2016/2017 Dodge Charger?
do any of them have a backup camera? Honestly I would rather have them order ones with a backup camera than the RT trim.
The V8 HEMI inside is fun but I rather rent a Toyota camery if that's the only other choice because they have the backup camera.

Don't think the ones I've rented have ever had one. But it's been a number of months since I ended up with a Charger. By next Spring, all cars will be required to have them, so then you can have your fun with the Hemi.

Which means I would have to wait until the summer /fall for the 2018 model year. Still it would be nice for them to just buy that option since I doubt it costs more than a few hundred bucks.

Had one a couple months ago from Avis and it didn't have a backup cam either. R/T trim too.

Rear vision isn't lousy like a camaro, Mustang or challenger but it's not a selling point IMHO. it's doable for the most part.

I rented a '16 Charger RT base model from HNL. I love the V8 and would take the HEMI regardless of the trim level, but I agree that it would be more appropriate for it to have a higher trim including backup cam.

Don't get me wrong I love the HEMI V8 but driving in the city where I need to park a lot on the streets the camera is more important for me. The camaro SS which I rented from AVIS is probably one of the few other cars that I find just as fun as the V8 charger.
