Honestly you shouldn’t tell anyone what not to use especially when it comes to drive modes, I bought my 21 DDSRT for myself as a retirement treat, I’m not here to burn up my car and beat the shit out of it, it’s my pride and joy. The Eco mode was great on my 570 mile trip, and locally too, I don’t jump on it at the light or act a fool burning up my very expensive tires, when I need power I know it’s there but Eco mode should be used all the time when not acting a fool! 😎👍🏾

I am not a big fan of FCA, im not even a big fan of suvs, but i will admit that this durango looks dam good and i think this is one hell of a set up. Good job Ben on getting hands on this one.

@CaseyGpdx 3 жыл бұрын

This is very nice suv. Lots of features and power. The only issue is no charger for the 3rd row but with the center console option it’s pretty easy to wire some in

@MidwestMotor 3 жыл бұрын

You can get red calipers on the RT also. I think for the money one should just buy the RT with the "Tow & Go" package and then throw on a supercharger! You'll have an exact SRT for less and insurance cost will be less. Edit: would also love to hear what cabin-noise there is on interstate going about 75-85mph?

@Sak-zo1ui 3 жыл бұрын

You will not have a warranty though. Depends on what the person is looking for. You will need the brembos and awd performance package to handle the power also. You wont get the srt modes though with rt. Again, depends on what you want.

@franciscofrancisco3246 3 жыл бұрын

Love the improvements overall but I have to say that The RT with 365 hp goes for around $52K so you are paying 20k extra for additional 100 horses and better breaks..and launch control. I think they should of made the SRT wider or add something that would separate it from the RT or GT looks.

@chitterlingsrtasty 3 жыл бұрын

And suspension and exhaust? I drove a test drove a RT this weekend and it felt like cold porridge. Unfortunately the front fascia was originally sRT exclusive in 2018 then they ported to the RT. (I think). But I agree. They should make it more. Aesthetically unique. Probably trying very hard to not have complexity in parts management.

Our SRT seats are so much nicer than the seats in our RT had. Much more padding and support making for a more comfortable ride especially on long trips. I actually hated the seats in our RT. Just another part of the extra price that is all part of that $20,000 price increase.

@razorraysolarsavings70 8 ай бұрын

There are more materials in a durango. Specifically the awd system. And most durango srts are optioned out. A 38k scatpack will not have a whole lot of options to its name.

My wife sold her charger RT for her Durango RT because she wanted awd for Wi winters. she recently traded the RT for the 392SRT Durango, she won’t go back to a rwd car. She loved my TA392 but only in summer, her Durango gets used all year round here in Wi and she now prefers the higher seating position for better view in traffic. Another factor to go Durango would be if you want to tow something, car you can’t, Durango you can. Basically just a much more practical vehicle.
