It can tow up to 14,850 lbs. with a gross combined weight rating (GCWR) of 22,000 lbs. The 3500 Big Horn has a 6.7-liter I-6 diesel engine with 400 horsepower at 2,800 RPM and a six-speed automatic transmission. It's available in rear or four-wheel drive. It can tow up to 2,300 lbs. with a GCWR of 34,220 lbs. Interior The 2500 can seat up to six people to transport the whole family, while the 3500 seats three and emphasizes hauling power. They feature similar interiors to keep you comfortable on long rides. Both include wireless Bluetooth phone connectivity, LCD displays for monitoring your trip, and voice-activated volume control to keep you focused on the road. Safety Both trucks include stability control with anti-rollover detection to help you monitor your trailer. Anti-lock braking and traction control improve off-road handling. The brake assist increases your stopping distances when hauling downhill or when the streets are slick. Which RAM Pickup Truck Is Right for You?

The latter is an aggressive workhorse for independent contractors and small businesses when only a few people are behind the wheel. Diesel trucks also last longer than gas trucks, making the 3500 the more durable option. Both RAM trucks will serve you well for years to come, but the 2500 offers more versatility while the 3500 maximizes performance. They are designed for different purposes and have varying specs based on the trim level. Visit Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Gaylord in Gaylord, MI, to compare these models today.

Should You Buy or Lease Your Next CDJR Vehicle?

Image via Snethkamp CDJR of Gaylord. Buying a car is just one way to get into a new vehicle. Leasing is also an option, but the process works a little differently. Keep reading to explore whether you should buy or lease a car and how to locate a reputable Chrysler dealer near you that can help. more To Buy or Lease a Car: That Is the Question A vehicle lease allows you to effectively "rent" a car for an extended amount of time without the commitment of buying. This can work better for some individuals and even businesses than putting a large down payment on a vehicle or purchasing it with cash. Key Features of Buying When you buy a car, even with financing, you own it. The title, insurance, and tax records will be in your name. You can keep the vehicle as long as you want or sell it to someone else, but you are also responsible for its maintenance and any repairs that may need to be made. How Leasing Works With leasing, you pay a monthly fee to use the vehicle for a specific period. The dealership retains ownership of the car, but you are typically required to pay for insurance while you drive. Once your lease ends, the car is returned. You may or may not have the option to buy at this time. Most leased vehicles have robust parts and labor warranties, so the cost of caring for the vehicle is significantly lower. This can be a big plus for people who struggle to budget for unexpected issues. Lease payments may also be lower than financing for a new vehicle, since you aren't paying for the entire life of the car. Instead, you're only paying for the portion of the vehicle's lifespan when you will be driving it. What to Look For in a Reputable Chrysler Dealer When you're looking for a qualified Chrysler dealership near you, keep these important things in mind: A majority of positive online reviews Timely responses to negative reviews A large inventory with multiple models Easy to reach someone when calling Flexible financing available Monthly vehicle specials Contact our team at Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Gaylord in Gaylord, MI to learn more about the differences between buying and leasing a vehicle or to schedule a test drive. We're looking forward to helping you find the right vehicle and payment arrangement to fit your specific needs.

4 Benefits of Getting Car Financing at Your CDJR Dealership

Image via Pixabay. Are you looking for a place to get car financing, but you're not sure where to get it? While banks and credit unions are always an option, going to your CDJR dealership for financing has numerous benefits that you'll be very pleased with. Dealership financing is often a better choice than getting a loan at a traditional financial institution. more 1. It's Incredibly Convenient Do you like killing two birds with one stone? You can do that by getting financing at the dealer, as you can do absolutely everything in one place. When you go to the dealer, you can sell your old car, acquire your new one, and secure financing in one location. If you go online to our website and get preapproved for a loan, then you know you only have to make one trip throughout the entire process of selling your old car and buying your new one, so it's a wonderfully convenient experience. 2. It's Good for Getting Exactly What You Want Do you already know what car you want? When you find a dealer with that car in stock and then apply for financing through that dealer, then you're almost guaranteed to drive home in the new ride you picked out. That's not always the case when you go to a bank or credit union, as those financial institutions sometimes require you to choose a car from a dealership within their network. The dealerships within the lender's network may not have the car you want, or the dealer may not have the specific trim of the vehicle you want, so you have to compromise. You're less likely to need to compromise if you pick out a car and then finance it at the dealership selling it. 3. It's a Great Option If You Have Poor Credit Could your credit score be in better shape? That shouldn't stop you from buying a car. Dealers are way more likely to work within your needs than banks, credit unions, and online lenders are. If you sit down and talk with someone from the finance department at your local dealership, then there's a very good chance that you'll walk away with a car loan despite having a low credit score. 4. It's Perfect If You Hate Paperwork Do you hate paperwork? That can make getting a loan feel arduous, as financing through banks and credit unions often comes with a ton of paperwork to fill out. There's very little paperwork if you finance through your dealer. When you fill out an application, it's sent to multiple lenders, which saves a lot of time. Does dealership financing sound beneficial to you? Come to Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM of Gaylord in Gaylord, MI to get your financing today.

Time for New Tires? Visit Your CDJR Dealership Today

Image via Pixabay. For most drivers, new tires typically last from four to five years, which is about 60,000 to 75,000 miles. However, sometimes tires can undergo premature wear and tear or become dangerously damaged, so it's important to keep a close eye on the condition of your tires at all times. The following are a few warning signs to look out for. You can have worn-out or damaged tires promptly replaced at your local Chrysler dealership. more Constantly Escaping Air Car tires should always be kept at optimal pressure. Any over or under-inflation can cause overheating, blowouts, and skids. If you notice that one of your tires isn't maintaining air pressure as it should, you might have a hidden puncture or dented tire rim on your hands. You can ask a technician to either find and fix the problem or replace the problematic tire entirely. Odd Sounds and Vibrations Bad tires will often reduce your vehicle's handling while increasing road friction. As a result, you may hear unusual road noise and feel vibrations from below, especially when driving at high speeds. Balding Tire Treads Car tires should never allowed to grow bald, even in patches. Sufficient tread depth is essential to grip the road. If the tread depths on your tires fall to 2/32 of an inch, have them replaced at once. Excessively Uneven Wear While tires naturally wear down unevenly, this isn't good for your vehicle or driving safety. Uneven tires will eventually lead to reduced handling, increased road friction, and excessive wear and tear. You can usually mitigate the negative effects of uneven tire wear with regular tire rotation. However, sometimes unevenness becomes so excessive that the tires need to be replaced. Bulges and Other Damage Driving over curbs, potholes, and rocks on the road can cause serious damage to a tire. These kinds of impacts may rupture internal layers of rubber within a tire, resulting in strange bulges and blisters on the outside. This kind of damage usually means the tire has to go. Any other clear external damage such as deep cuts may also make a tire unsafe to use. Sometimes a cut can be repaired; you'll need to ask a technician if your damaged tire is salvageable. Poor Traction After Rain All drivers should feel confident in their vehicle's ability to maintain traction on varying road surfaces. If you ever suspect a slight loss of traction in your tires, which might become apparent when the roads are wet, don't hesitate to have a technician take a look. When it comes to your tires, safe is always better than sorry. Have your tires inspected and replaced today by experienced technicians at Snethkamp Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Gaylord. We proudly serve the drivers of Gaylord and all of Northern Michigan with excellent cars, deals, financing arrangements, and customer service.

Getting a New Car Battery for Your Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, or RAM

Image via Snethkamp CDJR of Gaylord. A dead battery can leave you hunting for jumper cables or waiting on a tow. As your Jeep dealership in Gaylord, MI, we don't want this to happen to you. We'd like you to know a few signs that your battery is failing, and it's time to visit us for a new car battery before this happens. more Battery Warning Light Your dash has many different warning lights, each of which warns of a potential problem. Your Jeep has a huge number of sensors inside it, and each sensor monitors a specific vehicle component. The sensors connect to your computer and continuously supply it with information on the health and condition of their connected components. The battery warning light illuminates if sensors in the electrical system detect a problem. Your battery can trigger this warning light if it's failing. A battery usually supplies between 12.6 volts and 14.5 volts. If your battery is failing, its voltage output will drop. If the voltage drops below 12 volts, sensors will alert the computer, and the light will come on. We can test your battery and replace it if it's failing. Swollen Battery Case Your battery's contents are protected by a tough plastic casing. This casing prevents sulfuric acid and other battery chemicals from leaking into your engine and also protects the battery contents against contamination. Most car batteries are rectangular, but square batteries are also possible. Over time, environmental factors like extreme heat or cold can damage the battery casing. Extreme temperatures affect the electrolyte solution, which expands and increases pressure inside the casing. The expanding solution can't escape the case, so the internal pressure will force part of the casing outwards. If you look at your battery and the casing is bulging or distorted, your battery is damaged. We'll replace the swollen battery with a new one. Damaged Alternator One of the alternator's jobs is to recharge your battery. The battery supplies the power that starts your engine, and this electrical charge uses a significant part of the battery's energy. When your engine is running, the alternator starts recharging the battery. The alternator recharges at full power for ten minutes and then switches to recharging at 10% to prevent damage to the battery and the alternator. If your alternator is damaged, it can continue to recharge the battery at full power. This increases the battery temperature, and the electrolyte solution inside it can boil. You'll get a warning that something is wrong as the battery warning light will illuminate. We'll examine your battery and replace it if it's been damaged. We'll also replace your alternator. Don't let a battery problem shock you. Call us today at Snethkamp CDJR of Gaylord.
