- Today we are taking a very in-depth look at the 2023 Dodge Charger Police cars. I thought it would be cool to see what kind of features and performance the various police packages offered over and above the regular civilian versions. Watch along as we go over everything possible, starting with the performance, features, which states use the Chargers, prices and specs, and a performance comparison with other cop cars!

Rumor has it that the state of Arkansas has ordered 11 of these just for Trooper Byrd.
Byrd gets a green light on any pursuit in the country
lol
He will probably need em.
If the ASP ever catch the "undefeated charger"... Byrd already has dibs on it. He's the only one that has proven he call handle that power
He may not have a Charger much longer. Several of the Troopers I work with and am friends with have said ASP is fixing to switch over completely to Tahoes.
The vehicle peaked with the 2020 AWD v8. Those things absolutely shredded all the way to 150.
Unfortunately police cars will never be the same again in the coming years.
Yeah get ready for electric cop cars 🤦🏻♂️
@@MarspeedCars electric police cars are gonna be scary though, Scary fast acceleration but there max top speed would probably just be 150MPH due to save battery
@@MarspeedCars Have you seen the Tesla cop cars? Crazy fast.
Yea, now all COP cars will be Homersexual and stupid
@@cabbagememes2852probably be lower than that that’s very fast for an ev
Dodge actually had a post facelift Hemi AWD available in Pursuit models. I believe it was available until 2018.
2015-2020, I think.
The HEMI AWD Charger Pursuits were offered from the 2014 Year Model to the 2021 Model year, the AWD V6 was first offered around 2019 or 2020 and as of 2022 models, all V6’s have AWD, and all Hemi’s have RWD
Indianapolis uses the 2020 awd with hemi. 21 and 22 are v6 with awd.
I have 17 and it's awd
GSP has been on it Since the 2013-2014 RT/Hemi AWD was released and they were sold ever since, because their chargers do not accelerate like a rwd charger they move like they have awd not all of them but some of them just move different its weird,they are lying if they say they didnt try out that idea🤔
I've seen dashcam videos of the Charger V8 easily topping 150 mph. I've also watched videos that would compared the Charger V6 AWD to the Explorer 3.3 HEV. The Charger V6 AWD has a better high speed passing time and can reach its top speed of 130 faster than the Explorer 3.3 HEV.
The Charger 5.7 will be the last true American police interceptor. A full-sized sedan powered by a V8 engine with RWD that is loud and fast and is able to keep up with almost any vehicle out there.
Im from Bridgeport and was a police explorer. They have had the charger since Dodge came out with the pursuit version. Getting to be up close and personal with those is what made me fall in love with mopar. Now I own a 71’ charger R/T, a JK Wrangler, and a Gladiator.
Thank you for including my city in the video. I never really realized why I had an obsession with Mopar until now. 😅
😂😂😂😂. They still using that first model years later.
@@chrisbolton3950 I know, surprising since they beat the hell out of those cars. Up until a few years ago there was a k-9 officer in a crown vic with old fashion strobe lights. 😂😂💀
The AWD 5.7 liter HEMI V8 model is the one to get when buying a used one. Dodge stopped producing them in 2020 and went to just the V6 being available in AWD. I’ve seen some nice low mileage Chargers that were Detective or Lieutenant cars and weren’t abused that people have purchased. But with the cancellation of the AWD HEMI option and the cancellation of the Charger overall the prices will likely go up.
I had a retired 76 Rhode Island State Police Plymouth Gran Fury (440 Interceptor with a Dana rear end) back in high school. I wish I still had that.
That’s cool. I’ve had 5 different 1972 Plymouth Fury’s, that were all former Ohio State Highway Patrol Cars. They each had the 440 with a 600cfm Holley carb & dual exhaust. Like you said I certainly wish I had one now to tinker with , they were a lot of fun.
@@tieroneactual2228 Awesome! I appreciate the comment. I have been a Mopar fan since I can remember.
Well, either Dodge changed a few things or they are lying about those numbers. I can say that watching Arkansas State Police chases, their V8 Chargers have no trouble sitting at 150 MPH, and their V6 Chargers struggle to get to 130. And I know some of their Tahoes have gone 135....Tricky tricky....
They have durango pursuit as well. They should have the AWD V8 Hemi that would be a monster.
Just bought a 2016 5.7 awd charger Pursuit……absolutely love it and I stand with having a awd hemi charger as an option damn shame they took it away. Just Imagine a 5.7 hemi awd with torqueflight………
Thank you again for making videos such as this one 🙏🏻 😊
Thanks for watching!!!
It's got a cop motor, a four hundred and forty cubic inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters, so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say? Is it the new Bluesmobile or what?
Fix the lighter.
California CHP uses the Charger. The San Ramon PD that is on your list uses them, but they look like factory cars with light bars. They even have factory aluminium rims.
Yeah you can order the street appearance package which has more of the police interior and then a regular looking exterior. Must be that. Thanks for the info!
The market desperately needs more police vehicles
But don't police vehicles comes with a lot of problems though? My dad used to own a 2004 Chevy Blazer that was a police car, we had to go to the mechanic shop so many damn times
@@ShawnFXbecause it was a police car… that means 5k idle hours and 150k miles of standing on the gas.
Lets talk about how these Chargers and Challengers still have the worst rear camera screen package unlike the Wagoner and Ram trucks. They need to upgrade this. I work for a Chrysler dealer as a tech and there is nothing worse than a brand new car with a 480p camera lol
Everyone is gonna ignore the fact that it can come with a 12 inch screen radio 🤯🤯
The North Carolina State Troopers use them as well.
I need those police brakes and the giant screen!!! 🤘🤘
You can definitely upgrade the brakes on pretty much any charger that doesn’t have brembos! The screen not so much haha
@@MarspeedCars BR9 brakes: is a bolt-on to front knuckles that have the 3-bolt hub mount found on some '13/'14 and all '15 and up. These have larger caliper bracket bolt holes. All cases, will need BR9-specific front hoses. Rear calipers and rotors are bolt-on to all years.
I think alot of people need to be signing Petitions to Mopar for Dodge/Stellantis to develop a new line of smaller displacement 32 V DOHC V8 engines, that would be lighter ,all aluminum with better efficiency , stronger, and more powerful !! But the new engines also could run on new alternative fuels !!!
They are so behind that they don’t even have direct injection and high compression ratios
TEXAS has Red Eye Challenger widebody on the road
The All-Wheel-Drive V8 in Pursuit form was available in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and I believe 2019 as well. Saying it wasn't since 2015 is not true.
Mexico actually has the charger hellcat widebody I believe (edit: I live here, and I have seen it, I just couldn't 100% tell if it was the widebody)
Dooley Co. Ga. uses R/T's. Wing, 20's and all.
These are the same guys that used to use Impala SS's.
I remember those Impala SS’s they had. They looked badass with the SS wheels & the low profile light bar. Them old boys probably had a rip roaring time on midnight shift with those things back then!
Here in British Columbia I have seen an F150 with a Coyote interceptor package
Marspeed Keep up the great work 😀😀🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪👍👍👍
I think you may have miss spoke regarding the AWD/5.7 option. Our PPV's are 2019 cars and are 5.7 Hemi AWD with the 5 speed transmission and "Stalk" shifter. I believe Dodge stopped making the 5.7 Hemi/ AWD option on the 2022 models. This would coincide with the move to the 8 Speed torqueflite only transmission option.
The best police Dodge is horrible compared to the civilian versions. lol
In Mass. in 2023, State Police Cars are Chevy Tahoe PPV.
I was under the impression that AWD was mandatory with the v8 for the last 4 or 5 years
It was from 2015-2021 (5.7 Hemi with AWD). Inexplicably, Dodge dropped it after that. And that’s pursuit only, last civilian Charger AWD V8 was second gen 2011-2014.
@@MarspeedCars that’s good I’ll have to get one (I didn’t want awd).The last cool cop car (ever apparently)
Didn't need 9 minutes. Just give us the basics: It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
get the lighter fixed
😊👍Awesome video.😊👍 I'm wondering, what would the 2024 dodge cop cars will look like?
I would think they would be selling the fleets whatever version they cook up next (so electric?) Ford has been selling fleets their Mustang Mach-E, although I’m not sure how many are being bought as they’re really expensive. Ford might just take over completely with the police interceptor too
@@MarspeedCars True. Dodge has neglected the Charger & Challenger rt (5.7 hemi), I mean they don't offer a widebody option. Not everyone can afford or want a scatpack & hellcat widebody. It would be cool if dodge had offer the rt [5.7 hemi] widebody Charger & Challenger.
Yeah you are right. I will say that now you can get the Widebody through direct connection for a few thousand USD I believe and put it on any 2015 and up Challengers, so at least there’s that
@@MarspeedCars😊 You're right.😊In your next generation Durango vid. We know that the dodge Durango is going back to be a body on frame full-size suv for 2024. We guarantee there's going to be a Durango L which is the long wheel based version like the jeep wagoneer and grand wagoneer.
There are many ‘23 Police Chargers here in Florida that are being sold by major dealerships brand new for ~$26k
Do you know which ones?
I am in the market for a heavy duty sedan!
Outfit ‘em w/ ‘the grappler’!!
did no one notice the first charger at 10s the work honor is spelled honour.....means regard with great respect, regard: meaning to consider or think of
7:43 you put Charger V6 twice, Im guessing the one at the bottom is supposed to be Durango V6
Oh damn always a mistake in there eh haha, yeah Durango V6 should be last there
Despite the endless criticism the new Charger is receiving, I’m sure it’ll make a great police car in America. It could also become a taxi, due to it now being America’s only full-size non-luxury sedan, specifically the most basic trim which I assume will lack too many bells and whistles.
Ford needs to bring back the Crown Vic. There is no more police sedans anymore. The last Taurus looks great as a police car.
There is a charger pursuit V8 5.7L AWD, my dad has a taxy company and we have 5 on duty, they were bough from a local police department here in Mass, and we have 3 at the body shop that came from Nebraska.
can't wait to see trooper Byrd get his hands on these
man, unless they just upgrade to the 6.4, they'll still have trouble with many eluders with decent power...
Yeah if you got 500+ horsepower you can easily outrun this 1 for 1 unless they team up on you. Can’t imagine that many people choose to run from the cops though 😅
@@MarspeedCars man, after viewing LHRN videos from Arkansas, it's safe to say that charger and challenger owners, especially, are eluding and evading moreso than ever, and these 5.7's stand no chance against a 392 with the right driver, and g37's give 5.7's a good go for their money...ecoboost's would be great if leo's actually modified and tuned them for better performance but that's overreach since cops themselves are tasked with actually citing regular citizens who do the same😁...r/t is basically dodge's only trim that never received an engine upgrade like the 3.5 to the 3.6 and the 6.1 srt8 to the 6.4 392...outdated performance to say the least but mopar guys will argue you down if you mention this...5.7 was quick during it's early days but now, they're basically on par with un-tuned turbo 4 bangers and v6 sedans..
We have the 6.4s out here in Memphis. And there are a few undercover hellcats. The hellcats were impounded.
@@jasonclark6701 the hellcats will 100% of the time be the result of felony impounds where we could assume that the driver was either sentenced to serve a lengthy prison sentence following right after trial with a bond too high to pay off in an evasion case depending on the severity of what actually went down, and until the case is settled, those hellcats are in the police's custody...now, with 6.4's, they're usually special builds, but will be so rare that they're comparable to pigs falling from the sky as rain....standard police pursuits from manufacture will be a 5.7 awd r/t hemi since im sure the 6.4's with the 8 speed would be much too strenuous in costs for taxpayers to fund..or in other words, an unreasonable expense...only way cops would stand a chance against new mustang gt's, camaro ss's, and alot of these turbo v6 kia stingers, and q50's utilizing turbo's and are lightning quick with a simple tune would be them reverting to the 6.4's and that's almost cutting the line these days since forced induction systems are being utilized for all standard vehicles now and all it takes is a simple tune for them to reach record breaking numbers thus leaving a 5.7 in the wind...i know a dude with a 1.5L cvt turbo civic with a simple tune and bolt ons running head to head with fbo g37's, and 370z's..🤣
great job, thanks
Oregon State police has a plethora of these chargers in both marked/unmarked packages
I had a 96 caprice police with the LT1 qnd a 4 speed auto. It was only 280hp but it shifted in 4th gear at 132mph. I never went faster but that car floated at that speed and was dead smooth. I wish i never sold it 😢
Great info!
Chargers are big with New Hampshire and New York State Police.
What happened to the 150mph top speed cars? (Arizona State police)
What they ALL have in common is really bad brakes lol:)
Chargers are History in 2024.
I'll start by saying the Ford interceptors, Taurus's and the Explorers are pretty much trash compared to other police vehicles but they are a lot cheaper as to why I think a lot of departments went with them. The top speed in the Fords are listed incorrectly, unless something has changed with the newer models of the past few years because they top out at 132mph not the advertised 148mph. Idk what the hell they're driving to say that. The weak point is the drive shaft as to why the lower speed. Cheaply made and not balanced so anything faster would destroy it. Also, the Crown Vic is still king of police vehicles despite a similar top speed that's listed as 128mph. I found that 132mph was the top speed in my Vic when It was still in service. I'm surprised dodge is discontinuing the charger because they really could have taken over the market for police vehicles.
Yeah in my mind it makes sense the Fords are popular as many of the fleets/agencies will simply want the lowest priced vehicles, end of discussion. Hmm interesting, this was listed at the 2023 Michigan Police Test combine. Maybe they took off a limiter or something there not sure. Thanks for the great info!
@@MarspeedCars I'm more familiar with earlier Ford SUV interceptors and that was the top speed, they just wouldn't push over the 132mph threshold, however that very well could have changed. It also could be like the crown vic's where they offered 2 different transmissions. I don't recall the gear ratios but it seemed like it was a city model and a highway model. They very well could have just made the newer years uniform and faster with higher quality drive shafts. The 2015 and 2016 we have top at 132mph. I'm not sure about the 2022s we have though. I will say that the 2015/16 models aren't very good. I don't know much about the challengers but Ford thought putting a plastic gas pedal was a good idea to put into a police vehicle. A few towns over they had a gas pedal break completely off. I'm no longer involved in acquiring new vehicles as to why I'm not familiar with them that much as far as accurate specs. They cost a bit more now but when Ford was trying to break into the market they sold the SUVs for around $23k because every department was holding on to their crown vic's longer. Once outfitted the total cost was around $33-35k. Now they cost in the mid to higher $30k range and the total cost is $45-50k depending how you outfit them. The low price for earlier models isn't a new tactic to grab the market to buy a different vehicle. Jeep tried to break into the emergency vehicle market in the 90's with the cherokee. They practically gave those away with the extremely low cost. Obviously it didn't work for them. I'm sure I'll hear about the accurate top speed of the newer models once I know someone that takes it for the full rip. I'm too old to try it. Lol. I'm sure the Arkansas State Police will eventually get into a pursuit with one and then we'll know what the top speed is. I'm actually really surprised they are starting to add the Fords to their fleet.
@@holycats8 there's a reason we call the Explorers, Ford Exploders where I work. We drive down the Interstate and have trim pieces flying off with the exception fo the drivers side A pillar since its held on by the spotlight. I just went to pick up my new unit today though. Got a 2023 Dodge Charger with the 5.7 RWD. Lets see how she runs once they upfit them.
@@Hinru13 Sounds like you're getting a real patrol vehicle and I hope it serves you well. Not many PDs in my area use the dodges so I don't know much about them. I heard rumblings that they weren't reliable but I think those were just the old guys bitching because they wanted their vic's back. The weak point in Jeep/Chrysler and dodge always seemed to be the transmissions but it can't be worse than the exploders. There was a small town PD near me that replaced the transmission 3 times in one year on the same exploder and I'm not surprised you guys were shedding parts at speed with the Fords. Small town PD that drives them like a regular car and they stopped pursuits 10+ years ago so there's no reason for a transmission to go bad on the Fords, especially with low miles. I'll also say the vic was better than what Ford has now in one very important aspect, the vic was very predictable on how it would drive and handle, the exploder, not so much.
This is just a funny anecdotal story. I was in my vic and I had an exploder behind me when we got a hot call. Once we pulled out of the parking lot I pulled away from the exploder and he never really caught up until I missed the turn for the call. I could of kept going and got the 2nd entrance (the road is a horseshoe with a couple more horseshoes added onto it). I slammed on the brakes and lit up the tires when I reversed, the dashcam was pretty damn funny to watch that. Lol
I'm not saying my vic outperformed the exploder because it was one of our younger guys driving. He did have a very experienced guy riding with him who called out that I was going to reverse once he saw me slam on the brakes. Lol
I'm sure you'll be happy with the new dodge over the Ford. It was funny seeing you calling the Ford the exploder because that's what we called them 25+ years ago so I'm glad the nickname stuck. Lol
Good luck with her and stay safe out there. If you remember, come back to this comment and let me know how it works out. I could look at spec sheets all day but it's the officer behind the wheel that will be able to tell you how the car really is vs. a spec.
@@holycats8 thank you sir. I'll try to do that. If I forget you can tag me in this thread some time later and remind me. I love hearing old War stories from salty vets. I've got 6 years on the job so far, still feel clueless sometimes. Like I'll never have enough time to learn and know everything.
I wonder what the police agencies will primarily use, now that the Charger is going away? Guess it'll be Explorers and F-150 units. The Mach-E seems like an expensive option for police departments.
Yeah looks like Ford will just takeover with the Explorers. Dodge is pretty much giving this one away 😂 they also haven’t really released a police ram other than the Special Service version which I don’t quite understand
@@MarspeedCars my agency just ordered 150+ new explorers if that answers y’alls question. With more ordered for next year. With the exception of Camry’s for detectives Explorers will comprise most of the fleet.
Tons of agencies use Tahoes as well.
@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 Oh yeah, forgot about the Tahoes. Those unmarked ones are more stealth than one realizes. Saw a grey one on I-95, didn't give it a second thought, until I saw it light up someone speeding in the left lane.
I believe Indiana State Police are looking at the Durango
Bit light on 500hp should have been the minimum
Maybe special units will utilize but the Ford Explorer Interceptor wins the day as departments move away from sedans to SUV’s.
Wonder what Agencies are going to go with since the Hemi's are going out of service? There are no EV's on the market that will last 10-12 hour shifts or be able to pursue high horsepower vehicles.
Great video
I had v6 pursuit. V8 is the way to go.
Bringing back the police cars 👍 not Tahoe's next they need to make a new Crown Victoria for police and civilians
I've Seen lots of AWD V8 in 2015-18 models.
I thought AWD was avalable with Hemis.
Did you say the last year2014 the sold the awd with v8. I have a 2016 awd v8 5.7
You must have a police car version. The last year for civilian AWD V8 was 2014 yes
I have a 2019 v8 AWD pursuit though 😅
I don't understand why Dodge is getting rid of the gas powered Charger's and Challenger's. Sure, they are looking to go to EV's but so far, Ford lost $3 billion on EV's and with Dodge losing these sales, how long until they turn a profit? Why not continue with the gas powered cars but also offer EV versions like Ford did with the Mustang badge?
That damn Penastar V6 lives again 😂
No awd hemi for ‘23?
I have a 2019 awd hemi charger
What is a high speed engine controller?
2:45 That's incorrect sir. Civilian models no longer have V8 AWD due to poor sales. AWD pursuit v8's are very much so on the final gens, don't believe me come look at an Indiana state police car.
What's the future for Dodge in this market going forward?
Depends on what they choose to release next, if they go pure EV, maybe something with a Hurricane engine. Durango might be around a couple more years too
Ask that question to stellantis
Hello from kansas but anyway I will mis Kansas Highway patrol dodge charger passing my school and the durango when its time.
My township have chargers west hempfield
I see Arkansas in Mustangs next year
MUY GENIAL 👌👌👌 EXCELENTE... CADA MODELO DE DODGE GUARDE SI IDENTIFICACIÓN Y PERSONALIDAD PROPIA EN STANLLANTIS & FCA...
Do one on the Durango police version
Oh no we go 2023 Police cars Are new In US put now we can see Police cars are broken down This year next year More new Police vehicles
Actually the Dodge Charger Pursuit employs an 8 speed automatic, not a 5 speed automatic
Yeah I said that in the video, from 2021 they switched from the 5-speed over to the 8-speed (despite the civilian versions getting it many years prior)
This explains why no Hemi AWD anymore. Hemi plus AWD only works with the 5-speed as the Hemi, AWD and the 8-speed as a complete powertrain won't fit into this chassis.
Dont forget a lot of ex police cars have been in numerous minor crashes
I have a Ford Police Interceptor ecoboost AWD 3.5 400hp and 550trq it’s very nice I do love the Charger pursuits 18 was the best year 5.7 AWD I have drag raced against these cars a few times and I max speed is 150 and 0-60 5.2 I WON both 1/4 and 1/2 mile
Thanks 👍
Was there ever a rwd v6? And for what years
Houston HP get theirs free from drug dealers 😂
@ 6:10 you forgot Hamilton ON
Georgia State Patrol uses these Chargers as well.
They make 2016 awd v8
I did not see the Dodge Challenger on this list I have seen Dodge Challenger police units
There have never been Challenger police cars that’s why haha, coupes aren’t practical so no need for them. Magnum, Durango, and Charger
Pity is doesn't show a synchronised warning light system.
It's a mess as shown. Different flash rates, different phasing, bi-lateral unsymmetry: almost impossible for a motorist to quickly and accurately identify the vehicle as a unit, and assess its disposition and relative motion.
Far better is the ambulance unit at the start of: ua-cam.com/video/9o3UEmvZcng/v-deo.html This shows what should be the national standard for all emergency and service vehicles: a synchronized phase array of bi-laterally symmetrical signals = a high impact, unitary identification of the emergency vehicle. It allows instant driver recognition, short reaction times and facilitates good decision making. It makes complex scenes, and EVs in complex road environments quickly and easily interpreted by on-coming drivers.
hope to see these in gta 6.
Are you sure about the V8 Charger not having AWD? Other channels have shown 2019 V8 AWD Chargers, but perhaps I’m wrong?
100% last civilian V8 Charger was 2014 Charger R/T. There have been Police AWDs until around 2021 though so people can get their hands on those.
Best selling sense they ben the only one sense 2019
Their top speeds are wrong. IRL the Hemi PP Charger exceeds 150
note to self make sure to have a car that will do better then 150mph in order to out run the cops
The OSHP is selling 2015 to at least 2020 Dodge Charger Police Interceptors with the 5.7 and AWD right now . . . I'm not sure what you mean about AWD not being offered with the V8
no sir..Tourque is up to 410........look it up
That is for the Ram 1500 and Challenger manuals (Challenger auto rated for 400 in 2023). Chargers rated for less including pursuit
Ayeee Kentucky
They canned the cheapy hubcaps
I’ll stick with my V8 Mustang
Spent too much time talking about the features. Why don't you just say it's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas?
Huge mistake taking away the AWD hemi
It’s up to Chevy now
That’s junk! It spends more time in the shop than the actual service. I’m not a fan of Tahoe but it’s a better choice.
Dodge needs wigwags like ford does. The ones on the charger don’t do anything other than look cool.
the performance stats at the end are boring as we cannot buy one
