Sometimes, you get a cool rental car. I rented a 2017 Dodge Challenger R/T (www.dodge.com/challenger) from National (www.nationalcar.com), complete with a 375 HP Hemi engine. Here's a drive and review of this cool, retro muscle car.
As an Executive-level member of National's Emerald Club, in major airports I can go right to the Executive section of the car lot and pick any car I want. This Challenger R/T was one of the options. No waiting, no standing in line at the counter, I go right to the car and go.

Nothing looks as badass and beastly as a challenger. I'll take one over a camaro or mustang any day. Challengers are also more practical.
I was really impressed. I also drove and reviewed the 2018 V6 model, which was also really, really nice. Thanks for watching.
I completely agree! I love old muscle cars and this car totally captures the essence of the classics. Looks like an evil, scary car. Haha I love it.
Nah Camaros look the nicest
I love this car! I just bought The R/T Challenger! Mine has the navigation! The car is a ton of fun to drive!!!!
Great car, congrats. A lot of performance and value for the money.
Is it worth it? How much did you give for downpayment ?
Dude listening again...still looking at this while lease comes due next month. The sound of active exhaust!!! Makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck!!! Awesomeness!👍👍👍
Thanks for watching. I think it's a great car for the price.
One of my favorite Dodge cars, love the R/T. I want to buy one, plus my baby girl will be riding in a muscle car like me when I was a baby. I come from a family that owns muscle cars. So it's a must have. 💖💖💖
Great car and a great value! Thank you very much for watching. I hope to review a 2020 model in the next few months.
hope you have one by now or get one, and be safe out there
The 410 TQ, is what really gives this heavy car it's punch !! 🙂🙂
Is that the motor you are talking about?
Thanks for watching and please subscribe!
@@FreddySherman Yep, the 5.7 you tested...Just FYI, the Charger R/T, is 395 TQ :):) I will subscribe, Luxury Fred 🙂🙂
@@davidgeerling9871 Cool, thank you for the info and for subscribing. I also reviewed the SXT: ruclips.net/video/VOSS4-Or8MQ/видео.html (on my other channel)
Gotta gotta love the feel of a heavy yet powerful ride, bikes included. Perfect touring car with a sporty side. A Corsa extreme exhaust is nasty on it
I also really like the SXT with the V6. ruclips.net/video/VOSS4-Or8MQ/видео.html
No fake sound enhancement in the Challenger. I gather BMW, Audi and Ford do that - fake engine sounds piped through the stereo system. I rented a 5.7 RT before buying a 6.4L RT Scat Pack last year. The 5.7 is fun, but the 6.4L is waaay more fun! :)
Great choice!!!! I learned all about the different models when writing the written review, they really offer some incredible cars.
I bought the Demon...WAY MORE FUN than your Scat Pack
@@rclarkrep100 how would you describe the acceleration
for a sec (my first time watching a video of yours) I thought I was in the car with Ringo Starr when you went for the ride xD Great video brother, cool car !
Haha, thank you very much for watching the video brother. that's funny, a couple of other people have commented that on my RUclips videos, but I had never heard that before in my life. Maybe it's the beard. this one was a quick review, be sure to watch one of my more fancy ones like the Rolls-Royce ones I've done recently. Again thank you very much for watching the video I appreciate it.
@@FreddySherman the sunglasses help, as well :-) alright, see you around !
@@NowsNu Thank you.
Great video! Theirs a 2017 RT Dodge Challenger near me with 33k miles on it and the asking price is $25,000 It’s a steal in my opinion!
I was very impressed, although I really liked the base V6 model too. $25K seems a bit high for that car, but the mileage is low. Let me know if you get it and thanks for watching the video.
I found a 2017 hemi with 34k miles for 26,000
Cheap. I paid $32k with same miles for a 2016 rt plus in manual
This rental does not have track pack/sport suspension. That option would improve handling. Good review sir!
Thanks for watching and good to know about the suspension. I figured it was the base model, although it did have the Hemi V8.
Great vid. Thanks!
Thanks for watching it. I really do think it's a great car for the money. And they have a lot of specials on it, I have seen this model for a $199/month lease payment here in LA.
Please subscribe to my channel, I hope to review the 2021 Challenger soon.
Hey Fred, thanks for the video.......Very well done , you gave a presentation better than a Dodge ad, fine job on your home work buddy.......This has to be the coolest looking retro on the market, I'm hoping that Dodge will keep this look for at least a few more years to come........For me , my choice would be the SXT PLUS package, I would prefer the V6 only because of the better gas mileage, but at the same time you have all the luxury with the leather and smoother quieter ride.........Either way my friend , a very beautiful car......Thanks .
Thank you for watching and for the kind comments! I have not tried the V6 but think you really need a V8 if you're getting a Challenger.
rear and front changes are nice. Most people were making those aftermarket changes in 2010 not liking the hemi badge on the side. That should be left on the chargers just my opinion.
I agree the badge should be on there. I hope to drive some of the more performance models this year, like the Hellcat or Shaker or Scat Pack. Thanks for watching.
1960's? The first Challenger came out in 1970.
My bad, you're correct. Developed in 1969 but released for the 1970 model year. Thanks for watching!
He may be too young to have been born by 1970.
Big fan of the challenger n nice beat intro u should b a dj
Thanks for watching!
Love this car love the music too what's the name
I have a ‘17 and I love it!! I’ve never driven anything like it but of course NOW I want more (Hellcat?). Anyways that cackle when you hit the midrange RPM I swear dodge engineered a 4-barrel double-pumper into it somehow 🤷🏻♂️👍🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Very cool, which engine does yours have??
And thanks for watching!
Luxury Fred 5.7. I want more!
@@cirilomedina1474 well they got like five of those super high-performance models if you want to upgrade!
Add a throttle booster device to wake up the throttle response and that should be enough. Plenty of power
of course ,but I think that we missed the point. what I'm saying is that, if the camaro and the mustang weight was the same as the challenger ,the challenger would smoke the two every time.
I agree. But it's a bigger car, so not a realistic comparison.
I’ve seen 5.7 Hemis Dynode at 350 to the wheels witch is believed to be a 415 horsepower engine.
It feels medium fast. THanks for watching.
If it didn’t weigh as much as 15 elephants it would be fast.
I got one it's pretty fast
Great video
Thank you for watching it!
That's a heavy beast.... Still a good looking muscle car though!
I think they got the styling right too.
What material do the seats bring?
This was a base version with cloth seats. Leather seats are optional. Thanks for watching the video.
2018 dodge challenger rt reviews
Hi! What is exact difference in feeling between this one and 3.6? I mean there is not a big difference in hp, not very big difference in 0-60 times but there is significant difference in torque. I assume that this transfers into low end torque sensations. I'm only guessing so please confirm or contradict my thoughts but I get the feeling that in 5.7 you touch the pedal slightly and you feel (and hear) that the power is there. You don't have to step on it to feel that. So when you drive in town and you can't really attack the gas pedal 3.6 must seem slow and heavy because he needs rpms to show his potential whereas 5.7 is like a sleeping beast all the time. Am I right?
I haven't driven the 3.6 Dodge but I think you are exactly right. I have driven the V6 Camaro and a 3.6 Charger and again, you've got it, the smaller engine needs to work harder. Both are also affected by whether you have the car in Sport mode. I think you need to drive both if you're thinking of buying one or the other, to see if the feel and power is worth the extra money and slightly lower MPG. Thank you for watching!
I have the 5.7 hemi in my 09 Challenger and the 3.6 pentastar in my Jeep Wrangler. The 3.6 is a great engine, I quite like it in my Jeep, but the 5.7 in my Challenger is a really kick ass! The 1/4 mile time difference between your average SE and R/T will be about 1.3-1.5 seconds difference, which is a fair bit. The best part about the 5.7 is the 410 lb/ft of torque. You can spin the tires until they explode or do doughnuts for days if you wanted, the power is there. Not only that, the torque really makes the car feel fast as well. If I take my car around 3000rpm and then hammer it, it really pins you back in your seat and the sound is great the whole time as well. Having said that some guys with the 3.6 SE's have gotten 14.6's out of them stock which is pretty good for a heavy car with a V6.
I agree, there's no substitute for torque!
0-60 is 4.9-5.0 in the 5.7 and about 6.4 in the v6. That's a big difference. The sound is night and day, but you have to get the right year with the right exhaust. My 15 5.7 was dead silent like an 80 Cadillac or a Lexus. So quiet you couldn't tell if it was even running. I had to get a custom exhaust to hear it. I think they fixed that in 2017. They don't need to pipe in sound with a big v8. Not sure what this guy was thinking. Doesn't seem to know anything about cars. If you get an R/T get it with super track pack. It's night and day. I'd get a scat pack if I had it to do over again. It's a lot faster once you get going, it sounds better, and has far better throttle response.
John Jones how about gas mileage in the city? I’m deciding between getting a used RT or the RT with the scat pack . I currently drive a 2011 v6 mustang and get 17 to the gallon. I also live in Chicago too where traffic can be a fuckn nightmare lol
sorry also i love the car as it is but it is at 27000 at the total price would you say it is worth it for 609 a month
You are missing the length of the loan @ 600 a month. If you have good credit, the interest rate should be almost 0. So if your loan is $27,000 for 48 months, then 600 a month is OK.

Sorry, just did the 2017. This was a random review since I normally cover luxury cars.
Thanks for watching and please subscribe!
This nigga got the drone nd shit lmao You get an "A" for effort.
Thank you!
70's actually the '71 💯
Thank you. I think a few people have pointed it out to me. Thanks for watching.
I have this model but mines is blk on blk
Love that engine!!
Thanks for watching and please subscribe!
challengers were made in the 70's..not 60's.
Introduced in 1969 for the 1970 model year, you are correct! Thank you for watching.
mrabrasive51 that's fake news. They started producing them in 1969 as a 1970 model. 5 second Google search bruh
would you say 600 a month is worth it now in 2020
That's a hard question to answer, because it depends on how long you're financing the car for. If your leasing the car, I believe they have a deal right around $200 a month.
Can tell your not a mopar Guy no one talks about the 69
Bruh you can make that car fast as well lol
Of course, but bruh this one was a rental. I was just trying to share my experience driving it as is.
And uh. . .please leave the "and uhhhh, behind. Great vid.
Thanks, I'm working on it. That's a problem I have when not using a script and trying to do the whole thing in one take.
how many times can you say " this is the 2017 Dodge Challenger RT" during the first 5 minutes of the video...
But it worked, you remembered it! Thanks for watching.
Andy shut the hell up go fred
@@rtbub758 Thank you. At least he will never forget what the subject of the video is!!!
@@FreddySherman *Andy Cowan* drives a Prius
@@five_o_fever9381 Haha. Don't tell anyone, but I do too. You can't beat 55 mpg.
Fred......stick to luxury cars. Thank you.
Thanks for watching. These non-luxury car videos get a lot more views! I've started a separate car review channel and will keep this just for luxury stuff.
andd that is used at 25000 miles
Understood. Is it certified pre-owned? Is there a warranty? Those are important factors in your decision.
I’m surprised how slow this car is.
Do you say that from driving it or from watching the video?
I had no idea some cars have audio enhanced exhaust. If you buy a car like that then your own mother should slap you in the face
I agree. A huge number of cars have it, many brands use it, not just Dodge. I just had a Lexus RC 350 F SPORT and it uses it too.
I get them from Lexus not a dealership. I did that once and they got mad at me.
@@stevenbrown5210 The Active exhaust on the is not fake it is a pair of flow valve on each side of the dual exhaust sounds aftermarket in sport mode and pretty awsome even in eco mode. Any doubters that the 2019 RT exhaust is not the real deal have the dealer cold start one for you while you stand out behind the rear of the car.
@@robc8468 You are 100% correct. *Steven Brown* has his headquarters where his hindquarters are
