avenger, Chrysler 200c (v6 only), and Journey with these kind of high mileages, IF THEY ARE MAINTAINED VERY WELL! THAT IS THE KEY FOR ANY VEHICLE, REGARDLESS OF THE MANUFACTURER, TO LAST. The issue many owners of Mopar are cheap skates because they cannot afford their vehicle in the first place and thus they don't have enough money to afford the maintenance. But this is Chrysler's fault as Chrysler will sell a vehicle to anybody who has a driver's license! GM, Ford and other automakers will not do that if you cannot afford the vehicle. That is why Mopars have a bad reputation because it is being sold to people who have more ego than financial common sense! The vehicles I won't buy or recommend from Mopar are the Jeep Renegade and smaller Cherokee as well as the Patriot as they are nothing but rebadged Fiats. the Dodge Dart (2013-2015), another Fiat, Jeep Wrangler or the 4 cylinder Journey or 200. These vehicles use a lot of Fiat parts such as the engine and other systems such as the fuel systems and they are highly unreliable no matter how well you maintain them. You will get the odd one that is reliable but that is a rarity!
Great vid. I daily drive my 2019, just ticked over 81k miles. Very reliable although I suspect my rear diff will need replacing soon, otherwise nothing to report. No rattles, engine pulls strong with very little oil consumption. Very happy. As you say, mantain these well and they are a solid car.
@@zaire.mg. slight shake at highway speed and under hard acceleration. Feels like it's coming fr the back. Checked pretty much everything else so far, drive shaft, Hub, wheel balanced twice. Dropped the diff fluid recently, seemed fine. Still a mystery but narrowing it down and feel it could be the diff. Faint howl from the rear at highway speed too, typical diff symptom.
@@Driver.Diaries dude I would try tires first before swapping the diff. My hemi used to shake a bit at 130-140ish but it ended up being just needed better tires.
I have been getting more and more anxious finding myself looking to want to buy one, a scat pack, I seem to like them more and more every time I look at them lol
Great video. I have a 15 Srt Hellcat challenger. I have maintained mine and it has 51,000 miles now. I have went through 2sets of drag Radials tires , several oil changes. I swapped my good Brembo disc brake pads for powerstop to cut down on brake dust, and it's time for 1st Clutch. Wife raced the car after finding out about my Dads Alzhimers condition to vent and she rode the clutch a little to hard. Very reliable. Love this car. Thanks for the great review. Keep enjoying the car
My 2013 srt8 392 made it to 145k miles. I will say, I did have to rebuilt the motor at 112k miles due to the lifter failure (typical hemi tick) BUT it wasn't that difficult or expensive and I cammed it after that. Made 575whp. Kept it another year before trading it for my 2018 hellcat redeye (for obvious reasons lol) and even with 800hp....I still miss that ol 392 sometimes. Love these things.
Just picked up a 22 scat pack chally wally. 6 speed, base line, no electronics, no leather seats. Got the extended warranty and I'm planning on passing it on to my family when I'm gone.
Amazing ! I only lasted 45K miles before some lady crashed into me while she was texting, but ended up getting a Widebody shaker challenger 6speed manual.
These cars runs hard and often abused and still able to be reliable just imagine if it was well taken care and not abused it probably would last as long as a Lexus or Honda
Not even close. The lexus is-f is the benchmark of reliable V8 sedan tomfoolery, with it's 5.0 DOHC V8 and 8spd transmission debuting in 2008. The majority of Japan made cars were/are on another level of build quality...sadly most Honda/Toyota are made in the USA now.
I have a '19 Scat Pack with about 23k miles on it. I have an extended warranty (7 years) as the max care was not available when I bought my car. I must say, it is a lot of fun to drive and I haven't had any reliability issues. That being said, I'm very soured on Dodge due to the service departments at our local dealers. My wife has a '14 Durango RT and she does have the max care warranty. That was our first ever Dodge and my SP was our second. She has about 90k miles on it and for the most part she has loved her Durango. Over the last couple of years though, there have been various reliability issues ranging from electrical issues, problems with her AC, transmission and most recently her starter. Having the max care warranty has easily been the best financial decision for her Durango as it has paid for itself multiple times over. Our biggest issue is with the service department. Even though we make an appointment for her vehicle, we have to drop it off in order for it to remain in the queue before it can diagnosed by a technician. Her Durango is currently at the dealer because the starter is failing. We dropped it off on 11/17 and we still haven't gotten it back. It took them until last week (the 23rd) before a technician could actually look at only for them to tell us that they couldn't replicate the issue (hard time starting it). They needed my wife to go down and show them even though she had made a video of the issue, showed it to the advisor and even having him try it himself when she first dropped it off. They basically said she needed to go to the dealer so she could push the start button. She went to the dealer and it did exactly what she said it was doing on Tuesday (the 29th). Now we're waiting for them to fix it so we can get rid of it. This is just one example of how the dealer has handled repairs on her Durango. We drop it off so it can sit on the lot and take up space, even if the issue is not safety related. It takes them a week plus before they even get to diagnosing the issue. They say they can't replicate it and so she'll inevitably bring it back or if they can replicate the issue, it takes them a few more days to actually repair it. The last couple of years, she hasn't been offered a rental, which I thought was part of the max care coverage, but maybe I am mistaken. So not only is she without a car for a week or two, we either have to pay out of pocket for a rental or have to rely on family to borrow one of their vehicles. While my Scat Pack hasn't had any reliability issues, I can only imagine I will have the same experience when it does start having issues so I'm not considering selling my Scat Pack sooner than I thought to avoid having to go through the same thing. Also, we've gone to a total of 4 different Dodge dealers in our area, and they are all the same. Sorry for the long rant, but I figured I'd share our experience as well. The vehicles themselves are fantastic.....when they work properly. It's the service department that ruins it for us.
The service depart/car dealership is everything with maxcare! I've dropped a few dealers because they just suck and I'll leave it at that. But a good dealer will take care of you.
Hi! I'd like to see 2 things that are quite significant at such a high mileage car. 1 - The camshaft and lifters. 2 - You live in New Jersey if I'm correct so the car definitely comes in contact with salt, I'd like to see under the car.
Im so happy this video is here ive been watching the journey on this car since the beginning, i cant wait for the 200k review Hands down the BEST real world review on scatpack cars,Its stock and is a daily driver that has been on trips ,to work ,to the dragstrip ,driven easily ,driven hard ,I really cant wait to see 200k .
@@johnnygt6039 It sure has ,i just had to add to my comment because i just finished watching the video ,but this car and these reviews every so often are awesome, i really look forward to them
I'm at 46k miles. Had it's since 27 or so. Still daily driving. Glad you made an update. I really need to get a clear bra/PPF up front. I work too much to fully paint, correct this thing. also don't want to spend the money to have someone do it lol may have to change my mind the next few months.
Great video man definitely made me feel better about my decision . Got myself a 21 scat pack as a daily / just car i’ve always wanted i don’t abuse it like everybody else i will step on it here nd there maybe swing a corner a couple times but nothing too crazy nd i do olán on keeping it as long as i can so this video definitely made me feel good about my decision.
Even though, I know these cop cars isn't a scat pack, however, I had a wreck in my semi in KY and the responding deputy had a 2018. He said after a 100k they start really acting up. Again, I know the cop car isn't a scat, but for you to make it that far is a blessing. Now my 2006 Daytona, now that thing is a p.o.s. I've replace that engine at 125k and the replacement went out at 120k. Thinking about a 6.1 swap now smh
@johnnyGT congratulations 🎉brotha ok hitting the 170,000mile mark I look forward to hitting numbers higher then that with my 2019 dodge Charger SCATPACK as well I’m very far behind on mileage but I do look forward to having the car and enjoying it for the next 20years for sure
Purchased mine in 2021 October. Put 23k on it in a year and one month. I'm on the exact track to your milage. No way I'll pay for a car and put it in the garage to hide.
That’s crazy I have a 2013 srt8 I have 50k miles on it no issues at all and I have fun with it it’s mainly a weekend car but I enjoy driving it on weekends I’m on my 4th pair of tires do😅 have not done anything aside from a new battery there awesome cars
I have a 2019 Challenger scat 6 speed. It’s my daily as well it’s currently at 102k Miles. I have been to many car meets and car cruises in it and that’s where most of my miles came from but I can say I have only had one issue was my clutch went out and that was more of my fault and also teach my family member how to drive stick lol. But yes keep your maintenance on it and it will last . I have no mods but I guess you can say just a oil catch can. But keep in mind guys yes it’s a sport car but dodge made these cars as GT cars and also a car you can abuse but of course maintain it.
John, I agree with you. If you maintain your vehicle properly, the things you mentioned, I would consider as normal replacement items. I actually don't like Chrysler products, prefer GM over Chrysler, however your car shows that the Charger RT with the Scat-Pack is a reliable car. Good video, thanks!
Just subbed. I like the points you made about the consumer to consumer review and how it’s different than the old school magazine or even a 3rd party company’s review. I had no business watching this cause I’m gonna pre order the new stang but Great video man keep it up
@@johnnygt6039 I’ll agree I love the look and the interior is finally worth my money lol but pre orders don’t start till September/august of next year so I’m waiting for that
@@johnnygt6039 I’m gonna go with vapor blue if I can’t get a custom order for the blue ember paint that comes on the dark horse. Yeah the dark horse is cool but I’m just not all that interested in it I’d rather pick and choose what to add to a GT when it has more aftermarket support with add on’s
I just brought a 2016 SRT with 143k 1 owner, ( not including the thieves stolen @ 142k ) which the insurance insurance salvaged out for broken glass sunroof . Driver & passenger side windows
MOST definitely is not cheating making SURE that the vehicle you are looking to buy is going to come with a good warranty, I mean for the price of vehicles nowadays why wouldn't you
great video bro. For a dodge i am very surprised that the paint is hold up after all those miles. we just bought a 22 challenger scatpack with the red interior love it.
Awesome JonnyGT, these engines are so robust, when you hit the 200k mark. I am sure you will make a Video about it. It's amazing what rountine maintenance can do, just keeping the car stock. Nothing like a V8 engine!
Nice review! I’m glad that longevity is included if you take care of your machine. My used Challenger’s seats look worse than yours with far fewer miles, tbh. Same year, but if your seats look like that, the previous owner of mine must’ve weighed 500 pounds! Or they just loved to sit in it when it wasn’t moving. 😂
Another cost to consider with a car like this would be speeding tickets, I get them enough already with under 200hp and I can’t imagine almost 500hp would help with that😂 if you drive a car like this responsibly good for you!
Bro about the paddle right paddle shifter downshifting when you press it. That’s perfectly normal a friend of mine showed me that in the trackhawk, it happens when you lightly press the right paddle shifter the car will downshift, so if you ever do plan to use them again just press the paddle a tab bit harder to ensure you shift into a higher gear. Other then that great vid and good job keeping up up with the car.👍
Glad you’ve been able to get so much out of your car! I recently purchased an SRT 392 with just over 89k miles, any oil you would recommend at this mileage?
Good video, and i agree about the ware n tear of the sports cars, they are usually driven much harder than a corolla type driver, so it sounds like you've taken good car of it. Most newer vehicles will last longer if the maintenance is just completed at the proper time.
The maxcare warranty is cool and all. But since you referenced scotty kilmer, his point in many of his videos is that half of those things you got replaced on your 7 year old vehicle wouldn’t need to be replaced for 15 to 20 years on a Toyota or a honda. That’s actually reliability. Whether it’s covered on not, the fact that all these parts need to be replaced within 5-7 years indicates a lack of quality.
I hear you but imo and as I stated in my video. These are performance vehicles, not A to B economy cars. I don't believe it's apples to apples. But the point of my video is to lay out the facts and let the viewer decide. Thanks for watching!
@@johnnygt6039 I have 2 cars…2013 Accord and 2012 Chrysler 200…one is running and has gave me no issues and the other is a damn headache and hasn’t ran in months…guess which is which lol…there’s apples to apples for ya ! Dodge will never compare to Hondas reliability
@@dabaddestdj2010 of course it won’t lmao. One is a economy boring box. The other is a performance vehicle. Would you compare a donkey and a stallion race horse? No. Two different vehicles.
@@bigde131 apparently you didn’t read my comment correctly…I didn’t compare the accord to the scat pack I compared it to a Chrysler 200…like I said before I own an accord and a 200 and both cars would be in the same class, apples to apples but to my point was that one of them is reliable as fuck and had gave me no issues while the other is a complete piece of shit I wish I never bought…so as I said before dodge / Chrysler / FCA / Stellantis or whatever you wanna call them as whole is trash ! I also know a woman with a 2020 jeep compass with 28k miles and guess what it idles louder than my Honda which has 152k miles lol…it also just got serviced for a bad u joint and the key fob works intermittently so yea trash !!!!!
Hey. If I were you, I would make sure you check things like your water pump, fuel pump, coolant and transmission hoses, etc. After 174,000 miles you have problems. I got rid of mine and got a new Honda Civic. So my Charger had a great run but it was sad to let it go.
That’s pretty good especially when you hear of the problems with the lifter/camshaft some have had .seems to me they shouldn’t be executing such popular cars .Ps I prefer the front facia on your car to the current too busy extra level sprouting from the straight across front bumper
Is your warranty a special warranty? I'm just now looking into just the sxt v6 maybe the awd not sure just as a daily I don't need much power to get around but I've been told alot of bad things and your video helped me they get bet up and abused but if you car for them and don't smash around they should last long. Great video loved watching it
I would add another point: the performance potential and the many owners that don’t do maintenance makes getting a used higher tier Dodge particularly frightening. If I were ever going to get another one I would buy used but insist on all of the service records.🤔
Im at 120k, and just had to replace a head gasket, motor pumps, water pump, timing belt, and replaced the Uconnect system because it was delaminating. I do regular oil changes every 5k, so I’m hoping with all these replacements it can last me another 120k, kind of sucks that it all hit me in a short period of time on my SXT plus and second guessing Dodge, but hopefully all these replacements were worth it, although I’m nervous now lol.
Making it to 170K with a Scat pack without it being crashed or stolen is an accomplishment in and of itself lol. Good job man.
I mean stolen yes, crashed...just don't be an idiot🤷♂️
Yep I only got 25k before mine was stolen got it back but always paranoid now

Nice to see you are enjoying your car and using it for its intended purpose.

Cars are machines they are meant to be driven

These cars are made to be beat on, as long as you're not bouncing off the rev limiter, putting regular gas and beating on it etc

Miles kill values and people loose more money😢
Wow bro, I thought I had the most mileage on a 2015 scat pack. I’m at 157k in b5 blue, honestly I’ve never had one issue. I’ve recently replaced the brake pads and battery…that’s it. These cars are beasts and will hold up for 300k miles if everyone would just take care of them. Great video sir, hopefully you can get her to 200k and beyond.

I have the same year with 92k but I have a shaker
Shit man. My 2015 scat had lifter failure which immediately destroyed the engine at 40k miles. I had 3 days left in warranty and they luckily replaced the engine. At 60k miles the PDS failed. Drive shaft failed 73k miles. All under warranty. It now has 102k miles and has had no issues since 73k miles when driveshaft failed

As a 2018 Scat Pack charger owner I agree with you, is a performance car and things need to be taken care so it can be reliable for longer time, that is why when they say we recommend X and Y part is cuz it needs to be taken care for longevity of that part of the car that is being serviced
Also regardless of brand all of them need to be taken care in all their moving parts as time passes so they can hold up for a long time
Had mine for 5 years.Only at 54k miles..No Problems At All with the SCAT.Good car to get Around in or travel the road..
I had a base 2017 Charger. Put about 65k miles on it in 2 years. Other than some interior panel peeling issues the car held up great.
Dam bro this normal driving for you or just having fun with the car. That’s a lot of miles in 2 years

Not just that keep in mind he’s running it on the track, it’s holding up 💪 for the daily drivers
glad to hear. i ordered a 21 sp in sept '21 and got it 5 months later. after about 8 months later, i'm about to hit 10k miles, and basically put it away for the winter. i did first oil change at 1k, then again at 5k, and will be doing it every 5k, just like i do in every car i have owned.
Yeah I always change my oil 3-5k, even if the manufacturer says 10k
Very cool opening. I picked up a 2022 Widebody Challenger Scat Pack this past Memorial Day and I hope I have half the luck that you have had with yours. Mine is my daily driver but I only put just about 10 miles a day on it. I think I could live for another 100 years and not hit 100,000 miles. I hope you get to put another 170, 000 on it!👍🏼
Awesome Scoop! Congrats :)
@@392Reviews thank you!
Got me a 2021 widebody a month ago with 23k miles on her as my daily driver and its been great so far. I only put 140 miles on it every week spending $70 a week on gas but other than the gas this car is a dream compared to the 2007 rt magnum I got back in the day. Great video sir keep them coming
Love the wide body!

Well one things for sure. Reliability is not an issue. With proper maintenance of course.
I was always seeing hate comments about these chargers that they don't even last 100k miles, I'm glad you proved them wrong
No they do they don’t make it to 200,000 miles without basically repairing the whole damn engine
@@terrylee773 Unlike a Jap Crap shitbox, you can beat the shit of these vehicles and they will hold up, as long as you maintain with the proper mileage maintenance. The problem is that Mopar dealerships SELL vehicles to customers who cannot afford these vehicles and bc of that, these vehicles, especially with the V8's are dogged on really bad and they don't have enough money to maintain them! That is the whole reason why these vehicles are bad bc of the irresponsible, cheap owner who thinks an engine oil and filter change means spending extra money unnecessarily on the vehicle. I see this frequently as an Automotive Service Advisor who has worked FOR Chrysler. Chrysler vehicles are by far the most neglected, most poorly maintained VEHICLES on the road today or even before.
Those Hemis, if properly taken care of, last over 300k miles without a single issue except for wear and tear, such as batteries, brakes and tires!
You don't maintain your Jap Crap vehicle like the way most Chrysler owners do, it will last barely 30k miles! Again, my experience as an Automotive Service Advisor,
shows to me that if a Japcrap vehicle is not maintained, they will not last more than 30k miles without an engine oil and filter change and will need an entire new short block. whereas if you don't maintain a Hemi or a pentastar V6 for that matter, more than 70% of the time, all you need is valvetrain replaced, not a short block like Japcrap vehicles. Jap crap vehicles tend to burn oil if it is poorly maintained, the piston rings they use, especially since 2007, are low tension piston rings, hence a lot more gap between the piston and the rings , which means that sludge gets caught in the rings, increasing the gap and therefore it burns oil.
Unlike Chrysler however, Japcrap car makers don't just sell vehicles to those who cannot afford it or have bad credit. They sell it to people who have decent credit or have enough disposable income to keep with the vehicle expenses and thus maintain it way better than how Mopar owners do it THAT IS THE MAIN REASON WHY JAP CRAP VEHICLES DON'T SEEM TO HAVE TOO MANY ISSUES BECAUSE IT IS WAY BETTER MAINTAINED THAN THE AVERAGE MOPAR OWNER AND MOST JAPANESE VEHICLES ARE NOT DRIVEN THAT HARD. AS A MATTER OF FACT, UNLESS IT IS A CIVIC SI OR COROLLA GH-R, THEY ARE SO GENTLY DRIVEN IN COMPARISON TO MOPAR. IT IS NOT UNCOMMON TO SEE MOPARS WITH BALD REAR TIRES & BURNT OUT DIFFERENTIALS BE IT A V6 OR A HEMI AS MOST OF THE YOUNG OWNERS DRIVE THESE VEHICLES SO HARD AND NOT MAINTAIN THEM WELL THAT PROBLEMS JUST CREEP UP BECAUSE OF THE ABUSE and lack of or no maintenance!
The Mopars I have seen that have unbelievably high mileage on them and they have been reliable and durable, the owners maintained their Mopars before the actual mileage to maintain them came up. In other words, bc they maintained them very well, they got years and several hundred thousand miles of good service out of them without anything major going out on them.
I myself and my entire family have owned 10 Mopars over the years and bc we maintain them well, all of them had over 150 000 miles on the original powertrain. As a matter of fact I had one Mopar, an 88 Plymouth Gran Fury, which had over 377k miles on the original engine and it still was running but because it was rusting through the rear quarter panels, I had to junk it. I bought that Gran Fury in 2000 and junked in 2005. One of the nicest all around vehicles I have ever had!
I won't buy anything since Stellantis took over, but I will buy most Mopars until 2020.
Fantastic review! I just hit 90k on my 5.7 Challenger. Love these cars and they are one of the last modern day model cars that harken back to the “Golden Ear” of muscle cars.
Be prepared after 150,000 miles. Hopefully it doesn’t tick
@@terrylee773 newer hemis don't tick. Unless there's some neglecting there,
@@2024hekyeah u sure about that what year?
Adding Lucus Engine oil additive at every oil change will keep your 5.7 or 6.4 from that annoying tick. I use it in my 2014 Charger R/T Plus currently at 106k miles and still running strong.
Update: At 99,745 miles. I had 2-4 “ticking” episodes at cold starts, but they went away after 2-3 seconds. Never popped a code or had performance issues thankfully. They do sound like sewing machines though😅 Changing oil every 5k miles.
Great video. You gave me some assurance on my 2021 Scat Challenger. Got it from the factory, she’s my daily driver and I drive a lot. So far have 45,000 miles. It gets all of the scheduled maintenance like clock work. Thanks for making me feel like I’m not killing her. You have a new subscriber.
Holy Cow, 45k miles on a 2021. Mine is also a 2021 and I got mine from the factory December of 2020, Also a daily driver, with a 40 miler round trip and I only have 25k on mine. Glad to know that challengers will last that long also.
@@willpatscully challengers & chargers are pretty much the same car👍
Thinking about getting one, do you spend a lot in gas?
Proud to see it. Maintenance is mega important. As long we keep that up, these things will go go go. I’m at 132,500 on my 2016 Scat Shaker Challenger. I’m on original motor and trans as well. I still take mine to the track and race. Granted I have a lot of aftermarket parts, headers, tune, etc. But, these things hold up even with mods. I never miss oil changes and I keep close attention to anything that may seem off. These things will last if you take care of it. You can’t avoid cosmetic damage or wear though sadly as you showed. My driver’s seat also has some wear. I think imo, it just all comes down to how people want to treat their car. It definitely is more expensive to maintain than a normal grocery getter. And it’s okay to not be perfect.
Like the video. I personally have 2016 with 120k. Normal maintenance some control arm bushings waterpump driveshaft and motor mounts. No abusing
Dodge really stepped up their game with these. These cars are bulletproof
@Meatislife That is damn right. Mopar has stepped up their game with many of their vehicles, especially since 2015. I have seen many of these Chargers, 300's, Challengers with over 300k miles on their original powertrain and almost every other component, except for wear and tear items such as brakes, batteries, tires and alternators.
I have seen many minivans since 2011 go well over 300k, Rams, Certain Jeep models such as the Grand Cherokee, Avenger, Chrysler 200c (v6 only), and Journey with these kind of high mileages, IF THEY ARE MAINTAINED VERY WELL! THAT IS THE KEY FOR ANY VEHICLE, REGARDLESS OF THE MANUFACTURER, TO LAST. The issue many owners of Mopar are cheap skates because they cannot afford their vehicle in the first place and thus they don't have enough money to afford the maintenance. But this is Chrysler's fault as Chrysler will sell a vehicle to anybody who has a driver's license! GM, Ford and other automakers will not do that if you cannot afford the vehicle. That is why Mopars have a bad reputation because it is being sold to people who have more ego than financial common sense!
The vehicles I won't buy or recommend from Mopar are the Jeep Renegade and smaller Cherokee as well as the Patriot as they are nothing but rebadged Fiats. the Dodge Dart (2013-2015), another Fiat, Jeep Wrangler or the 4 cylinder Journey or 200. These vehicles use a lot of Fiat parts such as the engine and other systems such as the fuel
systems and they are highly unreliable no matter how well you maintain them. You will get the odd one that is reliable but that is a rarity!
Great vid. I daily drive my 2019, just ticked over 81k miles. Very reliable although I suspect my rear diff will need replacing soon, otherwise nothing to report. No rattles, engine pulls strong with very little oil consumption. Very happy. As you say, mantain these well and they are a solid car.
What symptoms is your differential going through to make your day that?
Do u change the rear diff oil from time to time?
@@zaire.mg. slight shake at highway speed and under hard acceleration. Feels like it's coming fr the back. Checked pretty much everything else so far, drive shaft, Hub, wheel balanced twice. Dropped the diff fluid recently, seemed fine. Still a mystery but narrowing it down and feel it could be the diff. Faint howl from the rear at highway speed too, typical diff symptom.
Mine was making a weird shudder when fully turning at low speed. there was a technical bulletin to flush and replace diff fluid and it went away
@@Driver.Diaries dude I would try tires first before swapping the diff. My hemi used to shake a bit at 130-140ish but it ended up being just needed better tires.
I have been getting more and more anxious finding myself looking to want to buy one, a scat pack, I seem to like them more and more every time I look at them lol
I know the feeling, lol!
So to sum it up: pretty reliable except for a few small issues. Never left you stranded.
Well i ran out of gas a few times 🤣🤷♂️
The country needs more men like you. Dope car. Awesome story❤
Appreciate it man!
Great video. I have a 15 Srt Hellcat challenger. I have maintained mine and it has 51,000 miles now. I have went through 2sets of drag Radials tires , several oil changes. I swapped my good Brembo disc brake pads for powerstop to cut down on brake dust, and it's time for 1st Clutch. Wife raced the car after finding out about my Dads Alzhimers condition to vent and she rode the clutch a little to hard. Very reliable. Love this car. Thanks for the great review. Keep enjoying the car
Thanks man! She just hit 200k- video soon!
Tell your wife don’t drive your sh*t nomore, she coulda drove sum else
My 2013 srt8 392 made it to 145k miles. I will say, I did have to rebuilt the motor at 112k miles due to the lifter failure (typical hemi tick) BUT it wasn't that difficult or expensive and I cammed it after that. Made 575whp. Kept it another year before trading it for my 2018 hellcat redeye (for obvious reasons lol) and even with 800hp....I still miss that ol 392 sometimes. Love these things.
The Redeye is the move! Congrats! Lol!
Just picked up a 22 scat pack chally wally. 6 speed, base line, no electronics, no leather seats. Got the extended warranty and I'm planning on passing it on to my family when I'm gone.
Nice! Congrats! What kind of extend warranty?
im doing 15k miles a year and HARD HARD miles. Not one issue in 2 years so far lol Love the 392!
Amazing ! I only lasted 45K miles before some lady crashed into me while she was texting, but ended up getting a Widebody shaker challenger 6speed manual.
Sorry to hear but congratulations on the new car!
We need more videos on long term for performance vehicles like this one and many other nice job man 😮
These cars runs hard and often abused and still able to be reliable just imagine if it was well taken care and not abused it probably would last as long as a Lexus or Honda
Not even close. The lexus is-f is the benchmark of reliable V8 sedan tomfoolery, with it's 5.0 DOHC V8 and 8spd transmission debuting in 2008. The majority of Japan made cars were/are on another level of build quality...sadly most Honda/Toyota are made in the USA now.
@@michaelangelo5783japan and america are equally good when it comes to their engineering. They have their own systems, but overall both are excellent
I have a '19 Scat Pack with about 23k miles on it. I have an extended warranty (7 years) as the max care was not available when I bought my car. I must say, it is a lot of fun to drive and I haven't had any reliability issues. That being said, I'm very soured on Dodge due to the service departments at our local dealers. My wife has a '14 Durango RT and she does have the max care warranty. That was our first ever Dodge and my SP was our second. She has about 90k miles on it and for the most part she has loved her Durango. Over the last couple of years though, there have been various reliability issues ranging from electrical issues, problems with her AC, transmission and most recently her starter. Having the max care warranty has easily been the best financial decision for her Durango as it has paid for itself multiple times over. Our biggest issue is with the service department. Even though we make an appointment for her vehicle, we have to drop it off in order for it to remain in the queue before it can diagnosed by a technician. Her Durango is currently at the dealer because the starter is failing. We dropped it off on 11/17 and we still haven't gotten it back. It took them until last week (the 23rd) before a technician could actually look at only for them to tell us that they couldn't replicate the issue (hard time starting it). They needed my wife to go down and show them even though she had made a video of the issue, showed it to the advisor and even having him try it himself when she first dropped it off. They basically said she needed to go to the dealer so she could push the start button. She went to the dealer and it did exactly what she said it was doing on Tuesday (the 29th). Now we're waiting for them to fix it so we can get rid of it. This is just one example of how the dealer has handled repairs on her Durango. We drop it off so it can sit on the lot and take up space, even if the issue is not safety related. It takes them a week plus before they even get to diagnosing the issue. They say they can't replicate it and so she'll inevitably bring it back or if they can replicate the issue, it takes them a few more days to actually repair it. The last couple of years, she hasn't been offered a rental, which I thought was part of the max care coverage, but maybe I am mistaken. So not only is she without a car for a week or two, we either have to pay out of pocket for a rental or have to rely on family to borrow one of their vehicles. While my Scat Pack hasn't had any reliability issues, I can only imagine I will have the same experience when it does start having issues so I'm not considering selling my Scat Pack sooner than I thought to avoid having to go through the same thing. Also, we've gone to a total of 4 different Dodge dealers in our area, and they are all the same. Sorry for the long rant, but I figured I'd share our experience as well. The vehicles themselves are fantastic.....when they work properly. It's the service department that ruins it for us.
The service depart/car dealership is everything with maxcare! I've dropped a few dealers because they just suck and I'll leave it at that. But a good dealer will take care of you.
My 2016 scat pack just hit 60k miles flat. Had it for a while but this video definitely gives me more life expectancy for it haha
I just turned over 200k, so you'll be alright lol.
I’m saving up for a srt 392 and I can’t wait 😊
Hi! I'd like to see 2 things that are quite significant at such a high mileage car. 1 - The camshaft and lifters. 2 - You live in New Jersey if I'm correct so the car definitely comes in contact with salt, I'd like to see under the car.
Maintain is all bout everything No matters what car you drive.

I appreciate you being upfront and candid about the car. Great video! 👍🏽
49,000 miles my 2018 GT in black. No major issues.
Great cinematography. Thank you for the update.
Got mine at 95k miles right now and if you take care of it and change fluids when need this car is so reliable and fun
I'm at 46k miles. Had it's since 27 or so. Still daily driving. Glad you made an update. I really need to get a clear bra/PPF up front. I work too much to fully paint, correct this thing. also don't want to spend the money to have someone do it lol may have to change my mind the next few months.
Great video man definitely made me feel better about my decision . Got myself a 21 scat pack as a daily / just car i’ve always wanted i don’t abuse it like everybody else i will step on it here nd there maybe swing a corner a couple times but nothing too crazy nd i do olán on keeping it as long as i can so this video definitely made me feel good about my decision.
Just take care if it and it will take care of you. Thx for watching!
Even though, I know these cop cars isn't a scat pack, however, I had a wreck in my semi in KY and the responding deputy had a 2018. He said after a 100k they start really acting up. Again, I know the cop car isn't a scat, but for you to make it that far is a blessing.
Now my 2006 Daytona, now that thing is a p.o.s. I've replace that engine at 125k and the replacement went out at 120k. Thinking about a 6.1 swap now smh
Cop cars live different lives!🤣
@@johnnygt6039 right lol
@johnnyGT congratulations 🎉brotha ok hitting the 170,000mile mark I look forward to hitting numbers higher then that with my
2019 dodge Charger SCATPACK as well I’m very far behind on mileage but I do look forward to having the car and enjoying it for the next 20years for sure
Purchased mine in 2021 October. Put 23k on it in a year and one month. I'm on the exact track to your milage. No way I'll pay for a car and put it in the garage to hide.
The problem is really when people go up in the horses and don’t take care of it as much or try to boost it
Awesome I have a v6 now but I am getting a scatpack or Rt,but scatpack so I don’t have to throw mods at it congrats 🍾
That’s crazy I have a 2013 srt8 I have 50k miles on it no issues at all and I have fun with it it’s mainly a weekend car but I enjoy driving it on weekends I’m on my 4th pair of tires do😅 have not done anything aside from a new battery there awesome cars
Yeah I have a red 13 srt8 charger myself I love it
i got a 12 srt8 with 140k
2019 and 37k miles. Only thing odd was rear diff humming on turns. Replaced fluid and it went away. Fluid was dark…Everything else has been great.
I have a 2019 Challenger scat 6 speed. It’s my daily as well it’s currently at 102k Miles. I have been to many car meets and car cruises in it and that’s where most of my miles came from but I can say I have only had one issue was my clutch went out and that was more of my fault and also teach my family member how to drive stick lol. But yes keep your maintenance on it and it will last . I have no mods but I guess you can say just a oil catch can. But keep in mind guys yes it’s a sport car but dodge made these cars as GT cars and also a car you can abuse but of course maintain it.
John, I agree with you. If you maintain your vehicle properly, the things you mentioned, I would consider as normal replacement items. I actually don't like Chrysler products, prefer GM over Chrysler, however your car shows that the Charger RT with the Scat-Pack is a reliable car. Good video, thanks!
Just subbed. I like the points you made about the consumer to consumer review and how it’s different than the old school magazine or even a 3rd party company’s review. I had no business watching this cause I’m gonna pre order the new stang but Great video man keep it up

That is phenomenal! Love seeing these videos you are putting out! Can’t wait until I get my first V8 before they try to take them all away!
Like Dodge says- last call!
I just brought a 2016 SRT with 143k 1 owner, ( not including the thieves stolen @ 142k ) which the insurance insurance salvaged out for broken glass sunroof . Driver & passenger side windows
Two years in still love my scat
MOST definitely is not cheating making SURE that the vehicle you are looking to buy is going to come with a good warranty, I mean for the price of vehicles nowadays why wouldn't you
It’s all about the owner
Everything that been replaced seems normal except the driveshaft. Not bad at all 😁
great video bro. For a dodge i am very surprised that the paint is hold up after all those miles. we just bought a 22 challenger scatpack with the red interior love it.
Awesome JonnyGT, these engines are so robust, when you hit the 200k mark. I am sure you will make a Video about it. It's amazing what rountine maintenance can do, just keeping the car stock. Nothing like a V8 engine!
They're hit or miss in my experience
as long as youre changing the oil and not redlining every redlight u are at youll be good @@lclnbm
Nice review! I’m glad that longevity is included if you take care of your machine. My used Challenger’s seats look worse than yours with far fewer miles, tbh. Same year, but if your seats look like that, the previous owner of mine must’ve weighed 500 pounds! Or they just loved to sit in it when it wasn’t moving. 😂
Are your seats all leather or like mine? I don't think the full leather hold up as well.
Great vid. I’m at 113k on my 2015 6.4.
awesome review brother
Another cost to consider with a car like this would be speeding tickets, I get them enough already with under 200hp and I can’t imagine almost 500hp would help with that😂 if you drive a car like this responsibly good for you!
You get use to the power (which is always the problem🤣). A good radar detective and not driving like a lunatic usually will do the trick 😉
Plus age I suppose, I'm 37 now but when I was 18, I had a 3000GT (222HP) & I think I did some dumber things then.
Bro about the paddle right paddle shifter downshifting when you press it. That’s perfectly normal a friend of mine showed me that in the trackhawk, it happens when you lightly press the right paddle shifter the car will downshift, so if you ever do plan to use them again just press the paddle a tab bit harder to ensure you shift into a higher gear. Other then that great vid and good job keeping up up with the car.👍
7 minutes of chattery. You got that my boy. I’m gone reframe from spreading negative energy but keep god bruv.
Sheesh you be swinging it too . Gives me hope since I barely got 9k on mine
My 2015 5.7 120k has been sitting in a shop for 72 days waiting on lifters and a cam had a lifter failure. As a huge mopar guy I’m beyond pissed
Do a 200,000 mile update
I'm at 198k, so that video is coming!
Glad you’ve been able to get so much out of your car! I recently purchased an SRT 392 with just over 89k miles, any oil you would recommend at this mileage?
I've been using full synthetic at the dealership from day one. I also put 93 octane on the car. I'm currently at 211k miles.
Making it over 80k miles in a 392 without lifter tick is a blessing. Mine went at 60k miles lol
Good luck it’s going to cost alot to replace these hemi motors are pieces of shit I’m sorry
Good video, and i agree about the ware n tear of the sports cars, they are usually driven much harder than a corolla type driver, so it sounds like you've taken good car of it. Most newer vehicles will last longer if the maintenance is just completed at the proper time.
Great review I've been watching since the beginning to see how she's holding up looks like she's holding up well
Glad to hear!
Nice review man! Literally covered all the questions one might have for the longevity of charger scat packs.
The maxcare warranty is cool and all. But since you referenced scotty kilmer, his point in many of his videos is that half of those things you got replaced on your 7 year old vehicle wouldn’t need to be replaced for 15 to 20 years on a Toyota or a honda. That’s actually reliability. Whether it’s covered on not, the fact that all these parts need to be replaced within 5-7 years indicates a lack of quality.
I hear you but imo and as I stated in my video. These are performance vehicles, not A to B economy cars. I don't believe it's apples to apples. But the point of my video is to lay out the facts and let the viewer decide. Thanks for watching!
@@johnnygt6039 I have 2 cars…2013 Accord and 2012 Chrysler 200…one is running and has gave me no issues and the other is a damn headache and hasn’t ran in months…guess which is which lol…there’s apples to apples for ya ! Dodge will never compare to Hondas reliability
Facts !!!
@@dabaddestdj2010 of course it won’t lmao. One is a economy boring box. The other is a performance vehicle. Would you compare a donkey and a stallion race horse? No. Two different vehicles.
@@bigde131 apparently you didn’t read my comment correctly…I didn’t compare the accord to the scat pack I compared it to a Chrysler 200…like I said before I own an accord and a 200 and both cars would be in the same class, apples to apples but to my point was that one of them is reliable as fuck and had gave me no issues while the other is a complete piece of shit I wish I never bought…so as I said before dodge / Chrysler / FCA / Stellantis or whatever you wanna call them as whole is trash ! I also know a woman with a 2020 jeep compass with 28k miles and guess what it idles louder than my Honda which has 152k miles lol…it also just got serviced for a bad u joint and the key fob works intermittently so yea trash !!!!!
I have 2019 rt 5.7 plenty of fun and great mpg no issues for 78k miles yet just the brakes lol

Amazing! - I love my 2019 GT CHARGER
Absolutely correct about maintenance. Great job!👍
I have 100k on my 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 runs like new car and engine sounds new.
Hey. If I were you, I would make sure you check things like your water pump, fuel pump, coolant and transmission hoses, etc. After 174,000 miles you have problems. I got rid of mine and got a new Honda Civic. So my Charger had a great run but it was sad to let it go.
Failing window actuators is part of the Chrysler experience 😂
🤷♂️🤷♂️🤣
Definitely take it back to the track brotha i wana see how good shes holdin up
That’s pretty good especially when you hear of the problems with the lifter/camshaft some have had .seems to me they shouldn’t be executing such popular cars .Ps I prefer the front facia on your car to the current too busy extra level sprouting from the straight across front bumper
I got 168,000 plus miles on my R/T. Those hemi engines are like bulletproof.
No they’re not lol is it ticking ?
@@terrylee773 Mine doesn't tick, bruh. Quiet driving your car like a bat outta hell and maybe your hemi won't tick.
@@BrendenBaker30 I don’t why sit and assume. It’ll start give it time this is a real issue all jokes aside
@@BrendenBaker30 the motors are pieces of shit I’m being honest
@@terrylee773 Well I don't have any engine problems with my R/T, pimpin.
Got 95k on my 2017 5.7. No accidents. Bought it brand new. Door panels peeled up like a banana in the summer heat.
Wow I just hit 30k miles on my 2017 5.7
tint it
This is awesome man! Congrats! I have 24K on my Daytona 392 (first owner)…got her with 43 miles. Love it brother!
That's great! Take care of it and it will take care of you!
@@johnnygt6039 For sure...100%!
I have a 153k challenger rt 6 speed no issues
9:10 that thing sound like lifted Ford Explorer with missing bushings.
Is your warranty a special warranty? I'm just now looking into just the sxt v6 maybe the awd not sure just as a daily I don't need much power to get around but I've been told alot of bad things and your video helped me they get bet up and abused but if you car for them and don't smash around they should last long. Great video loved watching it
I have a maxcare lifetime warranty. I'm being told they don't sell it anymore but I would look into it! Amazon warranty!
I would add another point: the performance potential and the many owners that don’t do maintenance makes getting a used higher tier Dodge particularly frightening. If I were ever going to get another one I would buy used but insist on all of the service records.🤔
Im at 120k, and just had to replace a head gasket, motor pumps, water pump, timing belt, and replaced the Uconnect system because it was delaminating. I do regular oil changes every 5k, so I’m hoping with all these replacements it can last me another 120k, kind of sucks that it all hit me in a short period of time on my SXT plus and second guessing Dodge, but hopefully all these replacements were worth it, although I’m nervous now lol.
Was it worth it
I traded for a Toyota Camry because I can’t be breaking down when I just recently had a baby so I wanted something newer more reliable.
