8 Things I HATE About My Dodge Charger R/T

[@antoniowashington1428]

I have a 2015 charger Rt b5 blue. It's a big step up from my 2007 Impala SS.

[@fenixchief7]

Anything 8 years newer would be a step up from that shitbox

actually for street use the R/T AWD option with a 3500 stall, Paramount Stage 2 Valve body, Transformers Shift kit, CAI, Tune will walk all over a SRT8 for far less money.

+RP Productions great review by the way. How much hp are you sitting on by the way? I put a cold air intake on mine and a flowmaster cat back exhaust with resonator delete on it.

[@RPProductions]

Thanks! I feel like I'm probably around 390hp to the crank judging by how much I pull on stock R/T's.

[@Bargainteers]

+RP Productions I have the 2009 charger R/T so I only get 368 hp. I threw on a Cold air intake and flowmasters with a cat back exaust. It definitely feels like I have more horsepower after that.

[@kubmir]

+Bargainteers go get yourself a Diablosport intune/predator. If you want to feel the real power of an r/t ( or srt) you need to go grab one for yourself. I have a 2010 R/T R&T I don't have the predator yet but it's coming...soon...

[@MrShAdy24]

I'm reading all the comments and is funny to me cause a lot people hate chargers for some reason I had a 2014 Ford Mustang gt and it was great till I starting getting problems with it! Now I have 2015 Dodge Charger rt see no difference performance wise granted my old mustang had more hp but it's nearly impossible to use the full penitential of your car in highway or street so people need to chill this ain't Gta smh

[@jonathanvillalba3214]

He said he got 15 MPG city/traffic driving and I personally would be happy with it. My current car does that on average and its only a V6

[@fenixchief7]

There are actually people that take these things to the tracks, fyi. Why buy a performance car if you don't care about performance? Just buy the v6 model if thats your Sunday driver lmfao

My one complaint about chargers is that every time one drives behind me I have to make out if its a cop or not. Especially all black chargers since those are favored by our detectives

[@blackice7408]

@@bellatorresbruh7900 well if they have the vented ootion and you select the auto climate option in the charger, whenever you remote start the car, the vented seats will turn on. That way when you get to the car, the leather will be cooled down a bit

Then you can get ceramic window tint, yeah costs more but damn is it a lot cooler on the inside...

[@AimlessMoto]

The two "main" competitors of that car are not the Mustang or the Camaro... it's the Chevy SS, and the Ford Taurus SHO... two big, heavy cars.

[@RPProductions]

+AimlessMoto while you are correct I didn't even bother looking at either of those cars when it came time for me to buy. The challenger and charger are practically the same car minus the difference in doors and styling. Engine options, suspension, and all other relevant components are almost all the same which is why I have no trouble comparing this to Mustangs and Camaros since they're all around the same price and speeds

[@AimlessMoto]

I always feel that the Charger is closer to a muscle Chrysler 300 than it is the Challenger, even though they're all practically on the same chassis. I keep pining over a Challenger, but for practicality, sake (as well as MSRP) I have a Charger RT AWD in mind for my next car. We'll see. I really don't like auto trans though.

[@brunoandrade4288]

+AimlessMoto I had a Charger R/T in 2012 and you are right, I compared with the 300 not with a 2 door coupe or 2 door muscle car at that time.

[@jonathanvillalba3214]

@@AimlessMoto i really dont like the 2015 and up models, they somehow managed to make them look like glorified family sedans. 2006 to 2014 look more like performance cars

Dodge would actually disagree with you considering they advertise it as America's only 4 door MUSCLE CAR lmfao. Nor do they make a 700hp SHO or SS from the factory. Damn it must be hard not having any fucking sense.

[@brunoandrade4288]

I sold my Charger R/T after 1 year for many reasons you just mentioned, such as gas mileage, etc.. You are right, wipes were awful, tires were not safe for the V8 RWD power-train and even the leather seats were not that great. I would add 2 other things to make it a 10. #9 Built Quality, after 7,000 miles I started to hear noises over 65 mph close to the glove box, like something was lose inside the dashboard. #10 The steering wheel feeling, very light even when you are stepping hard it keeps its behavior as if you were parking the car. The positive attributes are the Hemi V8, Interior/Trunk size, and its design.

[@kawaiipie5475]

Same

[@n-power-automotive]

Thanks for the video. I think it's a cool idea to do things you love and hate about your car. I have an '09 Charger R/T so to hear you complain about the steering wheel saying it looks like something that came out of 2007 or 2008 is funny because the previous generation Chargers have the huge truck steering wheels and are even more bland looking, although mine does at least have the bolsters at 10 and 2, so I guess that's a slight plus haha. Anyway I enjoyed the video. Going to watch your other one on 10 things you love. Happy motoring!

[@zachwilbert5680]

you don't like black cars? try white

[@jay32kool]

Do u know how to remove the shift knob to replace it with an aftermarket mopar knob?

[@TheTwitchGlitch]

I still don't see why people don't see that the charger and challenger are practically the same car. Same engine. Almost same everything. Times are fractions apart form each other. MOST other sedans cant compete. Excluding cars like the Cadillac cts-v which at that point could be considered a luxury car more than a sport. While dodges are on the heavy side they still put up numbers that compete with the camaro and stang until the higher end. Which is to be expected with the gear ratio in the charger/challenger. The 2 extra doors on the charger shouldn't put it out of the sports car group. That's like saying putting a campershell on the bed of a truck makes is an SUV or minivan. Now i'm not a die-hard dodge guy. I prefer the mustang but you cant deny that the numbers on the charger put it in the same class as the stang camaro and challenger. According to 0-60specs.com they are all around 4-5 seconds 0-60 *I am assuming these numbers are on a track*. I'm not saying that the charger isn't a sedan but the numbers put it in the sports/muscle car group.

[@narule2695]

ok First off Dodge puts more HP to the Ground then Ford or Chevy

[@masonhill8238]

Noah Rule yeah but they weigh as much as a yacht so the power is more of a selling point

[@fenixchief7]

Yeah, they need the extra power to compensate for the rest of the car...

[@King716]

TBH, the SD card port is pretty genius. You can load a shit ton of music onto a card and since its flash memory, its instant recall. Also, if i'm not mistaken, this allows you to upload some custom background pictures onto your menu display so you don't have to be looking that the stock GUI. It's not a bad little piece of tech but yeah the placement is kind of odd. would have served better if it was a bit more hidden.

[@Fawazalsobay]

the sd card position good in my opinion cause my all music and navigation and system update on it

[@DarrenWS6]

Great review man, long time fan of your reviews and your cars. I'm a big GM & Ford guy, sorta looking at the AWD R/T Chargers at the moment. My guess on the SD card under the radio would be also for Nav updates, I know thats how it is on the My Ford Touch systems.

[@googiefive]

i think that the sd card slot was made for music storage. When you really think about it, it isn't that bad of an idea to have like 16gb worth of songs pre loaded onto your car. it was probably designed to be an option for people who didn't want to deal with wires and didn't have a bluetooth phone. and also one more thing... did the sport mode come with the blacktop? because I've been trying to figure out why my 2012 rt doesn't have it?

[@RPProductions]

+googiefive Yeah I suppose that's a possibility although I don't know of anyone who actually uses it. But yeah I believe part of the blacktop package was the sport mode feature.

[@googiefive]

i agree with that. i had the same reaction as you when i first saw it. until my friend pointed out its use i didn't really see a point.

[@bcbw07]

+RP Productions Good Review. to add some validity to my comment Im an owner of a 2013 Chrysler 300. I had the choice between a same year RT or my current car. Better gas, more gears, leather, touch screen and a Beast system. The charger only match the touch screen but that engine was its party piece. Both good choices. I use the SD slot to hold over 11,000 songs and full audiobooks or podcast(The Smoking tire).

[@googiefive]

ahhh i was right! haha

I also own some dope cars insta: Adrian_demarco

Great Vid Man! That SD slot was right in line with me. I can record mixes right to an SD card off my Denon Prime 4 mixer. I was pleased to have this in my 2014 RT! I can understand if u don't use one on a normal basis.

[@SmokeyTheBear4409]

+Garret Burrow so if he had a 1000hp minivan he shouldn't compare it to a 750hp 350z? he should instead compare it to ole betty's stock caliber sitting in her driveway

+Garret Burrow well it does have 425 hp

[@hotblume]

+RP Productions Lol they don't compete. I have a friend with a full bolt on challenger RT and the best he has ran was a 13.3. Nothing to do with driver mod he has an automatic and tires. Stock 5.0s run 12.8 and they can even go 10s NA. Not to mention the new cameros are running low 12s stock. Sorry but these things don't hurt feelings.

[@raghibphotography873]

I own the exact same car. 2014 Charger R/T (from Canada) and I can tell you that I absolutely love the tires my vehicle came with. Michelin Energy brand I believe. My windshield wipers are perfect. I might need to replace them in the winter and use the stock ones again in spring (that's how much I like them) The SD card spot is my FAVORITE. Because I put all my music on SD card instead of bulky USB's that are in the center console (hard to get to not to mention). The SD card is always up to date, I can go in vehicle quickly eject it update the list on my mac and bring it to the vehicle again. The color black.... my favorite. It forces me to clean the car more frequently. I wouldn't ever get any color but black. I also love the cloth seats. I hate leather seats (they dry out, they cut / scratch easily. They are too hot in summer and too cold in winter.. not my taste at all) I liked your other video (10 things I like about my Charger r/t)

[@papajack2]

+RP Productions I just traded my 2011 Black Charger R/T MAX in on a 2016 Black R/T Road & Track. So I have a Charger R/T R/T The name sounds redundant. One item I miss most on the 2016, and it is not offered on any optional package, is the heated and cooled cup holders. The spoiled me. To make up for it, this car has vented front leather trimmed seats. You can feel it blow (2 fans per front seat) heated or cooled air up through the seat and seat back. It is great for a hot interior black car. My previous Charger I had some illegal in Florida 15% window tint applied all the way around plus a strip across the front with a cut out so that it would not interfere with the auto dimming headlights camera. I have the same 5.7 L engine but of course this year is the 8 speed and the Road & Track package included a 3.07 rear end, performance suspension, 3 mode electronic stability control and came with huge heave duty breaks. It takes corners great and stops short and straight. The electric steering has three feedback settings. It also has the Super Track Pak that includes Dodge Performance pages on the 8.4" radio, Nav, backup camera screen. It shows all kinds of settings and performance readings like 0 to 60, 1/8 mile 1/4 mile, stopping distance, launch engine speed setup and just some real neat things. What I wasn't told the Chargers don't have is a CD player in their Premium Sound Package. It does have an SD card slot but it is now located in the center console. My first charger came with the Firestone's and I had to laugh at your comments. They were made out of foam rubber. I might have got 15,000 miles on them. I never could get a good balance on them. I put some Michelin Pilot Sport on the car and they did real good, but they cost. This new Charger came with Goodyear 245/45X20. I was not told there was not a spare tire of any type, just a little compressor and some liquid sealant that is not supposed to hurt the tire pressure sensors. The tires are all season which I don't like living here in Florida, I don't need them. I could of had a more aggressive tread. This is not a super fast accelerating car and top speed has a 145 mph limiter where the 2011 had a 130 limiter. The 2016 is over all a very improved version of the 2011 with much nicer more rounded lines on it. The front grill is much more aerodynamic and the fun factor is much higher. It is a good sleeper car against someone who starts hard but not hard enough.

[@TCain-eu7uc]

The door checks on mine are annoying. The front doors never stay open in a good spot and they try to close on you. Also the car has quite a bit of roll after putting the 5 speed in park.

+enrique beltran Yeah if I could go back in time I would have bought the redline red but now the B5 Blue is my favorite on the 2015's. Black looks good when it's clean but yeah you do notice every little spec of dirt on it.

[@ZmbieTaco]

I've had my 13 charger rt for about 3 months and NEVER noticed the sd card slot before I saw this video. CD slot has that slight blue glow so I saw that but never the slot just above it.

[@innerlifetaker831]

How do I get that red strip on his door

[@balsero17]

Any electrical problems yet?

[@RPProductions]

+balsero17 None! I have yet to have any real issues with the car.

[@FHFOFJHE]

I believe they decided to use the SD card because it was more reliable in performing. My 08 RT can be picky about what usb thumb drive brand is used to upload music/photos. Droning is something that I noticed as you were driving; I think the 2015’s with the 8 speed does a better job of masking the drone noise (MDS).

[@RPProductions]

+FHFOFJHE the camera picks up a decent amount but in person it's really not bad and just sounds like a car with louder exhaust lol. But yes I've heard nothing but great things from the new 8 speeds, I'm looking forward to testing one out!

Have a 2014 R/T Plus, the interiors suck, and the 5 speed is sloppy. Otherwise love the car.

[@TheChance170]

I love my 8 speed in my 2015 Charger..main reason I got it. I really wanted a 14' but the transmission got me

[@chrisjohnson5909]

+CSiev17 Congratulations, Which trim did you get? RT (2.62 gears) or RT-Road and Track (307 gears)?

[@TheChance170]

+Chris Johnson I got a R/T Plus. So much fun to drive...Ive never had a car with padddle shifters until now and it is a blast!

[@chrisjohnson5909]

CSiev17 Man I haven't had a car with paddle shifters either that would be an experience for me, hows your mpg?

[@TheChance170]

+Chris Johnson im very impressed with my mpg. its about 19-20 city and about 23 an the highway. ive had it up to 25.5 before. cant beat that in a v8..im so happy with this car

[@chrisjohnson5909]

CSiev17 No you cannot beat that all..Thats excellent. I appreciate the feedback again, you have been very helpful.

[@olds97lss]

SD is for mp3's. I have a 16GB sd in my 300c at the moment full of mp3's. Getting the stupid usb out of the center console is annoying to use when sitting. I put a cable in the usb so my wife could charge her phone when on road trips. I have a 2 port usb in the dash 12v plug for my phone which is on a mount in my air vent to use waze and keep my phone charged. Quick and easy to swap out the SD.

[@Martinezm0500]

Hey cool video yeah my 2014 RT I just got has black Leather Black top Edition

[@F6HemiCharger]

The tires on the Mazda6 are pretty bad too. So much road noise. I think all manufacturers are cheaping out more than usual.

[@joerabon13]

I'm right there with you, I had a 06 RT and loved it, just decided it was time for an upgrade and got 2015 RT which I also love, and the 8 speed transmission is way better than the 5 speed in my 06! I can sympathize with you on the black paint, both have been Black simply because nothing looks as mean as a CLEAN black car :-) but it is a pain to keep up! I will probably be a charger owner for life!

[@ceckfabregas]

+Joe R Would you say the RT is reliable ? Like Lexus level of reliability ? I'm thinking of buying a 2012 Charger RT, and I'm just wondering if that thing would last to 200k miles and doesn't overheate/breakdown much often.

[@motorcityman401]

+Klaus Like LEXUS reliability? No. But, it should last 150,000 miles or more with regular maint. and it has much more character and isn't as boring as a run of the mill Lexus sedan......which looks like 10 other Japanese high end sedans on the market.

[@01trsmar]

+Klaus Reliable YES,better than imports...I had 130,000 on mine (was totalled) but people I know have over 200,000 and RAM trucks with the HEMI have 350,000 miles on the original engine..Chrysler has the most vehicles in the 200,000 mile club ! Have to be 1 owner etc..but original..They don't overheat...like any car if the radiator is plugged or leaks due to no maint and lots of miles ,it may overheat then might break,like any car..These don't overheat...bulletproof reliable ! When you buy used with any car you are taking a chance,if it was beat on with burnouts flying over curbs/bumps driving like an idiot all the time,low on oil due to never changing it or checking it,then you bought a lemon..

[@angelzepeda2991]

I love charger rt!! I want this car😍

[@jberry855]

Yep. That's one reason why I didn't get the 2014 model. The inside looks real cheap. I hate the way the steering wheel and shifter looks.

[@jmethlouthi]

Sounds like you should have waited till 2015. Trade it in for a 15 or 16. The Challenger is a competitor for the Camaro and mustang, not the charger.

[@jmethlouthi]

The charger is heavier and is in the family sedan class. It's main competition is the Ford Taurus, Chevrolet impala, Honda Accord etc...

[@jmethlouthi]

+WarmSoftKitty here is the 2016 SS which is an impala. m.chevrolet.com/ss-sports-sedan.html#.VqZWysnTnqA also look up the Taurus SHO with the ecoboost v6.

[@jmethlouthi]

+WarmSoftKitty Camaro is a 2 door sports coupe. Mustang is a 2 door sports coupe. challenger is a 2 door sports coupe. I said that the charger is not in the same auto class as the mustang or Camaro. the guy in the video did. you're the moron for not reading properly or paying attention to the video. BTW I have a 15 charger RT and it is listed as a family sedan regardless of it being a rwd v8.

[@jmethlouthi]

+WarmSoftKitty 300 is considered a luxury sedan. Charger a family sedan and the challenger is a 2 door sports coupe. It doesn't matter that they have the same motor/Trans and features. they are all in different vehicle classes. Would you call a Ford Econoline 150 van and a Ford F150 truck the same based on having a triton v8 motor and similar interior? No because one is a van and one is a truck. Different vehicle classes.... go back to playing forza on your Xbox

[@brettrainville6943]

+Jamal Methlouthi your such a fuckface buddy. The charger is not a family car for Godsakes they even got a hellcat model and v8's in them lmao they're pure AMERICAN MUSCLE just like the other stangs corvettes etc lol you must be a fan of toy imports ;)

[@DetoxEb]

love the video, i agree fully with what you are saying, For the interior, I like it more then the challenger, it was the one reason why I got a charger instead of a challenger, the challenger had a very crappy interior for that year.

[@RPProductions]

+Eric Yoface Agreed! That's what I liked about the Chargers too!

[@UnvarnishedTarnished]

Have you considered plasti-dipping the car. Even if its still black you can do the whole car for less than $1000(generally) and its a matte material so it doesn't get nearly as dirty

[@RPProductions]

+Zach Pennington haha yeah I've thought about it but I really do enjoy the black, just a pain to keep it shiny all the time but I do my best.

[@FnVir]

+RP Productions how about matte black plasti dip

[@RPProductions]

I'm not a huge fan of matte black for an entire car's color. I also would rather not spend the money/time on it and continue saving up for future fun stuff! :)

[@b.shoemaker2806]

He talked about MPG? He is a Dodge owner right? They never talk about how bad the mileage is. After all Dodge could build an electric car that get two miles to the gallon.

[@spike1498]

[@michaelkhoury5181]

I got a 2015 Charger R/T so I was curious to see what this video said... seeing this is about the 2014 model some things don't apply; they definitely did improve the steering wheel and the shifter in the 2015 model, though my complaint about the steering wheel is that the material is far too soft; it barely skimmed my jeans one time and ever since it now has a very easy to feel "scrape" on the bottom of it. They upgraded the 5-speed to an 8-speed transmission, though many have had some odd shifting troubles with it, myself included. The firestone firehawks I agree have got to be the worst tires I've ever driven on; went to take a left turn when it was barely a little moist outside and damn near started doing donuts at ~20mph! For the love of god what were they thinking?! Put some Pirellis or Falkens or... seriously, ANYTHING else on this car. As far as the SD Card... well, the old system used to have its own hard drive and USB slot you could copy from but they changed the mygig system around since then; they did put it in a more discreet location in the 2015 model (in the back of the inside of the center console/armrest) and I for one like that they at least provided SOME way to put your own custom music / playlists into the car, but they REALLY botched documenting it in ANY way shape or form! I had to scour google to figure out that in order for it to recognize "playlists" you need to make a text file with a .m3u extension on it that's a list of all the files you want to be in the "playlist"... I don't see what was wrong with just treating folder = playlist like they did before, but hey as long as it works.

[@ryanroberts9995]

I have a 2011 Charger RT Max. It was my dream car and I love it to death. Only complaints that don't make it a perfect 10 in my book is the stock exhaust, could use more power out of the 5.7 in Stock form, and the transmission. My car was never offered with paddle shift and really my biggest complaint is that it was never offered in a manual. other than that the car is great. Power and exhuast are easy. transmission not so much.

[@RPProductions]

+Ryan Roberts does the 2011 RT Max have the 3.06 gears as well?

[@ryanroberts9995]

No it has 2.61 gears.

[@RPProductions]

Ah ok! Yeah the 3.06 gears really liven up the car and I feel like they should be the standard gears among R/T's.

[@saulanaya4123]

You use the sd card like to upload pics on you screen or stuff like that

[@lmfscrew]

6.4 is a strong motor, 5.7 not so much...bolt on 3.7 stang make rt owners sweat.

[@RPProductions]

+lmfscrew While the 6.4 is indeed the stronger motor, the 5.7's are the current workhorse for Dodge - Example being used in their trucks, etc - Just like the 5.0 is for Ford in their trucks/mustangs, and have proven themselves quite well. There's a review here on the channel of a bolt on/tuned 3.7 mustang, him and I have raced many times and he keeps up well but it's still not enough to make me sweat.

[@spartynation24]

[@joshuaking5672]

VQ3713 they actually came with the 5speed

[@LastHumansGarage]

i looked at the newer R/Ts a lot of times before i bought a couple superbees. the steering wheel is the #1 thing that is a nice step up in the superbee/srt. (!! after the engine of course !!)

[@RPProductions]

+LastHumansGarage I agree, the steering wheel in the SRT is so much nicer!

[@LastHumansGarage]

+RP Productions I still love chargers.. but would never buy one again. Reason being, the only one I could buy is an SRT after having the superbees. (That they don't make anymore.) and I priced the SRT tonight, $60k.. just doesnt make sense when you get get a new WRX for $30k like i have, make it stage 2 for $1500, and be pretty close in power and have better handling than the SRT. Only thing you are missing is the sweet engine note. But I miss my superbees a lot anyway.. videos of them on my channel if interested. Even that R/T "scat pack" if they still make those is $48k - $52k easy.. just not worth $18k more than my Subaru to me..

[@RPProductions]

+dsalaz04 Haha yeah I've thought about that and I've also thought about wrapping it for more of a long-term solution but I don't want to go to the hassle/spending the money on it. Plus I really like the way black looks (when it's clean) so I just try to clean it frequently and enjoy it that way.

[@Sackmatters]

Think about how hard it is to keep a car clean here. I live in Alaska so black is almost a no go and still everything else is hard to keep clean.
