The third generation of the Dodge Durango will soon be coming to an end. Dodge will usher in a new era with the 2021 models by showcasing a new body-on-frame architecture, among many other changes. The primary reason for this is that FCA—the parent company of the Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee—doesn’t want the two SUVs to be rivals anymore. That being said, there is much to like about the latest Durango. And for fans of this generation of models using the unibody platform, which is in its 9th year, buyers can enjoy the current body style and take advantage of all the updates and upgrades that Dodge has to throw at it. In essence, the 2019 Durango looks and acts like a muscle car turned SUV, but it still accommodates the family. If you’re in the market for a new midsize SUV, the 2019 Durango should be considered for your short list. Overview of Specs Perhaps what makes the new Durango most unique is that it’s a midsize sport utility vehicle that provides drivers with the capabilities of a larger SUV while handling more like a compact SUV. In a class of numerous competitors, this aspect is as much impressive as it is welcome. Though it still holds on to the overall body style of its preceding models, the 2019 Durango sports a slightly more aggressive look on the exterior. As with the handling experience, the interior offers features and a layout not unlike those you would find in a smaller SUV. It feels modern and comfortable inside, and with three rows and plenty of room, it makes it the perfect family vehicle. The base model of the new Durango, which starts at an MSRP of $29,995, includes a 3.6-liter V6 at 293 horsepower and 260 foot-pounds of torque. This, along with a standard rear-wheel drive, renders a fuel efficiency of 19 miles per gallon around town and 26 MPG on the highway, which is what can be expected for this type of engine. Drivers can opt for a V8 engine if they want more power, as well as an all-wheel-drive add-on, both of which have their perks though they drive the fuel efficiency down a bit. The SXT Here are some of the other primary features offered on the SXT, which is the base model of the 2019 Durango: 4 doors 5 to 7 passengers 8-speed automatic transmission 48 to 65 cubic feet of cargo space Keyless entry Power windows Rear defrost 18-inch alloy wheels, all-season tires Climate control, dual zone and rear-control A/C Wireless device hookup Hands-free communication system 7-inch touchscreen Rearview camera 4-wheel ABS and 4-wheel disc brakes Airbags at the driver, passenger, front head, front side, and rear head Other Trim Levels There are four other trim levels available that offer various upgrades. The GT is one level above the base model, with the primary differences being rear parking sensors, a garage door control, a leather steering wheel, and a power-operated driver’s seat. The R/T trim offers perhaps the most upgrades for the money: Remote start Powered liftgate 5.7-liter V8 engine Leather upholstery Power-operated passenger seat Heated seats and steering wheel Performance-enhanced steering and suspension 8.4-inch touchscreen Navigation system Alpine stereo system with 9 speakers Going a step further, the Citadel is considered the luxury model of the Durango. Upgrades include chrome side mirror casings, sunroof, and captain seating with a middle console in the second row. If you’re looking for more amenities than the SXT and R/T models offer but want to keep a leaner look, the Citadel may be the choice for you. The SRT is the Durango model you are most likely to see in review photos and magazines. It’s the most performance-focused model, and it reflects in the price at an MSRP of $62,995. Essentially, every mechanical aspect of the all-wheel-drive SRT is performance-tuned, and it also comes with Nappa leather and suede upholstery, air-conditioned front seats, adaptive headlights, and adaptive suspension. The SRT may be the most aggressive midsize SUV in its class. If you’re OK with the price tag and decreased fuel efficiency (13 MPG City/19 MPG Highway), this trim could be the one you find most impressive. How Safe Is It? The new Durango received favorable IIHS safety ratings overall. Crash tests returned good results for roof strength, head restraints, and seats. In particular, the Durango proved adequate in driver and passenger injury measures, as well as driver and passenger head protection. Also, with optional equipment add-ons, it rated superior in front crash prevention. There are many features the Durango SXT provides that help to prevent accidents and protect drivers and passengers in the event of an accident. For instance, it has five airbags strategically placed throughout the vehicle, 4-wheel ABS and 4-wheel disc brakes, and child locks. In addition, each model has traction control, driver-adaptive brake system, electronic stability control, and a rearview camera. Some of the higher trim levels come standard with front and rear parking sensors, and drivers can purchase packages that add more safety features. Here are some of the features you can add: Automatic high beams Adaptive headlights Adaptive cruise control (ACC) Blind spot alert Forward collision warning Rear cross traffic monitor Auto emergency braking (AEB) The bottom line on safety is that any Durango model you choose will be comparable to the others in its class. With safety standards becoming increasingly stringent, Dodge hasn’t overlooked any aspects with the Durango. How’s the Performance? No matter which model you go with, you can expect good performance from your Dodge Durango. There are three different powertrain options available. The SXT and Citadel come standard with the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine (295 HP/260 ft-lb torque), though upgrading the engine in the Citadel is an option. The R/T is stocked with a 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine. By far, the most powerful model is the SRT, which boasts a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 and supplies drivers with 475 HP and 470 ft-lb of torque. Another impressive part of the Durango’s performance is its towing capacity. The 3.6L Pentastar V6 allows drivers to tow up to 6,200 pounds, while the 5.7L HEMI V8 and 6.4L HEMI V8 engines can tow up to 7,400 pounds and 8,700 pounds, respectively. It’s worth noting that the 8,700 pounds towing capacity are considered best in class. When it comes to the driving experience, the new Durango delivers. One of the things that set it apart from other crossovers of its size is that it provides a smooth ride—whether you’re on the highway or trekking through rough terrain. This is one area where the family-friendly quality of the vehicle comes in. Also, the Durango handles like a smaller SUV, making it easier to park and maneuver around corners than its size would suggest. Overall, it accomplishes being both a fun and comfortable ride for people of all ages without compromising safety. Fuel efficiency with the Durango is comparable to others in its class, such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Chevrolet Traverse, Honda Pilot, and Mazda CX-9. The models carrying the 3.6L Pentastar V6 powertrain gives drivers 19 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway; the 5.7L HEMI V8 produces 14/22 MPG, and the 6.7L HEMI V8 produces 13/19 MPG. What’s it Look Like? The exterior of the 2019 Durango is surely one of its most unique characteristics. Dodge hails it as “a masterwork of muscle,” which is a tribute to its appearance as much as its powerful performance capabilities. The SXT and GT models are a clever combination of sporty and graceful, though you can add the SRT-style hood—which has an air inlet in the center—to the GT if you want. As you go up the ranks of the trim levels, the Durango gets more and more muscular. The SRT, in many ways, resembles the iconic Charger, giving drivers a sense that they can go anywhere and be the boss. Furthermore, many of the models have a good bit of chrome along the exterior, which gives the overall appearance an added boost. There are 10 exterior paint colors to choose from for the 2019 Durango: White Knuckle Granite Redline Red Reactor Blue Vice White Billet DB Black Octane Red Destroyer Grey F8 Green What’s Inside? The interior is another factor that makes the new Durango a great vehicle for families. Its roomy cargo space and welcoming cabin make it a truly comfortable vehicle to sit in—whether you’re driving across town or across the country. The entry-level SXT seats five people, but you can add a third row, which opens up space for seven people. Captain chairs in the second row is another option, which means you could have six people in the vehicle. There’s a variety of leather upholstery upgrades available, as well as a heated steering wheel, power-operated front seats, heated seats (front and second row), and air-conditioned front seats. As far as infotainment goes, the Durango has it going on. The core infotainment system is the Uconnect. This connected vehicle platform is built exclusively into Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Ram, and FIAT vehicles, and it has won several awards for its features and efficiency. At the base model, buyers have access to a 7-inch touchscreen, rearview camera, Bluetooth connectivity, USB ports, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto, six-speaker audio system, and voice control features. The upgraded models are even more decked out. You can upgrade to an 8.4-inch screen, built-in navigation, Sirius XM, a BluRay/DVD player for the back seat, and a nine-speaker Alpine or 19-speaker Harman Kardon audio system. One of the most satisfying qualities of the Uconnect system—and also why it beats out many of its competitors—is that it is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. This is largely because it employs a combination of physical controls, smartphone capabilities, and big touch-screen buttons to go along with a painless interface. In other words, people with little to no technology experience should be able to use the infotainment system with no problems.     If you’re looking for a vehicle that suits the entire family while bringing pure muscle and grace to your driving experience, the 2019 Dodge Durango is a perfect choice. All models come loaded with features and appeal that overshines the competition. As safety is always the most important factor when it comes to driving, the Durango has you and your family covered from front to back with safety features to help prevent accidents and protect you should an accident occur. If you’re looking for power in an SUV, the Durango is a total specimen—untouched by the others in its class. Also, it’s one of the smoother and roomier rides you will find. With a variety of exterior colors, from whites and greys to Dodge’s iconic red, chances are there’s at least one that will wow you. Finally, Dodge has outdone themselves with the infotainment features offered in all its Durango models. Muscle, grace, safety, fun—all can be yours with the new Durango. Be sure to pop on over to Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT to see for yourself.

Customer curiosity has been piqued: what is Dodge up to with the Ram line of vehicles? And what does Jeep have going on with its Wrangler this year? Let’s have a look at the Dodge Ram, during Ram Truck Month, and let’s peek at the Jeep Wrangler and see why it’s earned Motortrend’s 2019 SUV of the Year award. Maybe we can find out what all the fuss is about. What does 2019 and beyond promise from Dodge and Jeep? Well, their 2019 models tell us where the Ram and the Wrangler will be heading in the years to come, and we think it’s something special. Mount Airy would love you to come down and test drive one of these beautiful vehicles so you can see for yourself! Ram 3500 Unique Features: First off, the Ram 3500 has stacked up a few accolades already—and it’s not even debuting until Spring! But let’s recap some of its features, and see what Ram has going on: Diesel Towing Capacity: The Ram 3500 has 35,100 pounds of towing capacity with its diesel engine, which means that hitching a trailer or towing another vehicle could not be any easier. And its dynamic centerline display with hookup assist makes the initial hookup super simple. Want Auto-level Rear Air Suspension on your Ram 3500? That’s an available option! Diesel Torque: The first heavy-duty truck to offer 1,000 pounds of torque on its diesel line? That would be Ram 3500. Stack that up against Toyota or Honda or Ford and see if who comes out the leader in torque! It is the Ram every time. Payload: For those of you looking for gas over diesel engines, consider this fact about the Ram 3500: the gas engine has best-in-class payload of up to 7,680 pounds (and the diesel has 6,910 pound payload, which is no small number itself). And for the engines, you can opt between the HEMI V8 gas engine or the Proven and Legendary Cummins Turbo Diesel I6 diesel engine. Whatever engine best suits your lifestyle, Ram has you covered for all of your hauling, stacking, lugging, and transporting needs. Lights at Night: Ram has some unique offers on the 3500. Not only does Ram feature full-LED Headlamps and mirror-mounted rear spotlights, but you can also opt for Ram’s exclusive Adaptive Forward Lighting System. What does that mean? The headlamps’ aim goes where you turn, so that as you turn the wheel the headlamps follow and keep the light on where you’re going (not where you just were). That’s safety and that’s smart. That’s Ram 3500. Touchscreen: Ram now offers the largest touchscreen available in a heavy-duty truck. With twelve inches of touchscreen space, your navigation and infotainment options just got easier to see and easier to interact with. And you get a 360-degree Surround View Camera alone with Trailer Reverse Guidance View as an available option, to boot. That’s easier. That’s better. And that’s Ram. Safety and Assist Available Features: Ram 3500 offers ParkSense Rear Park Assist, which is useful for those parallel parking moments on a city or town street. It uses six sensors to help protect your fenders as you navigate the parallel park or K-turn out of your spot. And consider the Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking feature that assists your driving by warning you of a potential forward collision (which also only works even when a trailer is attached). And those are just a teaser for what available options Ram 3500 has stacked on deck. Pricing and Specs: Ram announced on February 19 the starting retail prices for its Ram 3500, which comes in various trims and body styles: Limited, Laramie Longhorn, Laramie, Bighorn, and Tradesman. For example, consider a well-equipped Tradesman regular cab 4x2 with an MSRP of $33,395 with a $1,695 destination fee. The Ram 3500 Limited Mega Cab 4x4 is equipped with a 12-inch Uconnect 4C touchscreen would come in at $67,050 (plus standard destination fee). All models come with the standard 6.4L HEMI V8 with 8-speed automatic transmission. If you want to onboard the Cummins Turbo Diesel with 6-speed automatic transmission, add $9,100 to the model of your choice. Adding the optional 1,000 lb.-ft. torque Cummins High Output, paired with the Aisin 6-speed transmission? Just add $11,795 to the base price. Customer Reviews: Because the model does not roll out until Spring, we will consider what Motortrend’s review has to say about the Ram 3500: “Ram’s big trucks get a full style and tech makeover” their website posted. They go on: “a great deal of engineering went under the hood of the new Ram HD.” Motortrend also liked the upgrades in the cabin and the technology features: “Passengers will play with their phones in more comfort than ever” do to upgrades in the design of the Ram 3500, which will make for a smoother, quieter ride in the cabin. “These customers are telling truck makers they want three things, and they want them in perpetuity: more power, more technology, more comfort,” and Motortrend believes that Ram has delivered on all three points—and so do we at Mount Airy! Special Offer on the Ram 3500 Dually What more needs to be said about the Ram 3500 that hasn’t already been mentioned?

Highly Recommend them.” Jeep Wrangler JL Unique Features: To begin, let’s talk about how Motortrend has named the Jeep Wrangler JL the “SUV of the Year” for 2019! Wow. And the Wrangler JL was in competition with 35 other SUVs for the acclaimed spot, making itself the SUV leader. So, let’s take a look at some of the features that won such a prestigious accolade. When Motortrend named the Wrangler JL, they looked at six categories to arrive at naming it the 2019 SUV of the Year. And they concluded, “The new Jeep Wrangler is what crossovers want to be when they grow up.” Let’s look at a few of the things that won the Jeep Wrangler such high marks: Off-roading and all-weather capabilities: Let’s start with what has made Jeep Wranglers so famous. The Wrangler is unparalleled in its design, built around its high-sitting 4x4 system. That means it beats the competition when it comes to traction, water fording, maneuverability, articulation, and ground clearance. Want to climb around the Blue Mountains? Jeep Wranger is for you. Want to escape to the sandy dunes of the Coast and go fly fishing? Think Wrangler. Hitting the trails for a good, long hike. Take the Jeep. Safety & Security: Jeep Wrangler offers an available package called “Advanced Safety Group” that includes Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, which can help to alert you and assist you in preventing a collision. Also, Adaptive Cruise Control or Enhanced Adaptive Cruise Control can read your speed against the speed of others around you, on the road, and adjust to the flow of traffic. ParkSense and ParkView: Jeep also offers ParkSense Rear Park Assist, employing sonar technology to watch for obstacles behind you or alert you to a potentially hazardous situation when you attempt to parallel park or back up. And this comes paired with the ParkView Backup Camera, so that sonar and camera work together to ensure the safest possible parking scenario. Blind Spots and Rear Cross Path: Jeep offers both Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection so that, when you’re out on the highway, your Wrangler will alert you if another vehicle is driving in your blind spot or if a car is crossing through your path as you attempt to back up. Those safety features seem essential and common sense in such a fast-moving world. Technology: Jeep Wrangler has available the Uconnect 4C NAV with 8.4-inch touchscreen and Navigation system, which offers a bright and large screen for your navigation and infotainment needs. And a feature worth noting is Wrangler’s ability to launch its own powerful 4G Wi-Fi Hotspot, which can handle up to eight devices at once. Connected? Yes, the Wrangler keeps you connected and GPS-driven in multiple ways when you’re off-roading or cruising the highway. Pricing and Specs: The Wrangler comes in five models that start their pricing at an MSRP of $31,545. The Wrangler Unlimited Sport 4x4 starts there and the Sport S has an MSRP of $34,745, while the Wrangler Sahara launches at $38,395 MSRP. Customer Reviews: Let’s finish up by looking, again, at what Motortrend concluded when it reviewed the new 2019 Jeep Wrangler: “This Wrangler, this iconic Jeep, exists because it’s always existed, and this new one is the best one yet…No, Jeep faithful, they didn’t ruin it. They didn’t even make it just as good as the old one. They made it better in every way.” Check out this hot deal on our lots at Mount Airy—but you better act fast, as prices this hot won’t last long: Fiat 2018 Spider This is a sporty performance car.

Take a look at a few of the deals we’re offering: Express Lane Oil & Filter Change Have you been putting off your next oil change? As you know, conventional oil should be changed every three months, or 3,000 miles. With this Express Lane coupon, for only $15.00, you can receive a conventional oil replacement for up to 13 quarts. A synthetic oil change comes in at $114.95 for up to 13 quarts. Synthetic oil changes for newer cars are recommended every 10,000-15,000 miles, as they last longer than conventional oil, but turbo engines and older cars may still require oil changes every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. Synthetic oil is designed for performance, as it provides a quicker engine start time, cleans engine sludge and deposits, and increases fuel and oil economy. If you’re concerned about making the switch from conventional, don’t worry. There are no consequences to switching between oils. For $184.95, the EcoDiesel oil change is a great deal, at up to 11 quarts. All of these oil options come with a new Mopar®/Magneti Marelli® Oil Filter.

For only $8.99, our service team will perform an A/C system performance check, visually inspect system components for leaks, and check temperature readings and compressor operation. Stay ahead of A/C problems and don’t wait until a hot day to find that your vehicle is blowing out hot air. A/C problems can come from a worn valve, refrigerant leak, or broken belt, any of which can cause more damage to your vehicle than if you're A/C if left unrepaired. Download the coupon here. Charging System Test For only $14.99, our team will test your battery, voltage regulator, and alternator/generator. Why would you want to test these, and how often should they be tested? Testing your battery: Your vehicle’s battery supplies the power to start your engine and powers the electronics in your vehicle when it isn’t running. Most of us are also familiar with the fact that a dead battery will leave us stranded. So, needless to say, our car’s battery is one of the most important parts of our car. In general, vehicle batteries last about four to five years. It’s recommended that they are tested at least twice per year, typically in the late fall and late spring. This is because extreme hot and cold weather wear batteries down; hot weather causes the acid to evaporate and causes corrosion, whereas cold weather can slow the chemical reaction in a battery and make it work harder to start your vehicle. Extreme cold weather can also freeze your battery, and once a battery is frozen, it will have to be replaced. Testing the voltage regulator: Voltage regulators limit the maximum amount of voltage to prevent the alternator from shorting and overheating. If your car has lights that are dim or pulse, you might have a bad regulator. Testing the alternator/generator: The alternator is your car’s electrical generator; it spins the belts around your engine and recycles electrical power. When the alternator stops working, your vehicle’s battery will die quickly, and your vehicle is unlikely to start again. Dimmed lights inside the vehicle dash, a smell of burning rubber, a grinding or gritty sound when the vehicle is running, or slow moving windows and seat adjustments may be signs that your alternator is not running correctly.

These are only a handful of the deals ending this February, so head over here to check out more of the services (we’re talking Brake Pad Replacements, Multi-Point Vehicle Inspections, and more!) that you can save on this month at Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat.

They say sedans are losing their appeal. They say SUVs and pickup trucks are the new family vehicles. They say drivers can get all the luxury they need in a vehicle meant to climb a rocky mountain path or haul a herd of teenagers to extracurricular activities after class. They are mistaken. The Chrysler 300 has been added to Edmunds’ Most Wanted Awards for the second year in a row. The honor is based on overall sales figures, average time on the dealer lot, and shopper interest data from the Edmunds website. Edmunds is the leading car information and shopping platform, featuring inventory from more than 13,000 dealer franchises across the U.S. The 300 is a classy four-door that gives a wink and a nod to the Chrysler Six of the 1920s. In a 1924 interview Walter P. Chrysler, who left the Buick division of General Motors to take over what was then known as the Maxwell Motor Company and launched the Chrysler brand, said: “I built the Chrysler car because I have been convinced for years that the public has a definite idea of a real quality light car — one not extravagantly large and heavy for one or two people, but adequately roomy for five; economical to own and to operate. And, above all, real quality from headlights to tail-light.” The 2019 Chrysler 300 is no different. Available in five models: Touring; Touring L; 300S; Limited; and 300C. The 300 can be outfitted to be a friendly family car or a speedy sleeper. A 3.6-Liter V6 24-Valve VVT comes standard for all but the 300C, which sneaks a 5.7-Liter V8 HEMI® MDS VVT with best-in-class 363 horsepower and 394 pound-feet of torque under the hood. “Chrysler’s full-size 300 has attitude to match its outsize exterior, and it continues to stand out in a stale segment that contains few other extroverted sedans,” writes Car & Driver. You may have seen the 300’s attitude show up in some unlikely places, like hip hop videos and Drake lyrics. It seems that Chrysler, known for so many years now as the antithesis of cool, has stolen some swagger from its Dodge counterparts. Check out the optional V8 engine, heated, sport bucket seats, remote-start system, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, nickel finish analog clock, and blacked-out interior accents of the Chrysler 300S (starting MSRP $36,295). And then there’s the platinum grille and surround, memory driver’s seat and mirrors, heated and cooled cup holders, heated steering wheel, performance brakes, and independent touring suspension of the 300C (starting MSRP $40,995). Dual-zone air conditioning is standard on all models, and heated front seats and leather trim are standard on all but the baseline Touring model. The 8.4-inch touchscreen display? Standard. Back up camera? Standard. Keyless entry? Standard. Fuel efficiency? You’re looking at 19 in the city and 30 on the highway without the V8. All-wheel drive? Available on the Touring, Touring L, 300S, and Limited. The 2019 Chrysler 300 is arriving on dealer lots now. Exterior colors for the 2019 model year include, Bright White Clear Coat, Ceramic Grey Clear Coat, Gloss Black, Granite Crystal Metallic, Maximum Steel Metallic, Ocean Blue Metallic, and Velvet Red Pearl Coat.

You kicked off the season getting stuffed at Thanksgiving, survived Black Friday shopping, and now you are full swing into the holidays. So what’s next? If you’re in the market for a new or used vehicle, you are definitely after the lowest prices possible. The magic of the holiday season is all around, which is why we’re excited to tell you about the lowest prices you can find all year here at Mount Airy CDJRF. It’s the coldest season of the year with the hottest deals. Customers are always looking for a way to strategize their shopping to get the best deals. On Black Friday, everyone has their sights set on major purchases like 4K flat-screen televisions, which is why it is actually worth heading out to the lines and experiencing some minor aggression to save hundreds. Car dealerships are no different, except luckily for you, there are no lines to wait in, no fellow customers to fight, excellent customer service at your service, and the only aggression you will experience is from the aggressive discounts on year-end sales. Why is it good to buy at the end of the year? It isn’t really insider knowledge that the end of the year is the best time to buy a vehicle. Automakers and dealer incentives overlap on for the end of quarter and year sales, meaning the best discounts on the most popular models. Sales people are incentivized with financial bonuses, meaning the more they sell, the more they make, offsetting any discount given on a single vehicle. The triad of great deals and rich incentives from dealerships converges nearing the end of December. Basically, this means that everyone wins; sales people are incentivized to sell more vehicles, thus giving the making the best and cheapest deals of the year, and customers are receiving the best possible savings! Beyond just our word, the data backs it up. According to Edmunds.com, the most discounted months for buying a vehicle are October, November, December, but December is truly the best time of the year to buy. December has the year’s highest discount off MSRP, coming in a 6.1 percent on average, and the highest incentives offered by dealerships. Purchasing at the end of the month in December, which is in combination with the end of the quarter and annual goals, adds up to an average of 8.3 percent savings on a new vehicle. On top of that, dealerships tend to have the largest inventory in December, with vehicles for the New Year coming in. With the prior model-year cars remaining on the lot, dealerships are ready to move older inventory out to make space for the new. This is why you will find the biggest discounts on the 2018 models. In the case of Year-End Sales, timing can save you thousands! Higher-end models, for less! It may go without saying, but because prices are lower, you can upgrade more than ever before. The amenities that might have been just out of your budget are now within your grasp. Heated leather seats for those cold, morning commutes? Add it on! New vehicle for the New Year = new you! What better way to start the New Year than with a new vehicle to get you driving off to a fresh start? If you are looking to buy in January, there’s no need to wait 11 months to get a good deal. December is the best month to purchase a vehicle! We’ve included some of the most popular 2018 models below for you to check out. What would look good with a bright red Christmas bow on it? Picture this: the vehicle of your dreams sits in your driveway as you wake up on Christmas morning, wrapped in a bright, red bow. That’s right, it’s the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a trail rated luxury SUV, combining the rugged appeal of Jeeps with a refined interior charm. The beauty of the Grand Cherokee is that it blends perfectly between off-roading and city utility.

What sounds like calling out an oddly specific month is actually something to keep in mind. To our off-roading fans, we see you! The trails may be closed for the season now, but we’re thinking ahead, too. 2018 was an extremely exciting year for Jeep fans with the release of the 2018 Wrangler. Depending on the build you want, the 2018 Jeep Wrangler delivers on price and power. Now, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport is only $32,465, or financed for $405/month. With a 6-speed manual transmission and 5 models to choose from, you’ll be styling and in control on the road. The 2018 Wrangler brought this beloved off-roading vehicle into the modern, everyday use with a 35% city fuel improvement and state-of-the-art technology and connectivity. This vehicle looks effortlessly cool whether it’s as shiny and new as it is on our lot now, or in a few months when it’s covered in mud from heading off-roads. April is too far into the future. I’m only thinking about snow; show me four-wheel drive options. With forecast of snow as early as this first week of December in North Carolina, it is not overreacting to get prepared ahead of time. We know that in most parts of North Carolina, snow equals both rural and citywide shutdowns due to the lack of resources to clear the roads. However, with a new four-wheel drive vehicle, you will not even think twice about heading out to the store for your staple snow valuables of bread and milk. Cue the 2018 RAM 3500. At $49,485, the 2018 RAM 3500 is everything you ever wanted in a truck.

We don’t expect you to choose between the one-day Black Friday deals on TVs and laptops and coming to the dealership; we love our customers so much that we extend Black Friday deals throughout December.

The economy of America in 2019 is uncertain, but you know what you can count on?

More and more often buyers are opting out of sedans and coupes and choosing pickups and SUVs as their new luxury vehicles. Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat’s inventory is geared up for for those who demand high-end amenities, top trim levels, and additional upgrades. This time of year you can get more for your money with 2017 and 2018 models, which are on sale now in order to make room for incoming 2019s. It's an especially great time to look at high-end Jeeps and Rams. What defines a step up to the luxury automobile market? These days, it’s about 50K. “According to research firm J.D. Power and Associates, $50,000 is the slightly blurry line between mainstream and luxury in today's auto market,” reports CNBC. At Mount Airy CDJRF, you’ll find the new 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4x4 with its leather-trimmed bucket seats, Alpine premium audio system, keyless entry, back-up camera, privacy glass, LED lighting, steel bumpers, and the 2.0L I4 DOHC Turbo eTorque engine. “Jeep didn't just keep the charm in the 2018 Wrangler,” writes Road and Track magazine. “The automaker enhanced it, made it easier to access the joys that a no-roof, no-doors 4x4 has always promised. The result is amazing.” The 2018 Wrangler makes owning a Jeep perhaps even more fun because it’s even easier than before. The pop-off doors weigh less, the canvas top is no longer a jangle of zippers, and the technology and infotainment are modern amenities designed to still work despite mud and rain. “You won't find any drastic departures from the original recipe here: The axles are still solid, the roof and doors still come off, the body still bolts to the frame,” says Road and Track. “Everything that makes people exuberantly, irrationally love the Wrangler is still here. It's just been finessed in a way that won't jostle a die-hard's sensibilities.” The Rubicon is made for heading off road right off the lot. The next in line trim model, the Sahara, is a bit more every-day drive style than dirt slinger. “With body-color fender flares, the Sahara has a sleeker and more uniform appearance,” writes CP Pony Parts. “Deep tint sunscreen windows add some extra privacy and style. Power heated mirrors keep you safe in the winter and don’t sacrifice visibility. A grille that matches the body color and has fine silver metallic accents graces the front of the vehicle.” Add in the embroidered seats and 18-inch wheels to options like a body-color, three-piece hard top, anti-spin differential rear axle, turbo charger, and rollover protection system, and the Sahara is dressed to impress. Also in our top-of-the-line selection is the 2018 Ram 2500. The Laramie Longhorn Mega Cab 4x4 with a 6’4” box is on sale now with nearly $11,000 in savings. It is a beast of a truck with a 6.7L I6 Cummins Turbo Diesel, 5th wheel towing, off-road package, cargo view camera, anti-spin differential rear axle, plus premium leather bucket seats with heating and cooling, keyless entry, sunroof, privacy glass, suede headliner, walnut veneer, and more. The Laramie Crew Cab, Big Horn Crew Cab, and Tradesman round out the 2500’s offerings, and we have the 2018 3500 Tradesman (even one as a manual with an 8’ box). The 3500 can tow up to 31,210 pounds, which is more than Ford. “The Ram HD proves there’s no substitute for good, old-fashioned power and capability,” writes Car and Driver. “Despite an aging architecture, this heavy-duty pickup has a trim for every trade and a powertrain for every preference.” Need a commercial truck? The 2018 Ram 4500 Tradesman Chassis Crew Cab 4x4 is it. Built to haul, this no-nonsense turbo diesel comes with an electronically controlled throttle, 5.0 touch screen display, integrated voice command with Bluetooth, satellite radio, back-up camera, front and rear assist parking system, remote keyless entry and more for around $60,000. While pick-up trucks and SUVs may be commanding the market right now, there’s something to be said for the all-American sports car and a big engine that goes fast. Get in and get at the gas in a 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack for around $48,365. The 6.4L Hemi V8 with performance tires and the Shaker package, comes with perks like a heated steering wheel, leather-wrapped shift knob, remote start, foldaway mirrors, and a 5-year SiriusXM subscription. We’ve got one in Granite and one in Pitch Black. Which one is the one for you? If you’re looking to save a little more, our 2018 Challenger in TorRed is listed right now at $40,725.

On the sunny Saturday morning of Sept. 29, the town of Mount Airy once again welcomed friends from near and far to the annual Mayberry Days parade. Parade day draws them in as Barney Fife and his single bullet, a steady stream of squad cars, Mount Airy dignitaries, and Andy Griffith Show cast members make their way down Main Street. For those not in the know, Mount Airy's greatest claim to fame is being the actor Andy Griffith's birthplace. The little town tucked just under the North Carolina state line between Pilot Mountain and Fancy Gap, Va., was the basis for the Griffith Show's fictional town of Mayberry. These days Mount Airy echoes much of what Mayberry was — a friendly place where most everyone knows most everybody and you can stop in the soda fountain to sit a spell over a root beer float. As an expression of gratitude to the local community, Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat is an annual festival sponsor. Our Dodge trucks are always in the parade, and this year we were chauffeurs to the likes of Clint Howard, who you might remember from the Andy Griffith Show as a little boy always dressed in a cowboy outfit and eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and Elvis (the impersonator of course). Sad you missed it? Luckily for you, you can join us on the ride down Main Street and catch up with Little Miss Spare Rib, the Pickle Princess, Thelma Lou, Gomer Pyle, and many more. We may not be able to provide you with your own personal driver, but we've got plenty of nice trucks we think you'd look pretty good in. Come on by the dealership and visit us. We're at 538 North Andy Griffith Parkway, online at clickmountairy.com, or just give us a call at 336.429.5462.

When the RAM truck was first introduced in 1981 it was meant to serve as anything from a comfortable family vehicle to a rugged work truck. As years went on, and with numerous awards won, the RAM evolved to fit the ever-changing needs of the modern driver. Today the Dodge RAM has become a staple family/work vehicle that continues to impress and evolve. Versatility of the 2019 Dodge RAM Customer psychology is one of the first things considered when designing a vehicle, and Dodge spends a lot of time thinking about RAM drivers. Rather than market towards one, specific type of person, the Dodge RAM is built to operate as a versatile machine that works hard for all types of drivers. This is one of the things we love most about the RAM family. Dodge has created a brand that seamlessly fits right into our lives. Here are just a few activities you can do in the all new Dodge RAM 1500: Hauling —the 2019 Dodge RAM has best-in-class hauling and towing. Its powerful V-8 engine can handle heavy-duty loads with ease and a smoothness not offered in most modern trucks. This is because most other trucks are not powered by a revolutionary eTorque, hybrid engine that combines fuel and electricity. What keeps the RAM swaying or vibrating while hauling or towing big loads is its high-strength steel frame. According to RAM’s website, this sturdy skeleton offers up to 12,750 pounds of towing and 2,300 pounds of payload. For those drivers looking to haul on the regular, this is your truck. The 2019 RAM’s rugged luxury lets you get hard work done in style and comfort. Office Space —the thought of using your vehicle as an office induces stress: paperwork scattered, a misplaced phone, sitting uncomfortably while trying to type. Productive work does not get done this way. Dodge understands this, and has thus created the most luxurious, roomy cabin of any truck in its class. Once you open the door to the all-new 2019 RAM, the soft leather, dark mood lights, and sheer size will engulf you. This is the perfect office. The Harmon Kardon premium speakers offer clear, crisp conversations with clients, while the dual-pane panoramic sunroof offers plenty of natural light. The middle armrest is a perfect mini-desktop, and the dash and surrounding area serve as perfect space to hold paperwork and materials. Don’t be surprised if you end up spending more time in here than in your actual office. The best part is this office travels with you! Transport Clients —the first rule to transporting clients is that you must drive something classy and impressive. Sure, a truck may not be the first vehicle pictured for client transportation, but that’s about to change. Once you and your clients are inside the 2019 RAM with the doors shut and that engine purring, “truck” is the last thing anyone is thinking. Thick, plush seating that easily seats five makes the already-smooth drive even softer. As you float on down the road, exterior sounds are muted while the interior atmosphere is enhanced. The tinted windows, mood lighting, and ample legroom place everyone at ease. Of course there are some people who do all of the above. Sometimes your office is also your client transportation. The nice thing about the 2019 Dodge RAM is that you don’t have to purchase a different truck for each aspect of your life. The RAM is your all-in-one vehicle that can equally act as a truck for hauling and one for family fun. Dodge has essentially created the most functional line of vehicles. RAM Commercial Lineup The RAM family has had so much success that it has entered the commercial realm. This line of trucks and vans is perfect for any business, big or small. Here is a quick breakdown of RAM’s commercial lineup: RAM Promaster City: this is the smallest of the five commercial vehicles, but still offers impressive stats. It has a cargo capacity of over 131.7 cubic feet, a max payload of over 1,883 pounds, up to 28 highway mpg. It also comes in eight colors and a clean, sleek design. RAM Promaster: this is the larger of the two vans offered. It comes standard with a V-6 engine with 280 horsepower, and a high-tech front-wheel drive system that manages to reduce weight and provide impressive traction. Dodge also offers a wonderful warranty package and free oil changes with the Promaster. RAM Chassis Cab: if you need a big, powerful flatbed that’s good on gas and easy on the eyes, this is it. The RAM Chassis comes standard with a 6.4-liter HEMI gas engine that packs a punch with 410 horsepower and 429 pounds-feet of torque. There are several power take off prep options, so you can alter your truck to fit your exact needs. RAM 3500 & 2500: both trucks are offered for residential and commercial use. However, the commercial side offers a different variety of colors and some powerful engine and towing options. Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat There is obviously never been a better time than now to enter into the RAM family. At Mount Airy CDJRF we have a massive variety of the best of what Dodge has to offer. For example, we have a new 2018 Promaster City Tradesman Cargo Van for only $21,729. We also have a brand new 2018 RAM 1500 for only $30,775 that is usually priced at $35,775! For those drivers who love what the RAM family has to offer, but prefer a sport utility to a truck, we also have a nice variety of the cool, new Dodge Durango. The 2018 Durango SXT Plus All-Wheel Drive comes with a V-6, 3.6-liter engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission. Oh, and it’s only $37,725 with a savings of $2,000! This is a perfect vehicle for transporting clients and hauling family around town. Believe it or not, these deals are just scratching the surface of what we have to offer, but you better act fast if you want to get yours! A Little Something Extra Maybe you are the type of person who just wants to live large and enjoy the power of the new RAM. You’re in it for the versatility, but you are also for the rugged strength RAM has been known for all these years. You are the diehard fan who wants to experience all RAM can do. Well, know you can have it all with the new 2018 RAM 2500 Power Wagon. This suped-up RAM truck comes with a big 6.4-liter, V-8 engine and 33-inch off-road tires that can tear through any trail, hill, bump, or path. This RAM is meant to get dirty. The new Power Wagon is perfect for trips that may not always follow a beaten path, but always require a driver with a desire for adventure. You have to see these Dodge vehicles to really appreciate them, and at Mount Airy CDJRF, we will let you do much more than just have a look. Come see us today and test some of the hardest working, quality trucks, SUVs, and vans on the market.
