Since 1900, the world has yet to see Dodge underperform from its glorious past. It’s an undeniable fact that the company’s ingenious talent successively unveils the best innovative models. Every new model consolidates its popularity even more than before. Demands and pre-orders exceed the limited production, while the debonair style lures in the awe ridden audience.
The Durango SRT is no exception. Packed with family entertainment, boasting V8 engines and racing pedigree speed, there’s no valid reason why you would not buy SRT. However, there are several brands that offer much more flexible options than Dodge’s SRT. Trucks, SUVs and even luxurious crossovers - the craftsmanship is unquestionable.
Elements of power, style, bodywork, engineering, and dynamics are grounded to give the best experience to people trusting their wealth into the vehicles. These vehicles have the ability to challenge Dodge’s pompous SRT. Here are 15 automobiles you should consider instead of the SRT.
