Upstate Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram
It’s based on the successful FIAT Doblo, a proven platform whose quality and reliability has helped it become a two-time winner of the International Van of the Year Award.
Modified and re-engineered for North America, ProMaster City is available in two configurations – a five-seat passenger wagon and two-seat cargo van.
When compared to the competition, ProMaster City comes out ahead of Ford Transit…
We're trying to play cool here at Upstate Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, Inc., but we're completely smitten by the upcoming 2015 Jeep Renegade. This subcompact SUV is everything we've ever wanted in a weekend adventurer -- and everything we didn't even know we wanted. Ruggedness isn't synonymous with largeness, as the modestly-sized Renegade can rock climb and trail blaze alongside the most dominating off-road vehicles.
The Renegade is available in several…
Last week, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles introduced the new Fiat 500X at the Los Angeles Auto Show. A companion vehicle to the Jeep Renegade
in the lineup, the 500X is a new crossover for Fiat and it should bring
fresh traffic and more sales to dealer showrooms when it arrives here
next year.
Both the 500X and Renegade are produced by the FCA plant in Melfi, Italy and share about 40% of their components. However, the two are aimed at different audiences, giving FCA the unique advantage of having a pair of contenders in one of the hottest market segments.

The Ram 1500 faced down the aluminum-bodied Ford F-150 and new Chevrolet Silverado in Motor Trend’s half-ton truck shootout.
The three contenders were put through a broad array of testing, including a 260-mile drive through California and Arizona. Measurements included:
The winner was chosen both by empirical results and and by driver impressions. The judges were particularly…
With both Chevrolet Colorado and Ford F-150 boasting of their fuel economy— the latter without actually releasing it yet — Ram has done the footwork to provide comparisons of their mileage versus every competitor.
Of note, the Ram 1500 V6 is no longer the most efficient full-sized gasoline-powered pickup, though it is tied for best with the Chevrolet Silverado. The Ram 1500 diesel does retain the title of most efficient full or midsized pickup, arguably, with Tacoma coming in at the same rounded combined mileage (1 mpg better city, 3 mpg worse highway). Tacoma is smaller, and comes with a four…
Green Car Journal has named the Ram 1500
EcoDiesel its 2015 Green Truck of the Year. The announcement was made
today at the 46th annual San Antonio Auto & Truck Show in San
Antonio, Texas.
“The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel exemplifies what a ‘green’ truck should be,” said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of the Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. “It’s a heavy-hitter that pulls off exceptional fuel economy with its impressive EcoDiesel engine and array of efficiency features like active grill shutters and aero suspension. Pickup buyers get the best of all worlds with the beefy torque and environmental…
The 2015 Chrysler 200 has earned a five-star (the highest possible) overall safety rating from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It scored five stars in frontal collisions, two-vehicle side-impacts, and single-vehicle-with-pole side impacts. It got four stars for rollover resistance.
The 2015 200 had already earned a Top Safety Pick Plus rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
The car’s many optional active safety systems do not factor into the ratings, though NHTSA provides recognition on their safety-ratings page for them. Collision-warning systems are required for IIHS Top Safety Pick+ status.

We might think of competition as something that happens between two opposing people or companies. Recently, the Dodge company showed us that isn't always the case.
The recent line of commercials offer a bit of history into the Dodge legacy, and the brothers who created it. The video below is the commercial the company released in which the brothers compete against one another in the ever evolving Charger and Challenger.
A little competition can…
The Texas Auto Writers Association’s (TAWA) 2014 Texas Truck Rodeo has
ended and the votes have been cast. While Ford, as expected, was named
Truck of Texas and Truck Line of Texas and Lincoln came in with CUV of
Texas, the Jeep Grand Cherokee was named SUV of Texas for a record fifth
consecutive time. Actually, the Grand Cherokee set the record a couple
of years ago with its third win; it’s now just padding its lead over
everything else.
“Once again the Chrysler Group brought an extraordinary product lineup to the Texas Truck Rodeo,” said Michael Marrs…
