Getting your tires rotated is an essential element of preserving the function and performance of your vehicle. Without this service being performed, your car will be less responsive and harder to brake or accelerate as easily. Use this guide to learn about the many benefits of tire rotation services from your Chrysler dealer. 1. Prevents Uneven Wear As you drive on the road, your tires will begin to wear down over time. Did you know that the front tires and back tires wear differently, and if left alone will eventually become lopsided? Rotating your tires will ensure that all of your tires experience the same amount of wear and age together. The unsafe alternative is that one or two tires take the brunt of the wear and tear. This could lead to poor vehicle performance as well as danger from reduced friction. Uneven or non-uniform tread can also affect your acceleration and braking, so be sure to have your tires rotated for optimal vehicle performance and safety. more 2. Reduces Bouncing If your vehicle seems to bounce on its suspension, this may be an indicator of tread cupping as a result of uneven tire wear. Tread cupping is also often called scalloped tires, and it refers to a type of wear that looks like the tire tread has been scooped out in different places along with the tire. Rotating your tires to reduce significant wear can prevent this tread cupping that leads to a bouncing motion. This will create a smoother ride and do less damage to the vehicle over time. 3. Safer Driving Cars that have their tires rotated frequently are likely to be safer to operate on the roads. This is because they have balanced traction, rather than uneven traction. Balanced traction makes it easier to control the vehicle with the brakes and accelerator. 4. Longer Vehicle Lifespan Not only is rotating your tires great for the lifespan of the tires as it distributes rather than concentrates wear and tear, but it is also great for the other parts of your car. Well-maintained tires have a positive effect on the nearby or interacting parts like wheels, axles, suspension, and even brakes. 5. Save Money On Replacements With longer-lasting parts due to frequent rotation, replacements aren't as often necessary. Repairs can be much more affordable than replacements, and preventative actions like rotating your tires can end up saving you hundreds or thousands of dollars on expensive new tire installation. Extend the lifespan of your car parts so that you don't have to stress about expensive replacement parts. If your brakes aren't stopping you on a dime like they used to, or you are experiencing tread cupping and a bouncing motion as you drive, rotating your tires could be the solution. Let experts find the solution for you by taking your car in for an inspection. Visit Ourisman Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram of Alexandria today to reap the many benefits of a quality rotation.

The 2021 RAM ProMaster City is the compact, efficient small van we've all been waiting for. If your business operates in crowded cities, or just doesn't need the superfluous capacity of a full-sized work van, then the ProMaster City is a sensible option that will save you money, thanks to its efficient drivetrain. In addition, it can be purchased with seating for up to five, making it an attractive option for a practical people carrier. Let's take a closer look. Overview The ProMaster City has seen relatively few changes coming into 2021. Fog lamps are now available as an optional extra, and the Tradesman cargo van variant can now be had with aluminum wheels. The ProMaster is especially adept at weaving through narrow urban streets, with responsive handling and a short-geared transmission with fast gear changes that contribute to its speedy acceleration. The ProMaster is at its heart a working van, and as such comes with hard-wearing plastic bumpers and plenty of tie-down points in the cargo bay, not to mention astonishing towing and cargo ratings for its size. The ProMaster has two main variants: the Tradesman cargo van and Wagon people carrier. Both can be upgraded to SLT trims, which adds styled wheel covers, a body-color bumper instead of the base black, and adjustable lumbar support for the driver's seat. more Performance and Fuel Economy All variants of the ProMaster City are powered by the same 2.4-liter I4, which produces 178hp and 174lb-ft of torque. A nifty nine-speed transmission sends power to the front wheels. In terms of fuel efficiency, the ProMaster far outstrips its rivals, with EPA estimates of 21/28mpg city/highway. Cargo Space and Towing The ProMaster City's cargo space is very generous for a small van, with over 130 cubic feet of space available in its Tradesman incarnation, and seating for up to five passengers in the Wagon. Its maximum cargo capacity tops out at just under 1900lbs, while its maximum towing weight reaches as high as 2000lbs. Interior Options The Tradesman cargo van is built from the ground up to get to work and includes two front seats with an open cargo area behind. There's an option for a factory-installed solid partition between the cabin and cargo area, and neither the side nor rear doors have windows for added security. The Wagon is designed to accommodate passengers, and as such has rear and side windows, and has an interior built with comfort in mind. An available taxicab package adds an upfit interface connector, heated adjustable side mirrors, and vinyl seat upholstery. Technology The ProMaster comes with a rear-view parking camera and park assist system, which integrates seamlessly into the 5-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which also includes a navigation package to keep you on track. In addition, a 12-volt outlet and high-speed USB outlet will make sure all your gadgets stay powered up. The RAM ProMaster City is the perfect small van for your business. Why not give it a spin?

The 2021 Jeep Gladiator is a fantastic mid-size pickup that has a fantastic blend of power and versatility. Its engine is truly impressive, but it doesn't stop its other features from standing out either. Some of those key features are ones that any driver will find incredibly useful - let's take a look at them below and see what you think. 1. Off-Roading Prowess Every Jeep vehicle has some off-roading ability, but in the Jeep Gladiator, it's above average. You not only have a 4X4 system for additional traction but there's a lot of ground clearance, too. With 11 inches of clearance, you can easily drive over large rocks and logs. This is perfect for those difficult, cluttered roads and paths. The debris won't damage your vehicle in the slightest, nor will you struggle to get by it all. more Another terrain you won't struggle with is a high flood. Even when cutting through 30 inches of water, the Jeep Gladiator still performs as perfectly as it does on dry land. However, please note that 30 inches is the maximum that the Gladiator can handle in a flood. Anything more and you're at risk of damaging your beautiful pickup. 2. Great Towing Capacity Most pickups we've seen of this size can handle 7,500 pounds on a trailer. This is enough to haul a camper, jet skis, a small boat, or anything else that you can think of. However, the Jeep Gladiator stands out from the norm and can haul 7,650 pounds - so if any of those objects listed above happen to be a little heavier than typical, you're covered. If you need to haul, even more, you can add another 1,700 pounds onto that load - as long as it fits in the truck bed. The Jeep Gladiator has one of the best payloads we've ever seen, and if you pair it with the towing capacity you'll be unstoppable. 3. The Convertable Option Pickups don't have soft tops. They've never had soft tops. In fact, it's impossible to find a convertible pickup truck - unless you're talking about the Jeep Gladiator. With a range of hard and soft top options, this pickup is the first of its kind. The soft top options are perfect for someone who loves the open air and wants to breathe it in while driving. As this truck is robust and great for off-roading, the soft top option is fantastic for people who want to go on trailside adventures. Instead of stopping, getting out, and looking at the views, do it from the vehicle. With the top down you can admire nature, take pictures, and bask in the sunshine, all while you're still cruising down a rocky road. Come and visit us at Ourisman Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Alexandria if you want to grab a Jeep Gladiator for yourself. Check out these fantastic features in person, take it out for a test drive, and see how it feels on the road. If this is the Jeep for you then don't hesitate to let us know - you'll be driving off in one of your own in no time!

So you can take this vehicle on long trips without ever worrying because this engine is more than capable of even the toughest tasks you throw at it. In fact, it can tow up to 19,680 pounds and carry a payload of 4,010 pounds! So if what you need is power, this is the truck for you. more Bird's Eye View for Perfect Vision of Surroundings Thanks to the power-fold mirrors and the available 360 degrees surround-view camera, you'll never be surprised again. By using five strategically placed cameras all around this truck, you'll be able to drive, park, reverse, or any other maneuver you can think of with complete ease. You can even add up to two auxiliary cameras on your trailer as well, giving you the confidence to drive anywhere you want. Trailer Monitoring at a Glance Rather than manually assessing your trailer's condition while on the road, why not just peek at the dashboard instead? With barely a look, you can instantly gauge the tire pressure without needing a pitstop. This way you can just focus on driving on the open roads without any trailer worries. Cargo Rambox Perfect for Camping With the available Class-Exclusive RamBox® Cargo Management System, it's easy to pack food, drinks, or even power up devices with the 115-volt outlet. Just use the remote access key fob to pop it open, and then when you're all done, you can easily drain it and lock it up till next time. Easy Access to Interior and Cargo Bed Power side running boards are available for this truck as well. All you've got to do is open a door, and it'll automatically deploy to give you an easy stair to hop into your truck with. You have the same option for the rear side as well. With nothing more than a simple kick, a bed step will deploy and give you a foothold to load and unload cargo with far less hassle. Connect Your Smartphone for Modern Convenience Using the Uconnect system, you can connect your Apple or Android phone to listen to your favorite music, make phone calls, text, or even navigate as well. All of this is done on the huge 12" touchscreen, making the process easier and more seamless than you'd think. Plus, when you combine this with the 4G Wi-Fi Hotspot this truck offers, you've basically got a built-in entertainment system.

For the first time since 2010, the Jeep Grand Cherokee is getting a redesign. It's been in Jeep's SUV lineup since 1993, and it's still very popular with consumers. While we don't have all the details about what to expect from the 2021 model, a few revelations have been made. Here's a look at what we know so far. more Power and Performance Although the exact engine lineup for the 2021 Grand Cherokee is still undetermined, there have been rumors about what to look for under the hood. The popular Pentastar 3.6-liter V-6 engine with eTorque will probably be in the lineup, and a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine with hybridization may also be available. In fact, we wouldn't be surprised to see Jeep offer a diesel engine like the one found in the Wrangler or the Hellcat that comes on the Trackhawk as options for the Grand Cherokee. As with previous models, the 2021 versions will come with either rear-, all-, or four-wheel drive depending on your driving style and preferences. Later in the year, you can expect to see a plug-in hybrid model of this midsize SUV, but even if that doesn't happen, Jeep claims that its entire 2022 lineup will offer hybrid versions. Spacious Interior No one would have called the interior of the previous Grand Cherokee small, but the latest models will have even more space than ever before. This is due in part to the fact that the current length of 114 inches is expected to increase significantly in new models. This will not only create more space for passengers but will also increase the cargo capacity. If you have a large family, you'll be happy to hear that later in the year, Jeep may release the Grand Cherokee with a third row. So you'll have plenty of room for up to seven passengers, all your gear, or whatever you need to make your life's adventures great. Modern Technology Not much has been released about the infotainment system that will come on the 2021 Grand Cherokee. Currently, a 5-inch touch screen is standard on the base model with the option of upgrading to an 8.4-inch touch screen. We probably won't see that smaller 5-inch screen anymore, and hopefully, the Grand Cherokee will have the option of a larger 10-inch screen, similar to the one found in the Ram 1500. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility as well as a built-in Wi-Fi hot spot are other features that we should expect to come standard, at least on the upper trims. As for driver-assist technologies, it's not yet known which ones will be standard as opposed to available. However, we can expect to see some of the more common safety features found these days like a lane keeping system, pedestrian detections, and a blind-spot monitoring system with cross-traffic alert.

We have all the information you need about this popular SUV, and if you're interested, we can help you reserve yours before it's too late.
