What changed for the 2017 Dodge Charger

What the manufacturer's data shows changed on the 2017 Dodge Charger compared with 2016.

Compared automatically from the manufacturer's trim feature charts, specification sheets, towing guides and the EPA's fuel-economy data for 2016 and 2017. The manufacturer reorganized this year's equipment chart, so features can't be matched line by line with last year's; trims, packages and powertrains above are still compared. Equipment varies by trim and market; confirm details on a specific vehicle.

2017 Dodge Charger fuel economy (EPA)

The EPA rates the 2017 Dodge Charger at 16–23 MPG combined; the 3.6L 6-cylinder (RWD) is the most efficient and the 6.2L 8-cylinder supercharged (RWD) the thirstiest. Every EPA test configuration is below, from the government's fuel-economy database.

City, highway and combined figures are in MPG (MPGe on electricity).

Source: U.S. EPA and Department of Energy, fueleconomy.gov. MPG is miles per gallon (MPGe for electric operation). Plug-in hybrids list gasoline-only MPG with the electric rating underneath. Annual fuel cost assumes 15,000 miles a year at the EPA's fuel-price assumptions, so yours will differ. Range is total driving range on a full tank or charge.

Cold tire pressure
Not a single number: the owner's manual refers to the tire and loading placard (driver's side B-pillar or rear edge of the driver's door), which lists the pressures for your exact tire size and load.
Spare
Depending on equipment the car has a compact spare, a collapsible spare, a limited-use spare or a tire service kit instead of a spare.
Lug nut torque
130 ft-lb (176 N·m), M14 x 1.50 thread, 22 mm socket
Pressure monitor
A tire pressure monitoring system warns when a tire is low.

Sizes and pressures vary by trim, wheel package and load: check the placard on your vehicle and the tire sidewall. Sizes from the manufacturer's specification sheet (2017 Dodge Charger and SRT Specifications). Pressure and spare notes from the owner's manual.

2017 Dodge Charger maintenance schedule

The factory schedule for normal driving. Oil changes follow the oil-change indicator on most models; severe use (towing, dusty roads, lots of idling) shortens some intervals.

2017 Dodge Charger owner's manuals & publications

The manufacturer's owner's manual, quick guides, radio manuals, supplements and warranty booklets for the 2017 model year.

Read for lake-effect country

What counts on a 2017 Dodge Charger from Michigan to Tennessee

We read the 2017 Charger owner data, service schedule and spec sheets with Kentucky driving in mind: frozen starts, salted highways, cratered streets and hills. These are the figures worth acting on.

Sidewall height versus broken pavement

Squalls off Lake Michigan and Lake Erie can drop snow faster than plows keep up, and then tire compound matters more than anything else on the vehicle. Starting from the factory P215/65R17 size, a true winter tire on 17-inch wheels grips packed snow far better than an all-season and leaves sidewall for the potholes the next thaw brings.

The oil grade on a January morning

The fluids table calls for SAE 5W-20 (3.6L and 5.7L) and SAE 0W-40 (6.4L and 6.2L supercharged) at 6 qt (3.6L), 7 qt (5.7L), 7 qt (6.4L) and 7 qt (SRT 6.2L supercharged), with synthetic oil in the specification. Synthetic stock copes with both ends of this region's weather, from a subzero start in the Upper Peninsula to a loaded summer climb in the Smokies. Match the exact specification on the filler cap, not just the viscosity.

Cranking power for a lake-effect morning

Rated battery output: 730 cold-cranking amps, measured at 0°F. A single-digit night in Traverse City or Fort Wayne cuts what the battery can deliver just as the stiff engine asks more of the starter. Past three winters, an October load test tells you more than the date sticker. Charging comes from a 160- to 220-amp alternator.

Traction for snowbelt hills and hollows

This model year offers rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. In Kentucky, the payoff comes in the first hour of a storm, before plows reach side streets, and on boat ramps slick with algae where a two-wheel-drive tow vehicle can spin. Keep the system's limits in mind on ice: driven wheels add grip for going, not for stopping or turning.

Tank size for hill country

The 2017 Dodge Charger holds 18.5 gallons of fuel. Once you leave the interstate in West Virginia or eastern Kentucky, mountain routes can run a long way between stations, and the climbs burn more fuel than flat miles do. Fill up before heading into the hills.

Gravel hollow roads and the air filter

The schedule asks for more frequent air-filter attention in dusty conditions, beyond the normal replacement every 30,000 miles. Gravel roads up Appalachian hollows and coal-haul routes in West Virginia and eastern Kentucky qualify, so inspect the filter at each oil change if they are part of your week.

Octane from the owner data

The owner data specifies 87 and 91 octane, with 89 recommended. A higher grade than the manual asks for adds cost without benefit, while a lower one than required makes the engine pull back ignition timing, which shows most under load on a long Appalachian climb.

Data behind these notes: owner's manual capacities, the Mopar service schedule and factory spec sheets. Regional advice is general, written for drivers from Kentucky to Indiana.

2017 Dodge Charger questions

How much oil does the 2017 Dodge Charger take?
