I just ordered a 2022 R/T 3 weeks ago...being built as we speak should take delivery in early june...I treated myself for my milestone birthday and I'm excited as hell...
I got the dodge challenger 5.7 RT and love the ride.. the black on black all around is 👍👍👍 and one of the main reason is because no more hemi v8 in production.. yeah the electric will be fine but it wont have the soul of the combustible engine like these..
He needs to get into apps and hit the power setting and should be able to activate sport and track mode. Thats what I did and works real well. I have the 5.7 liter shaker. Blacked out. Great ride.
Sasha Nicole did you get yours in F8 green? My 19 is, best color ever! It was revived from the original Challenger/Charger/Cuda line up. Did you get the Plus and Blacktop package as well?
Chris The Hobbyist Yep Same here!! Everyone always tells me how they’ve never seen that color. I have some yellow bumper protectors on it also which makes it stand out a little more, I didn’t like them on there at first but I decided to keep them on because it makes the car look different in a good way. I’m pissed off because week before last some guy ran a stop sign and hit me in the rear driver side. Dented it up pretty good but I’m taking it to a body shop this Friday. I just hope they do a good job! Can’t have nothing nice these days.
Sasha Nicole I took my protectors off, sanded and painted them black. They are supposed to be discarded but they serve a purpose and fit like they were made to be permanent so why not keep them? And I’m so sorry to hear some asshole hurt your Challenger :( I’m so anal about mine that I’ll park at the end of a parking lot, always watching my rear view, etc. I hope the body shop does a great job!!! They better!
The upgraded exhaust was the best addition they made to these new R/T's. Sounds like old school glass pack mufflers. Makes it hard to keep your foot out of it though
Gotta love those new hoods. The 19 RT’s and up now have the old SRT hoods. I have an 18 RT so my hood is still the old one and I’m still mad about it ! Lol great looking car 👍🏼
Manual trans = limited slip rear differential. Autos are open diff. That alone makes going stick even more appealing. Already tuned for premium fuel and 3 more horsepower. Mine has the ZF 8 speed, but only because I couldn't find a T/A with the Tremec within 150 miles of me. It's literally the only thing I would change. It has grown on me though. The thing is aggressive af. Not like autos of yesteryear, for sure. Aston Martin and Alfa Romeo use a version of it in some of their cars.
@ about the 10:27 mark. Would have been nice if you were In manual (paddle shifter) mode. When you took that corner & down the way. You could of had it in 2nd gear about 25-30mph then gassed it & popped it into 3rd. It would have popped so loudly! 🤷🏽♂️🥂💯🙇🏽♂️
Okay.. so..we got one... My Son... now... we're old folks.. but been around..,we grew up on rear wheel drive vehicles. Our kids only had front drive... so..we have to teach them... cars always have been.
8:55 i got the boston acoustics speaker system factory, and it is the best factory system i ever heard. its so good. i hear ya about bad factory. i have had many
Japoop Sabeano Thanks for replying, do you know if the charger with the sun roof has the same head space ? Just asking because I like having a sun roof but I guess I could get over it.
Yeah man got my F8 green a couple months ago, getting about 17 city. Haven’t done much Highway but did a 200 mile trip and got 24. Most solid, yet smooth, roomy, loaded, comfy, and luxurious car on the road in America in my opinion!!! I recommend the Plus and blacktop package. Sun roof is nice too. Plus a tune, still gotta do mine.
Ryan Kuhlenschmidt well the body design hasn’t changed since they launched in what, 2008? But I’ve personally not had any visibility issues. It has a huge rear window, but yes the trunk sits pretty high. Then there’s the small quarter windows and the head rest issue, again, hasn’t been an issue with me changing lanes but I have the passenger seat back so it’s out of the way. I reverse into spaces with the rear view camera which has the guide lines and a wide field of view. Mirror indicators make changing lanes quicker and safer as well. Rent one with the back up camera and mirror indicators and see if they’ve improved. I rented two a couple months apart and was like yep, I can live with this. Bought mine in April and haven’t had any visibility issues. I’ve test drove other vehicles with far worse visibility.
Chris The Hobbyist I haven’t had visibility issues and I don’t even have the blind spot monitors. I just position the mirror on the passenger side to look further out and I can pretty much see the entire lane next to me. That and just driving responsible and being aware of your surroundings
Idk if this is a actual 2019 model, mite be a 2017 cause my 2019 RT comes with sport and super tracks button, this one has launch and drive mode so idk if this is the current model but your right the interior and everything else is the same, I think performance packages are different
my 73 duster with a 360 we put in it,would run high 13,s in drive easily,and is maybe 1000 pounds lighter than this, i couldnt afford none of them anyway,an i love mopar...only...cant wait to see the new dodge cuda,they say there working on them,all speculation etc..if we live,we shall see it, dodges only flaw was the weight of these challengers,an id never own a 4 door charger,sure there great,but it dont seem right,an way heavy anyway,but anything beats mustang,or camaro,or dumb looking imports that i hate..mopar, or no car regardless...............
Thanks for speedy reply so I would think if i got that model all I had to do in order to use buttons and performance pages is upgrade radio to 8.4 uconnect ?
Definitely dislike the handles! First time I've heard this in a review. I absolutely love my Challenger, but the handles gotta go! Lol great video bro! Keep at it man!
Question for you guys I’m in the market this model 2019 R/T it’s for 27,000 it has 16,000 miles I have a 730 credit score but I’m a first time buyer would I need a co-signer or should I be good with 1,000 down? Thanks for your help!
G Ryders appreciate it man! What would you recommend in terms of a down payment or should I just roll with what they are saying it’s going to be about 600 a month
it all depends on how much you can afford. I would recommend a putting down 5-10% to help keep those payments lower. But again it all depends on how much you can afford.
Junk..I owned a 2016 shaker..fit and finish was terrible, not one quarter panel fit correctly gaps everywhere,,didn't own it for long,,traded it for a zl1 camaro,, beautiful car,,fit and finish is bang on,,6.2 chev motor runs like a fine oiled machine..sorry mopar guys..
Interesting. I have a 16 challenger and interior fit and finish seems really nice to me. Only complaint is the rattle from the windows buttons when the music is bumpin
Sedric Pitchford bro I asked the same question No comments back about it ? I talked to a woman who actually ended up getting it at a gas station in my town. Her shit was LOUD and she did no modifications He also said it’s a stock car and mentioned how loud it is stock. Wow that sound is beautiful. I would buy it alone on the sound. I love this car been wanting to get one since it came out
@@therocknrollgypsy667 Yea it has to be a different exhaust set up on the newer models. Mine sounds pretty nice now. All i did was chop off the resonators and replaced it with straight pipe. and i also installed an after market cold air intake. I plan on getting a borla catback exhaust eventually.
@@sedric405 2017 and up have the active exhaust with butterfly type valves. I thought my 2017 was modded when the dealer started it up. No need to change that exhaust unless your making big power.
I have a 2019 rt 5.7 with stock exhaust and it is a beautiful sound. It's much louder when you put it in sport mode, so it's there when you want it. Take it out of sport mode on the highway for no drone.
I don’t kno what da hell kinda charger rt you drove but a challenger rt sure as hell cant beat a charger rt my boy works at the dodge dealer an a charger is arrow dynamically betta then the challenger if they have the same engine the charger wins every time not even close 🤦🏾♂️
Dave Foss chargers are strictly automatic tho which is for pussys who want some thing fast but don’t want to actually drive the car. I can tell you from personal experience that a stick shift challenger FEELS much faster than a auto charger.
Quan Brown look it up I’m talkin facts chargers an arrow dynamically better with acceleration an top speed as the cars go faster it’s better to manage an is weight distributed much better which make its feel like a sports car then a muscle car 💯
We just bought a 2020 challenger RT I absolutely love it the exhaust sounds amazing
9:42 holy shit, that sounds perfectly
I just ordered a 2022 R/T 3 weeks ago...being built as we speak should take delivery in early june...I treated myself for my milestone birthday and I'm excited as hell...
Just the sound alone make anybody want to buy that car
Man that exhaust is beastly!
Absolutely! There is no substitute for the Hemi Roar...
I got the dodge challenger 5.7 RT and love the ride.. the black on black all around is 👍👍👍 and one of the main reason is because no more hemi v8 in production.. yeah the electric will be fine but it wont have the soul of the combustible engine like these..

I love my 2019 F8 R/T Green Challenger!! I still want to add some features to it though. Oh by the way I name my cars and his name is AMMO!...lol. 🤗🤗🤗
Sasha Nicole did you get yours in F8 green? My 19 is, best color ever! It was revived from the original Challenger/Charger/Cuda line up. Did you get the Plus and Blacktop package as well?
Chris The Hobbyist Yes I have the F8 Green. I didn’t get the plus or blacktop package, wish I did! What color is your Challenger?
Sasha Nicole F8 Green as well! Rarely see them which is awesome to me. Get so many compliments
Chris The Hobbyist Yep Same here!! Everyone always tells me how they’ve never seen that color. I have some yellow bumper protectors on it also which makes it stand out a little more, I didn’t like them on there at first but I decided to keep them on because it makes the car look different in a good way.

Facts!!!
Your music is way too loud dude
Nice review!! My RT Plus Shaker is menacing.... I love the 6 speed manual stick too...
I’ve now made my decision thank you 🙏
The music in the background is to loud
Bro good presentation but that drive mode button ur pressing just takes u to that main touch screen and u work it from there.
I think the buttons didn’t work cause it was a 7 inc u connect if the car is upgraded to the 8.4 UConnect screen they should work
Damn near sounds straight piped, like mine!
Gotta love those new hoods. The 19 RT’s and up now have the old SRT hoods. I have an 18 RT so my hood is still the old one and I’m still mad about it ! Lol great looking car 👍🏼
U sure that exhaust is stock? Sounds like it had a muffler delete done. Sounds nice though.
That is stock 2017 and above came with the active exhaust they all sound like that it’s great
Not 100 percent sure of that. I have a 2018 with active exhaust and it doesn’t sound like yours. 🤷♂️
Great color. I have a 2017 RT manual in Max Steel.
2016 rt manual. Love it! Blacked out
This is a great review Id love to see your thoughts on the 2020 Challenger 50th anniversary if possible the rt shaker automatic.
Great video my guy...very impressive. You gotta review the Hertz special edition Hendricks Motorsports Camaro (SS or ZL1) when you get a chance!!!!
Love my 2019 RT. Manual trans

@@Jeremy_810 pretty sure the full autos are faster but that may just be for the scat pack idk
Good review, love the look of the car.
I actually got 31 mpg today but 16 in city is definitely right
@ about the 10:27 mark. Would have been nice if you were In manual (paddle shifter) mode. When you took that corner & down the way. You could of had it in 2nd gear about 25-30mph then gassed it & popped it into 3rd. It would have popped so loudly! 🤷🏽♂️🥂💯🙇🏽♂️
this made me miss my challenger
@Sidney Celeste traded it in for a truck. if i could afford both i would.
Okay.. so..we got one... My Son... now... we're old folks.. but been around..,we grew up on rear wheel drive vehicles. Our kids only had front drive... so..we have to teach them... cars always have been.
Sounds so nasty!👍
8:55 i got the boston acoustics speaker system factory, and it is the best factory system i ever heard. its so good. i hear ya about bad factory. i have had many
Nice video! Best one on RUclips at the moment 👌
I got it cuz Of the sound and style mad sexy forst car 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Challenger all the way 2016 rt black top with scatpack stage 1 kit install🥰
perfect car for a u.s marine like me 👌🏾
Great review....how much is this car for all the features it has?
I just drove one and loved it but the roof pillar near the sun roof was rubbing my head bc I’m kind of tall
Skip the sunroof. You'll have several more inches of headroom & It'll be lighter
Japoop Sabeano Thanks for replying, do you know if the charger with the sun roof has the same head space ? Just asking because I like having a sun roof but I guess I could get over it.
The Charger has a little more interior room
Yeah man got my F8 green a couple months ago, getting about 17 city. Haven’t done much Highway but did a 200 mile trip and got 24. Most solid, yet smooth, roomy, loaded, comfy, and luxurious car on the road in America in my opinion!!! I recommend the Plus and blacktop package. Sun roof is nice too.

Chris The Hobbyist hey Chris, I drove one of the earlier models and the visibility in the back was pretty bad. Did they improve on that?
Ryan Kuhlenschmidt well the body design hasn’t changed since they launched in what, 2008? But I’ve personally not had any visibility issues. It has a huge rear window, but yes the trunk sits pretty high.

Very nice video. Well done! Thanks for posting it.
thank you for the review! Hope you get to 5k!
excellent review, best ive seen so far
Aside from the music you did a good job at the review g. 💯
I just got an identical challenger to this. It’s the best thing I ever bought haha
Reliable?
Honestly, this color or black for the R/T. Very subtle.
I’ve got one but it’s a Blacktop love it too the moon and back
Idk if this is a actual 2019 model, mite be a 2017 cause my 2019 RT comes with sport and super tracks button, this one has launch and drive mode so idk if this is the current model but your right the interior and everything else is the same, I think performance packages are different
it has to be it has a hood scoop
which means it's 2019 or above
This put a smile on my face
my 73 duster with a 360 we put in it,would run high 13,s in drive easily,and is maybe 1000 pounds lighter than this, i couldnt afford none of them anyway,an i love mopar...only...cant wait to see the new dodge cuda,they say there working on them,all speculation etc..if we live,we shall see it, dodges only flaw was the weight of these challengers,an id never own a 4 door charger,sure there great,but it dont seem right,an way heavy anyway,but anything beats mustang,or camaro,or dumb looking imports that i hate..mopar, or no car regardless...............
Great review bro thanks but question did the car have a 7 inc you connect or 8.4 u connect ?
It had the standard 7 inch.
Thanks for speedy reply so I would think if i got that model all I had to do in order to use buttons and performance pages is upgrade radio to 8.4 uconnect ?
If the Challenger feels more punchy, its probably the difference in gear ratios between the two
Dope content bro.. 💯
I have a base model 2019 Rt Challenger and mine has sports mode button instead of those drive mode buttons
Weird. How long have you had it?
Same
My 2018 has the same button. I don't have paddle shifters though.
Doubt if I buy this car or Mustang
This is old school looking!
I traded my mustang for a 5.7 challenger... I'll never go back! Hellcat is next!
Definitely dislike the handles! First time I've heard this in a review. I absolutely love my Challenger, but the handles gotta go! Lol great video bro! Keep at it man!
I heard that u have to hold down on the launch button for about 5 sec before it works?
Stock
Vid would be better without the background music!
Is that a stock exhaust ???
Great review man
Yes that is the stock exhaust!! It’s so great!!!! Thanks!!!
Good thing didnt get a charger dunt even know why they use the name charger if its not even a 2 door
is that stock exhaust ?
love you man nicce review
That is the stock exhaust!
Wow I cant believe its stock
Salute to you my brother! Got the same one except my rims are brass monkey. Beautiful cars man!
Does any one know the stock exhaust size is? There seems to be no info on the 2019 rt model.
Where do you live? It's beautiful there
I live in Oregon!
No way that stick damnnnn
great review !!!
Those buttons are there and they don’t work smh
What next gen are you talking about? Dodge stated that they are staying with this model up to 2023 minimum.
When I made this video I was only speculating.
Also I need this in July when it wasn’t officially yet when the new one is coming.
wait, a trunk thats lined up? weird!
Question for you guys I’m in the market this model 2019 R/T it’s for 27,000 it has 16,000 miles I have a 730 credit score but I’m a first time buyer would I need a co-signer or should I be good with 1,000 down? Thanks for your help!
With a score like that you should not need a co-signer.
G Ryders appreciate it man! What would you recommend in terms of a down payment or should I just roll with what they are saying it’s going to be about 600 a month
it all depends on how much you can afford. I would recommend a putting down 5-10% to help keep those payments lower. But again it all depends on how much you can afford.
Is that the standard exhaust? Thanks
It is the standard exhaust!
@@GRyders Wow! Thanks
What did you do to the exhaust to get it to sound like that?
It’s stock from 2018 and above.
💪
good video bro
Big and bulky drives like grand marquis
Lol not at all

Interesting. I have a 16 challenger and interior fit and finish seems really nice to me. Only complaint is the rattle from the windows buttons when the music is bumpin
Nice video.
Holy crap! Is that stock exhaust? My 2015 challenger RT didn’t sound near that good when I first bought it.
Sedric Pitchford bro I asked the same question
No comments back about it ?
I talked to a woman who actually ended up getting it at a gas station in my town. Her shit was LOUD and she did no modifications

hope they dont change it too much in the 2020 model.
They are not the change is happing for the 2021 model year.
@@GRyders oh alright even more time to save up.
Great review!
Do you have to use the plus and minus
For what?
Could you or not
😃👍👍
Good review but work on the stuttering my dude...
Kyle Hildebrand His stuttering isn’t a distraction. Being a life-long stutterer myself I thought he did damn good.
Bro you're awesome! Thanks for this.
Nice car subscribed
I don’t kno what da hell kinda charger rt you drove but a challenger rt sure as hell cant beat a charger rt my boy works at the dodge dealer an a charger is arrow dynamically betta then the challenger if they have the same engine the charger wins every time not even close 🤦🏾♂️

Actually listen next time

How is it more of a sports car?
