When you buy a new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM vehicle, you get the peace of mind that comes with an extensive warranty. The result is less money spent on regular car repairs and maintenance and even some roadside assistance so you don’t have to worry about getting a flat tire in the middle of nowhere.

The warranty coverage for a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM vehicle is essentially the same since they are all part of the same larger company. Most people choose to buy a gas-powered vehicle, and in this case, you will get a Powertrain Limited Warranty that lasts 60,000 miles or 5 years, whichever comes first. The Powertrain Limited Warranty for diesel vehicles is even better, lasting 5 years or 100,000 miles. Depending on the vehicle, even the gas engine may have 100,000 miles of coverage. In either case, the Powertrain Limited Warranty includes the drive system, transmission, [...]

Finding your next family car doesn’t have to be an overwhelming challenge if you take the time to do some research. While SUVs and trucks can make great family vehicles, many people prefer sedans since they are easier to drive and more efficient. Just like with other models, there are certain traits that help make a sedan a better choice for a family. Most people will want a vehicle that is very safe, efficient, spacious, and versatile and that has the latest technology to keep everyone entertained and connected. With those factors in mind, here are some of the best family sedans on the market.

Perhaps the best sedan for a family vehicle on the market is the Chrysler 300. This model is more stylish than the average family sedan, with sleek lines and premium touches. Inside, the rear seats are downright spacious with plenty of room for even teens or adults. The [...]

When it comes time to buy your next car, you will have to make a few important decisions, including what brand you want to buy and the body style. Some people prefer sedans while others prefer SUVs. This is largely a matter of personal preference since you can find the same features and amenities on either style of vehicle. To figure out which is right for you, consider a few key areas where one excels over the other.

Versatility and Seating Space

In terms of versatility, even a small SUV tends to take the lead over a sedan. Both body styles will typically have split and folding rear seats, but SUVs will have more spacious cargo areas, as well. Their taller roofs also provide extra headroom, something many drivers appreciate. Like sedans, most small SUVs will only have seating for five passengers due to space constraints. However, you can find the occasional small SUV with [...]

Few people are able to buy their next vehicle outright, even if it is a budget-friendly model. Because of this, dealerships and banks offer a range of financing options. Thanks to the financing, you make an affordable down payment followed by monthly payments that you can truly afford. Eventually, you will completely pay off your vehicle and own your truck or Jeep. With a little bit of research, you can get the best rates possible and start enjoying your car.

Before applying for financing, you will want to take the time to look at your credit score. While this isn’t completely necessary, it is a very good idea. This can give you insight into how banks and credit unions will view your financial abilities. Knowing your credit score can also help prepare you by giving you an indication of the interest rate you may receive. Most importantly, checking your credit score [...]

The 2016 Dodge Charger is a fun family sedan that can be configured with some high-end features or an incredibly powerful engine. There are nine trim configurations to choose from when you factor in the drivetrain. With the extra options and packages, there is a Charger that is right for most people.

The Charger lets drivers choose from a range of engine options. The base 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 generates 292 horsepower and 260 pound-feet, which increases to 300 horses and 264 pound-feet with the Rallye Group. This engine has the best-in-class fuel economy on the highway of 31 mpg.

Some Charger configurations run on the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 engine, a class exclusive with the best-in-class figures for both horsepower and torque, 370 horses and 395 pound-feet. Moving up from there, the 2016 Charger R/T Scat Pack has a 6.4-liter [...]

If you say you want to drive the Dodge Hellcat, you are actually talking about two different models. Both the Charger and Challenger offer a trim known as the SRT Hellcat. Since these Dodge muscle cars are slightly different, that gives drivers two options for their Hellcat. The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat starts at $64,195, and the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat starts at $67,645. The high price tag comes from the incredible performance of these vehicles, which share the same powertrain and many features.

The Dodge Hellcat models are designed to offer the best possible performance. They run on a 6.2-liter HEMI SRT Hellcat V8 engine, which is supercharged. This engine generates a whopping 707 horsepower that lets the Challenger SRT Hellcat claim the title of most powerful muscle car to ever exist. It also puts you in [...]
