How to Check Your Tire Pressure?

 
Maintaining your vehicle's tires at the recommended pressure levels is crucial. Such tires provide better on-road traction and braking. They enable you to navigate corners safely and efficiently. Good tire pressure decreases the risk of premature tire wearing. Refer to your owner's manual to be informed about the right tire pressure for your vehicle model. 

Visit our tire and auto service center in Tallassee for any tire issues.
You can check the tire pressure on your own and prevent problems due to loss of pressure.

  • Ensure that the tires are "cold" before you start to check the pressure. Tires are "cold" in the early morning when you have not started your vehicle yet. You can bring tires to a "cold" condition by letting the car sit in the shade for 3 to 4 hours after driving.

  • Bringing tires to a "cold" condition is key to getting accurate pressure reading. Tires get hot after the vehicle has been in use. This increases the pressure. If you gauge the pressure in this condition, then the reading is high and inaccurate.

  • Lowering the pressure of hot tires is not recommended. Pressure decreases as tires cool. This will further reduce the pressure and the reading is usually incorrect.
  • Remove the cap on the tire's valve stem.
  • Press the gauging device into the valve stem. In case of a digital gauge, the reading should be immediately visible.

    If you are using a pointer or stick-type gauge, then wait for the pointer to move, or the stick to pop out, respectively, to view the reading.
  • Do not be concerned if you hear a "pssst" sound. This is the sound of air being released from the tire. This release will not have any significant impact on the reading.
  • Compare the pressure with the level specified in the vehicle manual.
If it is below the recommended level, then you could inflate the tire using an air compressor on your own. Bring the pressure to the recommended level. Check the pressure again following the above steps.

If the pressure is high, then release some air, and check the pressure again. Repeat till you get the reading specified in your manual. 

You can bring your vehicle to our auto shop at Tallassee in AL. Our certified technicians will check tire pressure and fill them to appropriate levels. We can get the job done faster, saving you time and efforts. If you are in Wetumpka, Auburn, or Montgomery, then we are only a short drive away from you.

5 Benefits of Setting Up Your HomeLink Jeep Garage Door Opener
 

Jeep vehicles now come with a HomeLink system that allows them to connect to the garage doors. This way, you can open and close the gates by touching a dial in your car. Now that every carmaker in the country understands the ease of access it offers, the HomeLink system's reputation has been growing. In this article, we will be discussing the 5 benefits you will experience by setting up your HomeLink system.

Easy to Program 
Programming HomeLink is simple as it automatically locates and synchronizes with the original transmitter's code. This makes programming quick and easy.

Compatible
The HomeLink system works with hundreds and thousands of different gate systems and garage door openers.

Convenient 
You will always find HomeLink in the same place. It will be right in your jeep ready to respond. You won't have to search for the remote control of the garage door.

Versatile
The HomeLink system is capable of controlling property gates, garage doors, alarm systems, interior and exterior lighting, and more.

No Batteries
 Instead of batteries, the HomeLink system gets its power from the electrical system of your automobile.

Needless to say, the HomeLink system offers a multitude of benefits. However, in order to enjoy these benefits, you must know how to program the garage door opener. Here is how you can set up the HomeLink system:

Keep the old garage door opener about 3 inches away from your vehicle's HomeLink system. Select a button on the system to act as the switch for opening the garage doors. Push the two buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds.

Continue doing this until the message on the EVIC of your vehicle changes from "Training" to "Trained". If the message doesn't change even after a while, don't panic. It just means that your garage doors have built-in extra security.

Go to your garage doors and click on the "Smart/Learn" button to start programming. Immediately get back to your vehicle and keep on pressing the HomeLink button until the EVIC message shifts to "Trained".

If the message is not still changed to "Trained", you have to be patient. For some vehicles, you will need to repeat the last step once or twice. To know more about how to connect Jeep garage door opener, contact the experts at the Tallassee CJD dealership in Tallassee, AL.

RAM is Awarded Truck of the Year

 

Continuing its streak of wins, the RAM 1500 was named the "Truck of the Year (2021)" by MotorTrend again. It is the first time in the publications 71 year history that a company has won the award 3 times in a row. Ram has been doing tremendously well and has won 6 out the 10 titles in the last decade.

The prestigious award is bestowed upon a vehicle that has great value for money. Mostly it also provides a superior experience as compared to its contemporaries and has better performance too. The truck market is brutally competitive, and being only a decade old as a standalone company, Ram has done everything right. The three consecutive awards are a testament to the quality and of the trucks made by Ram. They are also an insignia of the faith put into the brand by the customers and critics alike to make it better than ever. 

Features 
Ram offers a manual transmission for its 2500 and 3500 option when paired with Cummins engine. This makes it appealing to all the enthusiasts as well as seasoned drivers who like the stick shift. When it comes to safety, most people do not pay heed to it, especially in the pickup truck market. Ram scores high on this front too and takes the cake. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety recently changed its criteria for being the best in class and made it a lot stricter. The 2021 Ram fared well here too and was able to bag the "Top Safety Pick", a first for a pickup truck.

Ram is the first in its segment to offer a 100lbs-ft torque all thanks to a revised Cummins engine. Also, the towing capacity of the Ram 3500 is 37,000 lbs, which is class-leading. Over the last 3 decades, RAM accounts for the highest percentage of pickup trucks on the road, and we don't think this is going to change anytime soon.

Where to Find
If you are in Montogomery, Auburn or Weptumka, make sure to visit your Tallassee Ram dealer. We will be more than happy to guide you through the trim options and test ride your vehicle to make up your mind.

Chrysler 300 Touring vs. 300c vs. 300s: Trim Level Comparison

 

Chrysler 200 is a large SUB that offers a bold exterior design and powerful engine options. Even though it is not lightweight, the ride it offers is so comfortable that it makes up for it. The car comes with a long list of features - standard and available, that makes it the perfect blend of power and comfort. In this article, we will be comparing the three trim levels of Chrysler - Chrysler 300 Touring, 300c, and 300s.

Chrysler 300 Touring
The Chrysler 300 Touring is proof why luxury classification is important. Like all trim levels, there are four-doors and ample space for seating 5 people. It is powered by a 3.6 litre V6 engine along with 8-speed automatic transmission. 

This entry-level trim comes with power-adjustment and cloth upholstery for the driver-seat. Other features of the Touring includes Dual-zone automatic climate control, Uconnect 4C system, 8.4-inch touchscreen, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a six-speaker stereo system, and 4G LTE WiFi.

Chrysler 300s
Even though 300S gets its power from the same V6 engine, it is capable of producing 300 hp and 264 lb.ft. of torque. This trim comes with black trim pieces and accents along with fun paddle shifters for the driver's seats. 

300S can add the SafetyTec Plus Group that includes popular features like blind-spot monitor, lane departure warning, rain-activated windshield wipers, forward collision warning, and automatic high beams. It is also possible to add GPS Navigation to this trim level.

Chrysler 300c
This trim level is powered by a 5.7 liter Hemi V8 engine that produces 363 hp and 394 lb. ft. of torque. It also includes bigger brakes to get an enhanced performance feel. Chrysler 300 tow points are located on the front-end frame that can help hook a tow chain to the car.

The 300C comes with high intensity high and low beams with a unique-looking grille. There are multiple exterior accents with a platinum finish. On the inside, it has an upholstery made of quilted leather. The natural-pore wood in the interiors gives the car a high-class look. There is also an option for luxury floor mats.

If you are looking for performance, you would want to consider the 300S upgraded to the 300C trim levels. Even though both are appealing, the former has more performance features and less cost. If you want a well-rounded vehicle that offers plenty of amenities and a comfortable ride, Touring is the one. For the thrill-seeking drivers, 300C is the model to go for. 

In case you are having trouble making the decision, head to the Tallassee CJD dealership for a test drive.

How To Save Money When Buying Gas

 
Cars that cover significant distances can really pile on the pressure on owners who have to bear with paying high gas prices every year. However, there are various ways of saving money on gas, and in this post, we'll talk about some of them in detail.

The first thing you can do to save money on gas is to purchase a car with decent fuel economy. If you live in and around Montgomery, Auburn, or Wetumpka, and want to check out some cars that offer quality gas mileage, visit Tallassee CJD in Tallassee, AL.

1. Join Reward Programs
There are numerous gas rewards programs that are typically offered by big gas station chains. Such rewards programs may be available on a loyalty basis or through credit card companies that have tie-ups with the chains. If you're applying for a special credit card to save money, ensure that you don't use it for other purposes for maximizing your rewards and minimizing debt. 

2. Use Tools for Gas Price Comparison 
Several tools allow car owners to find out available fuel rewards at their nearest gas stations. As these tools depend on users to update information regarding the latest premium gas offers, the available information may not always reflect accurate information. However, they're still quite reliable.

3. Maintain Tire Pressure
Saving those dollars on gas isn't always down to discounts and reward programs. Sometimes, it's all about your car's tire pressure, which needs to be at its optimum level to make your car more fuel efficient. Checking tire pressure is dirt cheap and many gas stations offer free air as well.

4. Warehouse Club Membership
Warehouse club memberships can be beneficial in several ways and not just for saving your money on gas. Even though the initial cost of membership may be high for some clubs, most are affordable.

The best way to save money when buying gas is to combine all four of the tips stated above.

Teaching Your Teen How To Drive

 
If you live in Auburn, Montgomery, or Wetumpka, you're most welcome to visit Tallassee CJD in Tallassee, AL, where you can look for a wide selection of cars and car accessories.  In this special post, we're going to talk about how to teach your teen to drive effectively, because after all, driving is a major life skill.

1. Familiarize Your Teen With the Car
Before you step into the car with your teen for a drive, you must talk about the basics and familiarize him/her with the fundamentals of the car. The first stage of teaching is all about orientation, and it involves learning about fuelling the vehicle, inflating the tires, checking the oil, changing tires, fastening seat belts, starting and stopping the engine, turning the headlights on and off, turning the windshield wipers on and off, and understanding the dashboard.

2. Start Letting Your Teen Drive
After your teen has made it through stage 1 successfully, it's time to slowly get him/her acclimatized to the steering wheel. This stage involves backing the car safely, making safe turns, signaling, shifting gears (if the car has a manual transmission), and stopping the car smoothly.

3. Let Your Teen Tackle Local Roads
Now that your teen has some idea about maneuvering a car safely and using its brakes, it's time to let him/her tackle the roads. It's best to start exploring the roads in the vicinity of your home without taking to the highways. The third stage involves driving courteously, making safe and smooth lane changes, navigating through intersections, obeying traffic signs, operating within speed limits, checking blind spots, and using mirrors.

4. Help Your Teen Learn and Master Parking
Parking skills are just as important as driving skills, and in this fourth stage, you should help your teen develop the former. It involves parking on hills (facing both downhill and uphill), safe parallel parking, and pulling into and out of a diagonal space and a 90-degree space. Teaching your teen how to make U-turns and three-point turns is also a good idea at this stage.

It's best to wait until your teen has successfully mastered the four stages mentioned above when it comes to advanced skills. We hope you found this post useful. Visit us at Tallassee CJD in Tallassee, AL, near Wetumpka, Auburn, and Montgomery.

When it hits dealerships, residents living across Montgomery, Auburn and, Wetumpka are recommended to visit us at Tallassee CJD for a first-hand look at the special edition SUV.

  • Bright white
  • Diamond black
  • Granite crystal
  • Hydro blue
  • Light brownstone
  • Olive green
  • Sangria
  • Slate blue
  • Spitfire orange
  • Velvet red
Features
The 2021 Jeep Cherokee 80th Anniversary 4x4 is not as feature-packed as the Jeep Grand Cherokee's 80th Anniversary edition. However, it still manages to impress with features such as:
  • 19" wheels with a granite crystal finish
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Uconnect system
  • Dual-zone climate control
  • Leather seats with light tungsten accents
The only major drawback of the 2021 Jeep Cherokee 80th Anniversary 4x4 in comparison to the Grand Cherokee is the lack of the ProTech II package, which is a suite of safety features.

Fuel Economy

All in all, the 2021 Jeep Cherokee 80th Anniversary 4x4 is a car that's best-suited for off-roading. Even though the ProTech II package is missing, the car does have safety features such as active lane control and automatic emergency braking. The car has also been rated highly for its safety standards by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

Benefits of Purchasing an Extended Warranty
 

If you plan on driving your car in Tallassee, AL, for the long term, then you'll need an extended warranty. 

An extended warranty starts when your vehicle's original manufacturer's warranty comes to an end. The original warranty usually lasts between two to four years, depending on the manufacturer, make and model.

Some original warranties also count mileage, so 3 years/ 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. But more and more people are keeping their cars longer now. That means that unless you get an extended warranty, you could have to pay for costly repairs yourself later on. If anything happens to your car after the original warranty period ends, you'll be responsible for its repair. You'll also have to pay for regular servicing and maintenance.
How can an extended warranty help?

An extended warranty starts from the point the manufacturer warranties expire, and provides many of the same benefits. Here are the benefits of getting an extended warranty:

Choices in Policies
You aren't limited to buying an extended warranty from the manufacturer. Although these have many benefits, such as original parts used in repairs, and company technicians doing maintenance service, there are other options. Many dealerships also offer extended warranty choices, as do companies. You can find one that best suits your needs.

Avoid Costly Repairs
Extended warranties are a pre-emptive protection plan for your car. Without an extended warranty, you'll have to cover the costs of inevitable wear and tears yourself.

Types of Coverage
When you purchase an extended warranty, you get three kinds of coverage. The first is a comprehensive coverage that will cover the main electrical and mechanical components up to a limited number of years and/or mileage. This depends on the warranty provider, but a common example is 6years/60,000 miles, whichever comes first. You also get a limited powertrain warranty, as well as bumper to bumper coverage options.

Protect Your Investment
Buying a car is an expensive investment. Your car may need unexpected repairs after the original warranty period ends. At the repair shop, you'll have to pay for the repairs yourself. An extended warranty provides coverage for both the parts as well as labor costs for these repairs, as well as general maintenance.

Maintain Re-sale Value
If your car has extended warranty, then you'll get a better price for it when you try to sell it later. If a car has extended warranty, this shows it was maintained. Keep your peace of mind when it comes to maintaining your car over the long term.

Roadside Assistance: Most extended warranties from the original manufacturer come with 24/7 Roadside Assistance.

If you live in Auburn, Montgomery, or Weptumka in AL, then visit our Tallassee CJD dealership in Tallassee, AL, to get an extended warranty for your car!

What Does Jeep Trail Rated Mean?

 

Trail Rated Jeep models were introduced for the first time in 2004. According to the strict specifications laid down by the Jeep Company, jeep owners could be assured of models that were noted for being called "trail worthy". The reputed car company made the criteria of this distinction on the basis of disciplined Jeep assessments. Vehicles are tested on five criteria:

  • Water fording

  • Maneuverability

  • Traction of the vehicle

  • Ground clearance

  • Off-road articulation

After Jeep vehicles withstand this vigorous evaluation, they are given a trail rated badge to let jeep owners know that cars have passed the toughest tests of strength and power. It's a matter of great pride for owners to own such a vehicle.

The Real Test of a Jeep

As we dealers know, prospective Jeep owners will likely want a badge of distinction on the cars they invest in. Located in Alabama, we are ready to show potential Jeep buyers in the Montgomery, Auburn and Wetumpka areas, what it takes to be a Jeep. A Trail Rated Jeep vehicle can handle bad weather conditions due to its superb traction. You can hit the trails in Jeep vehicles as they have superior maneuverability as a result of precision steering. Optimization of wheels gives any driver effective navigation ability even in paths affected by water fording.

The Top Guns

Among Jeeps, the only models that have the distinction of being certified as "trail rated" are the Jeep Wrangler, Compass, Renegade, Cherokee and Grand Cherokee. These cars will deliver a great ride on most terrain even over rocky areas and tree stumps. They push ahead without any damage to the vehicle and maximum suspension of the vehicle is adept at handling rough and tough spots. Trail Rated Jeeps have been known to traverse up to 30 inches of water comfortably.

Jeep owners are an exclusive lot that love their Jeeps. Many Jeep owners with trail rated Jeeps have experienced these circumstances and can attest to the capability of these vehicles. You needn't wait to test it on rough roads. Call us to test drive a Trail Rated Jeep if you're in the areas near Montgomery, Auburn and/or Wetumpka anytime!

Why Is My Check Engine Light On?


 

Driving along a quiet Alabama street and your check engine light pops up. There is nothing to panic about. If you are familiar with car engines, all the usual checks can be done before driving off to a garage.

Reasons the check engine light is on

1. A Faulty Circuit

Fuses, connectors, wires constitute the circuit of a car. Any slight aberration will light up the warning light.

2. Ignition System

Appropriate compression, spark plugs, and air-fuel mix are primary ignition operations. If the engine misfires, the check light will turn on. 

3. Sensor

The engine and transmission of new models rely heavily on sensors. If any of the sensors fail, the engine check light will flare.

4. Auto Transmission

The module that controls automatic transmission is directly responsible for turning on the warning lights.

5. Engine Mechanics

Mechanical problems in the engine can result in compression loss. Increased emissions and engine misfire will get the check engine light turned on.

6. Air Fuel Mixture

Exhaust emissions increase when the proportion of fuel and air varies from the prescribed ratio of your model. As a direct result, check engine light turns on.

7. Data Network and Module

New age cars have a lot of cool features that depend heavily on codes run by computer modules. The modules interact over a data network. Issues with the code readers can cause the check engine light to turn on. 

8. Emission Equipment

A malfunction of the exhaust system or the catalytic converter will turn on the check engine light. If the exhaust gas regulator produces carbon monoxide than usual levels, the engine check light will turn on. 

9.) Automotive Oxygen Sensor

These sensors are responsible for the air-fuel ratio. If one of them fails, the warning light will be triggered.

A blinking engine check light needs immediate attention. Make sure you park the car safely and call emergency services for help. Alternatively, if you are in Montgomery, Auburn or Weptumka when your check engine light glows, you can head over to Tallasee AL. The experts here will be happy to help.

How Often Should You Do Tire Rotation and Balance?

 

Tire rotation and balancing are important services that every car owner must take seriously. By going in for regular rotation and balancing of your car tires, you can be confident that your car is always in great shape and also ensure your safety on the road. 

The regularity of tire rotation and balancing may vary depending on which vehicle you have. Different factors such as the make, model, manufacturer, etc. may come into play. When you buy your car, you will receive an owner's manual where the recommended rotation schedule will be provided by the manufacturer. 

For most vehicles, a tire rotation and balancing is recommended after every six months, or after every 6,000 to 8,000 miles that you drive. So, it is more or less similar to how often you have to change your oil. Every time you bring in your vehicle for an oil change, it is suggested that you also rotate and balance your tires. 

Why You Shouldn't Ignore Tire Rotation And Balancing 

Tire rotation, as the name suggests, involves the process of removing your car tires from their current positions and then moving them to other positions. For example, you may switch your front tires for your back tires. 

The other process, tire balancing, involves correcting the positions of the wheels and tires, and sometimes, small weights may be attached to the tires or wheels. The goal is to ensure an even distribution of the combined weight of all the wheels and tires.

This may seem like a very simple process but it does a lot for your safety on the road. The more miles that your car has traveled, the more work that your tires do, and the more uneven they become. This imbalance causes your car to shake and vibrate, giving you an extremely uncomfortable ride. 

With tire rotation and balancing, you can ensure that your tires are properly balanced and that their weight is evenly distributed so you can have a smooth and seamless ride. 

At Tallassee CJD, we offer our customers excellent tire rotation and balancing.

As a dealership located in Tallassee, AL, we are just a short drive from neighboring cities like Montgomery, Auburn, and Weptumka, and have been serving customers from these areas as well.

Feel free to give us a visit for tire rotation and balancing carried out by experienced technicians.

2020 Dodge Charger versus the 2020 Dodge Challenger

 
When it comes to muscle cars, both the Dodge Charger and the Dodge Challenger have strong reputations that they successfully defend. Powerful, affordable, and full of upgrades that give you a personalized driving experience, both these cars from Dodge will turn heads no matter where you drive in Tallassee, Alabama.

Where the main difference lies between the 2020 Dodge Charger and the Challenger, lies in the functions they serve. The 2020 Dodge Charger is a four-door sedan with amazing safety ratings that is perfect for anyone looking for a muscle car to drive their family around in. On the other hand, the 2020 Dodge Challenger is built for speed, and to that end, is smaller in size than the Dodge Charger.

What are the differences between the 2020 Dodge Charger and the 2020 Dodge Challenger?
When it comes to the engines and powertrains, both the 2020 Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger provide very similar offerings. They both use a 3.6-liter V6 base engine, and the most powerful engine used in both the lines is the 6.2-liter supercharger HEMI High Output SRT V8 engine. Rear-wheel drive is the standard drivetrain in both the Charger and the Challenger, and all-wheel drive is only available with the lower end trim levels in both the cars from Dodge.

The 2020 Dodge Charger is slightly more expensive than the Challenger, with a starting price of $29,895 against the Challenger's $27,995. But given that the Charger is a four-door sedan with ample interior space, the additional amount carries over in what you get. The additional space in the 2020 Dodge Charger is one of the areas where it successfully stands out against the Challenger. While both the cars seat five passengers, rear-seat passengers can feel cramped in the Challenger while the Charger comes with sufficient legroom, alongside an additional full-sized door that rear-seat passengers can use to get in and out of the car comfortable.

Both the 2020 Dodge Charger and the Dodge Challenger have similar fuel economies, and have an MPG of 19 within the city and 30 on the highway. The Dodge Charger has 292 Horsepower and provides 262 lb-ft of torque in the base level, against the Challenger's slightly better 303 Horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque. 

The infotainment features are also similar on both these muscle cars. They both come with the Uconnect 4 infotainment system, keyless entry, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, and more.

If you are looking for a car that you want to safely drive your family around in, while enjoying the power and speed that a Dodge muscle car brings, then the 2020 Dodge Charger is for you. Whether you live in Tallassee, Weptumka, Auburn or Montgomery, if you want to test-drive either the 2020 Dodge Charger or the Dodge Challenger, then visit the Tallassee CJD dealership in Tallassee, Alabama, today!

2020 RAM 1500 Performance

 
The 2020 RAM 1500 now available with Tallassee, AL, combines luxury with pick-up strength. Our Tallassee CJD dealership serves the cities of Montgomery, Auburn, and Wetumpka.

With a wide selection of engines, including a new turbodiesel or mild hybrids, the 2020 RAM 1500 can be configured to perform any pickup task.

2020 RAM 1500 Engine
The 2020 RAM 1500 features a turbodiesel engine with an enormous towing capacity of 12,650 pounds backed up with impressive 480-pound feet of torque. The Big Horn and Laramie trim come with a new Night Edition that includes big wheels, 22-inch for Laramie, and 20-inch for the Big Horn. While the Rebel model has some additions, you may find all-American styling elements with a new "Built to Serve" edition of the Big Horn.
Four different engines, each in two- or four-wheel-drive, are available. The standard one is a 3.6-liter V-6 with 305 horsepower and a mild hybrid system. The other is 5.7-liter V-8 and 395 horsepower, both with or without the hybrid system. The 2020 RAM also has the option of a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V-6 along with the robust 480 lb-feet torque. Across the range, 8-speed automatic transmission is standard.

2020 RAM 1500 Performance
The V-6 and V-8, along with the hybrid system and new turbodiesel deliver acceleration, offers strong truck towing and superior fuel efficiency. A 3.6-liter V-6 with mild hybrid technology for the base RAM 1500 helps the vehicle reduce engine load and low-speed acceleration. The 48-volt electric motor with a 0.4-kWh lithium-ion battery configured to the mild-hybrid set up lets the accessories runoff that power source. The V-6 engine has 305 horsepower and 269 pound-feet torque, which may be enough for smaller workloads, but most truck buyers will prefer 5.7-liter V-8 for its more smooth and efficient operation.
The 2020 RAM with 3.0-liter V-6 turbodiesel is low on hp, but its robust 480 lb-feet of torque more than compensates, as torque is more important than horsepower.

The standard 8-speed automatic transmission across all models has two configurations, both equally quick and efficient. While the standard rear-wheel drive is a good choice for towing, the 4-wheel drive is optional.

If you would like to know more about the features of the 2020 RAM 1500, or if you would like to test drive the vehicle, head over to our Tallassee CJD dealership today!

Purchasing a Vehicle Car: The Beginner's Guide

 



If the high prices of new cars are putting you off, don't worry, because you can easily save money by purchasing a used model. Read on to learn how you can save serious money.

BEST TIME TO PURCHASE YOUR USED VEHICLE
The best time to shop for your preowned vehicle is when dealerships are holding a sales event, which is when they are ready to offer huge discounts. At such times, the dealership must also handle a large inventory of cars. 

So, if you make your purchase on important days, like Independence Day or Memorial Day, or when end-of-year models are available, you can buy a used vehicle at a lower price. You can be sure that dealerships would be ready to offload their used four-wheeler, and you may capitalize on that by striking a bargain.

BEST PLACES TO BUY
Ideally, you should shop at a franchised car dealership that stocks certified pre-owned vehicles. If your budget is low, you may need to hound for non-certified vehicles, but they would probably give a higher mileage with a dire need for frequent maintenance. You should avoid buying from an independent car lot since it won't have quality vehicles for sale either.

AGE AND TYPE OF VEHICLE
You should also know what to look for in a used car. First off, you need to buy a vehicle that fits your needs. Next, you must decide how old the model should be. Older variants are cheaper but are also bound to have issues. So, buy one only if it's in good condition.

PRICE SHOULD BE RIGHT
Once you find a satisfactory car, ensure that it' priced right. Be sure to run a comparison to know what its true value is. You should also check the vehicle's history for an idea about whether it's rusted or worn out.

TEST DRIVE
Before purchasing a used car, be sure to test drive it. It also makes sense to bring a mechanic along for insights about its condition. Finally, make sure you buy the used car with confidence. The more you know about the do's and don'ts, the easier it becomes to get the best deal.

Now that you know how to purchase a used car, go ahead and explore the nearest dealerships in Tallassee, AL, serving Montgomery, Auburn, and Weptumka too.
======================================
Get the Most out of Your Test Drive!
 A test drive is more than just a part of vehicle purchase process. It can help you understand the abilities of the vehicle and discover whether or not it would be a perfect fit for your lifestyle. You may be surprised at the facts that a few minutes of test driving a vehicle can reveal.

Here are a few ways to make your test drive worthy:

START WITH AN OPEN MIND
You may have chosen to test drive a car of a particular model based on the feedback of people you trust, or following opinions on review websites, or based on a salesman's pitch. While such feedback may be useful, avoid sticking to them rigidly.

The experience shared through feedback is that of other people. Since your vehicle needs are different, you need to rely on your own experience to form a first-hand opinion of a prospective model.

You'll be able to assess a vehicle's suitability to your needs better with an open mind.

REPLICATE YOUR LIFESTYLE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ON A TEST DRIVE
Understand your lifestyle needs. Go for vehicle models with features that meet these needs. For example, if you go on weekly family camping trips, then you would need a vehicle with good storage space, interiors spacious enough to accommodate a family, and extra safety features if there are kids and pets involved.

Replicate a camping trip on a test drive to get a better idea of the vehicle. You could bring luggage, camping equipment such as tents, sleeping bags, camp tables and chairs, and tripods. You'll get to know if the vehicle can safely accommodate such items.

Even if you are going to use the vehicle for commute alone, bringing along a couple of water bottles, and your laptop bag or briefcase, can help assess the vehicle.

BRING A TRUSTED FRIEND ALONG
A friend, preferably one that knows more about cars and vehicles than you, on your test drive. While you assess the car for its legroom, comfort of driving, and features such as GPS, navigation, and entertainment system, your friend can give you a passenger's perspective of the drive.

Consider your friend's perspective regarding other interior features such as air-conditioning, window and door locks, vehicle performance, and general smoothness of the drive.

Given your investment on a vehicle, it is prudent to get to know it better. Plan a well-thought-out test drive so that you get the best value on your investment.
Whether you want to know more about the features of a particular model or want to test drive a vehicle, visit us. As authorized dealers, we provide the best service and expert tips to make the best of your test drive.

We are based in Tallassee, AL, which would be just a brief drive if you are in Auburn, Wetumpka, or Montgomery.

It is modified to lift its wheels off the ground to minimize collisions with the terrain or ground-level objects in its way. A lifted truck is a rare vehicle, and it can be challenging to pick out a lifted truck from the options available. 

WHAT TO LOOK FOR
  • Brakes and Tires - Lifted trucks allow for more room for larger tires to be installed, which provide better grip in off-roading situations. The larger the wheels, the more easily you can drive through rocky terrain without harming your truck's body. However, when you buy a lifted truck or spend on a lift kit to have your automobile modified, be sure to change the brakes as well. Larger tires need larger brakes; otherwise, you will find it next to impossible to brake your vehicle with those massive tires.

  • Level of Prior Usage - Most lifted trucks are bought pre-used. So, you will want to check the truck for any telling mud tracks that can help you guess how much use the vehicle has endured. Check the lifted truck's bearing, half shafts, U-joints, and idler arms. Other things you should check for are - lift blocks on the rear axle, fluids, and whether the anti-freeze has any oil. 

  • Driveability - You will want to take your preferred lift truck for a spin around some rugged terrain before deciding to own it. Notice if there are any leaks, weird noises, and overall, how easily the vehicle allows itself to be steered.

HOW SHOULD YOU GO ABOUT BUYING A LIFTED TRUCK
Lifted truck enthusiasts can either buy a pre-used lifted truck that has already been modified or choose to have it changed themselves using a lift kit. The amount of expense you are willing to incur will determine your choice. If you are short on budget, a pre-used lifted truck is a better option than having to shell out the added cost of a truck lift kit.

5 Ways to Be a Better Driver

 
There are no fixed rules that make you a competent driver. Anyone who wants to see safer roads in their city should make a conscious effort to improve their driving. With just a few adjustments with the way you drive, you can become much better behind the wheel.

RELAX YOUR MUSCLES
Even though driving instructors teach you to place your hand at the 10 and 2 positions when learning how to drive, keeping your hands there can cause you more harm. Your hands stiffen at this position, making it impossible for you to react instinctively. Further, this position also impedes your airbags from coming out. You should experiment with a few positions to find the one that works the best for you.

STAY CALM
Driving often presents you with difficult situations. Do not get angry or carried away in the heat of the moment. Road rage is a common issue that most drivers go through. Remind yourself not to engage with instigators.

ASSUME NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO USE THE ROAD
The best way you can keep yourself safe on the road is by assuming that you're the only one armed with the ability to drive. You will instinctively become more aware of your surroundings. While it's more comforting to think that other people are as safe as you on the streets, you should put more faith in your driving skills, and not the judgment of others.

PROGRESSIVE BRAKING
Practice the art of progressive braking- slight brake, increased pressure, then come to a stop. This allows motorists behind you to adjust their actions accordingly. Also, sudden braking depletes the life of your vehicle and wastes fuel, making you take more trips to the gas station and mechanic.

STAY ALERT ON THE ROAD
Do not drive when sleepy. Drowsy driving is regarded just as bad as drunk driving, if not worse. Keep your mobile phone away, and do not toggle with the touchscreen system. A few small steps go a long way in ensuring that the roads are safer for you and for other drivers who may have interactions with you.

While driving is not a difficult task in itself, bettering and improving the way you handle your vehicle essential for your safety. Learn a few tips and tricks on how to become a better driver in Montgomery, Auburn, and Weptumka at Tallassee CJD in Tallassee, AL.

What's the Difference: AWD vs 4WD
 

First-time car buyers must examine a ton of different facilities and specifications before they can finalize their purchase. One of those specs you will have to choose between is - AWD (all-wheel-drive) or 4WD (four-wheel-drive). Here, we describe the two and explain what makes this a consideration worth thinking over.  

If you're stuck between AWD and 4WD cars in Montgomery, Auburn, or Weptumka, you can always seek help from us at Tallassee CJD in Tallassee, AL. 

WHAT IS ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE? (AWD)
AWD is a comparatively recent motor vehicle offering. However, today, you could find it anywhere, from a racecar to your mid-level sedan or crossover-SUV. Unlike 4WD, the AWD facility on vehicles distributes the power sent to each wheel. In addition, AWD is completely automated. 

AWD is always active in an AWD-enabled vehicle and does not need any input from the driver. If the car registers a loss of traction in the rear wheels, power will be transferred to the front wheels and vice versa. The AWD facility also helps improve upon fuel economy and stability while driving under different weather conditions. 

WHAT IS FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE? (4WD)
Four-wheel-drives are a constant fixture on the more rugged vehicular types, such as SUVs and pickup trucks. So, it wouldn't be uncommon to find your Jeep or Land Cruiser installed with 4WD. 

4WD vehicles usually have the engine output shared equally amongst all four wheels, so power delivery is not controlled between wheels and axles. This uniform channeling to each wheel helps the driver maneuver through low traction and other challenging driving conditions. 
However, 4WD models can prove quite problematic when driving down busy city streets. 

They tend to add unnecessary weight and complexity on paved roads. Some vehicles may grant you the option to switch off the 4WD mode when you wish, thereby improving the overall driveability and fuel economy.

WHICH SHOULD YOU PICK?
A roadie with a penchant for adventure will appreciate the off-roading capabilities provided by 4WD variants. However, if you're simply looking to buy a means of transport to drive you back and forth from home and work, perhaps an AWD vehicle will cater to your needs the best.
======================================
What's New on the 2020 Dodge Challenger?

 
The Dodge Challenger has been revamped for 2020 to make it a strong contender for one of the best cars in the sporty sedan segment. Let's explore the various trims and their specs:

2020 Dodge Challenger SXT

The SXT is available in two variants - the all-wheel-drive and the rear-wheel-drive. The engines of both remain the same with a 3.6-liter V-6. This will be able to supply about 280 - 305 hp of power. Moreover, the 8-speed automatic transmission will be able to take the car from 0 to 60 mph in just short of 7 seconds. 

However, the two have a slight difference when it comes to fuel economy. The combined rating for the rear-wheel-drive comes in at 23 mpg in city and highway combined, while the all-wheel-drive has an EPA rating of 21 mpg combined. A pair of 12.6-inch front vented rotors comes standard in this trim. 

2020 Dodge Challenger GT

The engine, transmission, power, and fuel economy of the vehicle remains the same for both the GT and SXT trims. However, the GT stands out with 13.6 front rotors along with dual-piston front sliding calipers as a standard. 

2020 Dodge Challenger R/T

R/T Rear-Wheel-Drive - Has been equipped with a 5.7-liter V-8 engine that supplies up to 375 hp power, along with a 6-speed manual transmission with only OD models. In terms of fuel economy, it has a combined ETA rating of 18 mpg. Also, there are 13.6-inch front rotors and calipers like the GT trim. 

R/T Scat Pack - Is more powerful than the rear-wheel-drive, with a 6.4-liter V-8 engine that provides up to 485 hp. The transmission remains the same as the rear-wheel-drive version. In terms of fuel economy, it has a combined ETA rating of 17 mpg. Speaking of the rotors, the model boasts 14.2-inch (front) and 13.8-inch (rear) vented/slotted rotors along with four-piston Brembo calipers. 

2020 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat

SRT Rear-Wheel-Drive - Has been equipped with a 6.2-liter V-8 engine with turbocharger that doles out 717 hp. The 6-speed manual transmission comes with only OD models. In addition, it has a combined ETA rating of 16 mpg. Besides, this variant equips premium 15.4-inch Brembo two-piece rotors along with six-piston calipers.

Child Safety Features on the 2020 Chrysler Pacifica

 

Chrysler takes extra care of passengers riding in their cars and ensures that they are protected at all times. As one of the most popular family vehicles across the world, the Pacifica has been loaded with child safety features to ensure the best protection for your little ones. Here, we take a deeper look at some of these highlights:

  1. Electronic Stability Control - Helps improve the stability of your car and reduces the extent of traction faced while in operation. This ensures a smoother ride for your child and better protection for the rear and passenger seat occupants in case of an unfortunate accident. 
  2. Side Impact Beams - Beams present on the side of the door ensure that in case of a collision, the maximum impact is absorbed by your Chrysler. This feature promises that no extensive harm is caused to your loves ones in case of an unforeseen mishap. 
  3. Driver and Passenger Knee Airbag - An extra air bag is present not only for the driver but also for the other passengers. This helps cushion any bad falls or accidents and allows maximum protection during an impact. 
  4. Rear Child Safety Locks - This system allows you to put a lock on the rear doors of your vehicle, which will only allow them to open from the outside and not inside. This prevents any dangerous circumstances from arising in case a child or children are seated by themselves in the rear seats. 
  5. Height Adjustable Shoulder Belts - It is commonly observed that a toddler gets badly injured during a mishap even though he/she happened to be wearing a child belt. The reason behind this is that the belt might have been too large for his/her size. For this reason, there are height adjustable belts incorporated in the Pacifica, which will adjust to your kid's height, thereby providing him/her with the best protection for the drive. 

Eager to get a look at the brand new 2020 Chrysler Pacifica? Take a short drive to Tallassee CJD in Tallassee, AL. We're only a short commute away from Montgomery, Auburn, and Weptumka, so don't miss out.

How to Program a Jeep Garage Door Opener

 

Jeep is one of the newest companies in the ever-growing list of manufacturers that have incorporated the Homelink system in their cars. The HomeLink system reduces the work associated with parking your vehicle in a garage by enabling you to open and close your garage door with just a click of a button. 

What if my Jeep vehicle has pre-existing data from its previous owners?

If your Jeep has pre-existing data, it is entirely possible to delete this information. This can be done by pressing the third and first buttons of the Homelink system simultaneously. 

The electronic vehicle information center (EVIC) of your Jeep should display the message "Clearing Channels." If you do not wish to erase this data, the Jeep Homelink system permits you to store it for up to three garage doors. 

How do I program my old garage door opener to this Homelink system? 

Take the old garage door opener and keep it 2-3 inches away from the HomeLink system when you're programming your JEEP vehicle. Press the button of your former garage opener and the Homelink button of your choice simultaneously. While you are doing this, the electronic vehicle information center should display the message "Training." You can stop holding the buttons down once it shows "Trained" with a beep. 

Why is my EVIC not showing Trained? What should I do now?

If the "training" does not change to "trained," this signifies that your garage door has additional security in place. Proceed to your garage entrance and manually push the "learn" button or "smart" button, depending on which one's near your garage door motor. Then, run back to your car within 30 seconds and press the HomeLink button that you prefer to program inside the Jeep. Keep the button down until you hear a beep and leave. Now, the EVIP should automatically display "Trained." 

I tried the last step but remained unsuccessful. Why?

A few cars require several tries for the programming to be successful. Repeat the last step two to three times until the entire sequence completes appropriately and the EVIC reads "Trained." 

Have any doubts about the Jeep Homelink system?  Visit us at Tallassee CJD in Tallassee, AL, for more information.

What Should a Basic Car Service Include?

 

A basic car service is essential every six months or every 6,000 miles. A regular basic service is recommended to increase the longevity of your vehicle's components and to keep the car running smoothly.

A basic service, also called the interim service, usually includes the following:

OIL CHANGE
Oil keeps the components of the engine lubricated. As a result, all of them work together without getting overheated, which leads to smooth functioning.

Over time, engine oil breaks down, thereby turning to sludge, an impurity that reduces the efficiency of oil to act as a lubricant. The engine oil then becomes less efficient compared to earlier when it comes to absorbing the heat caused by friction.

It is crucial to change the engine oil before the impure fluid leads to serious engine problems. A typical frequency of oil top-offs is every 5,000 miles. This can vary depending on how old your engine is and your driving behavior. Check your manufacturer's manual for an accurate figure.

OIL FILTER CHANGE
The purpose of an oil filter is to block contaminants and permit only pure oil to pass through. These foreign intruders include dirt, dust, and sludge. The filter is only efficient as long as it is able to filter all contaminants and hold them.

Over time, the filter can get clogged by contaminants. So, the filter material can give away and send all filtered contaminants to the engine oil. Such contaminant-laden oil causes early engine wear, decreases engine performance, and leads to severe issues.

Changing the oil filter every time you get the oil replenished is therefore a recommended practice.

An inspection of major car components

This includes an inspection of the following:

• Battery, terminals, and cables
• Seatbelts
• Automatic transmission fluid and power steering fluid
• Checking if the dashboard indicator light is on, and, if yes, the reason behind it
• All vehicle lights
• Hoses
• Exhaust system
• Windshield washer fluid
• Checking each tire for wear and the right pressure level
• Tire rotation

REDESIGNED ASPECTS
RAM redesigned its line of 1500 pickup trucks last year, making it a top-rated family offering. All trims of the RAM 1500 come with superior driving dynamics, well-designed and comfortable interiors, and a distinct rear suspension for this class of pickups.

Jeep Wagoneer: What to Expect

 
If you are a resident of Montgomery, Auburn, and Weptumka, you should know that many car buyers are waiting to see the all-new Jeep Wagoneer in their garage. Larger families who always fancied the Jeep lifestyle were disappointed after the discontinuation of the Jeep Commander. But the Jeep Wagoneer is there to bring back their good-old days.

Available in two models, namely Jeep Wagoneer and Jeep Grand Wagoneer, you can expect to see the following in this Jeep creation:

1. ENGINE
For the new Jeep Wagoneer, the 3.6-liter V-6 with the hybrid system will be the base engine. The slightly more powerful 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 engine will be offered in this Jeep version too. There's also a chance that the carmaker would revise the diesel 3.0-liter V-6. You can expect every Wagoneer to come with a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. Also, every model will be available with rear- or all-wheel-drive and Jeep's off-road-ready equipment.

2. INTERIOR AND INFOTAINMENT
Wagoneer models have three rows of seats. You can expect the Grand Wagoneer to be the larger model of the two that offers more cargo room. The infotainment system of the Jeep Wagoneer would include a large touchscreen, probably with some easy-to-use buttons and knobs. Also, there will be smartphone integration of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Likewise, a Wi-Fi hotspot, wireless phone charging, and at least one upgradable audio system will be available as standard or optional.

3. SAFETY TECHNOLOGY
You can expect both body styles of the Jeep Wagoneer to provide a range of standard and optional driver-assistance technology. These include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, automated emergency braking, and more. 

However, till now, neither the Wagoneer nor the Grand Wagoneer have been crash-tested by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) or National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

4. FUEL ECONOMY
The rear-drive V-6-powered Jeeps earn around 20 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. The V-8 version is expected to be somewhere around 17 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway. However, the diesel V-6 might turn out the most efficient, offering up to 22 mpg in the city and 32 mpg on the highway.

Comparing 2019 Dodge Charger and 2019 Chrysler 300

 
Sedans have been on the top levels of the automobile segment for a while now. However, gone are the days when car buyers would invest in a performance car and sacrifice roominess or comfort. 

If you are a resident of Montgomery, Auburn, and Weptumka, you will find two options: the 2019 Dodge Chrysler 300 and the 2019 Dodge Challenger. Both these cars offer powerful engine options, accommodate five people, provide plenty of cargo space, and have four doors. 

But you may be wondering which of these two sedans is a better investment. Let's make a quick comparison here: 

1. INTERIOR
The 2019 Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger have similar interior dimensions. The two sedans are identical in terms of roominess, with 38.6 inches, 41.8 inches, 59.5 inches, and 56.2 inches of headroom, legroom, shoulder room, and hip room, respectively. 

While the rear-seat roominess and luxurious interior options are advantageous for the 2019 Chrysler 300, the 2019 Dodge Charger is known for its sportier touches.

2. EXTERIOR
Since the 2019 Chrysler 300 and 2019 Dodge Charger ride on the same platform, they are close to each other in size. Both cars measure 75 inches in width and ride on a standard 120.2-inch wheelbase. However, the Dodge Charger Hellcat comes with a 0.2-inch longer wheelbase. 

The base Chrysler 300 measures 198.6 inches long, while the size of Charger lies between 198.4 and 200.8 inches in length. The exterior of the 2019 Chrysler 200 is classy and luxurious, while that of the 2019 Charger 300 is sharper and more muscular.

3. PERFORMANCE
The Chrysler 300 and Charger come with 3.6-liter and 5.7-liter engine options. The 2019 Chrysler 300 reaches 60 mph in 6.3 seconds with its V-6 and in 5.3 seconds with the Hemi V-8. On the other hand, the Dodge Charger V-6 hits 60 mph in 6.2 seconds, while the R/T's 5.7-liter Hemi does the same in 5.1 seconds. 

However, the Dodge Charger stands out with its 485-horsepower 6.4-liter and the 707-horsepower supercharged 6.2-liter engine. The 2019 Chrysler 300 is preferred for its combination of class and power, while the 2019 Charger is known for its neck-snapping acceleration.

Your vehicle shows obvious signs indicating that you need to replace your brakes. Being aware of these warnings can help you detect brake issues early. Especially before they compromise your wellbeing or escalate to expensive repairs.


A decrease in brake performance

One of the first signs of a deteriorating brake system is a delay in response. A possible reason for the slow reaction can be a leak in the braking channel. The brake hose could be losing air, or the brake fluid might be leaking.

Fluid leaks determine the presence of a small pool of fluid beneath the vehicle while parked.

A screeching or grinding sound

If you hear a loud screeching or grinding sound, it could be a sign your vehicle's brake pads are beyond repair. Replacement your battery immediately. The screeching sound is from a metal shim, which points to a deteriorating braking system.

Heavy rain or a carwash can result in a screeching sound when the braking a vehicle. There is nothing to worry about there. Applying brakes for the first time after water exposure causes the squealing. This happens when the braking system gets pressed onto the rusty rotors. The sound disappears after steady use.


Vehicle pulls to one side.

If you find your vehicle pulling itself to one side, there's an issue in the brake lining. This means the brake linings uneven from wearing down. Another cause is the brake fluid harbors contaminants.


A burning odor

A sharp chemical smell indicates an overheated clutch or braking system. This tends to happen after applying the brakes, especially on steep roads. Bring your vehicle to a stop and allow the brakes to cool before resuming driving.

If you see smoke coming out of a wheel, it could be a stuck brake caliper. Driving under such a condition is not recommended.

Tips To Avoid Road Hazards

 

Good driving isn't about who's the quickest. It's about knowing what to do when things go wrong on the road. Staying vigilant, taking a cab while intoxicated, and refraining from driving when tired is the best things you can do to ensure safety on the streets from your end. 

 

When something unpredictable happens, however, it's essential to know how to react to negate or minimize damage. Let's take a look at a couple of tips to avoid road hazards in Tallassee, AL.

 

  1. Poor road and weather conditions - In situations where the weather and road aren't playing nice, you should slow down and drive at a speed that matches the flow of traffic. In addition to this, your windshield and windows should be clear so that your vision isn't impaired.
  2. Bad traffic - When driving in bad traffic, adequate separation must remain between the vehicle in front of you and your car. You must always be ready to stop and should keep an eye open for automobiles that might pull in front of you. 
  3. Reckless drivers - You must slow down when you spot reckless drivers insight, giving them plenty of space to pass and also maintaining a safe distance. 
  4. Reckless pedestrians - Pedestrians can be as carefree as drivers by jaywalking, crossing a street irresponsibly, and so on. Even if a passerby is at fault, it is a driver's responsibility to do everything in his/her power to avoid hitting a walker on the road. Slamming a person with a car can be fatal to the pedestrian and comes with severe consequences.
  5. Potholes - Potholes can cause accidents by making drivers swerve around them. Avoid severe damage from a pothole by slowing down, keeping a firm grip on the steering wheel, and then checking to see if it is okay to drive around the pothole.

4WD vs. FWD vs. AWD

 

When choosing a car, it is of utmost importance to select the vehicle that best matches your driving routes and paths. Safety and stability are key when picking out an automobile. Over the years, technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. When it comes to cars, engines are now built with drivetrains that are particularly meant for different terrains. If you wish to know more about 4WD, FWD and AWD cars, continue reading.

 

4 Wheel Drive (4WD)

4WD cars have been built with an engine that provides power to all four wheels in equal measure. With this mode, each of the wheels spin at the same rate, thereby providing enhanced stability. 

Cars that are meant for off-roading purposes use 4WD engines that can be paired with either high-gear or low-gear modes. By switching between these modes, the driver can gain control over the vehicle on rocky terrains.

 

Front Wheel Drive (FWD)

In FWD cars, the engine focuses the power on the front wheels. These two wheels work the hardest, especially when climbing uphill, and thus carry the weight of the car to provide enhanced power to propel forward.

Having the power focused on the front wheels will give the car the stability it needs to climb uphill without any hassles. Most SUVs are built with the FWD drivetrain. You will find that these models have extra leg space and are also budget-friendly to make.

 

All-Wheel Drive (AWD) 

AWD vehicles are often thought to be the same as FWD vehicles. Although both cars engage all four wheels while driving, the distribution of power is varied. In a FWD car, the engine powers each wheel equally. On the other hand, the engine in an AWD car powers each wheel differently in order to distribute power based on the need of the vehicle.

While taking turns on tricky surfaces, the AWD engine can also supply either the front and rear or left and right pairs of wheels to enhance stability and grip. This drivetrain allows the driver to maintain utmost control of the vehicle at all times. The intelligent technology focuses on the capability of the wheels based on the terrain it is on.

Learn About 2020 Model Year Safety and Technology Terms

2020 is almost here, and before we enter the new year, there are some things we must know so that we can fit in with the changes that come about. In the automobile sector, the new year will bring along several new technological changes, as is evident from our experience in the past few years. Modern technology is being developed every other day, and to understand your vehicle better, you must keep yourself updated.

Here, we discuss some important safety and technology terms 2020 model year enthusiasts must know.


Automatic Emergency Braking

Automatic emergency braking is a technology that will feature in all cars soon. The automatic emergency braking system causes the vehicle to apply brakes immediately if the car's sensor detects an oncoming imminent collision.

It may not always prevent a collision, but it can be a great safety feature to avert accidents in most scenarios. Although this is considered a futuristic, some manufacturers have already started including this feature in certain models.


Active Windows Display

Manufacturers like Ford are coming up with software that can keep a health check on the driver. Such systems will shift to the autopilot mode if the driver seems unresponsive (due to a sudden seizure or drowsiness). This technology could also avert a considerable number of accidents resulting from drivers falling asleep behind the steering wheel.


Biometric Security Systems

It is expected that by the year 2020, cars will have added security with biometric car locking systems. This is the same security system that allows you to safeguard your phone with the help of a fingerprint sensor. The same feature could be added to vehicles, and all you would need to do is register your fingerprint in the system. Then on, you can lock and unlock your car with your finger.
Vehicle to Everything Communication Systems

As buyers demand more connectivity, vehicle manufacturers are coming up with technology that can connect your vehicle's communication system to more channels.

Qualcomm is coming up with a technology that provides 5G-ready cellular communication equipment for vehicles that will allow cars to send messages to pedestrians or communicate with other infrastructure. This is, of course, yet to be seen.

Simple Tips For Protecting Your Vehicle In The Summer

Vehicle technology has come a long way, and modern cars are designed keeping performance, safety, comfort, and convenience in mind. No matter how advanced cars get, however, excess exposure to heat will always remain a potent threat to the engine and other parts.

 

The unrelenting summer heat can impact different parts of your car, dragging down the vehicle's performance. We, in this post, have curated a list of simple, yet useful pointers that describe essential summer car care tips that you can follow.

 

1. Top up coolant at regular intervals

Every car comes with coolant, which is a liquid that maintains the optimal engine temperature.  A mixture of alcohol and distilled water, the coolant absorbs extra heat generated in the power plant.

 

To ensure your engine performs flawlessly during summer, top up your coolant at regular intervals, and remember to check the reservoir and hoses for leaks. The hoses should feel firm. In case they feel squishy, discuss the problem with your mechanic.

 

2. Check vehicle fluids

When it comes to caring for your car during summer, the importance of maintaining vehicle fluids at appropriate levels cannot be emphasized enough. Periodically, check all vehicle fluids - engine oil, steering fluid, brake fluid, and transmission fluid. Top them off as and when required. When replacing or topping fluids, remember to refer to your owner's manual to find out the best variant suggested by the manufacturer.

 

3. Maintain the right tire pressure 

Tires are one of the most overlooked components of any vehicle, which is strange, given the important role that they play in delivering a comfortable ride and superior performance. Driving on under-inflated tires during summer is a recipe for disaster. When exposed to heat for a prolonged period, under-inflated tires can blast, giving rise to safety issues. 

Automotive experts recommend checking the tire pressure at least once every month. For accurate readings, check the pressure when your tires are cold. Do not follow tire pressure recommendations molded into the sidewall of your tire, as they may be wrong.

 

Instead, refer to your manual to find out the inflation pressure recommendations by your manufacturer.  You can also get this information from the tire information label located in the glove box or on the driver's door jamb.

Owing to its adaptive steering, you can see feedback increasing once the front end of the car has some weight, particularly in situations when you are cornering. • Drivability The transmission of the 2019 Ford F250 upshifts smoothly and quickly. The powertrain response, however, has a slight lag but that's something expected from a massive turbodiesel powerplant. The downshifts happen smoothly and speedily when empty. The tow-haul mode keeps excessive up and downshifts under control of there's any serious tow weight. • Off-roading The F250 has a lockable rear diff and shift-on-the-fly 4WD, but you may have to go a little slow and shift to neutral before engaging 4L.

Besides its enormous size, the F250 is adept and sure-footed thanks to the optional FX4 off-road package that makes this heavy-duty truck perfect even on off-road situations.

Hollywood Takes On Iconic Racing Story in 'Ford v Ferrari'

Academy Award winners Matt Damon and Christian Bale are set to star in the film, titled Ford v Ferrari. The film, directed by James Mangold, is based on the true story of American car designer Carroll Shelby and British-born driver Ken Miles, who built a groundbreaking race car for Ford Motor Co.

Twentieth Century Fox Film Corp. recently launched the trailer of the film worldwide-something that is filled with speed, crashes, and attractive cars. The three-minute long trailer shows Shelby (Matt Damon) work with Miles (Christian Bale) to contend with the best racing gems of Enzo Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France in 1966.

Jon Bernthal, playing the role of Former Ford Motor Co. executive Lee Iacocca, reaches out to Shelby to create the "greatest race car the world has ever seen" for Ford. The stakes were huge, and so were the egos. Ford v Ferrari shows how Ford recruits Shelby to design one of Ford's iconic cars - the GT40 - to pull off one of racing's greatest upsets.

The focus of Ron Howard on auto personalities follows his successful formula in 2013's "Rush," which recreated a Formula One title duel featuring Chris Hemsworth in the lead role. It seemed like a gust of fresh air after some disastrous racing movies released before it.

Ford v Ferrari is derived from A.J. Baime's critically acclaimed book titled "Go Like Hell." However, the film ultimately gets an original screenplay. Bale and Damon are already publicizing the film through appearances as honorary starters. Not to forget, they also initiated the Indy 500 Memorial Day weekend.

A little about the original personalities

Shelby, who passed away in 2012, made a mark for himself as an American automotive designer, racing driver, and businessman. He is known for Ford's post-World War II creations such as the Ford-powered Cobra sports car, Shelby Mustang, Dodge Viper, and of course, Le Mans-winning GT40.

Lee Iacocca was the general manager at Ford in the early 1960s and she is known to have been a constant support for Shelby during the Mustang program.

To get an insight into their lives, book your tickers for Ford v Ferrari, which is set to release on Nov. 15.

2019 Jeep Wrangler

The Wrangler has been an iconic off-roading vehicle for years, and the 2019 Jeep Wrangler is cited by experts to be a major improvement over earlier models. Despite remaining true to its rugged heritage, the new Jeep Wrangler comes in a slightly-more sophisticated body that looks great and feels fantastic to sit in.

The Wrangler comes in four variants/trim levels - Rubicon, Sport, Sport S and Sahara - each of which come in the petrol version currently, with a diesel version on-the-way. The jeep comes with two engine options - the 3.6-liter V-6 with 285-horsepower and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder mild-hybrid motor with 270-horsepower. Torque is at  440 lb-ft. The car has both the six-speed manual transmission and the eight-speed automatic transmission. Insiders reveal that a plug-in hybrid powertrain variant may soon grace the world by 2020.

The jeep comes in both 2-door and 4-door versions. But the best part is that these are removable doors. There's also a flat windscreen that can be folded down.

The interiors of the new Jeep in Tallassee are cherry red. The jeep comes with an optional 550-watt, eight-speaker Alpine® Premium Audio System with a subwoofer, capable of amplifying 12 channels. Buyers have the option of having noise-canceling technology fitted-into the car. 

The car's Uconnect® 4C NAV touchscreen comes with an in-built navigation system with an integrated Voice Command feature. The Jeep also comes with both Wi-Fi-hotspot and Bluetooth connectivity up to 50 feet and can connect to 8 devices. The car comes both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Sirius Guardian and All Access Package can also be integrated. 

Two features that make the 2019 Jeep Wrangler better than the new Dodge in Tallassee is the hidden storage area at the rear of the vehicle and the MOLLE-style inspired utility grid that can store a first aid kit, flashlights, and water bottles.

The car comes with a 7-inches/8.4 inches Driver Information Digital Cluster Display that providers drivers real-time driving stats. Driver assist features like the rear cross-traffic alert,  blind-spot monitoring, and rear parking sensors, make the drive safer. The jeep comes with LED headlights and a rearview camera, which provide greater visibility.

The JL body is now an all-aluminum construction, forgoing the steel in exchange for less drag and better road articulation. The lightness of the vehicles makes it much easier to control too. It is also more travel-friendly compared to older models. In all, the 2019 Jeep Wrangler is a more-inspired version of the Wrangler range.  If you'd like to see the new Jeep in Tallassee, visit Tallassee CDJR today.
