Trucks come in all shapes and sizes, and with the market becoming increasingly competitive among retailers, it's not difficult to see how the average consumer could potentially be overwhelmed when looking to buy a new vehicle. Worry no more: Blue Ribbon Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram understands the challenge of buying with confidence, and we've prepared a list of features for the 2022 Ram 2500 that will help with your purchasing dilemma. 1) LED Trailer Hitch Light Gone are the days of fidgeting with hooks while managing a flashlight in your offhand. With the LED Trailer Hitch Light, you can quickly and soundly hitch up your trailer, day or night. 2) Lane Departure Warning You wouldn't be faulted for straying a bit too close to the margins of a freeway lane every now and again, but situations like that could end up disastrous. With LaneSense® your truck will help you keep your head in the lane before you've even realized it. more 3) Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop Cruise control is a must for any modern vehicle, but few can boast the advanced capability provided with adaptive cruise control. Now your truck can maintain not only a set speed but a set distance from the traffic ahead, all the way down to 0 mph, even with a trailer attached. 4) 15 Degree Turning Headlamps Dim or difficult visibility, unfamiliar and winding paths, long sustained bouts of weather; in all of these situations, you want the most out of your headlights. Fortunately, these specialized headlamps can angle up to 15 degrees to help make those dark roads bright. 5) 360 Degree Surround View Camera Whether you're generally inexperienced at navigating with a trailer, or if you have to work with several different trailers, it can be handy to have some guidance when you're getting around. The surround view camera offers an easy view of both your truck and your trailer. 6) Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking Sometimes people will have to brake suddenly, and sometimes people have to brake to avoid colliding with a braking vehicle in front of them. This feature helps warn the driver, or even apply brakes when an accident is about to occur, bringing the truck and even its trailer to a stop. 7) Uconnect Multimedia System Uconnect is a convenient and user-friendly touchscreen multimedia system built right into your truck. Its smart device connectivity grants it further remote advantages, such as GPS tracking. Though present in other vehicles, few can boast an impressive 12-inch display. While it can be nice to have a marketplace that is abundant in choice, this often causes the common consumer to have their simple needs and requests to be met by complex and unfamiliar products and features. This truck provides simple, useful features at a competitive price: all of this adding up to a product that is impossible to beat.

Purchasing a vehicle isn't a task to be taken lightly. Often, individuals find themselves overwhelmed with information when researching what type of vehicle to buy and how to pay for it. Many automotive purchases are financed, typically through a bank or car dealership. However, buyers should be aware of some significant benefits of receiving their car financing through their local Chrysler dealer. 1. New Vehicle Financing Incentives When you purchase a new vehicle through a dealership, they can offer you incentives that banks cannot. Perks such as cashback and lower interest can turn a good deal into a great one. Often these incentives will fluctuate from month to month and are impacted by buyer prequalification. However, prequalified buyers can consistently receive impressive savings when purchasing a new vehicle. 2. Discount Opportunities Vehicle dealerships can be more flexible with their loan stipulations and rates than banks. Your nearby dealership is also more likely to be able to discount your interest rate. Since they want to help you find the vehicle you'll be happy with at a price point you love, you'll find them more willing to work with you to find an excellent financing option. 3. Longer Loan Terms When you opt for dealer financing, you can take advantage of valuable incentives such as longer loan terms. Dealers can offer the option of extending your loan length, which can make a significant dent in the amount of money you pay towards your car each month. If you find yourself in the situation of needing a reliable vehicle but not having the wiggle room in your budget for a large monthly car payment, this can be a lifesaver. more 4. Access to Multiple Lenders Car dealerships can access incentive programs for automakers, and you may be tempted to try to match these savings elsewhere. However, when you contact outside financial institutions about financing, you'll find that they cannot access or offer these deals. Nevertheless, these programs can save you a hefty amount of change and are worth bringing up to your local dealer. 5. Saves You Time Shopping around for the best automotive loan is a time-consuming process. Buyers who are diligent enough to travel to their local banks will spend hours of their time trying to find the best deal. Unfortunately, this process could take days or weeks for the average individual, which is not practical for most. However, when it comes to dealership financing, you'll be able to receive a quote that same day, provided you bring all the necessary paperwork. 6. The Convenience Factor All other benefits aside, the simplicity of handling your financing through your dealership makes it a wise choice for most people. Purchasing a car can feel stressful, but when you operate with a trusted dealership for your purchase and financing, you'll be able to relax. In addition, your dealership will have a finance manager who gives your information to lenders and helps you find the terms and rates that are the best fit for you. It's time to find the perfect vehicle and financing for your lifestyle. Our team is ready to answer your financing questions and get you behind the wheel of your next car.

Heavy-duty trucks are built to bear the harshness of the building site across its lifespan. That means they are designed with resilience and longevity in mind, often forsaking luxury and tech in the process.  The 2021 Ram 2500 breaks the mold in this and many other regards. This truck merges comfort and infotainment with unrivaled strength and power. Read on to find out why the Ram is one of the best options in its segment. 1. Powerful Engine An incredible 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft of torque are delivered from the 6.8 liter HEMI V8, which comes as standard in the 2500. You would have to upgrade a competitor model to get a similarly powerful engine. A diesel option is also available. The 6.7 liter I6 Cummins turbo-diesel doubles the torque that you get from the gas engine, making it perfect for pulling large cargo. 2. Large Payload How much you can load onto the back is an important factor to consider when choosing your net pickup. All engine types that are available with the 2500 have an extremely impressive payload capacity of 4,010 pounds. The unequaled load-bearing ability of its frame allows it to beat the competition with its hauling prowess. 3. Unbeatable Towing Capabilities Much like the top speed of a supercar, towing capacity is of major importance for any heavy-duty truck. Again, the Ram is top of the class when it comings to pulling power. With the diesel engine installed, the 2500 can tow a truly staggering 19,860 pounds, while the petrol engine can manage a very respectable 17,540 pounds. more 4. Off-Road Ready If you fancy getting off the beaten path and take the road less traveled, the Ram 2500 has you covered. The massive amounts of torque, raised underside, and 4WD potential allows the 2500 to take all terrains in its stride. 5. Top Tech The star of the show here is the 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system which is well-placed within the cabin. The user interface is instinctive and very user-friendly. A giant 12.0-inch upgrade is available. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are installed meaning all smartphone users are catered for. There are five USB ports in the cabin for all your devices. 6. Luxurious and Comfortable Interior Gone are the days when a hard-working vehicle would torture you with inhuman interior design. The materials used are worthy of any top-end luxury vehicle. With comfortable seats and ample storage space, you will have a smile on your face every time you get behind the wheel. The acoustic glass and noise cancellation system means you are separated from the hubbub of the outside world, allowing you to cruise along in peace. 6. Precise handling The 2500 has a wonderful steering system that allows you to control the massive amounts of power under the hood.

If you're hitting the roads in Oklahoma this winter, it's important to remember that severe weather can strike at any time. To make sure you get wherever you need to go, here are some safety tips that can help keep you safe when you're driving on snowy or icy roads this winter. Take it Slow One of the most important things to remember about winter driving in Oklahoma is that you need to drive slowly to account for the lower traction you'll have on snow and ice. Watch the flow of traffic so you can anticipate when you'll need to stop and take time to slow down. When you're ready to accelerate again, do it gently so you can regain traction and avoid sliding. Since you'll need to drive slower than usual, make sure you leave ample time to get to your destination. more Increase Your Following Distance Since you need more distance to slow down on slick roads, you want to increase your following distance to at least three to five car lengths. This increased space will give you the longer distance you need when you have to stop. It's also important to stay at least 200 feet behind snowplows. Plus, since snowplows can create a lot of blowing snow that severely restricts visibility, you should never attempt to pass them when you're on the road. Watch for Ice Ice is one of the most dangerous parts of winter roads. The Federal Highway Administration estimates that every year over 150,000 accidents are the result of icy road conditions. Black ice is particularly hard to see because it freezes so clear it looks like water. If you're driving down the road and your vehicle suddenly starts to slide on ice, don't hit your brakes. Instead, take your foot off of the accelerator and gently turn into the skid. Once you're out of the skid, you can bring the steering wheel back to the direction you want to go. Check Your Tire Pressure Once a Week Every time the temperature outside goes down 10 degrees, the air pressure inside your tires will also decrease around one or two PSI. Under-inflated tires can skid more easily on wet pavement, require more stopping time, can lower your gas mileage, and decrease the lifespan of the tires. To make sure you're not driving around on dangerously under-inflated tires, you should check the pressure once a week. Keep an Emergency Kit in Your Vehicle No matter how much driving you plan on doing this winter, you should keep an emergency kit in your vehicle. Your emergency kit should include a blanket, warm clothes, gloves, ice scraper, shovel, flashlight with extra batteries, jumper cables, sand or cat litter, water, non-perishable food, a first aid kit, and triangles or flares to warn other vehicles. If you get stranded, call for help and stay in your vehicle until assistance arrives. This winter, you'll be able to confidently navigate the roads around Oklahoma when you keep these important safety tips in mind.   Image via jeep.com

Brake fluid is a type of clear hydraulic fluid that absorbs heat and disperses it throughout the brake system so your brakes don't get too hot. Unfortunately, brake fluid can also absorb water or start to run low. If your brake fluid is lower than a half-inch from the top of the reservoir, it's time to add more. If the fluid is dark, it's time to take your vehicle to the service shop to have it replaced. To prevent damage to your brake system, you should have the brake fluid changed once every two years. Have Your Brake Pads Checked Brake pads help your vehicle stop. Yet the friction required to stop a vehicle will cause the pads to wear down over time. You should periodically have your brake pads checked as part of routine maintenance on your vehicle. This should be done at least once a year. One good way to remember this task is to plan on having your brake pads checked at the same time you have your tires rotated. more Use Them as Little as Possible To keep your brakes in good condition, you want to try to use them as little as possible. When you're driving, pay attention to the traffic flow ahead of you so you can coast to a stop instead of having to apply your brakes. Coasting helps preserve your brakes by putting less pressure on them. Additionally, you can keep more distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you so you don't have to hit your brakes every time that vehicle slows down. Listen for Unusual Noises Even though you take care of brakes, parts will start to wear down. This is why you should always listen for unusual sounds coming from your brakes. If your vehicle grinds, shakes, or pulls to one side when you brake, your brakes might need to be checked. A metallic squealing or screeching noise when you brake is a sign that your brake pads need to be replaced. You should also keep an eye on your front tires. If you begin to notice a lack of brake dust, it could be a sign that your brake pads are worn and need to be replaced. Purchase Quality Brakes When it's time to purchase new brakes, it's a good idea to invest in quality, reliable brakes. Your mechanic can determine when it's time to replace your brake pads and brake discs and offer recommendations on the best type for your vehicle. Keep in mind that you'll typically need to replace your brakes every 20,000 to 30,000 miles. Thanks to these helpful tips on how to care for your brakes, you can feel better knowing they'll always be there for you when you need them.
