Features of the 2020 Ram 2500 Power Wagon
In addition to the many improvements made to the new 1500 half-ton pickup, the 2020 Ram 2500 Power Wagon includes better towing and payload ratings, more power, and exciting technology exclusive to Ram vehicles. Here are just a few features of the Ram 2500 Power Wagon you will want to know about.
Exterior
The new Ram 2500 Power Wagon sits higher and has a different metal content than previous models. There is more high-strength steel in its frame and it sports an aluminum hood. These two changes contribute to the truck shedding 143 pounds: lower weight equals greater fuel efficiency.
Added insulation, active noise cancellation technology, new engine mounts, and new anti-vibration devices combine with a class-leading 0.409 coefficient of drag to produce the quietest HD cabin Ram has ever created.
Perhaps the most noticeable exterior change is the large grille, which is now 30% bigger than previous models to provide better cooling. It also includes three new headlight designs: an LED projector lamp with active turning that allows for 15 degrees of travel as you turn your steering wheel, a full LED-reflector style, and a basic halogen lamp.

The History of the York State Fair
The York Fair will once again delight visitors this year, but this time with a brand-new name and dates for 2020. The York County Agricultural Society board of directors has moved the fair from its usual slot in September to take place from July 24 to August 2, 2020, and has changed the name to York State Fair. These changes are based on the size and scope of the fair and accessibility to families and vendors. The York State Fair is considered to be “America’s First Fair” and has a rich history dating all the way back to 1765.
The Fair in War Time
The York State Fair was established prior to the official founding of America in 1776 and has withstood the stress of multiple national and international wars during its 255 years in existence. During the American Civil War, the Fair was forced to close for several years. The property was used as a hospital ground to care for wounded Union soldiers. The fair was underway during the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and remained open as a symbol of pride in American culture and history. Read the rest of this entry »

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has been lagging behind in the fast-developing electric and autonomous vehicle segments. However, according to the automaker’s new global powertrain chief, Micky Bly, this is about to change, as FCA is set on repositioning itself in this space over the next few years.
FCA and Electrification: The Past
FCA has not completely steered away from battery-powered vehicles over the years. When the Fiat 500e was released back in 2013, however, former FCA CEO, Sergio Marchionne, made a tongue-in-cheek request to potential clients to not buy the 500e as it cost more to produce than the automaker could sell it for. Sadly, the 500e didn’t sell.
In the subsequent years, FCA rolled out two-hybrid systems: the Pacifica Hybrid, which is a plug-in, and the Jeep Wrangler, which features a mild 48-volt hybrid system. According to FCA, these vehicles mark the beginning of a whole range of hybrid and electric options that it will be developing and releasing over the next few years. Read the rest of this entry »
