Rolling on 22-inch polished aluminum wheels with Lights Out painted pockets, the upcoming 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer Series III is the top-tier model in the lineup. It comes with stylish upgrades to the exterior that make it stand out in a sea of SUVs.
Available in five unique colours – including Red Velvet Pearl and Silver Zynith – this trim level exudes elegance. It comes with full LED lighting and cornering fog lamps that will shoot the beams out at an angle so that you can see clearly into a turn before you take it. Combined with Night Vi

Meanwhile, the Quadra-Lift Air Suspension is bolstered by the Adaptive Damping Suspension. These two work in unison to provide you with the most

Your ultimate guide to buying a vehicle post Covid-19.

A car is a big purchase!

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate this process in our new normal.

Many things have changed in our World recently due to Covid-19. The car buying industry is no different, dealerships have stepped up and made significant changes in order to minimize contact and flatten the curve. With much of the buying process happening on-line now, it is much quicker and easier to complete a vehicle purchase. Many dealerships will take walk-around videos and email them to you, minimize in-person contact by communicating via email/phone/text, bringing the vehicle to you for a test drive, taking on-line/phone payments, bringing necessary financing paperwork to you, and of course elevated sanitation procedures.

Your vehicle purchase should be a safe and smooth experience! Here’s the ultimate guide to buying a vehicle – post Covid-19 …

Plan – Make a ‘Must Haves’ List based on the following

Determine what your needs are – considering the following:

  • any towing requirements (are you pulling a trailer/boat/other fun toys)
  • fuel economy (do you have a long commute)
  • climate (is 4 wheel drive important for winter)
  • seating (how many kidlets are you ‘towing’)
  • safety (of the many new safety options which are ‘must haves’)
  • budget (what can you comfortably afford monthly including taxes, insurance, registration fees, and fuel)

Research. Get on-line and begin searching on Google and YouTube

  • use some keywords from your ‘must haves’ list in your search
  • check out manufacturer’s websites and popular third party review sites
  • check out reviews for any dealerships you are considering working with
  • search any dealerships you know good things about like Murray Chrysler Okotoks and dealerships in your area

Find the Car

Narrow down to one or two makes and models that fit your ‘must haves’ list.

Test and Inspect

The recent World-wide pandemic of Covid-19 has changed many economic practices. One of these standard practices in dealerships for the last number of years, has been the test drive. With many people staying home and social distancing, heading out to a dealership seems to go against protocol. Luckily, the best dealerships like Murray Chrysler Okotoks have risen to the challenge and are now providing the Contactless Test Drive option! The vehicle is brought, sanitized, to you.

Take your test drive:

  • put the vehicle through its paces as you would in real life!

Buy 

This is where you decide if you are purchasing the vehicle outright or applying for financing and making monthly payments. This entire process, since Covid-19, can now be done with super cool dealerships like Murray Chrysler Okotoks, via phone/email/text.

How to: Open Air Freedom – Removing Jeep Doors and Roof

Open air freedom … everyone loves a convertible. That feel of the Summer sun on your face and all that fresh air rushing past.

Jeep has served our love for open air freedom for many years with the Wrangler. Traditionally, removing the top from any Wrangler was a little daunting. Over the years, Jeep has evolved finding new ways for Jeep owners to quickly and easily enjoy this open air freedom that we all love. Most recently, Wrangler models have become super easy to convert and the newest edition, the Gladiator is no exception. Now, the highly sought after ‘open air freedom’ is as easy as removing a few bolts and can be accomplished pretty much solo or with very little assistance.

Byron Hurd with Autoblog put this great video together. Using the 2020 Gladiator Rubicon as his model and only the tool kit that is included with every Wrangler and Gladiator purchase, he gives us a step by step guide to removing the doors, freedom panels and clam shell.

Give it a look, I think you’ll agree – easy, peasy, lemon squeezy! Click here to watch video.

FCA What’s Behind: S1E2 – South Africa – The Desert Test

Welcome to Upington! Another place I had never heard of let alone been to. This location is also perfect testing ground for all FCA vehicles!

From COLD to HOT … FCA uses this location to perform very similar brutal temperature testing. This time in +50C temperatures just outside Upington, South Africa – in the true desert and the sunniest place on the planet.

Here, vehicle systems are again put through their paces and mountains of data is captured. This data is critically analyzed in order to implement necessary changes on every nut and bolt, computerized systems, fabrics/plastics/paints, and more!

The rugged landscape and sand dunes are perfect testing ground for off-roading systems as well. The chemical composition of the sand is useful for carrying out extreme traction and dis-engagement tests.

FCA What’s Behind: S1E1 – Arjeplog

What the heck is Arjeplog??!! I was thinking the same thing!! Is it a wacky new model? Never, ever have I heard this word before…

Well, it’s actually a place … a very far away place. And it’s COLD!!! On the borders of the Arctic circle ‘to be exact’ … so very cold – all year. Definitely not a tourist destination, but perfect testing ground! Testing cars that is.

FCA carries out cold testing on vehicles at an FCA testing site in Arjeplog. All vehicle systems are put through their paces in brutal -40C temperatures and mountains of snow. Vehicles are either transported to Arjeplog equipped with all their data gathering instruments, or they are driven 3000km from Italy – all while collecting data.

Hundreds of professionals are stationed in Arjeplog every year to complete a number of quality controlled tests on snow covered tracks.

It’s really is quite the operation, check out more in this video
