Yes Yes ?Yes... He loves BRANDON !!!

too loud 🤣

This guy is the human version of a Prius. LOL

😂😂 or an Ev lol..Any guy would love the sound

People like this annoy the shit out of me. Lmao.. buys an RT and complains about the performance 😭🤣

I bought it because of the sound.

Yeah, this dude is killing me about the exhaust sound. He needs to stop wearing panties and start wearing boxers.

@@carloschacon789 or an st explorer

This guy reeks of Smugness.

👍 😂

I was saying the he clearly isn’t a Mopar Guy. Cuz we mopar peeps love loud and obnoxious😂😂😂😂.

i read your comment before i watched the video. then i watched the video. man, lol, this guy is a true douche. you were right he ragged on the car pretty much the whole time. he thinks the infotainment system shows too much info??? who would complain about THAT!? what a jerk

Worst review ever

Yup. It is easier to describe as an SRT with 5.7L engine

As a 392 Durango owner, I love the fact they let other trims get some of the good parts and not just reserve it in the upper trims.

🤣🤣🤣 or a EV

HK sound system worth the upgrade over the Alpines? Also what’s the major difference between the black brembos and SRT red brembos?

@@icecoldac3 Well, I have 'em both. Frankly, for the vast majority of popular music, I cannot detect a difference. That's probably because of two factors: 1) There's so much glass that stereo imaging is lost to reflections... particularly with "wall of sound" arrangements. There's so much reflection that XM and ordinary radio gets muddled. I haven't yet tried opera (or other classical music where stereo separation is easier to hear), but I will do that this weekend and will report back. This is why audiophile stores use curtains or sound-absorbing foam along the walls of their audition rooms. 2) I'm not a sound engineer. But, I'd wager that the additional speakers in the HK option further muddy separation. As for wattage.... I have never felt the Alpine to be underpowered... even with the windows and sunroof open. Okay. I lied. I actually am an engineer, though not a sound engineer. The extra wattage of the HK does not really translate to more "hearable" loudness. Remember, your ears hear logarithmically To achieve a measely three decibel loudness improvement, you'd need for the HK amp to be fully twice as powerful at the Alpine, not just twenty percent more powerful. So, don't waste your money if your aim is "more wattage". All that said, I must confess I've heard one or two songs that were very well produced with good dynamic range and the HK did make an impression that the Alpine did not. But, that's with the fader shoved all the way to the front seats so that the rear speakers are muted (except for the subwoofer, of course). This is so sounds from the rear speakers don't hit your ears a few milliseconds later, muddying up the sound from the front speakers. I'll speak to the brakes in another post.

@@icecoldac3 There are two differences that I'm aware of: 1) The SRT Brembo rotors are two-piece slotted, compared to the Black TnG Brembo rotors which are single-piece smooth. The rotor diameters are identical red/black. That's 13.75 inches for the front. There is both good and bad here. The slotted/two-piece rotors will (on paper at least) resist fade better than the single-piece rotors. But, in practice, this advantage really only applies to track applications or if you're doing repeated launches. You've got to be slamming the brakes a lot for the fade advantage to be noticeable. If all you're doing is slowing your Airstream during that eight-mile descent after passing through The Eisenhower Tunnel, you're not going to notice fade. If all you expect from the Brembos (compared to the stock R/T brakes) is to shorten stopping distance from 126 feet down to 116 feet (from 60 MPH) there will be no difference between black or red calipers. You've got the same diameter rotors and the same 295 Pirelli's as the SRT... Furthermore, your TnG is 200-250 pounds lighter than the SRT, everything else being equal. Theoretically, two-piece rotors can be split such that you only need to replace the outer ring. Whether these SRT rotors can do that, I do not know. I'm speaking in generalities. Also, I have been told that slotted rotors are not supposed to be resurfaced (turned). They're supposed to be replaced. It's got something to do with "lathe chatter". I am NOT a machinist. So, if there are machinists who wish to stomp on me and claim they can turn slotted rotors, go for it. I won't push back. 2) The red Brembos are supposed to come with "SRT performance pads". They feature an ablative material which is why they wear down faster and release more dust. Specifically, the dust is supposed to carry away the heat when it releases from the pad SRT replacement pads are supposed to cost more, too. The dust is why I opted NOT to get them. I was quite willing to spend the extra $495 for the red brakes until I read on the fora about customer irritation with how quickly the wheels would discolor... to the point where posts were made pointing to third-party ceramic pads that eliminate the brake dust problem. I dunno if this is true. I'm not a brake guy. And yet, here it is now ME complaining about brake dust. Go figure. As for how much "better" the SRT pads are compared to the ones that come with the TnG black calipers, I cannot say.

@@TheCondoInRedondo great breakdown and analysis. Made my decision 💯💯💯

@@icecoldac3 Does this mean I don't have to listen to opera this weekend, after all? Best of luck! Are you going to go for a custom build? Or, are you going to hunt for a match off existing stock in your region?

He knows nothing and should be driving a Ford Bronco Sport.

It's kind of a weird package. Feels like they had a bunch of extra parts lying around and were like "what can we make from these?"

@@ChrisONeillUSA I now own this 2021 Durango... Fully Loaded... 💯🔥🚀

@@ChrisONeillUSA Well don't upgrade to that package. I mean you're not forced to get that package. What's your problem. Reviews the Tow and go but knows nothing about it. It's not a standard option. SMH

Exactly!!!!

They do not "lock". But friction prevents them from bouncing.

The drone is there if you think about it. Of course, how much of it you hear depends upon the shape of what you're towing. The sound is not going to reflect off the bow of your boat back towards the Durango. But if you're hauling an Airstream, then yes. Expect reflections off the front surface of the travel trailer to magnify the drone at some frequencies. To Dodge's credit, they do have "active noise-cancelling" to attack the exhaust note during highway cruise.

If you tow a lot, you might consider the Wagoneer, which is body-on-frame. That will help isolate the cabin from trailer and hitch noise and vibration. If you tow only occasionally, the Durango is quite capable, particularly with the 5.7 hemi. That said, there is a KZfaq channel of some guy with a large travel trailer and his Durango is a six-cylinder.

I can’t afford it! But if I could for 66k I’d get a Tahoe RST, cheaper , comfier, V8. Nicer tech IMO

Every car reviewer needs to like loud exhaust drone, got it.

@@ChrisONeillUSA You reviewed a Durango that is optioned out with an exhaust. It's not standard equipment. Why didn't you just review a V6 Durango GT? Reviews a car that's priced up to be loud and fast. Complains about it.

I'm about 5'10"/5'11"

@@ChrisONeillUSA At your height how long could you ride back there in the 3rd row?

It is, and at the time of making this video I didn't realize it was a noteworthy package. Still think you can do better from other manufacturers, but the Tow 'N Go here is certainly a unique proposition.

Different cams and intake/suspension setup. The same engine in the Charger only gets 370HP. But the 5.7 is dated and probably the slowest V8 on the market. Nowadays 360 HP is weak for an 8 cylinder.

Supposedly the new Jeep Wagoneer will be the Durango's replacement.

@@b.f.378 Really? I haven’t heard that. Makes sense tho since they made Tow n Go and Hellcat versions.

Do you have Tow&Go option?

@@dimav975 yea

R/T plus option has the nicer seats and other goodies. Tow and go should have track option. Does yours have black brembos?

I'm going to upload SO MANY more.

@@ChrisONeillUSA I like your style. Just out of spite...I'm going to upload even MORE! I just bought one with the Tow-N-Go package, but I didn't mind your review at all. All these butthurt comments are hilarious. Thumbs-up from me brother!

@@olliecrow3547 At least you didn't buy a Tow-N-Go to complain about how loud and fast it is. LOL , It's not about being butthurt it's about the stupidity of complaining about an upgradable engine being fast and tow n go exhaust being loud. Just don't upgrade. Get the V6 GT to review. It's like saying, I hate this red jacket I bought because it's Red. LOL

@@Alwaysbeclosing1774 being my comment is a year old, I don't remember this video. I'm tempted to watch it again to see if I still agree with my comment.

Next up SRT Durango review. This Suv is dated too fast and toooo Loud. When I hit the outside door really hard it leaves a dent and also now my hand hurts. Cheaply made. However New 3 row basic boring grand cherokee coming out. Now thats a 10 out of 10 LOL

You're right, since the Wagoneer was introduced to do just that, and it just looks like a bigger Durango. Can't wait to see what the Dodge equivalent will be.

I really think the refresh makes it look like a completely different vehicle. V8 hemi will hold value in the future because V8's are going away next year.

Or a Honda Element. LOL
