When Hellcat owners get a family, they can just substitute their Hellcat with this baby and bring the whole family.
Facts I was about to say that
Or if I just want to look gangster in a suv
If they live long enough to have a family that is, with all that power
Just curious, what’s your avg MPG and miles per tank?
hellcat owners do not stick around for the whole 'family' thing methinks
I quite literally own one ('23, premium, black) and still watched the video. I guess I just can't get enough of this crazy SUV! Great video, as usual.
Why aren't you making any videos of yours 😢
@@rickyanthony Hmm, not sure my phone would do the Durango justice. ;)
Man I want one so bad I have an RT and I love it so bad I cant imagine how much better the Hellcat/SRTs are
Not trying to hate for real man...does yours take 15 seconds for the infotainment screen to turn on after a weird glitch in the screen? That can't be how it is for real lol
@@BRANDON-IRON009 Surprisingly I haven't had any issues with the infotainment in the past couple of weeks I've owned it. My 2021 did have some occasional glitches, however. Hoping they've been fixed by now, but we'll see how it goes long term.
100k for a Durango (700hp or not) is WILD
Its GUARANTEED to break down and soon...all those plastic parts. I know someone on a second trans at 65 or 70.000 miles...NO WAY
Same goes for the Escalade
@@1470boysI've seen those escalade v go for $170-200k😂
@jaidenjones57, which is wild, they shouldn't be $170K - $200K. They should be ATLEAST $100K to $120K (since they're still luxury SUVS with a lot of power)
a lot of people who buy dodge performance cars compeletly ignore the break in period warning and are gas happy as soon as they get in because thats what they've seen done, or dont follow the maintaince window properly. those two things are what cause a lot of damage in these cars. @@carmellatte71
Just a note on the weight. Official curb weight is 5575lbs.. Motor trends test unit was 5512lbs, C&D was 5534lbs and my own personal one is 5580lbs. The 5710 number was a mistake by Dodge which is now corrected on the Dodge website. 🍻
Simple solution for a passenger complaining about that glorious exhaust : pullover and let them get out 🤣
😂
9:46 probably one of the weirdest but best ways to accurately describe the car. I had the opportunity to drive passenger in one last weekend and this thing is so unpredictably good
the aggressive super charger whine plus his calm laugh is a perfect mix
Its almost evil.
100k is a small price to pay for the happiness I hear in your voice
Launch at 18:25
One of those videos that leaves you grinning from ear to ear at the sheer absurdity of this machine.
this engine is a masterpiece my goodness that sounds so good and puts the power so well
i really dont know how Dodge is going to survive the post Hellcat and Charger/Challenger era. They have no cache with regular customers.
Yeah you are right. Most of their customers are car enthusiasts with bad credits who get their cars repossessed eventually Lol 😆.
@@vintagetriplex3728 how many bad credit buyers can get a loan for 100k vehicles? 😕
@@vintagetriplex3728they barely even count as car enthusiasts, more like takeover enthusiasts
@@gavcom4060 whether you like it or not if they’re interested and have a passion for cars they’re enthusiasts.
Shit they got dodge rams single cabs 2 not just chargers and challengers
In the 4K video you can literally see the fuel gauge dropping during the test drive!
Young fly on the track 🗣️🗣️
My mom grabbed her 2021 for $81K and absolutely LOVES hers! Because she was able to do a first order, she did not pay over MSRP. So she’s not too upset that Dodge made more. For me, the exhaust note at highway speeds is just too much. Then again, I drive a Lexus so of course I’d say that. 😂 Thank you for using the same song for your audio tests, it really helps to compare the sound systems here. E.g. This system against my Mark Levinson. Thanks for posting!!
Thats badass your mom wipping a Hellcat Durango
@@BIGMAC32 ::heehee:: As far as she’s concerned, it’s been Mopar Or No Car since the 1970s when she bought a used ‘71 Road Runner after my dad bought his ‘73 Road Runner 340 brand new.
@@blu_is500soo uhmm uhhh wassup with your mom? She uhmm, single 😏?
What’s your moms ig? For research purposes 😂
does your mom want another son? I promise I can help around the house heheh. I'm a mean cook and I love cleaning. Maybe she'd uhh.... let me take out that Hellcat to run her groceries for her :)
TheTopher makes the best videos ever :)
I met a guy at a gas station with one, and we were chatting, he floored it at night on the way out on a rural road.... I think my brain rattled inside my skull. It was the loudest car I have ever heard. I think he might have added tuning or something to make it louder but it was freaking insane.
😂😂
3 rows, great looking, 710hp amazing sounding V8 plus AWD, nice leather and alcantara, good suspension, lots of space, tows a lot, intuitive infotainment, great tech, and people think $90k-$100k is too much….
and carbon fiber, I'm willing to bet if dodge was a oversea's brand people wouldnt have anything to say about it costing 100k, but since its a domestic brand and domestic's are "cheap" and "slow" all hell breaks loose.
@@Tokio_Tsuexactly
well said!!
well said!!@@Tokio_Tsu
Terrible interrior leather is fine cheap plastic no space in the back. Not a good daily driver
Seen one for the first time a few days ago in traffic. Love the interiors on these
Nice save on that “don’t sleep on the trackhawk” 😂☠️🤣
thank you for the very honest review
another great video!
TheTopher which vehicle did you enjoy more the GLS 63 AMG or the Durango Hellcat?
That Topher chuckle.
love to see a mopar video
Id be interested to see a shootout between this and a Rivian R1S. Both extremely fast $100k 3 row family haulers. There’s obvious pros and cons to each.
I always wanted a fast wagon. Missed out on the CTS-V with a stick, Merc and Audi have always been out of reach financially and availability wise. We don’t get the M3 touring. This is the next best thing…
Thx bro for this vid my Favorite truck is a dodge Durango :)
What a truck! God bless America!
The Durango is my dream car, don't think I need the Hellcat lol but I want a hemi with mine!
Dodge built a friggin space ship that’s why it cost so much, 6 seats, 700hp, track ready, premium features. Worth every penny, if you got it 😉
The Durango hellcat come back at it again it ain’t gonna die
Hopefully the more they sell the greater the chance they bring them all back
Yep 100k or more could let justify…. That’s why that’s why four years ago I got my 2020 charger WB Hellkitty and haven’t looked back. Plenty of room, plenty of power, blends in well with all the other chargers so I don’t stand out, and super car acceleration all for only 70k. Well worth the money. No complaints till this day just all smiles and people giving thumbs up on that whine.
your finally driving dodge durango
I got a rare one with red interior and flip up media screens in the head rests . I sold it and I miss it now !!!
OMG 12 MPG IN THE CITY AND 17 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY XD Have fun going to the gas station many times every day ~~ Also I just got 3.5 seconds 0-60 mph when you did the straight road launch, just insane. The engine and the ZF 8-speed automatic is a perfect match. And the V8 is the best sounding V8 ever, no one does V8s quite like Dodge does, and the sound is all displacement, no fake sounds, just pure engine noise.
if you can afford a 100k car I don't think 70 bucks in gas is a big problem lol
@@adamkurt7922so true lol
Nope Camero Zl1 sounds better. It's perfect
Dodge has the 2nd best in my opinion.
Mustang is 3rd

Stunningly beautiful car. Congratulations sir.....💗💗👍👍
I honestly like the outdated interior. Plenty of buttons :)
I’ve been waiting for this so long hahaha
Amazing ride!!!! You just can’t help but to get back behind the wheel of this beautiful muscle SUV!!
I see Dodge hits you with the "OMG THE KEYS ARE NOT INSIDE, THE HORROR!!"
I was saying that myself I was like Dodge will make sure you know the key has left the vehicle 😭
@@kearney6197😂
My dream SUV...
That part where you was talking about to screen being slow 😂😂😂
26:46 i dont get it, where did that white van come from in the side mirror? wtf
The intake is so insanely huge
Great daily driver Tropher says… gas money has entered the chat.
I love your videos Can you do a video on a 04 to 08 Acura TL i want one for a first car
The launch...UUUUUIIIIIIII
Да уж, тачка что надо! Хорошо вам там в этом плане)
This is the coolest vehicle Dodge makes
2:40 after u fold the seat down behind the seat is another latch colored red that will make it fold completely so the way is completely open for someone to climb in the rear seats
Fold AND TUMBLE
Better interior than Challenger and Charger. Its actually funny they upgraded the interior for this and not those 2.
What setting do you use for your GoPro? GoPro Video settings? Great video.
Great launch. Puts down the power do well like another veiwer said. But I don't think it's worth more than 80. Outside doesn't stand out enough from other Durango's. Physical buttons are still cool but it's no reason the infotainment sysyem should be that slow lol
Weak effort for 6 figures but do love the shifting paddles. Definitely tow and go is a solid effort for a gas hoggie so be interesting to see how GMC and Ford respond as I don't know of any other competing with this.
That’s a proper size parking space.
amo esa durango
Si Dios así lo permite tendré una de esas
time to go do donuts in an intersection
It's AWD.
and get it stolen in Atlanta.
That SRT sounds beautiful❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Now I can launch the whole family into other space, thanks dodge 😂
i would love to go through your cars!
I like this better than the new grand Cherokee
Just remember, the chassis is from Mercedes Benz. (GLE maybe). That's why it feels so capable and planted. Back when MB owned Chrysler/Dodge. Time doesn't change quality....
It’s x164 chassis so ML/GL
The only real reason im keeping my 21 vs trading on a 24, my 21 does not beep the horn three times when i close the door while its running and im outside of it. That bs started in 2022, my charger does it
This vehicle is Not Just Bikes’ worst nightmare 😆
No thats the raptor r
Nah that’s the Denali and those insane megablocks looking cars on wheels
are you able to do the 2023 Dodge ram trx 1500 hellcat?
Is it better than jeeb hellcat?
100k used to buy italian precision ferraris and lambos. Now they want 100k for an unrealiable american dodge suv? Sign me up for a 96month lease!!!
It’s crazy to me how they haven’t really updated the design too crazy much since 2010 it’s a 14-year-old design with minor refreshes over the years…
My dad got one and man listen very clean suv shits a monster no question but yea for the price he paid smh crazy.
Fun!
the ultimate grocery getter 🤣
So, if you modified the interior and infotainment system, it would be the perfect family SUV for fun.
You should try to get an Escalade V then :)
Just waiting for that Pacifica Hellcat to drop. 😸🚐. Hands down best POV Car Videos out there!
Yea I'm waiting for that pacifica hellcat 😸
Heh
that new screen is so dope but that back up cam is shit compared to RAM which is weird
I would like to ask about the off-road capabilities of this car?
Curious to what watch you are wearing topher
Omega Speedmaster 😊
i wanna buy this amazing Tohper
Looking to trade up from 2017 Durango Citadel!
2023 dodge durango SRT HELLCAT
This is what Toretto drives with his family
When you want a muscle car but you're a family man - the car
Probably one of my favorite all-arounders on the market
Badass🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎💪💯
"What's the MPG on this thing?"
Topher: "Ten"
Not true I get 11 combined
10:57 I would have loved to be in that blue car next to him
With markup , $192,000
Charger widebody next please😍
Replace the Durango emblem with Grand Caravan 😅 It’s essentially a van why not? 🤷♂️
They should make more. If people wanted exclusive they shouldn't have bought a friggin Dodge. Nothing more American than mass production.
I’m sticking with the stelvio quadrifoglio.
Sean says Hell Cat = Hell Naw
Sir, this Monster is no sleeper it does not sleep, it will wake you out of your sleep.
Very familiar streets. Lol. Nice. #SEMICHIGAN
A supercharger IS worth the extra $$$.
Spacious is subjective. The cab is very narrow, the truck is just long.
the three horn honks everytime a door was closed drove me nuts that would be turned off asap
All cars do that to let you know the keys are inside. Def comes in clutch
You could buy a porse cayane and still have some money over
10 mpg 😱 and that noise!!! No thanks!
