hey in this video I talk about my 2017 Dodge Challenger and driving it in the snow. I wanted to show you guys that you can drive a Dodge Challenger a rear wheel drive sports car in the snow just like any mustang GT in the snow or Camaro SS in the snow. I have been driving rear wheel drive vehicles in the snow and winter for the past couple of years and it is possible to have a rear wheel drive vehicle as a daily driver in the snow and ice. driving a rear wheel drive sports car in the snow is okay to do as long as you have snow tires and you have the proper weight distribution over the rear axle / wheels. in this video I hope to shed some light on driving a rear wheel drive sports car in the snow and ice and hopefully this video can help you guys out if you're looking to drive a Dodge Challenger RT or Dodge Challenger scat pack in the snow.

I totally agree wit everything said...I currently have a rt and an old head said yea jus put some snow tires on that thing and put some sand bags in the truck and you a be ok...my only hang up with driving the challenger in the winter is that the challenger doesn't have window frames so my window gets frozen to the seal and I can't open the door from time to time but actual driving...this guy is spot on

Good content! Don't forget to undercoat every year, some are 2 or 5 year recoat depending on the product. Absolutely, snow tires are critical in a muscle car in winter driving, or good quality ASRs. My RT Shaker survived for years, and my Scat has done great for 2 years now. There's been no rust, no issues, just drive in ECO Mode....lol

@kingmb
@kingmb 5 лет назад
acerswift123 r/t by far. GT uses the Pentastar V6. R/T is a V8. I've been driving in the snow for 20+ years. My current route is basically a straight line from home to work. If I really need to go somewhere I'll use wife's AWD vehicle with snow tires.

kingmb ok awesome, because I’m only 24 and I don’t really have the money to own two cars. So I’m trading my 2010 Mazda for the 2017 challenger rt, and just wanted to know if i could be safe with it. My choice is between the rt and the awd, but people keep saying the v6 is underpowered and loses value extremely fast.

As an 80's teen in the STL area, my first vehicle was a rusted out RWD only pickup truck, then a 1980 Pontiac Sunfire (rwd), then a 1978 Pontiac Grand LeMans (rwd), and then a rwd only1986 Chevy S10 pickup. None of those vehicles ever had snow tires either, so it definitely can be done. That being said, those were cheap beater cars and I was a stupid teenager. However, if I owned a nice Challenger today you'd bet your freshly shaven ball-sack I'd have snow tires for the winter. Now freezing rain is a whole other monster no matter what car/tire combo you have.

Like many others I grew up with RWD cars in New England and they work fine in the snow with the right tires and as you mentioned weight over the rear tires always helps. Drove a 1983 Corvette that I purchased in 86 and with the exception of low clearance I drove it all winter long and it was fine. You just need to understand the car and yourself and not let your ego get the best of you

Thanks, OmegaGreed! Yesterday (in Chicago) we had our first snowfall since I purchased my 2017 Challenger (used). It snowed about 2-3 inches on the subdivision's road and I WAS going to go out...but all I did was take it for a spin around the block! Why! Because I realized it was the LEAST snow car I've ever owned in my 40+ years of driving! I fishtailed, slide almost off the street, and couldn't even get back up my driveway hill! I purchased the car with 20 inch, "All Season" tires that perhaps have 50% left on the tread with the car having 17,000 miles on it. My question to you (or another viewer) is: "Since on a budget, do you think purchasing dedicated snow tires for JUST THE REAR PAIR would be OK? Or do you definitely have to install ALL FOUR as snow tires. It's costs $25 a pop to mount tires...and the ones that are on there are still good...I just live in the wrong climate (here in Chicago). Until I fix that geography, would buying just a pair do 70% of the job? Or not...
@OmegaGreedAK47

I had 2 snow tires on the back for a while and some extra weight in the trunk and that helped out alot. When I went to all 4 snow tires the car handled a lot better overall and it was more predictable.

Today it snowed and had a 35 min turned to hour drive in the snow. I drove slow and had some close calls with it wanting to get sideways. I let off the gas and crept until I made it up some slight inclines in the road. Made it home safe but was a nervous wreck in between. Time to buy some better tires!!

The doors are near impossible to open, the windows freeze so I can’t properly close the door unless the windows are cleaned off properly. There is a trim on the outside of the door at the bottom of the window that started to come off last winter. Some day I would like to get a Jeep for these harsh NY winters.

I bought my son Challenger rt rws. He goes to college in a snow belt . I bought him decent snow tires but my concern are the hilly terrain. The area you in looks pretty flat.

Watching this because I live in Maine and I just bought a dogde Magnum haha. I figure studded tires and some weight in the back should be alright. I've driven trucks through snow storms before and I've rarely ever had to put it in 4wd so I figured it shouldn't be too bad haha

My charger has new tires and it done good on the road but I got stuck in driveway I even have heavy blocks in trunk, The problem is that traction feature, it keeps you from spinning out of a stuck spot, I think you can turn it completely off before startup by holding down button

I see so many ppl in ditches driving 4wd cars in the snow. People just get way too confident.. 4wd doesnt help you brake, probably feel more confident driving faster with it but youre gonna look like a train when u need to stop

thanks for the video, my 2019 RAM lease is up within the next month and i'm considering either buying it out or the challenger r/t. of course, world of difference between the two vehicles but my main concern was always the winter, since here in NE Ohio that might be our longest season. sucks you can't get AWD with the v8 but i can't bring myself to get a v6

Il definitely say adding weight in the trunk will help in front wheel drive too. Cause when you steer in front wheel drive in the snow or at least me with an 04 cavalier on summer tires it likes to slide very easily

See i own a 2014 dodge charger sxt AWD and in the snow that thingis amazing, yes its a v6 but still powerful and does amazing in the snow. Was thinking of upgrading to a challenger cuz they come in manual trans, was thinking srt8 but just wanted to make sure they handled well in the snow, because im also in the buffalo area.

@GeorgeVGuitars 5 лет назад
Not really. I suggest going trough something smaller first and definitely less power. Its not a hard car to drive but you could use some experience first. Visibility is not that great, the power is too much for a beginner, RWD needs experience, and the whole thing is huge. :>

@jacobnisan1880 5 лет назад
acerswift123 the V6 does come with an AWD which is good for winter but it’s kind of slow but if you get a V8 which has RWD it harder to drive in winter but you get a nice loud fun car
