This is the newest generation of the most awarded SUV ever – the 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. This will be one of a family of Grand Cherokee models to be introduced over the next several months. This one will feature a third row of seating, a longer wheelbase, and an advanced design to fit this next chapter of the iconic family SUV. Riding on a new 121.7-inch wheelbase, the three-row Grand Cherokee L can seat up to seven passengers. Getting to the third row will be helped with longer rear side doors enabling access to both the second and third rows. The Grand Cherokee L is built on a brand new unibody structure. Though it has grown a third row of seats, the new Grand Cherokee L retains all of Jeep’s DNA, including excellent four-wheel-drive traction. Customers have a choice of three four-wheel-drive systems: Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II, and Quadra-Drive II. These systems are also augmented by the Selec-Terrain traction management system and the available Quadra-Lift air suspension. Combined, the Grand Cherokee L will be able handle anything from the Upper Peninsula and the Boundary Waters. Two engines will be available at launch: the 290-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and the 357-horsepower 5.7-liter V8. Both engines will be mated to the TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic. The Grand Cherokee L will also feature a front-axle disconnect which will automatically cancel the use of the front axle when only two wheels need to be driven instead of four. The new Grand Cherokee L will be a technological feast for the eyes and ears. The new Uconnect 5 infotainment system will be featured in this newest SUV in a new 10-inch touchscreen, along with available audio systems from audiophile specialist McIntosh. Included in the Uconnect 5 will be a segment first wireless smartphone integration for Apple and Android devices. The instrument cluster will be housed in a new 10-inch screen that is customizable to the driver. A new Head-up Display will be added to select models. Safety is also highlighted in the new Grand Cherokee L. Among these are L2 driver-assisted systems with hands-on automated driving. Other features also include a 360-degree surround view and night vision cameras. These are among 110 safety and driver-assistance features on the new Grand Cherokee L. The first Grand Cherokee L models will arrive by mid-year here at Superior Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, followed by a two-row new-generation Grand Cherokee and a 4xe electrified version by the end of this year.

The Northwoods will never be the same. We showed the concept, you demanded we produce it.  So here it is the new 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392! No off-road park is safe from the fury of the most-powerful Wrangler ever created. Or, hear it coming down the trail. Not to mention, this is the first V8-powered Jeep Wrangler in 40 years. This Jeep packs major power. The 6.4-liter V8 engine – exactly 392 cubic inches in displacement – packs 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. This power is ripe for off-road adventures by offering greater off-road capability with greater approach and departure angles, suspension articulation, maneuverability and water traversing up to 32.5 inches. And, it does so rapidly. The Wrangler Rubicon 392 was clocked going 0-60 MPH in just 4.5 seconds. All of this matched to an eight-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission. The Wrangler Rubicon 392 is Trail Rated capability in any condition with Selec-Trac two-speed transfer case and an intuitive full-time four-wheel-drive. The system includes a heavy-duty wide track Dana 44 axles with Tru-Lok electronic locking differentials and electronic front sway-bar disconnect. Plus, it has a 48:1 crawl ratio to tackle steep grades and technical maneuvers. To accommodate the new powerful V8, the Wrangler Rubicon 392 features upgraded frame rails, factory 2-inch lift, unique suspension geometry, heavy-duty brakes and FOX high-performance shocks enable improved off-road performance, handling and durability. 33-inch tires on 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels are standard on this Rubicon 392. Aggressive, functional exterior appointments distinguish the Wrangler Rubicon 392 from mere mortal Jeeps. These appointments include active dual-mode exhaust sound and unique quad tailpipes. Functional hood scoop feeds cool, outside air to the V-8 engine through a Tri-level Hydro-Guide™ air intake system can channel up to 15 gallons of water a minute away from engine. Plus, a secondary air path built into the hood allows engine to power the Wrangler Rubicon 392 up to top speed even if the hood scoop is completely obscured by mud, snow or debris. Inside the Wrangler Rubicon 392’s cabin is a competition-inspired leather-wrapped steering wheel featuring an aggressive rim section for extra grip and ergonomic comfort. A pair of aluminum paddle shifters mark a first for any Wrangler. The seats Competition-inspired leather-wrapped steering wheel features an aggressive rim section for extra grip and ergonomic comfort; aluminum paddle shifters are a first for Wrangler. The front seats are equipped with performance-inspired, integrated upper bolsters, keeping both the driver and passenger comfortably secure.

What’s new for 2021? This year, Chrysler, Jeep, and Ram will be bringing out two awesome vehicles for you to check out. One is an updated version of the Twin Ports’ favorite family hauler; the other is the most anticipated pickup truck in America. Let’s start with one of the most important pickup trucks for 2021 – the Ram 1500 TRX. Powered by a 702-horsepower supercharged Hellcat HEMI V8, this off-road pickup truck is the fastest one on any terrain. This truck does not stop with just the Hellcat. The frame was beefed up to not only handle this kind of power, but the new suspension set up to keep all that power down on all terrain conditions. You can also see the distinctive body with its aggressive hood scoop, flowthrough “RAM” lettering on the grille, and raised overall height. The ground clearance of 11.8 inches is augmented with a 13-inch front suspension travel and a 14-inch rear suspension travel. All of which are designed to absorb everything from rocks to ruts to the roads of the Twin Ports. Plus, there are eight drive modes to choose from – including Snow, Rock, and Mud and Sand – all will be useful here in Northern Wisconsin and up in the Iron Range. The 2021 Chrysler Pacifica is more than just a new face and a few updates all around. Our popular minivan will be the first vehicle to receive the fifth-generation of the UConnect infotainment system. It will feature an easier user interface, along with expanded connectivity options.

When it comes to pickup truck interiors, there is nothing quite like the Ram 1500.

There are plenty of pickup trucks that claim they can master the rough stuff. Through rutted trails across the Northern Wisconsin woods and extreme rock hopping found near the Iron Range, some pickup trucks can handle these conditions. Others simply can’t cut the mustard. Then again, none of these pickup trucks can match the built-in capability of a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. That is why Four Wheeler magazine named the Gladiator Rubicon their 2020 Pickup Truck of The Year. In citing the reason for awarding the Gladiator Rubicon this great award, Ken Brubaker of Four Wheeler magazine stated that “the new Jeep Gladiator is the truck many buyers have been waiting years for. After a week of testing in a variety of challenging environments, the Gladiator proved that it is all truck and all Jeep, which is a formidable combination. Mix in the impressive Rubicon package that includes Tru-Lok differential lockers, Rock-Trac transfer case with 4:1 low range, front disconnecting stabilizer bar and full skid plating, and it’s clear the Gladiator is at the front of the class.” While it is already Trail Rated, the Gladiator Rubicon adds signature red tow hooks, Rock-Trac 4x4 system, featuring a two-speed transfer case with a 4:1 low-range gear ratio, front and rear heavy-duty Dana 44 axles, Tru-Lok electric front- and rear-axle lockers, segment-exclusive electronic sway bar disconnect, cab and bed rock rails and standard 33-inch Falken Wildpeak All-Terrain off-road tires. This complete package is built to be ready for anything. On top of all of this, the Gladiator Rubicon is rated with the highest towing rating and payload in its class. Not only can it master the rough stuff, it can also bring more to do the job. If this is the right mid-size pickup truck for you, check out the Jeep Gladiator at Superior Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. Take one for a test drive and see why it has become the perfect pickup truck for the Twin Ports area and beyond! Contact us to set up an appointment. We look forward to meeting you!

Car and Driver magazine does not believe in giving one award every year. They give out ten for their 10Best list. Over the years, they recognize the reality of the automotive world, as they now include trucks and SUVs to their prestigious list. Lucky for us at Superior Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, the editors at Car and Driver added the Ram 1500 and Jeep Gladiator to their 10Best Cars and Trucks for 2020 list. The magazine evaluates each contender in comparison to its peers using a 100-point scale. Each score is based on the following categories: Intended Purpose, Value, and Vehicle Operation. This is the second consecutive year that the Ram 1500 was named on the 10Best list in the full-size pickup category. Its advanced engineering and technology, the editors of Car and Driver cited that Ram created it by “envisioning the light-duty pickup as a luxurious yet utilitarian carrier of families, fertilizer, and dreams.” Ram accomplished this by offering a fully independent suspension, the availability of four-corner automatic air suspension, a 12-inch UConnect infotainment screen and the addition of eTorque to its standard 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, along the return of the EcoDiesel to the Ram 1500 lineup. The new Jeep Gladiator was named to the list in the mid-size pickup category in its first model year. Car and Driver described the Gladiator as a “a convertible pickup wagon dreamed up in the vein of an 83-function Swiss Army knife for the road.” Still, the Gladiator offers the most towing and payload capacity in its class. Plus, the EcoDiesel is coming soon, which will give the Gladiator the most torque among mid-size pickup trucks. Twin Ports vehicle owners always love a winner.

Jeep was born on the battlefield, fighting for world peace and freedom. These tough and nimble vehicles have served our armed forces since 1941. In war and in peace, Jeep was there. And, now, it will return to duty. In conjunction with AM General, the leading manufacturer of light tactical vehicles, Jeep will be back for service as the Gladiator Extreme Military-Grade Truck (XMT). This is not the first time Jeep and AM General worked together on vehicles for our armed forces. In fact, both names have been linked since World War II putting Jeeps into service to transport troops, material, and for reconnaissance use. The Jeep Gladiator was seen as the right fit for use in the armed forces due to its built-in capabilities – class-leading payload of 1,600 pounds and a towing capacity up to 7,650 pounds, tough body-on-frame construction, and standard four-wheel-drive system. AM General will take the Jeep Gladiator and build upon its capabilities towards field readiness. They have identified a series of parts and accessories that will build upon the truck’s tough platform. These parts will include tactical communications and upfitting of military-grade parts for protection and security of the truck while in service. The Gladiator XMT could be put to use as a reconnaissance vehicle, a troop carrier, a mobile communications base, and so forth. Given the experience AM General had with the Humvee, the Jeep Gladiator is seen as a newer, lighter tactical vehicle for use with not only our own armed forces, but for other countries, as well. The vehicle has built-in capabilities that can tackle extreme terrain wherever it is put into service – from the deserts of the Middle East to the jungles of sub-Saharan Africa to the proving grounds of our armed forces back on home soil. The Jeep Gladiator XMT will be sold in either gasoline or diesel versions for defense contracts here and worldwide. The Jeep Gladiator is ready for duty right here on the homefront. Superior Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram welcomes our veterans and active duty members of our armed forces in the Twin Ports area and beyond to check out this capable pickup truck.

Every November in Las Vegas the annual Specialty Equipment Marketing Association (SEMA) show showcases the latest in vehicle parts and accessories for customers wanting more from their current ride. MOPAR is there every year showcasing our latest for our Jeep and Ram customers to customize their rides with thousands of options for optimal individualization. How MOPAR presents their ideas at SEMA is through taking our current lineup and creating a rolling showcase of what’s possible to fit your lifestyle with your chosen vehicle. This year, MOPAR presented two different concepts – a Ram 1500 and a Jeep Wrangler. Each one provided a canvas to showcase ideas on making the overlanding experience better in a MOPAR vehicle. For example, MOPAR took a Ram 1500 Rebel and made it into the OTG (Off the Grid) Concept. Our most capable full-sized half-ton pickup truck can tackle the trails of Northern Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the Upper Peninsula with its excellent suspension set-up and a choice of power – including the EcoDiesel engine – to get you where you want to go. In the Ram 1500 Rebel OTG Concept, MOPAR added a two-inch lift kit, beadlock wheels and 35-inch Goodyear tires for greater grip on many surfaces. MOPAR did not stop there. They also added a front bumper with integrated winch, a larger grille with flow-through R-A-M badging and a functional snorkel air intake to improve off-road capability and performance. Front- and rear-wheel flares and step assist rock rails have been installed to protect the vehicle while traversing rough terrain. A concept rear bumper, adapted from the Ram 1500 Tradesman, improves the departure angle of the truck by relocating the exhaust. Helped by Ram’s unique multifunction tailgate with 60/40 split swing-away doors, the bed of the truck has been accessorized to offer versatile utility for extended adventures. A bed rack system fits atop the truck bed, carrying a collapsible rooftop tent, which can be accessed via a stowable ladder. Enhancing the overlanding experience, inside the truck bed there is a retractable battery-powered cooler and kitchen unit with a gas-powered stove and sink with an on-board water system. An added rack structure is mounted above the cab to provide additional storage space for tools and equipment. A solar panel set, which can be deployed at any moment to generate electricity, and a backup power supply eliminates the need for a gas-powered generator, freeing cargo capacity.  A concept hide-away bed step in the rear makes loading and unloading easier. The concept truck is also equipped with an on-board air compressor in the bed cargo area. For vehicle recovery and extraction, the OTG is equipped with an integrated front bumper winch, traction mats attached to the rack system, and a high-lift jack for uneven ground mounted on the top of the cab. To make the dark campsite brighter while night camping, LED off-road driving lamps are mounted on the front bumper. Also, supplemental LED backup lamps have been incorporated into the rear bumper and task lighting has been attached to the rear rack system for nighttime campsite illumination. While the Ram 1500 is already a great pickup truck for work and play, the parts department at Superior Jeep-Ram can help you take your Rebel to the next level with available MOPAR accessories as listed above. Our service department can help you put these on to your Ram 1500 Rebel, as well. MOPAR did not stop with just the Ram 1500 Rebel. They added more than 200 accessories for the Jeep Wrangler. MOPAR showed off a concept based on the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon accessorized with concept tube door mirrors and door skins. The vehicle also features a one-piece stamped steel front bumper with integrated fog lamps, tow hooks on the top and “D-ring” attachments at the bottom. The bumper is a Mopar production part and currently available to consumers. The vehicle is also equipped with a two-inch lift kit, Mopar cold-air intake and Mopar Warn winch kit to showcase some of the customization options that are only possible in the Jeep Wrangler. The parts department at Superior Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is your source for MOPAR parts and accessories for your Ram or Jeep.
