7:16 "In order to have good fuel economy, you have to drive it economically- and i don't even know how to do that, because I find myself flooring it every chance that I get- just to feel it and hear it." dude I live by this and I felt it on another level

Dodge relies on real raw muscle.. no microwave tech sounds

100% all for this content. There isn't much out there right now for the 2017 R/T's. Keep it up man

My reaction, when I drive the 2018 r/t.The growl and the acceleration😮 I do feel cool as hell driving it. I got 24mpg, on the hwy, 200 miles.

Just bought the 2019 version- loving life!

I have a Challenger SXT now but upgrading to the Challenger RT this coming week. After 1 test drive.. I knew it was time.

I love the sound of a good V8 hemi engine

Great review!! My RT Shaker Plus 6 speed manual is a torque beast, great looks, exhaust note, and performance.... 345 Hemi Challenger is optimized for 91 octane ..

had a 2008 R/T bought new and loved it now I'm rolling in a 2017 Daytona 392 and loving it even more :)

I’m sold I’m going to buy a challenger 😊

Damn! I got the 2015 RT 5.7L But I came with the paddles on the steering wheel, 8.4in screen, Sunroof, 20in rims, Scat pac, Harmon Kardon surround system with amp and (2) 10in Subs, Air compressor and leather seats. I'd say I got a great deal over the 2017 version.

I picked up a white 2016 RT Plus with the 18 speaker harmon kardon stereo and 8.4 screen. It sat on the same lot for two years and only had 126 miles. Dealer had 8000 off. Sure there are faster performance cars than the RT but nothing else on the road looks badass like a challenger does. I'll not be racing mine anyway. What I like best about it is not any particular feature. Its the fact that it feels like cars used to feel like. Its big, heavy, the steering wheel is beefy, you have to put some effort into closing the heavy doors. I like all that shit. The seats are VERY comfortable. The interior parts feel solid not cheap. One reviewer I watched said the challenger is a cruiser and I feel thats a good way to sum up this great car.

I'm surprised you said the back seat is "super cramped" this is the first review that has mentioned it that way.

I love mine!!! Challenger R/T 2017 Black in and out

Just bought the 2019 challenger rt plus HELL OF A RIDE way better than the mustang

Just got the 2019 Hemi, flowMasta and both cutowtz. Black on black on 20z with kit in front. YOU CAN HEAR IT ALL IN NEIGHBORHOOD. Def a headturnR

When I get my rt when I grow up I’m gonna be flooring it any second I get

Very nice. Pure and simple.

The auto trans version doesn't even get a limited slip rear diff which is absolutely ridiculous on a RWD car with this kind of power.

I got a 2014 RT manual transmission and I love it! Anybody that doesn't like this car does not own it or can afford it. There is no reason to hate this car minus only 93 octane. I test drove a mustang and Camaro just doesn't feel like this car does, it turns head no matter how much faster the others may be.

i bought a 2009 challenger rt brand new...It was an awesome car..highly recommend it!...but getting an automatic defeats the purpose of buying a muscle car...the tremec manual is great!..more tourqe and a little more horsepower...so much fun to drive!...i sold mine and now i regret it..i may get another RT next year

I love my '18 Challenger R/T simply because not everybody has one. Mustangs: I have a Mustang. Me too. Camaros: I have a Camaro. Me too.

Thanks for the video review, I am getting a 2018 challenger RT in the next couple of days , now I am really looking forward to it !

Thanks for the review, it was very helpful. I'm looking at purchasing an R/T, but want to be educated before diving in.

Love your channel, no doubt you will grow your channel. Keep up the good work

great video Mr Rob. it's a perfect car. i think the only cars I might like as much is the Charger R/T, C6 C7 VETTE

My 2016 R/T has the 8.4NAV and a back-up camera. That model just did not come with that option

Hey bro, subscribed... hope your channel gets bigger... keep up the good work.

Just bought an '18 RT plus. Drove it from Yuma,Az to San Diego,Ca and averaged 24.5 mpg. Great car

I love my 2018 Dodge Challenger rt shaker destroyer grey

Cool vid going to buy a 2018 right now.

Sweet vid man, I ordered my 18 RT yesterday custom from Dodge, going to be a long 6 weeks but can't wait

praying i get the financing .. find out tomorrow, hopefully.

I ran a 4.6 0-60 in my all stock RT 5.7 it’s a 2017!

I'm surprised to see how tiny that screen is. My 2017 rt premium plus package comes with a backup camera on an 8.4 inch screen, I would have thought the base RT came with the 7 inch. Great review Rob.

I was thinking about getting one now I think I need this in my life!!! LOL Good video thanks!!!

Just placed black vinyl top on my 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8...Hemi Orange number 2033 of 6400. Changed out the back lights to look like the more modern Challenger with sequential lights. Getting ready to llace turning signals on the front fenders like the old Mopars had...

Awesome! It should come with a Radar detector for Massachusetts highways = Rt. 128/95. 😂

My '15 RT has a backup camera with the tiny touch screen.

I have a 2017 Dodge Challenger Rt. And contrary to what he says...it does have a backup camera.

Love the exhaust tone of the 2017 challenger rt

Upgraded from sxt which was a great car up to 100k having to replace the alternator before I traded which was a pain.. I love the 18 rt engine so much more its ridiculous

Dear God, but I don't want to be in a relationship; I want to be IN a Fuckin' Challenger!!🤣

Hmmm, 5.5 sec (4.6 sec is respectable) isn’t fast, imho. I’ve driven the 2018 r/t and it def feels fast from a visceral stand point and makes a great sound. My 2014 911 CS has 400 hp but less torque, gets to 60 in 3.8 secs. But it doesn’t “feel” as fast as the R/T. Do you want numbers or shear enjoyment?

Awesome to think my dad 2016 durango rt has the same engine Mopar or No Car

I have a 2017 challenger rt stock and I got a 4.6 second zero to 60.

Great review! I'm currently looking at either ordering a new 2021 R/T or finding a used 15'+. I'm finding pricing of the used ones pretty astronomical up here in Canada, even the pre 15' cars are holding price pretty high if they are not miled out. A local 18' F8 loaded manual is $37999 (Canadian$) with only 14000 km but that's pretty close to the discounted new ones. There's some pretty hefty discounts on the new 2020 ($5500) hard to find though. Absolutely nothing seems changed for 2021, at least according to my sales guy. That motor sounds addictive my gas mileage wouldn't be all that great lol. I think the R/T package has plenty of power for the street but could you imagine if they shaved 300-400 lbs off it, likely be a good stop light fight with the SS camaros and GT mustangs.

I'm glad they keep making the classic looking car. 👌 I went with the 5th gen LS3 camaro though. Can't go wrong with these either.

Great video thanks man. Do you know the major differences in the 2016 vs the 2017? I’m getting a used RT and trying to understand the differences in the last few years.

Hi Rob, watched your SXT video and was a little surprised that you vote the R/T hands down over the SXT. You seemed to really like the SXT. I'm looking at new 2018's of both models right now, (yes, there's still a few on the lots), and there's a $7,000 difference between motors. Both cars have the same screens, sound systems and leather. 7 grand is a lot for 70 HP....lol....Not sure it's worth it....Oh, you didn't have a camera in that one because it had the "fake" spoiler that's flat. The regular spoiler which is higher has the camera in it, maybe you had to get an upgrade screen package to get the regular spoiler, not sure. It was a 2017 R/T.....2018 they started putting the regular spoilers on all models of the Challenger. Anyway, excellent job on the video, just subscribed.

I love this car soon I will be getting the scat pack

dude my 2014 challenger 6 speed does 0 to60 in 5seconds flat no joke which means you will be seeing my TAILLIGHTS the whole time

Awesome video and car

Love the review👍🏾

Hey Rob, The 2017’s Do have a back-up Camera if it is equipped with the 8.4 Ucconnect touch screen; I know, because I Own one. It was manufactured in January of 2017. But here’s the Thing; A lot of Dealerships make some changes after they receive the vehicles. In case you didn’t know. The dealers have been known to add some of the options per customers wishes and or what is popular at the Time, So that they can move more vehicles (more Sales). But mine came with leather & a bunch of other little things because I got a 2017 Challenger RT Plus. And that is Exactly what is indicated on the window Sticker. Assembled in Canada Brampton Plant. But the dealer definitely made some changes.

Don't forget that the 6-speed manual transmission has a 390 gear ratio as opposed to the automatics 3.09

Automatic?

Dose this car get you a lot of poon? That’s the only reason I want it

Average gas mileage under light throttle is 16.5 mpg at best with 50/50 city highway. It's still not that bad for a large v8. There are trucks that are worse.

Mine dyno'd 358 at the wheels w/CAI and Catback

Excellent car! Excellent review!

i got my 2017 r/t 0 to 60 5.0 sec twice normally 5.4 sec. also i get 28+ mpg highway all the time on long trips. love my r/t

i got the 2017 i got 4.9 sec in 0-60 its so quick and as he says its so much fun

He wasn't even in sport mode, he's a dork, definitely.

Bravo/Encore!, No 2nd 5'r yet?

Good review!

7:42 I enjoyed the crap out of the 2017 Charger R/T, but still found the patience to get it up to 30(!)mpg on a long hwy trip which was fun as well :)

2018 srt 392

Does this model not have Sport Mode ? I have the same car in a 2019 and it has Sport Mode which makes it a totally different car.

So it only goes .5 seconds fast than the sxt… my sxt gets to 60 in 6sec. I would expect a lot more…

What kind of exhaust system you got or is that just a delete ?

Lucky for barely snow states if your down south it’s definitely for you all year round

You made a incorrect statement! I have a 2017 RT with 5.0 connect and it DOES have back-up camera!! You clearly stated the 5.0 doesn’t have the camera! Now, the back-up camera of a 5.0 doesn’t have as much detail as the 8.0 camera does, but is nice to have!

I’m ganna be so sad the day has runs out

He said from 2070 to 2018 😂😂😂😂 1:52/1:55

I want it so bad

I rented a 2018 hemi challenger. The thing sounded bad ass but was so slow and heavy! A Ford Focus ST beat me from a red light, I was so embarrassed. The transmission is so slow to shift and the thing feels soooo weighted down. You would have to buy a hell cat in order to have a fast car.

No that car doesnt look sporty it looks luxury and to much like a GT. Get rid of them rims, chrome gas plate. Get those basic changes to black rims and black gas cap u will be in the muscle sport look cuz it looks to luxury

What gas does the R/T take?

Giving like before the video ends means that the video is good. Thanks

Vision!.. Back up

he sounds like that ford mechanic on youtube lol

Manual or automatic transmission? Which one you think is better for this car?

I have a 2016 R/T with the Tremec 6sp manual transmission. It's faster than the autos, I've had both. The manual cars come with posi rearend, bottle mufflers, which are a lot louder / less restrictive and 3.90 gears. I've run 13.5 @ 105 vs 14.1 @ 100 in the auto. The only upgrades I've done is a CAI and a Hurst pistol grip shifter.

Is the exhaust note enhanced through the speakers or is it a real sound?

y’all how does the bass sound in this

Can beat aV6 Camaro?

That T/A plus in my profile it's mine. I did today with a trunk full of sh..... a full tank of 87 octane gas, and a heavy passenger on my side in a winter cold day, normal mode everything, stock everything, and without push the car to much 5.6 seconds. Oh, by the way, it is a 5.7 liters. It is not a 392. Taking all the way off the car and putting 93 octane gas, sport mode, nice hot weather to improve traction, i could definetly low the 5 seconds. Besides, in my opinion, the way the challenger looks is unique man ( not genesis, or camaro, or mustang ) Japanese cars or korean cars, those are toys. Chevy and ford have forgotten what a muscle car is about. They are getting lighter, smaller, and more kind of modern commercial pretty ladies car. At least that is my opinion. The way a challenger looks is the way the ancient american muscle cars used to look like. The spirit of the american muscle cars is alive in the Dodge Challenger.

Can someone help me? Does the 2018 Challenger R/T have Active Exhaust?? Not the R/T plus, just the base R/T?

5.5 seconds 0 to 60 ? i do 4.7 0 to 60 in my 2014 challenger rt.and its a 6 speed

does anyone know how these cars run past 100,000 miles? are they reliable? Ive never owned a dodge nor a muscle car.

Please get your hand off the AUTOMATIC shifter. Thanks.

Mars, PA?

Major downside of the vehicle is the lifter tick

Is this R/T loud with everything Stock ?

They aren't "rims"! They are wheels! Rim refers to the outer edge of something. To call wheels "rims" is slang.

I promise. One DAY I will get THIS CHALLENGER RT and ball with it after I'm out of middle school and high school. 😎

Beauty

RT plus is so much better- id take a SXT plus over a non plus RT

Misleading if you say it’s fast in today’s age with the Camaro and mustang V8 versions both going close to 4 sec 0-60, this car is actually meh in terms of acceleration
