- Is the difference in a 2019 Challenger R/T so much better from previous models that it is worth the change? Find out from a long time Challenger R/T owner if you should pull the trigger. #challenger #mopar
I bought a 2019 rt back in April and I absolutely love it! I get compliments all the time about it from random people. 375 HP is more than enough to have a lot of fun, and the sound is addictive.
You definitely cannot beat the sound. Thanks for watching! Check out our 392 video as well. Don't forget to subscribe.
SDolemite92 same here bro, I just purchased mines in August and it’s amazing ua-cam.com/video/mqwsnm0MMYQ/v-deo.html
My son owns a 2017
R/T. I love it and it moves great. Because of him im buying a scat pack in 2 more years. I love that damn thing
SDolemite92 i have a 2019 rt almost fully loaded selling it for 37k
SDolemite92 I’m getting one tomorrow had a 2015 camaro for a year almost when I got into that challenger omgggg shid was so addictive I can’t wait hopefully everything goes thru
Your review helped me in my decision.
I just bought 2 weeks a 2019 Challenger RT manual transmission. I absolutely love it!!! Thank You
Thank you for watching! So glad we could help you out!! Be sure to like and Subscribe!!
Out of nearly fifty vehicles in my driving career, not one had a V8. So I got a new one of these...it's a blast.
I also rented this for a week because a mistake the rental company made. Best mistake ever.
Gotta love mistakes
U lucky for that
very similar happened to me with my first RT experience. signed up for a nissan sentra with hertz. I get there they give me the keys to a 2019 charger RT blk/blk top package. at first I was annoyed thinking the gas would be much worse and the dodge wasn't on my radar at all. til I drove that car for about 6 weeks. the sound is best I ever heard on a car and the 5.7 is perfect power. a brilliant car and the challenger looks even better
Noway i could have an rt for 8 years with 45k miles. I love to drive my cars.
I have a 2016 with 62K miles 😭😭
Bought mine in plum crazy with a few upgrades, love it
I got the '19 rt in granite. Absolutely love it. Put the pedal commander in it and the exhaust even improved. Only thing I hate about it...I am a truck driver and it just sits for 2 months at a time while I am on the road. Thanks for the video!
At least you have something to look forward to when your done trucking! Thanks for watching.
Don't feel bad I bought mine in jan 2020 and only have 700 miles on it. When I feel the need to go fast I walk into my garage and just look at my challenger and get my fix and no ticket's LOL
Bought this exact car on Black Friday and I'm loving it! 💯💪
Me and the wife have a 2020 challenger R//T and absolutely love it thanks for the review
Glad you liked it! Thanks for taking the time to leave us a nice comment! Have a great rest of your day
Just got a 19RT blacktop few months back and it is so dope can't stay out of it you can almost feel and imagine the spirit of a scatpack or hellcat just from driving a RT...
You definitely can.. mainly with that sound🤤🤤 hope you enjoyed the video😃 thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
Thank you for your advice !
Thank you for watching. Subscribe and be on the look out for should you upgrade from a R/T to a 392!
Got a 2020 RT blacktop....took it from Texas to the mountains in New Mexico....a joy to drive
Thats awesome!
I have my 2019 RT challenger for 2 months already, and im extremely happy with it, from a Infiniti to my challenger. Love it. #Hemipower

Leaving a Mustang GT in the dust today makes me disagree with you about the RT not being fast... Its an awesome muscle car, and will beat a lot of cars out there in it's class...
👍
I don’t think this car is as slow as some people think, With the addition of a quality cold air intake, a decent set of tires and just the stock exhaust system, you can make a nice improvement in performance for a lot less money than buying a much more expensive 392 or Hellcat. A much better daily driver and 375 HP is plenty to get you in trouble with the po po !
A 2018+ 10 speed automatic GT would put bus lengths on an RT. It beats scar packs
@@bigsmoke1757 also you'll pay $200 more a month on insurance and once you rack up 2-3 super speeder tickets and drive it around 5 mph under the limit for the next ten years all that power will mean nothing.
@@alkaline8886 you only pay if you get caught. Been driving mustang gts for 20+years, with no speeding tickets but plenty of races under my belt
I personally love the car with yellow protectors I think it makes the car look so much nicer .. also you stated the fog lights were led even tho there yellow ?? I always assumed leds were blue ! Thanks for the info bro
*see's challenger hood*
camera guy: *heavy breathing*
Just upgraded to a 19 RT-No Regrets! It’s awesome!!! Cool video.. 👍🏻👍🏻
I bet you will love it!! Thanks for watching! Subscribe!
Great job guys....I think I understand what you were getting at. If you already have a 5.7, once the new wears off of this one, all you can think about is the money you've spent. Glad you managed to keep it real and professional on the video, just subscribed.
We are glad we could help, have a great day and thanks for the comment! We hope to help you again in the future!
Totally agree. If your older Challenger is in good condition and well maintained, just spend a little money on nicing it up a bit (tasteful mods, wheels, etc.) No need to really upgrade to a whole new Challenger unless your mileage is too high. Even then I might say swap the transmission and keep rollin.
Thank you for the advice!!
Thank you for watching. Subscribe and be on the look out for should you upgrade from a R/T to a 392!
@@PerformanceOnWheels will do!!
I bought the '19 R/T Challenger 5.7 and absolutely love it. One comment on the steering wheel that no one ever mentions is the little nubs on the backside at the 4 corners that fits my hands perfectly. As far as the paddle shifters go, I run in sport mode with the trans in the Auto/Stick mode and shift directly with the floor shifter and rarely ever use the paddles. #lovemymopar.
They are awesome cars for sure! Gald you love it and took the time to comment! Donr forget to like and subscribe! Have a great night
I bought a 2018 Challenger RTwith 13k miles on it on September 24, for 22k.. I must say it was a much needed upgrade from my last daily driver (camry).. I don't plans on doing NYC more than an oil catch can, tint, sway bars, and Coilovers. Spectacular vehicle!! I'd buy another in a heart beat. Definitely subscribing!!
Sounds like you will absolutely love it!!!! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment! We look forward to seeing you down in the comments in the future
I recently pulled myself out the exact same R/T ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT
It's a beast💪💪💪💪
Just found this vid, great job dude. I’ve got a 2016 R/T plus and still love it. For some reason I like having the 5.7, I’ve done some motor upgrades and it’s no slouch. I do however love the newer Challenger R/T hoods though very nice cosmetic change. Enjoy my friend.
Thanks! You do internal work on your motor?
Actually no. Nothing crazy added the stage one kit from Mopar, I did use different exhaust but with the PCM upgrade I could definitely feel a difference. I haven’t ran it at the track but my 0-60 went down.
@@user-kf6fl5if4k that's awesome! We had a exhaust, intake and tune on ours and it kept up with the SRT just fine! Still cheeper too
Just bought me a new 2019 RT love it that sound of that engine...
It sounds like eagles and firearms
The exhaust note is amazing, I love the active exhaust...
How long does the exhaust tinging last? Im little over a 1000 miles and it tings kinda loud when it's cooling down
Just got a 2019 rt in granite two days ago ! Love it !
American 💪💪💪
Question about the paddle shifters. Why would you be shifting during a turn. It was meant for straight line shifting. It you do wish to shift while turning can’t see why you can use the shifter it’s a ratchet shifter anyway... id you watch road racing. You don’t shift while your in a turn you find gear you want before the turn and let it carry you out then shift
This is a excellent debate! Straight line driving it obviously would not matter. You get into a tight turn with varying conditions, the last thing you want to do is start guessing which direction the wheel is turned. There is a reason all race cars as well as higher end cars have them on the column and not the wheel. If a car is made to take turns, is a higher end car you will find a preference to the column every-time. You want to know where that paddle is and not have to guess. Love your comment! love that you have watched! Please subscribe! I do disagree as well, there are certain tracks and certain situations that your most efficient lap times will require in corner/mid turn shifting.
It is not minor upgrades lol almost all of the interior was upgraded big time, the rear end lamps and stuff alone is a great reason to upgrade, the hood, the front lamps and splitter upgrade I mean the 8.4 inch u connect is another great upgrade and the transmission hands down is a great update. Def upgrade to at least a 15 ,17 is even better.
Since 2015, that grill is a reminder of the '71 model. Between 2008 an 2014, it was the '70 one... Same goes for the tail lights.
Absolutely! In the newer era Challengers are you a fan of the '15+ or do you prefer '08-'14?
@@PerformanceOnWheels At first, since I'm a BIG "Vanishing Point" movie fan (the original) I liked the '08-'14 better since Kowalski drove a '70. I then slowly got used to those tail lights and now prefer the overall look of the '15+. Not to mention the revised interior which better matches the exterior with its retro yet modern style.
I just hope they'll never go with a '72+ adaptation which, IMO, were getting uglier and uglier (tail lights oooookaaaay but those facias!). But again, maybe they would be able to do some magic...
@@gagnepi67 Don't forget about the often forgotten '78-'84 :) LOL.
@@PerformanceOnWheels Forgettable! 😉
lol I like u guys no fake bullshit real review subscribed!
I have a 19 rt black top,only thing I hate is the inside door knob placement,I always reach up for it also the middle gear shifter it seem to not lock in place I accidentally bumped it and it moved luckily I wasn't driving at the time.
Do you mean the door handle? But yes I do agree about the shift nob. You can move with without your foot on the brake.
Got a 2016 Rt last week love it !
As you always will!! Enjoy it! What color did you get?
Performance On Wheels there is only two colors I buy for my cars red and black and since my 350z was red I had to go with a black one this time I love it !
I’m thinking of getting either an 11-14 challenger R/T or 11-14 mustang 5.0. What are your thoughts? Which will be more reliable too? P.S. I will prolly get a mustang 3.7 and use as a daily until I trade that for either v8. And to add I am a little concerned with the size of the challenger as I am coming from smaller cars, including a 2006 mustang 4.0
Sweet!
Debating picking one up this weekend prices are fantastic right now. Thanks for the video
💪😎💪
You won't regret it. Had mine for 2 years and I still get excited to drive my car every single day. Probably the best car you can get for the price range.
I picked it up last week. I already put 600 miles on it. So fun to drive
@@jonathanficco8384 Congrats! Enjoy the ride bro!
Terry P thank you
Just bought my 2019 rt black top today, fell in love with just about everything . I got it with only 25k mikes
Well I know it's been 3 yrs with your video. But I finally settled with the 5.7 RT black edition 6speed tremec manual. I cut the mid muffler and makes the popping sounds more and yes crazy louder when you step on it. I think is fast enough for an SS driver to get crazy to try to pass you.
Awesome! Congrats. This was our very first video! Had no idea what we were doing. Just killing time prior to a flight! Appreciate you watching it and commenting.
The yellow splitter protectors look cool.
That’s my opinion, 😊, and it matters !
earned a sub. +like! Love it! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed!
@@PerformanceOnWheels I sure did Sir! 🙂 Thanks again!
I get what you mean about the novelty wearing off. I wanted one but didn't want the four year note and massive down payment. Thinking I might be bored with it after a while so I leased one for two years... Six months later I like it but I'm glad I never bought one to own long term..
Nothing novelty about it if muscle cars are your thing. Ive had my 2009 srt8 challenger for almost 3 years now and it still puts the biggest smile on my face after a red light.
I have a 2021 Pepsi blue color . Only complaint I have - wish my seats were leather over cloth .
I’m in the market for this exact one but I’m red I have a 730 credit score but I would be a first time buyer, do you think I should wait to money down? Nice video though man!!
Crazyboytata thank you for the comment and watching. Please subscribe and check out or other videos. I could give you my opinion from both shoulders.... Ultimately don't put yourself in a financial bind regardless. For example if you plan on having a payment regardless and you think you can afford $100 a month then shoot for $50 a month. Cars are no fun if you can't make memories in them! Buy a used one. Heck find a steal of a deal on a used one, get your loan through a credit union going into it, enjoy it care for it and keep working towards your dream ride!
Don't go into a dealership and tell them you want a $100 dollar a month payment. They love when people do this as they will get you you payment at a term that is WAY to long and an interest rate that is WAY to high!!
Performance On Wheels appreciate the reply man!! I haven’t went into the dealership yet, but I’ve talked to someone over the phone and it has 16,000 miles on it for 28,900 and with nothing down it would be 550 a month plus insurance, see I can afford it but man I’m not trying to go that deep especially since I’m only 20 but man this is my dream car
@@Cruzer213 I get that! It will come for sure. The financial hardship is not worth it IMO! To much stress. You have to make sure you can enjoy life still. There are so many 1 owner cars out there that were garage queens for years. Especially challengers. Think about a '13, '14, '15. You could beat the price you mentioned by a lot with similar miles. You will love it still.
Steven Turner haha I feel you!!! Thank you for the comment and advice!!
To be as heavy as it is this is pretty fast , its doing what it's built to do
👍💪🤘
I have this vehicle and I’m in love!!❤️
What color??
Performance On Wheels the same one in the video all Black, Blacktop package. And yes I left the yellow lip protectors on🤦🏾♂️ lol I just upgraded from the 2018 SXT plus to the 2019 RT Plus in August

GREG THE ANiMAL is it fast?
Thomas Zukaras Does DoDo Stank?!! Oh Yeeeeeeah!!! It’s a beast
So this car or the RT Scat Pack? And I will be driving year round in Ohio Winters.
Everyone will have an option about this obviously. Maybe watch our other video about the scat pack shaker compared to a R/T for additional insight. Get some winter tires for sure!!
My sister had a 2015 black Challenger R/T w/ auto. Her & her husband was in Hillsboro Ohio & shifter lever fault came on. If they would have stopped they would have been stranded. Fortunately they made it to the Dodge dealership in Xenia. They couldn't move the car from the check in lane & had to fix it in the same spot they left it in. Did they fix this problem? I've read where it is an issue.
I cant say I've ever actually herd of this... I'm a big Challenger guy and even worked at a Dodge dealer but I cant say I herd this come up ever. I cant give you a good answer on your question, but thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!! Please subscribe and we look forward to seeing you in the comments in the future!! Sorry about not having a good awnser to your question!!
@@PerformanceOnWheels I will subscribe. I love the look of the Challenger. I feel Dodge is the only one that stayed true to the original. I have always loved the Challenger & I have the original Vanishing Point movie. Saw it at the drive in, been in love with the Challenger ever since.
@@wedontjudge7166 Preach🙌🙌🙌
@@PerformanceOnWheels Hey..Im thinking about buying a rt or scat pack..What advice would you give me about reliability on this car??.My first choice is an 18-20 camero ss, but I heard that dodge has been improving with the maintenance dept.
The challengers are very reliable. Ask the question I'm a forum or browse the challenger forums look for repeated topics.
I got a 2019 5.7 R/T shaker. I was totally surprised when I looked at it. Wow. Only one in the Elk Valley and Still can't believe its here at my home, jet black of course. Has a little more punch than the 5.7 hemi without the shaker option. Nice to have the air cooler without buying one. You will save money on fuel and the insurance. 5.7 is consider a sports car and the 396 and up are not. This car I have is great so. Go and get one and in joy your summer. M-KAY.
As cool as the shaker is, it does not add more hp or tq than the non-shaker hood/air intake setup. It's just an alternate air intake setup that looks more badass.
@@twiceonsundays if its connected into air intake, it has to have more hp.
@@minorsnow5306 All due respect, I know these cars. The shaker does not add hp.
The shaker felt like more punch to me too. He didn't necessarily say more horsepower
I have a 2019 rt mid deleted and I love my car
Hard not to. Right?
Does your exhaust still make tinging sounds after it's off? How long till that should go away
Lol he said 45000 miles I got 197654 miles on my impala. When I get my challenger r/t imma drive that bitch till the wheels fall off
I'm sure you will
I see people leaving the covers on the lip, srts. Im like the lip is $120 or so just have a replacement.
Preach it!
I have a 2019 just bought it in Jan. removed the mid-mufflers now it sounds like a hellcat
Yeahhh baby 💪💪💪
It actually sounds a little better than a stock Hellcat when straight piped. I did my R/T about a year after I got it. I get head turns and compliments from 392's all the time.
Is it better to keep the yellow plastic on the lip or remove it
Remove it!!!
Look, I get that the yellow contrast to the black looks badass, but FFS, why don't people realize that they are bumper covers meant for transport on a truck (and that if you leave them on, it's the same as taking a bunch of rocks and just scratching and denting your bumper on purpose)???
Just get them wrapped and save your finish!
Preach 🙌🙌🙌
So your saying that leaving the bumper protectors on causes more damage than removing them?
Mike M your trapping fine particles of road debris in them and over time it'll just start trashing the paint
@@Treizez34 gotcha, but I thought the bumper lip was unpainted and just black plastic
Mike M this is true (forgot it was unpainted), but I'm a stickler for the details and don't like imperfections if I can avoid them
Same Exact Car $25,000 , love it man
Thats awesome !!!
If I have never owned a V8, do you think this will make a good first V8 for me? "Fastest" car Ive driven is 06 eclipse GT lol. My current car a 04 Camry. Note: I really don't care for the mustangs or Camaros.
Absolutely!! Do it. You won't regret it. Reliable and a smile maker.
@Steven Turner For sure!
Great job dodge challenger . Im gonna get an RT challenger 2021 for myself very soon
You will love it!
@@PerformanceOnWheels thank you . Im excited bcoz after 5 days i will get my challenger RT🙂👍 i was confused of which colour to choose . The colour of challenger in this video is very nice on it . But i chosen white at the end bcoz there was no other colour available except silver here at dodge agent.
I just can’t have a muscle car with auto trans, standard trans is sport mode for me. But to each his own.
I have a 2019 RT Black top edition and it is fast as hell.....Wow...smh
Want to race our F-Type?
F-type what? Unless it’s the better model? R/T will leave most Lexus! 🤷🏽♂️😂😂❤️
I have a lot of fun knowing I could beat 90-95 % of the cars on the road. Sure, I get a Camaro or Mustang from time to time. But there's some respect from owners of these type of vehicles. I get compliments all the time with it. People tend to get outta the way with it. Can't go wrong with a Challenger/ Charger.
That shid is nasty definitely will pick this over a charger rt
Go Get IT!!! Check out our SRT/392 Challenger video as well. Thanks for watching. Like and Subscribe!

MOPAR OR NO CAR!!
What’s the range in a full tank?
I do not have thr correct answer for that
I got 490 miles on my last road trip. Almost all highway and still had well over a gallon left. Just over 30 mpg (2018 R/T btw)
... Like SRT hood, not Hellcat hood😎 and when u want to buy an R/T, get the PLUS version, is BETTER and has more options😎
Wtf type of sound y’all be makin behind the camera 😂
Just rubbing our hands all over the mic for you❤

Huh huh huh
Chill out farther Vader 😂

Dude, you look so cute in shorts.
🤨
@@PerformanceOnWheels LMFAOOO
R/T not fast? Seriously? Since when is 0-60 in UNDER 5.5 seconds not fast? Yes the Mustang's & Camaro's are faster. But those two are no longer muscle cars either. For someone who's owned a 2012 Challenger, you lost credibility from saying it isn't fast. Step up to a 6.4 you pay gas guzzler tax and more trips to the pump. You get a Mustang or Camaro and you can't take 3 friends with you.
My opinion on "fast" is a sub four second 0-60 time. There are TONS of cars that fall into that category. "Quick" cars in my book are 4-6 second cars. Saying it is not fast is not a jab at the car. But there are obviously faster cars. If you call the Challenger fast, what do you call all the cars that are much faster? Thanks for the conversation 👍
Its not fast at all, especially for 2020. Check the competition. You can get a 4 door honda accord or toyota camry with the same performance. I suggest getting the R/T for looking good and sounding good, but dont get it for the performance. 375 crankhorspower (probably 300 whp) in a 4000 lb vehicle isnt going to put you in your seat. Coming from a hellcat owner, id say at least get the scat if youre looking to go fast.
@@gr8cylindergr8t82 What competition? The Challenger is the LAST true muscle car in production. The Mustang and Camaro have evolved into sports cars. They're lighter, more nimble, and are more track minded than the Challenger. The Challenger is a big, heavy, brute. It can handle but not like the others. It's a fast car. Anything that can hit 0-60 in 5.5 or less is fast. People have done it in under 5.0 seconds in their R/T's. Videos on UA-cam can prove it. It's weight fools you as it doesn't push you into your seat, but she can go. Just because some other cars, and even the SRT are faster, does NOT discount the R/T being fast. Camry? 5.8 seconds. Slower. Accord? You're comparing apples to oranges here. Accord weighs a lot less. Fast? Sure. But not the same experience as it's still a 4-door vanilla sedan.
@@Sportimus i drove the RT its slow as fuck lol. And for the competition im talking about hondas and toyotas that are 4 doors keeping up with the RT. Youre delusional if you think a stock RT in 2020 is fast. This isnt 2005 anymore where 300 wheel horsepower is a lot weighing 4000 lbs. Dont even compare it to the mustang V8 and Camaro, the V6 would give it a run for its money. Not hating on the car just dont buy it thinking its fast. Youre gonna get smoked by a camry or even a v6 with some bolt -ons. And I know what a muscle car is I have a hellcat. Im not saying its not one what im saying is its not fast lol.
@@Sportimus i guess "fast" i subjective. Just like the "looks" of the cars. But owning all sorts of cars like the 1993 twin turbo rx7 to hondas and a few new muscle cars and now having a hellcat, I feel that the RT isnt a fast car.
This just dodge way of moving pass 2019. 2020 the real icebreaker
blackspiret 1 uhhh 2020 stayed the same for the 5.7
Love these. Best front end of any car, imho. And the V8 sounds so good. No way the auto is better than that Tremec! Fwiw, 45,000 miles in 8 years is not a lot.
It had to be stored 6 months of all 8 of those years
Yes please take the shipping bananas off!
I'm just going to put this out there, you have one camera man breathing too hard and you have the other camera man smacking hard as hell on gum. Lol it's hard to concentrate on the video when you have these types of distractions lol
All true. First video we ever made. Made it on a whim, with a cell phone. We since have found this to be a great way for some father son bonding.

You barely drove the 2012. I put 14,000 miles on my Accord in 2 months
Barely
How do you ass holes put that many miles on a car
One other thing never never ever mount the front plate on a muscle car looks as dumb as those yellow guard's
I wish I could but would like not to get a ticket
@@FALLEN9336 Well that's easy if you get a ticket get your mount put some two sided tape on it just before you get it signed off put it on then when you get home take it back off
Put a tinted cover over the front plate. Best of both worlds
Obviously no expert. Probably doesn't what the bore or stroke of the engine. By the by I have a 2012 challenger rt and its 0-60 is 4.8 so you also don't know how to handle that car. Bought a toy not a car to drive.
Put in my place fo sure.
"Probably doesn't what the bore or stroke of the engine" is my personal favorite part Dad
