Introducing the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 R/T


Chrysler debuted its all-new performance-oriented 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 R/T model recently, promising the short-box, two-wheel-drive hauler with a 390-horsepower, 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 would go from zero to 60 in just under 6 seconds. Instead of a supercharger, the 5-speed AutoStick Ram R/T uses a “loose” torque converter for its strong off-the-line performance, delivering the Hemi’s peak 407 pounds-feet of torque to the rear wheels faster than a standard torque converter. A torque converter is a critical powertrain component that connects an automatic transmission to the engine. The torque converter enables the vehicle to stop without stalling the motor, which is what would happen if you took your foot off the clutch without placing a truck with a manual transmission into neutral at a stoplight.

Dodge Dakota MX Warrior Concept


The Dodge Dakota MX Warrior is a design exercise for the younger action-sports crowd. This authentic motocross-themed concept is a cooperative effort with Scott Waraniak. To give the Dodge Dakota MX Warrior a proper stance and prove it can venture off-road, the suspension is raised 4 inches. It's fitted with 20-in. chrome wheels from Mopar wrapped in 31-in. tires. TRX-4 fender flares cover the meats to keep the "splash" graphics fairly clean. There are also custom steel rock rails. The taillamps and bed extender were provided by Mopar. The Surf Blue paint with dark neutral metallic accents is courtesy of the Chrysler paint shop. Air is fed to the 4.7-liter Magnum V-8 engine through the custom hood with one-off intake scoops fabricated by the Chrysler plastic shop.

All-New 2009 Dodge Ram



When it goes on sale late this summer, there should be 4 revised engine choices. The base 215-hp/235 lb-ft 3.7-liter V6 will be replaced with the 260 hp/265 lb-ft 4.0-liter V6 used in the Dodge Nitro. The Ram's 4.7-liter V8 will get the same makeover as in the Dodge Dakota, boosting power to 300 hp/330 lb-ft, and the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 will get a bump in power. The all-new 2009 Dodge Ram is offered in regular cab, Quad cab and crew cab, with three box lengths: 8-foot (regular cab), 6-foot-4-inches (regular cab and Quad cab), and a new-for-2009 box length of 5-foot-7-inches (crew cab). Five trim levels are available, each with a unique appearance: ST, SLT, TRX,Sport, and the top of the line Laramie. The new Ram goes on sale late this summer as a 2009 model.

All-New 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT4



According to Dodge, four numbers are important when contemplating the significance of the Caliber SRT-4: 85, 125, 300 and 260. Eighty-five represents how much more horsepower the Caliber SRT-4 has than the Neon SRT-4 it replaces, which means it produces 125 hp per liter of displacement with a total output of 300 horsepower. The final number is 260, as in 260 lb-ft of tire-smoking, push-back-in-your-seat torque. Umm...wow. Just wow.

Freaking HUGE - Dodge Ram BFT Concept



Designer Scott Krugger knew his SEMA concept was big, but the reality of its size didn't hit him until he parked the Ram BFT next to a run-of-the-mill Ram 1500. Freakin' huge is, in contrast to the BFT itself, an understatement. In fact, we'd guess a profane version of the same statement could be inspiration for its name although Chrysler reps claim the BFT moniker represents "built for towing." So is this a look into the Ram's future? Perhaps. The next generation Ram may not be as big as the BFT, but color us not surprised should we see a 10-foot box out back.

Dodge ZEO Concept: RWD, Zero-Emissions Sport Wagon

Other details include "scissor" doors, front and rear lamps treated as separate sculptural forms, and the "ZEO Orange" and dark silver exterior.

Dodge ZEO Concept Interior



Inspired by organic forms and wireless technology, Dodge ZEO's interior is loaded with attitude and intelligence expected by youthful buyers. The entire cabin is treated as if it were a single piece of sculpture. A slim center console slopes down from the windshield creating a dual cockpit effect. With its bold exterior and curving, sculptural interior, the ZEO concept appeals to Dodge brand customers who want value, expressive design and useful technology.

Hear What Our Customers Have to Say:

Letter to the General Manager:

"In the over thirty years that I have been buying vehicles, I have never been motivated to write a letter to any dealership until now. As you are aware, there have always been publicly viewed, stereotypical disparaging characteristics associated with the purchase of a new vehicle, such as sales pressure, nominal trade-in values, financing add-ons etc. Nevertheless, I would like to say that your staff has completely eliminated those paradigms.

For several weeks in late October, I had been researching dealerships from southern Virginia to northern Pennsylvania (on the Internet) looking for a new Dodge Ram truck with specific accessories. I finally located one in your inventory. My initial e-mail to your dealership received a courteous response with no sales pressure whatsoever. Upon my arrival, I was met by Mr. Dale Howard who took me directly to the truck I was looking for and allowed me all the time I needed for an inspection and test drive. Later, I spoke with Mr. Bill Welsh who finalized the financial part of the transaction. Both of these individuals were exceptionally courteous, knowledgeable, and most importantly - fair. They indeed conducted themselves as true professionals.

Even after I had purchased the vehicle your dealership sent me a variety of customer service coupons, which is something I had never before received from any dealership, to include Mercedes! Normally, with most dealerships their motto seems to be based on the phrase, 'out of sight, out of mind'.

The bottom line is this - Your staff made my visit to your dealership an enjoyable experience and will indeed have me returning when I decide to purchase another vehicle. Please give your staff my thanks for their outstanding efforts."

Mark F.

"The courtesy extended to us in each and every encounter at Reed Brothers Dodge was remarkable."


Sincere thanks for taking such great care of our Dodge van while we were living in Maryland. I shall see about taking our van in once the holidays are over and appreciate the reminder.

The courtesy extended to us in each and every encounter at Reed Brothers Dodge was remarkable. What a pleasure it was to entrust our vehicle to Reed Brothers Dodge."


Jean & Richard V.
**********************

"Reed Brothers was the only professional of all the dealers I contacted."


"Sale was done on the Internet. Sales staff was the most helpful and professional of all the dealers I contacted. When I took delivery, the Internet sales staff did comparison to cars for me, gave me one price and stayed with it, and I did not ask for a lower price from them. It took 4 weeks to decide on the dealership. Ten other dealers, some would not quote unless I came into their dealership, some quoted the price different 3 times, always a little lower. Reed Brothers was the only professional."


Roger M.
**********************

"You should give Queenstown business cards!"


"You should make Dodge Corporate Customer Service, Winnebago Industries Customer Service, and Queenstown RV (Beltsville) aware that you do all sorts of repairs (including brakes) on the chassis of Winnebago View and Navion - there is a real need for somebody like you. All these things are on Sprinter 3500 chassis. You should give Queenstown business cards!"

"There is no pressure to buy, there is no haggle on price"


Hi Jeanne,


"Yes, there are surprises at Reed Brothers Dodge. There is no pressure to buy, there is no haggle on price, I took up a lot of your time on the Internet, and when I came in to make my selection Sam Auxier let me take my time and was very helpful. I hope I can be just as surprised when I return to the service department. Thanks again."


Roger M.
**********************

"Thanks!"


Tim,


"Thanks for your consistent professionalism and good service!"

"Purchasing the van via the Internet was a very pleasant experience"


Jeanne:

"Thanks for your assistance with the new Caravan purchase. I was treated very well at the dealership on Saturday. Purchasing the van via the Internet was a very pleasant experience. As I mentioned to Bill, the other Maryland dealer did not respond to me with a firm quote over the Internet. Instead, they asked me to call them. Thanks again!

Richard C.

"This is why I purchased my 2004 Dodge Ram from Reed Brothers Dodge."


"I would like to express my sincere appreciation to you and the Reed Brothers sales team in helping with the recent purchase of a used truck. I first visited Reed Brothers Dodge late on a Friday night and was greeted by Ben Litten. After we discussed what I was looking for, Ben showed me a 2004 Dodge Ram as well as two other comparable vehicles. The new car sales manager also worked with Ben to answer any questions I had regarding options and comparable values in the marketplace. They showed me advertised specials I was not aware of and educated me on some ways to better find the vehicle I was looking for. Working in concert they answered all of my questions without any pressure or false expectations.

Over the weekend that followed, I found a comparable vehicle at another local dealership that also met my criteria. Because of my pleasant experience, I came back to Reed Brothers with my wife and children to test drive the '04 Dodge again. Typically salesmen will highlight the features you want to hear about and omit features you don't or that are lacking. Ben answered all of my questions openly, honestly, and completely. As an Eagle Scout myself, I would expect nothing less from someone who has reached this level as he has. It was his integrity that bought me back.

When I did return, I appreciated your willingness to work within my tight requirements and offer me a great value at a better than fair market price. The value and quality the truck and the support your entire sales team provided is testimony to Reed Brothers. This is why I purchased my 2004 Dodge Ram from Reed Brothers Dodge. Thanks for everything."

"I plan to get my next car from Reed Brothers Dodge! "


"I would like to commend your staff in the service department for exceptional customer service.

On March 23rd, someone broke into my car to steal it. They messed up the ignition and other little things on my car. Unfortunately, I let my auto insurance lapse. I explained the situation to Tim and he was very sympathetic and caring. I told him that I really needed my car. I asked him was there anyway that I can eliminate some of the charges. Basically, I just needed to be able to drive it. Well, Tim made that possible. He was absolutely wonderful! He explained that people have hard times and to try to look on the bright side. Which is what I did. I was able to get my car back.

Tim is a great asset to your dealership. He really knows how to talk to customers when they are in need. I have had really bad experiences with car dealerships, but I can tell you that I recommend Reed Brothers Dodge to all my friends and co-workers. I tell them they have the best service department.

Please let Time know that his kind heart is greatly appreciated!"

PS - I plan to get my next car from Reed Brothers Dodge!

"You and the others who work at Reeds are a credit to your profession."


Hello Mark,

"I think you take really good pictures! I have sent the pictures on to Sweden (one daughter lives there), to San Diego for 2 grandchildren and N.C. for another daughter and Orlando and Yorktown, VA for our 2 sons. They all will know about Reed Brothers Dodge and how well we were treated. My, you should be "Salesman of the Year!" So friendly, so helpful, so knowledgeable. Thank you so much for your time and concern for us.

The van certainly fits in our budget and already it's given us some fun. Your parting advise was good; I started looking for something at one point, remembered your advice, and then kept my eyes on the road!

You and the others who work at Reeds are a credit to your profession. I was really happy today buying the car - usually it's stressful and I can't wait to get out of the dealership. Today it was a pleasure to be with you. Also you are great company!

Mrs. L.
