Owning a Jeep doesn’t only make you a Jeep owner, it makes you a part of the Jeep nation. When you’re driving your Wrangler down the road and you see another Jeep, it’s not just a regular passing. That person gets your attention, your wave and your respect. How about adding a few more tricks to your toolbox though? Next time you see your friend you can give them a wave and some super cool Jeep hacks to help them down the road or on the trail.

Check out our new and used Jeep Wrangler inventory.

The first Jeep hack is for those who like to get a little mud on their tires. If you look at your Wrangler floor mats you’ll realize that they’re just carpet. But, if you flip the floor mats over, you get nice vinyl (:30 – :47). This is huge for cleaning your Jeep. Tell your friends, your significant other or even your dog to come on in. You’re not afraid of a little mud! This is a big hack because the purchase price of vinyl floor mats can cost up to $200. Big save. 

The second Jeep hack has to do with your rear view. You’ll notice on your rearview mirror that the bottom of the mirror is wider than the top. If you flip your mirror upside down, a 180-degree rotation, it opens up your line of sight (:10 – :43). This is especially nice because the third brake light and the spare tire on the back door are right in the middle of your line of sight. If you can widen that rear view you’re that much safer on the trail. This hack can help you eliminate worry and extra trips to the body shop.

If you’d like to hear more Jeep Wrangler hacks, stay tuned to our blog because we’ll be bringing you more! Or, contact your friends at McLarty Daniel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat in Springdale, Arkansas. We love tips, tricks and hacks. Anything to help improve your adventures.

Not only is the Chrysler Pacifica extremely spacious, but it also has more standard safety features than any vehicle in the industry. There’s room for the whole family and all the toys and luggage you plan on taking on your next trip, and you don’t have to fear the road on your way there. On top of all that, the Chrysler Pacifica is the most awarded minivan for five years straight. Keep reading to find out what the Pacifica’s best features for your family are!

Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking

Adaptive Cruise Control

Adaptive Cruise Control uses sensors to help maintain a preset distance between you and the vehicle in front of you. This means your car will brake to slow down with the car ahead and speed back up to your set speed when they’re no longer in front of you.

Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking System

Pedestrians can sometimes come out of nowhere. Maybe they’re ninjas or maybe it’s just late at night and they’re harder to see. Either way, with the Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking System, your vehicle will automatically brake when someone walks out in front of your Chrysler Pacifica.

Infotainment

One of the greatest tools you can add to your best is the infotainment system. The 10.1-inch touchscreen display is standard on all models and harbors an integrated voice-command system with Bluetooth streaming, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, Aux and USB ports. Things get even better if you opt for the Uconnect Family Theater Group rear-seat entertainment system that now has Amazon Fire TV. This gives passengers the ability to watch downloaded programs, stream videos, listen to music and play games on the road. Fire TV is connected via a mobile device hotspot or the in-vehicle 4G Wi-Fi hotspot. It comes with 16 GB of storage for each of the two rear displays, allowing passengers to watch downloaded content even where there is no internet connectivity. Content can be watched separately or the displays can be mirrored. The system can be controlled from the front seat to keep an eye on the content being consumed or the apps being used and to stop or pause an activity.

Keep it clean

Keep your minivan free of crumbs and all those other messes that seem to pop up with the available Stow ‘n Vac integrated vacuum powered by RIDGID, the most powerful integrated vacuum available in its class. The Stow ‘n Vac is conveniently located mid-cabin and is retractable for easy storage. With it’s expandable hose it can reach every corner of the Pacifica so no mess is out of reach.

It’s all about hybrids and electric vehicles in the auto industry right now. Every manufacturer either has a hybrid for sale or has released plans to roll one out, along with an EV in the next few years. Are you considering buying a hybrid for the first time? There are plenty of advantages to buying and driving a hybrid. In this blog, we’ll cover the biggest ones. At McLarty Daniel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat, we’ve done the research and we’re excited to share it with you.

Savings

According to AAA, our nation’s current gas price average for regular unleaded gas is $3.29 per gallon. That $3.29 a gallon adds up to hundreds of dollars over the course of one year, and even thousands if you’re a heavy driver. With a hybrid, you could cut that cost in half. Hybrids cost more on the front end, but over time the savings far exceed the overall price of the vehicle. When driving a hybrid you can spend the money you saved on gas enjoying the outdoors, like visiting beautiful Arkansas lakes.

What does this mean for our environment?

Hybrid cars and trucks produce cleaner emissions than full gas or diesel-fueled vehicles. When driving, vehicle exhaust releases carbon dioxide, which threatens human life, and carbon dioxide, which is a significant contribution to global warming.

Do you need any special equipment?

Nope! Hybrids don’t require any special equipment whatsoever. If you purchase a plug-in hybrid, it comes equipped with a converter that changes standard AC power from your home into DC power needed to recharge your vehicle. This process takes a bit longer than a charging station would, but it is certainly doable. If you would like to cut your charging time in half, you could install electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE) at your home as EVSE supplies 240 volts of electricity. A great example of a plug-in hybrid vehicle is the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid, which was named best hybrid vehicle by good housekeeping.

If you have any more questions, or you are looking to purchase a hybrid, call or stop by McLarty Daniel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat in Springdale, Arkansas. We serve Springdale, Fayetteville, Lowell, Rogers, Huntsville, Siloam Springs, West Fork, Tontitown and Prairie Grove drivers. See you soon!

No matter which you choose, the 2022 Grand Wagoneer and 2022 Wagoneer are a treat for the senses. Premium tactile materials, visual and aural delights and immense power set these full-size SUVs above the rest. Both the Grand Wagoneer and the Wagoneer are exceptional vehicles on the road, but there are some differences when it comes to power, performance and technology. Looking to purchase but don’t know which is right for you? Keep reading so we at McLarty Daniel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat can help you tackle this question.

Browse our available selection of 2022 Grand Wagoneers

Let’s start with power and performance. The 2022 Grand Wagoneer has a 6.4-liter V8 engine delivering 471 horsepower with 455 lb.-ft. of torque. That’s enough to get it from 0 to 60 mph in six seconds. The 2022 Wagoneer has a 5.7-liter V8 with the eTorque 48-volt mild-hybrid system giving 392 hp and 404 lb.-ft. of torque. When it comes to towing capacity, both can tow around 10,000 pounds The Grand Wagoneer comes standard with four-wheel drive while the Wagoneer has both a 4×4 and a 4×2 option.

Next, let’s move on to the differences when it comes to interior features and comforts. The most notable difference between the two is the display screens. The 2022 Grand Wagoneer has 75 inches of screen width across seven screens. Among those are the driver’s digital cluster, center screen, passenger screen, two rear screens for entertainment and comfort control screens in the first two rows for climate and seat adjustment. It’s like being in a spaceship! The 2022 Wagoneer has only the driver digital cluster and main center touchscreen, with three entertainment screens optional. Another difference is sound. The 2022 Grand Wagoneer comes with a McIntosh MX950 entertainment system with 19 speakers. The 2022 Wagoneer has an Alpine nine-speaker system with a subwoofer.

As you can see there are some pretty major differences between these two vehicles. Whichever Wagoneer you choose, though, will be an exceptional experience for the senses. If you have any more questions, or you are looking to purchase one of these machines, call or stop by McLarty Daniel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat in Springdale, Arkansas. We serve Springdale, Fayetteville, Lowell, Rogers, Huntsville, Siloam Springs, West Fork, Tontitown and Prairie Grove drivers.

Does cold air affect tire pressure? The answer is yes. But, don’t be alarmed when you see your tires have lost air pressure. Low air pressure this time of year isn’t necessarily because there’s a hole in your tire or because you have a bad valve. Let us at Mclarty Daniel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat break it down for you!

 

Why does cold weather affect my tire pressure?

Winter weather affects tire pressure because, as the temperature lowers, air is cooled causing the air to compress. You’ll often notice, as you drive throughout the day, your tire pressure will go up. That’s because as the air warms up, it evaporates and turns to a vapor. This allows the air in the tires to expand.

How often should I check my tire air pressure?

Tire pressure can lower after a vehicle hasn’t been driven for several hours. Over those hours the cold air has a chance to lower your vehicle’s air pressure. If your vehicle was made within the last five to 10 years, you can checkr tire pressure from your vehicle dashboard screen. In cold weather, we recommend checking your tires every time you get in your car. If your car is older and you can’t check pressure from the interior, it’s a good idea to check  every other day, or daily if you can, in the morning before leaving your house with a gauge. It’s better to be safe than sorry!

How much air should I put in my tires?

The answer to this question is it depends on your car and what type of tires you have. Check your manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure chart for the vehicles that came on your car when you purchased it. Every vehicle manual has this information, and it’s usually inside the driver’s door as well. If you’ve purchased new tires since you’ve bought your vehicle, or if you purchased your car used, check the tire manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure. Tires will usually have the numbers you’re looking for on the sidewall of your tires as well. Do not exceed the maximum amount of pound-force per square inch (PSI) as this risks a blowout.

Owning a vehicle is a big responsibility. Vehicles need care and attention and there’s some preparation that goes into staying safe and ready on the road. To help, we at McLarty Daniel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat in Springdale have created a list of the top three items every car owner needs. We want you to be ready for anything and never worry about being stranded!

First up, a first aid kit is a must for every vehicle. This item isn’t necessarily to keep your car running well, but to help you, your passengers and others. If an accident happens when you’re camping, at a soccer game with your Chrysler Pacifica or Voyager or on your way to a beautiful Arkansas lake, you’ll be prepared. The first aid kit can include bandages and ointment for cuts, burn cream for fire mishaps and even Advil for a swollen ankle. A first aid kit is something that isn’t needed often but when needed, it can change the outcome of the whole adventure!

Second, every car owner needs a set of jumper cables. Car batteries are unpredictable and they don’t always go bad because of user error. The battery could simply have a bad cell. If this happens, a set of jumper cables can get you from stranded to home. Jumper cables are inexpensive and they are a must-have in your vehicle. Without them, summer travel in your Grand Cherokee could be completely different.

Third, a spare tire. Again, this is the kind of item that can change your whole day and it doesn’t necessarily happen because of you, the driver. It’s hard to see a nail or a screw on the road and if you don’t avoid it you could be stuck on the side of the road and your road trip in your Ram could come to a screeching halt. A spare tire can get you up and moving instead of waiting hours on the tow truck.

When you’re on the road, we want you to be safe and responsible and we are happy to share what we know about road safety and preparation with you. If you’d like to learn about auto care tips, we got you covered too. If you’re looking for more, come by McLarty Daniel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat in Springdale, Arkansas. If you live in Springdale, Fayetteville, Lowell, Rogers, Huntsville, Siloam Springs, West Fork, Tonitown or Prairie Grove, we’re just a short drive away. We have a great parts and service department and we have a large selection of new and quality pre-owned vehicles. We’ll see you soon!

With the Wagoneer, you also have the option to get two 10.1-inch rear entertainment screens that are mounted on the back of the front seats.
