2011 Dodge Durango Hits the Streets

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

Dodge is planning a total assault on the status quo for the 2011 model year, and it all starts with the 2011 Dodge Durango. While the name may sound familiar, the 2011 Durango is nothing like the SUV of yore and marks an entirely new, fresh, forward-thinking era of Dodge design. With its stiffened unibody structure and optimal 50/50 weight distribution, Durango is engineered with the driving enthusiast in mind. The end result is a vehicle that delivers premium driving performance combined with SUV capability and crossover versatility.

Beneath the hood, drivers are afforded all of the capability they’ve come to expect from a SUV thanks to the impressive engine choices. Available standard is the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine with 6,200 lbs tow capacity, fantastic fuel efficiency, and variable-valve timing (VVT). For those in need of a little more power, the legendary 5.7L HEMI® V-8 is also available and prepared to haul a staggering 7,400 lbs. The interior has been completely revamped for 2011 to provide a ride experience that is as extraordinarily breathtaking as it is capable. Surfaces are smooth and soft to the touch while the dazzling driver display creates a visually stunning cockpit that you’ll find difficult to resign to just the garage. The cutting-edge amenities are complemented by modern safety features, including standard front seat-mounted side air bags, side-curtain air bags that cover passengers in all three rows, Blind-spot Monitoring, Rear Cross Path detection, and Forward Collision Warning.

Thanks to our dedicated team of engineers and our commitment to consumer values, we’ve managed to produce a capable, powerful, fuel-efficient vehicle that can easily travel 500 miles on a single tank.

New 2011 Jeep Wrangler is IN-PRODUCTION NOW!

Friday, August 27th, 2010

At Landmark Dodge Chrysler Jeep, we can’t help but get excited about new models that are coming out and  our staff tends to blabber everytime we hear another detail about what Chrysler products are coming to our showroom!

The latest news is the New 2011 Jeep Wrangler just went into production in the Toledo, Ohio plant. The Wrangler has been around for a long time, and we have seen three generations of it right here at Landmark. Now we’d like to introduce to you the latest Jeep Wrangler.

New 2011 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited Feature All-new Interior and Premium, Body-color, Removable Hard Top

August 19, 2010 , Auburn Hills, Mich.

Chrysler Group LLC released images today of the new 2011 Jeep® Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited.

Jeep continues to refine the successful Wrangler formula by combining its legendary, benchmark capability with an all-new interior that delivers rich styling with significantly upgraded touch surfaces, occupant comfort and versatility, and a premium appearance courtesy of an all-new body-color hard top for the popular Sahara model.

“The iconic Jeep Wrangler keeps getting better,” said Mike Manley, President and CEO – Jeep Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. “While retaining unmatched, legendary capability, the 2011 Jeep Wrangler boasts an all-new interior that delivers a host of comfort, convenience and versatility features. In addition, Sahara models now feature a stunning, all-new body-color hard top, for customers looking for a Jeep Wrangler with a more premium appearance.”

New 2011 Jeep Wrangler interior highlights include a redesigned instrument panel and new storage areas with improved ergonomics and upgraded materials. A new lockable console and upgraded door armrest areas boast comfortable touch points, while a redesigned center stack is easier to reach and operate. Heated, power mirrors are now available, and drivers and passengers will enjoy enhanced visibility courtesy of larger rear windows.

All-new steering-wheel controls allow the driver to operate the radio, cruise control, hands-free phone and other vehicle functions while keeping hands on the wheel. A new USB device interface connects to storage devices (thumb drives and most MP3 players) for use with the vehicle’s Media Center, which now includes streaming Bluetooth audio. Twelve-volt accessory outlets have been added and a new 110-volt outlet is available to provide power similar to AC outlets in the home.

In line with traditional Jeep design, hex-head bolts are utilized throughout the interior, and are used to mount a “Jeep, Since 1941″ inlay onto the new passenger grab handle.

Jeep engineers increased acoustical treatment in the 2011 Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited, resulting in significantly reduced interior noise.

To provide a more premium appearance, the 2011 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited Sahara models boast an all-new, premium, body-color hard top.

Several new Jeep Wrangler colors are available for 2011, including Detonator Yellow, Deep Cherry Red, Sahara Tan, Cosmos Blue and Bright White.

Production of the new 2011 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited began earlier this week at the Toledo Assembly Complex in Toledo, Ohio.

Spy Shots-New 2011 Dodge Charger on the Fast and Furious movie set

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

It is confirmed that the 2011 Dodge Charger will indeed receive a new full-width taillamp treatment that looks a lot like that of it’s two-door Challenger kin.  These spy shots were captured by Jose Rosario during filming in Puerto Rico for the latest installment in the Fast and The Furious movie franchise. The photos show not only the addition of the full length rear taillights but also the aggressive front end and new interior.

The 2011 model’s interior, reveals a much more cohesive look. A new three-spoke steering wheel with redundant audio controls beckons, as does what appears to be a start button. The gauge cluster avoids the four gauge layout of the current car for a more unified cluster that’s marked out by a liberal helping of satin gunmetal trim and vertically oriented air vents bookend a new infotainment screen. Immediately below the screen, the Charger maintains its simple three-knob HVAC controls, and a step down from there is the CD slot. In the center console, a gated gear shift surrounded by what looks like faux carbon-fiber trim or more satin gunmetal trim. We are excited by all the improvements that the new 2011 Dodge Charger will have and can’t wait to start getting them here at Landmark Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram.

Spy shots-2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8

Monday, August 16th, 2010

A couple months after the release of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and a great response from our customers on the new design, we are thrilled to see Grand Cherokee and SRT8 back in the same sentence. Chrysler has been hard at work on a the high-powered SRT version of the new SUV. In the past, the Grand Cherokee SRT8 has always been a guilty pleasure of ours, if only for the rocket-like 6.1-liter Hemi V8 underhood.

Good news then that Chrysler is prepping an all new 6.4-liter Hemi for use in its SRT products, and we’re anxious to see how this new engine works in the Grand Cherokee application, which seems likely to hit as a 2012 model.

Early reports suggest that the engine could produce around 450 horsepower, but spy photographers are saying that we could see over 500 raging stallions coming out of this new monster mill. This means the new Grand Cherokee SRT8 could rip off 0-60 times in under five seconds!

Aggressive, Chiseled, Powerful, and Sexy!

The 2011 Dodge Charger has a more aggresive front end with chiseled lines that flow from the front fascia to the new hood. The powerplant is planned have an optional boost in power with a 6.4L HEMI SRT8 motor that gets better gas mileage than the 6.1 ltr and also about 25-35 more horspower(450-460hp). This is just a spy of the exterior but Ralph Gilles, Dodge brand chief, has said that the new interior will be “class-leading” with styling that matches the dramatic new exterior, we can’t wait!

More speculative power options……

  • 3.0 liter Phoenix V6 (possibly for export)
  • 3.0 liter Mercedes turbodiesel V6 — same as current version
  • 3.6 liter Phoenix V6 — around 290 hp
  • 5.7 liter Hemi MDS/VCT — around 360 hp (the engine itself is capable of at least 380 hp)
  • 6.4 liter Hemi (SRT) — we’d guess around 440-460 hp, with better gas mileage than the 6.1

All-New 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Coming SOON to Landmark!!

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

The 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee made another public appearance this week at the Chicago Auto Show. Its good looks inside and out, powerful engine options, smooth yet competent suspension and newly found luxury status will make a driving impact for the New Jeep Brand.

2011-jeep-grand-cherokee-image

The exterior design is much more upscale, with styling cues taken from the Mercedes M-Class. The exterior design wasn’t the only thing that Mercedes contributed to the long awaited SUV.

There has been plenty of technology and luxury implemented into the interior. Real wood accents, lots of leather, and heated seats for the front passengers as well as rear passengers. A few other great options that are new for the 2011 model; twin-panel panoramic roof, an intelligent remote start (which automatically heats or cools the interior based on outside air temp), a collision warning system, adaptive cruise control, and a blind-spot/rear cross path detection system.

Under the hood of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a V6 engine producing 280 horsepower while still providing competitive fuel efficiency. Also available is a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 producing 360 horsepower and is an attractive choice for those that require high towing capabilities.

2011-Jeep-Grand-Cherokee

Ride quality has been improved greatly without removing the Trail Rated suspension. Suspension has been one of the biggest improvements, now sporting a 4-wheel independent suspension with air suspension allowing the SUV to adjust the ride level by 4 inches. Electronic limited-slip differential provides superior off-road traction.

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Two of the wildest and rarest 2010 Dodge Challenger models will be available for ordering in March: the 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic and Challenger SRT8® Furious Fuchsia editions. With its Furious Fuchsia Pearl Coat exterior paint and new Pearl White leather performance seats, these limited-edition Dodge Challenger cars deliver unmistakable design, world-class handling, and powerful HEMI® V-8 engines in one of the most significant hues.

Dodge-Challenger-Furious-Fuchsia-3

“The new R/T Classic and SRT8 Furious Fuchsia editions modernize one of the most memorable hues from 1970 to create a modern muscle-car that exudes more performance, passion and even more nostalgia,” said Ralph Gilles, President and Chief Executive Officer, Dodge Car Brand.

The list price for the 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic in Furious Fuchsia Pearl Coat is $35,140, while the high-performance SRT8 model is $45,150 (both prices include $725 destination). Both Hemi-powered cars will be built starting in May 2010 – order yours at Landmark Dodge!

2010 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic Furious Fuchsia

Based on the powerful 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T, the Dodge Challenger R/T Classic Furious Fuchsia edition has dual throwback A-line body-side R/T stripes in Matte Black or Bright White. Completing the look are “Challenger” fender badges in classic script, large 20-inch polished-aluminum heritage wheels with all-season performance tires, classic egg-crate grille with heritage “R/T” badge, body-color rear spoiler, functional hood scoop and bright racing style fuel-filler door.

Dodge-Challenger-Furious-Fuchsia-7

Inspiration from the past continues with exclusive Pearl White performance seats accented with Dark Slate Gray and Furious Fuchsia French-seamed stitching as a factory-installed option. Monotone Dark Slate Gray leather performance seats and center console armrest with Furious Fuchsia accent stitching are standard.

When paired with the Tremec six-speed manual transmission, the 2010 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic Furious Fuchsia edition includes the performance-minded Track Pak with precision-shift “pistol-grip” shifter, anti-spin 3.92 differential and a performance-tuned dual exhaust with two low-restriction bottle resonators for maximum “throatiness.” And when it’s time to deliver, the Furious Fuchsia R/T Classic can accelerate from 0–60 mph in less than six seconds with its powerful 376 horsepower (280 kW) and 410 lb.-ft. of torque (556 N/m) 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine.

2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 Furious Fuchsia

If the tire-smoking Furious Fuchsia R/T Classic is not exciting enough, the 400 ultra-exclusive 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 versions delivers even more punch with a 6.1-liter HEMI V-8 engine—with engine block lacquered in original HEMI Orange paint—producing 425 horsepower (317 kW) and 420 lb.-ft. (569 N/m) of torque, performance-tuned ride and handling, benchmark braking and race-inspired interior with unique SRT-designed appointments.

Dodge-Challenger-Furious-Fuchsia-4

The limited-production Dodge Challenger SRT8 in Furious Fuchsia is based on the 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 and features several standard equipment upgrades, including all-new Pearl White leather SRT performance seats with Furious Fuchsia accented stripe, unique 20-inch SRT forged-aluminum wheels with Satin Black accents, serialized dash plaque indicating the limited production series of 400 and retro-inspired chromed quad-exhaust tips.
