    Most people don’t realize that this is the ONLY way you can get an AWD v8 charger. (Police model)

      It's not the only way, but it's the only way you can get one with the facelift. They offered an AWD R/T in the 2011-14 models.

    Anyone can get a retired charger but the fact they left it fully equipped is very rare, be careful some states don’t even allow you to drive on roadways if you have that equipment on the car.

    I had the exact same thinking when I bought my rebuilt 2019 (crashed into the side) hemi awd. It only had 1700 idle hours and 60k miles so I had to grab it as this will be my first and last charger as they don't make them (in a hemi) anymore! I will be getting it rusty by driving on the salt covered roads, but I will wash it as much as I can to see how long I can keep it for. Mine is also stripped down and civilianized, running some 18" aftermarket wheels.

    The 5.7 Hemi and AWD should have stayed. Think they had issues with the new 8speed and AWD but I would have been fine with the face lift abd keep the 5speed and 5.7. In Wisconsin, IL, IN, OH,MN, IA And up in Canada the AWD lets u have 1 car instead of the Hemi and finding a winter beater

    No permit required. Civilians can get them once retired by agency or if police officer buys for personal use then decides to sell. I gotten two low miles pursuits with rare street appearance package.

    Awesome! I have 2015 Ford Police Interceptor Sedan with 3.7L AWD. Its amazing car. I almost went for Charger but went for FPIS instead. It was cheaper and I could afford that time. Right now I probably should have got the Charger but reliability is better with FPIS. Also FPIS is around 1000 lbs heavier than Charger.

    I bought a 2019 Charger 75k miles Hemi AWD Pursuit last year (~20k) on halloween and drove around with that red dome light on just to look cool...:LOL! Hey, I have a question. Did these cars with the 5.7 AWD ever have the MDS system? I had a MDS in a 14 5.7 Hemi Challenger and it seemed to work good, about 25 MPG when driving normally. This 19 Charger gets around 18 MPG with the AWD...

    Do they upgrade the suspension, drivetrain, and the body strength like the Crown Vic?
    (IIRC, Crown Vic have the P71 package, and somehow the chassis is stronger than the regular one) Do the charger have the same feature?
    thanks

      Yes they do. Transmission, alternator, suspension, breaks, and engine cooling are different from RT models in the pursuit varient.

    It was shipped that way due to it being diactivated. The computer/ its real name the brain, is missing. Thouse are REALLY expensive and requires programming. Outfitters partnerd with whelen or federal signal (the maker of your lightbar is federal signal, and the other lights around are whelen) are very unlikely to give you and program one for you.

      Also the pursuit chargers, 2020 was the last year you could get the pursuit in AWD with the V8 5 speed, 21,22,23 switched to either a V6 AWD or a V8 RWD with an 8 speed, they are now officially discontinued in 2024.

      You have no idea what you are talking about. That little black box in the trunk equipment tray is what controls every light on that thing except the ones on the roof. Since his PA works, all those lights work. He's just not saying it so people like you don't say dumb things like you have said.

    You are not required to have a permit to buy one of these. do cops and ex cops like to buy them? yes. thats usually why dealerships ask. Anyone or their grandma can buy one used you do not need a permit. Willing to bet you didn't check the engine hours on this before buying it. You can absolutely still buy a 2023 dodge charger with a V8 right now, the V8 was not discontinued. Check your facts before stating them perhaps.
