McHugh CDJR in Zanesville has both new 2026 Ram 2500s and a strong used selection. Here’s what actually changed model-year to model-year and how to match the truck to the work without the usual dealership friction. more Home› Blog› 2026 Ram 2500 in Zanesville Written by Brian Horn, Sales Associate — McHugh CDJR Reviewed by Tim Ryan, General Sales Manager Published July 28, 2026 · Meet the Team Brian works with heavy-duty truck buyers every week and focuses on matching real configuration to the job, not the brochure. 4.5 Stars · 55 DealerRater Reviews McHugh CDJR · 3420 Maple Ave, Zanesville, OH 43701 · Serving Zanesville, Cambridge, Newark, and the I-70 corridor View Current Ram 2500 Inventory Get Pre-Approved In this guide: What actually changed for 2026 Towing, payload, and real-world configuration Current new and used availability New vs. recent used – the practical decision How we keep the process clean McHugh CDJR in Zanesville currently has multiple new 2026 Ram 2500 configurations and a solid used selection available. The biggest practical changes for 2026 are concentrated in the Cummins HO output and available packages. Below is the straightforward breakdown so you can decide what actually fits the work without the usual runaround. What Actually Changed for 2026 The 2026 Ram 2500 carries forward the same core architecture most buyers already know. The meaningful updates sit in powertrain tuning and package availability rather than a full redesign. Area 2024 2025 2026 Cummins HO 420 hp / 1,075 lb-ft 420 hp / 1,075 lb-ft Updated calibration + available packages Max Towing (properly equipped) Up to ~20,000 lbs Up to ~20,000 lbs Same rating, configuration still decides real number Key Practical Change Core platform locked Package refinements Focus on available options that actually affect work use The Cummins High Output remains the primary heavy-work engine. Most of the day-to-day differences buyers notice are in available options and how those options interact with real payload and towing numbers on the window sticker. Why do the numbers on the window sticker never seem to match the brochure? Brochure numbers are best-case configurations that almost never match the truck sitting on the lot. Cab style, bed length, axle ratio, and option packages all change the final towing and payload ratings. We pull the exact window sticker for the unit you are looking at so the numbers are the ones that apply to that specific truck. View current Ram 2500 inventory → Towing, Payload, and Real-World Configuration Maximum ratings only matter if the truck in front of you is built to deliver them. Axle ratio, rear suspension, and fifth-wheel or gooseneck prep packages change the usable numbers more than most buyers expect. We treat the window sticker as the source of truth. If the work requires a specific rating, we confirm the configuration matches before anyone starts talking numbers. “Most of today’s shoppers already did the research. Our job is to take the years of experience we have with these trucks and make sure the actual truck is fit for the job they need it to complete. That’s where the experience comes in.” — Brian Horn, Sales Associate, McHugh CDJR How do I avoid getting sold a truck that looks right but can’t actually do the work? Ask for the window sticker first and match cab, bed, and axle to the job before discussing price. Most of the problems we see come from buyers who fell in love with a truck that was optioned for a different use case. We reverse that order on purpose. See what’s currently in stock → Current New and Used Availability We keep a working selection of new 2026 Ram 2500s on the ground along with a deeper used inventory that includes recent model years. Availability moves, so the live inventory page is always the current picture. If you need a specific cab and bed combination, it is faster to tell us the requirements first so we can confirm what is actually here rather than sending you through a generic search. Why do some dealers keep adding fees after the advertised price? Because the system rewards the ones who outlast the buyer’s patience. We post the Internet price and work from there. If something is not on the window sticker or the written numbers, it does not get added later. That is the only way the process stays clean. Check current pricing → New vs. Recent Used – The Practical Decision A late-model used Ram 2500 with the right configuration often makes more sense than forcing a new truck that is over-optioned for the actual work. Depreciation hits hardest in the first two years, so the used side can deliver nearly the same capability at a lower total cost. We show both side by side when the numbers make sense. The goal is the truck that fits the job, not the one that looks best on a spreadsheet. Is it worth driving from Columbus or Cambridge just for a Ram 2500? Plenty of buyers already do it because the process and the pricing are cleaner than what they find closer to home. We are 53 minutes from Columbus via I-70 and about 29 minutes from Cambridge. If the truck and the numbers line up, the drive is usually the easy part. Meet the people who will actually help you → How We Keep the Process Clean Most of the fatigue buyers feel comes from fighting the process itself. We keep it simple: confirm the configuration matches the work, show the real numbers, and move forward only when both sides are clear. If you already know what you need, send the requirements and we will tell you what is actually available. If you are still narrowing it down, we will walk through the trade-offs without the pressure.

McHugh CDJR in Zanesville currently has both new 2026 Grand Cherokees and a deep used selection. Here’s the practical trim map and how to decide between new and recent used without forced packages. more Home› Blog› 2026 Grand Cherokee in Zanesville Written by Brian Horn, Sales Associate — McHugh CDJR Reviewed by Tim Ryan, General Sales Manager Published July 28, 2026 · Meet the Team Brian works with Grand Cherokee buyers who already know what they need and just want the configuration that actually fits how they use the vehicle. 4.5 Stars · 55 DealerRater Reviews McHugh CDJR · 3420 Maple Ave, Zanesville, OH 43701 · Serving Zanesville, Cambridge, Newark, and the I-70 corridor View Current Grand Cherokee Inventory Get Pre-Approved In this guide: What changed for 2026 Trim map that actually matters Current new and used availability New vs. recent used decision Keeping the process clean McHugh CDJR in Zanesville currently has multiple new 2026 Grand Cherokees and a deep used selection available. The 2026 model year continues the Hurricane4 powertrain and a simplified trim structure. Below is the practical map so you can decide what fits without forced packages or the usual pressure. What Changed for 2026 The 2026 Grand Cherokee keeps the same fundamental platform most buyers already understand. The Hurricane4 turbo four-cylinder remains the volume engine, and the trim lineup has been tightened so the path from base to loaded is clearer than it was two years ago. Most of the meaningful differences buyers notice are in package content and how those packages affect daily usability rather than dramatic mechanical changes. Trim Map That Actually Matters Most families land in one of three places: Laredo Altitude for clean daily use, Limited for the balance of features and value, or Summit when the interior and quietness matter more than price. Trim Best For Key Reality Laredo Altitude Daily driving, clean options Often the smartest value when you do not need the extra packages Limited Balance of features + comfort Most common “sweet spot” for families Summit / Summit Reserve Quiet, high-end interior Worth it only if the interior experience is the priority Grand Cherokee L Regular 6–7 passenger use Only choose if you actually need the third row regularly The third-row Grand Cherokee L still exists for the buyers who need it. Everyone else is better served by the two-row models that keep the packaging tighter. “Most families already know whether they need the third row or the extra space. Our job is to use what we’ve learned over the years and help them land on the one that actually fits how they’re going to use it — without loading them up with things they don’t need.” — Brian Horn, Sales Associate, McHugh CDJR How do I know if I actually need the Grand Cherokee L? If you regularly carry more than five people or need the extra cargo length, the L is the right tool. If you are buying it “just in case,” the standard two-row model usually ends up being the better daily vehicle and the better value. We will show both side by side when it is close. Compare current units → Current New and Used Availability We keep a working selection of new 2026 Grand Cherokees on the ground and a deeper used inventory that includes recent model years with the features most buyers actually want. Availability changes, so the live inventory pages are always the accurate picture. If you have specific requirements, it is faster to tell us first. Why does the advertised price keep changing once I get there? Because some stores treat the online number as bait. We work from the Internet price that is posted. If additional fees or packages appear later that were not disclosed, the process is already broken. We do not run that model. See current pricing → New vs. Recent Used – The Practical Decision A late-model used Grand Cherokee with the right equipment often delivers nearly the same daily experience at a noticeably lower total cost. Depreciation hits hardest in the first couple of years, so the used side can make more sense than forcing a new unit with packages you will never use. We put both options in front of you when the numbers are close. The goal is the vehicle that fits how you actually drive, not the one that looks best on a quote sheet. Is the drive from Columbus or Cambridge worth it for a Grand Cherokee? A meaningful number of buyers already make that drive because the process stays cleaner and the pricing is more straightforward. We are roughly 53 minutes from Columbus and about 29 minutes from Cambridge via I-70. If the vehicle and the numbers line up, the drive is usually the easy part.

This is not the same Cherokee that was paused after 2023. Jeep came back with an all-new powertrain, a new trim structure, and standard 4WD across every configuration. If you're commuting I-70 between Cambridge and Columbus, or making that run south on I-77 toward Parkersburg, this guide gives you the straight story on what it is, what you get, and how it compares to the Grand Cherokee. ── IN THIS GUIDE ── In This Guide What's New on the 2026 Cherokee Trim Levels: Cherokee 4x4, Laredo, Limited & Overland Cherokee vs. Grand Cherokee: Which One? Towing & Payload — Honest Numbers Why Summer 2026 Is the Right Time Cherokee on the I-70 Corridor America's 250th: Built for the Road Ahead Cherokee Inventory at McHugh CDJR FAQs People Also Ask ═══════════════════════════════════════ SECTION 1: WHAT'S NEW ═══════════════════════════════════════ 1. What's New on the 2026 Jeep Cherokee Jeep didn't update the Cherokee for 2026 — they rebuilt it. This generation is hybrid-only, powered by an all-new 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder paired with a two-motor hybrid transmission. There is no non-hybrid option, no V6, and no V8. The system produces an estimated 210 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque, and it does not require a plug to charge — the battery replenishes through regenerative braking and the engine itself. Stellantis estimates 37 mpg combined city/highway. The hybrid transmission uses a variable power split design with two motor-generators and a planetary gearset. In practice, this means the system manages itself — at low speeds or in light city traffic, the electric motor handles propulsion with the engine off. On I-70 at 70 mph, the engine runs and the system optimizes torque distribution automatically. You don't manage it; it manages itself. One important structural change: 4WD is standard on every 2026 Cherokee trim. The Jeep Active Drive I 4x4 system comes with Selec-Terrain traction management — four modes: Auto, Sport, Snow, and Sand/Mud. There is no FWD version of the 2026 Cherokee. You're not paying extra for 4WD here; it's the baseline. Active safety technology — forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and adaptive cruise with stop-and-go — comes standard on every 2026 Cherokee configuration. That's a meaningful shift from prior generations, where safety tech was scattered across option packages depending on trim. ═══════════════════════════════════════ SECTION 2: TRIM LEVELS ═══════════════════════════════════════ 2. Trim Levels: Cherokee 4x4, Laredo, Limited & Overland The 2026 Cherokee comes in four configurations. Every one of them uses the same 1.6L hybrid powertrain and ships with standard 4WD. What changes across trims is interior material quality, technology content, and feature sets — not the engine. Here's the honest breakdown: TRIM TABLE Trim Drive Key Standard Features Best For Cherokee 4x4 Base 4WD Standard Uconnect 5 w/12.3-in display, wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, cloth seating, 18-in aluminum wheels, full safety suite, Selec-Terrain Value entry, daily commuter who wants Jeep capability without the premium price Laredo Mid 4WD Standard Adds: heated front seats, remote start, dual-zone automatic climate, upgraded interior trim, power adjustable driver seat Best everyday value; most popular family configuration Limited Upper-Mid 4WD Standard Adds: leather-trimmed seating, power liftgate, premium audio, panoramic sunroof option, ventilated front seats Feature-focused buyer, longer commutes, family road trips Overland Top 4WD Standard Adds: premium leather, upgraded suspension, Nappa leather, off-road off-road capability enhancements, full driver assist suite, premium 9-speaker audio Premium buyer who wants the best Cherokee without stepping into Grand Cherokee pricing ⚠ Feature Disclaimer: Feature availability is subject to final vehicle configuration. Please reference your window sticker for complete trim details. See dealer for details on current availability and pricing. A few things worth knowing before you come in: The base Cherokee 4x4 already includes a 12.3-inch Uconnect 5 touchscreen with wireless CarPlay — that's not a Laredo or Limited feature, that's the starting point. Jeep moved the technology baseline up significantly with this generation. You're not trading down on the screen to save money on the base trim. The Laredo is where most buyers end up, and for good reason — heated seats, remote start, and dual-zone climate are daily-use features that matter on Ohio mornings. If you're commuting in January from Cambridge with a windshield full of frost, the remote start on the Laredo pays for itself before the end of the first winter. Ask the team what we have in Laredo configurations on the lot right now. ═══════════════════════════════════════ SECTION 3: CHEROKEE VS GRAND CHEROKEE ═══════════════════════════════════════ 3. Cherokee vs. Grand Cherokee: Which One Is Right for You? The 2026 Grand Cherokee got its own powertrain update this year — the new Hurricane 4 engine (2.0L turbo four, 324 hp) replaces the Pentastar V6 in most trims, with the V6 remaining as a base option. These are different vehicles built for different needs. Here's the honest side-by-side: Factor 2026 Jeep Cherokee 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee Powertrain 1.6L Turbo Hybrid only — 210 hp, 37 mpg est. 3.2L Pentastar V6 (base) or Hurricane 4 2.0L Turbo (324 hp) Body Size Midsize SUV — 5 passengers Larger midsize — 5 or 7 passengers (Grand Cherokee L) Towing Up to 3,500 lbs (see dealer for details) Up to 6,200 lbs on Hurricane 4 (see dealer for details) Fuel Economy 37 mpg combined (est.) — best in class for hybrid Lower mpg; higher performance ceiling Daily Drive Feel Lighter, easier to park, more efficient on Ohio highway miles Larger, more commanding road presence Best Fit Daily commuters, small families, efficiency-first buyers Growing families, towing needs, premium buyers If you're towing a boat, camper, or utility trailer regularly, the Grand Cherokee is the conversation you need — it has the tow rating to match those needs. But if you're driving I-70 five days a week and want to spend less at the pump without giving up capability, 37 mpg from a Jeep with standard 4WD is a compelling case. Both are in stock here. The fastest way to decide is to drive both on the same afternoon. Come in and we'll set that up — no pressure, just the information you need to make the right call for your situation. ═══════════════════════════════════════ SECTION 4: TOWING AND PAYLOAD ═══════════════════════════════════════ 4. Towing & Payload — Honest Numbers for Ohio Buyers This is a question people ask and dealers often skip. Here's what the 2026 Cherokee can and can't do when it comes to hauling: Specification Rating Maximum Towing Capacity Up to 3,500 lbs Maximum Tongue Weight 350 lbs Maximum Payload 850 lbs GVWR 5,350 lbs ⚠ Towing & Payload Disclaimer: Maximum payload and towing estimate ratings shown. Additional options, equipment, passengers, and cargo weight may affect payload and towing weights. Always refer to your vehicle's window sticker and owner's manual for final ratings specific to your configuration. See dealer for details. In practical Ohio terms: 3,500 lbs handles a small utility trailer, a personal watercraft, a pop-up camper, or a loaded cargo trailer. It won't tow a fifth-wheel or a full-size boat — that's a Ram truck or Grand Cherokee conversation. But for weekend camping along the Muskingum River or hauling equipment for a home project, the Cherokee covers it. The 850-lb payload capacity means a loaded Cherokee with two adults and rear cargo still has meaningful room before you're at the ceiling. For most buyers, payload is never the limiting factor in daily use — but knowing the number is part of making an informed decision. ═══════════════════════════════════════ SECTION 5: SUMMER 2026 TIMING ═══════════════════════════════════════ 5. Why Summer 2026 Is a Good Time to Buy a Cherokee in Ohio This is a freshly redesigned model in its first full model year. Inventory is available now, and you're not waiting on a dealer trade or a factory order to get into the trim and color you want. That changes by fall when demand patterns for new-generation models typically tighten. Summer also brings Stellantis promotional cycles tied to the Independence Day and July 4th calendar — OEM incentives on Cherokee models are worth asking about directly with the team here. The official guidance is always "see dealer for details," but that conversation is worth having before model year turnover. For used Cherokee buyers — the prior-generation Cherokee (pre-2024 model years) represents strong used-market value right now. McHugh carries used inventory across model years. Check our Used Vehicles page or the Vehicles Under $19,999 filter if budget is the starting point. ═══════════════════════════════════════ SECTION 6: COMMUTER TAKE ═══════════════════════════════════════ 6. Cherokee on the I-70 Corridor: A Commuter's Honest Take If you're coming in from Cambridge — 26 miles east on I-70, less than 30 minutes — or heading west toward Columbus, 55 miles down the interstate, you understand what Ohio highway driving actually feels like. Long stretches of open road, construction zones that narrow lanes between Exit 132 and Exit 153 without warning, and January black ice on overpasses that shows up faster than your reaction time if you're not paying attention. The 2026 Cherokee's Selec-Terrain Snow mode matters on the I-70 corridor in winter. The hybrid system's regenerative braking also gives you more controlled deceleration on wet or icy surfaces — you're not relying entirely on friction braking when the road is compromised. For a vehicle you're driving 250 days a year, that's not a small thing. For drivers coming up from Parkersburg, WV via I-77 — 86 miles, just under an hour and a half — the 4WD standard on every Cherokee trim is relevant before you hit the Ohio border. Those WV-side roads don't stay perfectly maintained year-round, and the Jeep Active Drive I system handles the transition without requiring driver input. And the fuel economy argument gets real fast on a highway commute. At an estimated 37 mpg combined, the Cherokee's 13.7-gallon tank gives you a realistic range of approximately 500 miles between fill-ups. Columbus to Cambridge to Zanesville and back — multiple times — before you're stopping for gas. That adds up fast over a work week. ═══════════════════════════════════════ SECTION 7: AMERICA'S 250th ═══════════════════════════════════════ 7. America's 250th Birthday — McHugh, Jeep, and Zanesville This July 4th, 2026 marks the United States' 250th anniversary — a semisquicentennial that communities across Ohio will celebrate with parades, gatherings, and the kind of civic pride this region does well. The McHugh family has been part of the Zanesville community since 1963. That's over six decades — three generations of McHughs on the lot, in the service department, and at the desk. Tim McHugh, Mike McHugh, and Kelly McHugh are all part of this dealership today. Jeep carries its own American identity forward with every generation. The 2026 Cherokee's 1.6-liter engine is assembled at Stellantis' Dundee Engine Plant in Dundee, Michigan — a domestic manufacturing footprint that matters when you're thinking about where your purchase dollar goes. This vehicle is built with American production infrastructure at its core. McHugh runs an Annual Toy Drive, participates in the Certified Ag Dealer Program, and has shown up for this community year after year since Lyndon Johnson was in office. Buying a vehicle here this summer is a transaction that stays local — in Muskingum County, in Zanesville, in a family business that's been doing this for 63 years. ★ McHugh CARFAX Top-Rated Dealer — See Why ═══════════════════════════════════════ SECTION 8: INVENTORY CTA BLOCK ═══════════════════════════════════════ 8. 2026 Jeep Cherokee Inventory at McHugh CDJR — Zanesville, OH 43701 We have 2026 Cherokee units available now.

Frequently Asked Questions — 2026 Jeep Cherokee Does the 2026 Jeep Cherokee come in a V6 or V8? No. The 2026 Cherokee is hybrid-only — a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder paired with a two-motor hybrid transmission. There is no V6 and no V8 option on this generation. The system produces 210 horsepower and 230 lb-ft of torque. If you need V6 or higher output in a Jeep SUV, the Grand Cherokee offers the 3.2L Pentastar V6 (base) or the new Hurricane 4 (2.0L, 324 hp) — both available at McHugh. Do I need to plug in the 2026 Cherokee to charge it? No. The 2026 Cherokee uses a non-plug-in hybrid system. The battery charges itself through regenerative braking and the engine — you don't need a home charger, a charging station, or any additional infrastructure. You fill it with regular gasoline at any pump, exactly like a conventional vehicle. The hybrid system operates transparently in the background. Is 4WD standard on all 2026 Cherokee trims? Yes. Every 2026 Cherokee — Cherokee 4x4 base, Laredo, Limited, and Overland — comes standard with Jeep Active Drive I 4WD and Selec-Terrain traction management. There is no FWD option on this generation. How much can the 2026 Cherokee tow? The 2026 Cherokee is rated to tow up to 3,500 lbs and carry a maximum payload of 850 lbs. Additional options, equipment, passengers, and cargo weight may affect these ratings — maximum payload and towing estimates are based on a specific configuration. See dealer for details and always reference your window sticker for your vehicle's final ratings. How far is McHugh CDJR from Cambridge, Ohio? 26 miles west of Cambridge — about 29 minutes on I-70. Take I-70 West to Exit 153 (Maple Ave), Zanesville, OH 43701. If you're coming from Cambridge, you've driven this stretch hundreds of times. What's the fuel economy on the 2026 Cherokee? Stellantis estimates 37 mpg combined city/highway for the 2026 Cherokee hybrid powertrain. The 13.7-gallon fuel tank translates to approximately 500 miles of range on a full tank. Final EPA figures may vary — see window sticker and EPA fuel economy estimates for your specific configuration. ═══════════════════════════════════════ SECTION 10: PAA ═══════════════════════════════════════ 10. People Also Ask What year did Jeep discontinue the Cherokee, and is it back for 2026? Jeep paused the Cherokee after the 2023 model year. The 2026 model is an all-new generation — not a continuation of the prior platform. Jeep rebuilt it around a hybrid-only powertrain with standard 4WD across all trims. It's back, and it's in stock at McHugh CDJR in Zanesville. Is the Jeep Cherokee good in Ohio winters? Yes. The 2026 Cherokee ships standard with Jeep Active Drive I 4WD and Selec-Terrain Snow mode. The hybrid system's regenerative braking provides more controlled deceleration on wet or icy surfaces. For Zanesville winters on I-70, this is a capable winter vehicle from the base trim up. Is the 2026 Cherokee a good commuter vehicle? For Ohio highway commuting — I-70, I-77, US-40 — the 2026 Cherokee's 37 mpg estimated combined fuel economy, ~500-mile range, and standard safety suite (adaptive cruise with stop-and-go, lane assist, blind-spot monitoring) make a strong case. You're not giving up Jeep capability to get those numbers; the 4WD and Selec-Terrain are still standard. Can I trade in my current vehicle at McHugh CDJR? Yes. McHugh accepts trade-ins on all makes and models. Call (740) 562-6745 to start the appraisal before you come in and we'll have the numbers ready when you arrive. ═══════════════════════════════════════ CONTINUE READING / INTERNAL LINKS ═══════════════════════════════════════ Continue Reading at McHugh CDJR Used Jeep Wrangler 4xe in Zanesville, Ohio — Buyer's Guide 2025 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Three Variants Explained 7 Reasons to Shop the Jeep Compass McHugh: Your Jeep Dealer Serving Zanesville, Cambridge & Newark Jeep 4xe Hybrid Models at McHugh — Learn More ═══════════════════════════════════════ SOURCES ═══════════════════════════════════════ Sources Stellantis North America — 2026 Jeep Cherokee Powertrain Press Release Jeep.com — Official 2026 Cherokee Product Page Stellantis — North American Brand Information McHugh CDJR — CARFAX Top-Rated Dealer Zanesville, Ohio McHugh CDJR — Meet the Team ═══════════════════════════════════════ DISCLAIMER BLOCK ═══════════════════════════════════════ Disclaimers: All vehicle features, trim configurations, and specifications are subject to change without notice.
