Auto repairs can be a costly expense that can unexpectedly affect any individual. Auto service plans will help you avoid and prepare for these unexpected expenses by covering a variety of your vehicle's components.
The Dodge brothers may have gotten their start making parts for the companies that came before them, but Dodge cars like the Challenger would eventually prove to the world where the muscle is in American automobiles. The past few years have brought us the return of the Challenger, a resurgent more accessible Dart, the ever-powerful Durango, and others.
In recent years, Dodge has been recognized for producing a number of top selling cars, trucks, and SUVs. From the sporty Challenger and Charger or more family friendly SUVs, cars, and minivans to the powerful Dodge Ram trucks. There is a Dodge car or truck for any need. Some of the most popular Dodge cars and trucks include the Dart, Challenger, Charger, Grand Caravan, Journey, Durango, and Ram.
No list of the best Dodge cars can possibly begin without talking about the Dodge Challenger. The 2015 model comes with a standard V6 putting out 305 horsepower with an 8 speed automatic transmission. Two V8 engines are available for an upgrade including the 5.4 liter V8 Hemi that offers 375 horsepower and the 6.4 liter V8 that offers 485 horsepower.
For real muscle, check out the Challenger SRT Hellcat that comes with a supercharged 6.2 liter V8 putting out a whopping 707 horsepower. That is more than all other Dodge cars, and more than any other street legal ride in the world. The Hellcat will cost you as much as some of the best luxury cars at over $60,000, but it is easily among one of the top sports cars for sale today.
A far cry from the Dodge Challenger, but also a far cry from the clunky Dodge Dart of yester year, the modern Dart ranks as the average of Dodge cars. With four doors and four cylinders, the Dodge Dart is perfect for family trips to the movies or a day on the town with friends. The 2.0 liter engine offers 36 mpg highway. While the PZEV (partial zero emissions vehicle) trim package available in CARB states features a 2.4 liter engine. This midsized sedan is fairly spacious, although it has been noted that seats are somewhat oddly positioned, giving poor head room and visibility at times. With the basic package at around $16,000, the 2015 Dart is truly a competitor among its class for Dodge cars.
The Dodge Durango is based on a truck body shared by the Jeep Grand Cherokee. This four door SUV features a 3.6 liter V6 engine capable of 24 mpg highway and towing over 6,000 pounds. An optional V8 engine and high technology features make the Durango and other Dodge SUVs trucks excellent choices for the adventurous. Four-wheel drive is also available, but there is a noted rough ride on uneven roads.
The Ram rounds out the family of Dodge trucks and high performance Dodge cars. Available with a 305 HP/3.6 liter V6, a 395 HP/5.7 liter V8, or an efficient 240/3.0 liter diesel V6, the Ram fits many different truck uses, from daily driver to capable of towing as high as around 30,000 pounds. The thirsty V8 only provides 15 mpg, but this is characteristic to most large V8 engines, not just Dodge trucks.
