The new Dodge Caliber offers four models that each feature distinct advantages over the larger sized competition. Why buy something that’s awkward to drive and maneuver when you get similar space in something smaller?
The Caliber delivers a spacious interior with many options that allow seats to be folded flat to maximize space. The utility in being able to lay down the seats transforms this vehicle into one which can be utilized for many things.
The size of the Caliber is quite a bit smaller than a regular SUV, but does a terrific job of offering several configurations that make transporting your things very easily. In addition, the economy and overall value here is quite a deal when you consider what you can do with a Caliber that would normally require an SUV.
Caliber Express
With a suggested MSRP starting at $17,630, the Express model has many of the features that exist throughout the entire line.
Caliber Heat
The Heat model with a suggested MSRP starting at $18,745 offers a fold down passenger seat allowing for even more additional flat space when needed.
Caliber Mainstreet
The Mainstreet with a suggested MSRP starting at $18,810 is not much more in price than the Heat, so the feature differences are minimal. One example is that it comes with a Soft Tonneau cover.
Caliber Rush
The Rush with a suggested MSRP starting at $20,745 offers the most notable differences with the exterior fascia matching body color, leather steering wheel, power 6-way drivers seat, heated front seats, and Musicgate articulating speakers.
Each of the 2011 Dodge Calibers present a nice offering to those looking for more room without going to a full size SUV.

The 2010 Dodge Journey is full of cool new features, and speaking of cool there’s a clever way that you’ll be able to keep your beverages ice cold in the summer months. Just pop open the glove box and you’ll see it has been outfitted with a cooling system that holds two 12 oz. cans.
The Chill Zone™ is located in the glove compartment of the 2010 Dodge Journey, so take a cruise through the desert and you’ll be glad that the engineers had their creativity at work with this one.
By allowing beverages to stay cool in the vehicle it is also going to save you some serious money because if you’ve ever been in the car, in need of something to drink, you’ll typically pay a premium for something that is cold.
The Dodge Journey has a 5 plus 2 passenger seating system. This allows passengers to ride in comfort, and makes getting in and out of the vehicle is easier too. There is a 2nd row, just pull up the seat cushion at it slides the entire seat forward so the 3rd row so passengers can get in and out of the vehicle.
The Dodge Journey is in the popular mid-size crossover segment, it is the size of an SUV but it isn’t quite the size of a full size SUV. The Journey allows the same amount of seating but smaller overall, so it’s gets better gas mileage.
The Chill Zone™ is just one of the many features in the Dodge Journey, the other features such as storage bins with liners, and a media center that has navigation, 30 gig hard drive with voice commands, and a hands free phone system.
So if you’ve been in need of the practicality of a minivan but enjoy the style and performance of an SUV the 2010 Dodge Journey is a good option. Suggested base MSRP is $20,490 and is the most economical in its class. For a 7 passenger SUV you really can’t beat it.

Some dirt roads are hard to resist. The terrain appears sculpted and staged for offroading.
If ever a truck were conceived in such a place, the Dodge Ram Power Wagon would be on that list.
The 2010 Ram Power Wagon: An awesome beast to watch and even more fun to drive! The second generation Ram Power Wagon is a heavy-duty Ram 2500 fitted with Customer Preferred package 26P. This $6,350 option is about as truck altering as any seen on the market. The Power Wagon becomes a crew cab with a short bed four-wheel-drive and a 2 inch lift, massive 32 inch made for the terrain tires, skid plates, and a winch. But wait a minute okay all that is nice but what makes the Ram Power Wagon so ruggedly agile?
Well, let’s see the Ram 2500 uses Bilstein dampers, (electronic) front and rear differentials with a shorter 4:56:1 final drive ratio, high current alternator, and just push a button and the front stabilizer bar can easily be turned off. The Ram 2500’s rear suspension which uses leaf springs (stiffer and able to carry more weight) can provide greater load instead of coil springs and a live axle in the front instead of the double-wishbone independent suspension allowing the Ram to skim over rocky and uneven terrain. The vehicle also uses a recirculating-ball instead of rack and pinion steering which tackles wheel kickbacks.
Dodge offers this workhorse to consumers that need to get the job done on unforgiving terrains—not–for the family who wants a vehicle to tackle a bumpy road while pulling a boat. The Dodge Ram Power Wagon is built for customers who break a sweat and expect their truck to do so as well. With all that said the interior of the truck is comfortable and can also be fitted with several options like a rear seat video center to keep the workers happy on the way to the job.
The 2010 Dodge Ram Power Wagon is a great truck for people whose work takes them off the beaten path.

When in the market for a truck, and that is a vehicle that actually ‘trucks’ equipment, supplies, and people effortlessly, a strong tough exterior style pulls in potential customers like a magnet. The tough exterior design of Ram 2500, always intimidating was updated in 2010 giving an air of bulging power in variations of cab options and trims.
The heavy-duty Ram 2500 comes in three cab styles: regular, Crew Cab and Mega Cab, which is a jumbo crew cab. Ram regular cabs are equipped with the long bed style only; Crew Cab has two bed options, a short or long bed. The customer that steps up to the Mega Cab is offered a short bed to compensate for the extended cab. Consumers are offered a variety of trim levels with the regular cab offered in ST or SLT trims; Crew Cab in ST, SLT and Laramie; and the Mega Cab in SLT or Laramie.
Ram ST is the basic trim level and comes with 17-inch steel wheels, upholstery and floorboards that are easy to clean (vinyl upholstery), power windows on Crew Cab and manual cranks on regular, cruise control, stereo, split front bench seat, and of course air conditioning. Ram 2500 SLT puts on some spurs with chrome exterior trim and chrome wheels. Also on SLT is a sliding rear window, heated mirrors, and keyless entry. Inside the SLT trim level offers satellite radio and a host of other accessories when opting for the Big Horn package. Another package that is available to off-road Ram 2500 drivers are the TRX and Power Wagon
Muscle bodied hard working cowboy all slicked back for the evening Ram Laramie offers dual-zone automatic climate control, alloy wheels, leather seating, a power driver seat with memory, power-adjustable pedals, auto-dimming mirrors, rear parking sensors, and more. The technology minded consumer is also considered with these features: Bluetooth, rocking upgraded, get this, nine-speaker surround-sound with a 30 GB music server and iPod integration.
The 2010 Dodge Ram is rough and ready and when slicked back is almost irresistible when adding in options like a sunroof, front bucket seats, and a rear-seat entertainment system.

The Dodge Challenger has stepped up its performance appeal with a new appearance likely to brighten the spotlight on the modern day muscle machine.
The Challenger has been known to get a few gawkers as it rolls down city streets and reciprocates with the sound of its awe-inspiring V8.
To take it a step further, Dodge has just released a new offering in giving the Challenger an even more powerful stance with it’s already adequate appearance.
There’s no denying a need existed to offer a scoop, spoiler and other similar attributes. It brings a sense of supremacy to a design that already had our attention, and enhances this feeling of performance the Challenger represents.
The price tag for the exterior package is going for $1995. Its clearly worth it in this case as one gets a scoop, spoiler, some door trim guards and new graphics.
The interior provides a new Mopar shifter, T handle of course, new pedals and some carpet mats, and a new cover to protect it’s beauty from the elements. This is going to run you $945 for all these new treats in an automatic transmission model or $780 for the manual trans version.
Dodge is making the Challenger a true modern muscle car complete with all the traditions and makings of such. The feeling behind the wheel will now have the balance in appearance giving it’s design a fulfilled and completed prophesy.
The others in it’s class have been a serious challenge to the reincarnated legend and will be sure to make more known of it’s attention to the muscle car spirit. By bringing in all of these essential details, the Challenger is upping the bar for design and quality in a highly competitive line of modern muscle cars.
Kinda cool that the package captures the true nostalgia that makes the Challenger a hard thing to forget in the minds of enthusiasts who really appreciate these new offerings.
