Dodge Charger LD (7th Generation)

20112023 · LD · sedan

Same LX-family bones as the outgoing 2006-2010 car, redesigned inside and out for 2011. Engines: 3.6L Pentastar V6 (292-300hp), 5.7L HEMI V8 (370hp), 6.4L 392 HEMI (485hp in Scat Pack), and the 6.2L supercharged Hellcat HEMI (707-797hp). The Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak Widebody became the most powerful production sedan ever made. Discontinued December 2023 alongside the Challenger; replaced by the electric Charger Daytona.

Watch out: HEMI lifter tick across all three V8 displacements — the MDS lifters (cylinder deactivation) on the 5.7 and 6.4 collapse with depressing frequency, usually between 60-100k miles, often destroying the camshaft when they go. The supercharged 6.2 Hellcat skips MDS but throws its own curve — supercharger bearing failures and oil-pump-pickup-tube cracks are documented.

Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
