The Charger RG Series 2011 vs Charger SUV 190 CC 2006 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Charger RG Series 2011 at 22,0 ft versus Charger SUV 190 CC 2006 at 19,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Charger RG Series 2011 tips the scales at 235 lbs — 217 lbs more than the Charger SUV 190 CC 2006 at 18 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 225 hp, the Charger RG Series 2011 has a 25-hp advantage over the Charger SUV 190 CC 2006's 200-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 4 gal and 5 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Charger RG Series 2011 is rated for 8 passengers, while the Charger SUV 190 CC 2006 caps at 6. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Charger RG Series 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Charger RG Series 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 8 passengers and at 22,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Charger SUV 190 CC 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 6 that costs less to run day-to-day.
