I'm glad Chrysler got their shit together.

[sssmeee]

lol this video contradicts itself. In the begining he says the purpose of this is to give up nothing, but later on he says it takes a hit on gas milege

great car but the wheels are ugly and small considering the wheel arches are so big so that leaves a big gape between the wheels and arches and another thing is that the interior comes in one color and that's bad cause many people doesn't like black and its modern and sporty the red, maroon,cooper,caramel, burgundy, brown colors.

Wait a minute. A 6.4L V8 with 470hp and 465 ft-lb of torque can only tow 5000 lbs. You have the same tow rating on a 2012 Explorer with its 3.5L V6 that only has 295hp and 255 ft-lb of torque. Hell, the 6.2L V8 on an F-150 pulls 11000 lbs and gets comparable gas mileage.

It took Chrysler damn near a CENTURY to finally get it RIGHT!! Better late than never I guess....

@deljuicy0309 Sure, depends on what you want to (or can) pay. If you got no limitations in terms of money, the X5M surely is the better performance SUV in just about every single possible way.

@RollinOnDemDubz agreed on that, pipe placement sucks, loved the center pipes, and tone at an idle are not that great..its deep when you get on it though while driving..

@wsmarines i have the 2012 srt8, the performance numbers i average on a reg basis are 4.6,with a best time of 4.3 .. 1/4 mile 12.9 with a best 12.7...srt8 all the way..and i just flat out love the look over the bmw..the bmw is hot, but for 30k more..keep it..srt8 all the way.and it can pull my shelby to the track lol and i can race them both when i get there...GOD BLESS!

[deljuicy0309]

@ratmtbolathe X5M Is a beautiful truck, no arguing there and handling wise, well its a bmw..lol..but i have a 2012 jeep srt8..i average 4.5 to 4.8.. and my best run was 4.3 with the best 1/4 time at 12.7..and average 12.9 ..once this thing breaks in a bit it delivers the numbers..it handles excellent ,and and feels great in the corners.and for the price, it looks way better than the BMW to me..but taste is subjective..srt8 was just a better pick for me..

[RollinOnDemDubz]

That exhaust isnt even that great...
