While we are in the middle of an enjoyable summer here in the Twin Ports area, we will be soon turning our attention to winter.
Actually, that reminder came from the media members of the New England Motor Press Association. They announced the winners of a series of awards based on winter driving and evaluation. These winners may come as no surprise for us up here in the Twin Ports.
NEMPA named the Ram 1500 TRX their Official Winter Truck of New England. The TRX was joined by the Chrysler Pacifica as best-in-class among People Movers and the Jeep Gladiator in their Mid-Size Pickup truck class.
These winners are chosen by jurors representing print, television, digital and radio media outlets from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. While one can compare their winter conditions to ours, their authority and experience helps us to pick the right vehicles to handle everything we put it through – all year round.
Why Ram and Jeep Won
The Ram 1500 TRX is a great choice for this award. In fact, we should call it our Official Winter Truck of the Twin Ports. The higher ground clearance, off-road rated tires, and the power of a 702-horsepower supercharged 6.2-liter Hellcat V8 are what you need to handle the worst snow days we can get. There is nothing but power and traction that gives the Ram 1500 TRX no challenge for our climate.
We can say the same with the Jeep Gladiator. Jeeps are proven masters in conquering winter weather. The Gladiator adds pickup truck utility, along with proven four-wheel drive capability and ruggedness to handle snow days and snow plows.
As our own favorite People Mover in the Twin Ports, the Chrysler Pacifica heralds the return of all-wheel drive to our lineup. The electronic system keeps the Pacifica on the road by ensuring that traction is available at all corners. Not to mention, you have a choice of models that range from nice to elegant to handle our winter school runs.
All three of these vehicles are available at Superior Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, we will order the one you want – just for you!
