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. Cruising in this SUV is designed for comfort, with adult-friendly seating in the front and back seats, as well as plenty of cargo space in the back. It comes standard with Bluetooth, USB ports, a 115-volt power outlet, rear parking sensors, a 7-inch touchscreen, satellite radio, and a heated steering wheel. One of our favorite features is the power liftgate, which is there to help you easily load up your supplies and gear for your next adventure. What about a sleek ride for New Years? We’ve got you covered. We recommend the new 2018 Dodge Challenger at only $40,725 and it comes in a stunning red exterior that will be sure to turn heads. Kelley Blue Book describes the 2018 Challenger as, “Whether you want to go fast or not, the 2018 Challenger is a terrific looking car, with clean lines that blend classic proportions with modern design.” To this, we would add that the design of the 2018 Challenger is extremely intimidating, but the insides offer an aggressive and serious performance. You will take over the streets with the TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission and one of the most powerful engines on the market. In addition, the Challenger has a surprisingly spacious second row and abundant trunk space. The 2018 Challenger is an impressive, yet practical sports car that delivers raw power. What if I want a ride in style that won’t break the bank? The 2018 Fiat 500 Pop is not only adorable, but prices in at only $15,785. You can also finance for only $197 a month! This classically Italian styled car is a great choice for those who want a small car with a bold performance. This hatchback comes standard with 16-in alloy wheels, fog lights fuller power accessories, heated mirror, a backup camera, Bluetooth capabilities, two USB ports, and an Uconnect touchscreen interface. As for safety, it comes standard with stability control, 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, and seven airbags in the front, front-side, driver-knee, and full-length side-curtain. With increased horsepower from prior Fiat 500’s, the Pop handles tight spaces easily and gracefully. You’ll love every inch of this car, from the ride to the charming, retro design. What about April? 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. The 2018 RAM 3500 comes with 6-Speed Manual G-56 transmission, Uconnect 5-Inch Display, 17-inch dual rear wheels , a ParkSense Rear Park-Assist System, and Trailer Brake Control. This diesel engine and automatic transmission yields monumental torque, but has a comfortable and quiet ride. This heavy duty truck is all about towing, hauling, and bed capacity. If you’re looking for safety on and off the road, the RAM 3500 is for you. What if I want a new 2019 model? If you’re ready to leave 2018 behind entirely, we support you 100% in your new year’s resolutions. While we have amazing discounts on this year’s 2018 models as we move them off the lot, you better believe that we are already bringing in 2019 model vehicles. For those interested in the car industry, the months in recent past have revealed the latest new models in the spotlight, bringing forward exciting new trims, features, and technologies. What if I’m still mentally recovering from Black Friday? We haven’t mentioned this before, but our Black Friday deals, specifically the retail bonus cash is still in full swing. 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. Take the new 2019 RAM 1500 Big Horn/Lone Star Crew Cab 4x4, for example. The 2019 RAM 1500 goes for $48,220, but between $1000 Black Friday Bonus Cash and other savings totaling in at $10,150, you’re only paying $38,070. $10,000 is savings is no joke! The 2019 Ram 1500 was fully redesigned with reduced weight, and increased payload and towing capacity, plus more rear-seat space and a new mild hybrid power system. You won’t be able to feel the difference between the smooth-riding suspension of the 2019 Ram 1500 and a luxury sedan; this cabin delivers sensible comfort and quiet as its top priorities. But it’s not all work with no play; the 2019 Ram 1500 also promises on its off-roading capabilities, and you’re sure to have a great time in the dirt and mud. The economy of America in 2019 is uncertain, but you know what you can count on? Despite political leanings or even if you do not want to be involved with politics, it is hard not consider that 2019 could bring tariff conflicts with China. This would mean new car prices increasing drastically, alongside rising interest rates. What you can count on are the savings you can get right now at Mount Airy CDJRF!

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 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.

Two of America’s top selling trucks, the Ram 1500 and Ram 2500 are known for their strong powertrains, smooth rides, and roomy cabins. Truth is, you won’t find a tougher truck anywhere else. The Ram lineup is built to perfection, and has quickly become the working man’s staple vehicle. Currently it seems there are two types of truck: The flashy and fast, such as the Ford Raptor, or the hefty and hardworking, like the GMC Sierra. What Dodge has been able to do with the Ram series is combine both these ideas to create one style that both looks good and works hard. The Ram 1500 and 2500 are sleek, light-duty trucks offering heavy payloads. But which one is right for you? It all depends on how you plan to use it. The Ram 1500 comes standard with a 3.6-liter, V-6 engine, has a power output of 305 horsepower, and has optional four-wheel drive. So, what can it handle? The 1500 is good for towing boats, small trailers. It has a refined cabin with bright, bold instrumentation, real wood accents, and plush, comfortable seating. It’s the work truck that can be used around the house, and also taken out for a nice drive through the mountains. The Ram 2500 may be labeled as a light-duty truck, but it sure doesn’t act like one. The base engine to the 2500 is a 5.7-liter, V-8, and has a power output of 383 horsepower. And it also has optional four-wheel drive. This is the truck you need for hauling the bigger, heavier stuff. Farm equipment, large trailers, etc. It’s a little slower off the line than the 1500, but it makes up for this with superior power. The interior matches the roominess and luxury of the 1500 and adds a little more space to stretch, as well as, a trailer brake controller and built-in under-seat storage. If you are in the market for a truck, go for the best. And get the right Ram for you. Come by MA Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram today and take a test drive! Our sales staff can answer all questions. One thing is for sure, if you choose a RAM truck, you’ve made the right choice! Written by Andrae Bergeron Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram contributor

2016 Ram 1500: Mount Airy's Pick for Best Pickup The 2016 Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado, and the Ford F-150 are this summer's top pickups. And all three offer superior navigation and towing, especially the all-new 2016 Ram 1500. Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram compared the three top contenders, and here is what they found. Strictly comparing the navigation systems and towing of the three, let's begin with the 2016 Ford F-150. When properly equipped, this pickup truck can tow up to 10,400 pounds. This is impressive to say the least, but not incredibly useful to all pickup drivers. Just those hauling some major equipment. As far as navigation, the F-150 offers basic navigation, but only at the XLT level. Next, let's have a look at the 2016 Chevy Silverado. Properly equipped, the max towing capacity of the Silverado is 9,400 pounds. This is a little less than the F-150, but that does not mean it is any less of a truck. When it comes to towing, you don't need to get the most, you simply need what is best for you. What the Chevy does do better than the F-150 is navigate. The MyLink system is a 4.2-inch screen that offers music, phone connectivity, and a very easy to use navigation component. With voice activation and Bluetooth capability, the new Chevy Silverado is impressive. Lastly, we have the 2016 Ram 1500. It has the lowest towing capacity of all three with a maximum of 8,780 pounds. But it still impresses truck drivers. Honestly, most drivers do not need more towing capacity than this. And veteran drivers of all three trucks admit that towing in all three is actually very similar. Best of all in the Ram 1500 is the Uconnect Access. This superior internal system allows drivers a WiFi hotspot, remote services, voice texting, a 911-call button, high-tech navigation, voice connectivity, and so much more. Plus it’s easy to use! Above standard towing, and an incredible navigation system, the 2016 Ram 1500 wins out.

At Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we love our RAM trucks. “Back in 2009, Dodge Ram separated so RAM could focus on perfecting trucks,” says Scott McCorkle, owner of Mount Airy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. Over the next several years, RAM trucks have soared. The 2016 Ram lineup includes the RAM 1500, RAM 2500, and RAM 3500.  Here is a little quiz in determining which truck is right for you: How will you use the truck? Personal Use or Work?

In Mount Airy, NC, you either need a truck or you want a truck. But which truck is best for you: 2016 RAM 1500, 2016 Ford F-150, or the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado. We of course love the 2016 Ram 1500, but let's compare all three. When considering the new RAM 1500, Ford F-150, and Chevy Silverado, it's notable that all three are durable machines made to handle heavy work loads and tough terrain. But when it comes down to it, you want the best for your money and time.  One that fits you and your needs, and can continue to do so year after year with minimal maintenance. Let's start with the least impressive of the three: the 2016 Chevy Silverado. Though this truck is impressive when compared to others, it just does not stand up to the RAM 1500 or Ford F-150. The biggest problem with the Chevrolet Silverado is that it tends to feel sluggish when pulling heavy loads, even though it does have 305 ft-lbs. of torque. In fact, out of all three, the 2016 Chevy Silverado has the lowest power output, despite its 285 horsepower. The 2016 Ford F-150 is next on the list. The new Ford F-150 comes with some fun features- mirror mounted spotlights, a trailer light check that is shown in the driver's information cluster, and a highly effective bed step that makes loading and unloading easy. And it has a strong powertrain that pulls exceptionally well. A few problems found though include loose steering, which can cause some control issues when driving at faster speeds, especially when hauling heavy materials, a lackluster interior, and its 253 ft-lbs. of torque and 282 horsepower just don’t match up to the RAM. Saving the best for last leaves us with the 2016 RAM 1500 as the winner. With 269 ft-lbs. of torque and 305 horsepower, the new RAM leads the pack in terms of power and performance, and is currently the only half-ton truck to offer a diesel engine. The interior is luxurious and roomy, and the frame and suspension are unbeatable. The 2016 RAM 1500's suspension actually levels out while the truck is moving to help the truck drive flat and smooth. Take one test drive and it will be clear: the 2016 RAM 1500 is the complete package. You can schedule a test drive at www.clickmountairy.com.
