Buying A Used Dodge Ram – Used Dodge Trucks In Oklahoma

Friday, January 8th, 2010

Finding a good used Dodge Ram pickup involves doing some research and understanding the intended purpose of the truck. Many people purchase a pickup truck because of the convenience to transport large items. Others may select a pickup truck like the Dodge Ram specifically due to their line of work such as general contractors or landscaping companies.

When considering which Dodge Ram suits your needs there are many factors that can help save you some money by avoiding the heavy duty models which may be overkill for your application.

First thing that comes to mind about the benefits in driving a full size pickup like the Dodge Ram other than hauling capacity is ride quality. If you live in an area where roads are poorly maintained or perhaps in a rural area, the comfort during your drive is significantly improved in a larger sized truck. The Dodge Ram is an extremely solid truck that can change your daily driving experience from being jolted around to effectively handling serious potholes as if they were not even there.

The comfort in driving something as solid as a Dodge Ram comes from the entire vehicle structure being built for rough road conditions and it’s meant specifically to withstand them. Finding one that has been properly maintained is important in providing that experience.

Maintaining a Dodge Ram and the parts they were built with that complete the overall structure is very important. Some Dodge Ram owners may choose to replace parts with aftermarket Dodge replacement parts of lower quality. These will degrade over time and may lead to additional and costly repairs.

Finding a good solid Dodge Ram is best accomplished by knowing specifically what you want and ensuring the vehicle was properly maintained, have it inspected by a competent facility, preferably your local Dodge dealer.

Today with all the online resources at your disposal, finding a Dodge Ram for sale is not an impossible task, but considering your time and the overall ownership experience, finding a dealership who knows the Dodge Ram in finite detail can serve you well in getting exactly what you need.

Dodge Journey Movin’ Oklahoma

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

Midsize crossover vehicle makes great use of its innovative interior space.

The Dodge Journey is a great example of what a car company can achieve when it focuses the sum of its experiences to create one of the most practical, utility-minded and comfortable midsize crossover vehicles available.

The Dodge Journey (MSRP $21,600) strikes a balance between the minivans the brand is famous for and more truck-like sport utility vehicles like the Durango. In terms of exterior styling, the Journey is undeniably a Dodge, bearing the ram’s head logo proudly on the large crosshair grille with which the company has become associated. Although the vehicle’s profile suggests the Grand Caravan in terms of its greenhouse presentation and roofline, a shorter rear deck and greater ground clearance place it firmly in the crossover category. Additional sporty fender flares remove any doubt that the Journey bears anything more than a tangential relation to its minivan cousin.

The most attractive features that set the Journey apart from other crossovers can be found once any of its four doors are opened and the interior is examined for the first time. Capable of transporting up to seven passengers thanks to an optional third row of seating, the Journey is a competent people mover that incorporates several innovations into its cabin management. Stadium seating prevents those riding in the back from feeling lost in the shuffle during a road trip, and the Tilt ‘n Slide feature makes it easy to access that final row of seating by getting the second row up and out of the way in a hurry. Every seat save that of the driver folds forward in order to provide for a nine-foot cargo bay that can accommodate up to 67.6 cubic feet of luggage or other gear. The front passenger position also offers a storage bin that is hidden under the lower portion of the seat cushion, accessible via a simple forward flip.
