Agreed! Depending on your driving, you will get similar MPGs. If you are driving city, V6 will help a lot. If you are driving highway, honestly they get similar due to MDS. They both have their share of problems. Both platforms have about equal amount of problems, but different for each. Love them both! I could not afford an R/T yet so I got a GT Plus. I have done a cold air intake (mainly for sound) and a 80mm HEMI throttle body and it is noticeably faster now! I will have to get a 0-60, but it definitely pulls at 3500 rpm more!

I have a 2020 Durango GT AWD, Tow-N-Go package, in Reactor blue. I wanted one of the 3 lighter colors. For dealing with sun induced heat. The Reactor Blue gets plenty of compliments though. On bumpy mountain highways like CA-17 between San Jose, CA and Santa Cruz. The Durango with the Tow-N-Go package, drives much better than a Challenger or Charger. The 2021 dash is so nice an upgrade. I am tempted to trade the 2020 in for a 2021. But I manage my money better than that. The Tow-N-Go package has a good balance between performance and economy. I get about 22mpg at 80mph, 26mpg at 70mph, and 31mpg at 60mph. In many states, the Durango is classified as a truck. We have a 2016 Ram 1500 Quadcab 4wd and a 2018 Ram 2500 Crewcab 4wd. The Durango is very useful for going to places that have parking garages. Since the Rams do have a height clearance issue in many parking garages. The Hellcat SRT does have a nice acceleration factor. But our Ram 2500 is an absolute brute for power. With the 6.7L Cummins.

Did he put the v6 in sport mode. I noticed a difference in sports mode. And yeah you can get the 10 inch screen. But honestly durangos are hard to find used like this where im at. Im getting a new one in 2 more years. I have 2020 gt plus love it. Dont know if i want the v8. Definitely more than 5k price difference used. Like a 10 price difference used

I want to see towing a 5000 lb trailer on highway up and down hills. They rate it at 7000 for v6? But real world testing compared to hemi. Is it worth hemi over 6 I had a Chevy 5.3 full size van and had to hold it in 3 rd or 4 th to maintain highway speed on hills. I also have a caravan with the pentestar 6 good engine but 289 HP at almost max rpm don’t know about towing w/v6 Durango

I bought a Dodge Mini van for the fam. We loved it & that started some shit with Dodge. Moved on to the Durango. And probably continue on to an SRT/redeye/demon 🤷🏼♂️ or whatever goofey shit they put out when we buy the next one. Awesome whips. Fun to drive.

What a coincidence! I was working with them about a Super Stock...that they forgot was an ordered car. Theyre trying to get me one now...in 2022...(ha, not happening, I know) Still. I was trying to work with a dealer to get a SS, and a GT AWD Challenger for mom. I feel safer with her in that in the winter, not the Scat Pack. (can you tell I got her to love Mopar, hard? lol)

Interesting video. Ultimately they want to remove all car anyways. But yeah, i'm watching this while wondering if I buy a Durango or GolfR. I don't like the weight of the durango, but from experience, I'll have more fun with the durango because I'll have more friends willing to hope in to go somewhere. Yeah, here in canada, I have noticed that whenever we commute together, we always take the car of friends with the biggest car even if we would be perfeclty fine in the smaller one and save on fuel. It doesn't matter. What is even crazier is that this rule is automatic. There isn't even a discussion or a debate, people naturally agree on the biggest car without saying a word. This apply even when they never met before. It is a silent rule here. Hence, why I'm considering the durango. Nice to haul friend and kids.

Wow that seems like pretty bad estimated mpg. Lol my 2017 Durango R/T AWD with bigger Nitto Grappler G2’s does better than that 14 city and 22 highway. Unless I am letting my Dango sit and idle for a few hours per tank I could even race it around and not touch 14mpg at worst. Average is upper teens with off-road tires, was 21mpg average with the Pirelli highway tires

We just bought a R/T and I'm having some *slight* regrets after seeing this video. I love the car, but I wish we would of looked around more carefully for the right option package. The captain chairs are nice, but mine has the upgraded center console so my kids have a harder time getting to the back. Also, the I don't have the upgraded leather seats, I would of traded the 2nd row console for those. We also don't have the blacktop or trailer hitch options, and instead have a moonroof (which was around $1000). The blacktop package looks great with that color scheme, but I already have a black car with black interior, and I kind of like the contrasting chrome wheels.
@jamesmc80553 жыл бұрын
I've read you can convert your console to a non-console by replace the second row console with the flat dual cup holder piece. It's not a perfect conversion, but it works.
