The Jeep Wrangler has long served as an icon of the road. With a design that's optimized to tackle mud, snow, off-road terrain, and just about anything else you can think of, its rugged versatility has helped it grow into the go-to SUV for drivers with a mind for adventure. The Wrangler's status as an American favorite hasn't stopped Jeep from working to improve the popular model. The Jeep Wrangler saw a major overhaul in 2018, and has only grown more impressive with the tweaks and improvements made by the 2019 model. The new Wrangler has been so well-received that the auto experts at Motor Trend have named it their SUV of the year for 2019. "The Jeep Wrangler blew away our Motor Trend editors and judges by not only delivering class-leading capability for work and play, but truly impressive levels of refinement, technology, style and comfort," said Ed Loh, the editor-in-chief at Motor Trend. What exactly impressed them so much? It probably had something to do with the Wrangler's refreshed interior, as well the performance upgrades brought on by the most recent models. The newest Wranglers are wider on the outside and more spacious on the inside. This has allowed them to offer a roomier interior for passengers, that's also replete with modern touches like the Uconnect infotainment system. Under the hood, the 2019 Jeep Wrangler also boasts a new 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine. Added to the lineup in the 2018 model, it compliments the model's traditional Pentastar V6 with a powertrain option that's capable of 295 pounds-feet of torque.

The 2018 Dodge Durango excels in many areas that you wouldn't expect a larger SUV to excel in: performance, fuel efficiency and towing - just to name a few. Its durability and capability came into play during the eighth annual Winter Vehicle Competition and helped it drive away as the Official Winter SUV of the Year. This award was given by the New England Motor Press Association (NEMPA), founded in 1987, that spreads media coverage of the automotive industry around the northeast. NEMPA members and journalists test drove and scored each vehicle back in February in Middleborough, MA. It was how the Durango handled difficult winter road conditions that managed to put it over the edge in the competition. A few key features made it possible: Three all-star engine options that produce strong horsepower and torque: the 6.4-liter and 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 and the 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6. Class-exclusive standard eight-speed automatic transmission that creates a smoother ride and top-notch efficiency and acceleration. Exceptional fuel efficiency with the standard 3.6-liter Pentastar® engine that gets 26 mpg on the highway and a driving range of 600 miles per tank. Best-in-class 8,700-pound towing capacity when equipped with the 6.4-liter HEMI® engine that delivers 475 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. Seven-passenger seating with over 50 seating combinations, so no one is ever left out of an enjoyable, comfortable ride in the Durango. Standard ParkView® Rear Back Up Camera that gives drivers the confidence of having a second pair of eyes to prevent unexpected accidents. The 2018 Dodge Durango is an SUV that isn't afraid to go outside its body style to give drivers the performance and fuel efficiency they deserve.
