178000 miles on my 2008 3.5l v6 Charger. I DRIVE IT (always take the racing line) every-single-day, as my commute is my gotdang Zen moments… Block, pistons, rockers, lifters, cams, transmission, body are all strong and show no signs of imminent failure. Issues are as expected: bushings, struts and shocks, a/c, timing, injectors, sensors here and there, etc… Still cheaper to fix (annually) than buying something newer, and fixing that!
Awesome ride there. I got my 2014 Challenger RT Classic in February 2019 for $24k and it had 17,000 miles on it. Has 35,000 now and general maintenance has been done when needed (oil changes, etc). Not had any problems other than me smiling ear-to-ear when driving it. These 5.7s are better than what people say they are.
I have a 2014 Charger SXT with 140,000mil (225,000km) and it runs great. As long as you keep up with regular maintenance and take care of it, you’ll be fine
Happy to hear your real-life real use review w/o all the puffed chest muscle talk. I bought a 2011 R/T *Max* last year, 11 years old with only 44k on it & not a single ding anywhere, looks brand new in & out. Redline red outside, black leather inside. Definitely a garage queen. Looking fwd to many more miles. 😉
Really reliable cars and super easy to fix. Don't ever get rid of it! Hemi engines are way too easy to work on. If you ever need to do head gaskets, screw paying $1500 to $2000 for that. it'll cost you about $400 TOPS to do it yourself. First time mechanic can do it. Just have to pay close attention to what you do.
@@ben-qi9jk First of all, I work on them. Second of all, ive owned two of them, with the first one I owned, reaching 175k miles with not a single part needing to be replaced. Then a semi truck hit me and totaled it. Third of all, look at all the happy Hemi owners in the comment box whos barely had to do anything to them. Fourth of all, they are easy to work on for ANY mechanic and anybody else that works on them will say the same exact thing. This is a fact. So no, its not based on experience. You’re literally saying that, to somebody that works on cars. I can put a whole list of cars together that 1) suck & 2) arent easy to work on. Also, We dont even know if you have EVER even owned a Hemi. Cars are MY passion.
Someone i know has 186,000 miles on their hellcat. My cousin has 106,000 miles on her srt8 challenger inaugural edition. It annoys me when people say these new generation dodges arent good because they are. Besides basic maintenance if u take care of it it will 99/100 take care of u
Bro my 2015 scat had full engine failure at 40k miles, replaced by dealer there warranty, two weeks later failed again cus they used faulty gaskets so it blew gaskets, drive shaft failure at 73k miles, lost all power as the PDC completely failed. Rear end issues. They tried making me pay thousands for that It’s good now but was a nightmare. Has 101k on it now
I got a 5.7 hemi in my Jeep GC 2016, over 40k miles & never had a single issue with it. Really good engines imo. I've changed my own differential fluids, brake fluids, oil, etc (Not that it was necessary, but I like being proactive in that aspect) & never ran into any issues 💯
remember if your new to dodges they are powerful and if your young especially start with a v6 or RT because controlling the better modals can be dangerous if your used to slower cars. had a friend who got scat pack from a jeep Cherokee and coming out the dealer hit two cars in oncoming lanes because the gas pedal gave him that power that he didn't expect.
Wife has 150k on her 2015 R/T Challenger. All I've really done is oil changes. Had EGR replaced and I've done brakes twice. Car has always been reliable for us. When I had to drive it when my car was down I could never get better than 24.5 mpg and that was all highway miles.
I've been seeking a charger r/t from 11-14 Era, I wish they had the 8 speed transmission but I love the look of that gen so much. Thanks for the info in this video!
I drive a 2006 daytona rt with 152,000kms and it is running like a champ. Hasn't given me any shit beside doing regular general maintenance like flushing fluids, oil changes, allignments, etc.
I also bought my scatpack challenger used with 21k miles got a steal on it, now has 35k miles no problems at all. Paid 32,000 plus tax. Replaced the water pump under warranty the steering wheel squeaks other than that perfect. The uconnect screen can have delamination issues aswell sometimes. Other than that mechanically these cars are great
Glad to see your experience. I just bought a 2021 Chrysler 300 S with the 5.7, and I really would like to hold on to it. I also got an 8 yr./100,000 mile warranty that covers everything so I should be good.
I got a 12 awd rt plus in January with 95k. Has 105 now. New tires, needs replaced, zero burnouts. Awd modules 900.00. Ac door switch and something else ac related, 500. 200 deep inspection. Needs brakes (my fault). Had uconnect replaced by dealer under warranty, value 700. Trunk button doesn’t work, not fixing. New rack and pin/2 transaxels by dealer before buying, 1400. That sounds like a lot, but I’m into it for under 3k, and paid 12k. Can’t find them for under 20 right now. And I beat my cars hard. Already had it over 120 several times and 130 once. The plus has some crazy options like heated/cooled seats and cup holders, plus more and all works perfect. The sound and power, 100% would recommend and buy again if I had too
I bought my 2013 Charger Rt Max Awd brand new in 2012. It had one tenth of a mile on the odometer. 9 years later it just turned 84k. All done by me. Only changed water pump 3 years ago. Dealer has done several recall repairs to it and I added R1 drilled and slotted rotors and brakes, oil catch can by UPR and Scott Drake strut tower brace. It came with the Alpine system which was junk so I upgraded the entire audio system and added an Northstar AGM battery. I maintain my car on a strict oil change time line. I have went through 3 sets of tires and 2 brake changes. Aside from nicks and dings from age and use it is nearly showroom condition. I love this car.
That’s how you know you’ve got a keeper! They keep changing body styles to get us to buy new cars, but underneath your car is the same as the new ones!
i have a 2012 dodge charger SRT, i bought it with 137k miles on it, the previous owners apparently drove it pretty hard, water pump went out went out within the first month of me owning it, and cam was completely worn out by a lifter that got stuck in the block, thankfully i got an extended powertrain warranty when i bought the car so i got a new waterpump and a new 392 long block for free
@@4kjay347 oh yeah they do, plus all the fancy stuff they come with, like the harmon kardon stereo heated/ cooled cup holders, and that engine power makes everything worth it
I have a 2014 RT AWD with 114 thousand miles still running good just keep up with the maintenance I put a K&N filter and it uses a lot more oil only prop I notice and sometimes wants to hesitate to go fast if I’m driving normal for awhile definitely need to open the engine more they restrict it too much
@@terrylee773 yeah the computer doesn’t like it if u drive normal for awhile and then try to go fast furious it wants to fight u that’s what I notice get the Diablo chip open it up
Bro, y’all could have a simple issue. I would punch my 07 300C, it would hesitate like it wasn’t getting gas. Turns out, dielectric grease killed the connecting in my spark plug boot on the coil pack! I bought new ones, car is running great again. They are like 16 a piece. Not too cheap, but I was getting ready to change the plugs, coil packs and throttle body in search of this issue, and it turned out to be a $16 rubber boot. If y’all have any questions about anything, hit me up!
My RT Challenger, Stacks up to any Camaro, or Mustang, out there. I can get on the gas with any of them. And You're right about it, it's not slow by no chance.
@@fullsend5437 Do you have any mods at all, or is it completely stock? Dodge did a DAMN good job of tuning their cars. Only if you did crazy mods, would I suggest that you need tuning. Tuning is a bit more difficult. Its best to find a tuning shop in your city to handle your tunes after you mod your car. If you don't want to take it to them, you can have them do email tunes, and you'd need that $500 diablo tuner to be able to import the tunes they email you. Its a bit less quick that way, but after time, it will be right. You'd have to report back to them what the car IS doing and what its NOT doing. Id suggest taking it to a tuner so they can Dyno it as they tune it! Thats the best route.
@@terrylee773 I just made the swap to Synthetic 5w20 High Mileage and the Mopar oil filter for mine. Ive got 130k Miles. I was skeptical on putting synthetic in my car at first, but it actually really is good. It lasts WAY longer and takes more abuse. After 5k miles, my oil doesn't look or feel like it needs to be replaced. Ive always changed at 5k miles. It just feels like a complete waste of oil and money to do at 3k. Its nowhere near ready. The inside of my engine is super clean as well which was a shock. I got it at 80k after it was used for a rental company apparently. I expected complete shit, but it was spotless when I opened it up. So I've been doing careful maintenance on it even since to keep it that way haha.
@@terrylee773 Also, I didn't just dump synthetic in at at one time, which doesn't bother it if you do. I just used half synthetic and half regular oil, for one oil change, then went ahead with full synthetic the next oil change. Cars been running GREAT.
I have a 2016 R/T that now has 61k on it. I'd say about 80% is all highway miles. Car has been great. Mid muffler delete hasn't caused any issues and so far all is well. It's no drag strip demon, but as I always say....there's cars faster than mine and there's cars slower....on the street, it holds its own very well
@@luvsmokeyy No problems so far. Routine maintenance like changing oil faithfully every 5k with ONLY full synthetic oil( no exceptions), clean and recharge K&N filter when needed and of course i do unfortunately have to get new tires all the way around once a year. Keep in mind, these aren't race cars or drag strip cars, so I don't drive it like one. I get on it, but I don't do burn outs etc
@@willfoster9083 Definitely not drag cars, at least not without lots of mods. My 2012 lexus is350 smokes v8 R/Ts with a 306hp 3.5L v6 that dates back to 2006.
The R/T 345 Hemi is very solid full size muscle car. Not the fastest one, has old good engine and the platform, and gives the best for it's price. I drive 2014 Charger R/T with 100K miles, owning the car from the day one.
I have a 14 rt that just turned 170 k. Running same as it did new. I have a performance 93 octane tune on it and a couple other small mods and always use synthetic oil and havent had any problems.
My Challenger RT 2015 I've got 57,200 on it it's nice to hear reports from guys like you I still got a lot of miles left in my RT! And I don't know about you but I have no hemi tick and I don't think you do either
I have a 2014 Charger R/T Plus in Header Orange carbon fibered out currently with 93,635 on the odometer and still pulling strong from the first day I got her. I wouldn't trade her for the world.
Facts! If u got a 5.7 hemi u got no worries for a long time...trust me I own 2, my 2004 still runs like a beast today! Also just bought a 2019 charger rt
You may want to get that fixed. The 5.7 in these cars generally get 18-20 average without trying. It's pretty hilly where I am and I get 16-18 with my Cherokee SRT8. Obviously less if I am horsing around with it.
@@beast_mode_4200 dead ass lol. You can keep it at 29 - 32 mpg, but youll start losing speed, but shiiiiiit, saves LOTTA money haha. I drive batshit crazy from Full to halfway empty, then from there my foot enters Eco Mode 😂😂
Dang dude that’s great, i just got my R/T had it for about 3 months now, i rarely drive it so I’m not putting that many miles on it about to get my first oil change soon 😂
@@taygreene86 bro enjoy your car before fuel dies out, the way things b going. travel, go where you want Grand Canyon, Everglades,Yosemite, Sequoia, Redwoods…
Did you know that the owner of a car and how he/she takes care of it is 50% of the equation. The way its its driven and how its maintained are just as important as build quality. So while you are reviewing the car you are also reviewing its handler. FYI.
I just purchased a 2014 R/T and I loooooooooooooooove it! It has 70K on it, got it checked out and what not aside from something with the Bluetooth and usb, it’s aye okay. I did notice the tires are more expensive like on average $180 per tire which is going to take some getting use to having come from driving an Altima… but luckily I work from home so we’ll see. Thanks for this vid!!
For A LOT of people, a 2015 is still a very new car. 110k is also very new for a lot of people - especially cars after 2010+ are very reliable when taken car of / regular maintenance. '15 charger 5.7 is an excellent car - there's a reason government agencies use them.
Sittin at 156k on my awd rt. Only things replaced were performance parts that i slapped on the day i bought it almost a decade ago🥴 granted my lifters have been out since 90k. Otherwise thats really the only major issue i had.
I have a 2011 Charger 3.6 that I bought new in May of 2011. It now has 230,550 miles on it, and it's still as good as new. I've been driving since 1964. This is the best car I've ever owned.
its still clean for 100k, these cars should be built tough for road trips and 100k. the 5.7, 6.4, easy to work on yourself, doing maintenance yourself, etc etc. i thought 55k on my '16 was a lot of miles.. majority is highway road trip miles, and i can get my 5.7L mpg up to 30-31mpg if i pedal it right. changed my pads, tires, rear diff oil, about to change my coolant next. these are nice motors, crossing my fingers for another 50k no hassles
Had a 2015 Dodge Charger R/T with 63k miles, both motor mounts went out, thermostat went out, transmission slipping, driver side window motor went out , and headlight went out, so I sold it and will never get a dodge again unless it’s a diesel, provided routine maintenance to my vehicle at least 1500 miles earlier than needed and kept up with the vehicle, just personal experience.
Yo I'm everywhere in my state and I take my 2014 Dodge Charger rt out of state all the time I have 200 thousand plus and she still rolling of course with that many miles little stuff goes but nothing major like fuel injector oil pressure sensor spark plug serpentine belt little stuff nothing internal but you have to keep up with your oil changes is very important for the most part it's been a good car to me I got it with 60000 miles if you baby your car and maintain it well and really take care of it and pay attention to the vehicle how it sounds and runs it'll take care of you
I don't consider 100km high as it takes but a mere minute to reach. Mines a 2006 with 150,000km and I generally only put 10,000kms p/yr on it but feel like during the summer months I barely get any seat time in. Fuck the kms
sweet car i bought now just a few days ago but a 2013 charger rt plus awd with 55k miles love the car and is really clean one owner he was an older guy he said he hit 95mph in it once and that's it but he said it would idie for a while which it does have 2200 engine hours when i checked so i took it to the dealer it make sure it really had 55k miles and yup they said the car was always at the dealer for repairs or oil changes i'm like sweet mind you first v8 abd mopor always wanted one and an rt so i couldn't pass this up plus i like the 2011 to 2013 body style plus love the heated and cooled cup holders mine has i use them all the time and do work just pissed i don't have the paddle shifters also i have to do an oil change so i'm gonna use mobile one 5-20 as it says on the oil cap is that a good oil to use i always use mobile one for other cars i owned and do it every 5k miles plus i only drive at most 7k miles or less a year
Nice ride! Yes, I only use Mobil one full synthetic. One of the easiest and best ways you can ensure a long life for your engine is use full synthetic, and change the oil regularly!
@@4kjay347 sweet thanks yeah I had a 2.0T before this rt and still have it it’s a Vw cc when I would drive it hard and push it and race as it’s stage 2 300hp I would do an oil change every 3.5k miles and will do the same with the rt oil and the filter isn’t to much I’ll rather be safe then sorry
Love the video champ I appreciate the content 👌 I do have a question I drive a 2016 chrysler 300c I have been having a plastic rattle in the rear end driver side tire have you ever encountered that on your charger
did you get a extended warranty? I have a 2019 rt with 34,000. 3 year warranty is expiring. dont know if I should for another 5 years. lowest quote I had was 1800$ for 5 years or 75k miles.
Recently bought a 2016 Charger Police with the 5.7L and AWD. Have you had any issues with the rear driveshaft hanger bearing support coming apart? Bearing is non replaceable on 2015 and up, but I did manage to find an aftermarket solution. Apparently these Chargers are know for this issue as well as front suspension bushings separating. Mine also required a camshaft replacement before I took delivery of it.
Honestly, when it first starts there is a little hesitation from first to second, but it’s been like that since I got it 4 years ago. That 8 speed is a ZF transmission. Very good and reliable especially at our power levels. I used to ride in sport mode a lot and rode it hard and it’s held up well
Challenger R/T 5.7 - 93000 miles. Replaced valve intake seals, water pump, radiator, alternator, starter, sparkplugs blah blah blah... 8 speed transmission is the one to avoid due to MDS nonsense. Rusts from the insides, not the outside... so no matter how much you take care of this car it will inevitably rust!
175300 miles 300c 5.7 hemi Still runing like champ little here & there but nothing major engine & tran healthy just dam aceccories like fans breaking radiator😂 love my hemi my 1st baby out of my 2 children"
Should I get a 2016 sxt awd charger with 153k miles for 17k? No rusting all good? Just worried ab the miles but this video helped me feel better about it.. also the comments but just need help from someone who already owns one!
The miles are kind of high for the V6 engine, but maybe they’re highway miles. I’ve seen the v6 models last around 200k. Is that the one you really want?
If it’s the one you really want, and you can afford it, go for it. Just make sure that you keep up on the oil changes, and make sure to get it in the shop for preventative maintenance to keep the car running for the long haul. Also try to get a pre purchase inspection at a local shop not connected with the dealer/seller just to make sure it’s all good
The only people who complain about these V8s are people who beat the hell out of these cars and mod them and don’t treat the car right then jump on CZcams to complain. They tune it and change all sorts of stuff and blow out the rear diff and the trans like idiots. I have a 2014 RT only 59k on it it’s a fun car the most I’ll do is race someone on the freeway….I’m not drifting it and doing doughnuts like a fool.
Great, informative review. I was reluctant to get one of these because of the constant drivetrain shit-talk, but the HEMIs have always been known for being reliable, which is what's been irking me to pick one u.
4:12 Yes sir Dat is 2015 RT PREMIUM have more technology Than scatpack or hellcat specialy wn u want to use traction off ya just one hit traction button half sec da traction off works than in scat or hellcat thy keep finger hold on on traction 3 or 5 sec and it’s works or off on ya engine and keeps both ya fingers on start engine and traction button so ya car started working and traction off is working, taken time , bt in 2015 RT premium? One ☝️ hit 👉 traction off works . Thanks 🙏
Miles is just miles your gonna get it it’s a car,you gotta take care of it check my page out my challenger rt shaker 2016 has 126,665 miles the only problem I had was a check engine light it was just the gas cap that needed to be replaced just needs to be taken care of lol
Don't listen to the uneducated and ones that haven't owned an actual Hemi. There opion does not matter. My Hemi has 119,000 no issues. I believe in very high quality synthetic and oil changes every 3,000
I really looking into a srt8 with around 100000 miles on it and the owner wants 21000 dollars. Im just affraid to seal the deal since the high milages but I havent seen the car in person.

I got a 12 awd rt plus in January with 95k. Has 105 now. New tires, needs replaced, zero burnouts. Awd modules 900.00. Ac door switch and something else ac related, 500. 200 deep inspection. Needs brakes (my fault). Had uconnect replaced by dealer under warranty, value 700. Trunk button doesn’t work, not fixing. New rack and pin/2 transaxels by dealer before buying, 1400. That sounds like a lot, but I’m into it for under 3k, and paid 12k. Can’t find them for under 20 right now. And I beat my cars hard. Already had it over 120 several times and 130 once. The plus has some crazy options like heated/cooled seats and cup holders, plus more and all works perfect. The sound and power, 100% would recommend and buy again if I had too
I bought my 2013 Charger Rt Max Awd brand new in 2012. It had one tenth of a mile on the odometer. 9 years later it just turned 84k. All done by me. Only changed water pump 3 years ago. Dealer has done several recall repairs to it and I added R1 drilled and slotted rotors and brakes, oil catch can by UPR and Scott Drake strut tower brace. It came with the Alpine system which was junk so I upgraded the entire audio system and added an Northstar AGM battery. I maintain my car on a strict oil change time line. I have went through 3 sets of tires and 2 brake changes. Aside from nicks and dings from age and use it is nearly showroom condition. I love this car.
That’s awesome! That car is still like new. It will still be on the road when the electric cars take over!
@@4kjay347 even after 9 years, I still look back at it after every time I park it. 😄
That’s how you know you’ve got a keeper! They keep changing body styles to get us to buy new cars, but underneath your car is the same as the new ones!
I always wondered if I should keep my rt long term. Thx for the info!
No problem. I just drove it from Philadelphia pa to Tampa fl. It’s got just about 115,000 on the clock and running great!
i have a 2012 dodge charger SRT, i bought it with 137k miles on it, the previous owners apparently drove it pretty hard, water pump went out went out within the first month of me owning it, and cam was completely worn out by a lifter that got stuck in the block, thankfully i got an extended powertrain warranty when i bought the car so i got a new waterpump and a new 392 long block for free
Those SRT models look super aggressive!!
@@4kjay347 oh yeah they do, plus all the fancy stuff they come with, like the harmon kardon stereo heated/ cooled cup holders, and that engine power makes everything worth it
Nice
I own a 2012 Dodge Charger R/T Road & Track. It has 92,500+ miles. It is still running like a champ.
I love the road and track package! It’s the best package for an R/T in my opinion
Yea I got the same model but 2011. Just hit 112k & it's been great to me. This year Dec 2021 I ve had it for 4 years.
I have an RT 2013 still runs like new Challenger.
I have a 2014 RT AWD with 114 thousand miles still running good just keep up with the maintenance I put a K&N filter and it uses a lot more oil only prop I notice and sometimes wants to hesitate to go fast if I’m driving normal for awhile definitely need to open the engine more they restrict it too much
Yeah mine too sometimes it gives a nasty hesitation when u punch It. I hate that other than that it’s cool
@@terrylee773 yeah the computer doesn’t like it if u drive normal for awhile and then try to go fast furious it wants to fight u that’s what I notice get the Diablo chip open it up
Bro, y’all could have a simple issue. I would punch my 07 300C, it would hesitate like it wasn’t getting gas. Turns out, dielectric grease killed the connecting in my spark plug boot on the coil pack! I bought new ones, car is running great again. They are like 16 a piece. Not too cheap, but I was getting ready to change the plugs, coil packs and throttle body in search of this issue, and it turned out to be a $16 rubber boot. If y’all have any questions about anything, hit me up!
Read my other comment bro!
Pull the battery to reset the CPU and put some miles of spirited driving on it... it'll learn!
My RT Challenger, Stacks up to any Camaro, or Mustang, out there. I can get on the gas with any of them. And You're right about it, it's not slow by no chance.
You’ve clearly never encountered a 10 speed auto mustang GT. Those things move .

Really??? What kind of tune would be good for a 2018 challenger scatpack?
What’s the best oil to use for the my 5.7 liter hemi it’s a 2014 300
@@fullsend5437
Do you have any mods at all, or is it completely stock? Dodge did a DAMN good job of tuning their cars. Only if you did crazy mods, would I suggest that you need tuning.
Tuning is a bit more difficult. Its best to find a tuning shop in your city to handle your tunes after you mod your car. If you don't want to take it to them, you can have them do email tunes, and you'd need that $500 diablo tuner to be able to import the tunes they email you. Its a bit less quick that way, but after time, it will be right. You'd have to report back to them what the car IS doing and what its NOT doing. Id suggest taking it to a tuner so they can Dyno it as they tune it! Thats the best route.
@@terrylee773 I just made the swap to Synthetic 5w20 High Mileage and the Mopar oil filter for mine. Ive got 130k Miles. I was skeptical on putting synthetic in my car at first, but it actually really is good. It lasts WAY longer and takes more abuse. After 5k miles, my oil doesn't look or feel like it needs to be replaced. Ive always changed at 5k miles. It just feels like a complete waste of oil and money to do at 3k. Its nowhere near ready. The inside of my engine is super clean as well which was a shock. I got it at 80k after it was used for a rental company apparently. I expected complete shit, but it was spotless when I opened it up. So I've been doing careful maintenance on it even since to keep it that way haha.
@@terrylee773 Also, I didn't just dump synthetic in at at one time, which doesn't bother it if you do. I just used half synthetic and half regular oil, for one oil change, then went ahead with full synthetic the next oil change. Cars been running GREAT.
I have a 2016 R/T that now has 61k on it. I'd say about 80% is all highway miles. Car has been great. Mid muffler delete hasn't caused any issues and so far all is well. It's no drag strip demon, but as I always say....there's cars faster than mine and there's cars slower....on the street, it holds its own very well
Couldn’t be said better. On the street the R/T does very well!
Just got the same car same mileage, what problems are you running into??
@@luvsmokeyy No problems so far. Routine maintenance like changing oil faithfully every 5k with ONLY full synthetic oil( no exceptions), clean and recharge K&N filter when needed and of course i do unfortunately have to get new tires all the way around once a year. Keep in mind, these aren't race cars or drag strip cars, so I don't drive it like one. I get on it, but I don't do burn outs etc
@@willfoster9083
Definitely not drag cars, at least not without lots of mods. My 2012 lexus is350 smokes v8
R/Ts with a 306hp 3.5L v6 that dates back to 2006.
Just turned my '13 Daytona over to 106,000. Still running like a top. I did have to drop a new engine into my '05 Maggie RT at 140,000 though.
I love the Daytona’s! I hope she lasts you another 100k!
The R/T 345 Hemi is very solid full size muscle car. Not the fastest one, has old good engine and the platform, and gives the best for it's price. I drive 2014 Charger R/T with 100K miles, owning the car from the day one.
I totally agree with you. I think it’s a fantastic car that gets overlooked, but it is really for for the street!
I have a 14 rt that just turned 170 k. Running same as it did new. I have a performance 93 octane tune on it and a couple other small mods and always use synthetic oil and havent had any problems.
Synthetic is the way to go! That’s all I use too!
Just bought a 2014 300s awd 5.7 with 70k so far. I had to replace the tires already it’s no joke . Definitely dope video.
Thanks man. I got a video dropping soon about the 5.7 300!
Looks clean. It will last another 100,000 miles. I'm hoping my challenger srt392 will last another 100,000 miles
I love my r/t. Perfect daily
My Challenger RT 2015 I've got 57,200 on it it's nice to hear reports from guys like you I still got a lot of miles left in my RT! And I don't know about you but I have no hemi tick and I don't think you do either
Nice video! I had one and sold it at 60k the alternator was over $1000 and $200 for a batterie and that’s it. Chargers are amazing
I have a 2014 Charger R/T Plus in Header Orange carbon fibered out currently with 93,635 on the odometer and still pulling strong from the first day I got her. I wouldn't trade her for the world.
My dad has 2016 Rt and found it a 9,000 practically new but still paying it off.
Edit: Paid off.
Never understood why people freak out over 100k miles. It's 200k that you need to worry about
I guess since bmw and Mercedes cars start messing up as soon as the 100k warranty is up lol
Facts! If u got a 5.7 hemi u got no worries for a long time...trust me I own 2, my 2004 still runs like a beast today! Also just bought a 2019 charger rt
I wish I could get that mpg...I just got a 15 police package charger and I’m consistently getting 11-12mpg...hurting my pockets a little lol
You may want to get that fixed. The 5.7 in these cars generally get 18-20 average without trying. It's pretty hilly where I am and I get 16-18 with my Cherokee SRT8. Obviously less if I am horsing around with it.
Wow, I average 22 commuting to work. You must beat the snot out of that thing.
Yeah somethings wrong with your car or you are flooring it everywhere you go. One of the two. I get GREAT gas mileage lol.
I got up to 29 before in my scatpack lol
@@beast_mode_4200 dead ass lol. You can keep it at 29 - 32 mpg, but youll start losing speed, but shiiiiiit, saves LOTTA money haha. I drive batshit crazy from Full to halfway empty, then from there my foot enters Eco Mode 😂😂
I like what you said about the v8 my rt challenger has 246k no check engine light
Dang dude that’s great, i just got my R/T had it for about 3 months now, i rarely drive it so I’m not putting that many miles on it about to get my first oil change soon 😂

Great video man! I loved my Challenger RT.
Thank you! The RT trim is awesome!
I can dig it!! All good info good stuff bruh mines is 14 just got to 100k. Still running good. 👍🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Aye it’s gonna run for a lot longer!
Did you know that the owner of a car and how he/she takes care of it is 50% of the equation.
The way its its driven and how its maintained are just as important as build quality.
So while you are reviewing the car you are also reviewing its handler.
FYI.
Absolutely
This is so true!
I just purchased a 2014 R/T and I loooooooooooooooove it! It has 70K on it, got it checked out and what not aside from something with the Bluetooth and usb, it’s aye okay. I did notice the tires are more expensive like on average $180 per tire which is going to take some getting use to having come from driving an Altima… but luckily I work from home so we’ll see. Thanks for this vid!!
Awesome! Enjoy that hemi!!!
What do you work in?
Car is so fresh!!!! Great content I love your channel!
Love my 2018 Charger R/T.
For A LOT of people, a 2015 is still a very new car. 110k is also very new for a lot of people - especially cars after 2010+ are very reliable when taken car of / regular maintenance. '15 charger 5.7 is an excellent car - there's a reason government agencies use them.
I totally agree!!
Ive been wondering how hemis hold up. Thanks for posting this
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching bro!
427000 on my 1992 Explorer. No rebuilds .4.0 litre v6. My brother in law has 500 plus on his
Thats awesome! that explorer will be at 500k in no time!
I found a 2018 R/T with 77k miles, so nearly 20k miles a year (started new as a rental. Its in my budget, is it too much miles to buy?
I don’t think the miles are too crazy. Just remember that people beat the crap out of rentals, although they are maintained well. Keep that in mind
Sittin at 156k on my awd rt. Only things replaced were performance parts that i slapped on the day i bought it almost a decade ago🥴 granted my lifters have been out since 90k. Otherwise thats really the only major issue i had.
Hey my Hemi 300C is the same year and has 137k trouble free miles. I take care of it, like anything else it takes care of you.
Nice Charger my friend.
I have a 2011 Charger 3.6 that I bought new in May of 2011. It now has 230,550 miles on it, and it's still as good as new. I've been driving since 1964. This is the best car I've ever owned.
That’s awesome! Definitely got your moneys worth!!
Thata great to hear! I have a 2011 challenger 3.6 with about 108k on it now. So far so good
its still clean for 100k, these cars should be built tough for road trips and 100k. the 5.7, 6.4, easy to work on yourself, doing maintenance yourself, etc etc. i thought 55k on my '16 was a lot of miles.. majority is highway road trip miles, and i can get my 5.7L mpg up to 30-31mpg if i pedal it right. changed my pads, tires, rear diff oil, about to change my coolant next. these are nice motors, crossing my fingers for another 50k no hassles
My brothers 2016 RT Charger has 201,000 miles still rides good
Awesome man. I bet the car still looks great too!!
V8 hemis can go up to 300k if your up on oil changes especially
Had a 2015 Dodge Charger R/T with 63k miles, both motor mounts went out, thermostat went out, transmission slipping, driver side window motor went out , and headlight went out, so I sold it and will never get a dodge again unless it’s a diesel, provided routine maintenance to my vehicle at least 1500 miles earlier than needed and kept up with the vehicle, just personal experience.
Darn that stinks. The Cummins diesel in the ram trucks are awesome!
Yo I'm everywhere in my state and I take my 2014 Dodge Charger rt out of state all the time I have 200 thousand plus and she still rolling of course with that many miles little stuff goes but nothing major like fuel injector oil pressure sensor spark plug serpentine belt little stuff nothing internal but you have to keep up with your oil changes is very important for the most part it's been a good car to me I got it with 60000 miles if you baby your car and maintain it well and really take care of it and pay attention to the vehicle how it sounds and runs it'll take care of you
I don't consider 100km high as it takes but a mere minute to reach.
Mines a 2006 with 150,000km and I generally only put 10,000kms p/yr on it but feel like during the summer months I barely get any seat time in.
Fuck the kms
I agree. these 5.7 engines are reliable!
Beautiful car brother !!

sweet car i bought now just a few days ago but a 2013 charger rt plus awd with 55k miles love the car and is really clean one owner he was an older guy he said he hit 95mph in it once and that's it but he said it would idie for a while which it does have 2200 engine hours when i checked so i took it to the dealer it make sure it really had 55k miles and yup they said the car was always at the dealer for repairs or oil changes i'm like sweet mind you first v8 abd mopor always wanted one and an rt so i couldn't pass this up plus i like the 2011 to 2013 body style plus love the heated and cooled cup holders mine has i use them all the time and do work just pissed i don't have the paddle shifters also i have to do an oil change so i'm gonna use mobile one 5-20 as it says on the oil cap is that a good oil to use i always use mobile one for other cars i owned and do it every 5k miles plus i only drive at most 7k miles or less a year
Nice ride! Yes, I only use Mobil one full synthetic. One of the easiest and best ways you can ensure a long life for your engine is use full synthetic, and change the oil regularly!
@@4kjay347 sweet thanks yeah I had a 2.0T before this rt and still have it it’s a Vw cc when I would drive it hard and push it and race as it’s stage 2 300hp I would do an oil change every 3.5k miles and will do the same with the rt oil and the filter isn’t to much I’ll rather be safe then sorry
Love the video champ I appreciate the content 👌 I do have a question I drive a 2016 chrysler 300c I have been having a plastic rattle in the rear end driver side tire have you ever encountered that on your charger

Hope you can get the tranny fixed for cheap!
The only thing I don’t like is the 345 on the side, what’s wrong with hemi or RT badge on it??
I agree. I put that on back in 2017. I would like to de-badge the whole car, just haven’t gotten to it yet.
did you get a extended warranty? I have a 2019 rt with 34,000. 3 year warranty is expiring. dont know if I should for another 5 years. lowest quote I had was 1800$ for 5 years or 75k miles.
100.000 ain't shyt i got a Honda with 310,000 miles on a VTEC and still runs strong!100,000 that's just breaking it in!
That’s definitely true with Honda’s..they run forever!
Recently bought a 2016 Charger Police with the 5.7L and AWD. Have you had any issues with the rear driveshaft hanger bearing support coming apart? Bearing is non replaceable on 2015 and up, but I did manage to find an aftermarket solution.
Apparently these Chargers are know for this issue as well as front suspension bushings separating. Mine also required a camshaft replacement before I took delivery of it.
I think that’s the actual weak point of the car. Mine went bad last summer, and none were available, it was a nightmare!!
I am looking to buy a charger police AWD package I want to see can u do videos on it like wheel changes and tuning
108,000 and still going. Those hemi don’t get broke in until after 100, 000 miles .
The 5.7 is definitely a workhorse!
How has your 8spd Trans been treating you I have a 15 chrysler 300s 5.7 and the shifting is a Lil off
Honestly, when it first starts there is a little hesitation from first to second, but it’s been like that since I got it 4 years ago. That 8 speed is a ZF transmission. Very good and reliable especially at our power levels. I used to ride in sport mode a lot and rode it hard and it’s held up well
Question, a dealer shop in my area is offering a 2017 Dodge Charger RT V8, 20k, 100k miles, worth it?
I think that is just a little too much. See if you can negotiate the price and have them come down a little. Good luck on the R/T search!

The only people who complain about these V8s are people who beat the hell out of these cars and mod them and don’t treat the car right then jump on CZcams to complain. They tune it and change all sorts of stuff and blow out the rear diff and the trans like idiots.

Great, informative review. I was reluctant to get one of these because of the constant drivetrain shit-talk, but the HEMIs have always been known for being reliable, which is what's been irking me to pick one u.
