2018 Dodge Challenger GT AWD Does Snow

RPM News Weekly host, Rich Taber, ventures forth through five inches of New England snow with the 2018 Dodge Challenger GT AWD while recapping earlier adventures at Club Motor Sports in snowy New Hampshire with the exciting muscle car.

I put Nokian winter tires on mine.

[@jeffw1185]

I love my GT challenger, and we got 10 inches of snow outside at the moment and this car is going through with no problem

[@sunriseshell]

Apparently it's a color changing car too.

[@JillyBean860]

Right? What the hell?

[@sethmaven6924]

Sold! I'm from N. Minnesota and we got Ice, Snow (and -35 degrees) from Nov. to May. Yea, I get the 8 cylinder thing but with three children in college, I get one car and this is it. Thanks for the vid man.

[@tingokuman]

I own a challenger. Its kinda strange watching one dance in the snow so effortlessly. I'm guessing there is some jeep magic on the working end of the car.

[@dokiboki9432]

I mean it does have that same 3.6L pentastar engine the Wrangler does.

[@Sky1]

Put a plow on the front :-)

[@yolodolo9143]

Perfect! I live in Canada and ill be purchasing this version of the challenger.

[@LamontBoucherville]

Same reason I got it

[@GobbaGooBBQ]

Fun video thanks for posting this.

I'm subscribing to your channel..I am an engineer for one of the BIG 3 and enjoy your no frills way of reporting..unlike the other gimmicky reviewers on KZbin...

[@rpmnewsweekly9359]

Much appreciated.

[@emileewooten3874]

Nobody tests on ice; snow doesn't worry me. Tennessee gets freezing rain in the winter at night, NC too. We have to drive on black ice or stay home.

[@colejames423]

Because there’s no point. Nothing gets traction on ice. That’s obvious.

[@Vectar84]

Awesome car, love it!

[@jasrajcanada]

Even Land crusier cant run on black ice.Thank you

[@oscarmorales8979]

I really need to get me one of these especially since I live in the tundra of Minnesota. I currently own a 09 SE RWD and brought it last summer and can confirm that older Challengers were not made for snow.

[@lextmb]

just put some studded winter tires like goodyear ultra grip ice arctic or michelin x ice 4

[@HoodrichShinobi]

Was fun seeing this on that snow track. But I live in Maine. I want to see it go up an incline, pull down a steep driveway, or take some pretty sharp turns with a normal person driving responsibly. I love your enthusiasm, and it's funny how you didn't skip the part we all hate (clearing off the snow) Keep up the good work guys.

[@rpmnewsweekly9359]

The day with the blue car started out in Portland Maine, but there wasn't much snow on the regular street. Dodge was nice about letting us 'have at it' so we could't resist a little company sanctioned immaturity. All and all the AWD Challenger is very impressive in the snow and handles cornering really well. I'd have loved to have tried it with snow tires. If we happen to get it again w/ some snow on the ground, we'll try to get some of the shots you suggested.. Thanks for watching! Btw, you can watch the full Challenger video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYiuqmCPmKigp6s

[@emileewooten3874]

Yeah, I'm 1/5 mile from the CR. Not cleared in winter. Ice is the problem, never snow.

[@white_rook2060]

You guys must really love this car..It's the second time you've featured it in a year

[@rpmnewsweekly9359]

No doubt! We've had some exciting drives in both the 2017 and 2018 editions.

[@musicjen3733]

Any issues with the window during winter? Ice etc. with it auto open and close when open shut the door?

[@dominikdrago7795]

What a beast

[@DaneeDel]

When is not snowing but is cold my awd is ON, how do I turn it off?

[@egger2500]

the background music really makes it worse .... too bad was looking for the sound of the car

[@salmanahmad9268]

why are there two different cars?

[@rpmnewsweekly9359]

There were actually more then two, six or seven at the on track drive event, then they sent us the red one later to actually test on the streets.

[@salmanahmad9268]

ah alright, next time maybe add that in the video👌

[@devonfelder5153]

Salman Ahmad it's the same person who owns two cars

[@salmanahmad9268]

Bat Girl i don’t think so, that would be stupid to buy two same cars with different body paint

[@goldfamily6852]

Type of fancy vehicle that the camaros and the mustangs will never have-AWD! Im a camaro fan but if you live in Canada this car won’t do shit. Chevy and Ford never really care about ordinary daily drivers.

[@lacrossslounge5403]

💯💯💯♥

[@komodo380]

Get a supercharger for this then you can shock those 6.4L Hemis!

[@GodSonBlessed]

Yeah but then he will burn out the transmission. This transmission is tuned specifically to this v6 and suspension. The R/T, Scat Pack, Hellcat etc each have their own specific transmissions tuned accordingly.

[@beastman.330]

I love these car's but for some reason the quality of the car needs to improve.

[@Boomer_Dual_Sport]

Back when I had a 2013 a single snowflake would basically disable it. They say the AWD drives like garbage in either mode but it does look interesting

[@jeffs9069]

i'd rather no music. so i can hear what the car sounds like.

[@arshvirsingh7284]

Lower end challengers are the ugliest ..

[@carsondwayne]

They all look the same what are you on about...

[@chasepackard3311]

literally has the exact same body as an srt are you retarded
