What Are the Benefits of an Electric Jeep®?
As your premier local Jeep® dealers, we are of course obsessed with the news surrounding a potential electric-powered Jeep. While you won’t currently find an electric Jeep SUV anywhere at Sansone Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, you can certainly expect some of these rugged fuel-sipping off-road champs at our dealership in the near future.
Recently rumors have been building about the potential of a plug-in hybrid version of both the Jeep Renegade and the Jeep Wrangler. While its somewhat easy to imagine what an electric Jeep Renegade might perform like, an electric Jeep Wrangler is something of a fantasy.
The current line of Jeep Wranglers hitting the road today are off-road champions, unafraid of even the worst trails and runs in Moab, Utah. That said, they’re powered by classic combustion engines, which provide plenty of power and torque when you need it. Although, an electric Jeep Wrangler might actually be better taking on the trail.
As it turns out electric motors transfer power to the wheels much faster and much more efficiently than gasoline engines. In a gasoline-powered engine, you end up losing a lot of energy as it moves from the cylinders to the wheels. Whereas, the movement of power from an electric motor to the wheels is far more instantaneous and nearly no energy is lost. So that means, an electric Jeep might perform far better off the pavement than a classic gasoline-powered Jeep.
The future electric Jeep model lineup is still a way out, but you can check out what’s currently offered at Sansone Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, and we can talk more about what you should be able to expect from this future line of SUVs.
Tips for Navigating Common Road Hazards
Nowadays, cars are designed to do more than just protect drivers during an accident; they can also help prevent accidents altogether. At Sansone Chrysler Jeep® Dodge RAM, we understand just how hazardous driving can be, and that our wide selection of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and RAM trucks can help provide peace of mind while on the road.
The road can be unpredictable, that said there are a number of common hazards that a wide majority of drivers are bound to interact with. For instance, poor weather can impose a serious danger for drivers, particularly the weather of the Avenel, NJ area during Fall and Winter can be pretty drastic for road conditions. Fortunately, the AWD and 4×4 drivetrains found in many of our vehicles provide great traction and support even when road conditions are at their worst.
Other drivers can also pose a significant risk, especially reckless ones. No matter if you’re speeding down the highway, or cruising in your local neighborhood, a dangerous driver can rear their head wherever and whenever. Thankfully, features like forward-collision warnings and automatic emergency braking can alert you and even stop your vehicle before you collide with another vehicle. Blind-spot detection can alert you even when drivers are passing within your blind-spots. Adaptive cruise control is another incredible feature that can automatically adjust your cruise control to the flow of traffic, helping you react in time with other drivers on the road.
No matter what safety feature has caught your attention, our new car dealers at Sansone Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM can help fit you with your ideal vehicle. Our number one goal is always to earn your complete satisfaction.
What Makes the Ultimate Off-Road Vehicle?
At Sansone Chrysler Jeep® Dodge RAM, we understand that some drivers look for a vehicle that is ready to take on more than just the open road. Some desire a vehicle that is fully equipped for off-road, adventurous driving. That said, there is a list of things you should be mindful of when picking the ultimate off-road-ready vessel.
There is a wide range of elements that makes a vehicle off-road ready. One of these many factors is the kind of tires you have tucked beneath your car. While you may find success using regular street tires for some light trail running, if you want the best performance, we recommend tires that are tempered for the trail. Highly durable and equipped with more robust tread depth, off-road tires can provide a much more fulfilling off-road experience.
If you’ve ever had a look at some of our Jeep SUVs near Woodbridge, NJ that are off-road ready, you may have noticed just how high they sit off the ground. This factor is known as ground clearance, and it can make a huge difference when traversing off the grid. Vehicles with a high ground clearance can better avoid the hazards and obstacles found on the trail, and it can protect some key components from being damaged on your run. Similarly, we recommend skid plates to help protect the undercarriage of your vehicle.
Possibly the most important factor in having a great off-road vehicle is the drivetrain your vehicle sports. Vehicles with either a 4×4 or AWD drivetrain send power to all four wheels, providing greater traction and greater capability when maneuvering in the great outdoors.
If you’re looking for the ultimate off-road vehicle, there’s nowhere better to turn than Sansone Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM. Get in touch with our car dealers today to learn more!
Tire Buying Guide in Avenel, NJ
When you visit Sansone Chrysler Jeep® Dodge RAM, you’ll find a team of Avenel, NJ dealers who are committed to ensuring your satisfaction, whether you’re coming in for a new RAM truck or a tire rotation. One of the many services that we offer at our NJ car dealership is tire buying guidance, and as you may have not expected, a lot actually goes into buying the right set of tires for your vehicle.
Your tires are the foundation of your vehicle. As the base for traction and weight support, your tires make all the difference in your driving experience. From speed-tested performance tires to rugged off-road champions, there are a lot of different kinds of tires to consider, and knowing the factors that influence their differences can help point you in the right direction toward buying the tire that best fits your automotive needs.
One of the major factors involved in tire buying is the speed rating of your particular tire. The speed rating is the limit of speed or heat-caused friction that a tire can withstand. Typically, tires that possess a high-speed rating are going to perform better beneath the chassis of performance vehicles.
Another factor is the load index of a set of tires. The load index is the amount of weight that your tires can uphold. Tires with a high load index are ideal in SUVs and pickup trucks that are designed for cargo hauling and towing, and won’t quit out on you when in a pinch.
These are just some of the factors contributing to the tire selecting and buying process. Fortunately, when you visit our Jeep, RAM, Dodge, and Chrysler parts department, you’ll find a team of tire experts who can help you find the set that best matches your car and driving style. Here at Sansone Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM, you can always expect the best of the best.

First Look at the 2020 Jeep® Grand Cherokee
At Sansone Chrysler Jeep® Dodge RAM of Avenel, NJ, we believe a great used and new car dealer should do more than just sell great cars, they should also have their finger on the pulse of the latest in automotive news. So, in that effort, we’re excited to share our first look at the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee, expected to hit showroom floors in the Fall of 2019.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee has always been the largest and most robust of the Jeep family lineup. As other SUVs from other manufacturers have become smaller and smaller, the Jeep Grand Cherokee has continued offering the truest SUV driving experience, and the 2020 model is expected to be no different.
The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee sits at the top of the 2020 lineup, as a true powerhouse. The standard model is expected to come with a 293 horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine which is already one of the most powerful engines out of the Jeep SUV family. That said, this roaring V6 can be bumped up to a 6.4-liter V8 engine which provides a significant boost to performance offering up 707 horsepower and 645 lb-ft worth of torque. So, yes, that means the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee is going to be a champion of towing and this powerful SUV is expected to have a towing capacity nearing 7,200 lb.
The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee is going to be more than just a powerhouse, it is also going to be equipped with the latest in automotive safety and self-driving technology. The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee will be able to change lanes, accelerate, and steer automatically thanks to a suite of cutting-edge automotive technology.

Summer Car Care Tips
Here at Sansone Chrysler Jeep® Dodge RAM, we believe that no driver should handle maintenance on their own. Whether you’re behind the wheel of a new Dodge car or have been driving the same Jeep SUV for years, our service team is here for you to ensure you continue driving safely, efficiently, and optimally.
Of all the seasons to be concerned about car maintenance, summer is possibly the most important. With summer comes heat, which can put quite a lot of strain on your vehicle. While engines typically run hot, they have a limit to the amount of high-temperature they can withstand.
Fortunately, your vehicle’s cooling system counteracts this rising heat. However, it too has a breaking point. So, we recommend that drivers do the proper maintenance in order to ensure all components are operating at peak capacity.
For example, replacing your air filters before summer can ensure that your engine continues to get clean cool air, which can allow it to better regulate engine temperature. We also recommend that drivers keep a careful eye on their engine coolant levels. If your coolant is running low we also suggest that you only add more once your engine is completely cooled as the remaining coolant can become pressurized and can risk severely burning you. Lastly, we urge drivers to have their air conditioning inspected before the summer season sets in full. Summers in and around Avenel, NJ can get pretty sweltering, and having a working AC can do wonders for your drive.
No matter what the time of year may be, our Chrysler, Jeep, RAM and Dodge service team is here for your every maintenance need. At Sansone Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM we strive to be your one-stop-automotive-shop and work tirelessly to ensure your car continues running smoothly all year long.
What to Look for in Adventure-Ready Vehicles
If you’re looking for a team of used or new car dealers that has your best interest in mind, you certainly won’t be disappointed by Sansone Chrysler Jeep® Dodge RAM. We pride ourselves in customer service excellence and will go the extra mile to help you find a vehicle that matches your lifestyle perfectly.
We understand that every driver is different, and drivers who can’t get enough of adventure and the outdoors tend to want a vehicle that is up for a task. These are vehicles that are durable, rugged, and versatile both on and off the pavement. When helping these kinds of drivers find the vehicle of their dreams, there are certain characteristics that we look out for.
One is fuel efficiency. An adventure-ready car should be able to sip gas for those long-distance road trips and grand adventures into the wilderness. At the same time, we also seek vehicles that are rugged and ready for anything. These kinds of vehicles are tooled with an AWD or 4WD drivetrain and can handle both dirt and pavement with ease. We also keep an eye out for SUVs and trucks. These kinds of vehicles offer just the right amount of utility and provide extra room for both gear and passengers.
Of all the vehicles that we offer at our dealership, the 2019 Jeep Renegade best fits this idea of a perfect adventure-ready vehicle. Earning 24 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway, this Jeep SUV is certainly fuel efficient. Certain trim options of the Jeep Renegade also offer a 4×4 drivetrain and is equipped with Jeep’s famous off-road system. Lastly, the Jeep Renegade is compact-SUV offering plenty of leg and cargo room.
If you’re looking to test drive the latest Jeep Renegade or any of our other Chrysler, Dodge, RAM, or Jeep models, our team can set you up with a test drive. At Sansone Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM, we believe the best way to know whether a car is right for you is to sit behind the wheel.
Top Safety Features in FCA US LCC Vehicles
If you’re looking to purchase a vehicle, you should receive guidance from an NJ Jeep® dealer that has your best interest in mind; and you can find just that at Sansone Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM. We understand all the factors that go into car buying, and safety should be at the top of your priority list.
The term ‘automotive safety’ has changed a lot over the years. In the past, automotive safety included features that protect drivers and passengers in the event of a crash. These included things like seatbelts and airbags, things we take for granted today. However, that has shifted dramatically, and the FCA US LLC lineup exists at the bleeding edge of this safety tech revolution.
One top modern safety feature found in our fleet of vehicles is blind-spot monitoring. Blind-spot monitoring uses sensors to alert drivers when other vehicles enter either blind spot area to provide greater awareness while on the road.
Adaptive cruise control is another innovative smart safety feature that is drastically changing the way we drive for the better. Adaptive cruise control automatically adjusts your set speed in correlation to the speed of the vehicle in front of you. This smart safety feature works by scanning the road ahead of the vehicle using a complex array of cameras and sensors.
Lastly, lane departure warning makes the dangerous risk of lane drift a thing of the past. Lane departure warning provides clear alerts when you’ve drifted out of the lane, and it can automatically guide you safely back into your lane should you fail to take action.
You can find these incredible safety features and many more in the wide variety of 2019 Dodge, RAM, Jeep, and Chrysler models in our showroom. When you visit Sansone Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM for a test drive, our team will give you a comprehensive breakdown of how these safety system work, and how they’ll protect you on the road.
