I owned the following: All RT models. 2007 silver 2009 silver 2010 silver 2011 Black 2012 billet gray 2013 billet gray 2014 billet gray I put 60K on each vehicle, drove a lot for my job. NEVER let me down!! Always used premium gas, always used Mobile 1 and I would get 21mpg city and 29mpg highway, no mpg when beating on the engine. The most versatile sedan and best value vehicle on the road. My 14 was my favorite Billett Gray. The only problem with the RT model after 2014 the price was too rich for my blood. God Bless
The regular versions already have an aggressive look. The SRT version has this "I won't think twice about running you over" look to the front end. Love it!
@@AK.__ I done my research the mustang is more reliable & has a bigger support group for this year & saves my gas but idk I'm leaning towards the dodge charger for sum reason
Have a 2014 RWD RT Max. Bought it in Jan with 69K on it. 8 grand later, full bolt ons, 426 whp. I now have a RT that gets RT gas milage and insurance rates, but can run with the 392's and Skat Paks. Have a total of 24K in it now, with 82K on the odometer. Daily driver, hemi orange, every option available, including both quick order packages. I also replaced the lifters when I upgraded my cam. Absolutely love this car, 392's can't believe it, when I keep up with them or beat them!
I have a 2014 R/T AWD MAX.. LOVE it, never gives me any issues. I bought it a yr old, so it's been mine for 6yrs..and I drive it like I stole it!! Upgraded brakes, lights(in&out) and might do a 93 octane tune soon. Plows through snow with ease, even on old tires! Just wish for the 8 speed trans.. But I love this car!
One of the things that I liked about this gen of Charger is that with it's front end styling, the car looked permanently angry. One problem not mentioned is the trunk release button collecting grime and making the trunk pop up at odd times. I found that out with the 2013 SXT AWD model I once had. Using the edge of a business card, to clean around the inside of the button housing helped.
Today my mom bought a 2014 Charger 3.6...really nice car and we got a great deal on it. Super well maintained, came with all the service records so even though it has 114k miles its a 1 owner and you can tell the original owner took care of it
@@rampage3379 honestly not really if you take good care of it , it’s pretty reliable. But nah parts Aren’t expensive I have one and it has over 143k miles on it , I still haven’t gotten a bad repair just breaks and rotors .
lol it's hilarious to drive in the snow especially with the amazing traction control. You can literally drive on slippery/slushy roads and take an insanely sharp turn and drift for a few seconds for fun and the car just automatically reduces speed to the rear wheels in order to help you perfectly drift and straighten right out and correct itself. It's insane how well this works without fail every single time. It never lets you spin your tires out or lose control unless you purposefully turn the traction control off to do some donuts and drifting figure 8's in a parking lot hahah
I have the 2012 SXT AWD and can confirm up here in Canada it is a beast in the snow! Not as good as a say Subaru SUV though because it lacks the ground clearance. Its a really great vehicle year round though. I love the remote start/remote trunk opener/8.4 inch screen/8 speed transmission/292HP/nappa leather seats/heated c/colled cup holders etc... I did just have to replace the Oil housing unit witch apparently usually go around 170,000km witch mine has, but overall such a great vehicle.
We have a '14 SXT bought new. We waited till the 15's came out and didnt like the styling, so it was a new leftover. Opted for the blacktop package, which brought the hp to 305. It gets 31 mpg on the hwy. Love the car, we pretty much only use it for traveling as it is comfortable. Only has 17k miles on it. The only problem we had, was the transmission had to be reprogramed 3 times.
Hey I have the same style blacktop edition aswell. I bought it as a family car, Besides the transmission reprogramming how would you say your satisfaction with it is? Also how long have you had it.
@@SincerelyMartin Bought it new in November 2014. We have been very happy with it, no other problems, but only have around 17k miles on it. Hoping with Covid letting up, we will be able to take it out for some trips this year. How are you enjoying yours?
I just traded in my AWD 2010 SXT Charger for a 2014 AWD RT model, so far I’m loving it, love both but 2011-14 is the coolest design and the inside is a bigger upgrade overall
My wife loves her 2013 Charger SRT only 80k miles on it so far. We are both Hemi fans. The only problem she has had so far is the cruise control only works when it wants to and it has started to display a few of the dreaded rust spots towards the back wheel well. But it sure does pick up and go!
I agree i have had a 2012 sxt rallye addition and now own a 2012 charger srt8, amazing machine. but yeah the sxt was originally a rental car before purchase. so messed up buttons was a risk. but my beloved srt8 sometime requires the buttons to be mashed to work. still love it tho only 31k on it.
The biggest injustice here is how can Dodge produce the crappy 06-10 models for 5 years and produce this a year less? The newer one even got 7 years and counting. Smh.
I just got a 2012 rt awd plus with 95k for 14k this February. The plus model has a huge amount of options including heated front/ rear seats, steering wheel and mirrors. Remote start, air cooled front seats, back up, blind spot, adaptive cruise, heated and chilled cup holders and rain sensing wipers. And more. You’ll be hard pressed to find a 9 year old car with similar options for the price. My only repairs were tires (knew they were bad) and the awd solenoids went costing about 850 bucks. But it’s a beast in the snow. I love the styling of this model with the hood and front end. I had a toxic orange challenger and wanted the charger, but couldn’t find one. So I ended up with blackberry pearl. The car wizard did a video of a repair on a 12 hemi with almost 200k on it and it looked great still and the repairs were minimal. I say if your thinking of one of these models, bows the time to grab one befor pe they are too expensive or too high mileage.
thank you for this video fine sir. I watched this video a year ago and purchased a 2014 dodge charger RT max. after having it for a year I'm so glad I chose 11-14 charger over the older or newer ones. ✅
I have the 2013 Charger SXT PLUS in Black which came fully loaded with all the best features, leather seats, rearview camera, satellite radio, motorized sunroof, remote start, huge touch screen, 18" aluminum wheels, heated front and back seats, heated/cooled cup holders with LEDs for hot and cold, and it's crazy how it has every single feature modern cars and features they DON'T have. Only thing I'm missing is Apple CarPlay which you can add with some aftermarket stuff but I like to keep the radio stock. Even the remote start, heated front/back seats, and heated/cooled cupholders are not features in my wife's brand new 2022 Audi Q7 which cost double the amount. Remote start especially is really important during the winters here since I can have the car heat up in below 0 degree weather instead of having to freeze my butt off waiting for it to heat up or run out in the cold and start it up and run back in and wait. My car still has under 40,000 miles despite being a 2013 as I kept it in a garage for a few years since I was working from home. It still looks brand new. Nobody believes it's a 2013 and thinks it's like a 2017-2018 model because it's so clean and even then then just are amazed at the low mileage. I've started driving it a lot more the last 2 years and the only issues that I've come across the entire life of the car is my front suspension ball joint going out just a few months ago after hitting a really bad pot hole which I replaced myself and was easy since it was the front lower left ball joint and the 2013 suspension has a 4 part suspension so you don't have to replace the whole thing. The other issue I've been having is that the fuel pump might be slightly clogged or maybe it's the fuel injector, but sometimes the car won't start up right away on the first push of the start button. But it starts right up every time using the remote start.... or if I push to start, instantly turn it off after the engine cranks 1-2 times and then starting again and it will fire right up the second try without fail for the past year. I just haven't had the patience to check and replace the fuel pump since it can be messy and it's under the rear seat. The car is still FAST with 300hp and 8-speed automatic transmission is smooth. It accelerates from a hard stop very quickly for being a large sedan and it's SO fun on wet roads because it has such good traction control that reduces power to the wheels when it senses you are sliding. I LOVE driving when the roads are kind of slushy and slippery because I can literally take a sharp turn and have a fun few seconds of drifting and the car will automatically correct itself and straighten out after the short drift. It's kind of fun and it stops you from totally spinning out your tires and losing control. It's VERY well programmed and implemented and never fails. My ONLY major issue is I got the RWD model and the winters can get pretty bad here, so if I'm parked at the curb and the snow builds up, it easily gets stuck in the snow because the rear tires spin SO FAST they don't have time to grip the road. The AWD model would probably make getting out of a spot easier. But I've learned to just carry these portable steel traction bars that you can unfold and toss under the rear wheels to easily grip and get out from a snow bank. LOVE this charger and it look WAY cooler and meaner than the newer re-designed Chargers. I honestly am contemplating just keeping this car until it fully dies, or selling it before the value gets too low and buying a new Challenger since I don't really need a 4 door car anymore. Kids are grown. Either that or a Dodge Hellcat would be so nice.... I've also thought about just switching to electric and going with Tesla to save on gas since there are so many electric chargers in Montreal and we even have designating parking spaces reserved for electric vehicles only so you can charge while you go shopping.
My favorite years they should have did it one more year I love the from style I have a 2015 and if I can put the 2015 rear tail lights on the 2011-2014 rear tail lights would be beautiful all the way around
I like both rear tail lights but prefer the 2011-14 rear tail lights more. The newer one even though it looks good, makes me think of the Dart since the Dart had the newer design tail light first
... you forgot The v6 Flex Fuel. I have it i mean its not much different from the normal 3.6l pentastar engine but you will have to by different fuel filters, brakes, ect because its semi different
(Today Sept 22, 2022) - In 2018 I bought a beautiful black 2014 Charger R/T 5.7L Hemi AWD. It has this very nice 500 watts Beats by Dr Dre stereo system in it. It barely had 30,000 miles on it at the time I got it. The 22" rims on it seems to be hard to find any where. I did not even see them in tis video. They are chrome 5 spoke "star" style with Dodge embossed on the center caps. I did a few minor upgrades to it. Installed a SRT8 hood Painted original 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner yellow "C" style stripes on the sides, painted the hood and spoiler as well. Other than that I installed Mopar cold air intake (ther main reason I installed the hood) Also installed Scat Pack exhaust. That is it. I am at this point thinking about installing oil cooler as well. All in all, it gets it's annual Ziebart detailing and underspray, then I cover it and park it in it's own garage for the winter. At this point I just reached 40,000 mile on the car. The car has been perfect with no issues or problems
I got my 2014 Charger SRT 6.4 for 22kusd with less than 35k miles …. What an absolute bargain . The power is nothing short of spectacular…. I had to change the steering pump , the front suspension kits (sheer weight of the car) but still worth every penny.. I get decent mileage too because of the MDS system
Absolutely amazing looking and great family car. Without mentioning that starting from R/Ts this is a muscle car. For someone, who just want a Charger from this generation, and not much care about having Hemi or Pentastar, or have limited budget - the SXT Plus will be great choice, and with little bit money - just get plain R/T, and you will like it.
@@limbogt747 Well, it depends on the specific cars. The 2014 aren't new and need to consider everything. If you're more into mods - probably Mustang, but Chargers / Challengers are full size cars, absolutely great looking and serve perfect as daily drivers.
I have a 2014 SRT8 in Dark Granite metallic. Love the car the front looks sinister,got mine without the Adaptive Cruise Control so it doesn’t have that 👁 on the lower front grill. Only has 26K miles. It’s actually gone up in value compared to one year ago according to KBB.
@@MarspeedCars thank you sir. It’s all stock except for oil catch can and Corsa Extreme cat back system. My only complaint is the transmission. The new 8 speed is much better imo.
I have the ‘14 100th anniversary edition R/T, absolutely love it. Only thing I don’t like is the gear ratios/it being a 5 speed and the open differential. I’ll change that myself someday though
I've got that one too and i love it! I just turned 30k miles and since it lives in my garage; it still looks brand new. Every time i take it to the dealer to get my free oil change, they try to buy it back from me; but no, i ain't selling it.
Amazing video like always! Personally, I just like the older charger style more; around the 2008 RT model year like mine. Although I just got my charger when it’s time to get another one I’ll be looking at SRT 8’s
You’re forgetting a package for the 2014s it’s some 100th anniversary year for dodge, there’s a package that year for it it’s just appearance but still worth mentioning
@@ii_dynasty yeah but in the end of the day most people buy these cars for the engine and performance… but the newer chargers do look absolutely beautiful
Mine has that ticking. I know its a rocker arm that needs to be fixed and likely the cam. Its recently started to misfire so I should hopefully be able to take care of that soon
I have a 2012 sxt and a 2021 scatpack widebody. I love my 6.4, but the little v6 is so darty and fun to drive. Also gets 24 mpg and that’s better than 11 in my 392 lol
Ah yes, this one deserve more live, a have a 2012 SRT8 and live in Brazil, can't go max speed most of the time and the gas is very expensive so it's not for everyone, it's kinda of a high class luxury car, but if you can afford it and know how to take care of it it's very good and cool daily drive.
I loved this charger bodystyle sense I was little and I still do Gucci mane had one as a wide body and sold it I want this bodystyle charger in my collection but I love the new look chargers
It all depends if u get a dodge from jamal who did donuts 7 days a week and jumped every train track jump he could find, and buying it from washington police where it was driven for only a few years lightly inner city by cops and maintained by the government monthly its entire lifespan, it never even saw the highway, thats what i got, with only 100k city miles no crashes for 10k flat, thing has 18.5 inch rotors, this is the most reliable vehicle on the streets. 2014 5.7 charger pursuit in black. Lets go. Edit: i also beat absolutely everything on the road in a race within 30 miles of where i live, once a year ill end up next to a supercar or even scatpack, amazing car for real
Another issue to mention is the upholstery becoming unglued on the door panels and trim making the car look ugly af. I experienced this issue on my 15 300.
Yeah I was going to touch on that but video ended up being longer than I thought. But I’ve seen so many pictures of those panels coming unglued on the Facebook groups its nuts. Definitely a more widespread issue
I bought my 2014 R/T 3 years ago for $22,000 out the door and I love it! (Paid off last year too) Added front and rear strut bars for stability, and I don't really need to do any mods, other than an oil catch can I added from Billet Industries. Moving to Texas from CA next month, and looking forward to that trip.
@@joeybagofdonuts23 I would go for it. Just make absolutely sure it's been taken fully care of. Make sure the suspension arms don't make noise, the fluids have been changed regularly, (especially the oil) and make sure the Transmission shifts smoothly with no clunking. If your not sure, have a mechanic check it out first. If buying from a dealer, make sure it has a good reputation.
I know this is random bc this is about seventh gen chargers, but I feel like if they added the Viper V10 engine to another vehicle, it would be legendary!
I’m looking at a 2013. R/T. AWD 5.7. It has 175k on it. I’m nervous because I wanted to buy it and keep my Jeep. BUT MY WIFE says I can only have 1. My Jeep only has 75k. But it’s a 4 cylinder. Any advice out there. I don’t want this thing to take a dump on me. Thanks
This is my favorite looking Charger
Heck yeah
Im glad i own one!!
@@jlaw430 so do I😏

I wish they gave the V8 an 8speed with this body. That would be perfect. I guess the 5-speed does give it an Old school feel
I prefer the look of this charger over the new one. I think it looks amazing
Agreed I have a 2014 because it’s the last year of the better looking ones
agree especially the SRT8 variant. looks gorgeous as hell
Yeah it’s just so aggressive and mean looking!
The new one looks too similar to Fiat Tipo from the front.
@ no it looks nothing like a fiat at all, it’s just way to curvy for a muscle car

still can put them in the new chargers with a little wiring.

But it starts right up every time using the remote start.... or if I push to start, instantly turn it off after the engine cranks 1-2 times and then starting again and it will fire right up the second try without fail for the past year. I just haven't had the patience to check and replace the fuel pump since it can be messy and it's under the rear seat.
The car is still FAST with 300hp and 8-speed automatic transmission is smooth. It accelerates from a hard stop very quickly for being a large sedan and it's SO fun on wet roads because it has such good traction control that reduces power to the wheels when it senses you are sliding. I LOVE driving when the roads are kind of slushy and slippery because I can literally take a sharp turn and have a fun few seconds of drifting and the car will automatically correct itself and straighten out after the short drift. It's kind of fun and it stops you from totally spinning out your tires and losing control. It's VERY well programmed and implemented and never fails.
My ONLY major issue is I got the RWD model and the winters can get pretty bad here, so if I'm parked at the curb and the snow builds up, it easily gets stuck in the snow because the rear tires spin SO FAST they don't have time to grip the road. The AWD model would probably make getting out of a spot easier. But I've learned to just carry these portable steel traction bars that you can unfold and toss under the rear wheels to easily grip and get out from a snow bank.
LOVE this charger and it look WAY cooler and meaner than the newer re-designed Chargers. I honestly am contemplating just keeping this car until it fully dies, or selling it before the value gets too low and buying a new Challenger since I don't really need a 4 door car anymore. Kids are grown. Either that or a Dodge Hellcat would be so nice.... I've also thought about just switching to electric and going with Tesla to save on gas since there are so many electric chargers in Montreal and we even have designating parking spaces reserved for electric vehicles only so you can charge while you go shopping.
Just bought a 2014. Loving it
I love my 2014 SXT.... this body style is the best!
Dodge should kept making the charger with that design
My favorite years they should have did it one more year I love the from style I have a 2015 and if I can put the 2015 rear tail lights on the 2011-2014 rear tail lights would be beautiful all the way around
Agreed the newer tail lights are just a bit better but can’t go wrong with the front end on the 11-14
I like both rear tail lights but prefer the 2011-14 rear tail lights more. The newer one even though it looks good, makes me think of the Dart since the Dart had the newer design tail light first
Absolutely love my 2013 charger srt8!
I got a 2012 Charger SXT 3.6L... I gotta say, I can't beat anyone off the line but I'm impressed with the reliability compared to other trims.
I’m looking at a 2012 SXT Plus right now. Should I get it?
... you forgot The v6 Flex Fuel. I have it i mean its not much different from the normal 3.6l pentastar engine but you will have to by different fuel filters, brakes, ect because its semi different
Absolutely. My 2013 Daytona is amazing
If the Daytona had SRT8 engine that would of been an amazing combo
It woulda been cool but Dodge always reserved SRT8 for the Super Bee and Daytona for the 5.7 ever since 2006, so
Guess they kept it up haha
Well they have the Daytona 392 now
i just picked up a 2013 R/T max last week car is an absolute unit
(Today Sept 22, 2022) - In 2018 I bought a beautiful black 2014 Charger R/T 5.7L Hemi AWD. It has this very nice 500 watts Beats by Dr Dre stereo system in it. It barely had 30,000 miles on it at the time I got it.
The 22" rims on it seems to be hard to find any where. I did not even see them in tis video. They are chrome 5 spoke "star" style with Dodge embossed on the center caps.
I did a few minor upgrades to it. Installed a SRT8 hood Painted original 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner yellow "C" style stripes on the sides, painted the hood and spoiler as well. Other than that I installed Mopar cold air intake (ther main reason I installed the hood) Also installed Scat Pack exhaust. That is it. I am at this point thinking about installing oil cooler as well.
All in all, it gets it's annual Ziebart detailing and underspray, then I cover it and park it in it's own garage for the winter. At this point I just reached 40,000 mile on the car. The car has been perfect with no issues or problems
2014 R/T Hemi orange with the beats. Love it.
I got my 2014 Charger SRT 6.4 for 22kusd with less than 35k miles …. What an absolute bargain . The power is nothing short of spectacular…. I had to change the steering pump , the front suspension kits (sheer weight of the car) but still worth every penny.. I get decent mileage too because of the MDS system
That's a great deal.
And this is the best looking body style more aggressive look and better body lines with the squared off taillights love it
Absolutely amazing looking and great family car. Without mentioning that starting from R/Ts this is a muscle car. For someone, who just want a Charger from this generation, and not much care about having Hemi or Pentastar, or have limited budget - the SXT Plus will be great choice, and with little bit money - just get plain R/T, and you will like it.
I've had the 2014 sxt for about 6 months and I absolutely love it
I'm thinking between this or the 2014 mustang
@@limbogt747 Well, it depends on the specific cars. The 2014 aren't new and need to consider everything. If you're more into mods - probably Mustang, but Chargers / Challengers are full size cars, absolutely great looking and serve perfect as daily drivers.
@@AK.__ ik I'm just debating
@A K cause sometimes I have a few people & with the mustang I can't really have anyone besides the passenger
I have a 2014 SRT8 in Dark Granite metallic. Love the car the front looks sinister,got mine without the Adaptive Cruise Control so it doesn’t have that 👁 on the lower front grill. Only has 26K miles. It’s actually gone up in value compared to one year ago according to KBB.
Amazing car you have! The used values seem to be skyrocketing as the pandemic progresses
@@MarspeedCars thank you sir. It’s all stock except for oil catch can and Corsa Extreme cat back system. My only complaint is the transmission. The new 8 speed is much better imo.
@@mrp9498 That’s a nice ass car how much did you pay
This srt8 is absolutely beautiful. Better than the new ones
I have the ‘14 100th anniversary edition R/T, absolutely love it. Only thing I don’t like is the gear ratios/it being a 5 speed and the open differential. I’ll change that myself someday though
The open diff is a good thing unless you're driving with the stability control fully off.
I've got that one too and i love it! I just turned 30k miles and since it lives in my garage; it still looks brand new. Every time i take it to the dealer to get my free oil change, they try to buy it back from me; but no, i ain't selling it.
Amazing video like always!
Personally, I just like the older charger style more; around the 2008 RT model year like mine. Although I just got my charger when it’s time to get another one I’ll be looking at SRT 8’s
Me too I LOVE the 06-10s they just look so good to me can’t explain why haha
Downright my favorite, thank you for all know explanation, my dream srt8, here Belgium it runs at 30000 euros in occasion
I'm looking very hard at 2011-14 srt. I've paid off my 07 300c now I'm really wanting a 6.4 car.
You’re forgetting a package for the 2014s it’s some 100th anniversary year for dodge, there’s a package that year for it it’s just appearance but still worth mentioning
We have a 2012 Charger, bought new, with the Six and a lifetime warranty.
Getting a 2013 se today. Very excited for it
joining the dodge brotherhood with a SRT 2012 😎,and later 2020 GT 😎.....imma keep working hard to make this wishes come true...thanks for the video
That’s great! But what makes you want to move from a V8 to a V6?
@@oklol9 probably because the current chargers look better.
@@ii_dynasty yeah but in the end of the day most people buy these cars for the engine and performance… but the newer chargers do look absolutely beautiful
@@oklol9 most people also buy them for the clout they come with because it's a trend.
@@ii_dynasty yea also true
I have a 14’ plum crazy RT that I love
Mine has that ticking. I know its a rocker arm that needs to be fixed and likely the cam. Its recently started to misfire so I should hopefully be able to take care of that soon
I'll be picking my 2012 up in the next two weeks! I can't wait!
I've got a 2012 sxt plus awd, really great vehicle!
Congrats! I’m excited for you
@@MarspeedCars I’m very excited to see your Daytona build.
I had a 2011 rt with the super track pack and I averaged over 32 mpg on the highway with cruise set at 75
2014 black top Edition R/T just got it a couple of months ago
2013 also offered a sxt ralleye edition. With the boost to 299hp I believe. Basically blacktop package but swapped for chrome.
Got mine $4,500, needs some work but worth it🤝🏽
Pleasseeeee do a guide 2011-2013 Dodge Durango. I was going back and fourth between the charger and Durango
my fave is the 2014 srt-8 in red with the black grill... nice
I really want a 2012 Charger SXT Plus but it’s out of my price range right now
I was gonna get a 392 super bee but it was to expensive for me at the time and it didn't come in a manual like the challenger
I have a 2011 Charger it’s toxic orange 🍊 just a beautiful color. It’s an SE & I also have an 08 SRT8 in silver 💪
if u do, get last year production model.
safer that way
This just made me keep mines to bad when I bought mines 2011 the srt wasn’t out yet ..fast forward new engine 400+wheel
I’m looking for a 2014 White SRT8 ! 😌
Been on the fence about trading my Toyota Tacoma TRD sport 2016 on an 11 r/t AWD
I have a 2012 sxt and a 2021 scatpack widebody. I love my 6.4, but the little v6 is so darty and fun to drive. Also gets 24 mpg and that’s better than 11 in my 392 lol
24mpg on city or freeway?
Ah yes, this one deserve more live, a have a 2012 SRT8 and live in Brazil, can't go max speed most of the time and the gas is very expensive so it's not for everyone, it's kinda of a high class luxury car, but if you can afford it and know how to take care of it it's very good and cool daily drive.
Really nice report
I loved this charger bodystyle sense I was little and I still do Gucci mane had one as a wide body and sold it I want this bodystyle charger in my collection but I love the new look chargers
It all depends if u get a dodge from jamal who did donuts 7 days a week and jumped every train track jump he could find, and buying it from washington police where it was driven for only a few years lightly inner city by cops and maintained by the government monthly its entire lifespan, it never even saw the highway, thats what i got, with only 100k city miles no crashes for 10k flat, thing has 18.5 inch rotors, this is the most reliable vehicle on the streets. 2014 5.7 charger pursuit in black. Lets go.
Edit: i also beat absolutely everything on the road in a race within 30 miles of where i live, once a year ill end up next to a supercar or even scatpack, amazing car for real
So don't buy it from Jamal buy it from the pedo who uses his charger to transport underage boys then sleeps with his own dog at night
You do know 2011-2021 is the same generation? 2015 they did a mid-cycle refresh
Is a 2014 srt challenger manual a good car to learn on or should I get something else first
Another issue to mention is the upholstery becoming unglued on the door panels and trim making the car look ugly af. I experienced this issue on my 15 300.
Yeah I was going to touch on that but video ended up being longer than I thought. But I’ve seen so many pictures of those panels coming unglued on the Facebook groups its nuts. Definitely a more widespread issue
@@MarspeedCars any mainstream interior services that could help fix that?
Very well explained sir, i always was a fan of this model, thanks a lot.
I bought my 2014 R/T 3 years ago for $22,000 out the door and I love it! (Paid off last year too) Added front and rear strut bars for stability, and I don't really need to do any mods, other than an oil catch can I added from Billet Industries. Moving to Texas from CA next month, and looking forward to that trip.
How was it after 100k miles? Looking to get ine
@@joeybagofdonuts23 When it gets 100k miles, I'll let you know.
@@bernie472 I was thinking about getting a 13 r/t with 112 on it what do you think
@@joeybagofdonuts23 I would go for it. Just make absolutely sure it's been taken fully care of. Make sure the suspension arms don't make noise, the fluids have been changed regularly, (especially the oil) and make sure the Transmission shifts smoothly with no clunking. If your not sure, have a mechanic check it out first. If buying from a dealer, make sure it has a good reputation.
@@bernie472 yeah it’s from a dealer I test drove it seems fine just worried about the cam and lifters that are known to go bad
Wish I could send you a picture of my 2011 Charger rt Maxx
I do my extra jobs driving my 2014 charger pursuit package.
I know this is random bc this is about seventh gen chargers, but I feel like if they added the Viper V10 engine to another vehicle, it would be legendary!
My brother bought a 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 last year in august
Also the SRT8 was 26k and its loaded also my brother did some minor engine upgrades so it’s pushing 489hp
It’s torred
i have a 2012 srt charger, i love that car!
‘06 SRT 8 would be perfect in my driveway someday
My dream charger is a srt-8 2014 swapped to a manual as the older auto transmissions arent the best imo
dont like th 15' and up models?
I got a dope 2014 rt with 155k miles never gave me any problems
I’ve found one with 165k, I’m sure you’ve reached that number a year later. How’s she still treating you?
I really liked these!
5:59 I own one of those 392 editions 👀👀
Should I buy a 2012 Dodge Charger SXT with 40,000 miles?
Awesome review brother.. Thanks for this 😍❤️👌🏻
I have 160,000 miles on my car 2012 Dodge Charger SE should it still be my daily driver what do y'all think???
Of course.
How about the 2014 RT Max? What exactly did the "Max" bring to the table?
The charger is the new Crown Vic & I think that’s a good thing
Srt8 with the 392
2013 Daytona production was supposed to be 3,000. Only 2,311 were made though.
I’m looking at a 2013. R/T. AWD 5.7. It has 175k on it. I’m nervous because I wanted to buy it and keep my Jeep. BUT MY WIFE says I can only have 1. My Jeep only has 75k. But it’s a 4 cylinder. Any advice out there. I don’t want this thing to take a dump on me. Thanks
