    Fall Sale: New Truck Deals

    Trucks deals are a bit harder to find this year, but there are deals to be found, especially over the Labor Day weekend. Here’s what our team found

    Best Full-Size Truck Deal: Ford F-150: Offer details include 0% financing for 72 months. The only exclusion is that F-150 Raptors are not included with this incentive. You will also need above average credit to qualify.

    Best Heavy-Duty Truck Deal: GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD: GMC is currely offering a $4,000 rebate on the new Sierra 2500 and 3500. However, they are not currently offering 0% APR and a national inventory shortage from GM may mean you can’t find the configuration you’re looking for.

    Best Midsize Truck: GMC Canyon: GMC is offering Employee Pricing across most of its lineup. For the GMC Canyon, that can mean up to $5,000 off of the MSRP.

    Since trucks may be in shorter supply this season, why not turn your sights on an SUV? Here are a few great Labor Day deals-

    2020 Ford Explorer: Starting on August 28th 2020, Ford began offering a $1k trade-in assistance bonus on the Explorer. If you combine this offer with 0% APR for 72 months, you’ve got a great deal!

    2020 Hyundai Tucson: Hyundai is offering a $500 Sales Event Cash on Tucsons. In addition, they are offering interest free financing for 6 years and deferred payments for 90 days. Offer ends Sept 8th 2020

    2020 Nissan Kicks: On August 25th, all versions of the Nissan Kicks became eligible for 0% APR for 72 months. In addition, Nissan is offering a $500 bonus just for taking your loan with their financing company.

    2020 Chevy Equinox: Chevy is offering 0% APR for 84 months on the Equinox. That is one of the very few instances where you can get interest free financing for 7 years.

    Don’t forget to negotiate, if you don’t ask, you won’t get 🙂 Happy Motoring!


  • Get Ready to go Off-Road with the New Ram Rebel

    Get Ready to go Off-Road with the New Ram Rebel

    Ram has a seriously powerful contender in the crowded truck market with the Ram Rebel. The Rebel is ideal for off-roading, using some slick new tech to make the process a breeze. Whereas you once would have to put the truck in 4×4 manually, it’s a push of a button away with the Rebel. Today we’re looking at the coolest new features packed into this new Ram.

    Quiet Interior Cabin

    The cabin on the Ram Rebel is quiet, and the ride is smooth. The truck sports a complex technology called active-tuned mass modules that react in live time to the vibration of the engine. By moving in such a way to counter that vibration, the ATMM technology cuts down on both noise and shaking. This all adds up to make for a smooth, Zen-like riding experience even when off-roading.

    Heavy-Duty Shocks

    Getting out in the mud requires some serious stabilization, and that’s where these new shocks come in! Specifically, these are Bilstein remote-reservoir shocks, meaning they can keep you on the trail for hours. They do this by eliminating the main cause of shock fade. Typically, if you spend a long time on the trail, the oil in your shocks gets heated up and your shocks feel much more “soft.” The remote-reservoir style shocks fixes this by letting your shock oil cool in a remote reservoir, allowing you to keep taking bumps off the road.

    Electronically Locking Rear Differential

    Ever been stuck in the mud? Then you know how much it sucks to watch your back wheels spin and not catch any traction. Even with 4WD, sometimes you need a little extra push. That’s what manually-engaged electronic rear differential locking is for. If that sounds complicated, don’t worry, it’s not. All it means is that you can tell your back tires to work together, locking into the same pattern of spin. This lets them work in concert to help get you un-stuck!

    Ram Rebel Pricing and Release

    You’re probably asking when you can get one of your own, and what it’ll cost you. Models start at $47,495, which might sound like a lot, but the Rebel means business. You should see these bad boys hitting dealerships this Fall.

  • Feature Roundup: 2019 Dodge Ram 1500

    There’s no shortage of competition in the full-sized truck market. If you’re looking for a ton of room, great towing power and that classic American-tough look, Dodge’s Ram 1500 is a great pick. 

    The 2019 model, due later this year, is no exception. Let’s look at some of the features Dodge is cramming into the 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 to see how it stacks up against the competition!

    2019 Dodge Ram 1500 Specs

    When it comes to full-sized trucks, size is certainly a consideration, and the Ram doesn’t disappoint. The Quad Cab is 5’7”, and the Crew Cab is 6’4”, so you can tailor your truck to your specific needs. Payload capacity is 2,300 lbs., and towing is 12,750 lbs. Those numbers certainly don’t make any mistakes, this is a powerful, rugged vehicle. If you need a truck to get yourself, your buddies and your stuff from site to site, this one can do that.

    Rear-wheel drive is standard, but you can opt for four-wheel drive. There are a ton of different engine options, so you can pick and choose which amount of power you need under the hood. The 8-speed automatic transmission is standard (sorry, manual-lovers). Interestingly, this year’s truck is a few hundred lbs. lighter than trucks from previous years, affording it better control and performance in general.

    This Year’s Upgrades

    The 2018 Ram is an undeniably great vehicle. So, how does Dodge plan to impress with the 2019? One way is the general ride quality. The huge, floaty performance is reminiscent of a large SUV, from the way it handles on turns to its ability to tank bumps. If you like a smooth ride and don’t mind some awkward steering, the ride is great. Another improvement over last year is the luxurious, quiet interior cabin. The finished plastic and smooth leather give an overall premium feel to a hard-working truck.

    Pricing Details

    Prices on the 2019 Dodge Ram 1500 start at $33,340, and of course, the more bells and whistles you get the more that number rolls up. The Laramie model, for instance, starts at $42,335 and nets you an Alpine stereo, heated and cooled seats and leather upholstery. If you’re looking for a high-end heavy-duty truck, you can’t go wrong with the Ram.
