I just came in from sandblasting my old Road Runner's lower control arms in preparation for cosmoline dipping... I looked down and, dammit, I have sandals on! lol :(
The SXT Plus is a better car. I have owned them both 12' SXT Plus & 14 R/T 100th anni. The R/T is in the shop for the 5th time. Yes the RT is faster, and has a fast acting transmission. The 8speed auto is a little slow on the trigger when floored. 5 speed auto is nearly instant. That is its ONLY advantage. The SXT has a better ride, less road noise, better gas mileage, and can have every option the RT has except the v8 engine. Save yourself around 4 grand and get the SXT plus. I wish I still had mine. You can see the reviews of my personal chargers on my page.
Oh please! I own a 2013 SXT and I love it. I can add a pro-charger and a tune and be right there going head to head with a r/t when it comes to horse power.
I'm Just Bustin' Your Chops LoL! I recently cashed out on a 2012 Pursuit package W/Hemi so I think I'm the S**t at the moment. LMAO!!! Good luck with the SRT-8!
I have a 2013 Charger SXT Plus V6 and I DO have the Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning. It is available as an option package on either model, as is the rear cross path detection. Great car!
Black grille and spoiler. It looks better when everything's blacked out anyways. Without the spoiler, the charger just doesn't look complete. It looks nekid
I have a 2013 R/T Max - rear wheel drive. A couple of MAJOR things you left out. The rear park assist and the lane change / blind spot warning on the R?T Max. The rear park assist has a row of sensors that alert you when you are getting close to an object. The lane change / blind spot monitor warns you if there is a car in your blind spot when changing lanes. Both of those devices certainly come in handy!
I just finished up a 3 day rental of an all black 2012 charger V6 SE...loved it, wish I couldn't kept it lol ..I was getting constant compliments & looks..got it up to 120mph on a short stretch of highway..
Interviewed an EVOC trainer and they tested the RT and SXT cars. The city PDs really liked the SXT because it pushed way less (Maybe due to weight) through the EVOC courses. The Highway patrol really like the RT version. This is from SoCal. I personally own the 2013 Daytona and love the car. SXT is nothing to be ashamed of.
If you want the sport look on the R/T models , you have 2 choices. First you can get the R/T road & track package which comes with the blacked out grill and better tires and breaks for the track enthusiast. # 2 , if you want All wheel drive you get it with the SPORT package which will come with a blacked out grill , paddle shifters , and black insert , steel face tires that really make the car look very aggressive . There are all different styles available with this car .
Exactly about the spoiler I have a 12 silver SXT + BT without the spoiler but with sunroof, no camera possible either as mine was built when there was a shortage of the 8.4N which was stock, Dodge knocked 1K off the sticker for that, which suits me fine having the smaller screen gives a slot in the dash that fits your wallet. Specs I have seen are 6.6 0-60 for the 3.6 8 speed. Try pulling the shifter like you would a column by memory it works great took some time to get used to it.
Which ever one you choose/own, I really don't see them being around 20 years from now. Unfortunately that can be said about most cars these days. Way too many expensive electronics that when they begin to have issues most owners wont want to put the money into fixing them. I wish they would put the new 3.0L VM-Motori V6 Diesel in the charger. I wouldn't mind having one with that engine and the AWD.
There is a reason the V6 with the 8spd has a 2 into 1 2-1/4" exhaust... drop in a high flow air cleaner, and open the exhaust and you will get to see how fast the 3.6L really is; I haven't even tuned it yet.
The thing with 8 speed is it’s an adjustment I throw mine into w.e effortlessly after having my car for a while so yea of course at first it feels weird
I know you said youwante a R/T Max but you might want to consider the R/T Road&Track. It'll have the powertrain and the look you like right out of the factory. BUT, if money is'nt the issue then anything is possible. If you want the Max you can definitely get the options you desire.
I have a question, I want a RT max RWD and I want to have those exact blacked out wheels and grill. Is it possible that I could get those put on the RT max as an option along with the Sun roof? I pretty much want a black on black RT max.
Not true, I have a Charger SXT Plus AWD Sport, with adaptive cruise control. (the "eye" in the front of the car that you speak of". This feature is not exclusive to the Hemi.
He says you cant turn the tires in the V6? Mine sure will... just press the traction control button. With a couple of mods to the air intake and the exhaust it will sound just like the Hemi as well. Plus get even better gas mileage and 13 extra horses. No where near the extra 5 grand either.
I have Both I just bought a Ram 1500 and without any mods to the exhaust they sound exactly alike. I have the Charger with the Penstar V6 as well both 2013. The truck rides a hell of a lot better. I am looking for a cold air intake here in Utah. So far the only place I can locate em is at a Dodge dealership. I can't see paying double the price. Anyone know where to get them in AirAid or K&N here in Utah?
i recently rented a v6 charger and loved driving it, i was disapionted because i am use to driving a standard and could not spin the tires easily with the automatic, i didn't know about the traction control option, that would have made the experience a little bit better. it still was fast and impressed my dates :)
I found the transmission to very adaptive and the handling balance to be much better on the 3.6 but I have a lot more miles on it. Check the build quality very carefully mine has paint flaws and numerous interior and exterior assembly issues.
Not much of a close comparison, It's kind of like Apples (R/T Max) to Oranges (SXT Plus) It would have been a much closer comparison had it been of the SXT Plus and the R/T Plus
They both look like cop cars too me. When people look at you in these cars its not because youre cool, its because people want to know if their about to pass a state trooper!
noezzi Ion know about your state but in my state a state trooper is usually lit up wit hella decals and a big ass antenna on the back of the trunk. Not a simple plain color. Would’ve been better if you said a cop 🤨
I have been trying to find out can I put 22 inch rims directly on my dodge charger sxt its an older 2010 model rear wheel drive high output 3.5 v6.. I have to admit I am a little scared to do it because when I had my 03 Chevy impala LS front wheel drive 3.8 v6. I ENDED UP HAVING TO GET 2700 BUCKS WORTH OF WORK DONE TO MY TRANNY AND RACK AND PINIOT.Please someone tell me what I would have to do to put my 22 on the charger..My rims are just stacked up and I look them everyday like damn they are pretty but are they worth me screwing up my car..
Thanks for that info I had no idea, because I think my tires a little thinner that are on the rims now.. Someone else told me that as well something about the charger being a heavier car than the impala..
Oscar Moore just make sure you use the correct tire size mentioned above to keep your wheel diameter the same as stock. Also really heavy rims can have negative effects on a car as well so if they are made of aluminum then you'll be fine but if they are cast steel chrome wheels then that might add stress to your entire drive system causing both lose of acceleration, mpg and more wear and tear to your bushings. Coming from someone that did the same mistake. You live you learn :P
Also, the sound of the car is different. That v6 doesn't sound like the 5.7 at all. So despite 19" vs 20" wheels, also, don't cross over your legs, too feminine. lol
lol I just gave you the link to go look at my car and yet you whine and nag claiming im lying about a sedan ive owned for 2 yrs already. lol notice the only person crying wolf is a broke kid whos never even owned a license let alone drive one :)
LMAO, right? I drive a '12 Yellow Jacket and I can't take anyone wearing sandals seriously, especially not talking about cars. Oh, I also had an '07 SRT8 Charger before I got my Yellow Jacket, and I had to rent a sxt challenger in Philly, that v6 is like a box of kittens. It's CRAZY docile. lame.
Ik it’s a old comment but mine stock 2011 rt fully loaded I dynoed my car at whp stock it’s making 364 which means the motor really pushing 415 ish They under sold the hp for insurance reasons look around a lot of them r making this power stock
I don't listen to any car guy with flip flops
Lmfao!
🤣
I just came in from sandblasting my old Road Runner's lower control arms in preparation for cosmoline dipping... I looked down and, dammit, I have sandals on! lol :(
He knows damn well he wants the sunroof.
Facts
I personally love chargers with the spoilers, in my opinion it isn't complete with out.
I second that
I second that
I third that
It looks like its missing something or like its 'naked without the spoiler
I fourth that
The SXT Plus is a better car. I have owned them both 12' SXT Plus & 14 R/T 100th anni. The R/T is in the shop for the 5th time. Yes the RT is faster, and has a fast acting transmission.

Yea if ur a chick ....solid mustang ...lmao
Oh please! I own a 2013 SXT and I love it. I can add a pro-charger and a tune and be right there going head to head with a r/t when it comes to horse power.
But you wont have a Hemi...
True but still no hemi and no B.A.L.L.S...
I'm Just Bustin' Your Chops LoL! I recently cashed out on a 2012 Pursuit package W/Hemi so I think I'm the S**t at the moment. LMAO!!! Good luck with the SRT-8!
They dont even make a pro charger for the v6.
marvin greene why you would want too,
Having a 2011 Rallye version I agree with you about the shifter in 2013. They never should have gone to the T shaped one.
He is touching and looking at my fucking dream cars. Gonna buy one sometime this year. New year, New goals bitches!!
Black Onyx when you get one don't get a V6 only R/T or higher
same. i got lucky and got a job at a rental car company. i get to drive a lot of brand new chargers its amazing
V8 or V6 they are both monsters period! The V8 only has 70 more horses than the V6 . Can't go wrong either way classic car American muscle
I have a 2013 Charger SXT Plus V6 and I DO have the Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning. It is available as an option package on either model, as is the rear cross path detection. Great car!
zrandy what gas you put in it 87,89,93
Why does the sxt look better than the r/t
KO8E2408 Ikr
Black grill
I think the chrome looks better lol
Black grille and spoiler. It looks better when everything's blacked out anyways. Without the spoiler, the charger just doesn't look complete. It looks nekid

No SRT comes with AWD.
I have the 2013 SXT Plus and I love this car. Not V8 but powerful enough. And looks great - mine is all black.
I just finished up a 3 day rental of an all black 2012 charger V6 SE...loved it, wish I couldn't kept it lol ..I was getting constant compliments & looks..got it up to 120mph on a short stretch of highway..
Piffydaily Man, wish you could leave it for yourself forever!!!
Andrey K Ha,, thank man...
Why did you rent it ? Just for fun ??
mikexcanxjerk I just needed a vehicle to get around, I had so many charges since then, but I'm in love with the Chrysler 300 now lol
That's a bunch of crap, my stock 2012 SE V6 can squeal its tires/peel out no problem on dry pavement whenever I want it to.
Interviewed an EVOC trainer and they tested the RT and SXT cars. The city PDs really liked the SXT because it pushed way less (Maybe due to weight) through the EVOC courses.

Flip flops and 300+ horsepower do not go well
😆
Used to ride my 160 hp 2007 suzuki gsxr 1000 with flip flops. No 1 ever accused me of being smart ! 😂
Best review i've seen in 10 years
Adaptive Cruise Control is also available for the SXT Plus 2014 now.
leoj227, you are correct, those features are on the R/T Max and the SXT Plus. Good features.
If you want the sport look on the R/T models , you have 2 choices. First you can get the R/T road & track package which comes with the blacked out grill and better tires and breaks for the track enthusiast. # 2 , if you want All wheel drive you get it with the SPORT package which will come with a blacked out grill , paddle shifters , and black insert , steel face tires that really make the car look very aggressive . There are all different styles available with this car .
Steven, the V6 SXT with the Black rims is the Granite Crystal Metallic Clear Coat.
Exactly about the spoiler I have a 12 silver SXT + BT without the spoiler but with sunroof, no camera possible either as mine was built when there was a shortage of the 8.4N which was stock, Dodge knocked 1K off the sticker for that, which suits me fine having the smaller screen gives a slot in the dash that fits your wallet.

Plus the v6 is a v6 hemi, it just doesn’t have a badge
You probably can put bigger rims on...but the Chrysler says that it is equipped with the optimal size.
2012 Dodge Charger R/T came with those chrome 20s well atleast my brothers did
All model can come with AWD? Where can I get an SRT in AWD?
There is a reason the V6 with the 8spd has a 2 into 1 2-1/4" exhaust... drop in a high flow air cleaner, and open the exhaust and you will get to see how fast the 3.6L really is; I haven't even tuned it yet.
Guys has flip flops on, car talk credibility @ 0%
you cant put bigger rims on the awd model? or thats just want it comes with and you can change it later?
The thing with 8 speed is it’s an adjustment I throw mine into w.e effortlessly after having my car for a while so yea of course at first it feels weird
I know you said youwante a R/T Max but you might want to consider the R/T Road&Track. It'll have the powertrain and the look you like right out of the factory. BUT, if money is'nt the issue then anything is possible. If you want the Max you can definitely get the options you desire.
Would you go for a 2014 Charger R/T [Max] AWD, 5 speed or a 2017 Charger SXT Plus AWD, 8 speed?
I have a question, I want a RT max RWD and I want to have those exact blacked out wheels and grill. Is it possible that I could get those put on the RT max as an option along with the Sun roof? I pretty much want a black on black RT max.
Not true, I have a Charger SXT Plus AWD Sport, with adaptive cruise control. (the "eye" in the front of the car that you speak of". This feature is not exclusive to the Hemi.
Paul Anderson what gas you put in it 87,89,93
93 - But I had the car tuned to take advantage of that. Otherwise, follow the manual.
because when you stand next to a cool car, anything you wear or no matter what you look like, the car makes you cool.
He says you cant turn the tires in the V6? Mine sure will... just press the traction control button. With a couple of mods to the air intake and the exhaust it will sound just like the Hemi as well. Plus get even better gas mileage and 13 extra horses. No where near the extra 5 grand either.
LOL, no V6 will sound "just like" the Hemi.
anx1300c I agree..I have a 2012 RT with flows.....no v6 is ever gonna sound like a HEMI
I have Both I just bought a Ram 1500 and without any mods to the exhaust they sound exactly alike. I have the Charger with the Penstar V6 as well both 2013. The truck rides a hell of a lot better. I am looking for a cold air intake here in Utah. So far the only place I can locate em is at a Dodge dealership. I can't see paying double the price. Anyone know where to get them in AirAid or K&N here in Utah?
Robert Davis should have got the HEMI in that charger.....autoanything.com....lowest prices you can find
i recently rented a v6 charger and loved driving it, i was disapionted because i am use to driving a standard and could not spin the tires easily with the automatic, i didn't know about the traction control option, that would have made the experience a little bit better. it still was fast and impressed my dates :)
Not true again, not all AWD Chargers have to have those wheels. The AWD Sport comes with nicer wheels (or different, depending on your preference).
I found the transmission to very adaptive and the handling balance to be much better on the 3.6 but I have a lot more miles on it. Check the build quality very carefully mine has paint flaws and numerous interior and exterior assembly issues.
The v6 looks way better without that ugly chrome!
I actually agree with that, and it is a pretty damn cool car.
Dude is wrong I have the sxt black top edition and mine has the fcw/adaptive cruise control
Black one looks like an undercover cop car and I agree I dislike the spoiler on the Chargers.
I have 300c SRT8 6.1
Do you still have it today? How was it throughout the years
Not much of a close comparison, It's kind of like Apples (R/T Max) to Oranges (SXT Plus) It would have been a much closer comparison had it been of the SXT Plus and the R/T Plus
How to you go to sport mode? I got the 2013 sxt
What color is the one with the black rims?
They both look like cop cars too me. When people look at you in these cars its not because youre cool, its because people want to know if their about to pass a state trooper!
Maybe where you live
semahj lamons yah
thats the point
noezzi Ion know about your state but in my state a state trooper is usually lit up wit hella decals and a big ass antenna on the back of the trunk. Not a simple plain color. Would’ve been better if you said a cop 🤨

You need some 265/35/22 tires, and they'll bolt right on. Make sure your wheels are low offset.
Thanks for that info I had no idea, because I think my tires a little thinner that are on the rims now.. Someone else told me that as well something about the charger being a heavier car than the impala..
Oscar Moore just make sure you use the correct tire size mentioned above to keep your wheel diameter the same as stock.

yeah they are the chrome heavy rims!!! So that's a no go for me I think im going to sell them or keep them for I get my pick up truck next year.
Can you get an R/T with a sunroof
Bruh you can get the blacktop on the rt and the spoiler and stuff
I've got Chrome, Factory 20's on my RT MAX :)
I got 22s
Cool Story Bro
Dude dont wear shorts anymore!
whats wrong with the tail lights? that is based from the original 1969 model
The intro needs some serious update frr
I got an srt8 bitches!!!!!!!! no i dont... Lol
I average 20 mpg with 80% interstate 20% city. Yes she's got a HDMI. I cruise around 80mph and on 87 oct.
my dream car
I can't take anyone who speaks in that tone seriously haha..
Would enjoy an RT vs srt8 vid
I'm mad they made the blacktop look better than the rt
Robert Smith suffer
V8 charger Rocks !!!
I have your same car. Except it's in black pearl with a spoiler and sun roof. But anyway...
Why is a guy in flip flops reviewing a charger?
srt does not have awd
I have the sxt plus and I don't have any of those features
Where r the blacktops
not 2 mention the front
Hemi!
nothing like a 68
The 18mpg in the city is bullshit, mine only gets 14mpg. The highway though which is 27mpg is true.
Well, the are different...and I guess this fruit loop has good taste since we have the R/T AWD Max. Maybe we should work on our lisp?
I like it
"the only way to tell the difference is the wheels"......................
They are dodge but they are different
Why are your knees red, been going to too many bubble parties?
both are good cars n fast but the srt-8 is the best
Juan Evans Hellcat shits on the srt8 lmfao
I kno but still if u had the srt-8 u will say it's fast...
F it dude, might as well went all out bare foot 🤷♂️😅
Fuck that, you get a charger get a hemi and stop making excuses for having a v6 =
13:09 Gay ass sandals bro...
most of this info is common sense
сколько стойт
Really?! Fucking flip flops?! That makes you look unprofessional
Chevy ss rocks
why are you flip flops?
He so gay lmaoooo
Also, the sound of the car is different. That v6 doesn't sound like the 5.7 at all. So despite 19" vs 20" wheels, also, don't cross over your legs, too feminine. lol
Lmao who have you the idea to compare a vs with a v6... Try comparing basic v6 to sxt v6 or v8 vs srt lmao.
So rwd
It looks so ugly with no spoiler
lol I just gave you the link to go look at my car and yet you whine and nag claiming im lying about a sedan ive owned for 2 yrs already. lol notice the only person crying wolf is a broke kid whos never even owned a license let alone drive one :)
LMAO, right? I drive a '12 Yellow Jacket and I can't take anyone wearing sandals seriously, especially not talking about cars. Oh, I also had an '07 SRT8 Charger before I got my Yellow Jacket, and I had to rent a sxt challenger in Philly, that v6 is like a box of kittens. It's CRAZY docile. lame.
70 horse isnt that much of a diffrence
70hp isn't worth the money for alot of people
+Ali Jason you are right there is no way I am going with a V6 charger
Ik it’s a old comment but mine stock 2011 rt fully loaded I dynoed my car at whp stock it’s making 364 which means the motor really pushing 415 ish They under sold the hp for insurance reasons look around a lot of them r making this power stock
But the torque is. Besides that's what gets you movin
Glad I own a 300S, these are both jokes.
ive had both and the v6 sucks. Night and day difference. Could this guy look and sound more like a fruit loop?
PROTIP: Write a script.
why does it matter?
i like it
