Adventure Awaits In the 2025 Jeep Wrangler

The Jeep Wrangler’s off-road ability is not just one of the SUV’s biggest selling points; it’s an indelible part of its history. The Wrangler is a direct descendant of the original Willys MB, a quarter-ton Jeep that served as the go-to light vehicle for the US military in the 1940s and 1950s. That battlefield pedigree is evident as soon as you step behind the wheel. While the Wrangler might have introduced a wide range of modern touches that dramatically improve the SUV’s profile from a comfort, convenience, and tech perspective, it’s maintained those heavy-duty details that make all the difference when venturing into off-road locales. more The Wrangler’s rugged body-on-frame design helps to distinguish it from the new generation of crossover SUVs that, while popular, often lack true off-road ability. Then there are those little touches that have long made the Wrangler such an iconic model. From folding down the front windshield to removing the doors and dropping the top for that classic wind-in-your-hair feeling, few SUVs possess the transformative potential of the Jeep Wrangler. If you’re on the hunt for a Jeep Wrangler for sale, you’ve come to the right place. Join us as we dive into some of the highlights of the 2025 model and learn how a quick visit to our dealership can transform your daily driving experience for the better. Power Your Way: Customize the 2025 Jeep Wrangler Customization is king when it comes to the Jeep Wrangler. Don’t believe us? Just pop the hood. The 2025 model is available with a wide range of powertrains that ensure you’ll always have the right tool for the job, whether it is a cross-country road trip, off-road adventure, or daily commute. The Wrangler gets off to a strong start with a 3.6L Pentastar V6 that’s designed to produce 285 hp. The V6 can be paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, but it’s the standard six-speed manual that really sets the SUV apart in today’s market. The manual offers the sort of control that no automatic can touch, which should come in handy when you’re trying to navigate tricky off-road terrain or forge a strong connection between driver and vehicle. Those in the market for an economical engine that still delivers plenty of power should consider the 2.0L turbocharged inline-four option. Boasting an EPA-estimated 20 MPG in the city and 23 MPG on the highway, this efficient engine is more budget-friendly than most of the midsize off-road segment when it comes time to pay at the pump. The inline-four might not be able to match some of the other 2025 offerings in terms of pure horsepower, but with 295 lb-ft of torque and a 5,000 lb max towing capacity, it exceeds all expectations. Then there’s the 6.4L HEMI 392 V8. Exclusive to the Rubicon 392 Final Edition, the V8 sets a new bar for SUV performance with 470 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque to its name. When paired with the eight-speed automatic transmission, the HEMI V8 makes the Rubicon 392 the most powerful Wrangler to date, with a blistering zero to 60 mph time of just four seconds flat. That sort of speed does carry a cost in terms of fuel economy, but you’ll have a hard time worrying about the gas gauge as the HEMI rockets you across the landscape. Those seeking a more efficient Wrangler experience can always opt for the plug-in hybrid 4xe model. Powered by a tech-forward triumvirate that includes a 2.0L turbocharged inline-four, two electric motors, and a 17.3 kWh battery pack, that Wrangler 4xe provides 22 miles of all-electric range and 49 MPGe while besting all but the V8 at 375 hp. Originally introduced in 2021, the Wrangler 4xe has proven itself over the last half-decade, allowing drivers to embrace the future while enjoying the same top-tier performance that’s long made Jeep the first and last name in the off-road segment. Unleash the Trail: The 2025 Wrangler’s Advanced 4x4 Systems The 2025 Wrangler continues to push the envelope with an innovative design that seamlessly integrates the latest and greatest in off-road driving tech. There are plenty of highlights to choose from, but the Jeep’s advanced 4x4 systems are pretty hard to ignore. It all starts with Command-Trac, which is perfectly suited for the off-road antics inherent to the Jeep lifestyle. Command-Trac not only improves traction in loose, slippery environments, but it can also switch between 4WD and 2WD on the fly at speeds of up to 45 mph. The two-speed transfer case includes both high-range and low-range gearing options, which means the Wrangler is always up for whatever the road might throw at it. Command-Trac comes standard on most trims and provides a well-rounded option that’s ideal for most driving applications. Selec-Trac represents one of the Wrangler’s most advanced 4x4 systems and is well-suited to both on-road and off-road scenarios. Selec-Trac can automatically switch between 2WD and 4WD in response to changing road conditions, which can come in handy when encountering tough winter weather or venturing into off-road terrain. When you engage the automatic 4WD setting, the Wrangler will dole out torque to the front and rear axles as needed, allowing drivers to enjoy all the benefits of 4WD without having to constantly fuss with the controls. This approach brings some real advantages in terms of fuel efficiency, which makes Selec-Trac a great choice for those who need an off-road companion that can double as a practical daily driver. If you’re seeking the ultimate in off-road performance, look no further than the Rock-Trac 4x4 system. Standard on the Wrangler’s Rubicon trims, Rock-Trac has all the bells and whistles you’ll need to find success on the road less traveled. With Tru-Lok electronic locking front and rear differentials and a unique transfer case with a 4:1 low-gear ratio, Rock-Trac sees the Wrangler outfitted with a full arsenal of robust off-road components. Rock-Trac is just as responsive as the Jeep’s other 4x4 offerings with the ability to swap between 2WD and 4WD modes but ups the ante with low-range gearing that’ll provide plenty of torque in low-speed scenarios. Rock-Trac comes in two different flavors: the classic part-time system and a new full-time offering that incorporates the adaptability of the Selec-Trac system. The 2025 Wrangler Is Tech-Savvy and Safe From its generous approach, departure, and breakover angles to its available 35-inch tires, tow hooks, skid plates, steel bumpers, and factory-installed 8,000 lb capacity WARN winch, the Wranglers wears its off-road credentials on its sleeve. While the Jeep’s exterior makes a pretty convincing case for taking a test drive, the interior boasts its own suite of advanced comfort, convenience, and safety tech that allows the Wrangler to hold its own in the competitive midsize category. Jeep has come a long way from its utilitarian roots, which is abundantly clear as soon as you get a look at the Wrangler’s dashboard. Jeep provides buyers with a 12.3-inch touchscreen display running the Uconnect 5 infotainment software, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an active noise-cancellation feature designed to eliminate any interference when you’re trying to take a call while moving at highway speed or bouncing through your favorite off-road hotspot. Speaking of off-roading, the Wrangler also features a built-in navigation system that comes loaded with over 3,000 mapped trails thanks to a collaboration with Trails Offroad. These trails include 62 routes that are part of the Jeep Badge of Honor program, which rewards drivers with badges that can be affixed to the SUV’s tailgate after they complete a particularly challenging journey. A hands-free voice recognition system comes standard, allowing drivers to adjust various settings, make and receive phone calls and texts, and control the Uconnect 5 infotainment system without ever taking their eyes off of the road. Add in Bluetooth connectivity, TomTom GPS navigation with live traffic updates, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, plenty of USB ports, and an available 115-volt AC outlet, and it’s easy to see why the Wrangler has become such a popular option amongst those who put a premium on modern entertainment and convenience tech. The Wrangler also provides drivers with an impressive lineup of advanced safety features, including some advanced driver-assistance systems that can make a difference in terms of driveability. The SUV is packed with an advanced cruise control feature that can bring the Wrangler to a complete stop in dense traffic, not to mention available rear cross-traffic alert and a blind spot monitoring system designed to reduce the chances of an unwanted encounter with another vehicle. The ParkView rear backup camera and available rear parking sensors make navigating dense parking lots a breeze and can also be helpful when trying to guide the Wrangler through a sticky stretch of off-road terrain. An Adventure-Ready Classic The Jeep Wrangler has steadily matured into one of the most versatile SUVs on the market, but it’s never lost sight of the off-road heritage that has long captivated adventure-seeking drivers. Sure, the 2025 Wrangler might offer all the connectivity and convenience features that are so important to today’s tech-loving drivers, but it also gives drivers some of the most advanced 4x4 engineering in the segment with the Command-Trac, Selec-Trac, and Rock-Trac systems. With four engines to choose from, including the plug-in hybrid 4xe, you’re sure to find a powertrain that fits your unique driving needs. If you’re eager to begin your off-road journey in a new Jeep Wrangler, the team at Randy Marion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is here to help. We offer a wide selection of new and pre-owned Jeep models, including the 2025 Wrangler. Stop by and let us show you everything there is to love about the iconic SUV and learn how Jeep’s flagship model has managed to stand the test of time in a rapidly changing industry.

A silver 2024 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon for sale kicking up mud.

Three Reasons the Wrangler Rubicon Is Really (Really) Rugged

Would you say that you’re more adventurous than most? You don’t blow off steam at mimosa brunches or on the golf course. You get your energy out on the open road, surrounded by boulders and waterfalls instead of fake grass and heat lamps. You want to touch and feel nature at its wildest points and aren’t that interested in touching polyester at department stores. Well, it sounds like, whether you realize it or not, you’re in need of a Wrangler Rubicon. The Rubicon is the most advanced off-road variant of the Jeep Wrangler, and it’s pretty much prepared to take you wherever your adventure ambitions want to go. more You can find the Jeep Wrangler for sale, including the impressive Rubicon, at our well-stocked dealership. We know it will excite avid off-roaders and thrill-seekers alike. But you don’t have to blindly trust us on that. Below, we’ll break down three features that make the Rubicon extremely competent on rough terrain (there are way more than three, but we’ll start with these). Even if you’re an avid off-roader who already understands some of these features, it’s always inspiring to refresh ourselves on the cool things a genuine off-road SUV can do. Whether this blog educates you, motivates you, or both, one thing’s for sure: you’ll be packing your camping gear by the end of it. Front and Rear Lockers Let’s first discuss the front and rear lockers, which are going to be your best friends in low-traction situations. As a refresher, lockers let you lock two wheels on an axle together so that they spin at the same speed. If one of your wheels loses contact with the ground, the locker will send torque to the wheel that still has a grip on things, which ensures your vehicle keeps moving forward. As you can imagine, when you ditch pavement and concrete for muddy trails and rocky terrain, there’s no guarantee that all of your wheels will make contact with the ground—or at least quality contact with it—at all times. You could hit a trail that was unevenly washed out by a rain storm, so you have one tire hitting dry land while the other is trudging through mud. You might be on a trail that’s been partially gutted by a herd of wild buffalo, constantly covering potholes on one side, then the other. It’s important that the wheels that have traction get maximum torque. Lockers do that. Why do we love that you get both front and rear lockers on the Rubicon? Keep in mind that many models have rear lockers. But you’ll have the most command with both because it will let you keep on going even if only one of your four wheels has traction. When you have front and rear lockers, you’re ready to tackle any challenging terrain. But remember to disengage those lockers when you have to return to the concrete jungle—locked wheels are tough on tires when you’re driving on regular roads. Electronic Sway Bar Disconnect When you’re navigating appointments in the city or carpools in the suburbs, you want a pretty stable vehicle. You don’t want your vehicle bouncing around in response to every little bump in the road. That’s why it’s great that in most cars, your suspension’s left and right sides are connected, keeping things stable. But when you escape paved roads for wilder environments, you accept that a stable ride simply won’t happen. And, at that point, keeping the left and right sides of the suspension connected can actually lead to an even more turbulent drive. It’s like trying to stay super still when you’re standing in the waves of the ocean; somehow, things just get easier when you let yourself ride the waves and go with the flow. You can effortlessly ride whatever terrain you’re exploring by disconnecting the sway bar of your Rubicon. It’s going to disconnect the two sides of your suspension, so your suspension can bend and flex over challenging terrain, and your wheels can do their own thing, unhindered by the movement of the other. You’ll find that you can climb over rocks with much more ease this way and maintain terrific traction. Just remember to reconnect that sway bar when real life drags you back onto paved roads. Otherwise, you’ll experience some shocking body roll when you’re turning the corner by the grocery store. XTreme 35-Inch Tire Package An impressive off-road vehicle wouldn’t be complete without impressive off-road tires. We highly recommend adding the XTreme 35-inch Tire Package. That will get you 35-inch all-terrain tires with beadlock-capable wheels. The reinforced side walls and amazing traction of these tires should give you the confidence to tackle the trickiest of terrain. If you plan on reducing the air pressure in your tires for off-roading, you’ll appreciate being able to secure that tire bead to the wheel so it doesn’t dislodge when you go rock crawling. This package also gets you a reinforced swing gate, allowing you to mount a full-size 35-inch spare tire. Oh, and you also get a nice 1.5-inch lift with this kit, getting you better clearance on obstacle-littered trails. Even though you'll have to pay more for it, we think this package is well worth it if you want to see what the Rubicon is truly made of. Plus, unlike installing aftermarket lift kits and bigger tires, a Rubicon with the XTreme 35-inch Tire Package is fully covered under your standard Jeep factory warranty and you know that every part of the package will work together perfectly and last for a long time without any surprises. If you’re custom-ordering a Wrangler Rubicon with us, be sure to ask about this awesome package. Explore the Off-Road SUV That Will Explore With You If you’ve made it this far without ordering tons of protein bars and dusting off your hiking boots, then we hope you’ll come to see us when you’re ready to get your very own Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. We have many Wrangle enthusiasts on our staff who would be thrilled to put you in a Rubicon! Tell one of our Wrangler experts about the trails you plan to explore. We can take you for a spin in this off-roading icon, showing you the different knobs and buttons that control the various features we discussed today. We can also show you the many other special Rubicon features we didn’t cover today, from cool off-road camera views to available retractable roofs. We love the sense of freedom and excitement the Wrangler brings to people's lives, and we take great pride in playing our role in bringing that to them. That’s why we also want to assist you in finding your ultimate off-road adventure machine. The feeling you get when you’re out there in the wild in the Rubicon is priceless (but we understand it’s not cost-free, so we’ll help you with that part). When you get a chance to test out all these great off-road features out on the trails, you'll immediately understand why the Rubicon is such a legend in the off-road community.

An Overview of Chrysler's Lineup for 2025

Chrysler's lineup has certainly become lean over the years, with a focus on a specific kind of driver who's looking for a reliable family vehicle. Case in point: For 2025, Chrysler's lineup consists entirely of minivans. If you're in the market for something family-oriented and comfort-driven, you're definitely going to want to head to a Chrysler dealer like ourselves for good values on feature-rich family vehicles. We'll cover the trim levels of each of Chrysler's models, as well as some of their packages, core features, passenger capacities, and available configurations. This guide will give you a good idea of what to expect from the lineup and what considerations you can make when shopping for a 2025 Chrysler model. more The 2025 Chrysler Voyager The Voyager returns for 2025 after taking a hiatus following the 2021 model. The time away from the market enabled Chrysler's engineers and designers to devise cost-effective measures to make this seven-seater minivan more feature-rich, more comfortable, and safer than any previous generation. Another highlight is that the 2025 Voyager offers excellent performance for its size. Powered by the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, the 2025 Voyager makes up to 287 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque and is paired up with a 9-speed automatic transmission. You can achieve an estimated 19 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway in front-wheel drive. The Voyager is only available in the LX trim, and it comes in one of three different colors, with White Clear-Coat and Diamond Black Crystal Pearl-Coat being standard options, while Red Hot Pearl-Coat is available as a premium option. The Voyager is packed with a lot of standard features, including an eight-way power driver seat with memory functionality, so you can conveniently set and store your posture settings. You have heated front leatherette bucket seats, second-row captain's chairs with an aisle to easily reach the third row, and the Stow 'n Go storage system, which makes it easy to fold and remove the chairs from the Voyager so you can make full use of up to 140.5 cu.ft. of cargo volume with the two rear rows folded down. You can access the second or third rows via the power sliding doors, and you can reach the 32-cu.ft. rear cargo area via the power liftgate. Tri-zone automatic HVAC controls help regulate the temperature within the Voyager, while active noise cancellation helps keep the cabin quiet from outside noise. The center console stack, powered by the Uconnect 5 system, also includes a 10.1-inch HD touchscreen that pairs with a 7-inch driver digital display cluster. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with Bluetooth streaming capabilities are also available, and you can enjoy SiriusXM satellite radio and make hands-free phone calls and texts via Amazon Alexa voice support. There is a lot of safety embedded into the Voyager as well, including features like rear park assist to help you park the minivan safely, as well as adaptive cruise control. You have blind spot monitoring, lower anchors and tethers for children, and brake assistance. This gives you a full suite of tech, safety, and comfort, all packed into one affordable minivan. You also have an optional interior protection package from Mopar featuring all-weather cargo floor mats, a cargo-area liner, and a cargo bin Stow 'n Go storage system. The 2025 Chrysler Pacifica The 2025 Pacifica is available in two powertrains and different trims. Of powertrains, there is the conventional gas setup and a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) setup. The gas setup can suit three trims—the Select, the Limited, and the Pinnacle—and is powered by a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 that makes 287 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. It's paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and is available in front- or all-wheel drive, making an estimated 19 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway in front-wheel drive, and 17 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway in all-wheel drive. You can also tow up to 3,600 lbs. This eight-seater minivan features power-sliding doors and a power liftgate with 32.3 cu.ft. of cargo capacity in the rear cargo area behind the third row. You have a total of up to 140.5 cu.ft. of cargo volume if you fold down the second and third rows. The FAV Edition, or the Family Adventure Vehicle, in particular, offers the Thule cargo carrier for additional storage. The FAV Edition also comes standard with a Harmon Kardon 19-speaker surround sound system and a subwoofer. You can also upgrade the standard Uconnect system with the available Uconnect Theater featuring Amazon Fire TV and a FamCam rear-seat camera. Much like the Voyager, the 2025 Pacifica comes standard with a 10.1-inch touchscreen upfront, featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, along with apps and vehicle health information. However, the Pacifica is available with dual rear-seat-mounted 10.1-inch touchscreens with Amazon Fire TV support, enabling those in the rear rows to access movies, television, music, and video games while on the go. Synchronization with the Chrysler app also makes it viable to remotely access the vehicle, including remote lock/unlock and remote start functionality, plus vehicle location services. You have available 8-way power driver and front passenger seats, with 4-way power lumbar support for the driver. Heated and ventilated seat functionality is also available, along with multi-zone automatic HVAC controls. Heated rear seats also add to the comfort, especially if you take long travels or commutes and want to ensure everyone is enjoying the ride. A full suite of safety systems helps keep you safe and stable on the road, thanks to many standard driver assistance features. The 2025 Chrysler Pacifica PHEV The 2025 Chrysler Pacifica PHEV offers many of the same features as the traditional Pacifica but provides a more fuel-efficient alternative via the PHEV powertrain. This setup sees the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 paired with a 16.2-kWh battery pack and electric motor, providing you with 260 hp with a continuously variable transmission; this translates to a robust estimated fuel economy of 82 MPGe, or 32 miles of electric-only driving. This makes for a very enticing option for a family minivan that offers plenty of range. The PHEV setup further provides you with extended fuel economy thanks to the built-in regenerative braking feature. You can also keep track of your fuel economy via the infotainment suite, where you will receive notices to let you know when you're getting the most out of the vehicle during stop-and-go traffic. The Pacifica PHEV is also available in three distinct trims, with the Select being added to the lineup for the first time, followed by the S Appearance, with the Pinnacle sitting at the top. The Pacifica PHEV is available in five color options, including Bright White Clear-Coat and Diamond Black Crystal Pearl-Coat for the standard colors, and Ceramic Gray Clear-Coat, Fathom Blue Pearl-Coat, and Red Hot Pearl-Coat for the premium color options. The Pacifica and Pacifica PHEV both feature Nappa Leather bucket seats; additionally, the Safety Sphere Package is available if you want the surround-view camera system and the parallel and perpendicular park-assist with automatic stopping, which is in addition to the ParkSense front and rear park-assist. You can have other packages like the Roadside Emergency Kit and Interior Protection, but the best value in the Pacifica comes from the Uconnect Theater and Sound Group. This boasts second- and third-row window shades along with built-in GPS navigation support, a 760-watt amplifier, HD radio, and video remote controls with a USB host flip. You also have SiriusXM 360L with three-month subscription access, hands-free sliding doors, integrated voice commands, and the Amazon Fire TV and FamCam features. This is all in addition to the standard Uconnect 5. Are You Interested in a 2025 Chrysler Model?

A silver 2025 Ram 1500 is driving on a grass-lined road.

The Ram 1500 Outdoes the 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500

Full-size pickup trucks are the most popular passenger vehicles on the road today. In fact, the top three selling models are all pickup trucks. Two of those are the Ram 1500 and Chevy Silverado 1500. Each brand has pulled out the stops for the 2025 model year, with each offering drivers plenty of options such as different engines, cab styles, trim levels, drivetrains, and payload bed sizes. This lets you configure your truck to fit your personal needs. However, in comparing the two, the 2025 Ram 1500 gives you better performance at each level, as well as more advanced technology than the 2025 Silverado 1500. It is these factors that help the Ram 1500 push past the Silverado 1500. more The place to go to find a Ram 1500 for sale is Randy Marion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. We are an authorized Ram dealer, able to help you find the 2025 Ram 1500 with the features you want so you can get the job done. Whether you plan to use your truck for work, play, or a little of both, the 2025 Ram 1500 gives you the options you need to make this truck your own. Powering Your Drive: Engine Options The 2025 Ram 1500 and 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 each come with a number of different engine options. While the Ram 1500 offers you three, the Silverado 1500 offers four. This is because the 2025 Silverado 1500 is available with a 3.0-liter Duramax turbo-diesel I-6 engine, something that is not offered on the Ram 1500. However, this engine increases the MSRP on the Silverado 1500 considerably. In all other aspects, these two trucks offer engines that line up as comparable, with a base engine, a mid-level powertrain, and a high-performance engine available on many of the different trim levels. Comparing Engine Options Many of the 2025 Ram 1500 trims either come standard with a 3.0-liter Hurricane turbocharged I-6 engine or offer it as an available option. This engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Drivers will love the impeccable performance of this engine, as it can yield up to 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque. The mid-level engine on the 2025 Silverado 1500 is a 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8. This engine comes paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Like the Ram, drivers can opt for this engine on many lower trims, or choose a higher one with this engine as the standard powertrain. The 5.3-liter EcoTec3 produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, significantly less than the Hurricane turbo on the Ram. The results aren’t even close. When equipped with this engine, the Ram 1500 can tow up to 11,550 pounds, compared to only 11,300 pounds on the Chevy Silverado 1500. The Ram 1500 has a better fuel efficiency rating. The EPA estimates that a rear-wheel drive Ram 1500 with the 3.0-liter engine will get 18 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway (21 MPG combined). A rear-wheel drive Silverado 1500 with the 5.3-liter V8 engine will net 16 MPG in the city and 21 MPG on the highway (18 MPG combined). High-Performance Engine Comparison Each brand offers its flagship full-size truck with a high-performance engine. You'll find that the most powerful engine on both trucks is paired with four-wheel drive, plus all the features a driver would want in a high-performance pickup truck. The 2025 Ram 1500 offers a High Output version of its Hurricane I-6 gas engine, while the 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 has a 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8 with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Despite its obvious size advantage, the Chevy’s high performance engine just cannot match the one on the Ram 1500. Ram’s High Output Hurricane engine delivers an incredible 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque, which is much more than the 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque on Chevy's 6.2-liter V8. More Standard Advanced Technology Today’s trucks are not the utilitarian models of the past. Many feature the latest technology to keep you safe and connected wherever you go. That is certainly the case with both of these trucks. Both the 2025 Ram 1500 and the 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 come with standard safety features and an infotainment system to keep you connected and entertained. However, when comparing the two, you will get more standard advanced technology features when you choose the Ram 1500. Every Silverado 1500 truck comes with the Chevy Safety Assist suite of driver assistance features. These are the same ones that are standard on the Ram 1500. Both trucks have forward collision warning/alert that will let you know of an imminent front-end collision. They also both have an automatic emergency braking system that will engage the brakes, allowing you to take evasive action while reducing any damage caused in an accident. However, the 2025 Ram 1500 goes further by including more standard active safety features than the Chevy. The Ram 1500 has blind spot monitoring, which will let you know if there is another vehicle traveling in your blind spot, a helpful feature for those who do a lot of highway driving. The Ram 1500 has a cross-path detection; this feature will let you know if another vehicle or a pedestrian is about to cross behind you when you have your truck in reverse. This will help you avoid a collision as well. The Ram 1500 also has standard adaptive cruise control with Stop and Go, which adjusts the speed you set when using cruise control to account for slower traffic, it will stop with traffic as well. This feature will help reduce driver fatigue on long drives. This is an optional feature on many trims of the Chevy Silverado 1500 while the Ram 1500 includes it from the start. Another great feature the Ram 1500 has standard but the Silverado 1500 has as optional is front and rear park assist. This feature provides alerts when people, vehicles, or objects are detected in front or behind your vehicle. What About Entertainment Technology? When you opt for the Ram 1500, you’ll enjoy the advantage of a larger, more intuitive touchscreen in your truck. Both trucks feature an infotainment system that will allow you to connect your phones using Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. However, the Ram 1500 has larger touchscreens than the Chevy Silverado 1500, which makes using it more fun than ever before. Lower trims on the Ram 1500 will have an 8.4-inch infotainment screen, with a 12-inch screen available as an option. The Silverado 1500 has a 7-inch touchscreen as its standard option. In addition, the largest screen offered by Chevy measures 13.4-inches, while you can get a 14.5-inch screen on some models of the Ram 1500. Finally, there is a 10.25-inch screen available on the Ram 1500 for the front passenger, something is not available at all on the 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500. Bring Home the Ram 1500 and Explore Excellence Choosing the 2025 Ram 1500 means you’re getting superior performance and advanced standard technology compared to the Silverado 1500 across all trim levels. With its powerful engine options, the Ram 1500 outperforms the Silverado, delivering a more dynamic driving experience.

Your Guide to the Incredible 2025 Ram 1500

The Ram 1500 has been one of the most powerful and impressive trucks on the road for many years, yet the 2025 model manages to take things further than we have seen before. Revamped for the new model year, the 2025 Ram 1500 is an absolute marvel that beautifully combines raw power, sophisticated features, and bold capability to create a truck that is perfect for anything you want it to do. Whether you are looking for a dedicated daily driver, a workhorse that can haul massive weight behind it, or a truck to go out and play in the mud, you can find it at Randy Marion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, your premier Ram dealer. With so much to offer, however, it’s easy to overlook or miss something, so today, we’re going to take you through an overview of this incredible truck to help you get a sense of everything it has to offer. more The Next Generation of Ram Power We’re talking about a full-size truck here, so there’s nowhere else to start than with its engines; of course Ram delivers something special in this regard. To start, we have the same great standard engine that the Ram 1500 has had for a while now: a 3.6L Pentastar V6 with an eTorque mild hybrid system, which provides 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. This is a great starting point, which is why Ram hasn’t felt the need to change or replace it. We’ll see if that’s still true in a few years, but for now it’s a solid choice if you don’t need more power. If you do need more power (and we don’t blame you), then you’ll want to check out the new powertrain available for this remarkable pickup. Although plenty of us are sad to see the legendary HEMI V8 engine head into the sunset, this is lessened a bit by just how incredible the new engine is. The 2025 Ram 1500 has a next-generation 3.0L Hurricane engine on offer that provides 420 hp and 469 lb-ft of torque. This thing is a twin-turbo marvel and an absolute joy to drive, delivering incredible power you have to feel for yourself. With its standard engine, the Ram 1500 offers up to 2,370 lbs of payload and 8,110 lbs of towing capacity; the Hurricane lets it handle 1,980 lbs of payload and up to 11,550 lbs of maximum towing. For even greater performance, just in case that’s something you’re interested in, select high-end trims feature a High-Output version of the Hurricane engine, which provides a massive 540 hp and 521 lb-ft of torque. We’ll admit that this is a lot more power than most drivers need and it doesn’t provide greater towing capabilities. Instead, it’s meant for those folks looking for a truck that roars to life with truly mind-blowing performance. If that sounds like what you want in a pickup, then you owe it to yourself to check out a Ram 1500 with this engine. Bold Looks, Rugged Functionality There’s no denying that the 2025 Ram 1500 is a head-turner; this is a gorgeous truck that immediately conveys the remarkable power it provides. This has always been a great-looking truck, of course, but the redesign for this year makes it better than ever. The front end is broad and expertly designed, with a large grille that lets you know what this truck is all about without going overboard the way some vehicles do these days. Not only does it look amazing, but many of the design decisions Ram has made are underpinned by its functionality, creating a pickup that you can get the most from each day. For example, you’ve got the high-strength steel frame that reinforces its capabilities for towing and payload while providing the perfect platform for the available Active-Level Four Corner Air Suspension system that can automatically lower this truck to reduce drag. The available powered tailgate can open and close at the push of a button on the key fob, making it easy to load and unload anything you need to take with you. One of our favorite features is the class-exclusive RamBox Cargo Management System that’s available: a secured exterior storage area located above the rear wheels that’s lit and has an AC outlet on the driver’s side. Ready to Take You Off-Road We know many people look for a great full-size truck because they want to go off-roading and need a pickup to hit the trail. Ram understands this better than anyone, which is why the 2025 Ram 1500 has numerous options for incredible off-road performance and capabilities. This makes it easy to get what you need from your next truck without going overboard or missing out on anything. If you want to do some light off-roading or need a reliable truck that can get you to your favorite campsites, then the Ram 1500 Warlock is a great choice with its all-terrain tires and a one-inch raised ride height. For more robust capabilities, we love the Ram 1500 Rebel, which has been an off-roading legend for many years now. The Rebel features Rough Road Cruise Control that’s perfect for letting you focus on steering in rough terrain, as well as 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler off-road tires. If you’re interested in power and performance that few off-road trucks can match, then you need to check out the 2025 Ram 1500 RHO, a new standard for trail-ready pickups. The RHO trim features the 540-hp High-Output Hurricane engine, Bilstein Black Hawk e2 shocks, and an enhanced front suspension for greater off-road capabilities. It’s an absolute beast and one of the most incredible trucks we’ve ever seen from Ram—which is saying something. Remarkable Tech Features and a Sophisticated Interior Ram trucks bring a lot to the road thanks to their powerful engines and remarkable functionality; some of our favorite things about these pickups are the next-level technology and comfort features they offer. Standard features include an 8.4-inch Uconnect 5 Infotainment system and a 3.5-inch Driver Information Digital Cluster Display, along with great speakers and enhanced safety tech, including a Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking and Blind Spot Monitoring. You’ll find best-in-class rear legroom in Crew Cab models so your passengers can stretch out and be comfortable, along with Adaptive Cruise Control and a Remote-Start System. To fully appreciate what Ram delivers for 2025, you need to check out the new Tungsten model—the pinnacle trim that takes things to an incredible level… For starters, the Tungsten features a massive 14.4-inch Uconnect 5 NAV system up front along with a 12-inch programmable Driver Information Digital Cluster Display, both designed to make your drive simple and enjoyable. In addition to this, you get a 23-speaker Klipsch Reference Premiere audio system for truly stunning sound, along with heated and ventilated front and rear seating. The Tungsten comes with 24-way power-adjustable front seats with massage functionality along with premium leather upholstery. Add in the class-exclusive dual wireless charging pads up front and a front passenger interactive display, and you have a truck that leaves behind everything else out there when it comes to sophisticated luxury. The Ram 1500 Is Ready to Take You Further Whether you’re looking for raw power and towing capacity, off-road capabilities that let you go on any adventure you can imagine, or stunning interior features designed to elevate every moment you spend on the road, the 2025 Ram 1500 is ready to deliver. You have 10 different trim levels to choose from with this new generation for the Ram pickup, which gives you plenty of options designed to meet any need. That can also be a bit overwhelming, which is why it is so important that you shop at a dealership that puts your needs first and with people who are committed to helping you find everything you need. At the right Ram dealer, you can relax and focus on getting a truck that you’ll love driving for many years to come, which is precisely what you’ll find here with us at Randy Marion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.

Get to Know the Jeep SUV Lineup

The Jeep brand means different things to different people. It's an iconic name that represents an indomitable spirit of adventure as well as the new standard in remarkable luxury with models like the Grand Wagoneer. One thing we can all agree on, however, is that the Jeep SUV lineup is something special and represents an incredible array of vehicles. You have plenty of options available to you when it comes to SUVs here at your Jeep dealer, which can make it tricky to navigate all of these remarkable vehicles and find the right one. That’s why we’re here to help. Today, we’re going to take you through the Jeep SUV lineup and get to know each one so you’ll have a better sense of what these different models bring to the road (and far beyond it). more Jeep Compass Kicking things off, we have the smallest model in the Jeep lineup; the Compass is a subcompact SUV and the perfect choice if you’re looking for something modest yet fun to drive. First released for the 2007 model year, the Compass has proven itself time and again as a favorite for many drivers due to its rugged nature and sporty performance. The modern Compass features a turbocharged engine that makes it incredibly fun to drive, with terrific options and features for getting around town or heading to your favorite campsite. This might not be the most capable Jeep SUV on the market, but it can still easily leave pavement behind when you want to. One thing we particularly like about the Compass these days is that Jeep keeps things pretty simple with it, so you’re not drowned by options if you’re interested in the model. There’s a single engine, and the performance is impressive no matter what other features you’re interested in. This lets you focus on the different trim levels to see what each offers and decide on which one is right for you; for example, we suggest the Trailhawk if you’re looking for a small SUV that’s ready to take you off-road. Inside, you’ll find great features, including a large infotainment display that’s easy to use, comfortable seating, and much more to enjoy. Jeep Wrangler One of the most legendary vehicles in the auto industry, the Jeep Wrangler is the inheritor of the legacy of the original Jeep that was used in World War II. That first military Jeep earned a legion of fans, resulting in demand for a civilian Jeep that hit American roads following the war. In the decades that followed, the Jeep CJ continued to build an incredible reputation for its ability to go anywhere and keep running for a long time. After several decades, Jeep introduced the Wrangler in the 1980s as a successor to that legacy, and it has been an amazing trail companion for adventurous drivers ever since. Available with either two doors or four, the Wrangler is an American icon and one of the most important vehicles still being made. It’s also the perfect choice if you need an SUV that’s as rugged as anything you can imagine, ready to brave the harshest trails and the most demanding conditions. You can find several different engines and even different four-wheel drive systems on the Wrangler, letting you choose the kind of performance and capabilities you need from your vehicle. The Rubicon trims, in particular, deliver an unbeatable combination of bold performance, trail-ready capability, and impressive features that you’ll love driving day after day. Jeep Grand Cherokee & Grand Cherokee L For something quite a bit larger, the Grand Cherokee is the perfect choice to ensure you get a Jeep that is ideal for a wide range of situations. This is one of our favorite picks for drivers who have a large or growing family since it can offer three rows of seating inside, making it perfect for when you need to bring a lot of people with you. First released more than 30 years ago, the Grand Cherokee has made a name for itself as an incredible choice for drivers who demand the most from their SUVs. It’s also been through a lot of changes over the years, as you might expect, but it’s never stopped being the perfect choice for a reliable family SUV that’s also incredibly fun to drive. These days, you have more options than you might expect with the Grand Cherokee, making it easier for us to find you exactly what you’re looking for. A powerful V6 engine is standard in the Grand Cherokee, giving it plenty of muscle while also delivering impressive towing capability, which makes this the perfect choice if you have a boat, small camper, or trailer that you need to pull behind your SUV. The standard Grand Cherokee is a great pick, but if you’re looking for something even larger and more spacious inside, then consider the Grand Cherokee L. With the Jeep Grand Cherokee L, you get a longer wheelbase and three-row design, with more total cargo capacity and more room for all of your passengers to stretch out and be comfortable. Jeep Wagoneer & Wagoneer L One of two incredible full-size SUVs that have recently joined the Jeep lineup, the Wagoneer is the first one to check out if you’re interested in remarkable refinement. The Wagoneer name was first used by Jeep in the 1960s and remained in production as a truck-like SUV through the early 1990s before being replaced by the Grand Cherokee. Recently, however, the Wagoneer made its return, marking a new high level of luxury and innovative technology in the Jeep lineup. The Wagoneer is a full-size SUV with a powerful engine and an incredibly spacious interior for you and your passengers. You’ll find large displays inside this SUV, along with luxurious and comfortable seating, remarkable sound systems, and much more. If you want something even larger, then the Wagoneer L features a longer wheelbase and overall size, much like the Grand Cherokee L. This is the perfect choice if you prefer a large SUV with amazing features inside and out without going overboard. Jeep Grand Wagoneer & Grand Wagoneer L If you do want to go overboard, then the Grand Wagoneer is the SUV for you. This model is the same size as the Wagoneer, and there is also a Grand Wagoneer L version available that’s bigger and more spacious inside. What makes this one particularly “Grand,” however, is the stunning array of features that it comes with. For starters, there’s a massively powerful engine that roars to life with power beyond anything else in the Jeep lineup—it’s a powertrain worthy of sibling brands like Dodge and Ram. Inside the Grand Wagoneer, luxury and sophistication are taken to excess with massive screens, including a dedicated passenger display, and much more is available. Topping it all off is the available class-exclusive McIntosh Reference sound system, with audio that surpasses anything we’ve heard on the road. This is sophistication and refinement beyond anything else in the Jeep lineup, with plenty of power and capability to spare. Which Jeep SUV Is Right for You? Now that you’ve had a good look at what Jeep offers, you can see that there’s something for just about everyone in this selection of vehicles. From the versatility of the compact Compass to the unsurpassed adventurousness of the Wrangler to the stunning excess of the Grand Wagoneer, the Jeep lineup includes SUVs that go beyond all expectations. At the end of the day, this is what keeps drivers coming back to Jeep, excited to see what’s next and discover power and precision beyond what other brands can offer. The lineup gives you an incredible selection of vehicles to consider if you’re heading to our dealership for your next SUV. All you have to do is decide on what you want in your next ride, weigh the available options, and let us help you find what you’ve been looking for.

Why Buying a Certified Pre-Owned Ram Truck is the Smartest Choice for Savvy Drivers

Who said value means sacrifice? In the world of Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles, the Ram pickup truck stands out for its outstanding value, reliability, and performance. As your trusted used Ram dealer, Randy Marion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is here to help you understand why opting for a CPO Ram truck could be the best investment in a vehicle you make this year. Not only does buying CPO mean you're getting a truck that has been thoroughly inspected and backed by the manufacturer, but it also provides you with several benefits designed to give you peace of mind for the long haul. more Ram's CPO program is designed for truck enthusiasts who need performance and durability without a hefty price tag. Unlike standard used vehicles, a Certified Pre-Owned Ram brings confidence to the buyer by meeting specific quality standards, making it an excellent choice for drivers who need a truck they can rely on for work and recreation. As we explore the benefits of buying a CPO Ram, consider the value, warranty, and rigorous testing that goes into each certified model, delivering a high-quality, affordable option that works as hard as you do. No matter what you plan to use it for, a Certified Pre-Owned Ram is ready to handle it all. Prime Performance Checked in a Rigorous Inspection Process Each vehicle must pass a comprehensive inspection to earn its certification. Ram CPO trucks undergo a detailed 125-point inspection, covering every essential part of the vehicle, from the engine and transmission to the interior features and electrical systems. This meticulous process checks that each truck meets Ram's high standards, which gives drivers confidence that their CPO vehicle is as close to new as possible in terms of condition and performance. A Certified Pre-Owned Ram is indeed a truck that has been thoroughly vetted by certified technicians who know Ram models inside and out. Any components that fail to meet the brand's standards are repaired or replaced using genuine Ram parts, upholding the integrity of the vehicle. This level of scrutiny is especially reassuring for those who may use their truck for heavy-duty tasks, like towing, hauling, or off-roading, as it confirms the truck is up to the challenge. The comprehensive inspection covers everything from brakes and suspension to electrical systems and safety features, so buyers can rest assured that they're getting a quality vehicle. In addition to the mechanical inspection, the truck's overall appearance and interior are also assessed, so you're driving away in a Ram that looks and feels fresh. This process aims to maintain the quality and appeal of the truck, offering buyers a like-new experience at a fraction of the cost. Knowing that your Ram has passed such a stringent evaluation can make a huge difference when considering your purchase options, especially if you're searching for a reliable truck without the new car price. Comprehensive Warranty Coverage Offers Peace of Mind Another major benefit of buying a certified pre-owned Ram truck is the all-encompassing warranty coverage that comes with it. Unlike typical used vehicles, Certified Pre-Owned Ram trucks are backed by a factory warranty, giving you the assurance that if something does go wrong, it'll be covered. Each CPO Ram is backed by a 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty from the original in-service date, which includes towing and roadside assistance. This warranty alone provides substantial value, covering essential components like the engine, transmission, and drive system—all of which can be costly to repair out of pocket. In addition to the powertrain warranty, buyers also receive a 3-month/3,000-mile Maximum Care Warranty, which provides additional coverage for over 5,000 different vehicular components. This extra layer of protection adds even more peace of mind, knowing that your truck's critical systems are safeguarded against unexpected repair costs. A CPO  gives you the best of both worlds: the affordability of a used vehicle with the security of a new truck warranty. This type of coverage is particularly appealing to those who plan on using their truck for tough jobs or in challenging conditions, where reliability is paramount. The added support of 24-hour roadside assistance is another perk that CPO buyers can rely on. Whether you're stranded with a flat tire, run out of fuel, or need a tow, Ram's CPO program has you covered. Roadside assistance is available throughout the warranty period, giving you confidence that help is always just a phone call away. For those in need of regular roadside support or long-haul drivers, this benefit provides real security, adding another layer to the appeal of choosing a Certified Pre-Owned Ram. The confidence that comes from reliable roadside assistance and extensive warranty protection makes CPO models a smart choice for any driver who values assurance in their vehicle. Lower Depreciation and Greater Value Retention One of the financial benefits of buying a Certified Pre-Owned Ram is its reduced rate of depreciation compared to a brand-new truck. New vehicles typically lose value the moment they're driven off the lot, often depreciating significantly in the first few years. However, with a CPO Ram, much of this initial depreciation has already occurred, giving buyers a high-quality truck without bearing the cost of that rapid drop in value. Because Ram trucks are built for durability and known for their longevity, they tend to retain their value exceptionally well. A Certified Pre-Owned Ram combines the benefits of strong value retention with lower upfront costs, making it a wise financial choice. This makes CPO Rams ideal for those who want a reliable, long-lasting truck without the steep price tag associated with a new vehicle. No matter if you're financing or paying outright, the savings and retained value make a CPO Ram a sound investment. Moreover, Ram's reputation for durability means that even used models continue to perform well and maintain appeal over time. Should you want to trade up to a newer Ram model in a few years, the strong resale value of a CPO truck can be a significant advantage. This aspect of CPO buying not only helps secure a solid return on investment but also positions buyers to upgrade with confidence. Buying a CPO Ram is about securing long-term value, knowing your investment holds strong in both performance and resale prospects. Better Financing Options That Make Ownership Easier When it comes to purchasing a vehicle, having access to the best financing options can make all the difference. Certified Pre-Owned Ram trucks often come with better financing rates than standard used vehicles, allowing buyers to enjoy lower monthly payments and less interest over time. Because CPO vehicles are seen as a lower risk by lenders due to the rigorous inspection and extended warranty, many financial institutions offer more favorable terms. Randy Marion CDJR works with trusted lenders to help our customers secure the best possible rates for their CPO Ram. Owning a high-quality Ram becomes even more attainable with flexible financing solutions. Whether you're looking for lower payments or a shorter loan term, the financing choices associated with CPO trucks make it easier to find an option that fits your budget. This is particularly beneficial for those who need a capable truck for work purposes, as the reduced financial strain allows them to invest more confidently in a vehicle they'll use and rely on every day. Also, some buyers may qualify for manufacturer-backed incentives on CPO purchases. These can further reduce the cost of ownership, making CPO Rams an even more appealing choice. By combining great financing rates with potential incentives, CPO buyers can experience the joy of owning a dependable Ram truck without stretching their budget. Options like low-interest financing, manufacturer-backed promotions, and longer loan terms provide financial flexibility and reinforce the appeal of owning a CPO Ram. A Certified Pre-Owned Ram is the Smart Choice for Those Wanting an Affordable, Quality Truck The advantages of purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned Ram are undeniable. From the peace of mind provided by a thorough inspection and vast warranty coverage to the financial savings and excellent financing options, buying a CPO Ram is a choice that makes sense to many drivers. Even if you're new to the world of Ram, Certified Pre-Owned models offer the quality and reliability you need at a price that stays within your budget. Ready to experience the benefits of a Certified Pre-Owned Ram for yourself? Visit Randy Marion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and let our knowledgeable team help you find the perfect CPO truck. With a selection of top-tier vehicles and a commitment to exceptional customer service, we're here to make sure that you drive away in a Ram that checks every last box.

Looking for an Affordable Pickup With Plenty of Strength? Consider a Used Ram 1500

When it comes to seriously-capable trucks from brands that focus exclusively on trucking, there is only one option that should come to mind: Ram. With the unique advantage of producing only trucks and vans, Ram pours all of its blood, sweat, and tears into producing the most impressive and capable trucks possible. Anyone who's ever owned or driven a Ram knows that it's hard to beat the durability and capability of a Ram 1500. If your life or work requires that you have a truck with some next-level capability, it may be time to make the move on the Ram 1500. But, if you're trying to be conscious of budget, and the new Ram prices just aren't a fit for you right now, visiting a used Ram dealer will show you that you don't need to buy a new one in order to have the capability you need in the truck that you want. When purchasing a used vehicle, you always want to approach it strategically; if you blindly get the first one you see, it may be more worn than you realize, or it may not have all of the features you want. But, if you do some research upfront and seek out a recent model year, you'll likely find an option without much wear and tear, with many new and up-to-date features but a significantly lowered price. That's the ideal combination right there. So, to help you as you consider going for that used Ram 1500, let's cover some of the high-level basics of what to know when shopping for a used Ram 1500. more An Overview of the Ram 1500 Maybe you've heard of Ram, but what does 1500 mean? Most brands' truck lineups have multiple size options, ranging from midsize to heavy-duty. Full-size trucks are usually indicated by some variation of the number "1500," whereas heavy-duty trucks are indicated by some variation of the numbers "2500" and "3500." The numerical rating system originally comes from the truck's weight capacity, with a 1500 full-size truck having a half-ton capacity. Heavy-duty pickups with the 2500 title are three-quarter-ton trucks, while the 3500 nametag indicates it's a one-ton truck. As such, the Ram 1500 is Ram's standard full-size, half-ton pickup truck. The Ram 1500 makes its standing in the industry as a leading truck in terms of heftiness and capability. While some trucks can lean more toward "trucking for non-truckers," the Ram is a true trucker's pickup, with its focus being durability, performance, capability, and convenience. If you're looking at a used Ram, you're in for a quality trucking experience no matter what model year you purchase. However, it is important to be aware of significant model years. So, let's cover some key models. 2019 Ram 1500 Used vehicles sometimes have a stigma of being abused and worn out; however, this is often not the case. In fact, many models on the used market are from recent model years and were previously used for industrial purposes, meaning they are in great condition with low mileage. When it comes to the Ram 1500 specifically, we suggest looking at the 2019 model and later. Not only does this guarantee that the vehicle is from a recent model year, increasing the likelihood that you find one of the previously-mentioned "great condition" models, but the 2019 model year was significant for the Ram 1500. Whenever a vehicle's new model year comes with the title "All-New," it's worth paying attention to because it means that that year's improvements far exceed standard year-to-year updates; this terminology suggests that the car has received a significant makeover or advancement, usually capturing architecture, design, capability, and technology all at once. As you may have guessed by now, the 2019 Ram 1500 was released as "All-New." The 2019 model restructured the vehicle to emphasize its performance capability. Taking the vehicle's weight down by almost 225 lbs compared to the 2018 model, this newly improved Ram 1500 doesn't get in its own way. With this restructuring came a new frame made with 98% high-strength steel, leaning even more directly into the truck's acclaimed durability and making it the strongest version of the truck produced up to that point. On the note of strength, 2019 introduced the updated performance specs which have wowed the market for the last five years, with the truck offering a maximum payload capacity of up to 2,300 lbs and a towing capacity of up to 12,750 lbs. That's the capability that has earned the Ram its place in the market as a workhorse champion. With significant powertrain advancements in the 2019 model year, the Ram 1500 added the eTorque mild hybrid system to its offerings. Not only does this hybrid system offer tremendous efficiency, but it also significantly increases the truck's horsepower and torque specs by a significant amount. With all of this in addition to seriously-improved technology and huge steps forward in terms of luxury design, the 2019 Ram 1500 set up the truck for a new decade of a heavily-improved trucking experience, whether you're trucking for pleasure or for work. 2022 Ram 1500 If you're looking for an even more recent Ram 1500 model, we highly suggest the 2022 model. With the 10th anniversary of the Limited Trim, Ram released a special edition to celebrate. With an exclusive Blue Shade exterior and unique features on the interior, including Indigo and Sea Salt quilted leather seats, anybody who can get their hands on the Limited 10th-anniversary edition will have the ride of a lifetime. Regardless of whether you can get the Limited 10th anniversary edition or if you get a standard 2022 Ram 1500, you'll have the new Uconnect 5 system, which makes the vehicle's 12-inch touchscreen a hub to keep you connected for the whole ride, whether you're cruising, towing, or hauling cargo. More significantly to the vehicle's performance, the 6.2-liter HEMI V8 engine truly crushes the competition with 702 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. That's the benefit of going with a brand that focuses exclusively on trucks; Ram has been honing their craft for years now, and this model year is a prime example of the huge leaps of progress the celebrated manufacturer has made. Ram has perfected the skill of trucking, and you'll reap the benefit in the 2022 model. A Pre-Owned Ram 1500 is a Great Investment Ram delivers trucking performance like no other brand. If you compare the vehicle's capability to that of its competitors in any given model year, you will see consistent and clear advantages in Ram's vehicles. With Ram's single-minded focus on trucking performance, the brand is able to provide more than the others. If you're looking for a beast of a truck, whether for work or play, with a singular goal towards greatness, there is only one brand that can deliver that like nobody else, and it's Ram. A well-kept used Ram 1500 still has a lot of value left in it, so truckers should not hesitate to seek one out.

More Luxury, Ingenuity, and Capability: A Look at Grand Cherokee Updates Since 2020

What’s the best way to bring your dreams of adventure to life with your next vehicle? Moreover, is it possible to do this without spending a fortune on a new model? As your premier used Jeep dealer, we are excited to say that it’s not only possible but an everyday reality for our customers thanks to models like the award-winning Grand Cherokee. more A staple in the Jeep lineup since the early 1990s, the Grand Cherokee is a best-selling SUV known for its competency on and off the pavement and its luxurious cabin that blends athleticism with sophistication and ingenuity. This combination is prominent throughout our selection of used Grand Cherokee models, with most customers turning to 2020 or newer models to enjoy modern styling, capability, and technologies comparable to the newest Grand Cherokees on our lot. Appreciating the Legacy: Grand Cherokee History Investing in a used Grand Cherokee means joining an incredible legacy that’s defined the American landscape since the 1940s. Jeep was born of necessity when it responded to a bid from the American military for a light reconnaissance vehicle. The Willys Quad was vital in the war, leading Jeep to expand to the civilian side. The Quad paved the way for the Wrangler and, ultimately, the Grand Cherokees on our lot today. Decades after Jeep introduced its CJ or Civilian Jeep, the automaker answered the need for a more luxurious and adventurous SUV with the Grand Cherokee. The mid-size SUV made an incredible debut when it crashed through the glass windows of Cobo Hall during the 1992 Detroit Auto Show. It broke the proverbial glass ceiling by encouraging drivers to shift their perspective of what an off-road-capable SUV should be. With the Grand Cherokee, adventure can also be luxurious. Grand Cherokee Highlights: 2020 to Present Today, every Grand Cherokee in our inventory embodies this incredible legacy and continues a rich tradition of balancing luxury with capability. More importantly, Jeep consistently updates the Grand Cherokee to introduce new capabilities and features. Because of this, late fourth- and early fifth-generation models are popular finds on our used lot. 2020 Grand Cherokee: The Year of Trim and Package Updates Jeep made several updates to the Grand Cherokee’s trim and packages in 2020. The seven-trim lineup starts with the Laredo and Limited, followed by the Trailhawk, Overland, Summit, SRT, and Trackhawk. The trims boast distinct personalities and capabilities, courtesy of Jeep’s award-winning Pentastar 3.6L V6 that serves as the base powerplant. The 475-hp 6.4L V8 powers the SRT, while the potent Trackhawk generates 707 horsepower from its supercharged 6.2L V8. New trim details and package options for the 2020 Grand Cherokee start with the Premium Lighting Group, which adds high-intensity headlamps, LED fog lights, automatic high beams, and signature daytime running lights. Jeep expands the availability of its Active Safety Group to the Laredo, a significant upgrade to the base trim. The suite adds Forward Collision Warning-Plus, LaneSense Lane Departure Warning-Plus, Advanced Brake Assist, and auto high beams. Trim-specific updates include a new wheel option—20-inch Titanium Aluminum wheels—for the Trackhawk and a Signature Leather-Wrapped Interior Package that trims the cabin in Black and Ski Gray. The Overland and Summit also introduce new interior options, with Jeep pairing Dark Sienna and Black on the Overland and Brown with Light Frost on the Summit. The High Altitude is instantly recognizable by its Low Gloss Granite Crystal wheels, while the Limited and Trailhawk feature a standard sunroof that adds to their opulence. 2021 Grand Cherokee: The Commemorative Anniversary Edition The 2021 Grand Cherokee celebrates Jeep’s rich history with the 80th Anniversary Edition. Based on the Limited, the special edition Grand Cherokee exudes luxury with its leather seating, Light Tungsten interior accents, commemorative badging, and extensive suite of advanced connectivity, safety, and driver-assist technologies. Jeep spares no expense and outfits the model with the Pro Tech II Package, adding features like Full-Speed Collision Warning with Active Braking, Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, and Advanced Brake Assist. The rest of the Grand Cherokee lineup sees modest updates for 2021. The Limited introduces a dual-pane sunroof and a nine-speaker audio system with the Sun and Sound Package. The Laredo X adds an expansive 8.4-inch touchscreen with navigation and luxuries like heated front seats and a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel. 2022 Grand Cherokee: A New Generation and a Growing Lineup Jeep introduced the fifth-generation Grand Cherokee in 2022, redesigning the award-winning SUV and expanding its lineup to offer more capability and innovation. You’ll see this firsthand as you shop for a 2022 Grand Cherokee, especially with the first-ever Grand Cherokee 4xe and the Trailhawk 4xe. These trims electrify the Grand Cherokee as plug-in hybrid vehicles that boast an estimated range of 440 miles and redefine the all-immersive Jeep experience with a near-silent 25-mile all-electric range perfect for venturing into the woods. With 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of near-instant torque to complement Jeep’s legendary four-wheel-drive systems, the Grand Cherokee 4xe trims are competent adventurers on and off the pavement. The 2022 Grand Cherokee’s redesign also introduces a more spacious, luxurious, and tech-savvy cabin. With an increase in passenger and cargo volumes, the Grand Cherokee showcases Jeep’s keen attention to detail by blending functionality and luxury. This balance is especially apparent in trims like the Summit Reserve, which features Palermo leather seats and Jeep’s all-immersive 19-speaker, 950-watt McIntosh audio system. Drivers who appreciate modern technologies will want to start their Grand Cherokee with the 2022 model. Jeep introduced the Uconnect 5 system and debuted a segment first with the front passenger touchscreen display. The expansive digital displays complement the Grand Cherokee’s comprehensive suite of driver-assist technologies that include over 110 features like Active Driving Assist and a 360-degree surround-view camera. 2023 Grand Cherokee: The Evolution Continues Riding the heels of its fifth-generation debut, the Grand Cherokee sees few updates for 2023. Jeep finetunes the Grand Cherokee’s lineup to reflect the growing demands, particularly its commitment to a future of “Zero Emissions Freedom.” We see this in the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk, which, as of 2023, is only available as a plug-in hybrid or 4xe model. Beyond the Trailhawk’s update, the 2023 Grand Cherokee sees more features added to various trims. For example, the Limited and Overland models come with a 10.1-inch touchscreen with the Uconnect 5 NAV system. You can also find trim-specific upgrades, like the nine-speaker audio system on the Limited or the 19-speaker McIntosh system on the Overland and Summit. Get Behind the Wheel of a Pre-Owned Grand Cherokee and Join the Legacy Jeep has an impressive history in the American automotive landscape, with models like the Grand Cherokee proving that luxury and adventure aren’t mutually exclusive. Because of this, finding a used Grand Cherokee is an excellent investment because it means joining the Jeep family and reaping the rewards of the brand’s legendary capability without paying the new car MSRP. So, how do you choose the perfect year model? You can’t go wrong shopping for a 2020 or newer Grand Cherokee. As you narrow your options, consider your wants and must-haves in your next SUV. Do you dream of driving an exclusive model like the 80th Anniversary Edition? Do you want a powerhouse like the Trailhawk, and, more specifically, would you like it with a hybrid powertrain? These questions can help you finetune your search and put you in the driver’s seat of an award-winning Grand Cherokee destined to make every moment an adventure.

Three Terrific Wrangler Trims to Check Out When Shopping Used

Have you been looking for an impressive and highly capable off-road SUV to power your adventures? When it comes to open-air freedom, unstoppable 4WD capability, and heavy-duty components that can weather just about any terrain, it simply has to be the Wrangler. Many other manufacturers have attempted to make vehicles that compete with the Wrangler, but none of them offer the rugged abilities this iconic off-roader brings to the table. more Few vehicles can proudly be named amongst those driven by military personnel, and the Wrangler is one of them. And if it's tough enough for WWII soldiers, the Wrangler should be tough enough for your off-road adventures. Ready to find yours? As a used Jeep dealer, we have tons of pre-owned Wrangler models to check out. Below, we'll cover three awesome trims to look for when shopping for a pre-owned model. And if you need help narrowing down some options, our team here at Randy Marion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram will be happy to help out. The Wrangler Sahara Many call the Sahara the "road trip" model in the Wrangler family. It, of course, has the off-road, rugged features you'd expect from a Wrangler. However, it adds some creature comforts that some say make it right for long stretches on paved roads (when you're forced to stick to those). But first, let's assure you that it is an off-road-ready vehicle, and its Command-Trac 4x4 System is a testament to that. This is a part-time, shift-on-the-fly system that helps manage traction in low-speed situations. It divides torque equally between the front and rear axles, providing seamless transitions at speeds up to 45 mph. The Sahara boasts some epic style details, too, like polished aluminum wheels and painted Granite Crystal spokes. Pair those with the Silver Metallic grille accents, and what you get is an SUV that somehow looks like it's both from the future and the old Wild West at the same time. Skid plates add to the rugged appeal, and of course, add off-road functionality as they protect important components from scratches and dings. A leather-wrapped steering wheel not only looks nice but is also soft to the touch for long drives. Then there's the soft-wrapped console lid and armrests, that provide you and a co-pilot a comfortable place to rest your elbows while you map out your next adventure. Smartphone compatibility makes it easy to connect your Apple or Android phone to the Uconnect touchscreen, control your playlists, and view navigation from there. The Sahara is a nice blend of interior comfort and exterior toughness. It's almost like it was designed for long treks through the region for which it's named. The Wrangler High Altitude If you're wondering what the most luxurious trim of the Wrangler is, that would be the High Altitude. The High Altitude blends urban sophistication with the rugged Wrangler handling you desire. Bumpers, fender flares, and the Freedom Top three-piece modular hardtop are all body color here, giving the High Altitude a slick, city-ready aesthetic. Its wide-track axles give it a bold stance that's also functional on tough terrain. The premium LED light group also improves visibility in low-light settings—whether you're under the stars in the wild or just dealing with smog in the city. It's on the inside, though, where the High Altitude really shines. That's where you're going to find premium Nappa leather-trimmed seats that you'll just want to live in. If you only like things to be rugged outside of your vehicle but demand the finer things inside of it, these Nappa seats should satisfy your needs. Meanwhile, an 8.4-inch full-color touchscreen is great for displaying directions to that remote off-road trail…or that next appointment in the city. Speaking of directions, Uconnect with 4C Nav comes standard on this trim. This gets you turn-by-turn directions, points of interest (looking for a great coffee spot en route? How about a secret waterfall?), and a map view if you want a bigger picture look at where you're headed. Furthermore, a 7-inch driver information display shows you important vehicle and journey stats that help you know how your vehicle is doing when you need to stop to attend to it, and more. The Wrangler Rubicon Last but certainly not least is the Rubicon. The Rubicon is the ultimate off-road SUV. It's the off-road trim of an already designated off-road vehicle, so you can imagine the perks hiding in this model. Luckily, you don't have to just imagine them because we have this model and would love to show it to you. Serious trail explorers will be thrilled if they find a Rubicon with the available factory-installed auxiliary switch bank, which lets you attach up to four accessories that you can control via your dash. So, what are some fun ways to use that? For starters, you can wire lighting to it, meaning you can attach a light bar on top of your Wrangler or auxiliary lighting on the front bumper. A bolted-on front-passenger grab handle is ready to let you steady yourself when you go flying over mounds of dirt and sand. The ultra-strong steel bumpers will also protect your undercarriage when you hit rough patches. Plus, they are winch-compatible, in case you'd like to pull a buddy out of a sticky situation. It even has removable end caps to help you get through narrow paths. Then, there's the front sway bar disconnect system. Press a button, and that sway bar will disconnect, letting that front axle float and enabling your tires to keep better traction with the ground even when things get bumpy. We haven't even touched on style details yet. These include perks like anodized mid-dash panels and red accent stitching on leather-trimmed seats. The inside of the Rubicon makes quite a statement and will set the mood for your greatest adventures. You've never seen something so beautiful and beastly before.

Three High-Speed Highlights of the 2023 Dodge Charger

The Dodge Charger is one of the forerunners of the muscle car segment, delivering the sort of high-speed thrills and sporty styling that have made the sedan a true automotive icon. While a vehicle like the Charger could probably coast on its reputation alone, Dodge has worked to continually reinvent the muscle car for the modern market, incorporating new features, leveraging emerging technology, and responding to consumer demands to keep the Charger at the top of its segment. more The newest iteration in the forthcoming 2025 Charger is one of the most game-changing to date, with Dodge redesigning the muscle car from the ground up without losing sight of the attributes that have brought it so much success in the past. This includes an all-new, all-electric version dubbed the Charger Daytona, which promises no shortage of thrills with up to 670 hp and a zero-to-60-mph time of just 3.3 seconds. It’s a heck of a way to welcome the Charger back to our lineup here at Randy Marion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, your premier Dodge dealer, after a 12-month absence that saw Dodge skip the 2024 model year. The Charger might not have taken that long of a hiatus, but it’ll be a hot commodity when it returns to the streets in 2025. This anticipation, along with the consumer excitement that tends to come with the release of a new generation, is sure to create a lot of demand for the new eighth-gen Charger at your local Dodge dealer. Those who don’t want to pay a premium for getting behind the wheel of the all-new model should consider the 2023 Dodge Charger. The last version of the seventh-gen Charger boasts a number of advantages for drivers who are looking to experience the muscle car lifestyle, especially when you take a peek under the hood. The 2023 Charger was the last to feature the legendary HEMI V8 that’s graced some of the most thrilling Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and Ram models in recent memory. There’s certainly nothing wrong with the 2025 Charger’s 550 twin-turbo inline-six, but for performance-minded purists, there’s simply no substitute for a good HEMI. Join us as we review three highlights of the 2023 model and see how the Charger is keeping the muscle car relevant in a rapidly changing market. HEMI Power on Tap A powerful engine lies at the heart of any muscle car worthy of the title, and the 2023 Dodge Charger is no exception. The SXT and GT trims might lack the traditional HEMI V8, but the 3.6-liter V6 is a satisfying substitute with the ability to churn out 300 hp and 264 lb-ft of torque. That setup allows the Charger’s entry-level trims to offer a zero-to-60-mph time of 6.4 seconds and a top speed of 132 mph that, if not for the presence of a built-in governor, could probably be a little higher. The V6 isn’t just the most efficient Charger on offer at 19 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway, it also benefits from the same eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive setup you’ll find on the HEMI-powered Charger. This means that, pure horsepower and torque aside, all drivers will be able to enjoy the same potent powertrain no matter their budget. But there’s no substitute for a HEMI. Drivers who want to unleash the Charger’s full potential should take a closer look at the R/T trim, which comes standard with a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 that can put out 370 hp and 395 lb-ft of torque without breaking a sweat. The Charger Scat Pack and Scat Pack Widebody trims add a little extra displacement with a 6.4-liter HEMI that, thanks to 485 hp and 475 lb-ft of torque, can hit 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds. While this sort of performance is the obvious selling point of the HEMI engine, Dodge has also balanced out that raw power with a handy Fuel Saver Technology feature that sees both the 5.7- and 6.4-liter engines offer some impressive efficiency despite their eight-cylinder setup. The 5.7-liter offers an EPA-estimated fuel economy rating of 16 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway, while the 6.4-liter isn’t far behind at 15 MPG in the city and 24 MPG on the highway. If the 6.2-liter HEMI V-8 isn’t enough to get your blood pumping, a little forced induction might change your outlook. The Charger’s trim-topping SRT Hellcat, SRT Hellcat Redeye, and SRT Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak are three no-holds-barred high-performance machines that pair the 6.2-liter HEMI with a supercharger to squeeze every last pony out of the iconic engine. The Charger SRT Hellcat makes do with “just” 717 hp, but the High-Output variant found under the hood of the SRT Hellcat Redeye and SRT Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak up that number to 797 and 807 hp respectively. Add in 707 lb-ft of torque, and you’ll be able to rocket from zero to 60 mph in a scant 3.5 seconds Dodge Performance Pages There’s no question that the Dodge Charger was created with closed tracks in mind. When a vehicle is capable of the sort of muscle car antics that the Charger can pull off, it’s a shame to confine it to roads where pesky things like speed limits can get in the way of unleashing its true potential. The 2023 Charger comes with a generous suite of track-focused apps that allow drivers to log relevant metrics and take full advantage of the car’s brawny powertrain. It all starts with Dodge Performance Pages, a one-stop shop where you can monitor and record real-time performance data. Accessed through the Charger’s dash-mounted Uconnect infotainment system, Dodge Performance Pages can track everything from horsepower and boost pressure to intake air temperature, air/fuel ratio, intercooler temperature, transmission oil temperature and more. Navigate to the G-Force tab and you’ll be able to easily monitor lateral/longitudinal G-Force, peak G-Force and even steering angle. Finally there’s the timer page where drivers can browse their best zero-to-60/100-mph times, 1/8- and 1/4-mile times with mpg, braking distance and braking speed. Dodge Performance Pages also serve as the command center for performance-enhancing apps like Launch Control and Line Lock. Launch Control has made its way onto an increasing number of models in recent years and is a particularly good pairing for today’s torque-rich EVs. This feature takes all the guesswork out of getting a good start off the line, tweaking the Charger’s throttle response to maximize acceleration and get you up to speed in the blink of an eye, but the 2023 Charger does the standard Launch Control feature one better with the addition of Line Lock. When activated, Line Lock allows the Charger’s front brakes to lock up while keeping the rear brakes wide open. This is the perfect recipe for a little burnout which, in addition to looking cool, also helps the rear wheels warm up for the ideal amount of race-ready traction. Eight Distinct Trims With eight trims to choose from, there’s a 2023 Charger out there to fit every driver and every budget. It all kicks off with the base model in the SXT, but there’s nothing basic about this sporty trim. Packed with the 300-horsepower V6, TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission, and a touring suspension that elevates the everyday driving experience, the SXT also looks every bit the muscle car with 17-inch cast aluminum wheels, a gloss black grille, and houndstooth cloth sport seats. The SXT’s interior punches well above its low starting price with eight-way power driver’s seat with two-way power lumbar, six premium Alpine speakers with a 276-watt amplifier, a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob and a generous suite of advanced safety and security tech like ParkSense rear park assist, a keyless entry system with push-button start and the Sentry Key theft deterrent system. The GT trim ups the ante with a performance-focused suspension, three-mode electronic stability control, and a functional hood scoop that keeps the V6 supplied with a steady stream of cool, fresh air. A performance grille, rear body-colored spoiler, and 20-inch Satin Carbon wheels add a little sportiness to the setup, while features like an automatic-dimming rearview mirror and Dodge Performance Pages allow drivers to enjoy the latest automotive tech. The R/T trim is where the first HEMI enters the picture, but you can’t discount the trim’s high-speed engine controller and active exhaust system. The R/T also gains 20-inch machined wheels with Granite-colored pockets and a leather-wrapped performance steering wheel with paddle shifters that give drivers a little more control over the eight-speed transmission. The Scat Pack and Scat Pack Widebody trims are where the Charger really starts to flex its muscles. To contain all the power that the 6.4-liter HEMI V8 can produce, Dodge has outfitted the trims with four-piston Brembo brakes, a severe-duty cooling system, an anti-spin rear differential and more. These versions of the Charger are also treated to the Line Lock and Launch Assist features and set itself apart from the pack with 20-inch low-gloss Granite Crystal Wheels, black brake calipers, and projector LED fog lamps. As the name implies, the Scat Pack Widebody stretches out the Charger by 3.5 inches while also adding a Bilstein adaptive damping suspension with customizable ride stiffness settings, all-speed traction control, integrated fender flares, a performance fascia and two extra pistons for the Brembo brakes. The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye (Widebody and Jailbreak versions) isn't just the fastest Charger on offer; it was also the most powerful and fastest mass-produced four-door muscle car when it hit the market in 2023. The 6.2-liter supercharged SRT HEMI V8 gets all the credit for that particular achievement, but Dodge has paired it with a well-rounded package that includes Pirelli P Zero tires, an SRT performance spoiler, and a single-scoop SRT hood with air intake. The posh interior fits the premium trim to a T with Dodge producing a luxurious interior complete with ventilated front seats, Laguna leather seat trim, door trim panel and a premium-stitched dash panel, heated rear seats, aluminum interior accents, an SRT leather steering wheel with red LED logo and advanced SRT multistage front airbags. The range-topping SRT Hellcat Widebody Jailbreak’s most noteworthy addition is obviously the 807-horsepower version of the supercharged HEMI V8, but Dodge has also thrown in 20-inch lightweight low-gloss black wheels, a 220 mph speedometer and an SRT power chiller that’ll keep everything nice a cool. Satisfy Your Need for Speed Behind the Wheel of a Dodge Charger The Dodge Charger might not have created the muscle car segment, but it just might have perfected it. Dodge is always pushing the envelope when it comes to automotive engineering and design, producing some of the fastest and most eye-catching models the industry has ever seen. The Charger, along with its two-door sibling in the Dodge Challenger, has been turning heads for over 50 years, whether it be on the banked tracks of North Wilkesboro Speedway, rush hour traffic, or a classic car show. You can’t discuss the Charger’s history without factoring in the HEMI V8. The muscle car and its equally muscular engine are a match made in automotive heaven, offering drivers a surplus of power that provides edge-of-your-seat excitement every time you step on the gas pedal. The introduction of the new, eighth-generation Charger might mean the end of the HEMI, but drivers should be more than satisfied with its replacement in the new Hurricane twin-turbo inline-six, not to mention the muscle car’s all-electric evolution in the Charger Daytona. If you’re looking to learn more about any of these models or experience the Charger legend firsthand, make tracks for Randy Marion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram today.

What Makes the 2024 Jeep Gladiator the Ultimate Pickup for Outdoor Enthusiasts?

All right adventurers, explorers, and all those who crave to break as far away from the grid as possible. You know you need more than just an off-road vehicle and not just a great truck; you need an excellent off-road truck to power your lifestyle. You need a model that can get where you are going confidently, whether you are tackling sand dunes, boulder-littered paths, or muddy terrain. However, you also need a pickup bed because a lot of the adventure gear that makes your outings even more fun and allows you to stay longer requires more cargo space than an SUV can offer. If you are relating to this, then we hope you come in to check out a Jeep Gladiator for sale. It combines all of the rugged abilities you know and love of a Jeep with the towing powers and possibilities of a pickup. more Today, we are going to go over some standout features of the 2024 Jeep Gladiator that do two important things: first, they ensure you get where you're going no matter how ambitious your travel plans may be, and then ensure you have a great time once you get there. Let's start exploring this excellent off-road truck below. Access to Thousands of Trail Guides On your massive 12.3-inch touchscreen you can access a super fun feature: Segment-Exclusive Integrated Off-Road Adventure Guides. You will need a little backstory to understand the beauty of these guides. First, you need to know there is a famous network of off-road trails around the country that have been designated by off-road enthusiasts as some of the best ones to explore, and they have earned the badge of honor for off-road fun and excellence. They pass stringent tests for difficulty and scenery to earn the legendary status of the Jeep Badge of Honor. As of today, 68 such trails have earned this badge across the country. When you open the Off-Road Adventure Guides on your touchscreen, you will pull up useful information about each of these trails, such as difficulty level, highlights, points of interest, and obstacles to look out for. Don't worry if you are far from one of the 68 trails because the guides include over 200 additional off-road destinations across the country. You will feel like part of a secret club when you access these guides. By the way, if you want access to even more trail guides, you can subscribe to an annual subscription that gets you access to the full catalog of over 3,000 trail guides. The Desert-Ready Mojave Trim for Smooth Sand Excursions Now let's talk about the Mojave. We were so excited when Jeep released this model, which is the only officially designated desert-rated off-road vehicle. The desert badge is an extension of the trail-rated badge, which tests vehicles for their ability to do things like ford through water, crawl over boulders, climb steep slopes, and other common activities you have to do in off-road environments. The Mojave takes those things a step further and is designed specifically for sand. It includes all the capabilities of the trail-rated designation but adds things like a desert-tuned suspension for optimal control and comfort, exceptional traction on this famously tricky type of terrain, maximized ground clearance to get you over hills of sand, amazing maneuverability, even on slippery dune hills, and an incredible durability that can handle the relentless environment of the desert. A Variety of Cameras to Keep You in Command You're going to love having a comprehensive look at what's happening around your truck with the trail cam off-road camera. It contains a forward-facing off-road camera that sends its footage to your touchscreen. This can help you be aware of obstacles ahead on your trail so you can make informed decisions in advance. That's not the only great camera you get. You also get a ParkView rear backup camera that shows dynamic gridlines and an X4 trailer hitch zoom, so you can get a closer view of your hitch when trying to line it up with your vessel or just have extra awareness when reversing in your Gladiator. Covered Rear Seat Lockable Storage If you are a true Jeep enthusiast, you probably go where a few other humans go. Still, you would probably like to protect your valuables when you head off on an all-day hike or an afternoon swim in a lake. So you will like the lockable seat storage in the Gladiator. Beneath the rear seats, you will find a removable and lockable storage bin so you can hide your items when you are not with your truck. If you need them for your adventures, you can take the entire bin out for easy transportation. A Removable Speaker for Portable Vibes Here is a fun one: an available factory-installed removable speaker. With wireless connectivity, this speaker can sync up to your smartphone and come along for the fun. So walk it out to the side of the lake or along on a hike. The best part is that because it connects to your vehicle, its battery recharges while you drive. Then when you get out, you'll like knowing that it has a weatherproof exterior that is both dust resistant and can stand being submerged in water up to three feet for 30 minutes. So if you try to toss it to a friend at the edge of a waterfall and they happen to drop it, you'll be able to reclaim your speaker in working condition. Adventure Awaits Behind the Wheel of the Jeep Gladiator Is adventure calling your name? Don't settle for anything less than the Jeep Gladiator. It's the only pickup truck designed specifically for off-road adventures in mind and is loaded with features that will help you say yes to the toughest terrain with total confidence. We only covered some of the treats you'll find in a 2024 Gladiator today and did not even touch on the variety of trims. The base trim of the 2024 Gladiator is an off-road superstar, but there are some incredible upper trims to explore that will blow you away with their rugged abilities like the Rubicon and Rubicon X. When it has to be the best in offloading features, it simply has to be a Jeep. And if you need a truck bed, the Gladiator is just the model. Our friendly team knows all about every cool feature hidden inside each Gladiator trim. So come, tell us what sort of thrilling excursions you have planned and we will put you behind the wheel of a Gladiator that is up for the challenge. We're always rolling inventory onto our lot and are happy to work with your budget to get you a loan package that fits your needs.

If life on paved roads simply doesn't satisfy your thirst for fun, a Jeep Gladiator is your ticket to freedom. Come test drive one today at Randy Marion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram and see how this rugged pickup is ready for adventure off the pavement.

What's New for the 2024 Jeep Wrangler?

The Wrangler is an icon that is deeply connected to history, which can be traced all the way back to World War II. Walking around a Jeep dealer like ours here at Randy Marion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, you might look at new or used models and find they have a lot in common, from their shape to their seven-slot grille. But looks can be deceiving, and the Wrangler has been evolving under the surface, gaining new features that make it more comfortable, convenient, and even more off-road capable. more For the 2024 model year, the Wrangler is getting an extensive redesign with new trims, tech, and equipment. With changes ranging from aesthetics to infotainment to capability, there's a lot to keep in mind if you're deciding whether to spring for a new Wrangler. But don't worry—we're here to help. Let's dive in and see what's changing for the Wrangler and what it means for you as a driver. A New Design The Wrangler's iconic look isn't going away any time soon, but that doesn't mean there's no room for refinement. For instance, the face still sports a seven-slot grille, but the slats are noticeably slimmer, giving the front end a fresh look. The new shape might also have something to do with a new available accessory: a Warn Winch with an 8,000 lb capacity. The smaller shape makes it easier to properly fit this useful piece of equipment. There are also ten new wheel designs spread out over the various trim levels, making for a more unique lineup of Wrangler aesthetics. New paint colors let you customize even more, with Anvil Gray and Bikini Teal joining the list of options. Other design changes go beyond looks. For instance, the radio antenna is now integrated into the windshield instead of sticking up past the roof line. While this does give the Wrangler a cleaner appearance, it's also a practical change that prevents the antenna from getting snagged on tree branches during off-road excursions. Inside the cabin, there's a new option for those looking for a more luxurious experience: available 12-way power-adjustable heated front seats. While this feature may not be hard to find in cars generally, there's a reason why it's been slow to come to the Wrangler. Jeep has had to design a system that can survive being submerged in water since the Wrangler offers water fording of up to 34 inches. These comfy seats have been tested, and they're ready to handle the elements. Updated Tech The Wrangler's infotainment system has been upgraded to the latest version of its software: Uconnect 5. It's faster to respond and loaded with new features, including a new Trails Offroad app that provides navigation for off-road trails. This app comes loaded with 62 Jeep Badge of Honor trails, but if you subscribe to the service, you can get access to the full catalog, which features over 3,000 trails. In addition to directions and waypoints, you'll also get to learn about the history of these trails. You can even store custom points, so if you blaze your own trail, you'll be able to find it again in the future. Whether you're looking at trail maps or camera views, it'll be easy to see what you're doing. While the 2023 Wrangler offered either a 7- or 8.4-inch touchscreen, the 2024 model comes standard with a large 12.3-inch display. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity are standard, too, so you can hook your smartphone up to the interface even if your charging cord gets lost or damaged. When you're making phone calls, you'll notice it's a lot easier to hear and be heard, thanks to the more robust noise cancellation and an array of microphones added to the cabin. If you opt for the 4xe hybrid powertrain, there's another new tech feature to keep an eye out for. The new Power Box, which is available on select 4xe trims, provides you with four 120-volt outlets that you can use to power electronics. Whether you use rechargeable lanterns to light up your campsite or want to be able to charge your phone during a power outage at home, the system can come in handy. Enhanced Safety Whether you're navigating a rough trail or zooming down the freeway, safety is important. The new Wrangler now offers side curtain airbags as standard fare across the lineup, providing more coverage in case of an accident. Forward Collision Warning is now standard on the Sport S trim and above, helping you to avoid accidents in the first place. Adaptive Cruise Control is also standard on the Sport S trim and up, so you can save your energy during longer drives and stay sharp. New Trims The 2024 trim lineup isn't too different from the 2023 lineup, so it won't confuse drivers already familiar with the Wrangler. But there are a few new additions that give you more options to choose from. The Sport S 4xe makes the hybrid powertrain more accessible for drivers on a budget. The Wrangler 4xe is already the country's best-selling hybrid, and this new trim has the potential to make it even more popular. The hybrid powertrain has a lot of advantages, beyond just a fuel economy of 49 MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent). Its electric motors provide more low-end torque, which comes in handy off-road, and it has a 21-mile all-electric range, which lets you drive in near silence when arriving at a campsite late at night, leaving early in the morning, or trying to view wildlife without scaring it off. While the Sport S 4xe is at the lower end of the trim ladder, the new Rubicon X trim is up at the top. This trim, available with either a traditional or hybrid powertrain, takes the legendary Rubicon to the next level with extra standard goodies. You'll get larger 35-inch tires, an integrated off-road camera, strong steel bumpers, and a full-time transfer case instead of a part-time one. But don't think the regular Rubicon trim has been left behind. It's also getting an exciting new feature for the 2024 model. While last year's Rubicon had a Dana semi-float rear axle, this year's has a full-float model that distributes weight better, allowing the Wrangler to up its towing capacity to 5,000 lbs. Some Powertrains Say Goodbye Since the 4xe powertrain is doing a great job filling the role of the fuel-efficient option, it makes sense that Jeep is dropping the diesel option for the 2024 model year. Not only does the hybrid offer better fuel economy, but it also delivers more horsepower and torque than the turbodiesel engine that was available on the 2023 Wrangler. The HEMI V8 powertrain is still around this year, but it's making its farewell tour. In addition to the regular Wrangler Rubicon 392, there's also a Rubicon 392 Final Edition, which offers exclusive special touches. While some will be sad to see the end of the V8 era, others are excited to see what will come next, whether it's an electrified option, a turbo V6 that provides massive power more efficiently, or both offerings available side-by-side so every driver can get what they're looking for. The Wrangler Moves Forward Without Forgetting Its Roots The new Wrangler may have a bigger screen and more available luxuries than its predecessors, but it's still the same go-anywhere vehicle at heart. Many of the changes being made for this refresh, like the stealth antenna and Trails Offroad app, are designed with off-road adventures in mind. The 2024 Wrangler gives drivers more options, tech, and capability. It's a big step forward, and we're sure it's going to make a big splash with Jeep fans of all stripes.
