2017 Dodge Challenger GT AWD

[AlaskaGuy]

I didn't know Dodge made an AWD Challenger until I saw the add on it the other day via Facebook. I see it just came out this year. I think it's going to be a hit here in northern states including here Alaska. It only comes with the 3.6 six cylinder motor but that can be suped up with a super charger and aftermarket exhaust system. This car would be a year round driver up here. This car uses the same suspension as the Dodge Charger Pursuit AWD cars that the cops up here use.

Pretty cool. The front spoiler might be problematic in heavy snow though.

I was thinking the same thing. They say the car sits a few inches higher than the normal Challengers due to the suspension it uses (Charger Police Pursuit suspension that the cop cars use). It uses the same AWD system as those cop cars use also. The front drive line only engages when you need it to.

Stock Michelin's that come with the car (not snow tires).

This supercharger also works with the new Challenger GT AWD.

It is without a few after market fixes. The AWD though is going to be a big hit in the northern states like here in Alaska. They're selling like hotcakes up here atm. I'd like to see that car with a small V8. Chrysler has been talking about reviving the 318 CI which would equal 5.2L

I concur. Like all Mopars these days.

An AWD muscle car is pretty cool....great size to haul a small family if need be as well. Problem is....it's still a Dodge.
