2010 RT has 201,000 miles running strong!

I have a 2010 R/T Classic , 111 k , still running strong. Love it still

I bought a used 2011 RT manual w/ 70,000 miles in clean condition . Runs nice ,and has a good amount of power , totally fun to drive ! Your right it seems to have held up really well.

2013 RT in my garage with 6 speed Track Pack. While it's low mileage I very much agree. Even sitting 6 months during winter it drives exactly the same as the day I put it away.

Just came across your video. As a GM guy, I agree. I am an overall car guy and have owned everything from a 2010 SS to now a 23 RT-m/t, and an 03 bmw z4 3.0i-MT. I have owned a 21 sxt premium and must say that these cars are great in all variations. I work in a shop and find that we only see these when they are heavily abused. I recently owned a 24 s650 6 speed and seriously disliked the screens. Great car, sounds great, but the ipads are nonsense. As a daily, the 5.7 is fantastic. The fact that there is no DI and a HPFP, and a lack of nannys-is just great for a car guy. Last call is cool too!

i have to agree with you on the build quality, dodge and ram are made to last

2013 RT with 130,000 miles and still going strong! The only issue was the alternator going out, but that was covered by a recall and replaced for free.

I wish I could agree with you but, I can't. I have a 2014 Challenger R/T Plus, that I bought used in April, 2016. It had 16,206 miles when I first bought it. It currently has 134,570 miles. It's my daily driver. I noticed the first week when I had the car she would pull to the right ( a camber problem) all four brakes would squeal and my rear window defroster wasn't working right. All had to be replaced. Another problem is the air unit. On rare occasions I would turn it on and it wouldn't engage until I made several attempts to get it working. In the last three years from 2020, currently (2023). I had to replace the radiator and radiator fan, drive shaft, engine oil switch, fuel pump. Now I have to replace the rear glass due to a leak. Not to mention my front and rear suspension needs to be replaced due to lose components. And my driver side window had to be adjusted because it wouldn't line in with the rubber molding. But, I still love my Challenger. I still haven't change my spark plugs!

I’ve been on the fence about getting a high mileage r/t with the 6spd manual. This video helped a lot thanks man

Nice looking car , i was never a huge dodge fan but once i started working on my friends Charger i ended getting myself a 2021 Scatpack TA black on black. & Couldnt b happier..🙂✌️

Loved the vid. Loved the car. I want one as well but I want to keep "stock" and just replace the full with new shiny stuff. Youve made my mind up, between this and an 08-10 mustang GT. Thank you

Nice color and wheels. I agree mopar all the way. I sold my red 72 demon, used to have a 2010 rt classic 6 speed. Now I have 2011 ram pickup, and a 2010 srt challenger 6 speed, plum crazy.You can tell you take care of it

THAT is one beautiful RT Challenger ! I’m hoping at 🎉some point in my life getting one. I’m really not a fan of getting in and out of cars since owning RAM trucks 99’. But they are truly my dream car to own one day. Especially since the original late 60s models are so hard to get, matching numbers car I’m talking about.

105,000 miles on my 6.1 srt8, been through 3 fuel pumps, 1 radiator, 1 power steering pump, 6 brake pads, 4 rotors, power steering angle sensor, 1 door latch, 8 Nitto tires. I’ve spent a fortune. Definitely do not recommend buying one with high mileage. FYI, I purchased mine with 66,000 miles.

Thank you for doing this. I am also looking at as used R/T and you answered every question I was having. Very well told, just like what a good friend would tell you.

Nice video with a lot of good information. I’ve own 3 Challengers. Currently I still own a 2016 R/T Shaker Plus with a 5.7. My first 2 challengers had no issues. but my 16 has had a few issues with the driveshaft carrier bearing bushing broke, hood rust, the window trim pieces discolored, the cowl faded. Granted this car is my daily driver and it’s not in a garage. For a car with only 38k miles it’s showing its age.

The reason these cars are high quality is because they were partnered with Daimler Benz at the time. The relationship with Daimler rubbed off on the builds of these. I have a 2010 Furious Fucshia R/T with 3K miles and it’s like brand new. I’ve had 180 cars, and this is top five of my favorites.

I own a 2010 Challenger RT Classic manual in PCP that I bought used in 2016. It’s been a great car. I did have a bad alternator but other than that, no mechanical problems. The front hood seal failed but I didn’t replace it yet and the dash cover right above the center vent popped up but Gorilla Glue and looks great again. It’s only @ 66,000 right now but needs more hp for sure. The Tremec 6060 in it is one of the best manuals I’ve owned for sure. It’s a really nice comfortable cruiser that I really enjoy driving. Like you I’ve been thinking about giving it some more hp, especially after driving one of my son’s Scat Charger. I’ve been leaning towards a Magnuson SC and probably shorty headers. Be interested to see what you’re going to do with yours? I do wish brake upgrades were a bit less pricey and didn’t have to source scat spindles to do a factory type upgrade. I agree with you on the interiors. Growing up in the 80s all the cool muscle and pony cars had black no frills interiors and that was fine by me. Also wanted to mention that I’ve got an 03 Mach 5 spd (Torch Red) that I’ve owned since 03.

Driving a 2012 SXT with 280k miles on it. Finally had to get the top end rebuild (2 cams and 24 lifters) a little over a year ago. Water pump and air compressor a few years ago. Other than that mostly just maintenance. Love the car and it's always been awesome.

I agree with you 100%, I've owned a 2014 and now a 2023 and couldn't be happier, maybe some of the other KZfaq people should watch your video, versus making video after video complaining yet I think that's just all they can do. Maybe OC and TK should check this out. I keep saying there are millions of Challengers and Chargers out there yet they keep making videos complaining that Dodge isn't making any more V8's. Oh my!

Excellent video. I just got a 2017 5.7 RT myself. I hope it holds up just as well as these earlier ones. I've owned a 2016 Mustang, and 2018 Camaro as well. The Camaro was the only rattle free one of the bunch. I have a horrible dash rattle in the Challenger that I need to look into. As far as overall fun on the street this car wins hands down

Very nice car ! I have 192,600 on my 2010 TorRed DODGE CHALLENGER R/T . I'll be adding a metal 200,000 MILE CLUB license plate frame DODGE gives you at 100,000, 200,000 miles. I have a 100,000 MILE CLUB license plate frame on it now.

I have an opportunity to purchase a 2014 RT Challenger 5.7 with only 6,500 miles. 17,500$. Worth it ?

Your car is clean as hell man!👍

My '10 R/T 6 speed had 70,000 miles on it when I bought it. I had to rebuild the transmission around 110,000 miles. I've also had to have the body cut and patched in spots due to some rust. Besides that she's been a great car. Currently at 125,000 miles.

I love this generation along with the Charger RT but they are not cheap on the use car market.

I bought my 2013 R/T 6sp in 2021 with 76k. I had the recalls performed and have only changed rotors/pads & waterpump. Windshild leaks but am unsure why. Reminds me of my 70 Charger with holes in floorpans lol runs strong,no issues. Great road car. Has 99k on clock now. Looking to get a SRT8 or Scat Pack.

It's true about GM cars falling apart. I owned 2 brand new GMs, and both were falling apart within 7 years, less than 70k miles. A million tiny plastics and switches

Couldn't agree more. Have owned several mopars old and as new as a 2017 Hellcat which had a very solid build. Had a 1964 Plymouth belvedere with 500000+ miles on it that was very reliable. Mopars are as reliable if not more so than the other American made cars.

Nice video. I have a 2012 Yellow Jacket, SRT 8, still very fresh. The 1 of 1 car I am not sure of. The RT Classic Challengers were a bit more rare than a standard RT, but they were not that rare. Yours is an automatic with a sunroof. I would double check that with FCA. They did a research on mine, I have the original build sheet and window sticker. There were only about 1300 Yellow Jackets sold- 1000 here in the states, the other 300 went to Canada. Mine is one of 392 with my options. Nice Classic you have. I wouldn't cut it up or modify it. I would sell it if you want something with more power. If it was a standard V6 Chally then I would modify that, but this being a Classic RT I would leave it alone.

Very nice quiet comfy high speed cruiser!

My 2010 R/T has 106,000 miles and still running strong. Tires, brakes, one battery, spark plugs and warranty work on the rack and that's been it. Regular oil changes with full synthetic and good gas go into it. I have no complaints about my Chally and even love the Hemi Tic.

Why not just put a vortech supercharger on it and lil wider tires in back possibly and a tune and call it good. I bet you would not want to get rid of it once you feel the extra power. Just a thought since it would even compete with the new stuff too.

Very well said, I've had 2 Chargers, a 300 & currently have a 2010 Challenger, as well as a '23 Nissan Maxima. I've had other Chryslers in the past. I've had almost 50 cars myself, not including motorcycles & your video kind of reminds me of myself, when I'm not only defending anything Chrysler, but also, Hyundai/Kia, as I've had many. I've also had many Hondas, Toyotas & Nissans, other than the one I have now. Although they were all good cars, I had much better luck & enjoyed, my Hyundai/Kias more & with the amount of experience I've had, I think I would know, so again, great video, you nailed it in my opinion, these all hold up way better than people think. I tell people all the time, whenever they're saying something bad about Chrysler/Dodge or Hyundai/Kia (which I realize are completely different brands), that they need to stop watching Scotty Kilmer. People have no idea that not only does Honda, historically have more recalls than any other brand (in their defense, they do take care of it fast & in a hurry), but Toyota actually has the most catastrophic recall in automobile history, which was oddly overshadowed shortly after, by the GM ignition switch recall, which paled in comparison to Toyotas, as it effected Lexus' too & killed way more people, not just in the United States, but worldwide. Certain brands issues, get swept under the rug, while others, people have their pitchforks out for. While I do agree that Hyundai should have recalled the issues they have going on now, no doubt, most fires happened after 100,000 miles, hence why it took so long to recall, in the meantime, Honda GDi engines, which Hyundai/Kia actually perfected, found in 2016+ Civic & CRVs, are catching fire at just 20,000 miles, but no one talks about that, just like no one talks about how the Civic was the most stolen car for 25+ years. Again, I've had almost 50 cars so there's absolutely nothing that anyone can tell me about a car.

Have the same car - couldn’t agree more!

Man, 08-14 SRT8 are a great price for overwhelming performance. RTs are a great daily fun car. Tell everybody they’re actually real nice interior and suspension

Nice video man. 🤙

Only issue I've really had with my 2013 in terms of interior is that the dash creaks and the center console latch cracked.

That’s hilarious the build quality on that car is the best in the bunch😂

I found one for $6,500. 177,000 miles on it and has a rebuilt title. The body is in good shape and I really want to buy it. Should I BUY it or PASS? SOMEBODY HELP ME!

Good vid. I have an 09 rt. 40k. Love that boat

Honda accord V6 with 320k miles. Where’s any dodges with that mileage?

Great video, great commentary. I have the 2010 classic edition. Mine has the exact same heritage rims as yours. Can you please tell me what size of tire you have on the back? They look huge snd much wider than the default 245 size. Please let me know. Thank you.

I like this RT model. but I do not see many with that stripe package. What do you look for to find the ones with the stripes like yours? Nice car.

I have a 2009 rt with 130k, sadly its starting the infamous quarter panel rot, but it's been pretty good other then having to replace timing guide that broke off in the engine. One day I did an oil change on the car and found a bolt fell out, the engine was running fine. However the timing chain was rubbing up against the timing cover so eventually would have gouged a hole through it, lucky I was up on an oil change that week..... They were known for this issue when the guides would get brittle, the bolt would back out and allow the guide to get chewed up. They went through recalls with them but all they did was replace them with another plastic crap one. I replaced it with the nice cast aluminum one you get now. But that has been the only real issue with mine. This was the engine with MDS, and this seems to be only really an issue on automatics. Anyone that owns any from 2009 and coming up too 100k , expect this to happen. Even if you had the recall done early in its life, it may still happen. Be aware. Im still on the stock struts, shocks from the factory lol.

Great video. If I have it serviced and well maintained with oil Change and other recommended services, Would you recommend buying an extended warranty for the engine Of a challenger for an additional $3000? Thanks in advance

I'm looking at a 2010 rt with 30k. Looks immaculate. But they want over 20k. Bit of an eye watering price for that vintage. Or is that considered a good price nowadays?

I got 180k on my 2011

Sad to see they are not making them anymore, with the camaro done as well...that only leaves the mustang left.

What’s the wheels brand and size of those rims and tires. Looks retro, good setup.

I owned a 2013 Challenger R/T in crazy plum purple. I loved the car except for a few things, first the plastic used in the rear tail lights was pretty cheap looking. Also, where it says Dodge was prone to scratching from wiping. Secondly, The wheels were chrome painted plastic not a regular alloy wheel. That was kinda cheap.

I got a question is it a good Idea to buy a 2011 Challenger R/T with 140,000 miles, they guy says there nothing wrong with run perfect I'm just worried about the miles? I been looking for one I wanted to convert it to a Shaker, what do you think

I have a 14 R/T Classic bought new in Plum Crazy purple. I have almost 40k miles on it the car just got back from the dealer. It had new heads water pump thermostat and coolant tank. The cars are junk FCA builds junk. I will never buy anything from FCA again. They kissed up to me when I had enough and was going for CA Lemon Law. They offered a full lifetime warranty. It's a good thing because everything has had to be replaced so let them eat it.

the 2012 Challenger has the most complaints and defects. I'd try to find a 13 or 14 model. 2015 has the newer interior.

I think as far as domestic vehicles usually front wheel drive A to B cars Id be leary of. I'd go to Toyota or others for that but rear drive cars and trucks also 4x4 trucks domestic car makers aren't too bad. I believe GM and Ford decided to just get away from even making front drive passenger cars. Challenger looks good. Personally I'd like to get another mustang at some point. As far as GM I've had 3 of their trucks. As far as the older ones I can't complain.

I really like mine it's a 2009 only have 25250 miles on it I'll never get Rid of it I will go with me when I Die

I own the 2014 R/T Blacktop edition w Super Trak Pack & 6 speed and I go through tires every 18 months. Yours look BEEFY, can you PM me details on what rears your running? One of those are as thick as wide as two of mine. Nice ride :)

Any issues w the lifters?

Get to 170,000 and up and let me know if your cam and lifters are still good with no ticking

What weigh of engine oil you said you used

ah, so tempting... but nah im just gonna get a toyota hybrid lol

ive had a few cars lol. 4 mustangs, 2010 charger, chevy pickup trucks etc. my 2014 challenger is for sure the best build quality. no joke. 7:18

Looking at a dodge 2013 challenger RT for 15k. But has 119k miles. I’m iffy on it. Miles are high. Any recommendations Unk?

nice car

The Dodges of the 70s the ac was terrible in the back seat you suffered

The heated and cooled seatrs don't work on the challenger. Also, the auto transmission is trash. The manual tran is really slow. The Mustang has creeks for some reason, but are really fast. Camaro is the best of all, but it's roof line is too slow.

If u decide to sell, let me know!

My Challenger like others have16 spark plugs…..yep….it’s not your everyday car

Rust on there trucks is why i dont buy there trucks.Just bought a challanger T/A

Ah idk quality is on par with mustang mustang n dodge is much better then modern Chevy to me. Modern Chevy is garbage

Those chargers have Mercedes Benz Suspensions
