Kevin Henson just a little info these people spend the extra $180-$220 in gas a year over a Ford escape and yes I’ve done the math in a business finance project at $2.30 a gallon which is average here for 87 with 15k miles a year I think it’s ironic people talk about gas prices all the time but then go spend $40 going out to eat 4 to 8 times a month Life’s too short to drive a boring vehicle just to save a tiny bit of money. Not to mention this is a safer vehicle as well

Forget that it's on an "outdated platform" and the horrible fuel mileage (If you can afford this suv you can afford the fuel for it). The fun factor and overall personality outweighs it. You shouldn't judge a car by it's statistics, but rather how it drives, and this Durango SRT is a great example of that. Great job on this review Topher :)

Just traded my 2013 dodge journey for the 2020 Dodge Durango SRT, and all I can say is that the Durango SRT is a BEAST!!! You pin pointed well of everything as I thought about the SUV, and I just cant stop driving it because its so much fun and addicting to drive. It handles around the corner very stiff almost coexistant to rolling, tires are phenomenal from the factory and grips without hardly spinning, but the truth of things that someone would buy this this car...MOPAR!!! Though my very first muscle vehicle all I can say it's going to be a thrilling experience living with a all powerful SUV that my family will never forget. Very nice review! 😎👍

I own a 2014 Jeep SRT. Love it! I don't really think there's much of a difference between the two. I have the adaptive bilstein shocks, 295 tires, ZF 8 spd...Those are the biggest factors, and of course the 392 engine. I think I could take most sports cars at a traffic light. Beyond that, the weight/aerodynamics definitely play a factor. But as a daily driver, they're a riot. Especially with the low end grunt. Only downfall is MPG with premium fuel. But it's been amazing with these gas prices!!!

In my experience with a 2015 SRT Jeep (mechanical twin), averaging 24mpg on the highway is very do-able if you drive it like a normal vehicle (also, mileage improved over time; this one mustn't have been broken in yet).City mileage is less-impressive, but still respectable all things considered.

Great video! Agreed on all points, love my '18 Durango SRT. Looking forward to the next refresh. If they can improve the animation smoothness of the instrument cluster, toss in some lower dust brake pads, and improve the quality of a few materials, I'd have a hard time finding any negatives. Although some might say the "dated" interior suites the old-school muscle car/truck vibes quite nicely. In either case, for the price, you really can't find this combination of performance, fun, and practicality elsewhere. And as noted, on the used-car market, they're a steal. Short of driving one yourself, this video does a great job to convey the feeling, aural experience, and ambiance you get from the SRT. Well done.
