Review | 2018 Dodge SRT Durango | Protein Shake Hauler

[@TheStraightPipes]

Why do American visors sound so much better than Canadian visors?

[@GavinHolle]

Because Freedom

[@savagegeese]

+TheStraightPipes Because they are digital, and connected to 4G LTE. They are also touch sensitive, have 16 ECUs and have a seperate battery. Clearly superior to the old visors that were just basic.

[@noneofyourbuisness7]

They're laced with the tears of a bald eagle while it's being sung the national anthem.

[@littlesimpson2]

You guys are obsessed with visors!!

[@TheKaisarwilhelm]

because gun laws.

[@rkalla]

Swinging door shot to dash was very slick!

[@ramielsayed7401]

Totally!!

[@BrendanPJames]

Smart to mount the camera on the dash with the door closed and then open the door to start the shot

[@waderedsox]

the doorcam was wicked cool, i like that alot

[@chitterlingsrtasty]

waderedsox music was nice as well in that intro.

[@jimsideris8843]

Very good review. Nice work.

[@botdingo]

That intro was sick as fuck with the camera matching right up with the gauges. With that music it gave me chills lol

[@slinetty]

Hell yeah! I watch a lot of his videos and wasnt expecting that.

[@XxXKARLx]

I was thinking the same. Intro was on point! and music!

[@botdingo]

Michael Citron, agreed but I dont think Shane meant his comment in a bad way. I wasn't expecting this either, though Goose always surprises me in a good way when his production quality makes a new leap forward.

[@HeavyProfessor]

Best car reviews ever. Extreme level of technical knowledge and brand savvy. Concise and integrated focus on consumer-level concerns. Dry humor. You’ve get everything.

[@rkalla]

ROFL when you rushed back to the 2nd row, sort of eagerly put on the headset (I was thinking hmm, really excited to show the Uconnect theater stuff off..) and then started to mess with belt and then quick cut away - dying laughing when I realized the implication :)

[@antoinepageau8336]

All that was missing is a box of tissues. Love the sense of humour.

[@CaptianKeyz]

he did say he was having a great time in the backseat.

[@nicholaselliott8105]

Ok good bc I was like I hope I’m not crazy and just thinking too deep 😂😂😂😂

[@uv4jjj]

Just took a sip of coffee at this scene and almost did a spit take lol!

[@nabatron21]

He bought to wip it out

[@heavy379]

Keep the gauge intro, very smooth

[@motopolak]

Yeah I absolutely loved that

[@billguyette6585]

Sidious1 ;

[@davidcanada2000]

awesome door closing opening shot! Really innovative!

[@zefolantar]

“Got Butt Hair?” on the center display was a classic!! 👍 Your reviews are simply amazing! #1 on KZbin by a wide margin. savagegeese is cooking!!!!

[@DiscoFang]

mmmm goosefat

[@MrRandomcommentguy]

Dodge makes some of the best looking cars and SUV's these days

[@pr.458]

That swinging door intro is sick

[@JacobMueller]

That straight pipes reference was awesome. Another great channel with not enough viewers.

[@RK1FX]

Jacob Mueller got any cool ones? please let me know.. im sick of those over hyped youtubers

[@JacobMueller]

Petrolicious, Praemio, Everyday Driver, Motrosport AU (a good racing channel), Valkyr, Throttle House, AMMO NYC (detailing channel but his 4 part series on his porsche rebuild is worth a watch). If you have anything good not on that list, lmk!

[@RK1FX]

Jacob Mueller wow thanks, some of these I know. Do please check out. Roads Untraveled, Davide Cironi (italian with subtitles, but great content). Living Life Fast (LLF). and there is a great italian pov driver Riccardo (forgot his last name)

[@gladdy02]

Jacob Mueller meh, not so sure about that. I find them kind of annoying really

[@gladdy02]

Jacob Mueller🤣

[@1474wilson]

Your deadpan humour is killer! Loving your videos!! Keep up the great work!!

[@VortexVibe634]

You are the most underrated car reviewer on KZbin, shame people can appreciate your hard work, your humor and your vast knowledge about cars, have been a sub for at least 3 years and have always enjoyed all your videos

[@kademalcolm3846]

Intro camera angle was legit! Well done.

[@directorjustin]

You can put all your favorite touch screen functions, like the heated seats, on the lower panel for quick access.

[@mustafamufasa]

I'm glad that a car like this exists. Thank you Dodge.

[@henke103]

I fucking love your content. The high quality filming, and the fucked up humor. You're the man, keep them vids coming.

[@suilujre777]

that shot with the door closing on intro was amazing

[@mblack1993]

That door closing intro was so sick. I love you.

[@kingsnakedmd]

First, your reviews are great. I owned a similar concept 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT. I put 42K miles on it. It was amazing at pulling my wife's 6,000 pound boat, especially out of boat ramps. I once backed the trailer off of the end of a boat ramp so that the trailer tires were off of concrete and in a hole and the metal of the trailer was dragging on the ramp. The SRT, with its 3-season Pirelli tires dragged the trailer with boat on it on the concrete until the tires were back on concrete. Absolutely amazing traction and way better in that specific predicament than a Super Duty Ford or equivalent with greater towing capability but lesser traction. But the tires were also my biggest complaint on my SRT. I needed new rear tires every 12K miles and new front tires every 15K miles. Those tires were about $700 each and there were no available alternatives. Also, it seemed with the fast wear of the performance tires that they were constantly out of balance. 3,000 miles in on new tires and the Jeep would start vibrating on my infrequent trips on the interstate. While the cost of gas is mentioned as a downside to these vehicles, the cost of tires has to be considered too. After we bought my wife a truck so that she could tow her own boat, I traded my Jeep in for a boring, 7 passenger, station wagon (Lincoln MKT) to haul the family and a ND Miata for my fun car. I can't financially justify going back to something like the Durango SRT, though such vehicles are fun and capable.

[@BrvndonK]

Such a solid reviewer.

[@sukhdiprai7783]

blurs speed at 25:00....my man

[@Touristingreen]

Never get sick of that door cam

[@tsav6952]

That is one wicked hauler! Wow! Great review and video as always!

[@stevee8318]

Finally, an SUV I can plug my VCR into!

[@daniellesh1782]

Never have I ever seen a door cam closing to the dash. Coolest opening I've ever seen for a car review. Looked like straight out of a movie

[@PurgatoryPriest]

"My lady friend, Regina" 😂 Savage! You're certainly the most entertaining car reviewer here on KZbin, if not anywhere. You give lots of great tips and knowledge to bat. Good stuff all around.

[@bestpilot98]

Laughed my ass off at the 5min, 0 second mark! y'all always produce informative videos, with a twist....keep 'em comin'!

[@Drofyar15]

You’re videos are one of a kind. I love the shoppe sections of every video. No other auto reviewer thought to show the underbody/chassis of the cars in detail like you did. Please continue! They’re very informative. Plus in 4K!? 👌🏾👍🏾 I look forward to more videos with hopefully gmc, chargers, chevys, etc. keep it up!

[@greezay]

Who else here is just glad that the "In the Shoppe" segments says WITH Scott Turbowski? Glad he's back.

[@ninevahkeith]

Rob Myers me too

[@gsheverything_2716]

The cinematic in this review is epic guys, where are the viewers???

[@1SmokingLizard]

watching Doug's crap

[@joetarrant99]

That into sequence was awesome. The door cam, music, using the gauge cluster and animation. All really cool!

[@SgtStinger]

That shot in the beginning of the instruments - sooo good.

[@erike7297]

To me.. Dodge has some of the best overall styling throughout all there vehicles.

[@eddy5750]

The designs(generation) are super old on almost all of them though. I do like how they’re like fuck it, let’s see if we can fit the 6.4(edit 6.2) in everything lol

[@Swift-Gaming]

Your intro sequence in this review was stunning in terms of both editing and camera work. Magnificent work!

[@jsboening]

The full size spare tire is there as part of the tow package. You want it if you’re towing something heavy and get a flat.

[@nickyp7596]

Your production quality is pretty much unmatched in this segment man. Love the reviews, keep up the good work

[@houndogforever]

Everybody knows SRT stands for Spins Rear Tires.

[@diydrivenGA]

props for that swinging door intro....better license that or something, it's really cool!

[@L1GHT119]

Your reviews are great bro!!! Definitely invest the time money and energy to do it right. Thank you!! Are you gonna be doing a Stinger GT soon?

[@james2042]

24:56, you could tell he easily made it to 90mph in that time frame, you can somewhat remotely see the dial get past half way. That is a fast god damn vehicle

[@ocu7243]

Why have I not found this channel sooner

[@NOSCAM]

the most comprehensive reviewer i ever seen

[@Richiepratt]

Cant wait for the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk review!!

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Damn that intro was seamless 👌👌 always was curious about the Durango. Nice vid

[@therealpickleahoy]

Man the Geeese strokes me just right sometimes... that intro with the camera aligned with the dashboard upon shutting the door... I was legit moist.

[@jdlarson11]

I’ve Owned a 2014 Jeep SRT, the transmission and engine combination are epic.

[@electricfan4794]

your reviews keeps getting better and better

[@jlucguerrier]

I didn't want this video to ever end. Well done!

[@BloodSeeker117]

I jumped on this as soon as I saw a savagegeese video reviewing a Durango. and I wasn't disappointed! Great work as always!

[@victoroliveira3256]

Is that headvisor shotgun sound an expensive option?

[@seantaylor2683]

Oh yeah! It'll cost you an arm and a leg :P

[@zappah2818]

$750 option

[@gonzo221]

I just want to call out the fact that your production quality has been on point lately. I appreciate the amount of work you're clearly putting into your videos. Thank you for the great content. I have no doubt that your channel will blow up soon. And awesome call out to thestraightpipes!

[@bcuz2975]

I like the chrome trim. My Durango hugs the asphalt the way I want it to. I’m Use to all unconnect and tech pack. I like the dial shifter. Not any warranty repair required. So high marks on reliable and build quality. Who complains about having a spare tire.

[@shanemathews4177]

these guys complain about everything

[@tractorback76]

You're on my wavelength on humor and just way you talk!! "Beta cam, VCR" bad ass!!

[@TheCody254]

Such a bad ass truck! This is the only real suv in the segment

[@StrykerWolf92]

270 is not outside the normal operating range for Synthetic oil. There's a reason it requires a full synthetic 0-40. Same with the coolant, Hemi's run at temperatures higher than you normally see in other vehicles. Every vehicle is not bound by the same standards.

[@maxxjettfilms6322]

You imagine driving this with kids and flooring it for entertainment. The kids will yell to stop it because you are making it hard for them to be entertained by their devices

[@thatf_inguy8220]

maxxjett films maybe your kids. Mine love when I floor it and I drive a slow ass CX-9. I’m lucky they haven’t gotten me pulled over

[@maxxjettfilms6322]

ThatF_inGuy lol my kids actually get scared when i floor mine, but then they want to do it again. Its fun.

[@stevehajewski6264]

I have the RT. One day I nailed it to pass a slower driver and my young mostly non-verbal child raised his fist and cheered. To which my wife looked at me and said "How often do you do that with the kids on the car?" It's fun to drive but I am probably going to regret the example I am setting when they start to drive. Great production value by the way, nicely done review.

[@Srtlover-ic5sh]

maxxjett films not if your kids are into cars too

[@omegabeta3305]

My kids are scared at my 4.0L town and country lol

[@jimparsons61]

Any Dodge car that is not a hell cat that has A 392 SRt engine in it should be and is called a scat pack. Why didn't they call that the Durango SRT Scat pack ?

[@zackhassam7394]

dude your videos keep getting better and better

[@zappah2818]

Loved the opening sequence with the door closing.

[@testosteroneinc.3800]

Have a good Christmas Mr Goose😎

[@JulezWinnfield]

I'm not sure what was about to happen at the 05:00 videomark. Reclining with the video headphones and the trousers unbuckling...wth? I can only imagine how uncomfortable the front seat passengers would be on a long road trip with that type of second row debauchery taking place.

[@jmv2015]

I've never been a Chrysler product fan, but the SRT vehicles and R/T (including pickups) are very cool !

[@pontiacGXPfan]

basically this is a Magnum SRT8 on stilts

[@brightbear7183]

the door slam + instrument cluster intro is very clever.

[@PretentiousBrownie]

Man oh man, the want is real. FCA's notoriety for lack of quality and poor reliability aside, I need something like this in my life. There's just so much about the Durango SRT that makes sense to an enthusiast; you have the power on tap, you have the traditional N/A V8, you have American simplicity and size, it's plenty capable and versatile, and although it can be loud and aggressive, it still has a certain understatement to the look that you don't get with a lot of the more mainstream SUVs and whatnot.

[@soxfunny98]

Actually Mopars have won 11 quality awards the last 2 years. Durango, 1500 Ram, Charger, Challenger, 2500 Ram etc..... Look it up

[@james2042]

I drive an 08 Grand Cherokee with a gen 1 5.7 and the cylinder deactivation works just fine and I don't mind it at all. I don't even feel it. The reactivation is honestly seemlesss. It will only take a few rotations to reactivate and since its normally only on at like 1500rpm, it means a small fraction of a second, like less than .2 seconds. If this really bothers you then you have bigger issues than that. Also that spare is for when you're towing and get a flat because towing is strictly a nogo on runflats. Side note, speaking of that 5.7, a Durango RT will look practically identical and while not as fast or as sporty, its still a 360hp 390tq V8 that still hauls ass and can still tow 7200.

[@fieldsfury]

YES!! Finally! I have been waiting on this review! Thank you!

[@jwagner1993]

The door can on Intro moment makes this film one of the best of youTube by far. I'll buy one after that intro!

[@chitterlingsrtasty]

This is probably the best review on this monster.

[@lastyledotch]

A really appreciate how serious and detailed the review is made... as well as the part underneath the car (the buttom part). Thank you !!!

[@nathanmaynard131]

You are able to get the heated/cooled seats and steering wheel on the favorites bar at the bottom so you don’t have to go in a menu to do it. You can put anything on the favorites bar at the bottom. It’s completely configurable

[@rinkrat4459]

Another great review Mr Geese, honest, funny, informative, and totally different from the mainstream

[@tonyperkis9561]

Favorite car reviewer! Much better than soyfan or Mr. Saab. Turbowski and all the dry humor. Love it! I need more vw reviews plz..

[@tony2767]

I had to stop and comment on how you were about to pleasure yourself watching the rear LCD entertainment screen...... priceless!! I really like your style of humor.

[@kennethc.bishop7090]

That's the coolest looking stock rear diff I've ever seen.

[@kovy2005]

Sweet intro, digging it. That was a nice shot with the camera on the door.

[@leonardrice2830]

Scott said, "An array of exhaust spouts..." 😄 Hilarious!

[@edkelly145]

Swinging door shot was the bomb!

[@ziva4184]

The best car journalist on either side of the Mississippi💪

[@maxxjettfilms6322]

I like your reviews, you got yourself a sub!

[@spiranca]

This channel is not just reviews, you're watching the tip of the iceberg.

[@spiranca]

It's your turn?

[@shanemathews4177]

pretty good review, but your whining about the using the uconnect system was quite annoying. I've used it and it is very easy to use, especially compared to most high end vehicles.

[@Nickzilla84]

Weird my screen doesn’t lag and the seat heaters or coolers have a separate option real easy or when you turn the truck on you can do it on the boot up screen or like mine I have it set to automatic at certain temps.

[@EUROCARGUY]

The only thing that I hate about new FCA products, is the fact that both gauge clusters and infotainment displays are overwhelmed by the information. They need to work on a design and the user interface. I do, however, love that they decided to make crazy cars like Grand Cherokee Track Hawk or Durango SRT.

[@smashingartful]

Awesome review. And that opening gauge shot was insanely cool.

[@tehyayoung7736]

my mom has a Durango and the plastic silver liner is fine he's being a little over dramatic about this.... and he was saying you have to bend to put the seats back up. A SMALL amount of exercise never hurt any one.

[@shanemathews4177]

yeah i thought the review was ruined by his comments on the plastic and the uconnect system. just seemed unprofessional, distracting

[@msbtennis]

Loved the opening sequence. Nice work.

[@GiantTurkS]

Good way to show a cold winter Monday Morning who's the boss

[@darksideemt]

Great vid as always! Loved the shutting door intro. Hope you guys have a great holiday

[@ultradaves]

Would love to own this family hauler. What is your view on Dodge Durango reliability? Build quality? My main concern in buying this and the Charger Hellcat is how much time I am going to spend in the shop. Any advice?

[@soxfunny98]

It won A NUMBER OF QUALITY AWARDS. JUST LOOK UP CHRYSLER/ DODGE QUALITY AWARDS. THERE ARE 11 THE LAST 2 YRS. I BELIEVE THE BEST. THEY HAVE BEEN GOING UP THE LAST 8 YRS AGAIN JUST LIKE THE 50s, 60, s and early 70,s

[@lonewolf74]

i was stateside in november and anytime i saw one of these, i had to turn around and take a second look. A good looking vehicle.

[@JJPhilosophy]

The charger face looks good

[@gtam9981]

Great filming/editing work on the intro.

[@R1val909]

You spend allot of time on these. Wow man this review was great

[@tolane76]

This is the best review on the 2018 Durango SRT so far on KZbin. With the fuel penalty I'm thinking the 2018 Durango RT may be a better deal???

[@ThinkDifferentish]

You have to decide if 3 MPG is worth 200HP.

[@jasonguy6572]

ugh. no way!

[@robfrmny21]

Ivan Übermensch real world driving is more then 2 mpg penalty

[@user-cx2bk6pm2f]

I went with the Citadel version with the Hemi. Love the SRT but I needed more highway range, like 500 miles per tank.

[@CELTICS7777]

Amazed you don't have more subs. Your reviews are like movies

[@EDHBlvd]

Production value on point man! 👌

[@killaco23]

Ever since I seen this I have wanted one for my family. Great review and thanks very much for covering it.

[@tdkleffman]

interesting review! would love to hear your thoughts on a charger scat pack which has basically this same powertrain.
