A local business needed a box truck that could carry a full day’s freight and make its own loading dock. Here’s how we built it, and how we’d build yours.

Every box truck we build starts with a conversation. This one started when a local business owner stopped by our showroom in Piqua with a familiar problem. Their deliveries were outgrowing their trucks, and their crew was tired of muscling heavy freight off the back by hand.

They didn’t need a sales pitch. They needed somebody to listen, ask the right questions and build the right truck. That’s what we did.

The result is this 2026 Ram [...]

First, take a breath. You are not alone, and it’s not a dead end. If you’ve been searching for dealerships that rollover negative equity in Dayton, Ohio, here’s the real answer: it’s often possible, but how you do it matters a lot. Let’s walk through it.

Ram 1500 Hurricane vs. HEMI

Ram 1500 Hurricane vs. HEMI 1If you’ve been in our showroom lately, you’ve probably noticed something: the HEMI is back. After a couple of years where the Hurricane inline-six was the only game in town, Ram brought the 5.7L HEMI V8 back for the 2026 Ram 1500 lineup, and now buyers around Piqua, Troy, and Sidney actually have a real choice to make again. So which one is right for you?

Honestly, it depends less on brand loyalty and more on what your day-to-day driving actually looks like here in Miami County. Let’s break it down.

The HEMI V8: The One Everybody Knows

The 5.7L HEMI V8 makes 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, and it’s paired with the eTorque mild-hybrid system that adds a little extra punch off the line. It’s not the newest technology in the lineup anymore, but that’s kind of the [...]

dodge charger v8

dodge charger v8 1If you’ve spent any time hanging around the service drive or scrolling Dodge forums, you’ve heard the question a hundred times: “Is the Dodge Charger ever getting a V8 back?” It’s the question every Mopar fan wants answered, and honestly, we get asked about it here at the dealership almost as often as we get asked about financing. So let’s dig into where things actually stand with the new Dodge Charger, why Dodge ditched the V8 in the first place, and whether that old-school rumble is coming back anytime soon.

A Quick Recap: What Happened to the Hemi?

For decades, the Dodge Charger name was basically synonymous with V8 power. The 5.7L Hemi, the 6.4L 392, the supercharged 6.2L Hellcat engine — these powerplants built the Charger’s reputation as one of the last [...]

2026-dodge-charger
2026-dodge-charger1For most of its life, the Dodge Charger was a rear-wheel-drive muscle car, full stop. The 2026 Dodge Charger flips that script: every version rolls off the line with all-wheel drive standard. Before you panic, here’s the part that’s easy to miss — the car can still go full rear-wheel drive whenever you want, and switching takes about one second. If you’ve got a new Charger, or you’re shopping for one and want that classic tail-out, tire-smoking feel on demand, this is how it works. Wait, isn’t the new Charger AWD only?

Sort of. All-wheel drive is standard across the entire 2026 Dodge Charger lineup, from the gas R/T up to the Scat Pack, and on the electric Charger Daytona too. That’s a big change, and it’s a smart one for anyone dealing with Ohio winters — power to all four [...]

ram promaster city ohio

A half-ton cargo van is a beast to wedge into a driveway in Oakwood, and a car with a ladder strapped to the roof isn’t fooling anyone. That gap in the middle is exactly where the Ram ProMaster City lives — and after leaving the market back in 2022, it’s coming back for the 2027 model year.

For a lot of Dayton tradespeople, that timing couldn’t be better. Here’s why the returning ProMaster City deserves a spot on your radar.
