This truck is truly unique and has been engineered to be unstoppable. I have driven and towed using it in all kinds of conditions (several feet of snow, mud, rocks, ice) and it has never been stuck. It has only actually been off road a handful of times and been used mostly as my ranch truck in North Idaho. I bought it as a stock truck and had all of the following modifications professionally done. I have personally driven this truck over 2000 miles without refueling on a road trip, just to prove I could. It has had over $140k up upgrades in it, and it kills me to sell it. I intended on keeping it forever. But, my wife absolutely hates it and (she says it is my mistress and one of us has to go...) plus, I have bills to pay. So, I unfortunately need to part ways with it. It has been maintained by the dealer under extended warranties until this year and has no known problems.
According to Banks, it puts out about 500HP and 900 Torque when the Power PDA is cranked up to max setting (SL). I have never dynoed it, but it is very fast and I will have to take Bank's word for it. However, for best fuel mileage, I keep it tuned down to the Power PDA setting of 4 and it gets low to mid 20 - 25 MPG if driven nice.
The KluneV underdrive gives it an amazingly low, low-range if engaged. It acts as a 4 to 1 splitter and if engaged in 4 Low, the vehicle has an aggregated low range of 16 to 1 from the transmission and top speed is about 8MPH. If engaged in high-range, it acts as a 2 low, which is actually why I installed it in the first place. The automatic transmission models do not have a 2 low; so I added one.
I originally had problems with the automatic transmission, in fact I blew up 2 stock ones because of towing after installing the Banks kit. So, I added in an ATS heavy duty transmission and was done. It is solid at this point. The transmission is rated for over 2000 pounds of torque.

The 2016 Dodge Charger Pursuit vehicles are getting Uconnect 12.1. The system's new laptop size touch screen will be dash mounted and at 12.1" is 5 times larger than the current Uconnect 5.0 system. Features of Uconnect 12.1 [00:00:30] include an all-new drag and drop menu bar and Siri Eyes Free. No clunky laptops needed because the system is ergonomically located in the dash. The SRT pursuit vehicles will also be getting 370 hp, factory-installed Mopar upfit packages and an advanced all-wheel-drive system for maximum tactical performance, all-weather traction and fuel-efficiency. [00:01:00] It's clear that the new Charger pursuit vehicles have all the best tech available from Dodge but one important question remains: Do these cruisers got S.C.M.O.D.S.?

2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat revealed [UPDATE]
Wed, 13 Aug 2014Almost immediately after we drove the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, we began wondering: what's next? Pumping 707 horsepower into the Challenger seemed so crazy - and so intoxicating - we just assumed that Dodge would try that trick again.
Rumors swirled about a Charger Hellcat. Frankly it makes even more sense than the Challenger version. The Charger is a bigger car, and Dodge has never been shy about dropping monster engines under its hood. Hell (cat), we've seen Charger mules running around town that appeared to be the super sedan.
And finally, it's here. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat was revealed today at a preview event near Detroit, and it will be a centerpiece of the Chrysler display this weekend at the Woodward Dream Cruise.
Hellcat no help to Fiat-Chrysler's bottom-of-the-pile mpg average
Wed, Oct 15 2014What, you expected the "fastest muscle car ever" to help fleetwide fuel economy? Nope, don't think that's going to happen. That means Fiat Chrysler will likely to continue to languish at the bottom of the heap when it comes to fleetwide fuel economy among the largest automakers serving the US, especially as the automaker starts to sell its Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. A few hundred Fiat 500E electric vehicles aren't going to turn the trend around. See, Chrysler has once again finished at the bottom of the list when it came to fleetwide fuel economy among automakers for 2014 model-year vehicles, according to a preliminary study by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Chrysler and Fiat had an average of 21.1 miles per gallon. That substantially lagged the overall 24.2 mpg average, but it was an increase from the company's 20.9 mpg average last year and the 20.1 mpg average two years prior. For 2014, General Motors had the second-worst fleetwide fuel economy at an even 22 mpg. Fiat Chrysler does say it's working on improving its fuel economy, according to Automotive News. The company plans on making its inline-four-cylinder and V6 engines smaller, and will sell more vehicles with eight- and nine-speed transmissions. Heck, there's even a plug-in hybrid version of the Chrysler Town & Country minivan in the works for late 2015, and the company can tout fuel-efficiency gains with the Chrysler 200 and Jeep Cherokee. We would be remiss if we didn't note that, compared to its muscle-car forefathers, the Hellcat actually performs pretty well at the pump. Last month, word got out that the 2015 Challenger Hellcat, equipped either with a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission, got a combined fuel economy of 16 mpg. Heck, the automatic-tranny version got 22 mpg on the highway. And that's for a car with 707 horsepower and a 10-second quarter-mile time. Still, with the pedal floored, the car can burn a gallon and a half of fuel per minute. Ouch.
