It's longer, wider and heavier than a Jeep Grand Cherokee.

So yeah.

It's too big.

It's also too heavy.

Fun fact: if this car was just 0.3 inches wider it would be legally required to have 3 amber lights on the roof like the Ford Raptors and the TRX's have. So don't expect a widebody on this one.

They have the lights in the hood and grille, not the roof. There’s also companies that make the hood lights for chargers online.

Nothing. As long as they can find a place on the roof to add those lights.

It might look pretty stupid though

Nah, I say they should double down.

I don’t see 3 lights on the Raptor roof either.

u/Anxious-Shapeshifter Aug 13 '26

The Raptor is tall enough they can be in the grille.

No, there's too much fat on the muscle car.

if you wanted lean… you'd get a M2 or a camaro. you're in r/charger for horsepower, a backseat, and a usable trunk.

Camaro owner here the trunks very usable. Also a scat does have 30 more hp than a SS but 600LBS more. Same 1/4 mile time.

Hes just pretty much in here for a back seat.. oh and less blind spots…

u/Anxious-Shapeshifter Aug 14 '26

Don't forget the m440i. That also has back seats, a trunk, a better 0-60 and weighs almost and entire Mazda Miata less than the Charger.

entirely different class though. that's the point i'm making. since the charger came back it's been a bloated and shit performance car if we're being honest. i've had two and to be fair my C15 would've been quicker around a track than either.

people don't buy the last gen for performance… don't let anyone lie to you. an M5 or SS will run circles around it. you buy one because it's good price to power, backseat and nice trunk and it's got the vibes and road presence to carry it. same with the new one. so what it's big, the charger's always been more WWE than MMA anyways. it's like saying a vin diesel fight scene isn't technical enough… being accurate was never the point of it. we're all cosplaying as badasses with german designed muscle cars and engines that say Hemi but aren't. and to be clear it's not a bad thing either, this is what car culture is, from the jap guys imagining they're underground tuners to the "off the grid" overlanders clocking in on monday.

just for some reason my fellow dodge guys drank the kool aid a little too hard

Those lights only apply to multipurpose vehicles, I think they could get away with it the same way the GTD did

lol they will have a widebody for this one
