Review: 2021 Dodge Durango Hellcat - 710 HP Fun for the Whole Family!

I review the awesome 2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat which combines a supercharged HEMI V8 with a practical and roomy 3-row SUV to create the ultimate family vehicle for the muscle car enthusiast. While it doesn't come cheap (prices start at $82,490 including destination), it's the most powerful 3-row crossover you can buy, and being a one-year-only model, it's almost certain to become collectible in the future as well. What do you think of the Hellcat Durango? Thanks to Dodge for providing me with this opportunity!

[@mauriceetal1426]

@@DavidElCid300 stop hanging out with communists if you have a problem with them. I would stay away from fascists and racists too. I would like to even add 'chosen people' and those wishing destruction of the world so they can have heaven on Earth and judge us to hell. I've never met a communist.

[@DavidElCid300]

@@mauriceetal1426 Why would I hang out with a Marxist/Communist when that ideology is responsible for more hell, death and destruction than any other ideology throughout history? Well since the Democratic Party adheres to the ten planks of Karl Marx as he wrote then in the Communist Manifesto, I'm sure you met one. They tend to be vile, vulgar and violent. They are the Party of slavery both yesteryear and today. They have only used different tactics. They love killing babies and the entire abortion industry/Planned Parenthood was founded by the racist Margaret Sanger who wanted to reduce the black population. Thankfully though a lot of black people are learning the truth about that evil conniving deceiving slave and racist political party and leaving the Democratic Party. There's even a movement called BLEXIT, led by Candace Owens. Try meeting a Cuban who risked his life fleeing Communism. Try meeting a North Korean who was able to escape the Communists . Try meeting someone from Venezuela. Try meeting someone from a former Communist slave State in Eastern Europe. Try researching about the Communist slave campa in China. You better wake up because the proverbial crap is ready to hit the fan.

Svoon V u don't make sense to me

[@ChrisWalksFast]

Notice how when you do a full review of the car, not having a separate review for the interior, your view count goes up a ton. Sure, this is an exciting car, but I’m in the camp where I don’t want to watch 2 videos for one car so I then decide to not watch your video at all. I think you missed the mark with having 2 separate videos (interior and driving) for one car. Hope this advice reaches you and brings about change. The numbers don’t lie. Best of luck Matt, rooting for you.
