The RT is a 5.7, the SRT 392 is a 6.4. The Hellcat is a 6.2 with a supercharger.

@Justin-lc1xz Год назад

And then the rest of the review is totally irrelevant....because they don't even know the very basics.

Currently renting a 2021 R/T for a week without the tow n go package. So far found no issue with wireless apple car play at all. Loved the ride quality and amazing handling for a 5300lbs family hauler. Only major concern is; even the 5.7L HEMI is extremely thirsty 😣.

@jacobbarlow9245 2 года назад

Yeah I have a 20 RT and about to get a 22 tow and go! Our 5.7 has the mds engine and gets decent gas mileage for its size. They are fun and sporty.

@Ashish1984 2 года назад

My 15 RT(Challenger) averages 19 - 20 without hypermiling, I can't complain. I have been using 93 premium gas, since I bought this first hand. I do not need to, but I do it.

@EngineAdventures 3 года назад

Really enjoyed your review! I agree with everything you said, and you said it better than I could have! This thing actually tows surprisingly well too. I find the Durango R/T Tow N Go to be the best compromise for those who need 6-7 seats, occasionally tow, and want something that is fun to drive everyday.

@JonBecker81 3 года назад

I’m sure everyone’s said it already but I can’t help myself. The next v8 up from the 5.7 is the 6.4. It is weird to think that the hellcat engine is technically smaller than the non hellcat v8 but then again it has a blower on top of it that by itself is bigger than a lot of engines out there.

@mbgrocott7115 3 года назад

One reason I enjoy your show is the scenery (and I don’t know mean looking at you guys; sorry). Joking aside, the roads you drive are great. Utah is beautiful. So is California when you go there.

I kinda think the "sound not matching the speed" is a good thing! Right? Means you can enjoy the sound without getting you and your kids in a police chase. :) My Dad's Jeep Hemi Grand Cherokee is similar, this just doesn't have the Corsa exhaust. I love just hearing the thing roar up to the speed limit. Such a good sound and there's no worry associated.

@jamesv9707 3 года назад

True if you want a fast agile vehicle you shouldn't be buying a large SUV anyway, but even this vehicle with the 5.7 v8 is still faster than most SUVs on the road.

@mbberry135 3 года назад

Dear E.D.D.; The Hellcat Durango reminds of when I looked up the cars the Gen 2 Elephant Hemis were placed in. One guy ordered a Station Wagon with the 426. And all the Hellcat Rams, Durangos, and Grand Cherokees are spawn of that 1 car. Sincerely Mike B. B. From Philly

@richardmahoney9415 3 года назад

@K03sport 3 года назад

Do the 4 buttons affect other parameters of the car like steering and throttle? Or are those adjustments done in the HU through the Track pages?

@donkeller6399 3 года назад

Yes. Brake, steering, both pedals, traction/yaw, trans, differential, MDS. Not adjustable like SRT/Helli pages, but IMO, simple 4 buttons (technically 5 = off with default Auto) that have been factory tuned dead on. With hauling 4 gkids in CO, I’ve been impressed with the 21 T&G RT. Cheers.

@corywalters6451 9 месяцев назад

Great review! I do find it odd the tow n go package does not come with the AWD low, where the non tow n go does have the low range awd.

@kylecorts9820 8 месяцев назад

Just wanted to let you know that the tow and go package has what they call the quadra track 4wd.. basically when you are in snow mode or in tow mode it gives you an even 50/50 power split. So technically it is an all-wheel drive Durango that also has four wheel drive. The sport mode is a 35/65 split and track mode is a 30/70 split. To be honest I don't know what normal is.. I'm assuming probably 45/55 or somewhere in their close.
