The Hidden Features of Owning a Jeep

Posted on February 18, 2016 by baysideadmin

Do you know the hidden features in your purchase? For new Jeep buyers, there’s plenty of unwritten rules that go beyond the equipment and exterior included in the purchase. DirtRoadTrip.com put together a list of ’10 Things They Never Tell You About Owning a Jeep.’

You’re Going to Get Wet:

The 9^th on their list is the notion that you’re going to get wet in the driver seat. That’s because it’s impossible to not want to put all that jibber-jabber about the Jeep’s off-road to the test. Inevitably, in that curiosity, is going to come the chance to take the Jeep through the mud and water. When that finally happens, just make sure that you bring an dry pair of pants to change into.

The Jeep Wave:

This is a phenom that has been on-going for sometime now. When you buy a Jeep, you don’t just get an award-winning, highly-capable vehicle, you’re also being inducted into a membership. The Jeep Wave is the unofficial salute given among Jeep drivers.

Tackle Any Weather Problem:

New York just had one of the biggest snowstorms in its history. After the snow subsided and it was time to get the city back to work, it’s a safe bet it was the Jeeps leading the charge. Case in point; remember that snowboarding through the streets of New York video that went viral? Did you notice what they were driving? *Jeep Wave*

Jeep Portraits Ad Wins YouTube Adblitz Poll 2016!

Posted on February 12, 2016 by baysideadmin

The Jeep ad, ‘Portraits’, was a major success at the Superbowl. It was a surprisingly quiet moment in ads that tend to raise the volume to prove a point. For that reason, it was one of the stand-out ads in the sea of Superbowl ad madness. It’s also earned it plenty of recognition, such as taking the top spot with the YouTube Adblitz 2016 results.

“Achieving the number one automotive spot in the YouTube Adblitz Poll the last five of six years is a remarkable achievement for FCA and a wonderful acknowledgement of our entire creative team’s efforts,” said Chief Marketing Officer at FCA Globa Olivier Francois. “This work is above all things the product of FCA’s shared culture of leadership. ‘Portraits’ speaks directly to how we are given the freedom to experiment and to challenge conventions. The recognition that ‘Portraits’ has received from both viewers and those within the creative industry only serves to reinforce that we are on the right path. Making a difference has been and always be our North Star.”

The ad had already been named Adweek’s number one Super Bowl spot. It was appreciated by the editors for its restraint in what is typically an unhinged event. When every other brand is trying to be loud and get noticed, it’s nice for someone to remember the power of subtly.

Take a look at the ad for another time and really appreciate the message Jeep is trying to send about the legacy of the company:

Jeep Renegade and Wrangler Top Kelley Blue Book’s Most Awarded Vehicles of 2015!

Posted on September 21, 2015 by baysideadmin

Kelley Blue Book has put together their list of the most awarded vehicles of 2015 and it is most definitely a good thing for Jeep. Two from the Jeep line-up made the list. One of the oldest and most popular Jeeps, and one that is brand-new.

The obvious one is the Jeep Renegade. The little guy of the family is really getting a running start out of the gate. It has been catching on and is really starting to prove itself as the excellent starter SUV it was intended to be. It might be small in size, but it still nabbed plenty of awards from KBB including ’10 Coolest Cars Under $18,000’, ’10 Tech-Saviest Cars Starting Under $20,000’, and ’10 Most Fun SUVs.”

The other Jeep is the Wrangler, which is not really a surprise when looking at the critical history of the Wrangler. There is a reason it has stuck around in the public eye for so long and continues to be one of the best-selling vehicles under the Chrysler banner. Among its numerous awards from KBB, the 2015 Wrangler was on their ’10 Most Fun SUVs’, ’10 Coolest Cars Under $25,000’, and ’10 Best SUVs Under 25,000.’

Jeep has been extremely popular the last few months in the US. Seeing how just two of the Jeep vehicles have made so many popular lists according to Kelley Blue Book, it is easy to see why everyone wants a Jeep.
