2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab: Perfect for the Off-Road Warrior

There’s been a lot of news recently revolving around what Jeep is planning for the years to come. We covered it here, with new models being presented and details into what the current line-up will be getting. That’s only half the story it would seem as Jeep has put out details on yet another new model they will be putting out.

Jeep has announced the release of the Jeep Wrangler Moab. The name comes from one of the most celebrated places in the world to take a 4×4 out to and traverse around in. The Wrangler Moab is based upon the Wrangler Sarhara model and is decked out to handle the worst that nature has to offer. To do this, the Wrangler Moab will have 17-inch Rubicon allow wheels mated to Kevlar reinforced Goodyear Silent Armor off-road tires.

As far as exterior features are concerned, the Wrangler Moab comes equipped with unique Mopar power dome hood. It also has a black fuel filler door and tail lamp guards, matte black Jeep grille bade, and Moab decals on the hood of the vehicle. There’s even an optional body-color three-piece hard top.

The interior also manages to include some modifications to perfectly suit the outside warrior that will be traveling the wild wonders of the out-doors. The seats are premium black leather with the black stitching on the newly designed 2013 Wrangler seats. There’s a Moab embossed instrument panel grab handle and Mopar slush mats. The vent rings, steering wheel spokes, and grab handles have an iron gray trim.

This new Jeep model is, as Mike Manley, President and CEO of Jeep Brand said, all about taking the Jeep to a new height of capability. It’s looks to be a definite must for anyone looking to conquer off-road with power and fashion in one package.

Jeep’s Big Plans for the Future

It’s the start of a new month and with it comes news that Jeep is looking to do some house cleaning. All attention of late is on the resurrection of the Dart name and Jeep is looking to be steal some thunder with their announcements on the future of Jeep.

Motortrend has the breakdown of just what Jeep is doing to keep itself fresh. First up is the Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Being developed as competition for the seven-passenger Chevrolet Suburban. It’s also going to be the replacement for the aging Dodge Durango. Don’t worry if you happen to be a Durango fan, however, because Dodge isn’t planning on scrapping the SUV altogether with plans in the next few years to give it a new look with a new plant.

Next big plan that Jeep has is to bring the Jeep Liberty back with the Cherokee badge. The Grand Cherokee will be getting a 3.0 liter diesel engine and the 8.4-inch touch screen that is a big part of the Dodge Dart and many other Chrysler vehicles. Jeep Wrangler will be getting a heavy-duty version of the new gearbox while their redesign is being put off until 2017.

Jeep is taking the necessary steps to make that in the next couple of years that their popularity will not be waning.

Feedback from our Customers

At Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge, we strive to make sure everyone has the best possible experience they can when they walk into our dealership.  We love to hear back from people to ensure this happens with everyone.  That’s just what happened with one very satisfied driver who came into our dealership expecting the usual spin game and instead found himself being treated with honesty and fairness:

“I was VERY skeptical about using this dealership for my new Jeep GC.  After I read the reviews I decided to stop in and look at the model I was thinking about BUT THAT WAS ALL – even though I live in Bayside! (I am a Yelp fan & there are a lot of complaints here).

So that is what I did.  I looked at the car, decided to go with a Jeep and left to find a different dealership.  The salesman I spoke with was both knowledgable and friendly, but I was not going to divert from the plan.  I started calling all the other Jeep dealerships in the area for pricing and model stock.  The options I wanted were not common and the 2013s were already in production, so I needed to move fast on a 2012!

I took a drive to two dealerships and ended up going with the friendly upstanding guys at a dealership “C”.  LET ME PAUSE THERE – I should note I am a ridiculously savvy consumer who does a tremendous amount of research so that I can make an informed decision and NOT have to rely on someone else (esp. When he happens to be in the business of making a profit from my purchase) to make a decision.  I was looking for a lease, and by time I finished my research I could calculate the payment using algebraic formulas…on a piece of paper.  

I ask lots of questions from the salesmen, and being a woman, reserve the right to pretend I don’t already know the answer.  SO WHY DID I TELL YOU ALL THAT???

Because THE NICE UPSTANDING GUYS ALL LIED, LIED THROUGH THEIR TEETH.  They convinced me to buy a car they didn’t have, they assured me they would get the EXACT car I was looking for, and then kept me on hold for five days.  BUT THAT didn’t bother me, you should expect a dealer to try and sell you a car, any car.  JUST DON’T LIE TO ME or MISLEAD me about the money, lease terms, parameters, buyout, fees, etc.  

I ended up going back to Bayside to talk numbers and see if they would insert the same BS tactics that the other guys used.  BAYSIDE WAS FAIR AND HONEST.  They didn’t try and sell me a car they didn’t have, they were open and honest about the terms, the lease parameters and were GENUINE the entire time.  I ended up leaving because although Bayside was genuine, the other guy had my deposit and promised me my exact car request.  After two more days and still no car from the other dealer I gave up and went back to Bayside.  

I AM TRULY HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE AND I KNOW I GOT A GREAT DEAL.  More importantly, the staff acted like family, and I will be happy to take the car there for service.  (I will update with a post after the first trip to the service dept.)

If you expect a car salesman to not try and sell you a car, or better yet, To never make a profit, think again.  In reference to these negative reviews I can only say that each story that turns out badly has a much higher chance of becoming a post.  bad apples can be anywhere, but I know that my salesman Michael, My sales manager Robert, and the Finance Manager, John , were all honest, upfront and direct on all points.  EVERY other dealership tried to trick me with fake money factors and imaginary incentives, as well as getting deposits from me on phantom cars they knew they were not going to get there hands on.  BAYSIDE WAS HONEST, and I will take an honest salesman over a fancy dealership any day.”
