Motor Trend Takes the Jeep Wrangler on the Rubicon Trail

Untitled

Jeeps were built for the intention of conquering the terrain.  The brand started life with the intent to ensure that no field of battle was too dangerous to traverse.  Now, that has extended into civilian life as Jeeps are synonymous with tackling the great outdoors.  Anyone who gets a Jeep is someone who at some point behind the wheel will daydream themselves into a scenario involving some rocky terrain that only they can drive over.

Jonny Lieberman at Motor Trend got the chance to live out the fantasy of taking a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon out to the Rubicon Trail.  The Trail is notoriously difficult for any 4×4 to handle and Jeeps have been driving it since the 50’s to prove their prowess with difficult terrains.  Lieberman put his full experience up on YouTube for viewers to see and it’s a wonderful sight indeed:

It’s stunning to see the capability of a Jeep Wrangler that the average driver never gets to see while stuck in New York traffic.

If you’re looking to purchase a Jeep Wrangler, for driving in New York City or in the great outdoors, contact a sales rep at Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge for more information.  The dealership operates in Bayside Queens area of New York and has quality sales reps to help you drive away in the new or used car that suits your lifestyle.

Plant Prepares for Full 2014 Jeep Cheorkee Production

UntitledIt’s been a long time coming, but the new Jeep Cherokee is almost upon us.  Ever since it was teased with a new look that’s been divisive amongst fans, the new Cherokee has been building up popularity thanks to those wanting something new and others who are more impressed by what its capable of rather than a striking new look.  Expectations are high and Jeep plans to make sure on delivering.  That’s why it will be increasing production at the plant responsible for getting the Cherokee out to would-be buyers.

The Toledo plant in Ohio will be producing the 2014 Cherokee at full volume for a single shift.  However, they want to be at full capacity by September.  That’s over 500 models over the course of a nine-hour shift.  In order to maintain that incredible pace, a second shift will be added.  Training has already begun to get ready.

We’re expecting this vehicle to sell,” said Zachary Leroux, the plant’s manager.  “I think that’s going to keep us busy for a long period of time.

Jeep is placing large bet on the new compact SUV set to replace the Jeep Liberty.  With the hype going into it, I think it stands a chance at bringing in a new age of Jeep drivers.

Jeep Brand is Most Patriotic Brand in America!

Jeep FlagJeep earned a spot on the list one would want right as the country celebrates our Independence Day.

Robert Passikoff is the founder and president of Brand Keys, a consumer research firm in New York. In honor of the 4th of July, his company put together a list of what consumers saw as the 25 more patriotic brand in America. Jeep just so happened to be on the list, but not just on the list, they topped it. That’s right, Jeep is, according to this survey, the most patriotic brand in America. Cue the fireworks!

Looking a the list, most of the brands that made it were varied. Food companies like Hershey, clothing companies like Ralph Lauren, but Jeep only has competition from one other auto company on the list. That would be Ford and they came in at 16th.

US Rep Marcy Kaptur, a democrat from Toledo, commented on the honor that Jeep was given. “It will come as no surprise to generations of workers in Toledo that Jeep is the ‘most patriotic’ brand. It’s really what we’re all about as a community.

Jeep is a name synonymous with American patriotism. Considering that it was the work-horse and backbone of the US military over seas during World War 2, the war that created the vehicle, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Jeep name is still seen as so patriotic. Jeep also has a long history of honoring our service men and women.
