Dodge Challenger SXT AWD V6 Last American Muscle Car

- This last great American muscle car is going out on top with what I think is the most useful muscle car, the Dodge Challenger SXT All-Wheel Drive with the Pentastar 3.6Liter V6 engine. I know, I know...muscle cars are supposed to have V8s but seriously, in the late 1960s and 1970s, most V8s used to put out less horsepower than modern V6 engines. Yes, the V8 burble as it idles and the solid rumble when you press the skinny pedal is additive but this 2022 Dodge Challenger with the V6 engine has plenty of get up and go for today's mostly-congested and poorly maintained American roads and highways. Having so much V8 power to stripe the rubber off the expensive tires just doesn't appeal to me since I work hard for a living and I'd rather see my money go further than leave my pocket faster. All around fuel economy and daily use of a Challenger with a V6 just makes financial sense but still gives you the same good looks and skinny-pedal thrills without all the fish tailing, tickets and higher insurance premiums.
For me, in the Midwest, the greatest selling point of the @Dodge Challenger SXT V6 is the all-wheel drive system. I mean, come on! What's not to like about that? I can tell you it works great after driving in icy conditions and wet slippery conditions for over a week in this 2022 Dodge Challenger SXT I rented from @EnterpriseRentACar . Kudos to Enterprise Rent A Car for offering such a cool car as a rental! i sure enjoyed it and it opened my eyes to the fun I've been missing I was a teenager driving my rusted-out 1971 Pontiac Firebird.

I just bought myself a blue 2023 Challenger GT awd to be my daily. God I love the look and feel of this car
Congratulations! I’ll admit I’m envious but happy for you! 💪👍. That’s going to be a great car for a long time…so well made, strong, dependable power train and you can use regular gasoline and not pay for premium gasoline which is getting harder to find and even more expensive. Enjoy your sweet car and keep us posted how you’re liking it and experience with it ✌️. Thanks for watching and letting us know! 😎
You definitely got my sub! Thank you for showing us sxt owners some love!
Thanks for watching, joining up and your nice comment! I truly am jealous of you SXT owners for being smart to grab them when you did. The V6s consistently throw their power into efficiently shooting you down the road and are muscle through ‘n through in my book! 😎💪
Great review but the last part with driving footage and the music was a real killer, there was something very romantic and nostalgic in it, coming right from the living beating heart. Thank you!!!
I truly appreciate you recognizing the mood I was shooting for…you’re the first and only person to “feel” what I was hoping to express and shared that with me…thank you and it tells me we must be kindred spirits with similar “feelings” 👍🙏. This car really does encapsulate something special which I think we’ll look back upon through misty-eyed memories longing of how things used to be. Thanks for watching and “picking up what I was laying down” 🤣😎👍.
@@WorksIRL when I think of the Challenger and all that it represents, I also can't help but hear the "Gran Torino" song by Jamie Cullum playing somewhere on the background - yeah I know, that is a Ford model, but the sentiment, including the one in the movie, is the same. And tears naturally roll, every single time. Just like they did when I was watching the beautiful end of your video. And that last shot with a truck car park as a background couldn't help but remind me of this bittersweet ending in the Great Gatsby, which I think characterises us: “So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”
@@slavslavinski7050 you’re a rare, passionate man and it takes strong self-confidence for a man to express such depth of feeling in what are likely just everyday imagery that surrounds us to the vast majority. I get exactly the same vibes from certain vehicles, movie scenes and books…The Great Gatsby being one of my favorite for its many levels of similar lost “best-of-times” whether they be real or wishful. I’d like to guess you’re a song writer, musician, author/writer, filmmaker or creative either vocationally or avocationally. I appreciate your thoughtful observations and insights…please stay in-touch 🙏👍💪
@@WorksIRL very close - an amateur dancer (ballroom & latin). And of course - subscribed to your channel and will stay in touch!
@@slavslavinski7050 ah-ha!! 🥳🕺I so admire anyone that can dance as I cannot 🥴. I’m a frustrated “creative” with plenty of ideas but without the necessary talent 😂. So glad you subscribed and thank you! I know my channel is all over the place topic-wise but ultimately I try to inject something “creative” as best I can without going so far as to lose viewers who may not really appreciate such flavor when simply looking for DIY tips 😄. I would like to head more towards creative vehicle and camera/audio equipment but for now I’m simply posting what has to get done in my life at the moment until more time for general leisure of video topics. Best of luck in your dancing endeavors and as I attempt more creative topics please be honest when I’m on the right track or maybe missing the mark…I appreciate corrective criticism in hopes I do better going forward. Peace my new friend ✌️and Happy Dancing 🕺!
anyone smart enough to like v6 musclecars gets my subscription!
Appreciate that very much!👍💪
@@WorksIRL can two adults fit in the backseat comfortably?
@@thegreat1548 “comfortably” is subjective based on persons size. Backseats are usable and more actual “seatable” space than Camaro and Mustang for sure. If front occupants move seats all the way back, seat backs will force rear occupants to spread knees to sides if they’re 5’10” or taller or press knees together and point to inside gap between front seats (almost side-saddle position). This is just my quick assessment based on getting in back seats to try them out. Comfortable seats though and has center arm rest. Heads are close to roof at back of head but not having to nod down. Again, subjective so I’d recommend you try yourself to be sure because some may think it’s unacceptable depending on their body dimensions and flexibility.
@@thegreat1548 yeah if there average sized and not nba players
Great overview! Great video! Loved it. It’s an often overlooked platform and deserves more consideration! The all-wheel-drive is a real differentiator
Hey, thank you so much for taking your valuable time to watch and I’m super-stoked to read your nice comment! Completely concur on the AWD makes this one unique in its own right as much as the V8s make those models special. Love your videos and channel…I truly appreciate you stopping by!
@@WorksIRL thank you! Much appreciated! Subscribed to you as well!!
@@GuysTalkingCars wow!! I’m honored and very appreciative 🙏👍😎Thank you!
This brought so much joy to me, Im 17 right now and I've been wanting a challenger for a while now and my friend has a v8 but I just want something nice to take up in the mountains and as a daily as well. I have been looking at the v6 since its cheaper and I could get a newer model for the same price as a older RT but I keep hearing so much hate towards the V6. It just makes me happy that people still appreciate the V6 models and hopefully in a year or two when I'm 19 I can buy one :)
I'm delighted you enjoyed watching my video experiencing this great car! As I say in the video, if this V6 was under-powered, it would be a different story but this V6 actually is the perfectly-sized engine for this Challenger in my opinion. If you can get the all-wheel drive model, it would be even better for trips up into the mountains knowing you've got better traction if the weather turns on you. Good luck and given the V6 models are more affordable and likely will NOT be thrashed like the V8s, finding a great used V6 Challenger in a couple years sounds like a really smart move. Good luck and thanks for watching and leaving your nice comment! 💪
I have a '22 myself, a 51st birthday gift to myself. Knuckle White blackout trim, added an HK Uconnect 8.4, and it's a perfect daily driver...all I did was upgrade the base-level speakers and Hurst shifter. Never ending compliments everywhere I go.
Sweet and great gift to yourself! 💪Love the upgrades you describe and in my area, I rarely see any but when I do, they always make my head turn and interrupt my conversations with my wife so I can concentrate on seeing it 🤣Keep on enjoying your great self-b-day gift...great choice!!
Wife has an RT i rented a V6. Great car i hope to buy a used AWD soon for my daily driver. The V6 did well in Miami traffic.
Gosh, that would be a great pair having the RT AND the AWD V6...perfect! I hope you can pull that off and hold on to the pair of them as I truly think these are super-unique, last of their era gems! Keep us posted if you do get an AWD V6 and I concur it would make a great daily driver giving you fun all year long! Best of luck and thanks for watching and commenting!👍
Very well done, Sir! FINALLY, some v6 SXT love😄! You made some very good points, and as a 53 year old, “old Skool KID”, I appreciate your good taste and appreciation of this highly underrated V6 muscle car. Thank you for you very honest, and hilarious video! Cheers! Any chance of you getting one for yourself??
Hey, I really appreciate you watching and taking your valuable time to leave your nice remarks! I think it’s fair to say I’ve been fixated on Challengers ever since living with this rental that one week in February 🤣. I’m pretty much a zombie watching any and all videos I can find that bring me back to the fun I had with this sweet ride. I am very hopeful prices at dealers will chill out over the coming months and I’m sure going to try to snag me one of these if I can continue fixing and sell a Jeep Liberty I’ve featured a few times on my channel. This Challenger is my incentive to just get things wrapped up on the Liberty to get it sold to free up the tiny cash it’ll likely generate. I presume you’ve got an SXT yourself or aspire to getting one. I love hearing about experiences from owners and anyone with eyes for these cars. I can fully understand the love of the RT and Scatpack flavors but the AWD option with the SXT just seems like something we’ll look back at and marvel Dodge was so smart to offer. Thanks again for your kind feedback and I hope to share a few more clips with my short time with this car…I truly miss it and who says that about rentals…shows what a good car this is 😎.
I could tell the dodge v6 in years will be a hidden gem
I concur! 👍. Thanks for watching and your input! 😎
Only a gem for repair shops to make money, crankshaft and timing chain issues, horrible engine
Unless that 3.6L V6 has recently been greatly modified from the factory from those used in Jeep Wrangler JKs/JLs and basically ALL Chrysler/Dodge vehicles the past decade, this engine has proven relatively reliable as "modern engines" go these days. Definitely not anvils like the good 'ol 4.0L I6 engines and I certainly don't like all the plastics in the V6s but sadly, it's just how things are made these days. I still think it's a good engine given the millions on the road chugging along. Thanks for watching and sharing your 2-cents.
Fantastic video! Last year I bought a 2021 Challenger SXT fully loaded and rear wheel drive! There's plenty of power as well as everything you mentioned. I drove it last winter with snows all the way around and 250lbs of weight over the rear axle......it handled just fine. Back in the early 80's, I learned to drive in a Mustang! Four cyl. four speed... when front wheel/ all wheel drive cars were few and far between. Cheers!
Thank you so much for watching and leaving your nice comment! 🙏 Congratulations on being so smart to pick up an SXT before prices kept going to the moon! I truly think your car will be worth holding onto. I love the range that V6 RWD has with a full tank and open road in front of it. Smart old-school but effective way to drive it in Winter! 👍 and you clearly grew up knowing how to handle the RWD…I dig that! I’m trying to gather up the funds and still need to sell off an older SUV before I can get serious on an SXT myself but I’m sure going to try and make it happen still this year. Enjoy your sweet car and hope you’ll stick around the channel as I’m hoping to add more Challenger videos as the year rolls along. 👍😎.
@@WorksIRL Last year when I bought her, I wanted a new one but the prices were a little to high for me. My SXT was a year old and only had 8k miles on it and I saved a lot of money! The only thing(besides AWD) it didn't come with was a sun roof.....and I was OK with that!.....I personally hate sun roofs! I look forward to more videos, so keep us in the loop! Cheers!
@@wizeguiz you did it right getting nearly brand new with so low miles that was barely even broken in all for lower price…perfect!! Funny, we must be cut from similar cloth since I’m not a sunroof fan either! If you got Navigation, I think that Challengers is the best I’ve ever experienced. Shows on the screen but also on drivers dash information display with simple directions. I just think that SXT V6 is utterly perfection! Old-school styling, more than enough power to fit the appearance, seats made for adults, smooth ride but still sporty-tight, fantastic mileage for a substantial car and just the right amount of tech that’s not obnoxious. Gee…you think I like it? 🤣. Again, appreciate the sharing here and happy, safe driving in your last great muscle car my friend 👍😎
I'm from another generation but had a very similar experience learning to drive. I got my license in 2002 BUT my first car was a 1987 Pontiac Firebird RWD. I of course was the only kid in my high school with a RWD car let alone a "muscle car". That kind of car as a new driver will either make or break you. I get so many compliments now of how good of a driver I am, especially in snow and rain. I attribute it to learning in that car. I miss that Firebird SO much and have wanted a new muscle car for years now. I was never satisfied with the new Camaro. I might have to give the Challenger some consideration.
That's so great to hear your story and I'd have to bet you're a rare driver in your age group for having that experience in those early young driver years! I fully concur that having learned that ability to tame your old Firebird's beastly rear-wheel drive characteristics in your early driver years will always stick with you 💪. I must say this Challenger is as close to that "old muscle car" feeling and I'm sad to see it going away. It's funny, this V6 had as much if not more power than my '71 Firebird with the V8...that V6 is no slouch! I truly can't imagine the V8 and I'd have to guess the "regular" R/T version with the 5.7L V8 would be more than enough but honestly, I liked this V6 as it was more than plenty for normal driving usage and still more than most cars on the road nowadays. Thanks for watching and sharing your young driving experience with your "classic" RWD and I hope you get a chance to drive one of these Challengers and I think you'll truly see what I mean about it being the last of a breed. Safe driving!
Im looking to get a challenger in the next year. I know a v6 is the smarter choice but that v8 is calling me
I completely understand that "call" 💪I personally think I'd go with the 5.7L since at least it can take the 87 octane fuel whereas the 6.4L and Hellcats need the more expensive fuel. Besides, the classic 5.7L V8 with a stick-shift would be my choice...BUT...I will say the V6 still worked perfectly well in this stylish car and seeing the HUGE range on a full tank sure makes this Challenger a "touring" type car begging for a nice, long road trip without any guilt that its mileage is even better than most smaller SUVs...It's a mental game and the sound of that V8 is really the only difference but the range and efficiency of the V6 has it's own draw...Good luck and please stop back and let us know what you go with when you finally pull the trigger! Thanks for watcing! 👍
For the women & men who work hard to get there money want to drive to work after 3 years of walking every day I think they should definitely buy a SXT
I completely agree! The SXT is no slouch in power or speed and is just a great, overall stylish new-retro car anybody should be proud to own and drive. Thanks for watching and sharing your opinions! 💪
I get mines this week for my birthday yayyyy😊
Wow! Super congratulations and Happy Birthday! That's one outstanding birthday present. Keep us posted when you get it and if you'd like me to post a photo(s) of it (...and with you if you'd like), email me and I'll post it my Community tab. Good luck and congrats, again! Thanks for watching, too!
Great choice! This is a good car I can’t wait to get mine.
Let us know when you get yours! 💪
Picked me up a last call SXT plus in sublime ! She’s a beauty 🙌
Sweet! Way to go and wow, that color is so great...I think in my Community tab some months ago I featured a young man that had just bought his and sent me photos to let me post...I love that color!! Have a great time with your sweet new Challenger and great timing with Summer coming up to have some great rides and cruising! Keep us posted and feel free to email me any photos you'd like me to post on the Community tab as I always like to see me some SXT Challengers! Great choice!! 💪
I just bought me a 2021 Dodge Charger SXT Plus and I'm loving it as my Daily. I wanted the Challenger but Gotta have room for the kids, lol.
Nice! I think that's a great "compromise" still getting a fun-to-drive car that's even still practical enough to allow kid-transport...I fully understand that and think that's a wise choice! Good luck with it and have fun with your sweet Charger...keep us posted how you like it over time. Thanks for watching and commenting! 👍
The 3.6 Pentastar does very well, you can get a tune and make a noticeable difference a real 40hp 40tq @ the wheels with 93 octane or E85 a little more..
Appreciate your comment and sharing your knowledge…those are impressive improvements in HP and torque!
I have Challenger GT 2019, best car I ever Owened
Good on you for picking one up when you did 💪👍. Last of the “real” cars in my opinion. Keep enjoying it! 👍😎
I have a 2017 GT with 121,000 trouble free miles on it. Replaced the spark plugs and coil packs at 100,000 miles. It has been such a great car.
@@kevinb7510 that’s awesome to hear your great experience and low maintenance. Thanks for watching and sharing how your gem of a car works in real life!! 👍🏁👏
Just picked up my 2023 Last Call frostbite blue Challenger and I love it!
Super congratulations! I love this Challenger in your Frost Bite Blue! Enjoy your sweet new ride and thanks for watching and sharing your news with us 💪!
I traded my 19 SXT plus for a 23 SXT plus, I live in Wisconsin. I used to be a Jeep guy too, but I would definitely pick the Challenger over the Jeep on a snowy road! 60,000 miles total in these cars so far, many more to drive
Congratulations! Good call to reset that winning SXT choice to get the last one and gain a few more years. Honestly, I know SXTs take some heat from the V8-fans but man, the SXT with the AWD system sure seems like the "Holly Grail" of muscle cars to us Midwesterners who normally would have to put away such a car for almost half the year. Enjoy your sweet ride and thanks for stopping by...hope you'll stick around. 👍
Yea my GT has awd too. It's all I really need. However I worry about working on it though, so many computers, sensors, and everything is plastic and electric. Best of luck with yours!
I really appreciate you watching and telling us about your GT…those are so sweet and beautifully optioned! I hear you on the electronic”-ification” but I’d hazard to say your GT is far more “old-school” than the later model designs given these Challengers came off the design tables from the early-mid 2000’s at least brakes and rotors can still be done without need for 2-way ODBII scanners which isn’t the case any more in lots of vehicles. Keep on enjoying your sweet ride and be proud you were smart enough to get one before it’s too late 💪😎.
Love my Challenger but as someone that doesn't live in the mid-west, you wouldn't catch me with a v6 the AWD isn't worth not having the nice rumble of the v8 or that roar when you step on it.
Oh, I can fully understand what you're saying and I'm positive once you've had a taste of that V8 power and sound it would be difficult to think of getting the V6. I do appreciate that Dodge offering the AWD to give Northerners/Midwesterners the chance to keep driving their Challengers year-round, though. Thanks for watching and sharing your passionate V8 viewpoint. I wish you a fun, V8-powered Summer throttling around in your sweet Challenger 💪
Great video I have an rt charger and I wish I had awd beautiful car by the way.
Having your RT Charger now that they've stopped the V8s altogether you're already owning the last of an era! 💪Thanks for watching and I really appreciate you taking time to leave your nice comment...I hope you'll stick around 👍
Very nice, I work for Ford so I am partial to the Mustangs but I have always liked the Challenger. I think Ford should have done an AWD Mustang. While I would love a V8 muscle car I can’t swing that cost and the Chrysler V6 is a potent motor to start with. Price is a lot better too. Good review. I’d like to see more on the AWD.
I’ve seen a number of comments along the lines that it takes intelligence and thought to appreciate the V6 given the high-octane fervor for the V8s. I 💯 get the lure of the V8s and that sound but these V6s are such a great match for daily usage balancing more than enough power to outperform most vehicles around us at any given moment on American roadways while providing better than Subaru Forster fuel economy and range all with flat-out killer, timeless muscular styling. I’m a real fan of their value in purchase and maintenance, too! Thanks for watching and sharing your Ford V6 Mustang insights, too! 💪😎.
My 2022 Granite grey Challenger GT is badass and I can easily bolt on a CAI and a RIPP and have a Hellcat Hunter people under estimate these cars at their peril
Great review. I love my challenger SXT in the same way🚗🇨🇦
Good on you for picking such a classic, stylish and great car! Thanks for watching and keep on enjoying your sweet ride! 💪👍
Hey my name is Thomas and I just recently purchased the same car you were driving. I had regrets about it at first because it was a V-6 but after watching this video I feel I made a better decision of getting it. Also wanted to let you know that it doesn’t have all wheel drive, but it still drives pretty good in the rain cause it rains pretty heavy where I live.
Oh, congrats on owning what is the very last, American muscle car, Thomas...great to meet you!! I'm super jealous and think you're smart for buying the V6, RWD Challenger. I think you made a great purchase decision getting the V6! I know the bias on the street has attitude for the V8s but they're not taking into account the V6 you've got is no sloth and it is perfectly tuned for your Challenger! That Pentastar is tuned so nicely pumping out 303-305hp on that platform. Sure, the V8s will cook-off the rear tires spinning them while the car stands still. To me, that just wastes hard-earned money. When fuel prices go back up, you can still drive your's without feeling any worse than the person driving a nondescript, plane-o-mobile import while you've got real style and comfort with the same fuel range and mileage. Then, when you're parked next to any of the all-look-alike transportation pods, I guarantee everyone's looking at your Challenger's muscular stance, stout rear haunches and mean front-end personality and 98% of people have no clue of V6 vs V8s under the hood. You're changing 6 spark plugs once every 100k miles while the V8 folks are changing 16 spark plugs every 30k miles! You're hammering away briskly from every stoplight and stop sign drinking 20-gallons of cheaper 87 octane fuel once every 350-450 miles while the V8 folks are guzzling $1.00 more-per-gallon 91-93 octane every 225-275 miles and that's only IF they're not hammering away from every traffic light and stop sign. You're also paying less insurance but have exactly the same looks they do! Your car is already more powerful and has better acceleration than 98% of the cars around you at any given time on American streets and highways. Your car is a touch above the AWD V6s since you don't have that added drivetrain load, rotational drag and gear surface friction from the AWD's BorgWarner front transfer case. Not to mention, the AWD system adds that much more mechanicals to maintain and one more component to potentially go bad and require expensive repair. If I were you, I'd proudly open my windows, turn up the awesome radio, don my sunglasses and enjoy driving what I think is one of the last great American muscle cars...Enjoy it!! Thanks for watching and I hope you'll stick around to keep us posted and share how much you're loving your Challenger!
@@WorksIRL wow thank you so much for the reply and so much insight and I will definitely keep you posted
Actually 2023 is the last year for the Charger and challengers. I got a 2023 Challenger GT. Was going to get the RT with the V8 bur I got the hemi orange package and it's only available on the GT RWD and SRT I think. Anyhow if you buy a tazer you can put the RT IN ECO mode and save gas. You can also force the AWD into RWD only. You should check out a tazer for your v6. Made by Z automotive. They add so many features. Also make it extremely easy to do burnouts even with a v6. You can activate line lock which locks your fronts brakes allowing you to do stand still burnouts because your front solenoids are locked and your back wheels spin freely. Maybe try youtube for v6 tazer burnout or something. You'll want it lol.
Great video buddy
Thank you so much for watching and taking time to leave your nice comment! 🙏
Plus you can go around feeling like a State Patrolman too, Eh? And no VVT, ? . if so,, I'm all in ! Thanks for the ride!
Seriously! 🤣 The short time I drove this it definitely gives you attitude 😎🤣. I’m afraid the V6 does have VVT but I can attest that later-model 3.6L is solid as I had it in my 2015 Jeep and I think it’s a great power plant. Great mileage for the power and peppiness and easiest oil changes ever…canister oil filter top-accessible right in the middle…makes oil changes easy though Jeep didn’t need ramps sitting so high and Challenger would need ramps to get underneath to drain oil. I like this V6 Challenger and if I could swing buying one, I would. Thanks for watching and coming along!! 👍😎
Just got a 2017 last Tuesday black top edition with 26k on millage
Sweet!! Super congratulations and with so low miles it’s not even broken in!! 👊💪Love that Blacktop package, too! Enjoy and keep us posted how you’re liking it 👍
You've helped me with some fixes and I want to say thank you
I appreciate your support of my channel…thank you!!
Goddamn I love this video. So excited to buy this car one day
I truly appreciate your enthusiasm for my video and the Challenger! It's a great car and I wish you the best getting a Challenger👍Keep us posted when you do!
@@WorksIRL Wow, thank you man. I'll immediately do notify if I buy it🫡😼
Very good my friend 👍
Thank you for your continued support as always, brother 🙏
All that money and the tail lights can't even line up...come on dodge
I do think all these new cars are outlandishly priced and have come to understand all brands have a luck of the draw on quality, fit and finish. I will say, at least with the V6 the price is a bit less painful. Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion. 👍
@@WorksIRL It is a beautiful car, the miss aligned brake lights just trigger my OCD, first thing i would address if i had one...
I get you! 👍🤣@@azzaahhYT
@@azzaahhYTfunny thing is , I noticed mine yesterday, opened and closed it soft and bam , fixed
Justed rented one. Drove from Vegas to San Diego. Rare thunderstorms. Hydroplaning was a problem crossing the mountains. Rear wheel drive typical. Really good MPG. Way better than expected. 60 to 75 mph pickup as good as a V6 gets. The only disappointment is it sounds like a V6. Nothing like a V8.
I'm curious if your rental had the all-wheel-drive system since not all SXT V6 models have that driveline feature...it makes a huge difference and comes on automatically when the wipers are turned on. I found it really helped control the usual rear-wheel-only squirminess in in-climate weather. I'm presuming you were on I-15 the "Grapevine" (??)...if so, yes, that's a dangerous 40-mile stretch through the mountains in any car let alone thunderstorm conditions with all the rain currently hitting Southern CA. I drove that in a V6 Chevy Camaro when I was 17 way back in 1984 while working at the Olympics that Summer and it had horrible headlights and that V6 sucked!! 🤣Car looked sweet and fast but it struggled to maintain speed up those mountain grades from LA to Vegas and back to LA...I even drove it up to Lake Tahoe and that Camaro V6 just didn't have the guts it needed for any inclines. All the more reason why I loved that Challenger SXT V6 as it was truly just what the doctor ordered for style, power and economy! Glad you liked it, too...well, except for the hydroplaning 🫤! Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!...Oh, I completely agree on the engine sound, too...just can't beat a V8 for that!! 💪
I own a 2019 Challenger GT. It's a nice car but the V-6 Pentastar engine should have gotten a 25hp boost by 2023. At 305hp it lacks torque. The SXT and GT's are not muscle cars in this day and age.
I think the term "muscle car" is definitely one that needs to be qualified by "compared to what and when" given some mini-vans and cross-overs likely have more horsepower and torque as the vast majority of "muscle cars" from the "REAL era"🤣. I suspect the "future muscle cars" will be I6 or V6s with turbos as the "King of the Hill" engines. Thanks for watching and sharing your experience and thoughts with your '19 GT which I think is a cool looking, nicely performing car that looks better than the average blando-cars currently on the road no matter what!
High falutin ??? Had to look that one up on the old Google machine. Is the AWD something you can turn on and off? Like if you're in an empty parking lot and you really want to draw big circles on the pavement
🤣…Please forgive me, as my daughter says, I tend to slip into “old-man speak” without realizing it 👴🏻🤣. Without looking up the user manual, here’s what I deduced regarding the AWD system from living with it during my business travels…AWD mode is turned on automatically when you turn on the wipers for more than a certain number of minutes, outside temperature is 37-degrees or less (might be 40-degrees but temps never got above 37 on my trip so not 100% certain on exact temp), you engage “manual-mode” on the automatic transmission shifter, or when the computer senses significant wheel spinning which would defeat burn-outs. Now I know the V8 crew will make fun of the V6 but I will tell you this thing “connects” and lays down all the traction the tires have just short of them slipping in my opinion. It gets out of its own way that’s for sure. I think turning off the ESC or whatever they call electronic stability control may also turn off AWD but I didn’t do it since it was a rental and I once had an “strike” upon returning a rental years ago because they were able to detect is done so (different car make/model). I need to find spec’s on this AWD system but I think it’s likely from Daimler Mercedes days owning Chrysler and they used to have BorgWarner VDC traction units on the big Mercedes at the time so again, I’m sure it’s a good system because it was handling some pretty white-knuckle icy roads I hit headed home but didn’t dare record as I was tired and didn’t want to end up in the ditch. Thanks for watching, my friend!
High Falutin' comes form the river boat days, The upper crust people could only be on the upper level of the boat where the Smoke Stacks with the Flutes were.
Cool factoid!! Thanks for sharing that…I love hearing where those phrases started and amazing how they carry through the ages! 💪👍

I'm presuming you're making fun of it in a "presentable way" so I appreciate you respecting not using less-favorable words. I have to disagree, nonetheless. I think the SXT is a perfect balance of usable-power, efficiency and providing that muscle car styling. Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion! 👍
@@WorksIRL to each their own man, But a American pony car but with a v6!? Outrageous.
@@16hundredA V6 with more horsepower than many of the original V8 muscle cars I grew up with not to mention with AWD so you can actually drive it decently all year but it is hard to beat that V8 sound, no question. Happy New Year to you!
@@WorksIRL happy new years brother man.
