5 Reasons Drivers Love the 2020 Jeep Compass
Nestling midway between the subcompact Renegade and larger Cherokee, the 2020 Jeep Compass comes as a comfortable, off-road vehicle. It has a beefy styling and the go-anywhere do-anything aura that helps it stand out from the current rivals in the subcompact crossover segment. While there haven’t been a major upscale from the previous model’s features, the new Jeep has one of the best infotainment systems in the segment.
1. Excellent Off-Road Capabilities
Like any other Jeep, the new Compass impresses when put through its paces. The entry-level trims come standard with front-wheel drive, but off-road-oriented four-wheel drives are available.
All trims are powered by a 2.4-liter inline-4 engine that offers 180 horsepower and 175 pound-feet of torque. The nine-speed automatic transmission and quick upshifts in the 4WD versions make the SUV a decent off-roader despite not having a low-range gear like the Wrangler. Read the rest of this entry »
We are willing to bet you have a friend or family member who has been a Grand Cherokee owner as long as you’ve known them. They keep coming back because brand identity keeps impressing them. The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee is the next in a long line of fan favorites – it has many features that impress. Here are our top three.
1. Standard Trims That Get Better and Better
Have you noticed that you can visually identify the Grand Cherokee without having to think about it? Although every new Grand Cherokee model year looks slightly different, that “instant recognition” factor remains constant. The number and scheme of trim levels remain constant in 2020, but there are some enhancements.
First up, Jeep’s Active Safety Group bundle of advanced driver safety features is now standard in the base Laredo model in addition to the pricier trim choices. Laredos now feature forward collision warning, automatic high beams, lane departure warning, and auto emergency braking. That’s big news for smaller budgets.
In 2020, Limited and Trailhawk trims include (as standard) the popular single-pane moon roof. And there’s now a new headlight option for Laredo, Limited, and Trailhawk packages. New Owners can choose bi-xenon high-intensity headlamps, daytime running lights, and LED foglights. Read the rest of this entry »
In a market that’s increasingly selling mostly trucks and SUVs, it’s quite surprising that the muscle car isn’t just surviving but even flourishing.

In celebration, Dodge launched a 50th Anniversary Edition model, which arrived at dealers a bit earlier this year. Here’s a short overview of the iconic Challenger and what the 50th Anniversary Edition has to offer. Read the rest of this entry »

Improved Performance
The Pacifica AWD Launch Edition will afford you more confidence as it makes for a more stable and secure performance. The system requires no input from the driver and will seamlessly engage when a change in driving or weather conditions is detected.
When such changes, such as challenging terrain or freezing temperatures are detected, the system automatically routes all available torque to the wheels that have the most traction, in this way keeping the vehicle stable on the road. The system also detects when all-wheel drive is no longer needed and then automatically engages the front-wheel-system, which enhances the minivan’s efficiency. Read the rest of this entry »

Best Places to Take a Hike in York County
With the Appalachian Mountains on one side and the beautiful Susquehanna on the other, York County is full of gorgeous natural getaways where you can experience nature. Here are our top three spots for going on a scenic hike through nature without leaving York County.
Heritage Rail Trail County Park
Heritage Rail Trail County Park in Glen Rock spans 21 miles of scenic southern Pennsylvania, connecting York’s historic district with the Northern Central Rail Trail in Maryland. Created along the historic train route of the Northern Central Railway, Heritage Rail Trail County Park provides visitors with a blend of peaceful natural views and exciting glimpses into the past. This mellow trail is wheelchair accessible, and you can expect to see young families, cyclists, and even horseback riders as you explore.
Historic structures are stationed throughout the park, including the Hanover Junction, one of the places Abraham Lincoln stopped on his way to give the Gettysburg Address. The trail crosses over four unique railroad bridges and passes through the Howard Tunnel, a rustic 370-foot brick tunnel that welcomed its first train in 1883. Read the rest of this entry »
4 Reasons to Love the 2021 Dodge Ram Rebel TRX
You know that a new vehicle is a highly anticipated one when everyone’s talking about what you can expect from the ride. That’s exactly the case with the 2021 Ram Rebel TRX, a truck that was first introduced at a concept show in 2016. Here are some speculations we hope are true about this pickup truck that will only amplify how excited we are to drive one.
Adjustable Suspension Steering
Ram trucks are known for their excellent handling, and rightfully so. The suspension found on these pickup trucks gives you power on the road and the ability to keep yourself and your passengers safe. With a strong suspension, your wheels remain where they belong — on the road — so you can navigate over nearly any terrain. Rumored to appear on the 2021 Ram Rebel TRX is adjustable suspension steering, which adds an extra element of control to your drive.
Although it’s currently unknown if this pickup truck will have its tried-and-true air suspension model or opt for a more electric system, a drive mode selector will be the base of its adjustable suspension. Now you’ll be able to adjust important vehicle features, such as the throttle, stability, shift points, among other options.
A Rugged Exterior
The Rebel TRX is rumored to have an aggressive look on the road, with dual exhaust tips that are blacked out for a powerful look, tow hooks, LED brake lights, a large hood with marker lights embedded into it, and impressively large 37-inch tires. The proposed front grille and width of the truck will make it a force to be reckoned with.
Dodge has been a time-honored pillar of American muscle cars, making upgrades and improvements that continually win over the hearts of their already loyal fans. The 2020 models are the best yet and the new Charger SRT Hellcat and Hellcat Redeye boast powerful and impressive specs.
Iconic Design
The new 2020 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat has taken its already iconic design and made it even larger and wider. Some of these outward enhancements include new wheels that are 20×11 inch in size and Pirelli 305/35ZR20 tires that are also wider. It comes with features such as a power sunroof, performance grille, automatic rain-sensing wipers, LED racetrack taillamp, and remote vehicle start. With eleven different exterior paint colors to choose from, there is a Charger to fit every style. You can also show off your Dodge pride with HEMI, SRT, and scat pack badges.
