This is a picture of someone going off roading with their truck.  Do you have a craving to go off-roading with your tuck.  Maybe you like to go mudding or maybe you just the feeling of knowing that you can go over rough terrain with your truck.  Whatever your reason for go off-roading, you should seriously consider a Jeep.  I mean Jeeps are made to go off-road.  The ultimate Jeep to go off-road is the jeep Wrangler.  Look at one of these Wrangler's and you will not regret it. Go back to Dodge HQ.

The Wrangler has a special edition model for 2013…and it is making some strong impressions in auto industry. The Moab Edition was designed for off-road zealots who want a turnkey rig that can tame the famed trails of Moab and beyond. Its amped-up capability and concentrated dose of creature comforts are a winning combination. This model is so impressive that the off-roading experts at Petersen’s 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine named the Jeep Wrangler Moab Edition the coveted ”4×4 of the Year” for 2013.

We recently took the Wrangler Moab on some off road adventures around the country. Our trip started in NC when we visited Raleigh’s top car dealer, Sport Durst Auto. There we were able to check out the Wrangler for the first time. The sculpted Mopar power-dome hood gives a hint to the Pentastar V6 that powers this rig. Configured for off-roading, the V6 engine features a revised throttle body; high-mounted, rear-facing alternator; serpentine belt that stays clear of mud and water, and unique exhaust. It boasts 260 lb-ft of torque for the low-end grunt needed while off-roading. Anchored behind the Black fender flares are custom low-gloss black decals.

Stepping inside the Moab Edition we found it is filled with character, comfort and distinction. The new Black leather, heated seats with Black stitching include a new bolster design and improved foam for enhanced comfort. A Dark Saddle leather-trim seat with Black stitching is optional. Custom Black stitching on the front door armrest and floor console add a touch of civility while tackling the trails. But what is most impressive about this vehicle is its unmatched capability. While cabin comfort and exterior design are important, we all know what off roading fans care about most, capability. After our trail ride we sat down to chat with the experts at the NC Jeep dealership, Sport Durst DCJ.  They explained that the Moab is the vehicle off road fans in the area have been looking for. Jeep has scored a winner here without a doubt.

Dodge rolled out the Dodge Dart earlier this year as a brand new model. It is not only stylish, powerful, but also affordable.The Dart competes directly with the Subaru Impreza.

2013 Dodge Dart

The 2013 Dodge Dart expresses an impressive level of visual drama. Clean lines from nose to tail form its curvaceous silhouette. The unmistakable split crosshair grille accentuates its low, wide stance. And the available full-width racetrack style LED taillamps make an aggressive statement.

The Dodge Dart redefines performance by pairing the widest range of gasoline engines in its class with the most advanced line of transmissions in its class. Choose from a 2.0L 16-valve Tigershark four-cylinder engine, a 1.4L 16-valve intercooled Turbo with MultiAir, or a 16-valve 2.4L Tigershark MultiAir II four-cylinder engine. Advanced technology – combined with hundreds of hours of development time in our wind tunnel – helped Dodge Dart achieve its world-class aerodynamic performance.  Would you like to take a test drive of this new model, the Dart is available at Dodge dealerships around the nation, including Ken Garff West Valley of Utah.

2013 Subaru Impreza

The new Impreza is the most dashing, stylish car Subaru has ever dared produce. Given Subaru’s conservative, don’t-rush-me tradition, this Impreza is, in its own way, revolutionary. Subaru fully intends the new Impreza to continue to appeal to its traditional buyers on the basis of its sturdy, capable all-weather characteristics. But at the same time, Subaru hopes the new car will reach out to brand-new buyers with its well-styled looks. Do you have questions about how the Impreza compares to the Dart? Give a call to a nearby dealership, such as Reedman Auto of PA, they are standing by to answer your questions.

The Impreza has an aggressive cabin shape, besides looking great, allows Subaru designers to achieve startling improvements in interior space and efficiency.  Impreza’s 148 horsepower and 145 pound-feet of torque sound minimal, but its 165-pound weight decrease over the previous model really helps performance, and the new 2013 Impreza with a CVT can accelerate more quickly than the previous-generation version.  Are you ready to take a test drive in this model? Just contact your local Subaru dealer, such as Philadlephia’s Reedman Subaru dealer, and they will be happy to schedule an appointment with you.

The Chrysler Group has rolled out many of its models for 2013, and its lineup of cars, trucks, and vans, and SUVs is impressive.  Two top vehicles that can be found at your local Dodge Chrysler Jeep dealership include the Chrysler 300 and the brand new Dodge Dart.

2013 Chrysler 300

Design with purpose lights the way in the 2013 Chrysler 300. The jeweled C-shaped LEDs give the Chrysler 300 a distinctive, confident look, previously only seen in European luxury cars. Available Bi-Xenon HID headlamps also provide a confident look at the road ahead, producing three times more light than halogen headlamps.

The headlights are also part of our available Adaptive Forward Lighting (AFL) system. This technology automatically turns the headlamps in the direction you’re steering, giving you improved nighttime driving visibility. It also computes your speed and steering wheel angle to determine headlamp projection — straight ahead, 7 inches inward, and 18 inches outward. For better visibility on sloping paths, the AFL system incorporates an automatic leveling feature, which aligns your vehicle-to-road pitch. Dealerships around the nation, including Ken Garff West Valley of UT to Feeny Autos of Chicago, currently have a full stock of the 300. Want to learn more?

As the most technologically advanced car in its class, the Dodge Dart includes a number of available class-exclusive features, including seating, dual temperature control, and a 7-inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT) premium cluster display. If you are interested in test driving this model, just contact your local Dodge dealership. You can find the 2013 Dodge Dart in Chicago, Salt Lake City, and other major cities around the country.

The movie Total Recall came into movie theater’s across the country last Friday August 3rd.  However, did you know that the car that Collin Farrell gets to drive is a Chrysler 200 Convertible.  Well Chrysler engineers did some re-tuning of the car to make the car look like it belongs in the year 2084, the time period in which the movie is.  Even though it was re-tooled to look like a car from that year, the car is a Chrysler 200 Convertible when everything is boiled down.  Can you think of another movie that a Chrysler car or one of its brands has been in.  I’ll m give you a hint, it’s a big budget movie that has had five parts so far.  Can’t guess?  Ok, the Rock and Vin Diesel carried the bank vaults around the streets of Rio de Janiero in the movie Fast Five in their Dodge Chargers.

For those owners of Chrysler and Dodge hybrid vehicles, and even for future owners, it is important to know what to do with your vehicle’s batteries once they are no longer being used. The Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango Hybrid vehicles contain a High Voltage 300 Volt NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) battery. Before recycling batteries, always refer to the owners manual and understand the applicable federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations governing the recycling, handling, and shipping of such batteries and materials. This is important because under law such batteries can under certain circumstances be deemed waste or dangerous goods.

NiMH batteries contain several components, including nickel, copper and steel, each of which has value as recycled materials. The best option is likely to go to a certified dealership that is trained in the removal and recycling of these batteries. As the batteries weigh about 150 pounds, it is important that you have appropriate equipment and personnel available when removing the battery from the vehicle. Dealers should always follow the Service Information Procedures for proper disconnecting, removing, storing and handling, and, if necessary, disposal of the NiMH battery packs.
