2020 Challenger R/T First Impressions | 5.7L HEMI!

[@1redrubberball]

I really like your 2020 R/T. Nice overall appearance with the contrast of the wheels against the black body. Models with color keyed wheels lost that contrast and it takes the overall appearance down to this old hotrodder. I was a Mustang/Cougar fan for decades but gave it up around '95/'96. The retro Challenger reignited the urge and I bought a white 2013 R/T 6 speed base model for my retirement present. It's my toy, driven just for fun, no mundane duty. It has full coverage insurance along with liability on my 2003 Trailblazer for about $64 monthly. Plenty of power to have lots of fun and I don't thrash or trash it. I live in the country and don't drive in the city much so my average mileage is 21-22 mpg. I've studied the cruising economy at 55 mph (33 mpg), 65 mph (28 mpg) and 70 mph (27 mpg). Far out compared to the old days. Runs just fine on 87 octane but you can feel some more ponies on board with 89 or 91/93. Mine has the 3.73 limited slip but in 6th gear it cruises at 1650-1700 rpm's. Also the 5.7's don't shut down any cylinders in the manual tranny models. Not into racing anymore and I don't need to heat my tire's, and doing donuts is just plain silly to me, so my 245's are just fine. I don't have complaint one after 7 years of ownership. I think the SXT and R/T fit the bill for most folks. At $28,500 out the door in 2012 I got a deal I'm very happy with. Wish you the best with yours!

[@takudzwamaunganidze9480]

Thanks for the great video, you definitely earned an extra subscriber. The challenger is my dream car, but I’ve always wondered what the gas mileage is and how well it can do with the gasoline in a week in both city and highway. If you can do a video on that, it will be much appreciated

[@brandonzimmerman1667]

I'm coming from a 2019 GTI, seriously thinking about the R/T once the GTI is paid for.

[@markurbancowboy]

Perfect muscle car for the money. I've literally had them all, '14 RT 5.7, two 392 Scats and two Hellcats. From what I have learned is that you can have more fun with the RT's than you can with the Hellcats on the street. The Hellcat's put out so much power that you can't use it all without getting in some serious trouble so you mostly drive them around not using 90% of the power. With the RT's you can drive them around and use all of the power and have fun with the car.

[@dawg4769]

markurbancowboy Hell yeah after I drove my brothers hellcat I had no idea why people would get a red eye, like the regular hellcat already ha: way too much power for the street I personally feel like.

[@markurbancowboy]

@@dawg4769 Yep. My Redeye will go sideways on you at 60mph and that's not even flooring it. The RT's will get loose on you too but not at those speeds.

[@mikeprice8307]

@@dawg4769 I'm with you. I had HC fever and was unsure on which of the 2, got the regular HC and dont understand managing 90 more horses. Just the regular one is a complete BEAST. And that's coming from a 10' srt8 owner.

[@gbales84]

Put some better/stickier tires on the faster cars and you can have plenty of fun. I put R888Rs on my Viper and the car will actually grab traction even in first gear. Fantastic street tire and gave a lot more confidence when driving the car.

[@Nickoli]

thanks for the insight my man, been debating on the RT or Hellcat and you've sold me on the RT having more fun on the streets. If i have all this power, why not flaunt it?

[@shantkouyoudjian6820]

I just picked one up a week ago. I’m obsessed!! And for those who wonder how loud this car actually is stock, the camera does it no justice. It’s WAY louder and aggressive in person.

[@RatchetWrenches]

That’s awesome! Congrats. And seriously the camera and shotgun mic doesn’t do justice for how loud this beast really is. I couldn’t believe it myself

[@trevonhall7873]

For sure! But if you decide to go aftermarket exhaust, Corsa Extreme is sooooo loud, but very clean and quiet during cruising speeds.

[@sloth7778]

Wait til u get a mid muffler delete that shit makes it 10x louder and better

[@waitn4theharpazo]

I drove a V6 Challenger for the last 3 years and I just upgraded to the RT, 50th Anniversary Edition. I've had it for 3 weeks and every time I start it my heart skips a beat! I love driving it so much. I think starting with the SXT Plus V6 has made me appreciate the hemi in my new car even more. Gotta crawl before you walk they say but I'm running now!

[@RatchetWrenches]

Love the quote at the end, so true! This car is truly incredible!

[@rockhopper01]

Yep! I daily drive a ‘19 SXT AWD, but just added a ‘21 Scat Pack last month. Being winter in Indiana, when I pull out of the garage in the SXT I’m always looking at the Scat and pining away for a sunny day!

[@brandonedwards1181]

Facts

[@SuperCaveman16]

I would agree with you but the scat pack is only 4-5 grand more and I’ve drove both it’s a big difference. Not to mention base scats have more standard features than the base rt’s.

@@SuperCaveman16 Well keep in mind that MSRP isn't always the reality. If only we lived in a world as such where that was true, but dealers love to run that shit up

I've owned my 2020 R/T for 10 months now and I'm still ultra impressed with the incredible stock exhaust note. Dodge just nailed it and there is absolutely no need for anything aftermarket. Nice job guys with the 'drive by' to let everyone hear that Hemi.

[@RatchetWrenches]

[@marqj301]

I agree that the stock exhaust sounds great. After about half a year of owning my new 18 RT Plus, I decided to go for a muffler delete. I loved it...but it was a little too rowdy for me. I instead went for the Dynomax Race Bullet Minis and man...it almost gives the same sound as the muffler delete, but on a more refined level. If I put the car in sport mode which is almost all the time, it's loud but not obnoxious. Drive it normally in normal mode and it's "quiet". These mufflers are probably the best bang for your buck when it comes to an exhaust modification. 10/10

[@calvingates2019]

I love the sound of that 5.7. It’s sounds more violent to me.

[@RatchetWrenches]

Pure American muscle! Can’t beat that hemi sound!

[@PowerofPlacebo]

Agree, my wife pulled up next to a 392! She said she could barely hear it? 🤷🏽‍♂️ they DONT make much sound unless modified!!

[@barackputin]

Very nice review. I just picked up a 2017 octane red 5 7 rt 3 days ago. I have driven and owned several high performance V8 cars in my life, including my current 700 hp 2000 Camaro as well. For me personally this car is hands down the most enjoyable overall. I could care less that it's not the fastest V8 around. The sound, look, ride, and overall feel and presence is just awesome.

Thanks bro , just a little update after two years .. The car still rocks , best purchase I ever made 💪​@RatchetWrenches

[@DonJD4K]

Great video! I personally am a V6 challenger owner, and decided to buy the V6 because of how smooth and comfortable the drive was, as well as the gas mileage since I’m in college at the moment and want to save money for a higher model. With that being said, I had a choice between buying a 2016 R/T or a 2018 SXT but could go no higher than $26,000. I decided to test drive a scat pack to see if it was worth buying the V6 to save up money and buy the more powerful engine, and then I test drove the R/T. While the R/T was fun to drive, that’s all it was to me. Nothing to lose your mind about. So I decided to buy the SXT which was fully loaded, and wait on the more powerful engine. The scat pack was everything I wanted it to be and more. The R/T is for someone who craves the hemi sound and feel, and wants to use up the 375 horsepower on the weekend. If you’re looking to be fast, get a scat pack. The R/T’s and SXT’s are fast cars don’t get me wrong, but they aren’t fast enough to beat much...

[@RatchetWrenches]

Thank you! And that’s very understandable seems like you have your goals aligned which is great. Yeah very well said if I had the money I would 100% by the scat pack!

[@marqj301]

I've had my 18 RT Plus for a year now and it's been fun since day 1. Bought her brand new. Sounds like you have your priorities straight. However, in reference to your last statement "aren't fast enough to beat much", there are people like myself who couldn't care less who's faster. No matter how fast of a car you get, there will always be someone faster. Bought a scatpack? Dude down the street got a hellcat. Bought a hellcat? Oh, dude across town's got a demon. That's why I just cruise in mine and use some of the power when on the interstate. I'll leave all the illegal racing and tire spinning to the meatheads

[@trentonrandall9364]

Please don't compare a R/T to a SXT. "The R/T’s and SXT’s are fast cars don’t get me wrong, but they aren’t fast enough to beat much..." that's so laughable. The SXT is a V6 and it doesn.t come close to a R/T..... not at all. If you don't own or never owned a R/T then you have no say so. I've onw a Scat Pac for 2 years and traded it in for a R/T Hemi 5.7...... the SXT compared to the R/T is a big joke because you can't compare the two.

The only thing a muffler delete leaves to be desired is neutral revving, it's good not great

[@tacticalbt1023]

Love the hemis I have a 2019 Dodge Durango RT I love it plenty of power n sounds great

[@RatchetWrenches]

Right! And I actually heard a Durango the other day and it sounded beautiful! Dodge is doing things right haha

[@shpendsejdiu8601]

i love this car this is my dream car for life

[@casscassy9174]

Is that a new type of exhaust system compared to the older RT?

[@RatchetWrenches]

Cass Cassy definitely yes because the older gens weren’t this loud straight from the factory

[@casscassy9174]

Sounds amazing 👏

[@RatchetWrenches]

Couldn’t agree more! I was truly shocked at how good it sounded

[@ejaramillo3149]

I feel left out having a 2011 se 😢

[@lh1678]

I work for Enterprise so I drive these from time to time.

[@RatchetWrenches]

Haha I used to rent from them all the time.. this possibly being one of them lol was a very fun car!

[@martinezt.v5343]

Just discovered you’re page with watching this video on the challenger RT and I really enjoyed your content , you should do more of these videos

[@RatchetWrenches]

Appreciate that! We unfortunately don’t own the challenger, but we have plenty of other cool content similar to this you might like.feel free to check out our other vids

[@johnnykilroy9399]

Damn the 2020s have a lowered stance and I think they put a active exhaust on them too

[@cburn67]

They started active exhaust in 2017 for all V8 models.

[@danbyrd5237]

KingDing919 I knew it sounded better than my December ‘16 R/T. Missed it by that much.

[@anthonyhudson431]

I hear a redesign will be coming in 2023 what you think ? I think it’s a handsome car but it does need a new look

[@RatchetWrenches]

ANTHONY HUDSON I haven’t seen it yet I’ll look into it but I agree I think a nice new design could be great Aslong as it’s sleek and not a mistake like the new bmw design 🤢

[@anthonyhudson431]

Ratchet Wrenches I hundred percent agree the new BMWs are just messed up they look like A Lexus IS

[@timhoolio2120]

American Muscle right there

[@blaXkgh0st]

Canadian muscle? Built in Brampton, Ontario.

[@Grimpurple_minion99]

I have a 2016 scat pack 392 hemi with the shaker hood in plum crazy purple and it’s in a six speed manual and I absolutely love it It has 5360 miles on it. From what I can find only 126 were made in plum crazy purple with a manual transmission in the United States!!! I like the sound of the 5.7 sounds amazing but in my personal opinion the 392 6.4 sounds better

[@cletusvandamme175]

I will be getting one this year

[@RatchetWrenches]

Nice! They are fun cars for sure

[@perryb5373]

Great video! Once I put wider tires I never spin when launching which obviously allows you to get better 0-60's. 275's I still spun at bit so I finally went with 315's.

[@CDalonzo]

Perry Beaulieu can those go on the stock rims?

[@josephpuzzo1]

Whats best Time?

[@kffk9805]

Guys need your help, im looking for a challanger. The 5.7 are realy great for the price i wanna pay for. But i want the 6.4 because i think (i still dont know but i read it often) the sound is much better, but the price is a little bit too high for me. Now im looking this 5.7 challanger in this video and the sound is amazing! What do you guys think. A 6.4 with way more miles or a 5.7 hemi with less miles

[@leban86]

I bought the 2015 RT Plus new. My stock exhaust was no where close to this. I wish it was!

[@RatchetWrenches]

Pete N yeah I think it’s a new thing for 2020, it sounds so good I couldn’t believe it was stock

[@PyrosPelagics]

i like the 2020 hemi badge on the sides

[@RatchetWrenches]

So do we they are nice!

[@JohnJohnson-yf9py]

Love the sound heard it clear

Agreed!

Great video …. Can you start car but already in sport mode ?…getting mine in May … same color n wheels … more options but same car … love the video n can’t wait till my 2022 rt challenger is ready

[@RatchetWrenches]

Tbh I’m not sure if you can start it in sport mode, we only had the car for the day but if I were to guess most likely not unless you get it tuned to do so, just like most cars unfortunately from factory. But hell yeah enjoy it and good luck!

[@fahd3228]

Hi Roberto , I drive 2021 RT and to answer your question unfortunately sport mode is something you have to activate manually, but very easy just one press of a button. I hope you like and enjoy the car it is tons of fun

[@robertosan66677]

@@fahd3228 thanks … i will …yes i saw a few videos where it said sport mode has to be activated manually but thanks anyways … yes can’t wait to get mine and congrats on your 2021 … I had a challenger before but the sxt model 2015 …sold it to get my Jeep but going back to challenger 😊

[@castiland1000]

Mid muffler delete best cheap mod you can do on these 5.7 unless you want to get a full exhaust

[@RatchetWrenches]

That’s what I’ve heard. Its prob one of the most common avenues to start off with

[@Jaywoody21]

Exactly what I did

[@Dreamcardriving]

It's a great car but man she drinks gasoline lol I like the duo review!

[@RatchetWrenches]

Very true she’s a thirsty girl hah but thanks man!

[@zells8303]

If you get less than 2k rpm your running on 4cylinders

[@1redrubberball]

@@zells8303 Engines that feature cylinder shutdown are and have only been available with automatic transmissions. Mine (2013) has the 6 speed manual, 5th & 6th gears are highway OD gears. In 6th at 70 mph, my engine is turning at 1650-1700 rpm's. Cruising at 55, 65 & 70 mph, my gas mileage is 33, 28 and 27 mpg respectively. I get average overall mileage of 21-22 but most of my driving is country/hwy.

[@kd-jj1rn]

Really? I got a 16 RT 6 soeed and i find its good on fuel, 18 mpg in the city

[@davehibbs9111]

The hood changed from the 2 little vents to the center scoop and the exhaust got louder! Are you sure that exhaust is stock?

[@RatchetWrenches]

Gotcha yeah some lil aesthetics. But bone stock! It had like now miles! This was a rental car! Trust me we couldn’t believe that exhaust ourselves 😂

[@cameronbedrava120]

its the active exhaust system on 2017+ models i believe

[@markmetzger6907]

After having 2 V8 Mustangs, 2 Trans Ams, Charger R/T, I bought a new 2022 Challenger R/T and I modded all of the prior cars, so I could not believe how amazing the stock exhaust sounded on my Challenger. Best sounding stock exhaust I have EVER heard!

[@TheWJC1987]

RT plus is the way to go

[@RatchetWrenches]

Hell yeah that thing was a beast!

[@is3180]

Nice ride there R many details the gt,rt,&sxt that i like., few months i picked up the 21 scat tA, personally i needed more 💪.

[@Noe-so2qx]

Would you recommend as a daily driver? Lets say I drive 25 miles to work and back? I currently have a v6 challenger, but all challenger drivers once they upgraded to a v8 they say get a v8

[@Patrick-gl4lu]

I drove an SXT for 3 years and it was a fun car . I averaged 28 mpg, but recently traded it in for an RT Plus and have no regrets. I'm averaging 24 mpg and the RT is a blast to drive.

[@marlostanfield1087]

Everyone and their moms drive these lol I would hate to drive one and see them all day up and down the streets

[@RatchetWrenches]

Marlo Stanfield true that’s just like the mustangs. I’m the same way I’d prefer to be unique and different lol

[@sweetness_5772]

I own a 2014, Challenger, R/T Plus, in TorRed. I, said it then and I'll say now. The R/T, sub model it's a lot more elegant than the Hellcat, and Scat Pack. This R/T, 5.7 liter Hemi, stood try it roots. The chrome filler door, chrome wheels, beautiful lines. The only thing that I don't like this model in the video is the hood. They should have kepted the same styled hood as the 2009 through 2014 model years. The hood is the same hood that they borrowed from the 392 SRT. Not much of a redesign if you ask me. This 2020, R/T, 5.7, Hemi, is badass looking.

[@casscassy9174]

Hey! I just got my 2020 RT yesterday. I can't seem to find the settings for the daytime orange halo lights. I had them on my 2016. Do you know if it has it? Thanks

[@RatchetWrenches]

Cass Cassy awesome congrats! Hmm I’m not sure, unfortunately we don’t own this car. If I were to guess that might be something aftermarket or coded into the system to allow the turn signals to act as the halo DRL. But I could be totally wrong! Just from being a tech and doing a lot of lighting stuff that’s my best guess. Goodluck!

[@casscassy9174]

It normally comes standard with all the cars. I had it on my last didge

[@bennyblocko4050]

Go to apps then settings then turn on daytime running lights wala orange halos. You're welcome.
