We cover the Charger from 2005 to 2024. The LX and LD sedans use 2.7-, 3.5- and 3.6-liter V6s, the 5.7- and 6.4-liter HEMI V8s and the supercharged Hellcat, with available all-wheel drive. The 2024 Charger Daytona is a new electric model.


Model year 2006 is part of the Charger (LX) generation (2006–2010). It is the first model year of this generation: the platform, wiring and many procedures changed compared with the previous model, so a manual for an earlier year will not match it.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2006 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “6”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 20 years old, a 2006 vehicle is in the age range where wiring, rubber hoses, seals and corrosion repairs take most of the work, and where original factory information is hardest to find.
Same generation: 2007 Dodge Charger, 2008 Dodge Charger, 2009 Dodge Charger, 2010 Dodge Charger.
