Why Bother With The SRT? | 2018 Dodge Durango R/T Review 

People talk about horsepower , when they can never use it. This is a family vehicle, how fast are you going with your children in the backseat? This vehicle looks exactly like the SRT, just minus the bigger engine and performance parts. I think that if you're not tracking your vehicle, the RT is the better bang for your buck...

Excellent video guys! Sub'd right away when I saw the MI references. I got my DD from LaFontaine and have loved it for 2 years! I also have the adaptive / radar cruise control and absolutely love it every day!!

I really appreciate the non-bias perspective you have. Parker would not like this car!

These look really appealing to the eye, that's why!

Thanks for making this great video

Nicely presented, EddieX, thank you.

Great reviews. You have to do a couple of collabs with other youtubers and you will be killing it

Nice video! Thinking of getting and RT myself

I just bought (a couple days ago) this identical R/T color combo. Second choice was a Lexus GX460. Initial complaint on my test drives with the R/T was cylinder deactivation in normal mode only - didn't like it (Sport & Track modes have no cylinder deactivation). But little known fact is, with some prodding, the dealership can 'flash' the on board computer and deactivate cylinder deactivation in Normal mode. I never thought I'd own a Chrysler/Dodge product. By far the R/T is a terrific, over-engineered value. BTW, test drove the SRT. Fast as heck but realistically, in street/hwy driving, 360hp is plenty. Now-a-days, 360hp in a vehicle runs more efficiently then it did just 10 years ago.

Dodge makes some great vehicles. Love this thing.

Great video! Could I ask what is the song in the beginning of the video?

This would be great with panoramic sunroof

The Beats system in our 13' Charger R/T was horrible. Glad someone else isn't fooled by the marketing.

Idk why but i like the 2016 and 2017 durangos more.... i like the twisting nob shifter more, and i LOVE the old front end

Just got my wife the exact one we love it

Great job fellas and I agree...I would like the SRT but the engine only upgrade is not worth 70k...which is the only difference between RT and SRT....I need gas to be $4 a gallon for the prices to drop to pick up a SRT.. sub..

someone pls comment how this channel has only 91k subs...should be around 500k at least...

Because the srt has srt badges.

great review, great truck!

I drive a 2015 Hyundia Genesis Coupe 3.8. and compared to the Durango R/T it makes about the same power. but need a family vehicle.

Does this model have the adaptive cruise control?

Hello Eddie, thanks for the video. is it possible to get the window sticker for this vehicle you tested. I am in the process of ordering an R/T and I noticed in this test vehicle the dash stitching was Red. I want to know what option was selected to get this. Thanks.

PDI fail not taking those stickers off the tires

there rear styling is the only thing stopping me from getting one it does l look bubbly almost like a mini van and I HATE mini vans.

Why is that lil guy always saying yep lolol and mhm

Please review buick

The insurance on the SRT is insane! Between the additional monthly car insurance and premium fuel charge you can have a lot of fun spending that money on another hobby.

Really u sav 30k & it looks the same tryna decide which 2 buy

DURANGO SRT all the way. It's not only about space and looks - it's also about power and performance!!

Haha u can make this into a drinking game on how many times that guy goes yup and mmhm LoL love the Durango rt

is the durango available with a 4 cylinder with all the tech features of this model?

Ed, Edd, Eddie... Called it 1st.

Don't you get the 6.4 with the jeep? With an extra 130hp

sun roof?

Chrysler makes sure that the vehicle feels worse than it is compared to the SRT. 3.70s vs 3.08s makes a massive difference.

Get you get the rt in RWD?

I had a rt with cat back n cai, it's slow period. Maybe if you dropped a rt out of a place it could go 0-60 in sub 4s

Damn do the beats audio really suck that bad?

why compare it to the srt there reviewing the rt why bring up the srt and im pretty sure the ones wgo said the srt is better are driving an 98 camry and cant afford the rt and stop comparing same truck except for the badges and different engine its a v8 by the end of the day

Because 6.4

Why do certain 2018 RT dashboards have the beautiful red stitch with black leather, yet some have the ugly hard black plastic?

Showed my mom this video and we went out and got the exact same dodge even the color

you both look like DAVID AND the GOLIATH when standing in front of that truck

It's a great car but if you can afford the SRT just go for it

What's the price on this R/T model???

Now days people can afford the 2007 grand cherokee srt which are just as fast as the new srt.

you said crystler @ 5:12

Because 360 HP is not fast at all for a car this big.

Wow Mr. Nissan looking M.F. Got a side kick! #asianreviews

Parker has glasses now?

Driver looks like point dexter.

سيارة دوج حلوة

"Gets SRT as a press car" why bother with the RT?

Who is this new guy? It was better when you were on your own..

Why bother both the srt Durango. Just get the Jeep trackhawk?

The r/t has better gas mileage than the srt, and who needs 485hp in an suv

Why bother with the SRT? Because, if you can afford it, it is sooo much better than the R/T. I loved my 2015 Durango R/T, but it doesn't even remotely compare to the 2018 Durango SRT that I traded it in for!!!

Why bother with the srt? Because the rt is slower than my Hyundai Elantra

Dude get rid of this sidekick

I came from a stupid Nissan Murano to the Dodge R/T, so Im rather enjoying the extra 100 HP the Durango R/T gives.

Parker looks weird.

Because an SRT will get you all the ladies!

Because more horsepower is always better 👌🏼

Find a better song love the video tho

change the channel name to CHING CHANG AND BING BONG CAR REVIEWS Ly tho eddie best car reviews on youtube if you're actually thinking about buying a car

because the SRT has like 100 more hp and has a newer engine, that 5.7 is fucking ancient

#392

Hey Eddie X! Your Review is pretty good..However, the kid with you is actually a better reviewer than you so...Just sayin...

Honestly in my opinion, with the 6.4 392 becoming more affordable as well as with the Supercharged 6.2, the 5.7 is kinda boring and useless for their sportier vehicles. I think they should keep it for their more luxury vehicles (300, Grand Cherokee) and trucks, but for sports cars, they could get rid of it. Even Dodge really doesn't care about the R/T models really, I mean the Ram 1500 with the 5.7 makes more then a 5.7 equipped Charger, Challenger, or 300. Even the 5.7 equipped Durangos and Grand Cherokees makes less power. So, in my opinion, I personally don't see it lasting much longer for the sports cars.

They should not have made it look like the SRT.

I prefer solo review , get rid of that guy plz.

You can really tell Eddie is trying with these RU-vid videos, but I just don’t enjoy them. Just being honest

Music sux very irritating good review. Open your eyes guys lol jk.👊🏾🤜🏾

China Mia I support u but THE MUSIC SUCKS!

I still prefer the 6.4, the 5.7 isn't powerful enough to push this fat ass minivan.

2 Asians ina car what could happen

Mike - "from an interior standpoint" says it every damn video. It's getting old lol

Did you dump Parker and pickup a ladyboy?

Change your RU-vid channel name to Oriental Car Reviews

Why buying a Durango? For the same price, you can get way better! It's poorly equipped, and it's not efficient at all.

Please dont stand infront of the car while explaining becauee we are here to see the car not u

You guys need to speak a little slower, its like your rapping and your voices are high pitched, you can deepen it by doing this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P41ER1Wmkj0.html those 2 things will help your channel grow since its kind of annoying to listen to a chipmunk do a review. One more thing have the camera setup to make you look taller, us americans dont trust short people

Dodge/Chrysler are the worst cars you can buy on the market today.

It’s so ugly
