However, your Wrangler 4xe needs a network of charging stations that are beyond the beaten path. After all, that is where you are supposed to take your Wrangler 4xe. That is why Jeep and Electrify America are installing Level 2 charging stations at Jeep Badge of Honor off-road trailheads around the country over the next 12 months. The first ones will open this spring in Moab in Utah, the Rubicon Trail in California, and Big Bear in California. These charging stations will either be connected to a nearby power grid or use solar power to help charge up your Wrangler 4xe. If you have the custom app that goes with your Wrangler 4xe, you can get charged up for no additional charge at these specific charging stations. If you do not find one on your trail, there is always a level 2 charger near you – even right here in the Twin Ports area. Imagine earning 49 MPGe with 21 miles of all-electric range and no tailpipe emissions from the all-conquering Wrangler 4xe. It is a feat for conservation lovers and adventure seekers.

Eighty years ago, the war-ready Jeep led the way in returning freedom to the globe. In order to accomplish their mission, its occupants had the freedom of one less obstacle in order to accomplish their mission – a door. It was no accident that eighty years ago, the war-ready Jeep was produced without doors. Today, the Jeep Wrangler is mandated by safety regulations to be produced with them on. However, you can remove them, which is quite easy to do. Between manufacturing mandates and the absolute freedom to roam anywhere, there is also the long-standing tradition of compromise. You can now have your Jeep Wrangler with the Dual-Door Group. It is a factory option with half-doors and a choice of upper-window assemblies. This option is from the Jeep Performance Parts arm of Mopar. These are not just an add-on accessory. These half-doors were engineered, tested and backed by the factory. The result is a door that enhances the Jeep Wrangler driving experience with production styling, security and occupant protection. With lower window ledges, new half doors provide improved visibility while maneuvering on and off road across northern Wisconsin and Minnesota. New upper-window assemblies create a weather-tight seal and feature zippered plastic windows for quick, easy removal. Two materials are offered for the assemblies: base-model vinyl that matches the production soft-top roof or premium acrylic that matches the premium soft-top roof. Each upper-door frame section uses an easy, tool-free, dual-guide post feature for easy installation and removal. You can now order the Dual Door Group option on both two- and four-door Wranglers in Sport, Rubicon, Sahara, Rubicon 392, and 4xe models. When ordered with your new Wrangler, they are backed by the full factory warranty. There is nothing like a Jeep that gives you the absolute freedom to go anywhere. Contact us at Superior Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram to get your Wrangler with the Dual Door Group today!

Back in 1963, Jeep introduced the Wagoneer as their family adventurer designed to go anywhere no matter the terrain or weather. It became an icon. A legend for families on the go in the Twin Ports area and across the Upper Midwest as it found adventure along the way. Today, the Wagoneer name has returned. It has been re-imagined as the pinnacle of Jeep’s off-road capability in a luxurious, spacious, and highly capable vehicle. In fact, the Grand Wagoneer of the 1980s started the entire luxury SUV segment. The 2022 Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are within months of arrival here in the Twin Ports. It is a return to its roots, while being advanced and beyond one’s imagination. That starts with a design that is uniquely American. Upright, strong, and full of details that makes it distinctive beyond any SUV sold here in the Twin Ports. Technology is on full display in the Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. Top-of-the-line models will offer 75 inches of total screen display both front and back, with nearly 45 inches of screens in the front instrument panel alone. This includes a passenger display with functions to help the driver with navigation and entertainment. All of this will be driven by the new Uconnect 5 system that includes Wi-Fi capability, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration with multiple and simultaneous connectivity. Rear seat passengers will be entertained by the first installation of Amazon’s Fire TV for Auto, bringing you thousands of movies, TV shows, and apps to your Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer. The Wagoneer lineup is powered by a 392-horsepower 5.7-liter V8 with a 48-volt starter-generator that is designed for better performance and greater efficiency. The Grand Wagoneer gets a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 with 471 horsepower on tap. This engine will provide you with maximum towing capacity. An eight-speed automatic will mate these engines to a rear-drive architecture with a choice of three four-wheel-drive systems available. With the return to a body-on-frame construction, it also delivers on class-leading towing capacity – up to 10,000 pounds. Quadra-Drive II will feature an active low range and rear electronic limited-slip differential. It will also feature a crawl ratio of 48:1 with the Select-Terrain traction management system. This will provide you with great control off road navigating steep or rocky terrains.  The Wagoneer will also ford up to 24 inches of water. You can also access the Quadra-Lift air suspension that will automatically raise and lower the Wagoneer, providing up to 10 inches of ground clearance. This re-imagined icon proves that you can have it all with everything you dreamed of. Also, you do not have to head to the Twin Cities to acquire the finest vehicle in its class. The Detroit-produced Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer will be available at Superior Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram this summer. You can reserve yours at wagoneer.com Don’t forget to contact us for more information and to help you facilitate the delivery of your new Wagoneer or Grand Wagoneer.

The greatest off-road vehicle ever is ready to be plugged in! Introducing the 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4Xe – the first electrified Jeep with benchmark capability for all conditions and terrains. On the outside, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe looks like every other Jeep. There are a few differences, however. There is an extra door for the plug to go into. Plus, you will find 4xe decals and badges to distinguish this electrified Wrangler from all others in the Northwoods. Perhaps a few new easter eggs for you to find! The real magic lies underneath the Wrangler 4xe’s hood. It combines a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with two electric motors and a high-voltage battery pack. In all, there is 375 total horsepower along with instant torque from the electric motors. The result is an all-electric range of 25 miles combined with delivering around 50 MPGe. You have the convenience of a traditional gasoline powered Jeep. More low down torque than the 3.0L diesel engine.  And, the ability to crawl through the woods, or the city in absolute silence! Make no mistake that this is truly a Trail Rated Jeep Wrangler. While the engine is efficient, the four-wheel drive system keeps it on the trail. Just like a "normal" Wrangler, the 4xe has a two-speed full-time four-wheel-drive system with solid front and rear axles and fully articulating suspension. While it has a 30-inch wading depth, the battery pack located underneath the second row of seats is protected from any damage from water and terrain. The big payoff is that you can drive this Wrangler 4xe without emitting any exhaust into the Twin Ports air above. You can do that with the open-air feeling only a Wrangler can give you. The Wrangler 4xe driveline will be available on Sahara, Rubicon, and High Altitude models. Contact us at Superior Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram to become one of the first owners in the Twin Ports of the game-changing Wrangler 4xe.
