Winters in North Carolina and Virginia can be brutal, unreliable, and unpredictable. That’s why you need a Ram truck. You need a truck that won’t be unreliable or unpredictable. You need a truck that is heavy-duty, stable, and fierce enough to conquer any storm. You need a truck that seats more, hauls more, and does more for you and your family. Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat has that truck for you! Ram trucks are hauling home the awards after earning their due at the Texas Truck Rodeo this year. Nearly 70 auto writers test drove 57 vehicles judged them based on 5 criteria: Interior, Exterior, Performance, Value and Personal Appeal. Ram trucks came out on top. TRUCK OF TEXAS Winner: 2019 Ram 1500 Runner Up: 2018 Ram 2500 Power Wagon FULL-SIZE PICKUP TRUCK Winner: 2019 Ram 1500 Limited HEAVY DUTY PICKUP TRUCK Winner: 2018 Ram 2500 Power Wagon LUXURY PICKUP TRUCK Winner: 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn OFF-ROAD PICKUP TRUCK Winner: 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel BEST POWERTRAIN Winner: Ram eTorque Mild Hybrid "Being named the Texas Auto Writers Association's Truck of Texas is the highest honor in the world's largest pickup market," said Reid Bigland, Head of Ram Brand and U.S. Sales; Chairman, President and CEO, FCA Canada Inc. "The all-new 2019 Ram 1500 offers the best combination of class exclusive features, refinement capability and efficiency. Winning this award is a challenge, but the Ram 1500 is well suited to the hard-working needs of Texas truck buyers." If it’s good enough for Texas, where bigger is better, then truck lovers in North Carolina and Virginia will find what Texas already knows to be true. The Ram can pull Texas-sized jobs, getting you where you absolutely need to be, when your work and your family are relying on you. Do you have clients who expect you to show up on time and ready to get the job done? You need a Ram truck to be your mobile office. A project that needs an extra load or piece of equipment delivered? You need a Ram truck. A tree stump bogging down traffic flow at the construction site? You need a Ram truck. When a neighbor’s car gets stuck in a snowbank or runs out of firewood, you can be the hero. When school lets out early and the family sedan won’t make it there and back, you can be the one to pick the kids up safely. When the snow has fallen but the horses still need to be fed, you can do the job. And come warmer weather, when creek beds rise, and hunting seasons start, and the yard needs fresh landscaping, and the kids need to make it to practice, and the weekends are made for camping, a Ram truck won’t let you down then either. Heavy-Duty Award Winner: the 2018 Ram 2500 Named the Texas Auto Writers’ Heavy-Duty Pickup Truck of the Year, the 2018 Ram 2500 is on sale now at Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat. With best-in-class numbers, the 2018 Ram 2500 has 410 gas horsepower, 16,320 lbs. max gas towing, 429 lb-ft. max gas torque, and 3,990 max gas payload. The diesel-powered Ram 2500 delivers with a 385-horsepower V6 engine, 17,980 lbs. max diesel towing, and 900 lb.-ft. max diesel torque. “How much and how often do you tow? Do you like the clattering of diesels and the pull of their otherworldly torque? These are important questions for those considering heavy-duty pickups,” writes Car & Driver. “We like the Ram 2500 versus the burlier 3500 version; it rides better and has ample towing and hauling capability.” That power doesn’t trade for comfort though. “The Ram 2500 is unique in the heavy-duty truck segment because of its coil-spring rear suspension that gives it a more comfortable ride than its competitors,” writes Edmunds. “Such a configuration also allows for an air suspension, just like the one available for the Ram 1500. Besides improved ride comfort, the air suspension levels the bed when towing and hauling to keep the headlights pointed straight ahead.” And the accolades don’t stop. “The 2018 Ram 2500 offers something for everyone, whether you're looking for a basic work truck, a luxury equipment hauler or a trail-conquering pickup,” writes Edmunds. “It's an excellent all-rounder that surpasses many rivals. Notably, we picked the 2018 Ram 2500 (including the Ram 2500 Diesel) as one of Edmunds' Best Trucks for this year.” The 2018 Ram 2500 comes in three cab styles, two bed lengths, three engines, two transmissions and seven trim levels: Tradesman, SLT, Big Horn/Lone Star, Laramie, Laramie Longhorn, Limited and Power Wagon. The 2018 Ram 2500 Power Wagon, the off-road ready truck, was named runner up for the Texas Auto Writers’ Truck of Texas award. “At one end of the spectrum is the Tradesman, a minimal-frills workhorse. At the other, the Limited, widens the boundaries of big-truck luxury,” Edmunds writes. Right now Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat is offering discounts and bonus cash, along with retail consumer cash, on the new 2018 Ram 2500 Laramie Crew Cab 4x4, equipped with a 6-cylinder 6.7-liter engine and six speed automatic 68RFE transmission, starting at just $59,010. That gives you a savings of more than $10,000, on average, for every Laramie we sell. Or consider the 2018 Ram 2500 Laramie Mega Cab, which also comes with a diesel 6-cylinder 6.7 liter engine, 6-speed automatic 68RFE transmission, a 4x4 drivetrain, and a 6’4” box. The extra cab room serves as an office with room for you, the crew, and clients or more room for family. The Mount Airy price is just $64,900. We also have the 2018 Ram 2500 Tradesman Crew Cab with the reliable diesel 6 cylinder 6.7-liter engine. Standard features include 17-inch steel wheels, a locking tailgate, air conditioning, a 40/20/40-split front bench, a tilt-only steering wheel, a driver information display, vinyl upholstery, an auto-dimming rearview mirror with an incorporated rearview camera display, and a six-speaker stereo with a USB port. Mount Airy prices start at $44,065 for manual transmission and $47,515 for automatic. These price points are excellent for the packages that they deliver. Luxury, Full-Size, and Off-Road Pickup Trucks of the Year The 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn Mega Cab was named the Texas Auto Writers’ Luxury Pickup Truck of the year. “Arguably Ram's biggest engineering challenge with the 2019 1500 was simply improving on the old model,” writes MotorTrend. “The 2018 1500 was so nice to drive on the road that there really wasn't a ton of room left for improvement—yet Ram managed to pull it off. The single greatest improvement in how the Ram 1500 drives on the road is in the way it rides, which was already comfortable. The 2019 1500 now rides like a big SUV in the best way possible. Even without the optional air suspension, the Ram floats over bumps big and small without any impact harshness or gut jiggle. Only on the biggest bumps do you get secondary body motions, but even those are dispatched fairly quickly.” We’ve got a variety of high-end 2019 Ram 1500s to choose from including the Laramie Longhorn Crew Cab, Big Horn/Lone Star Crew Cab, and Big Horn/Lone Star Quad Cab. The Laramie Longhorn Crew Cab comes with a 5.7L V8 HEMI and special perks like the 12-inch touchscreen display, 19-speaker harman/kardon premium sound system, leather-trimmed bucket seats, heated and cooled seats, remote start engine, power running boards, dual-rear exhaust, wireless charging pad, parking assist, adaptive cruise control, collision warning, and more. And as the Full-Size Pickup Truck of the Year, the 2019 Ram 1500 Limited, is at the top of the line. “Not only is the cabin bank-vault quiet, but there are also noticeable upgrades to both interior quality and fit and finish,” writes MotorTrend. “Gone are the hard plastics and janky switchgear; in their place are thick, soft leather and high-quality satin-finished plastics and metal accents.” You can save now and get these truly classy trucks for less than MSRP. Winner of the Off-Road Pickup Truck of the year, the 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel is ready to tackle mud with 4-corner air suspension, panoramic sunroof, remote start system, dual exhaust with black tips, trip-fold tonneau cover, back-camera and more to earn its Rebel and Hemi badges.

While you’re here, you should check out what else our dealership has to offer that won awards at the Texas Truck Rodeo. “It was also noteworthy that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles swept all the overall awards at this year’s competition,” said Michael Marrs, Texas Auto Writers Association's president.

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.

When the Jeep Wagoneer was first manufactured it was an immediate hit, and in the many years since, it has turned into a celebrated collector’s item. Lately, there has been speculation about a possible return of the venerable “woodie.” With its whitewall wheels, vinyl-wood paneling, and roomy interior, the Jeep Wagoneer (SJ) was designed to become a classic and reigned all popular from its introduction in 1963 to its final days in 1991. While other makers focused on stripped-down work trucks, Jeep loaded the Wagoneer with features like power steering, an automatic transmission, and a factory installed AC or radio. Available as a two-door or four-door, the Wagoneer brought the entire family together to ride in ease and comfort. First marketed as a station wagon, the high-riding, boxy car was rechristened a sport utility vehicle when Jeep coined the term in 1974. After nearly 30 years in production, the Wagoneer rolled off the production line for the last time on June 21, 1991. It was metallic hunter green. But… good things roll back around to those who wait. Jeep is rumored to be working on plans to launch a luxury edition of the Wagoneer — with faux-wood paneling! — at some point in the not too distant future. It once was scheduled for a 2019 release. Guesses now point to around 2020 or 2021. Will the new Wagoneer project the same campy-cool, beach-vibe as its former self? There have been other vehicles to try and posses the same coolness as the original luxury SUV. The Plymouth Voyager minivan slapped a few wood-like pieces on its sides, but it lacked style and looked exactly like the beast it was — a poorly-designed people mover. There was no cool factor. The Buick Roadmaster Estate, a tremendous boat of a car build with a V8-engine from 1991 to 1996, did a little better job sporting its wooden panels, but the rise of the full-sized SUV put it out of production. These attempts, and many others, to create a modern woodie paled in comparison to the Wagoneer. There’s more to re-launching an old classic than just keeping a few of its most memorable parts. A lot of what turns old cars into classics is the very fact they are old. They herald a time gone past when wind tunnel tests and gas mileage ratings weren’t as much of a concern and bumpers were made of steel. Even those who wouldn’t describe themselves as car aficionados have a bit of nostalgia for the cruisers of old with rusted out Buicks and Fords making the backdrop of plenty a black-and-white wedding photo on Pinterest. How well a modern Wagoneer would sell? Volkswagen brought back the Bug. They updated it, made it run better, added luxury items, but kept car’s most iconic features: the round shape, its cute small frame, and its zippy pick-up. Meanwhile, the Ford Thunderbird, which created the “personal luxury vehicle” niche when it was release in 1955, bombed when it was briefly resurrected from 2002-2005. Whether a new Jeep Wagoneer is vastly different or very much the same — leaked pictures from back in 2016 hinted at something like a vastly upgraded Grand Cherokee — there’s something exciting about the SUVs pioneer making something old new again. In addition to the Wagoneer, a Jeep Wrangler-based truck is slated for release in late 2019. One thing that has been proven time and time again is that if any car maker has succeeded by reinventing itself on a theme, it’s Jeep. The style, rugged toughness, and sheer pleasure of driving any Jeep has earned the brand an extraordinarily loyal following.

North Carolina is one of several states in which it is now illegal to leave your pet locked in a hot car. Studies have shown that in just a short amount of time the temperature inside a car, even on a seemingly cool day, can soar to surprising levels. At Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat, we know that there are many others who, like us, enjoy taking their four-legged friends out on the road. We hope the proper precautions will keep all family members safe and happy. It is unlawful to confine an animal in a motor vehicle under conditions that are likely to cause suffering, injury, or death to the animal due to heat, cold, lack of adequate ventilation, or under other endangering conditions. Often people think that cracking the windows will provide adequate ventilation to keep a car cool. It doesn’t — at least not to any significant effect. Here are the facts from the Humane Society: When it's 72 degrees Fahrenheit outside, the temperature inside your car can heat up to 116 degrees Fahrenheit within an hour. When it's 80 degrees Fahrenheit outside, the temperature inside your car can heat up to 99 degrees Fahrenheit within 10 minutes. How do we at Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat know this is true? Because we spend A LOT of time with cars! Just imagine how we feel getting into an all new Ram 1500, Dodge Journey, or Jeep Cherokee that’s been sitting out on the lot on one of these hot summer days. While we’re always excited to show you features like power windows and a sunroof, we also just want to let some of all that hot air out of the vehicle. “Stats do not lie: dogs die in hot cars,” states DMV.org. “So do cats, kids, and videotapes. It is a bit of a no-brainer that you would not leave your child in the car with no water on a 100-degree day! But somehow people think dogs are different than humans. They are: they have fur. You know what it is like opening the door to the car on a hot day. Imagine your dog in there with a fur coat.” We know that it may seem like second nature to put the dog in the back of the pickup truck and go out for a ride, but the fact of the matter is that it’s not safe. “Although you may have a pickup truck and are under the impression that a dog and truck bed go hand-in-hand, you are mistaken,” states DMV.org. “Each year thousands of dogs are killed while in a truck bed, mostly from falling out or being bonked by road rubbish.” And your dog’s habit of hanging its head out the window? While it seems like fun, it too can pose a hazard due to wind speed damaging the respiratory system, tree branches or other road-side growth striking an eye, or even a wayward paw rolling the window all the way up. According to the American Kennel Club’s Canine Health Foundation (AKCCHF), dogs can suffer dehydration, heat exhaustion, heat stroke, and sudden death from cardiac arrhythmia. Although a dog’s normal temperature is around 101 degrees, just a two degree internal temperature increase can start to threaten their well-being. The physical signs over overheating for a dog are not unlike the physical signs for a human. “Panting, followed by disorientation and fast, noisy breathing could signal overheating,” the AKCCHF writes. “Other possible signs: Collapsing or convulsing, bright red or blue gums, vomiting and diarrhea.” Dehydration frequently accompanies overheating. Severe dehydration may require IV fluids to treat. “Signs of a dehydrated dog include sunken eyes and dry mouth, gums and nose,” states the AKCCHF. Poor skin elasticity is another dehydration symptom, which you can test by gently pulling up on the skin at the back of your dog’s neck. If the skin doesn’t immediately spring back to its normal position, your dog may be dehydrated. The longer it takes for the skin to return to its normal position, the more severe the dehydration.” These physical signs clearly indicate that your dog is not feeling well. Any heat-related condition, if severe and prolonged enough, can result in organ damage. Hospitalization may be required. The AKCCHF notes that dogs kept outdoors or used during hunting may also be at risk. Plus, just because the heat is gone that doesn’t mean that the danger is gone too. “Even a dog that has seemingly recovered should be examined,” reads an article in Field & Stream. “Some effects of heatstroke, involving the dog's vital organs, won't show themselves until the day after an incident. Also, once a dog has had a heat episode, there's a likely chance it will happen again, even under lesser conditions.” Cats, despite their love for a nap in the sun, also can overheat. Their physical signs are very similar to a dog’s. A cat’s normal body temperature also is around 101 degrees, but anything over 102.5 can become threatening. Kittens are more susceptible to overheating that adolescent or adult cats. You may not take your cat for a ride on the regular, but it’s worth remembering cats-in-cars safety tips for trips to the vet or moving. “Some cats will hop in a car like a dog. But this is rare, and most likely, to ensure Fluffy is at least somewhat comfortable, you'll need to put her in an appropriate-sized carrier,” states DMV.org. “She may not like it; she may meow to a decibel that is painful. She may even avoid you for days afterward in protest, but the carrier will safely transport her.” And don’t forget that pets CAN get sunburned! Animals with pale skin, particularly those with white fur, can burn just like humans. A bit of sunscreen on the tips of the ears or a pink nose is okay to apply — just choose a sunscreen you would be willing to put on yourself or your child. Consumer Reports offers a sunscreen buying guide online. Do you know what to do if your pet does have a heat-related illness? If possible, take your pet’s temperature. Using a rectal thermometer, obtain a reading and report the information to your vet. Cool your pet down. Damp towels over a dog’s neck, under its armpits, and between his hind legs can start the cooling process. Pour cool water over a dog’s ears and on its paws also helps. If you’re outside, make use of bodies of water like streams or lakes. Provide cold water to drink. Never force an animal to drink as it may result in choking. You can however gently pour cold water over an animals’ mouth and tongue. Don’t give ice! Ice may cause a shock to the system. Head to the vet. Call ahead to let the vet know about your emergency situation. If you’re traveling, seek out an emergency vet clinic. First responders like police and medics may be able to help you find one. Now that you know more about how to keep your pets safe, why don’t you join us in appreciating a few of the great animal-related car commercials from over the years? 2018 Chrysler Pacifica ft.

For more than 75 years, Jeep has enabled drivers to push the limits, exceed the boundaries, and not only create adventure but be the adventure. Jeep life is about the freedom to explore, to go anywhere and do anything, to take the road less traveled no matter the terrain. Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat wants you to have your own Jeep adventure this summer. But before you know where you’re going, you have to know where you’ve been. 1940s – Designed for the battle field, the Jeep staked a claim on honor, freedom, and adventure as a hero to soldiers across the globe. Prior to WWII, the military called for a 1/4 ton "light reconnaissance vehicle" tailored to Army specifications. Only three companies responded — Bantam, Willys, and Ford — but, within a year's time they collectively produced the template for the vehicle known worldwide as the "jeep". After Jeep established its name on the battle field, it became an icon that held its values and subsequently earned rank among civilians. Its capabilities and attention to drivers’ needs made Jeep the leader in 4x4 technology. The Jeeps of the 1940s include: 1940 - Willys Quad 1941 - Willys MA 1941 - Willys MB 1945 - Jeep CJ-2A 1946 - Willys Wagon 1947 - Willys-Overland Truck 1948 - Jeep Jeepster (VJ) 1949 - Jeep CJ-3A 1950s – The “Jeep” name became a registered trademark in 1950 to Willys-Overland. In 1953, the company was sold for $60.8 Million dollars to Henry J. Kaiser. Its new name was Willys Motor Inc. The company proudly became known for being the largest production of four-wheel-drive vehicles. These years made Jeep famous for being a recreational vehicle, and the Jeep hit new records in sales. The unique models of the 1950s include: 1950 - Jeep M38(MC) 1952 - Jeep M-38A1(MD) 1953 - Jeep M-170 (MD-A) 1953 - Jeep CJ-3B (Universal) 1955 - Jeep CJ-5 1955 - Jeep CJ-6 1957 - Jeep FC-150 (FC) 1957 - Jeep FC-170 (FC) 1960s – The 1960s brought luxury to transportation. Designed by Brooks Stevens, the all-new Jeep Wagoneer saw incredible refinement and innovation along with the first 4x4 automatic transmission and independent suspension. Along with the new standards for luxury, Jeep increased the power and capabilities in many vehicles. The Jeep CJ-5 and CJ-6 both featured the V6 engine. The 1960s introduced these models: 1961 - Fleetvan (FJ-3/FJ-3A) 1963 - Jeep Wagoneer (SJ) 1963 - Jeep Gladiator/ J-Series Truck 1964 - Jeep CJ-5A/CJ-6A Tuxedo Park 1965 - Jeep J-2000 & J-3000 Series Pickup (SJ) 1966 - Jeep Super Wagoneer (SJ) 1967 - M-715 1967 - Jeepster Commando (C-101)/(C-104) 1969 - Jeep Gladiator / J-4000 Series Pickup (SJ) 1970s – Jeep continued to lead in its technology and design for 4x4 vehicles and introduced the first full-time 4x4 system in 1972 in the Quadra-Trac 4x4 System. The Jeep Cherokee (SJ), a sporty, two-door, full-size vehicle, won 4x4 of the Year. In 1970, Henry Kaiser sold Jeep for $75 million to American Motors (AMC). Jeep continued to hit record high sales, and by 1978 the company was producing more than 600 vehicles a day. The Jeep models of the 1970s include: 1970 - Dispatcher Jeep (DJ) 1972 - CJ-5 Renegade 1974 - Jeep J-10 Pickup 1974 - Jeep J-20 Pickup 1975 - Jeep Cheerokee (SJ) 1975 - Jeep Cherokee Chief (SJ) 1976 - Jeep CJ-7 1980s – The All-New Jeep Cherokee (XJ) was a big step for Jeep and the automotive industry. Pushed by the energy crisis and need for a smaller wagon style vehicle, the new model introduced the first compact SUV with four-doors, the first uniframe construction, and first shift-on-the-fly capability for the full-time 4x4 system. Sales continued to increase, and the legendary Jeep Wrangler was introduced in 1986. In 1987, Chrysler Corporations bought American Motors Corporation. Vehicle models of the 1980s include: 1980 - Jeep CJ-5 Laredo 1981 - Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler 1982 - Jeep CJ-7 Laredo 1984 - Jeep Grand Wagoneer (SJ) 1984 - Jeep Cherokee (XJ) 1986 - Jeep Comanche (MJ) 1987 - Jeep Wrangler (YJ) 1990s – The All-New Jeep Grand Cherokee was introduced in 1993. Larger and more luxurious than the standard Jeep Cherokee, the Grand also brought new capabilities to the vehicle on and off-road. The 1997 Jeep Wrangler (TJ) was very similar to the CJ-7 but used four-link coil suspension and had an updated interior. Sales continued to rise and the corporation merged with Germen Daimler-Benz for $36 billion. The Jeeps of the 1990s include: 1993 - Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ) 1993 - Jeep Grand Wagoneer (ZJ) 1997 - Jeep Wrangler (TJ) 2000s – Merging with Daimler-Benz began to prove its value as the Jeep brand produced several new models including the smaller Compass, Liberty, and Patriot. The Jeep vehicles produced in the 2000s include: 2002 - Jeep Liberty (KJ) 2004 - Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (TJ) 2005 - Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK) 2006 - Jeep Commander (XK) 2007 - Jeep Compass (MK) 2007 - Jeep Patriot (MK) 2007 - Jeep Wrangler (JK) 2007 - Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (JK) 2008 - Jeep Liberty (KK) 2010s – Sales increased to an all-time record in 2016, hitting 1.41 million units sold worldwide. All-new models of the Grand Cherokee, Renegade, and Compass were released.

Sometimes a pleasure drive through the Blue Ridge Parkway just doesn’t hit the spot. The Parkway is beautiful, but every now and then it’s nice to get a bit closer to nature, maybe do a little off-roading. It’s a wonderful feeling: the wildly bumpy ride, mud flying through the air, a tinge of danger all provided for you and your friends. As long as you keep safety first and find the best off-roading spots, you are sure to find this an exciting change of pace. When getting ready for an off-roading excursion there are a few essentials. First, you must have a Jeep, and preferably a Wrangler. New or vintage it does not matter, there is no better vehicle to take off the beaten path than a Wrangler. Next, is placing safety first. Make sure safety belts are worn by everyone and the driver is familiar with the path. The last off-roading essential is to find the best spots. At Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat we love off-roading, and we have compiled a list of some great spots. Find one close to you and see what you think. Uwharrie National Forest This massive national forest is a great place to test the versatility of your Jeep. The story goes that some 450 million years ago these mountains were covered in volcanic rock, reaching a point of over 19,000 feet. Since then the area has eroded leaving high ridges and deep gorges perfectly fit for trudging through with a Wrangler. While you’re there, if you don’t feeling like climbing up, down, or through the rocky terrain, you can drive through any number of the forest’s beautiful trails. This is a much softer ride, but still packs some fun off-roading experiences. Uwharrie National Forest is a great place to take family or friends. Maybe even pack a picnic and enjoy the beautiful views. Big Dogs Some of Virginia’s best off-roading, Big Dogs has been doing it for over twenty years. Not only do you get some massive trail rides, you can also camp. There’s a food vendor, hot showers, bathrooms, and a shooting range. There is even a sandy beach! Even better, all events benefit a variety of charities. Drive any kind of vehicle you like, but for this course any model of Jeep is going to give you the most fun. Especially at this October’s “Fall Crawl and RCPFA” event where you can enjoy plenty of fun drives all benefiting the local volunteer fire department. Check out their website for more details and events: http://www.bigdogsoffroad.com/ Red Cloud This renowned off-roading spot was closed for a year or so but has recently opened back up to the public. If you are looking for some classic stuck-in-the-mud fun, Red Cloud is the spot for you. This mass of land is a mix of flat and hilly forest full of mud pits and trails. If off-roading were family-friendly, this would be the place. Not to say Red Cloud is tame. It’s just a nice off-roading experience where you can control how extreme it gets. If you are feeling a bit sheepish, throw your Wrangler in low gear and have a blast making your way through the muddy landscape. If dangerous excitement is what you are looking for, hold tight and speed up a bit. Red Cloud will have no problem bumping you around. A word of advice for those taking it easy or extreme: make sure and have a way to pull your Jeep out of the mud if it gets stuck. No matter how tough vehicles may be, they will inevitably lose one to mother nature every now and again. Potts Mountain This beautiful Virginia Mountain has it all, rolling hills, open meadows, great bodies of water, and perfect camping spots. It just doesn’t get any better than this. Hop right off State Route 617 at the lower trailhead and find yourself surrounded by massive trees and winding trails. Just be extra careful on this one. You might want to make sure your Jeep is lifted and ready for pits and rough ridges. Also, be on the lookout for washouts and pits seeming shallower than they actually are. This is the type of off-roading for those who have a little experience and have a pretty good idea of what his or her Jeep can handle. Now that you have some of our favorite spots, here are a few important safety tips: Have Someone in the Know. Tell a friend or family member where you are going and when you expect to be back. You never know what can happen, and if you are out where cellphone service is sketchy it’s a good idea having someone know to send a search party. There have been plenty of situations where off-roaders had to spend the night in the Jeep or hike for seemingly endless miles to get help. Don’t let this happen to you! Bring Along a Few Trusty Tools. Always plan for the worst. If you get a flat or get stuck there are quick fixes if you have the right tools. Be sure to bring along some thick rope and a few tow straps to pull yourself free. If you need to change a tire, and at some point you definitely will, bring some blocks of wood, a shovel, and a hand winch. While you’re at it, go ahead and pack a first aid kit and some dry clothes. Save Some Energy. Don’t wear yourself out before or during the fun because you never know when you might have to walk to the nearest gas station or house. Even if you have someone back home who knows what you are up to, if you break down early in the day you have no choice but to seek help. It’s not a bad idea to pack some walking or hiking shoes if you are not already wearing them either. Do a Dry Run. Before you go bouncing down a trail, no matter how flat or smooth it looks, walk it first. There are too many stories of people taking to the trail without making sure it is safe and ended up doing some major damage to their Jeep. All it takes is a fallen tree, a mud or rock slide, even a developing pit to turn your fun excursion into a nightmare. Watch Your Speed. So many wrecks are due to drivers taking the trail a little too fast. The tiniest bumps can seem like boulders when you’re moving at even a medium speed. The key is just to keep it slow and steady. No matter where you go or what you drive, be safe and have fun out there. There is no better feeling than coming home after a long day of spinning out and flinging mud with friends and family. Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat has some of the best off-roading vehicles in stock, and we are ready to show off what they can do. Stop in today and test drive a brand new or used Jeep Wrangler or Jeep Grand Cherokee. You won’t find a better off-roading companion anywhere else. Happy driving! -Andrae Bergeron Mount Airy CDJRF Contributor CCP Web Design Writer

What makes the Jeep so popular? Is it the industrial toughness that has been drawing drivers for years? Or maybe it’s the little touches of simplicity and luxury that we find so endearing. Ask a million different people and you’ll likely get a million different reasons for the success of the Jeep brand, and that says something. A vehicle that can garner the attention of people from many different walks of life must have something to offer. Go to any back-woods town and you’re sure to see a Jeep Wrangler with its roof and doors off. Maybe a little dinged up, but still running like a top. In the same way, have a look at what some of the most famous, wealthiest people are driving and you’re sure to see, among many other luxury vehicles, a Jeep. So, which celebrities are driving Jeeps? And what kind of Jeeps are they in? Luckily, Society’s watchful eye is always turned towards those in the Hollywood Hills. So if you ever have a celebrity sighting, be sure and pay attention to what he or she is driving. You might be surprised at how much these celebs reflect the Jeeps they own. Lebron James—Jeep Wrangler Unlimited What does the 2004 Rookie of the Year, multiple All-Defensive 1 st Team, and four-time MVP winner like to drive? How about something rugged and tough, but with the capability to finesse its way through any situation, just like Mr. James does on the basketball court. Something like the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. And bright orange at that! With its custom metallic orange color, Lebron’s Wrangler is difficult to miss. Then again, so is the 6’8” NBA superstar. And much like the famous athlete, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has quite a few impressive features, such as: Hill-Start Assist. This brilliant device allows you to take off from an uneven position with ease. Think of all the times you’ve been at a stop sign or stoplight on a hill. Whether driving an automatic or manual, you know as soon as you let off the brake, the vehicle will begin to roll backwards. You then have to time the pressure placed on the gas pedal perfectly so that you do not give the passengers or yourself whiplash. This can be nerve racking. But with the Wrangler’s hill-start assist, there is no roll, and taking off from awkward positions is no problem. LED lights throughout. LED lights do two things very well: they cut through just about any fog and darkness so you can clearly see what is happening around your Wrangler. And they look amazing. The crisp white light gives a modern spin to the venerable Jeep Wrangler. Unlimited Status. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited offers some of the best upgrades the company has to offer. Plus the body style to the Unlimited is extra fit with more room, superior toughness, and the capability to be altered and bulked up as much as desired. The possibilities are unlimited with this Wrangler. Faith Hill—Jeep Wrangler Rubicon What does one of the best looking and best sounding country music singers like to drive when she’s not out touring the country? How about a red Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Both Faith and her husband, singer Tim Mcgraw, have been spotted driving their favorite Wrangler, and the fact they chose a Rubicon just further proves how cool this couple is. Why would someone choose a Wrangler Rubicon versus, say a Sahara? Both styles of Jeep Wrangler are great, but for different reasons. Here are a few for why you might go with the Rubicon: Advanced Off-Road Features. All Wranglers are created capable for life off the road, but the Rubicon aspires to it. Rocks, mud, hills, this Wrangler loves a challenge. And what’s nice is that even though the 3.6-liter, V-6 engine churns out enough power to pull and push its way through tough terrain, it still offers a nice, smooth ride through town. Its versatility is what makes it so charming. Premium Upgrades Throughout. Another bonus to the Rubicon is that you can still get all the same upgrades available to the other Wrangler styles. Leather interior, heated seats, sunroof, etc. It’s all there. With the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon you get the roughest and toughest with all the bits of luxury you can imagine in a Jeep. And all Jeep Rubicons come with virtually endless color options and pairings. Want green on the outside and tan within? No problem. Ralph Lauren—Classic Wrangler The American fashion icon and philanthropist, Ralph Lauren, has created his own empire by making good decisions and not being afraid to try new things. He’s also known for his rugged good looks and classic style. So to see him driving a 1948 Jeep Wrangler is no surprise at all. Both are a one-of-a-kind, unstoppable machine. But why drive an old Wrangler? Is it more than just novelty? Actually, there are many reasons to drive a classic Jeep. And as for its novelty, well that’s just a bonus. Here are a couple reasons Mr. Lauren may have chosen a classic: Stand the Test of Time. It’s impressive to hear of any vehicle still running that was made back in 1948. But it’s less surprising to find out a Jeep is still scooting around. You can find these old Jeeps anywhere, and a lot of them need minimal work done to get them running like new. How are Jeeps able to run so long? Rugged simplicity. You know when you see a classic Wrangler winding down the road it must be made well. That might be what we love most about the Jeep Wrangler, it’s undying reliability that has stood the test of time. They Look Better a Little Beat Up. It’s not that Ralph Lauren can’t afford a new Jeep Wrangler (he could afford multiple new Wranglers), it’s that no one cannot replicate the look and feel of an old, beat-up Wrangler. It’s big, loud, and has the scars to prove a life lived of adventure and fun. It says something about the person driving it as well. That though he may be older, he is wiser, tougher, and cooler than just about anyone else on the road. Tony Hawk—Grand Cherokee SRT8 It’s not at all a shock to see a thrill seeker like Tony Hawk driving such a powerful machine. He’s created a fortune doing the impossible on a skateboard and has fully embraced the life of celebrity. What better to drive than a sporty and dangerously powerful Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8. Both Hawk and his supped-up machine are cool, relaxed, but capable of doing super rad things. Here’s a couple facts about the SRT8: Raw Power. Jeep takes luxury to an entirely new level in the Grand Cherokee by adding the upgrade in trim. And it’s all in the name: Street and Racing Technology in a V-8 engine (SRT8). This is a high-performing, high-octane powerhouse that can trudge through anything. Its 425-horsepower, 6.1-liter Hemi engine moves fast and smooth with incredible towing capabilities. Complete Package. Its high performance matches its good looks. Not only does the Grand Cherokee SRT8 have some guts, it also has some sleek design. The round headlights counter the boxy aspects of the body, and the low front-end gives a tenacious look. Inside, everything is soft to the touch. Plush seating throughout with leather and shiny trim pieces mixed in makes for a pleasing aesthetic for short and long drives.

For  those who made the decision to bypass the traditional car for the thrilling  ride of a Jeep, you don’t need to be sold on Jeep Wrangler’s superiority. You  appreciate the Wrangler’s stylish looks and impressive off-road prowess.

Thankfully,  Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is here to offer you a variety of Jeep  Wrangler Unlimiteds. Let’s  look at what makes the 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited the toast of the mountains  before we take a peek at what Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram has sitting on  its lot.

When you see the seven-slot grille, the removable doors, the  fold-down windshield and the available LED headlamps, you know some lucky soul  is enjoying a pleasurable driving experience that you are missing out on.

Who wouldn’t enjoy a jaunt around town on a beautiful  day with the wind and sounds of Mount Airy embracing you?

What more in a Jeep can you ask for? That  was not a rhetorical question. There is more you can ask for. The 2017 Jeep  Wrangler Unlimited’s 4x4 capability is top of the line. You can equip your  Wrangler Unlimited with Command-Trac® or Rock-Trac® 4x4 Systems, both of which  offer stellar control and traction for challenging off-road terrain.
