A lot has changed in the last few years. While many parts of our lives have returned to normal, some things remain constant for the auto industry: shortages and delays. If you’ve been on the market for a new vehicle or need certain parts or repairs, you’ve probably noticed a massive shortage and increased wait times for service. At Benna CDJR, we understand how frustrating it can be to wait. In fact, we’ve been waiting, too! That’s why we’re here for you during these difficult times to make things just a little bit easier in any way we can.
Working Together
Why exactly is the auto industry still so affected by shortages and delays? The answer is more complicated than it might seem. Although things might be returning to normal around the world, there’s a lot of production to catch up on. Supplies need to be shipped and parts must be manufactured. However, shipping delays are also affecting timelines as companies struggle to find enough workers. Almost every industry is running short on drivers, warehouse employees, and logistics as they try to catch up. All of that translates to vehicle production. Manufacturers wait on their parts, work with fewer employees, and deal with delays in shipments as dealerships wait patiently for new vehicles to arrive.

As we all work with circumstances beyond our control, there is one thing we can guarantee, and that’s our commitment to our customers. Since there’s only so much we can do, the entire Benna CDJR team is dedicated to going above and beyond to show you, our customers, just how much we value you.

2023 Ram 1500 Classic Preview
The 2023 Ram 1500 Classic is an affordable, familiar truck – and that’s what makes it a classic! Part of the previous generation of Ram 1500 trucks, the Classic gets the job done without compromise. This workhorse of a truck provides the capability and durability you expect from a Ram without all the bells and whistles that come with newer vehicles. But what it lacks in technology, it more than makes up for in performance.
As the most affordable new pickup on the market, the Classic offers basic amenities like vinyl or cloth seating and three cab choices – regular, standard, or crew. A regular cab offers two doors, while the quad and crew have different four-door configurations for more seating. The different cabs also come with different bed lengths to perfectly suit your hauling needs. Trims are narrowed down to two choices for 2023, the Tradesman or SLT along with two powerful engine options with a V6 or V8. You can stick with the standard 26-gallon fuel tank, or upgrade to the 32-gallon for more drivability.
Inside, there are even more customization options, with a multitude of standard and available features. Being a Classic model, there are few tech features included, although you do have several options to upgrade. The Electronics Group bundle includes an upgraded 8.4-inch infotainment system compatible with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto that replaces the standard 5-inch touchscreen. There’s also an option for a Wi-Fi hotspot, an especially convenient function for work on the road. Other upgrade options include:
- Interior Cold Weather Group
- Trailer Tow Group
- ParkSense Rear Park Assist
If you want to give your Classic a more unique look, the Warlock All Terrain Package adds function and style to the SLT trim. Matte black 17-inch alloy wheels, all-terrain tires, and rubber mats in front and back take the Classic off-road.
Although not much has changed for the 2023 models, there’s a lot to love about the new Ram Classic. Be on the lookout for 2023 Ram 1500 Classic models to hit the floor soon at Benna CDJR! We keep our online inventory up-to-date with the latest vehicles, or you can contact us for more information on release date and pricing information as it becomes available.
Chrysler 300C Preview and Updates
At September’s Detroit Auto Show, Chrysler announced the last special edition release for its 300 model, the 300C. With almost 70 years in production, Chrysler is putting an end to the iconic 300 line by releasing its most luxurious, powerful, and impressive 300 yet. Although full specs aren’t yet available, you can learn about what has been announced and prepare for the limited release of the 300C.
Going Out with a Bang
The 300C in itself is an all-new release for the 300 model lineup. Because of its extremely limited production numbers, it’s expected to be highly sought after, and for good reason. Only 2,200 will be available as a way to send off the 300 model in serious style. Its 6.4L HEMI V-8 engine reports a seriously impressive 485 horsepower, a significant upgrade from your average four-door sedan. If speed is your thing, you’ll be glad to know that the 300C has a top speed of 160MPH, with 0-60 in just 4.3 seconds.
This rear-wheel drive vehicle is supported by Four Piston Brembro Brakes, accented by red brake calipers. Brembro is known for its high-quality and unbeatable performance, adding another top-of-the-line feature to the 300C. Additionally, you’ll find MOPAR-inspired 3.09 Limited Slip Differentials, an Active Exhaust System, and Active Dampening Suspension with 20×9-inch forged wheels. Finishing off the exterior is black headlamp and taillamp bezels, along with your choice of three exterior colors.
Luxury Interior
As expected, the high-end features don’t end at the doors. Inside, you’ll find black laguna leather seating – a high-quality leather known for its softness and superior quality. The seating is finished with 300C silver stitching that extends to the doors, leather instrument panel, and center console. Like other 300 models, the 300C includes an 8.4-inch touchscreen with Uconnect 4C with exclusive carbon fiber and piano black bezel details throughout the entire cabin.
Although no official information is released on safety and technology features, you can expect a variety of driver assist tech like park assist, automatic braking, and lane keep assist like other 300 models.
Reserve Your 300C
Although reservations through Chrysler are currently full, you can contact Benna CDJR to get your hands on this exclusive car. Because they’re expected to go fast, we can place an order today for the expected Spring 2023 release. Keep an eye out as more information becomes available.
Detroit Auto Show Debuts the Air Mobility Experience
This year’s Detroit Auto Show saw an impressive array of all-new vehicles and concepts, including its all-new Air Mobility Experience. As a preview into the future of travel and commerce, the experience showed off an international display of flight demonstrations that showcased technology from around the world.
The Future of Mobility
While September’s Auto Show included announcements and debuts of vehicles from well-known automakers like Chrysler and Jeep, the real star of the show was the Air Mobility Experience. Bridging science fiction with reality, the display included everything from a jet suit to passenger air vehicles. The goal is to show that the future of mobility extends far above the ground with air vehicles from Tel Aviv, Tokyo, Detroit, and more.
Detroit’s hometown display consisted of a vehicle capable of electrical vertical take-off and landing made for personal and commercial use. The showing showed the vehicle’s use for clean commuting, delivery, and infinite other uses, all done in the air. Additionally, the world’s first successful hoverboard impressed audiences as Montreal’s team demonstrated its full capabilities as more than just a novelty.
An Eye on the Sky
Every air vehicle at the Detroit Auto Show displayed a combination of years of work, trial, and error in a final concept. Air vehicles include:
- Detroit’s own Airspace Experience Technologies offering its Sigma-6 eVTOL, showing off an electric air transportation system for commuters and commercial customers.
- England’s Gravity Industries and their patented Jet Suit for search and rescue, paramedic, defense, and other uses capable of 1,000 horsepower.
- ICON Aircraft’s ICON A5 from Vacavaille, a two-seater amphibious aircraft first shown on Jay Leno’s Garage.
- AERWINS Technologies showing off Delaware’s XTURISMO Hoverbike, a Star Wars-inspired air bike with multiple practical applications.
- Tel Aviv’s AIR ONE, offering a virtual reality experience for attendees to try out their two-seater eVTOL for themselves.
- A true Hoverboard comes to life from Montreal’s Omni Hoverboards for a futuristic and award-winning, first-of-its-kind experience.
The future is closer than you think with personal air travel and mobility on the near horizon. While we may be a few years away from offering air mobility vehicles, you can find your next electric, hybrid, or high-tech car here at Benna CDJR! Browse our inventory of new and used vehicles or come down to our Superior, WI dealership for a test drive today.
This year’s Detroit Auto Show unveiled several automakers’ next generation of vehicles, including Chrysler’s showstopping 2023 300C. The announcement marks and end of an era for the 300, one of Chrysler’s most iconic and well-known models. Although the line is coming to an end, Chrysler put everything into creating one of the most powerful and luxurious offerings for the 300C.
Made to Impress
Although part of the appeal of the 2023 300C is its exclusivity, Chrysler made sure to pull out all the stops for its final release. Only 2,200 will be available around Spring of 2023, many of which are already reserved. But what other than limited availability makes the 300C so coveted? Perhaps the most noted feature is under its hood. The 6.4L HEMI engine boasts a mind-blowing 485 horsepower, achieving 0-60MPH in just 4.3 seconds. With a top speed of 160 mph, there’s no doubt that the 300C is made for speed. But it doesn’t stop there. The laguna leather-trimmed seats, silver stitching, and carbon fiber details make for a luxurious driving experience. Other features include 20×9-inch forged wheels, four-piston Brembro Brakes with red brake calipers, and 3.09 limited split differential, to name a few, with even more details expected to be announced.
Legendary History
Since its first release in 1955, the Chrysler 300 has been known for its power and performance. Some may even consider them part of the beginnings of muscle cars with their reputation for speed, design, and premium materials. From the racetrack to homes across America, the Chrysler 300 became a well-known part of auto history. Although it’s come a long way since its start almost 70 years ago with a revamp in 1995, the newest release shares much of what made the original so iconic. Powered by a HEMI engine and reaching impressive speeds, the 300 maintains is luxury status while going out with a bang.

What goes on behind the RAM branding?
Now its own iconic brand, the distinctive Ram head first appeared on Dodge trucks in 1981. The two divided in 2009, paving the path for Ram to grow and innovate on its own. Now, over a decade later, Ram is still testing the limits of power and performance to give its new and loyal customers the ride of their life.
Focus on Quality
Since their beginning, Rams have been designed with longevity in mind. Every material and detail that goes into a Ram is meticulously chosen, and only those with the highest quality meet the standard. What was once just a thing of utility has transformed into a luxurious experience, made with style inside and out. From hard-wearing leather seats to dust-repelling exterior finish, every last detail is meant to convey a sense of individuality and personality. Within different Ram models, you can find distinctive details and styling. Where the Longhorn shows off the Ram’s history, the new TRX is built for the off-road. Even different trims have their own styling and customization packages to make every truck unique. However, they all convey the same message – quality above all. Rams keep up with new technology and tastes without sacrificing what makes the brand unique.
Pushing the Boundaries
The Ram hasn’t been afraid to adapt throughout the years. In fact, the opposite is true – Rams are constantly breaking boundaries of innovation. The objective is to change the standard of what a truck is meant to be. Instead of a pickup that hauls and tows, the Ram is now so much more. The 1500 keeps providing a durable and tough exterior that’s meant to be treated like a truck should with unexpected luxury like real wood paneling and high-quality leather seating. Such a contrast seems like it wouldn’t work, but for the Ram, it just does. That’s because its designers put thought and years of research into each decision that makes it to the final cut. Each year, Ram’s offerings seem to step up the game, taking each truck to the next level.
Find a Ram of Your Own
Do you want to see what the Ram is all about for yourself? You can browse Benna CDJR’s online inventory. Or, better yet, come test drive one for yourself at our Superior, WI dealership! Either way, we’d love to get you behind the wheel of your own Ram. Contact us today for the full Ram experience!
