2018 Dodge Charger R/T Performance and Engine

5.7-Liter HEMI V8 Power

The heart of this Charger R/T is the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V8, producing 370 horsepower and 395 lb-ft of torque in stock configuration. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission with AutoStick manual mode, power delivery is smooth, responsive, and genuinely exciting. Rear-wheel drive keeps the driving experience pure and engaging — this is how American muscle was meant to be driven.

The 8-speed automatic is a significant upgrade over older Charger generations, offering quicker shifts and better highway fuel efficiency than its predecessors. AutoStick lets you take manual control when the moment calls for it, making this Charger equally capable on the expressway and on a weekend back road run.

Dodge Charger R/T Features and Interior

A Full-Size Muscle Car with Everyday Comfort

What makes the Charger R/T so compelling is its combination of raw performance and daily usability. Unlike a two-door sports car, this four-door sedan gives you back seat room and trunk space that make it genuinely practical for Michigan winters and Detroit commutes alike. The R/T trim typically includes an 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, heated front seats, a sport-tuned suspension, performance steering, and Dodge's signature gauge cluster with performance pages to monitor your HEMI's output in real time.

The interior carries Dodge's driver-focused cockpit feel — low-slung seating, a thick-grip steering wheel, and aluminum accents that reinforce the performance character without overdoing it.

Dodge Charger Reliability and Ownership

What Owners and Mechanics Say About the HEMI Charger

The 2018 Dodge Charger R/T has earned a reputation as a dependable, long-lived performance sedan when maintained properly. The 5.7 HEMI is a pushrod V8 with a relatively simple architecture — mechanics familiar with it describe it as robust and forgiving. Common maintenance items to stay current on include spark plugs, MDS (Multi-Displacement System) lifters, and transmission fluid intervals, all of which are manageable and well-documented in the Mopar community.

Owners regularly report satisfaction with the powertrain's longevity, and the aftermarket parts availability for this platform is among the best of any car on the road. If you're buying a used vehicle in the 100K-plus mile range, the HEMI Charger is one of the smarter choices you can make.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2018 Dodge Charger R/T a good buy?

Yes. The 2018 Charger R/T offers a rare combination of V8 performance, four-door practicality, and long-term reliability. The 5.7-liter HEMI is one of the most proven engines in its segment, and the R/T trim delivers a genuinely thrilling ownership experience without the premium price of the Scat Pack or Hellcat trims.
 

How many miles is too many on a Dodge Charger R/T?

The 5.7 HEMI is known to last well beyond 200,000 miles with regular oil changes and proper upkeep. At 148,005 miles, this Charger still has a strong service life ahead of it, especially if maintenance has been consistent. It's worth reviewing the vehicle history report and having a pre-purchase inspection done if you want peace of mind.
 

What does the Charger R/T trim include over the base model?

The R/T trim upgrades you from the V6 powertrain in the base SXT to the 5.7-liter HEMI V8. You also get a sport-tuned suspension, performance brakes, R/T-specific badging, and in most configurations the Uconnect 8.4-inch touchscreen, heated seats, and performance-oriented interior appointments that the base trim doesn't offer.
 

Is rear-wheel drive a problem in Michigan winters?

RWD does require more attention in winter driving conditions, but many Michigan Charger owners simply run a second set of winter tires during the colder months. With the right tires and reasonable driving habits, a RWD Charger is very manageable. Many buyers in the Detroit area use their Charger as a three-season daily driver and keep a separate winter beater — a common and cost-effective approach.
 

Can I get financing on this Charger with less-than-perfect credit?

Yes. Best of Michigan Auto Sales works with multiple lending partners and welcomes buyers across the credit spectrum. Come in and speak with the finance team directly — they'll work to find a loan structure that fits your situation.
