    Out of the 3 Challengers: SRT, R/T and SXT which car would be the most reliable and trouble free?
    We know the SXT will give the best gas mileage and probably the smoothest comfortable ride on the worst of roads that are not perfect but in poor condition.

    I would still go with the SRT. I just like speed, even if it costs me more to own it. ;)

    Chrysler v6 motors are not reliable. Doesnt matter is it RT or SRT but V8 stands for readability..

    I feel the R/T gives you more bang for your buck. For the same price of an upscale SXT/SE you can get a V8 (5.7). You can also save between 10 & 20 grand on an SRT. All depends on what you want and can afford.

    Ok then new question which is more reliable the 5.7 or the 6.4

    R/T vs. SRT in reliability and trouble free.

    So you are going with the R/T then?

    R/T is probably the best buy among the 3. I was just considering that gasoline now is over 4.20 for premium and close to $4.00 for regular. Getting tired of paying these prices.
    I don't think there is much difference between the 5.7 R/T and SXT V-6 in gas mileage is there?
