  • Let’s talk about Dodge for a minute. Their 5 vehicle lineup’s newest model is the Charger, last redesigned in…wait for it…2011! Now, that’s an insane amount of time to go between complete redesigns but Dodge could give a lesson to the rest of the industry as to how to pull off this magic trick with incredible results. Case in point the Durango; itself last redesigned for the 2011 model year yet amazingly fresh.
    MSRP as-tested: $76,700

    Let's talk about Dodge Dirty Little Secret with these Durango's these race track rear tail lights that are prone to burnout when moisture or water builds up inside the lens! I started seeing other Durango's with the lower portion of the middle racetrack LEDs burnt out and I thought to myself wow that's ugly at night time! And not long after mine's did the same and I was told once you're out of warranty it's on you and they told me $1,100 to replace that middle section because the backup camera is made into it! You go on the Durango forums and you see lots of customers complaining but so far FCA says sorry 🤬

    The technology, drive train, Front and rear design as well as interior materials and the ex Mercedes-Benz engineers Jeep and dodge recruited in 2011 put quite a bit into the 2015 redesign even though it looks similar to the 2011 it’s completely different

    I don’t think you had all your ducks in a row on this video. Charger’s last redesign was 2015 with more recent “facelifts”. And as far as the Durango the last redesign was 2014. So, about every 5-6 years.

    I wish FCA would’ve used the 8 speed in their products rather than that terrible 9 speed I had driven a 2019 Jeep Cherokee Overland and it felt sluggish it doesn’t matter which engine you choose the 9 speed is very bad my grandmothers 2016 T&C limited can beat that thing

    Yes but no. The last charger redesign was 2015. It included some new engines, a new transmission, new front and rear fascia and new interior. I get what you're saying but when you consider that it's not nearly as out of the ordinary as pretending it hasn't been touched since 2011. Also the challenger is "newer" than the charger in it's return and was also dramatically updated in 2015. Ita a good point though, Dodge knows what their customers want so they give a ton of options

      VanquishedAgain are you sure because the cruiser comes loaded. Basically no options. On the other hand the Dodge has a lower base and the dealer might be a little more flexible. I think their close enough that price won’t really drive the decision; like you said it’s what you want and they both make a strong but very different case.

      Even with stock tires it handles way better then you would expect. I say its better than my friends 2007 RT. I drive my SRT Challenger with snow tires when the weather gets below 40 but the SRT Durango is for when snow starts to come down. I live in the PNW so snow is a once in a few years thing here in the low lands. Up in the mountains however its SRT Durango all the way.
