JEEP WRANGLER 2016

Call it the Tale of Two Wranglers.  Jeep Wrangler owners are all over the map and I'm not talking about off-roading adventures.  The guys and gals at Waxahachie Dodge Chrysler Jeep will inform you that many of the Wrangler's title holders don't even get the Wrangler dirty.  They just dress the jeep up will all kinds of aftermarket equipment.  Some even take the fenders off just to have the Wrangler look even more like a “Brute”.  Yes Sir, you see them driving around town with huge tires, lift kits,  chrome wheels, extra head lights, winches and much more which will dramatically and noticeably affect the Jeep Wrangler's appearance, but it will never leave a highway.  Then if there is a chance of in climate weather,   the shiny Wrangler sets in the garage under wraps. 

If you own a Wrangler or Wranglers, it is a “love fest” and a strong community as you see them give the friendly wave as they pass each other on the road.  The classic look of this Jeep makes its' competitors all look the same.  As mentioned before, you can use the Wrangler just running errands, going to the golf course or make that short trip off the pavement and hit the dirt.

The Jeep Wrangler's off road capabilities go beyond its well-known 4 WD system. It has the tall ride height to keep it clear of obstacles and to make steeply angled transitions as it was designed for and used for many decades.  The Wrangler has durable axles,   tunable shock absorbers and locking differentials, just to point out a few musts you need off-road.   Jeep owners will have the choice between a manual and a smooth automatic transmission.

Visit http://www.waxahachiedodgechryslerjeep.com to schedule a visit to demonstrate the Wrangler's off-road capabilities with a test drive.  They really don't care if you desire the Wrangler for everyday driving or mudding it up in the boonies as they just want you to be happy. 

The interior of the Jeep stays true to its adventurous roots with drain plugs for washing the floors and even a locking center console when you have the top down.  Yes, it can be a convertible.  Besides the very comfortable and sturdy seats, you have all the up to date technology at your fingertips.  The famous Uconnect system is there which delivers information, music, important navigation, satellite and more.  Uconnect really keeps the driver in sync with the technological pace in today's world.

In front is one of the best engines around in the form of a 3.6-liter V6 that can deliver 285 horses.  The other great item is the 260lb-ft of torque that will power the Wrangler just about around and over anything in its path.  It has the package and styling you need for off-roading or just going to your favorite restaurant with your better half. 

Just ask a Wrangler owner and they will tell you that they love this machine.  Wrangler owners always come back for another one.  So what are you waiting for?  It is a deal all the way around and fun times are just ahead in this New Year in a new Jeep Wrangler.

Dodge Charger stands the Test of Time

The new redesigned Dodge Charger is a runaway success as it was in the sixties.  I know that because I owned one.  It was a 1968 orange and black Charger R/T (road & track).  This model was equipped with the high performance 440 cubic inch engine, dual exhausts and even extra wide tires and some new safety features.  The wrap around "bumble bee" stripes were awesome and it had room for five adults. Dodge sold many more than they had expected, just like what is happening today.  As they say, "they flew off the shelves". 

Today's Dodge Charger is even better, as they have a Charger for all different tastes in the horsepower category for the full size sedan.  This new 2015 Charger has new front and rear styling that gives it a cool sleeker   appearance.  It is a head turner just like its predecessor in the middle and late sixties.   The choices in the different Charger models will fit everyone's appetite and desires with this full sized sedan.  

 

If you want to stick with the standard V6 equipped Charger, don't worry about the acceleration factor as it will take you past that 18 wheeler like it was standing still; it is very quick and brisk.  But what got my attention was the choice of the V8's in the other models.  The least potent engine still produced 370-hp, getting close to my old Charger's performance.  Now crank up your expectations of engine performance and look at the new Charger R//T Scat Pack. Believe me the word "Scat" means what it says and it is my choice of Chargers.  This vehicle comes with 485-hp and thanks to the new Dodge eight speed transmission it gives you 25mpg on the highway.  

I also drove the Dodge Charger Hell Cat at Waxahachie Dodge Chrysler Jeep with its 707 hp  Super Charged V8.  When we took it for a test drive it was unbelievable and really is the top of the line in today's muscle cars.  Nothing around can compare with all the Hell Cat has in high performance systems.  My wife said I acted like I was a 20 year old kid in this beast! 

However, I went back to my first love and settled down in the comfortable seats of the Dodge Charger R/T Scat Pack.  What this car has in performance is enough for me.  The R/T delivers that quick acceleration I want combined with a family friendly interior space, rear wheel drive and the Scat Pack trim package that brings me that 6.4-liter V/8, an air intake hood, high performance brakes, unique 20-inch alloy wheels, ventilated front seats and more. We were very satisfied as was my "decision maker" wife.  She just loves its big comfortable ride, classy looks and the array of sophisticated technology on tap.  I also took her advice in getting the forward collision warning option.  I wonder what she was telling me.
