The love affair with SUVs is as strong as ever. With so many entrants into the crossover category, it's sometimes easy to overlook those built for more rugged use. Are you frequently in the mountains or heading out to go kayaking? Or are you a soccer family that needs room for teammates and gear? One of the best-selling SUVs in the Dodge line is the Dodge Durango. You might be wondering how this beast of a vehicle compares to a top competitor, such as the Ford Explorer. Read this brief overview as the team at Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, compares the two vehicles. Exterior Features Dodge Durango by Jason Lawrence is licensed with CC By 2.0 It's the stripes that'll get you first. The Dodge Durango lets you add a sleek and stylish look with Mopar stripes over its topcoat, stretching from bumper to bumper over the roof. You can also choose distinctive colors, such as Sterling Silver, Bright Blue, Gunmetal Low Gloss, and Flame Red. For family adventures, the Dodge Durango lets you install an available roof rack, which will support 150 pounds, so you can easily haul your bicycles, tents, and other cargo to one of the great camping spots near Broken Arrow. The Durango also comes with a package of trailer technologies that'll let you tow along the items you need on your journey. The Ford Explorer is ready for offroad adventure, offering a twin-panel moon roof and features such as a rear liftgate, cargo basket, and rooftop cargo box. You'll appreciate the front struts and rear shocks for uneven terrain and the 18-inch all-terrain tires. Explorer hybrid or limited hybrid models can tow up to 5,000 pounds. Performance and Powertrain Dodge refers to the engines in the Durango trim as "the belly of the beast." Depending on which trim is suitable for you and your family, you can choose from a 5.7-liter, a supercharged 6.2-liter, or a 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 engine. A 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine is also available. The top-of-the-line supercharged engine delivers 710 horsepower, 645 lb-ft of torque, and a towing capacity of up to 8,700 pounds. At the lower end, the Pentastar V-6 drives 295 horsepower with 260 lb-ft of torque and has towing capabilities of up to 6,200 pounds. So you can pull anything from a watercraft to a speedboat. In general, the Durango won't be a cost-saver at the pump. According to EPA estimates, it gets 19 mpg in city driving and 26 mpg on the highway, for a combined rating of 22 mpg. The Ford Explorer, described by Car and Driver as a "perfectly adequate vehicle," comes to the table with a 300-hp turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine. You can also opt for a 400-hp twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 engine. You may lean toward the hybrid version if you're an ecologically sensitive buyer. Given the different engine and powertrain configurations, the Explorer has a few different fuel-economy ratings. Its rear-drive hybrid provides up to 27 mpg in city driving and 28 mpg on the highway, while the Platinum hybrid models register in the EPA estimates at 25 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway. Interior Comfort and Features Drivers are at the center of the interior design of the 2023 Dodge Durango. The car offers a driver-centric cockpit with all the technological features you need to focus on driving. The brand has also kept passengers in mind in its design, building enough flexibility to allow for up to 50 different seating configurations. With three rows of seating, the Durango has room for up to seven. In the third row, you can put the seats down for extra cargo room, keep them both up in a 60/40 split, or have one up and one down based on the needs of your journey. The entertainment/information center leverages the UConnect 5 system featuring a high-definition 10.1-inch diagonal touch screen. Connect your cell phone through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to access your most important apps for your journey. In the Explorer, the standard display is an 8.0-inch touch screen. You can also link to your cellphone through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The Explorer can also serve as a Wi-Fi hotspot. If you want to go bigger on the screen, consider the optional 10.1-inch vertically oriented screen. Each model offers voice-activated navigation and a rear-seat entertainment system. The Explorer's interior offers a standard third row, which allows easy access by moving the second-row seat out of the way. Car and Driver found the rear of the Explorer to be very spacious in tests of how many bags can fit in the vehicle. Safety and Technology The Durango matches its high horsepower with plenty of cutting-edge safety technology, including embedded sensors, software, and cameras. For example, you can "cruise with confidence" with adaptive cruise control. The feature lets you select a minimum separation distance between you and the car adjacent to you, slowing when needed to maintain that space. One of the biggest causes of accidents today is cars that linger in your blind spot. The Durango has you covered with blind-spot monitoring, including rear cross-path detection. Both features have the same purpose: to see areas you can't see. Blind-spot monitoring and cross-path detection are part of the Dodge Citadel family of security technologies. The Ford Explorer also offers technology suites to keep you, your passengers, and fellow drivers safe. Standard features include forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alerts, lane departure warning, and lane-keeping assistance. Test the Midsize SUV Market The Dodge Durango and Ford Explorer offer a mix of comfort, style, and technology for consumers needing more space than a crossover can offer.

The Muscle Car Wars 2023 Dodge Challenger The pony car is a class of American automobiles that emerged in the mid-1960s, defined by its compact size, stylish design, and high-performance capabilities. These cars were aimed at younger buyers who desired a blend of affordability, sportiness, and a sense of individuality. In 1964, Ford introduced the Mustang, often considered the pioneer of the pony car movement. However, the Mustang was beaten to the market by the Plymouth Barracuda, which was released two weeks before the Mustang. Inspired by the Mustang's success, Chevrolet responded in 1966 with the introduction of the Camaro. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, other American automakers joined the pony car race, including Plymouth with the Barracuda, Dodge with the Challenger, and AMC with the Javelin. Each manufacturer added their unique touch to the class, offering different engine options, design elements, and driving experiences. These cars became symbols of the era, representing the spirit of freedom, youth culture, and the pursuit of adventure. Birth of a Legend Dodge arrived late to the American pony car scene by announcing the 1970 Dodge Challenger in 1969, a full five years after the Mustang exploded on the scene. At the time, the automotive world was experiencing a surge in demand for high-performance muscle cars. In this tumultuous era, the Dodge Challenger emerged as a force to be reckoned with. Born from the fierce competition between American car manufacturers, it was Dodge's answer to the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. The first-generation Dodge Challenger shared Chrysler's E-Body platform with the slightly smaller third-generation Plymouth Barracuda. However, the Challenger differentiated itself by having a larger wheelbase and higher-end interior than the Barracuda. Many people consider the Challenger to be a direct response to the 1967 Mercury Cougar, which shared a similar market space seeking to sell to affluent young Americans. Design Mastery Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Dodge Challenger exuded an air of aggression and raw power. Its robust silhouette boasted long, sweeping lines that embodied the essence of speed, while its bold grille and distinctive dual headlights gave it an unmistakable presence on the road. From the get-go, the Challenger's design was an instant classic, capturing the hearts of automotive enthusiasts. One aspect that defined the muscle car era of the early 1970s was the bold colors used by manufacturers. Dodge optioned the Challenger in many iconic stand-out colors, such as Plum Crazy, Sublime Green, Panther Pink, Bright Yellow, and Hemi Orange, which were often accompanied by the iconic bumblebee stripe down the length of the top of the car. Engine Roar The beating heart of any muscle car lies under the hood, and the Dodge Challenger didn't disappoint. It offered an impressive range of engine options, each more potent than the last. The smallest engine available for the Dodge Challenger was the slant-six found in many Dodge, Chrysler, and Plymouth cars at the time. However, those looking for the most performance could opt for several engine upgrades, the most powerful of which was the 426 Hemi V-8 that produced an eyewatering 425 horsepower. The Challenger catered to a wide spectrum of drivers, ensuring that adrenaline junkies and speed demons alike could find their perfect match. Transcending Generations As time marched forward, the Dodge Challenger faced its fair share of challenges. The oil crisis of the 1970s and shifting market demands led to its discontinuation in 1974. Leading up to its discontinuation were stricter emissions laws that found horsepower levels dropping off across the board for all muscle cars and consumers shifting their purchasing habits to smaller, compact vehicles. However, the spirit of the Dodge Challenger refused to be silenced. In 2008, a new era dawned as Dodge reintroduced the Challenger to the world, blending the nostalgia of its predecessor with modern engineering and technology. Resurrecting the Legend The rebirth of the Challenger breathed new life into the muscle car genre. Maintaining the iconic design elements that made it a legend, the modern Challenger featured cutting-edge technology and enhanced performance. With a wide range of trims and engine options, including the awe-inspiring Hellcat and Demon variants, Dodge once again reestablished the Challenger as the quintessential symbol of American muscle. If a new Dodge Challenger sounds like a car you can see yourself in, check out our inventory to find your perfect muscle car. Once you find your ideal Challenger, check out our financing Department, where you can apply for financing and get approved before ever stepping on the lot. Cultural Icon Beyond its performance prowess, the Dodge Challenger has seeped into popular culture, becoming a bona fide icon. Its appearances in films such as “Vanishing Point” and the “Fast and Furious” franchise have solidified its place in the annals of cinematic history. The Challenger's muscular presence and untamed power have come to represent freedom, rebellion, and the pursuit of exhilaration. Legacy of Power As we reflect on the rich history of the Dodge Challenger, it becomes evident that its impact extends far beyond the realm of mere automobiles. Its story mirrors the resilience of the American spirit and the unyielding pursuit of innovation and excellence. From racetracks to open highways, the Challenger's rumbling engine continues to ignite the hearts of those fortunate enough to take its wheel. The Dodge Challenger's journey from its origins in the 1970s to its modern-day incarnation is a testament to the indomitable spirit of automotive engineering. It's captured the imaginations of countless enthusiasts, transcending time and becoming an enduring symbol of power, performance, and passion. So, whether you're cruising down the highway or revving the engine on a racetrack, the Dodge Challenger stands as an emblem of the pursuit of speed, serving as a reminder that the pursuit of speed isn't just about reaching a destination quickly but also about embracing the thrill and excitement that comes with it.

In late 2021, Dodge stunned the auto industry when it announced that it would not release a 2022 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat. Despite the popularity of the 2021 model, the 6.2L V-8 Hellcat engine it contained failed to meet new evaporative emissions standards for SUVs put into place for 2022. This led to the automaker shelving the 2022 model, and it also created some speculation that the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat might not return at all. Fortunately, this didn't end up being the case. The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is back and better than ever in 2023 after its one-year hiatus. And it remains the most powerful SUV out on the road today. Keep reading to learn more about the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat and the variety of features that have Durango SRT Hellcat fans excited for its return.

Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Exterior Since Dodge was forced to stick the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat on the sidelines last year, you may have expected them to tinker with its exterior once it was clear the automaker was bringing it back. But for the most part, the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat looks a whole lot like Dodge left it back in 2021 — not that that's a bad thing. It once again has a bulging body that's clearly inspired by all the different muscle cars in the Dodge lineup. It makes the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat appear every bit as powerful as it is. Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Engine If you think the exterior of the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat looks tough, you'll definitely want to get a load of the engine. It's the reason why Dodge can call the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat the most powerful SUV on earth. It has a supercharged 6.2L V-8 engine that can produce up to 710 horsepower and 645 lb-ft of torque. It also has an eight-speed automatic transmission that can send the engine's power to all four of the new Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat's wheels. Thanks to all this, the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat can go from zero to 60 mph in just over 3.5 seconds, and it tops out at 180 mph. It's also capable of towing up to 8,700 pounds. And as if all of that wasn't intimidating enough, it has an enhanced exhaust system that makes it sound like the massive beast it is. You'll be able to hear the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat coming from a mile away (sometimes literally). Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Interior "Strong" is the word that comes to mind as far as the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is concerned, and it isn't just because of the vehicle's muscular exterior and high-powered engine. The interior of the latest Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is strong, too. From its flat-bottom steering wheel with SRT branding to its Nappa leather seats that are both heated and ventilated to its oversized T-handle shifter, everything inside the Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat seems larger than life. It even comes with a foldaway third row that provides plenty of space for passengers to stretch out. Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Technology Features It just wouldn't feel right to get behind the wheel of a 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat and see a puny touch screen staring back at you. So Dodge went ahead and added a 10.1-inch touch screen to enable you to take control of the company's Uconnect 5 software. It also added features such as standard wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa functionality, and it even made it possible to hook up two different Bluetooth devices to Uconnect at the same time. If all that isn't enough, you'll also have the option to add two 9.0-inch touch screens to the back of the front seats. This is a nice option to have if you're planning on using the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat as a family vehicle. Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Safety Features You shouldn't have to worry about too many other drivers messing with you when you're putting the pedal to the metal in a 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat. But even still, Dodge didn't skimp at all when it was time to incorporate safety features into the Durango SRT Hellcat. It comes standard with features such as rear automated emergency braking and automatic high-beam headlights. You'll also have the opportunity to add optional safety features, such as front automated emergency braking, to the mix if you like. Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Pricing Everything else about the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is supersized. So, it shouldn't come as a huge surprise to hear that, in addition to being the most powerful SUV around, the new Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat is also going to be one of the most expensive SUVs on the market. The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat starts at $91,185 MSRP. Meanwhile, the SRT Hellcat Plus starts at $97,185 MSRP, and the SRT Hellcat Premium starts at $102,480 MSRP. Despite these prices, it wouldn't be shocking to see the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat sell out completely, either. That's exactly what happened a couple of years ago when Dodge started selling the 2021 model. Come Hear the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat Roar It's hard not to be impressed with what Dodge has managed to do with the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat.

Going forward, we're likely to see a shift toward models with electric powertrains, marking the start of a brand-new era for the Challenger line. To show that the 2023 Challenger is the last of its generation, it comes with a commemorative plaque under its hood. Unlike the 2022 model, buyers also get to choose from a range of colors previously featured for the Challenger as part of a lineup of 14 exterior color options. These colors include: Plum crazy. B5 Blue. Sublime Green. Additionally, if you choose the R/T trim, you get a "345" badge for the front fender. This badge honors the Hemi V-8 engine secured under the hood. Also new for 2023 is the introduction of Jailbreak models for the 6.2-liter Hemi V-8 SRT Hellcat. Previously, the Jailbreak option was only available for the SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody. This means even more options for drivers looking to customize their rides. Choosing the Jailbreak model unlocks the full range of personalization options for buyers looking to purchase the 2023 Dodge Challenger. Also on offer for the 2023 Challenger are four limited edition Last Call models. These commemorative models feature special additions, but Dodge will only make 300 to 1,000 of each unit available. Here's a list of the Last Call models: Challenger Shakedown Special Edition. Challenger Swinger Widebody Special Edition. Shakedown Widebody Special Edition. Challenger Black Ghost Special Edition. Dodge Challenger Trim Levels The 2023 Dodge Challenger comes in an impressive variety of trims. There are five options for the non-SRT Dodge Challenger. The standard trim is the SXT. This trim features an eight-speed automatic transmission, eight-inch aluminum alloy wheels, and an eight-way power driver seat. The next trim level is the GT, which features all the same gear that comes standard in the SXT, but features a different look. The GT's style is more aggressive than the SXT, including a rear spoiler for added flare. Stepping up from the SXT and GT is the Challenger R/T. This trim option features a V-8 Hemi 5.7-liter engine. It generates an impressive 375 horsepower, which is an increase from the 303 horsepower produced by the SXT and GT. It can produce 410 lb-ft of torque. Improving even more on the R/T's exciting options is the R/T Scat Pack trim. This trim ups the power even more by featuring a V-8, 6.4-liter Hemi engine. This engine can get up to 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque. The top-of-the-line trim is the R/T Scat Pack Widebody. With this trim, you get all the guts of the R/T Scat Pack, but with a widebody design that is sure to help your Challenger stand out from the crowd. Enjoy luxury features like upgraded cabin materials and heated front seats. This model also comes standard with technology features like internet service that other non-RST trim models can only get optionally. Dodge Challenger Engine and Performance The 2023 Dodge Challenger comes with a few different engine options depending on which trim level you choose. The standard engine is the V-6, which comes exclusively with an eight-speed automatic transmission. It's a 3.6-liter, which generates 303 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque. The V-8 Hemi pushes the engine to another level, offering additional acceleration and power for thrill-seekers looking to equip their Challenger for the road or the raceway. The V-8 Hemi comes in either a 5.7-liter or 6.4-liter depending on which trim level you choose. This translates to 375 horsepower and 410 lb-ft torque for the 5.7-liter and 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft torque for the 6.4-liter. Drivers also get the standard manual transmission rather than the eight-speed automatic as the natural pairing with these engine types. In terms of performance, the Challenger is as fun as it is powerful to drive. Feel the growl of the engine as you accelerate down empty highways and enjoy the responsiveness of the steering as you negotiate tight corners. The 2023 Challenger delivers everything you could want from a true muscle car driving experience. Whether you're making your daily commute or challenging your ride on the drag strip, you'll never get bored with driving your Challenger. Dodge Challenger Interior and Connectivity Simple, retro, and sleek all define the cabin design for the new Challenger. Inspired by the classic 1970s muscle car design, the 2023 Challenger pays respect to its predecessors in terms of style. However, the modern model is even more spacious than its ancestors. It's roomy enough to accommodate five passengers between its front and rear seats, and it can even comfortably fit adult passengers in the back. The modern Challenger also features modern amenities, including all the technology options you need in 2023. All 2023 Challengers come standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
