This Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram post is about two things you would not think go together but do. The Gladiator, the world’s most off-road capable mid-size truck, is now available in Tuscadero. Tuscadero is a metallic hot pink exterior color that adds a bold and distinctive look to the rugged truck. This exciting combination is a result of the feedback and requests from Jeep customers. A Surprising Hit Tuscadero debuted in 2021 as part of a collection of vivid limited-edition colors for the Wrangler, including Gobi, Gecko Chief, and Nacho. The response was overwhelming, with over 30,000 Jeep customers placing orders for a Wrangler in Tuscadero. Due to popular demand, Tuscadero is making a limited return on both the Gladiator and Wrangler and will be available at Benna DCJR and other dealerships this summer. Don't miss your chance to own this exclusive color! “Our passionate Jeep fans asked for this limited-run color on Gladiator. We heard them,” said Bill Peffer, Senior Vice President and Head of Jeep Brand – North America. "Now Gladiator is both the only pickup to deliver open-air freedom and the only pickup available in Tuscadero.” Tough Truck, Audacious Color The color will be available through the end of the 2024 model year as an $895 option on Gladiator Sport, Mojave, and Rubicon, with likely expansion to additional trims. Another new color, Anvil, a clear coat gray reminiscent of U.S. Navy ships, has also been added. Built on an extended Wrangler platform, the Gladiator was designed from the beginning to be the most off-road capable pickup in Jeep’s history. It comes standard with a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine, rated at 285 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. Rubicon models boast an 11.1-inch minimum ground clearance, a payload of 1,725 pounds, and a maximum towing capacity of 7,000 pounds. It is also the only pickup available as an open-air vehicle with three types of removable roofs, removable doors, and a drop-down front windshield. It is, in short, the only pickup that can pull off a Tuscadero exterior, which even Jeep describes as “audacious.” Surprisingly Sophisticated Despite its rugged capability, the Gladiator is also notably refined. It has a best-in-class 12.3-touchscreen, run by the well-regarded Uconnect5 operating system, which includes wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. New for 2024 on Sport S and above are forward collision warning, advanced cruise control, and, for all models, second-row side curtain airbags—a truly unique feature on an open-air capable model. It is also worth mentioning that the Gladiator was also ranked No. 1 for new-vehicle quality among midsize trucks in the J.D. Power 2023 U.S. Initial Quality Study (IQS). Come to Benna CDJR to see the Gladiator in Tuscadero, Anvil, or any of its other eight exterior colors.

Thirty years ago, the Dodge Ram 1500 had a radical redesign. A large, imposing grille with the brand’s traditional cross-hair design was upfront. The fenders on each side were significantly lower and housed the headlights, giving the front end the appearance of a semi-tractor. Many called it the big-rig look. In addition to boosting Ram sales, the look inspired the styling of its rivals. They didn’t copy the big-rig looks so much as they tried to out-macho each other. Now, almost every full-size Ford, GM, or Toyota truck looks ready to either devour or just beat up whatever is in front of them. Ram has already stepped away from the trend it started, trading brutality for refinement, and the design tweaks of the new 2025 Ram 1500 further that direction. And yet, the truck is tougher than ever, thanks in part to a new family of engines replacing the former Hemi V-8s. Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram invites you to read this brief rundown on the new 2025 Ram 1500. Outside, the changes are few. The grille and headlights have been finessed for a more integrated appearance, there are new grille mesh treatments on certain models, and the lower front appearance has been de-cluttered. The refined look visually represents the critically acclaimed ride quality of its double control-arm front and five-link solid rear axle supported by coil springs. This arrangement has put the Ram 1500 on Car and Driver’s 10 Best list for multiple years in a row, among other accolades. But let’s begin with the significant changes under the hood. Smaller Engine, Greater Power All Ram engines will now have six cylinders. The current 305-hp Pentastar 3.6-liter V-6 continues to be the base engine. Above that, everything has changed. Replacing the former 5.2-liter V-8 is the Hurricane aluminum 3.0-liter twin-turbo straight-six. The engine produces 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. That is 25 more horsepower and 50 more lb-ft of torque than the 5.7-liter V-8 it replaces. The two turbos spool up quickly as each only has three cylinders to fill, so the peak torque arrives at a very accessible 3,500 rpm. Paired to the engine is the familiar 8-speed Torqueflite automatic. Despite the added power, the EPA combined estimate for the powertrain with 4WD is two more miles per gallon than the V-8 at 24. At the top of the Ram 1500 engine hierarchy is the High-Output Hurricane, which remains at 3.0 liters but increases turbo boost from 22 to 28 psi to produce 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft. The engine also features forged aluminum pistons, revised ignition coils, and upgraded fuel injectors to handle the increased power. The smooth 8-speed Torqueflite transmission handles this engine as well. New Tech and New Heights of Luxury Inside Like the exterior, the interior design is refined rather than redone. Formerly an upgrade, the 8.4-inch touchscreen is now standard, with touchscreens measuring 12 inches or more available on other models. The big screens are positioned in a portrait format and are powered by the latest version of the intuitive Uconnect system. All models have wireless Apple CarPlay ® and Android Auto TM. Ram positions convenient physical controls on each side of the screen for temperature, fan speed, defrost, and other functions. Now at the top of the 1500 range, the Tungsten model transforms the 1500 into a full-fledged luxury vehicle with an open bed in the back. While lower models already offer leather, the Tungsten takes it up a notch with quilted leather seats that are heated and ventilated, complete with massaging. The center features a 14.2-inch touchscreen, and the front passenger gets their own 10.25-inch touchscreen to control the 23-speaker 1,228-watt Klipsch-branded audio system. These interior upgrades truly elevate the 2025 Ram 1500's luxury and comfort. “Tougher and more refined” defines the new 2025 Ram 1500 model lineup, and Ram is betting that it is exactly what you want in your next or first pickup.

Benna Chrysler, Dodge Jeep Ram is thrilled to share that two of its esteemed brands, Ram and Dodge, have been honored with prestigious awards from Kelley Blue Book and its Consumer Choice Awards. Ram has been recognized as the Best Overall Truck Brand, while Dodge has been lauded as the Best Car Styling Brand for a non-luxury brand, an award it has won five times in the past six years. These accolades hold immense value as they are a testament to the exceptional quality and design of our vehicles, as acknowledged by the consumers themselves. The Kelley Blue Book Consumer Choice Awards are a true testament to the popularity and customer satisfaction of these two automotive brands. These awards are based on the data from their comprehensive Brand Watch study, which engages over 12,000 in-market new-vehicle shoppers annually through KBB.com. The study delves into the factors that drive purchase decisions, revealing brand and model familiarity and loyalty among new-car shoppers. This consumer-driven source makes these awards even more significant and meaningful. Ram: Best Overall Truck Brand The award comes at a good time for Ram as it prepares the launch of an extensively updated 2025 Ram 1500, which includes the debut of its 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 engine family. This model line is expected to surpass the performance of the brand’s previous V-8 offerings and includes a version to be rated at 540 horsepower. Other features to arrive with the 2025 truck include a 14-inch touchscreen, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and even an available 10.25-inch front passenger display, all using the latest Uconnect5 operating system. Other available features include a Head-up Display and the ability to use a smartphone as a key. Also on its way is the 2025 Ram 1500 REV full-size all-electric pickup, which is expected to launch in the fall of 2024. The truck, which intentionally resembles the conventional Ram 1500, is expected to have a standard 168 kilowatt-hour battery for an estimated range of 350 miles. Dual motors will produce 654 horsepower and 620 lb-ft of torque across all rpm. The truck will have a maximum payload capacity of 2,625 pounds and a maximum towing capacity of 14,000 pounds. Expected for the following year is an available 229-kilowatt-hour battery for an estimated range of 500 miles. Dodge: Best Car Styling Dodge reclaims this award in the same year it says farewell to its Charger and Challenger muscle car lines. Those consumers will not be disappointed by the return of the all-new Charger Daytona, which will be the world’s first EV muscle car upon its arrival. The car will be available initially as a 2-door coupe and later as a 4-door sport sedan, both carrying overt muscle car lines from Dodge’s past while looking thoroughly modern. The Charger Daytona will be a multi-energy model lineup, and following the EV introduction, a gas-powered version of the same will feature the Hurricane engine lineup. The 4-door body style will arrive at about the same time as both EV and gas drivetrains. Ram and Dodge are both part of the Stellantis brand family, which includes Chrysler and Jeep, each with its own exciting models. You can see them all at the appropriately named Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram store.

The Jeep Wagoneer dates back to 1962, long before the term SUV existed, and it continued largely unchanged for 30 years. The market for such a vehicle was very small back then, and the Wagoneer found itself a niche market of Field & Stream subscribers and people who visited their country homes on the weekend. After it was gone, Jeep resurrected the Wagoneer name briefly a couple of times, but it wasn’t until 2022 that Jeep brought the Wagoneer back to fill its original category as a full-size three-row SUV. In terms of sales and name recognition, its biggest competitor is the Chevrolet Tahoe, which first appeared just a few years after the original Wagoneer left. In this post from Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we compare the 2024 Wagoneer to the Tahoe. Wagoneer vs Grand Wagoneer Jeep created a little confusion when it introduced both the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. The Grand Wagoneer is on a whole different level in terms of luxury and is meant to compete against luxury-brand models, but its size is identical. However, there are longer versions of both models called the Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L, which are Suburban-sized. The Tahoe is simply a shorter version of the Suburban. Big News Smaller Engine Hood The biggest news for the 2024 Wagoneer is that its 5.7-liter V-8 has been replaced by the new Hurricane 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-6, the sole engine across the model line. The Hurricane significantly out-powers the V-8 with 420 horsepower and 486 lb-ft of torque. It also outpowers Tahoe’s standard 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft 5.3-liter V-8. Adding insult to industry, it also outpowers the Tahoe’s optional 6.2-liter V-8, which produces an identical 420 horsepower but falls short in torque with just 460 lb-ft. Conversely, the Tahoe’s available 3.0-liter turbodiesel bests the Hurricane with 495 lb-ft of torque but has significantly less horsepower. When comparing standard engines, the power differences are apparent in acceleration, with the Wagoneer showing 0-60 mph in 6.3 seconds compared to 7.5 for the Tahoe. It also makes itself known in towing capacity, which is up to 10,000 pounds for the Wagoneer compared to 7,800 lb for the standard-engined Tahoe, rising to 8,400 lb. with the optional diesel engine. The Wagoneer is also a little less thirsty with an EPA estimated city/highway/combined mpg rating of 16/19/23 for a 4WD mode versus 15/20/17 for the 5.3-liter V-8 4WD Tahoe. Combined with a larger fuel tank, this results in an estimated range of 610 miles in the Jeep versus 480 for the Chevy. However, the Tahoe’s optional turbo diesel takes the efficiency crown with 20/26/22. Of course, diesel is also 11% more expensive than regular gasoline on average in Wisconsin. You wouldn’t select either of these models for a run on the Rubicon Trail, but for the occasional excursion off-pavement and our abundant snow, 4WD is a $3,000 option for both models. If you need a two-speed transfer case, it is standard with 4WD on the Tahoe but comes to the Wagoneer via a Heavy-Duty Trailer-Tow Package that contributes to its large towing capacity mentioned above. The Great Indoors Both models specialize in vast interiors, with a seating capacity of eight, or seven if one opts for 2nd-row captain’s chairs. Adults will be perfectly fine in the 3rd row, though the Wagoneer’s 3rd-row legroom of 36.6 inches is 1.7 inches over the 3rd row in the Tahoe. With all the seat backs up, the Waggoner's 27 cubic feet of cargo space is one cubed foot over the Tahoe’s. That turns around when you start folding seats, and when turned into 2-seaters, the Tahoe has 123 cubic feet compared to 117 for the Wagoneer. The Wagoneer shares its dashboard layout with the Grand Wagoneer, while the Tahoe shares its with the Silverado pickup truck. The result is a decidedly more luxurious dashboard in the Jeep. The Wagoneer has a higher starting MSRP, which is close to the Tahoe LT, and one upgrade from the base LS. As such, both moth models are similarly equipped. Both have 10-inch touchscreens, onboard navigation systems, wireless smartphone compatibility, leather seating, and power adjustments for the driver and front passenger. There are trade-offs. For example, ventilated front seats are standard on the Wagoneer but need another upgrade for the Tahoe. While the base Wagoneer has a 10-speaker audio system, the Tahoe LT has a Bose ® -branded 9-speaker system. Of course, both models have trim hierarchies that add more features as you go. But overall, you will still get a better drivetrain and nicer interior with the Wagoneer. Visit Benna CDJR for a Wagoneer test drive and see if you don’t agree.

The midsize pickup truck has undergone a significant transformation in the past few years, with newly designed models from Ford, GM, Toyota, and Nissan. Yet, none of these new trucks has anything close to the character of the Jeep Gladiator, and of course, none of them are convertibles, either. Jeep’s pickup can do everything you need in a pickup while giving you a fun experience in every drive that those conventional trucks cannot approach. As of this writing, the 2024 Gladiators are still fresh in the Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram inventory, having started production in February 2024. These new models come with a host of new standard features, all without a price increase. Some of the notable additions include: 12.3-inch touchscreen with the Unconnect 5 operating systems First- and second-row side-curtain airbags (uncommon in a convertible. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Forward collision warning (Sport S and above), Advanced cruise control with stop (Sport S and above) Trails OffRoad, Jeep Adventure Guides built into the UConnect 5 Nav system (on Nav-equipped models) Gladiator trims include Sport, Sport S, Willys, Mojave, Rubicon, and new for 2024, the Mojave X and Rubicon X. All are powered by the Pentastar 3.6-liter V-6, which produces 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Almost unheard of in the industry anymore, every trim is available with a 6-speed manual or an available 8-speed Torqueflite transmission. The Mojave and Rubicon are evidence of Jeep’s understanding that all off-roading is not created equal. The subject of this post, the Mojave, specializes in carrying speed over sand and light off-road terrain, which may mark it as the most fun-loving trim in the lineup. By contrast, the Rubicon’s specialty is crawling over very rough terrain at slow speeds. That is not to say that the Mojave can’t do the slow, rough stuff. Its 11.6-inch ground clearance is up for it, as are the 44.7° approach, 20.9° break-over, and 25.5° departure angles. The Rubicon will just have an easier time of it. But you can lose the Rubi in the sand. The differences lie in the chassis, where the Mojave features 2.5-inch aluminum internal bypass shocks with external reservoirs for additional heat management and overall higher-speed suspension tuning. The Rubicon has a lower crawl ratio, a front locking differential (both have rear lockers), a swaybar disconnect, and high-pressure gas-charged monotube shocks with hydraulic rebound stops. The Mojave X and Rubicon X are similarly equipped, but simply add every option available. The Gladiator shares the Wrangler’s dash design, which combines the usefulness of the large touchscreen with an impressive array of analog gauges and physical controls, including one to turn the screen off if you don’t want the distraction. When it comes to truck duty, the Gladiator Mojave will carry 1,100 pounds and can tow 6,000 pounds with the 8-speed automatic. If you need greater capacity, it will cost you less, rather than more, as the entry-level Sport can carry 1,725 pounds or tow 7,700 pounds. In short, the Gladiator is an extraordinarily capable mid-size pickup that gives you a sense of being in something special every time you get in. It can also give you thrills like no other when the roof is removed, and you are speeding from one dune to the next. If any of these special pickups sound like what you would like in your next truck, visit Benna CDJR for a test drive. Have fun!

The 2025 Ram 1500 is quickly becoming all the rage among those looking to buy a new truck. Trucks are a major staple in general these days, and engineering a new truck that can outwork the competition is getting tougher and tougher. However, Ram has successfully won MotorTrend’s Truck of the Year award eight times since 1994, with six of those awards being from 2013 to the present. And certainly, a possible shoo-in for Truck of the Year is the 2025 Ram 1500 RHO. All-New Performance With a starting price of $69,995, the all-new Ram 1500 RHO gives buyers the all-new 3.0-liter Hurricane High Output (H/O) Straight-Six Turbo (SST), which produces 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque. Ram claims this will allow the RHO to get from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds and to 100 mph in only 11.7 seconds. The Ram RHO can also get through the ¼-mile in 13.1 seconds at 105 mph. A Word From Ram CEO “The 2025 Ram 1500 RHO is the latest result of a relentless pursuit to engineer, design and deliver a truck that charges into the segment head down and horn up,” said Tim Kuniskis, Ram Brand CEO – Stellantis. “All that we’ve learned from developing every truck in Ram’s legendary lineup has led us to the most capable light-duty pick-up truck, offering the best value with more horsepower per dollar than any other off-road truck.” Truck Capabilities It isn’t all about speed and performance, though, as the Ram RHO will have a towing capacity of 8,380 lbs, a maximum payload of 1,520 lbs, and as much as 32 inches of water fording. It's super fast and still very practical. The RHO will be the most powerful 6-cylinder truck in the segment. And thanks to that new H/O SST, the RHO is 150 lbs lighter than previous performance Ram models, which will aid in giving it better driving dynamics and overall balance. New Transfer Case & Low Range A brand new BorgWarner 48-13 full-time active transfer case has been added to ensure no off-road or inclement weather conditions will hamper its abilities and performance. A low range of 2.64:1 allows the RHO to go rock-crawling out of the box, and it can be flat-towed in neutral without harming anything. Suspension Upgrades New Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive performance shocks, the shocks on the Ram RHO, coupled with independent front suspension, are able to continuously adjust the damping forces for excellent body control and terrain isolation. The special Bilsteins can seamlessly adapt to on- and off-road driving to maintain the utmost comfort and performance handling. Thanks to an innovative design, the rear suspension allows the RHO to have 14 inches of rear axle travel, which is 40% greater than all other Ram 1500 models. Ride Height The 2025 Ram RHO has been given a 2-inch increase in ride height and 35-inch tires. This means the new RHO's ground clearance is a very respectable 11.8 inches. Interior Displays The driver and front passenger have also been given attention with 12-way power and leather front seats with memory and massage functions. Front passengers will also have dual wireless phone chargers. The RHO has over 50 inches of total screens in the cabin, including a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 14.5-inch touchscreen infotainment display, a 10.25-inch passenger display that is only visible to the front passenger and has three primary functions: co-pilot which displays the navigation and device management, entertainment via the HDMI port, and the ability to view all of the external cameras. A user-configurable head-up display can be as large as 10 inches and give the driver all permanent information available while driving, including navigation and adaptive cruise control, among other features. Special Features The 2025 Ram 1500 will feature a new Level 2+ hands-free driving assist system that allows drivers to go hands-free on certain roads, center the truck in the lane, and slow the vehicle when driving on curvy roads. Sitting below the infotainment screen will be an RHO-exclusive multifunction switch bank and the available Trailer Reverse Steer Control. 2025 Ram 1500 models can be optioned with a 900-watt Harman Kardon 19-speaker sound system with a 10-inch subwoofer. Availability Production of the 2025 Ram RHO will be in Sterling Heights, Michigan, and will arrive at Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in the third quarter of 2024. At Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we offer our customers some of the best prices and services. With dozens of new and used vehicles to choose from, our excellent sales team and finance department will work hard to make sure you drive away happy. And our fantastic service department will take care of your new-to-you vehicle as if it were their own.

Every year in the spring, around Easter, Jeep and their loyal fans head to Moab, Utah, to begin the festivities of the Easter Jeep Safari. In 2024, it was the 58th time that Jeep enthusiasts and Jeep employees got together. Designers create their dream vision of various Jeep products to show off and get some input and inspiration from the fans on future accessories and styling features they like. This year, four unique concepts were used to show off the extraordinary creativity of the Jeep designers. Jeep Vacationeer Concept This vehicle's wild and custom Spearminted exterior color helps it stand out in any crowd. Custom flared wheel extensions help show off the 35-inch BFGoodrich mud-terrain tires mounted around 18-inch 701 Method racing wheels. Thanks to the wheels and tires, the Vactioneer gets a 1.5-inch lift and unique front and rear skid plates to protect everything underneath. A Warn winch mounted to the front can help give anyone a tow, including yourself, and three 11-inch TYRI LED lights sit on the roof to provide extra light in those nighttime off-roading situations. The 3.0-liter twin-turbo Hurricane inline-6 helps the Vactioneer Concept get moving with its 510 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. The second and third-row seats have been taken out in order to add a section on the roof for climbing into the tent. On top of the roof is a carbon fiber RedTail Overland Skyloft with climate control, enough space for two people, and panoramic viewing ability. Designer and Wagoneer enthusiast, Kiel James Patrick, tackled the front seats and gave them a special design that features classic Jeep vehicles within the pattern. “For over three decades, the Jeep Wagoneer has been more than just a vehicle to me; it has literally been part of the fabric of my life threaded through my most cherished journeys,” said Patrick. “As a designer and lifelong Jeep 4x4 owner, this was a dream project. I could not be more excited to honor the heritage and stories of the Jeep brand.” Jeep Wrangler Low-Down Concept To honor the Wrangler Lower 40 that debuted at the 43rd Safari, this year saw the creation of the Jeep Wrangler Low Down Concept. Where the Lower 40 featured 40-inch wheels, this concept sees 42-inch BFGoodrich Krawler 42x14.5R20 mud-terrain tires with 20-inch beadlock wheels and carbon fiber fender flares. Underneath, keeps the stock Rubicon 392 suspension since it’s already plenty capable. However, Dana 60 axles and 5.38 gears take over for the standard Dana 44 axles with 4.10 gears. The paint is Poison Apple Red, and the hood features a custom carbon fiber with a see-through power dome to show off the glorious 392. Inside, you will find black leather with cloth insert seats, Rhino-lined floors, and a radio-delete panel. Jeep Gladiator Rubicon High Top Concept The custom Ginger Snap metallic exterior paint is the first thing that stands out on the High Top Concept, as it looks like an ‘80s rock crawler. It rides on 40x13/5R18 BFGoodrich all-terrain T/A KO3 tires with 18-inch Satin Black KMC Grenade Crawl beadlock wheels. Much like the Low Down Concept, the High Top features Dana 60 axles with 5.38 gears. However, all to its own is the AccuAir adjustable air suspension that helps make tackling the Moab seem like child’s play. Under the hood is the venerable 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with an 8-speed automatic transmission. A tweaked American Expedition Vehicles front bumper with a Warn winch makes this Gladiator even more capable than it already was. A DECKED truck bed storage system gives the truck bed lockable sliding drawers. Inside, you will find retrimmed seats with custom quilting with perforated tan and black Alea leather with embossed JPP logos. JPP are the design and engineering teams from Mopar. Willys Dispatcher Concept The Willys Dispatcher Concept is a little bit of old meets new. First and foremost, the Willys Dispatcher is powered by the 2.0-liter plug-in hybrid 4xe powertrain with 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. The Willys features an Element 115 Green paint job. Dana 50 Advantech front and rear axles and 4.70 gears give power to the Super Traxion 36-inch tires with 16-inch steelie-style wheels. On the hood is “WILLYS” embossed on either side, and an 8274 Warn winch is attached to a custom classic-style front bumper with a Warn Epic Series winch hook and D rings. To round things out, the interior is retrimmed in distressed saddle leather and houndstooth cloth inserts, and the headrests have been removed for an old-school vibe. An air compressor comes with the Dispatcher Concept to help control tired pressures. At Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we offer our customers some of the best prices and services. With dozens of new and used vehicles to choose from, our excellent sales team and finance department will work hard to make sure you drive away happy. And our fantastic service department will take care of your new-to-you vehicle as if it were their own.

The Dodge Charger is back and better than ever. Sadly, the V8s are gone, but in their place are some very intriguing motors that create a lot of muscle without much effort. You will be able to get the Charger in either two or four doors, in hatchback form, with an EV or a twin-turbo inline-6 in Standard Output (S.O.) or High Output (H.O.). Every model will come with all-wheel drive available. Once you read about the power outputs, you’ll understand why drivers are going to need it. The biggest news about the 2024 and 2025 Dodge Charger is the introduction of electric motors. The 2024 Charger Daytona will have 496 horsepower in R/T trim via a Stage 1 kit from Dodge Direct Connection and 670 horsepower with the Stage 2 kit Scat Pack. These kits will only be available for the first model year cars in 2024. Both cars have a 100.5 kWh battery with an estimated range of 317 miles for the R/T and 260 miles for the Scat Pack. Dodge says the Charger Daytona Scat Pack will reach 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds. However, for 2025, when buying the R/T and Scat Pack, buyers must purchase the Direct Connection Stage 1 and Stage 2 kits. Without the kits, the power will be 456 horsepower for the R/T and 590 for the Scat Pack. “The electrified 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack delivers Charger Hellcat Redeye levels of performance and announces its presence through the world’s first Fratzonic Chambered Exhaust, while Hurricane engine-powered Dodge Charger SIXPACK models will give the Brotherhood of Muscle a gas option that produces better horsepower and torque numbers than the outgoing 5.7- and 6.4-liter HEMI engines,” said Tim Kuniskis, Dodge Brand Chief Executive Officer – Stellantis. “The next generation of Dodge muscle has arrived.” The Daytona R/T will ride on 18-inch wheels, while the Scat Pack will have 21-inch wheels. Both models have fully independent suspension, and an optional Track Pack adds adaptive dampers. For 2024, both cars will have Brembo brakes with 16.1-inch rotors. To help set both the R/T and Scat Pack apart on the inside, they will have different seating surfaces and screen sizes. The R/T will feature a 10.25-inch digital gauge cluster, whereas the Scat Pack will have a 16-inch screen. However, the R/T can be optioned with the larger screen. Both cars will have a 12.3-inch center infotainment display. A premium 18-speaker Alpine system and an augmented reality head-up display will be available to project a large field of view with virtual image distance. Buyers looking to get into a Charger with a gas motor will have to wait until 2025. The 2025 Charger will be called the Sixpack and is available in S.O. (standard output) and H.O. (high output). The only engine will be the amazing 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-6 Hurricane that will produce 420 horsepower in S.O. and 550 horsepower in H.O. Dodge Charger Daytona EV models will also have unique drive modes, which include Drag, Track, Drift, and Donut. Drift mode allows drivers to choose between three different slip angles, with torque being biased to the rear axle, and the front axle will maintain the slip angle. Donut mode will allow the Charger to spin only the rear wheels without the traction control trying to limit you. Daytona models will also feature a patent-pending Fratzonic Chambered exhaust system. This system will incorporate two passive radiators that will create Hellcat levels of sound. However, you can use Stealth Mode to avoid exhaust sound.

The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica is a minivan that is more than a people carrier. It is a safe, attractive, all-weather, and all-purpose vehicle that helps up to 8 passengers ride easily and comfortably. When Chrysler developed the minivan concept in the 1980s with the Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager, they never stopped reinventing the segment, which is what makes the Pacifica so beloved by journalists and customers. Who Is U.S. News & World Report? U.S. News & World Report is one of the leading publications that ranks everything from the best colleges in America, the best universities around the globe, to the best hospitals, states, cars, and much more. They have been a trusted source since 1948. Every year, they give out their best of awards, and this year, they chose the Chrysler Pacifica as the Best Minivan for their 2024 Best Cars for Families Awards. A Word From U.S. News “The 2024 Best Cars for Families winners offer a number of safety features and a comfortable ride for all passengers, making them ideal for daily commutes or family adventures,” said Liz Opsitnik, Executive Editor, U.S. News. In order to decide the 2024 Best Cars for Families award, U.S. News & World Report looks at their Best Car Rankings, which uses safety data, quality, estimated reliability, passenger and cargo space, plus the overall consensus of automotive journalists. Engine & Mileage The Pacifica is available as either a gas-only or hybrid vehicle. The gas model features a 3.6-liter V6 that produces 287 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. The Pacifica plug-in hybrid has the same 3.6-liter V6 but with 260 horsepower and two electric motors producing 84 horsepower and 114 horsepower. With 520 miles of range, the Pacific hybrid is fast becoming the segment’s favorite minivan. In pure electric mode, the vehicle can go 32 miles before the gas motor kicks in. The Pacifica is also available with all-wheel drive. According to the EPA, the front-wheel drive Pacifica models can get 19 mpg in the city and 28 on the highway. When AWD is equipped, that mileage drops slightly to 15 and 25. However, opting for the plug-in hybrid allows for 82 MPGe and 30 mpg combined between city and highway. For mothers and fathers who need to keep an eye on their children in the backseat, the Pacifica features a FamCam interior camera that gives a view of children in rear-facing child seats. With Stow ‘n Go seating, the Pacifica is never hurting for available space, and the seats won’t get in the way when stowed. Behind the third row of seats, you will find 32.3 cu.ft. of cargo space. Folding the third row opens that up to 87.5 cu.ft., and folding the second row of seats gives owners 140.5 cu.ft. of cargo capacity. The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety has given the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica their coveted Top Safety Pick award. This means that the Pacifica is not only one of the best offerings for families, according to U.S. News & World Report, but is verified as one of the safest family vehicles on the market by the IIHS.

There are countless crossover models and quite a few SUVs, and then there is the Wrangler. The Wrangler stands apart as it has always been designed with off-roading ability as the highest priority while still offering everything needed for an on-road vehicle.  The Wrangler had some very significant updates for the 2024 model year, and since they may not be evident at first glance, Benna CDJR wants you to know what they are. Slightly New Face Wrangler owners are as unique as their vehicle choice.  To start, they don’t really want the Wrangler to change that much in appearance.  So, while the face of the Wrangler has been updated, it is still instantly recognizable as a Wrangler with the trademark 7-slot grille and round headlights. The new shorter front fascia allows for more flexibility in front bumpers, including one on the Rubicon X, which can accommodate a factory installable 8,000-pound capacity Warn winch with up to a 100:1 crawl ratio. Enhanced Capability The Rubicon X also has a new Dana 44 HD full float solid rear axle that allows for tire upsizing by customers and up to 5,000-pound maximum towing. The axle design consists of a wheel hub assembly that is separate from the axle shaft, with a spindle bolted to the axle tube that supports the wheel hub via a pair of wheel bearings. The result is that the vehicle weight is transferred to the axle tube rather than the axle shaft itself, so the axle shaft is subjected only to torsional loads, with its sole function being to transmit power to the wheel hub. It also means the Rubicon X 4-door with the 2.0-liter or 36-liter powertrain now comes with standard 35-inch tires, a first for the Wrangler. New for the Willys grade is a Tru-Lok rear locking differential, steel rock rails, trailer tow, heavy-duty electrical group, and larger 33-inch tires (replacing previous 32-inch tires). The Willys 4xe also adds the Selec-Trac full-time transfer case with a 4LO ratio of 2.72:1. All Wranglers are convertibles in one way or another. The most straightforward means of open-air driving comes from the Sky One-Touch power top, which is now standard on the High Altitude model. This nearly full-length power cloth sunroof opens the cabin skyward with a simple button push. A Big New Touchscreen and Other Upgrades Standard on all new models is a revised dash featuring a 12.3-inch touchscreen.  Behind the screen is the critically acclaimed Uconnect 5 infotainment system augmented by wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Giving you something new to look at on that big screen is the factory application of Trails Offroad, which offers comprehensive off-road trail guides for the 62 Jeep ® Badge of Honor trails across the country. Though there are no Badge of Honor trails in Wisconsin or Minnesota as of yet, Michigan has the South Marble Head Loop and Holly Oands ORV Park. The inclusion of Badge of Honor Trails is standard, but a subscription offers Trail Offroad’s complete catalog of over 3,000 off-road trails, all of which can be followed on the big touchscreen. Two New Models The Wrangler model line also expands for 2024. The Rubicon X enhances the already capable Rubicon with the aforementioned 35-inch tires, steel bumpers, and an integrated off-road camera. Also new, the Sport S 4xe brings a lower entry price point for what is already the best-selling plug-in hybrid in the US. Newly available on all 4xe models is the Jeep power box that allows the 4xe battery to power external devices with four 120-volt outlets and 30 amps of total output. The Wrangler remains a unique vehicle with a rich past. It is more refined than it has ever been, but still keeps rugged capabilities that could hold it back from a luxury category.  But that is the sacrifice for having a whole world of non-paved surfaces to explore that other crossovers and SUVs can only view from a distance. If that sounds like the ride for you, check out the many Wrangler grades and configurations at Benna Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.
