Dodge Charger Engines and Transmissions
Every Dodge Charger engine here is a big gasoline V8 sending power to the rear wheels. The 7.0 came with either a manual gearbox for driver control or an automatic for easier cruising, while the larger 7.2 paired with an automatic transmission. This drivetrain layout favours strong low-speed pull over fuel economy.
