Charger RT: AWD or RWD?
I'm thinking about leasing a charger for use back home in MI. It's going to be replacing a quadra-drive grand cherokee. Now, I hope I won't start some holy war, but should I go with AWD or RWD? What are the pros/cons of either? Does a 4000lb car really need the extra traction from AWD? What does it add/hurt?
Thanks
Hurts fuel efficiency, handling, though probably to a near-negligible degree.
Advantage, perhaps four wheel burnouts?!
Yeah, I noticed the sharp fuel-efficiency hit on the 3.5L V6 but on the 5.7L it seemed a bit more negligible.Originally Posted by SmaartAasSaabr

I'm more concerned about how it hurts the handling and feel of the car... and whether it would really help in snowy/loose terrain. I'd expect a car of that mass to be able to have enough grip to move on any surface...
Test drive!
Im gonna go ahead and say, dont buy one PERIOD.
unless you go with SRT dont get one...........
What are the differences between the HEMI and the SRT versions?(besides the obvious)
Wouldnt even buy the SRT if your gonna keep it longer than maybe a year or two.
The transmissions on Dodge/Chrystler is not good for more than 2 years unless you drive it like a Buick...
awd probably loses you a bit more power too compared to rwd. personally i'd love to go the rwd route, but living in michigan, with winter pretty much here, it might be good to go awd
