With the 111th edition of the Chicago Auto Show complete, it’s time to take a look at the exciting news about RAM trucks. From an adventurous indoor track to the fully accessorized 2019 RAM 2500, the auto show wowed attendees. At Dodge Chrysler Jeep® of Winter Haven, you’ll find a massive selection of new and used RAM models, and if you want to accessorize your vehicle or test drive a new truck, come on by.

RAM Truck Territory

The 28,000-sq ft indoor test track showcased the 2019 RAM 1500. An estimated 25,000 people participated in test drives, which included a courageous course. From culverts to wedges, drivers demonstrated the payload and stability of the new RAM trucks. Drivers navigated the 13-ft high “RAM mountain” with the full 2019 RAM 1500 model lineup, featuring the RAM 1500 Laramie, Rebel, Laramie Longhorn, and Limited models.

2019 RAM 2500 with Mopar® Accessories

The auto show included a demonstration of the various Mopar® accessories that transform the 2019 RAM 2500 into an off-roading beast. With more than 170 different Mopar® parts to choose from, RAM showed that you can take a tough truck and personalize it for your lifestyle.

2019 Ram 1500 Multifunction Tailgate

The debut of the multifunction tailgate on the 2019 RAM 1500 stole the show. Far from traditional, this innovative invention works with or without a trailer and hitch. The 60/40-split tailgate opens like french doors, or you can use your key fob to drop it open.

2019 Ram Chassis Cab

For those looking for a medium-duty truck with a huge towing capacity, the 2019 RAM Chassis Cab is a thrilling option. You can tow up to 35,200 pounds with a max payload of 12,510, which is perfect for families needing a truck that satisfies weekday obligations while offering a fun ride for weekend trips.

At Dodge Chrysler Jeep® of Winter Haven, we know that a test drive is the easiest way to narrow down your new car choices. Shoppers tend to complete their research online, which helps them understand the specifics of each model, but it can’t replace the real-life experience of getting behind the wheel of a Jeep Wrangler or RAM 1500. If you’re interested in one of our new or used cars for sale near Auburndale, call our dealership at 888-530-1732 to schedule a test drive today. Before you come in, acquaint yourself with these tips for getting the most out of your visit.

  • Get familiar with the cabin. Go ahead and adjust your seat, the steering wheel, and the mirrors. Play with the controls and the infotainment system. Inspect the rear seat area and the trunk. Is everything to your liking? Or is there something you’d change? Our car dealers are happy to share the details of trim levels and available packages/add-ons for our models.
  • Take to the road. Now is the time to find out how the vehicle actually performs! Put it to the test in different conditions, especially on those that resemble your everyday encounters (this could include highway speeds, residential streets, stop-and-go traffic, etc). Is the vehicle easy to handle? Does it do well at higher speeds? Is the braking responsive? It’s important to take all aspects of driving into consideration.

Our Jeep sales team serving Orlando, FL is available to answer your questions about features, trims, packages, and everything in between! Schedule a test drive here at Dodge Chrysler Jeep of Winter Haven to get you behind the wheel of your dream vehicle. We look forward to working with you soon!

When it comes to making the best decisions about your car and driving habits, Dodge Chrysler Jeep® of Winter Haven is here to help.

If you’ve recently purchased a new model, like our 2019 RAM 1500 or Jeep Cherokee near Lakeland, you’ll want to keep up on regular maintenance to ensure peak performance.

Stick to Regular Maintenance

When you get your oil changed, you’re not only helping extend the life of your RAM truck, but also helping it run more efficiently. Over time, debris clogs the filters and the oil itself depletes, making its quality less effective. Oil is the lifeblood that runs through your engine, which is why it’s so important to stay on top of regular changes. Additional routine services to be proactive about include

  • Tire rotations
  • Brake inspections
  • Fluid checks/top-offs
  • Inspections

We’re all guilty of speeding or procrastinating a service. For 2019, try to improve your driving habits! Not only does it optimize driving dynamics, but it also ensures your safety on the road, and the other drivers’. A few ways you can do this is to reduce distractions, don’t use your phone, keep your eyes on the road, stay aware of your surroundings, and follow the recommended speed limits.

Whether you drive a new Chrysler Pacifica or your tried-and-true Jeep Wrangler, keep the above tips in mind to create a smooth-sailing 2019.

Tips for Removing Old Bumper Stickers

Get Rid of those Stubborn Bumper Stickers on your Vehicle Without Causing Damage!

Sick of seeing those old political campaign season stickers on your bumper? Or are you the proud parent of an honor roll student who is now embarrassed by that outdated sticker on your car? Don’t worry, it is possible to successfully remove old bumper stickers from your vehicle without damaging the paint. Read on to learn how you can turn back time on your vehicle and safely remove those old or unwanted stickers and don’t forget to come take advantage of our specials on accessories to give your car a little sprucing up afterwards. Both you and your car have earned it!

Instructions for Removing Stubborn Bumper Stickers

  1. Make sure you start with a freshly washed vehicle. The sticker and surrounding area should be dirt-free for the best results.
  2. Using a hair dryer, turn the dryer on high and hold it a couple of inches away from the sticker, but make sure it is not held in too close proximity to the sticker/car paint. Slowly move the dryer over the sticker and make sure to heat the edges of the sticker last. The edges will be easier to remove.
  3. Once the sticker has been thoroughly heated, use a sturdy plastic card (gift card/credit card) to gently lift the edges. Move towards the center, sliding the card back and forth under the edges, pulling the sticker slowly. It is normal for the sticker to break apart during this process. If you are removing the sticker from glass, you can use a razor blade. However, DO NOT use the razor blade on a painted area of your vehicle.
  4. Continue to push the card/blade and pull the sticker until it is fully removed.
  5. Repeat these steps as needed. Once it has been fully removed, you may spray tree sap remover on a clean rag and scrub to get rid of any residue that may remain.

If all else fails, and you find yourself in need … come check out our sticker-free selection of New Inventory at Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram of Winter Haven! Our knowledgeable and friendly Five Star team is here to help you find just the car you need at a price that only the Low Payment Kings can offer.  For questions, give us a call at 888-446-4585.
