    I just purchased a 2023 RT, and it has everything the citadel does. Mines got the the Sunroof, the 4 wheel drive low, the sports mode, she’s a clean ass car, and I love it personally

    I have the 2020 citadel fully loaded with all the options and the Hemi. Back in early 2022 when cars were hard to get I bought it with 5,468 miles on it and bought it for the same amount my brothers brand new 2022 Durango SXT with a V6 AND LESS than 100 miles (brand new). We bought them 2 weeks apart and I’m still smiling over getting it. Both of us have to pull trailers for our work. My brother want to conserve gas mileage and I wanted a HEMI 😈. My wife and I went on a vacation recently to the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge Tennessee area and stayed at an airbnb during January that sat by itself on top of a mountain……. Scared to death driving on such an incline on a one way road and turns that are more like a V all at crazy vertical straight up. It did say that they HIGHLY RECOMENDED A 4x4 to climb their mountain 🧗. I’m truly glad and thankful for that Hemi power at that moment…..moments since we ran around and left the airbnb a lot. You font know you need more power until you do!

The updates over the years did great job, I am very very happy I bought one! We see what happens in the future if they replace it or not, Cheers!

    I should have done a review on my Dodge GT Plus 2020 before I traded it in for a Dodge Durango Citadel 2023. I watched so many videos. Not very many have a loaded Citadel V8. So just off this video I went with the Citadel V8 instead of the RT. I was close to getting the RT. They had an Orange edition RT for like 47. I bought my Citadel with 6500 miles for 49300. Probably over paid a bit but it was super hard to find. I found it 120 miles away in a small town. Ive only had it for 8 days. I haven't got to use all the features. I do have the Kardon 19 speaker system. Its nice compared to most stock systems. But its not up to par for my taste. The first place I went to after I got it was to the stereo place. Ill be replacing the speakers. But It definitely noticeably faster than my V6 durango. Even if its not the SRT I still can feel the power. I also could have got a 2023 orange edition for 48k. I was going to drive to take a look at a SRT used but I read you shouldn't drive them daily. Ill be putting nothing but premium in my car since they recommend it. I will say the 10 inch screen is beautiful. I love how it has android auto connects right away. And my seats arent red. But they are grew two toned. Citadels with V8 aren't easy to find. This is a really good review I can watch this a thousand times over.

      Just swap the hood and paint the wheels but personally I’d play with the chrome instead. Rt hood with nice chrome wheels and all the chrome accents would look sweet.
