If you visit our car dealership you’ll find a wide selection of vehicles of all shapes and sizes. At Sansone Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM we’re all about sharing knowledge, and we know plenty about the connection between auto body styles and performance. more What’s the difference between an SUV (sports utility vehicle) and a compact sedan? Or a pickup truck and a minivan? Well, aside from features and engines, the body type of a car can vary dramatically, and it can be one of the vehicle's most defining elements. An SUV for instance, like some of the Jeep models in our showroom, are designed to provide a lot of space for both cargo and passengers. Of course, some SUVs are tailored more for off-roading like the Jeep Wrangler, and in almost any case a well-equipped SUV is going to outperform almost any other kind of vehicle when tested on the trail. On the other hand, pickup trucks are made for drivers who want all utility, cargo capacity, and engine power. Pickup trucks are typically well-powered and have large rear beds for storage. A pickup truck, like the 2020 RAM 1500, would be a great fit for anyone who sees their car more as a workhorse than anything else. And if you compare a pickup truck and a compact sedan in the realm of cargo hauling, the pickup truck will excel by leaps and bounds. So, as you can tell the body type of a car can be a defining factor. Fortunately, if you’re not sure which kind of car to purchase when you visit our showroom at Sansone Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, one of our dealers can help you find the car and body style that fits your lifestyle need.

The kind of tires your vehicle equips can make the difference in performance. Many of our customers at Sansone Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM who visit our RAM, Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep parts center ask us what kind of tires they should buy, and the truth of the matter is that it can all depend on what you expect out of your car. more So, should you purchase off-road tires or street tires? Well, if you plan on taking your vehicle off of the pavement and into the wilderness, it might be worth investing in a set of tires tempered for that kind of driving. Off-road tires are not only durable, but they have deep treads which allow them to hold traction on a wide variety of terrain types including mud, snow, and even sand. However, they may be unnecessary if the most you plan to do is travel on graded roads. If you’re planning on only light trails, or want to stick to the pavement, we instead suggest all-weather tires that excel at street driving but can manage some mild off-roading as well. While far from as durable or versatile as a set of off-road tires, all-weather tires can provide extra traction during rough road conditions. On top of that, all-weather tires won’t cause the extra drag that is associated with hefty off-road tires. If you’re still unsure of what kind of tires to purchase, the auto experts at our car dealership can fill in all of the gaps. At Sansone Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, we strive to provide you with the very best in automotive services in all of Avenel, NJ and beyond.

The new RAM 1500 has impressed many drivers and dealers across the Avenel, NJ area, however, it isn’t the only pickup truck out there. At Sansone Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM we’re always transparent with our customers and are thrilled to give you a brief comparison of the 2020 RAM 1500 and the 2020 Toyota Tundra. more The 2020 Toyota Tundra Rolling fresh off of the factory floor, the 2020 Toyota Tundra is a pickup truck with some potential. The 5.7-liter V8 engine is a quite powerful, that also and it is partnered with a 6-speed automatic transmission. However, drivers may be sorely disappointed as this is the only engine option available, giving drivers a very limited experience all around. The Toyota Tundra also doesn’t offer much in the way of cabin space and only comes in two body styles. On top of that, the one and only V8 engine is a serious gas guzzler, sucking down 18 mpg combined The 2020 RAM 1500 may start with a smaller engine, but that isn’t the only option available to you. The base engine is a 3.6-liter V6 with eTorque technology that dishes out 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft worth of torque, which many drivers will find to be plenty. There are also beefier engine options too, like the 5.7-liter V8 which pumps out 395 horsepower and a tremendous 410 lb-ft worth of torque. The interior of the RAM 1500 offers a much better layout, and like the Toyota Tundra, it also offers two cab options in the form of the Quad Cab and Crew Cab. That said, base models can save a lot on gas by offering a full 23 mpg combined. The 2020 RAM 1500 is a pickup truck designed for pickup truck lovers, and you can take one out for a test-drive at our RAM dealership.

At Sansone Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM, our dealers have a lot to say about this new RAM truck and are excited to showcase just what this beefy workhorse can bring to the table. more In the past, the RAM 1500 was recognized for both its power and wide range of customization options, and that hasn't changed. The 2020 RAM 1500 can be designed for anyone's trucking needs, with trim options including the Tradesman, Big Horn, Lone Star, Rebel, Laramie, Laramie Longhorn, and Limited. Even the base Tradesman model comes well-equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 engine and eTorque mild-hybrid technology to churn out a total of 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft worth of torque. Higher up on the trim ladder are even bigger engines, like the 5.7-liter V8 engine that produces 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft worth of torque.

You could buy your next ride new or used, but our Chrysler, Dodge, RAM, and Jeep® dealers can tell you that leasing is a fantastic third option. At Sansone Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, we believe there is no wrong way to be a car owner, and auto leases are a great way to drive a brand-new car without the financial commitment. more What do you get from an auto lease? Well, unlike an auto loan, a lease assumes that at some point you’ll be returning the vehicle to the dealership. As a result, you don’t have to stress about paying for the full price of the vehicle, which means a far lower monthly payment. In that same vein, a lease is far shorter than your standard auto loan, lasting anywhere between 24 and 48 months. That said, there are some characteristics of an auto leasing agreement that you should be aware of. For one, at the end of the auto lease, you’re expected to pay for any wear and tear on the vehicle. While these wear fees can vary, drivers who want to put a lot of miles on their car should steer clear of a lease agreement. In some cases, auto leases can have strict mileage limits, which can be a deal-breaker for some drivers. If you want to save money, and constantly have something brand new in your driveway, a leasing agreement is the way to go. When you visit our showroom you’ll find a plethora of Jeep, Dodge, RAM, and Chrysler brand vehicles up for lease, and dealers ready to help you navigate every step of the leasing process. At Sansone Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM our number one priority is you, and your auto dealership experience.

Behind the wheel, your last line of defense against a potential collision is your braking system. While every braking system is a little different, regular maintenance is crucial to their continued function. At Sansone Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM, the talented and well-versed technical staff in our Chrysler service center can ensure that all of your brake maintenance needs are met in full. more As we mentioned above, every braking system is different, however, the most common kind of brakes are rotor brakes. Essentially, rotor brakes use a metal disk and calipers to slow the wheels. When you apply the brakes in a rotor braking system, pressurized braking is fluid is sent to the calipers which then push down on the rotor, more or less slowing the vehicle. Drum brakes are another form of braking system, and are typically exclusive to the rear wheels. Like the rotor braking system, drum brakes use a drum and an interior lining. When drum brakes are applied, this interior lining pushes against the rotating drum using friction to slow the vehicle. One question our service experts get a lot is: ‘how do I know it’s time to change my brakes?’ Strangely enough, it’s quite easy to tell whether your brakes are good or bad. In extreme cases, you may notice that your brakes don’t slow the vehicle as effectively. However, long before that, you’ll likely hear excessive screeching when you try to slow down. Your brakes are important, and as such, you should have an auto technical team by your side that knows exactly what they’re doing. At Sansone Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM you’ll find more than just a handful of talented Jeep dealers, but a caring staff that has your best interests in mind at all times.

As a leading Woodbridge area Jeep® dealership of SUVs that are meant for the dirt, mud, snow, and everything in between, we are big enthusiasts of off-roading. So, it only makes sense why our dealers at Sansone Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM would be so interested in comparing something like the Jeep Wrangler against a serious competitor, the Toyota 4Runner. more At first glance, the Toyota 4Runner is bigger and beefier than the Jeep Wrangler, but as you may or may not know looks can be deceiving. Off the jump, we’ll have to hand cargo space over to the Toyota 4Runner. While the Jeep Wrangler does have a decent-sized cabin, particularly the 4-door model, the Toyota 4Runner is simply larger; however, the points for Toyota stop there. When it comes to engine power, one of the key factors that make or break an off-road vehicle, the Jeep Wrangler is a clear winner. While the Toyota 4Runner offers a single 270 horsepower V6 engine that produces 278 lb-ft worth of torque, it falls short of the turbocharged four-cylinder available in new Jee Wrangler models that produce 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft worth of torque. That extra torque matters, especially when trying to mount obstacles. When it comes to how both of these beasts perform in the dirt, the race seems close, but the winner is pretty clear. The Toyota 4Runner is no newbie when it comes to off-roading, thanks to its optional TRD skid plates, but it's hard to compete with something like the Jeep Wrangler. The Dana 44 axles, reinforced skid plates, locking differentials, and all-terrain tires found on the Rubicon model are simply unfazed by any kind of terrain, whether it be rock, mud, sand or snow. So, when it comes to off-roading, choose the classic, Jeep Wrangler. At Sansone Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, our dealers can set you up with a test drive of the new Jeep Wrangler, whether that be the 2019 or 2020 model so you can see just how these off-road juggernauts perform.

In 2019 Jeep® has shown us that just because an SUV is compact doesn’t mean it has to be underpowered. The new 2020 Jeep Renegade is clear evidence of Jeep’s ability to blend the small with the powerful, and you can experience it up close and personal at Sansone Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM of Avenel, NJ. more The Jeep Renegade is a little unusual and is often considered the black sheep of the Jeep family. While the Jeep Renegade wears the skin of a Jeep brand vehicle, it is also the smallest of the lineup. But for its size, the 2020 Jeep Renegade packs a punch. The base model thrusts forward at a rate of 180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft worth of torque thanks to a 2.4-liter inline-4 engine. It also has a more off-road-capable configuration in the form of a 1.3-liter turbo4 that pumps out 177 horsepower and 210 lb-ft worth of torque. In the Trailhawk model, you’ll encounter a compact SUV that is unstoppable on the trail and can keep up with the best of them, Jeep Wrangler models included. Inside, drivers will find plenty of room for activities, with a stellar 50.8 cubic feet of cargo room to take full advantage of. While base models do come pretty bare at the start, it won’t cost you much to upgrade the 2020 Jeep Renegade to include top of the line features like dual-zone climate control, automatic emergency braking, Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™ compatibility, and even a panoramic sunroof. While the Jeep Renegade may not be the beefiest of the Jeep family lineup, it is certainly one of Avenel’s favorite compact SUVs of 2020. If the charm of the Jeep Renegade has rubbed off on you, our Jeep dealers can help you get to know this spunky little SUV better. At Sansone Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM we’re fairly open about our process and are dedicated to helping you make the most out of your dealership experience.

While the exact mechanics of the Jeep Wranglers’ 4x4 drivetrain have changed a lot over the years, it has always been simple and easy to adjust, allowing you to shift your drivetrain according to the terrain without a second thought. Another great aspect of the 2020 Jeep Wrangler is the all-new eTourque system found in two different powertrains. This eTourque system utilizes an electric motor and a battery to not only provide superior thrust and torque when off-roading but to provide a level of fuel efficiency as well. As a result, the latest model of the Jeep Wrangler is the most advanced in the lineup yet. Speaking of advanced technology the new 2020 Jeep Wrangler is also packed with a variety of active safety features that were hard to find in previous iterations.
