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. Meet the people who will help you → Keeping the Process Clean Most of the exhaustion buyers feel comes from fighting the process itself. We keep it simple: confirm what you actually need, show the real numbers on the units that match, and move forward only when both sides are clear. If you already know the requirements, send them and we will tell you what is actually available. If you are still deciding, we will walk through the trade-offs without the pressure.

Right now the pre-owned side gives you more options to compare, but the right vehicle for you could still be new. Always check the live listings before you drive over. What the Lot Looks Like Right Now On a recent count, McHugh had roughly four times as many pre-owned vehicles as new ones. That means if you want more years, mileage ranges, and price points to look at, the pre-owned lot is where most of the choices currently sit. That mix changes every week. A truck that looks perfect online can be gone by the time you get here, and a new unit can land overnight. Use the live new inventory and live pre-owned inventory so you’re looking at what’s actually available today. What You’re Seeing What It Means for You What to Do Fewer new vehicles than used The new selection is tighter. Specific trims and packages may not be sitting here. Check the live new page and confirm the exact truck before making the trip. A much larger pre-owned selection More years, mileages, and price points to compare. Filter by how you’ll actually use the vehicle, then narrow it down to two or three options. Inventory moves fast What you saw last night may already be sold. Call or message the team to confirm a specific vehicle is still here. When It Makes Sense to Start with New Start on the new side when a specific model year, powertrain, or package matters more to you than having a long list of options. If you already know you want a current-year Ram 1500 with a particular towing setup, or a new Wrangler with the exact soft top and axle ratio you need, begin on the new inventory page. Just don’t assume every configuration is sitting here — confirm the exact vehicle with the team before you drive over. Will the truck I saw online still be here when I arrive? Not always. Inventory changes as vehicles sell and new ones arrive. The safest move is to call or message the McHugh team and confirm the specific unit is still available before you make the trip. When It Makes Sense to Start with Pre-Owned Most people who are open on year and mileage end up spending more time on the pre-owned side simply because there are more trucks and SUVs to compare. You’re more likely to find different price points, different mileages, and both local trade-ins and other brands. That only helps if you already know what the vehicle has to do for you — tow, seat five, haul equipment, handle winter roads, etc. Otherwise a bigger selection just creates more noise. Start with the live pre-owned inventory. Does a bigger used selection mean any of them will work for me? No. Pre-owned inventory includes trucks, SUVs, and cars with different ages, mileages, equipment, and conditions. A crew-cab Ram that tows and a compact SUV that gets better fuel economy solve different problems. Tell the sales team what you actually need the vehicle to do and let them help you narrow it. How to Compare Without Wasting a Saturday The fastest way to waste a Saturday is to fall in love with the first good-looking truck you see online. Start with what the vehicle actually has to do, then look at what’s available. Use this process whether you’re looking at a Ram, Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, or something else on the pre-owned lot: Define the primary use. Daily driving, family trips, towing, work, or a mix. List the non-negotiables. Seating, four-wheel drive, bed length, towing package, or specific tech. Set a payment range that actually works for your budget. Don’t chase one advertised number. Open both live inventory pages. Look at what’s really here today. Save two or three solid options. Don’t pin everything on one vehicle staying available. Confirm the exact listing. Ask about price, mileage, equipment, condition, and whether it’s still here. Drive the strongest candidates back to back. Differences in visibility, ride, and controls show up fast when you compare them the same day. "Most people walking in already know which engine they want. Our job isn’t to talk them out of it — it’s to make sure the configuration, towing package, and cab layout actually match what they’re going to use the truck for. That’s the conversation that saves money long-term." - Brian Horn, Sales Consultant, McHugh CDJR Should I look at more than one vehicle? Yes. When more than one listing fits what you need, comparing them side by side is the fastest way to see real differences in comfort, visibility, and how the truck or SUV actually feels. Start with the used inventory or new inventory and narrow it from there. Where Financing Fits In Getting pre-approved doesn’t lock you into a vehicle and it doesn’t guarantee a rate. It just lets you walk in knowing what payment range actually works for your budget so the conversation stays focused on the truck instead of the paperwork. Use McHugh’s pre-approval page when you’re ready. Tim Ryan or another authorized team member will confirm any financing details that affect your decision.

Your Next Step Decide whether you need to start on the new side or the pre-owned side based on how specific your requirements are.

DIRECT ANSWER LEAD McHugh CDJR in Zanesville, OH carries all four 2026 Ram 1500 engine configurations on the lot — Pentastar V6, both Hurricane inline-six variants, and the 5.7L HEMI V8 that Ram brought back after the backlash made it clear they jumped too early. We've pulled the actual door-jamb weight ratings for these configurations so you know what you can legally haul up the Muskingum hills on I-70 — not what a brochure says in ideal conditions. One of our new Big Horn units moved off the lot this week. Summer incentives run through August 3. ── SECTION 1: FOUR ENGINES ── 1. The HEMI Came Back — All Four 2026 Ram 1500 Engines With truck guys actively debating the death of the V8 across every forum and YouTube channel, having three distinct engine architectures on the lot means you don't have to settle for a powertrain you don't trust. Ram CEO Tim Kuniskis addressed the decision publicly — the company acknowledged they moved too fast in dropping the HEMI and reversed course for 2026. The result: every 2026 Ram 1500 with a HEMI V8 now wears a custom "Symbol of Protest" fender badge — a Ram head mounted on a third-generation V8 engine block. It's not subtle, and that's the point. The HEMI is a $1,200 option on work and volume trims like the Tradesman, Big Horn, and Laramie, and a no-cost option on the Limited and Longhorn. Only the RHO and Tungsten remain Hurricane-exclusive. So you have a genuine choice: the twin-turbo Hurricane's immediate low-end torque, the HEMI's naturally aspirated V8 character with eTorque mild-hybrid assist, or the Pentastar V6's daily-driver fuel economy. All three architectures pair with the same 8-speed automatic. On the road, the numbers translate to immediate throttle response. If you're skeptical of a turbo-six replacing a V8, hook a 7,000-pound trailer to a Hurricane SO and merge onto I-70 southbound from Exit 153 — the low-end torque hits immediately without waiting for a transmission downshift. If you already know you want the V8 sound and feel, the HEMI delivers 11,320 lbs of towing capacity with the familiar character you're used to. Neither choice is wrong. It depends on what you actually use the truck for. Browse new Ram 1500 inventory → H3 FAQ UNDER H2 1 Can I still get a 2026 Ram 1500 with the HEMI V8? Our sales team at McHugh CDJR in Zanesville can confirm: the 5.7L HEMI V8 with eTorque is back for 2026 and available on most trims including Tradesman, Big Horn, Laramie, Rebel, Limited, and Longhorn. It runs $1,200 as an option on volume trims and comes at no additional cost on the Limited and Longhorn. The only trims that don't offer the HEMI are the RHO and Tungsten, which use the Hurricane exclusively. Every HEMI-equipped 2026 1500 wears the "Symbol of Protest" fender badge. If you want one, talk to us about current allocation — these are moving. Reach the McHugh team → ── SECTION 2: TOWING & PAYLOAD ── 2. Towing and Payload — Real Limits, Not Brochure Numbers We've bypassed the generic towing brochures to lay out how all four powerplants stack up when you're actually pulling weight through Muskingum County, not on a flat test track. The numbers below are the manufacturer maximums — which means they assume specific cab, bed, axle, and package configurations. Your truck's actual limits live on a yellow sticker inside your driver's door. Engine Horsepower / Torque Max Towing Max Payload 3.6L Pentastar V6 w/ eTorque Mild Hybrid 305 hp / 269 lb-ft Up to 8,130 lbs Up to 2,360 lbs 3.0L Hurricane I6 SO Twin-Turbo Standard Output 420 hp / 469 lb-ft Up to 11,610 lbs Up to 1,930 lbs 3.0L Hurricane I6 HO Twin-Turbo High Output 540 hp / 521 lb-ft Up to 10,740 lbs Up to 1,370 lbs 5.7L HEMI V8 w/ eTorque Mild Hybrid 395 hp / 410 lb-ft Up to 11,320 lbs Up to 2,300 lbs Before you hook up a trailer: Those maximum numbers assume a single-cab, bare-bones work truck with the right axle ratio and trailering package. Before you hook up, open your driver's door and look at your specific VIN's yellow tire and loading sticker — that's your truck's actual limit. Our team can pull those numbers for any unit on the lot before you commit. If maximum towing capacity is the priority, the Hurricane SO leads at 11,610 lbs with the HEMI close behind at 11,320 lbs. If maximum payload matters more — contractors loading the bed with material — the Pentastar V6 tops the chart at 2,360 lbs. The Hurricane HO is the performance engine; it trades some capacity for the most horsepower ever offered in a Ram 1500. Pick the engine that matches how you actually use the truck, not the one with the biggest number on a spec sheet. Compare configurations on the lot → H3 FAQ UNDER H2 2 Which 2026 Ram 1500 engine is best for towing on Ohio hills? Our service bay and sales team at McHugh CDJR in Zanesville work with these trucks daily — for regular towing through the I-70 corridor and Muskingum County hills, the Hurricane I6 Standard Output is the strongest option at 11,610 lbs maximum towing capacity. The twin-turbo system delivers immediate low-RPM torque without waiting for a downshift, which matters when you're pulling weight up a grade. The HEMI V8 is close behind at 11,320 lbs and feels familiar if you've towed with a V8 before. Both handle the stretch between Cambridge and Newark without drama. We'll pull the door-jamb numbers for any specific VIN you're considering. See available tow-rated configurations → ── SECTION 3: TECH & CONNECTIVITY ── 3. Uconnect 5 — No Subscription Paywalls, Physical Controls Kept With other brands actively locking standard dashboard features behind monthly subscription paywalls — charging you a recurring fee to use heated seats, remote start, or navigation hardware you already bought and paid for — Ram keeping wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard across the lineup is a decision worth noting. The 2026 Ram 1500 runs Uconnect 5 on a 12.3-inch touchscreen standard, with an available 14.5-inch portrait display on upper trims. Your phone maps, music, and messaging work the way you already use them without an extra monthly line item. The detail that matters if you actually work in your truck: Ram kept physical dials for your primary climate and volume controls. Instead of forcing you to dive through three sub-menus just to turn on the defroster, you can adjust temperature and fan speed with work gloves on without taking your eyes off the road. The available 10.25-inch front passenger display is a segment exclusive — your passenger manages navigation or music without touching your screen. Remote start is standard across every trim. See tech packages by trim → ── SECTION 4: SAFETY ── 4. I-70 Safety Systems — Helpful When They Need to Be We know active lane-assist and blind-spot sensors can sometimes feel like a nagging co-pilot — especially when construction zones on US-40 force you to ride the line and the truck fights your steering input with a warning you don't need. That frustration is real, and we hear it. The 2026 Ram 1500's safety suite is built to step in when there's an actual hazard without aggressively overriding your inputs on icy pavement or in tight construction corridors. Standard Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Lane Departure Assist are calibrated for highway conditions, not parking-lot false alarms. For longer hauls past Newark or down I-70 to Columbus, the available Hands-Free Active Driving Assist combines adaptive cruise, radar, and lane centering for supervised hands-free highway driving. It's genuinely useful on monotonous open stretches where fatigue sets in — not a replacement for paying attention, but a system that keeps the truck centered while you focus on the road ahead. Over 100 standard and available safety features total. Compare safety features by trim → H3 FAQ UNDER H2 4 Does the 2026 Ram 1500 have hands-free highway driving? Our team at McHugh CDJR in Zanesville has tested the Hands-Free Active Driving Assist system on select 2026 Ram 1500 trims — it works on compatible divided highways for supervised hands-free driving. The system combines adaptive cruise control, radar mapping, and lane-centering technology. It's designed to reduce fatigue on long I-70 runs, not replace driver attention. Ask which trims include the package and we'll walk you through how it behaves on the roads you actually drive. Talk to the McHugh team → ── SECTION 5: SUMMER EVENT ── 5. Make This The Summer Event — Incentives Before August 3 Stellantis launched the Make This The Summer event with two distinct incentive tracks depending on trim level.

The 2026 Jeep Cherokee is back and McHugh CDJR in Zanesville, OH has them in stock. Compare trims, get answers, and find yours off I-70 Exit 153A. more ── BREADCRUMB ── Home› Blog› 2026 Jeep Cherokee Buyer's Guide — Zanesville, OH ── H1 ── The 2026 Jeep Cherokee Is Back — A Complete Buyer's Guide for Zanesville, Ohio Drivers ── AUTHOR BLOCK ── Written by Brian Horn — Sales Consultant, McHugh Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT Reviewed by Tim Ryan, General Manager  | Meet the McHugh Team → Published June 2026  |  Zanesville, OH 43701 ── INTRO PARAGRAPH ── The 2026 Jeep Cherokee is back — rebuilt from the ground up as a hybrid SUV, and McHugh CDJR has them in stock right now at 3420 Maple Ave, Zanesville, OH 43701, off I-70 Exit 153. 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.

Why McHugh CDJR on Maple Ave Is Zanesville's Jeep Headquarters Frequently Asked Questions People Also Ask ── INTRO COPY ── If you drive the stretch of I-70 between Zanesville and Columbus every week — or you're hauling kids down SR-60 toward McConnelsville — you already know the deal. The roads are long. The summers are hot. And the wrong vehicle makes every mile feel harder than it needs to be. That's not a brochure statement. That's just life in Muskingum County. Here at McHugh Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT on 3420 Maple Ave in Zanesville, OH 43701, we've watched the Jeep lineup evolve every year — and Summer 2026 is a truly exciting to be shopping for a Jeep, whether you're buying new or certified pre-owned. This guide makes it simple and gives you the real comparison: what the models actually do, what your budget actually gets you, and which vehicle is worth your time to test drive this summer. ══════════════════════════════════════════ SECTION 1 ══════════════════════════════════════════ 1. Why Jeep Is the Right Call for Summer 2026 in Ohio Summer in Ohio is peak driving season — July 4th weekend means the bridges over the Muskingum River get busy, families are loading up for Dillon State Park, and work-truck owners are making full use of those long daylight hours on job sites from Coshocton to Parkersburg. The vehicles that hold their value and performance under this kind of use aren't random — they're Jeeps. Stellantis has made a clear commitment to the Jeep brand in 2026, including new model launches, adjusted pricing on the Wrangler lineup to give buyers more value, and the return of the Cherokee nameplate with refreshed powertrain options. According to CBT News, Stellantis is targeting a meaningful U.S. sales rebound in 2026 with a dealer-first strategy and increased regional advertising support — which means better deals are available on lots like ours right now. Ohio's automotive market is one of the strongest in the nation. The Ohio auto industry contributes $52 billion in GDP impact and supports 145,000 jobs statewide — this is a state that knows vehicles and knows value. Buyers here don't settle, and they shouldn't have to. ══════════════════════════════════════════ SECTION 2 ══════════════════════════════════════════ 2. The 2026 Jeep Cherokee Is Back — and It's Built for Ohio Roads The Cherokee is one of the most searched Jeep nameplates by Ohio buyers — and for good reason. The 2026 model year brings a refreshed powertrain lineup and updated interior technology that makes it genuinely competitive for Ohio commuters who want Jeep capability without the full-size footprint of a Grand Cherokee. If you're driving SR-40 into town or commuting west on I-70 toward Columbus (Exit 153 at Maple Ave, for reference — McHugh is right there), the Cherokee sits at the sweet spot of fuel efficiency, all-wheel-drive confidence, and enough cargo space to actually be useful. It's not a trail machine first — but it handles Ohio's seasonal roads, gravel access roads to hunting land, and everything between Zanesville and Newark without breaking a sweat. McHugh currently carries new Cherokee inventory in Zanesville. If this is the model you've been waiting for, now is the time — availability on the Cherokee refresh is still limited across the region, and our team can walk you through exactly what's on the lot today.

New vs. Used Jeep in Zanesville: What Your Budget Actually Gets You The used Jeep market in Ohio has stabilized coming out of the last few years of volatility. That's genuinely good news for buyers who want a Jeep without new-car pricing — and it's especially relevant in Zanesville, where working families and independent business owners need real value without games. Budget Range What You Get (New) What You Get (Used/CPO) Under $20,000 Not applicable for new Jeep Used Jeep Compass or older Cherokee — well-maintained, low miles available $20,000–$30,000 Entry-level Wrangler (with incentives) 2022–2023 Cherokee, Used Wrangler Sahara — strong value window $30,000–$40,000 New 2026 Cherokee, New Wrangler Sport S 2022–2024 Grand Cherokee, Used Wrangler Rubicon / 4xe models $40,000+ New Grand Cherokee, Wrangler 4xe, Grand Cherokee L Certified Pre-Owned Grand Cherokee, recent-year Wrangler 4xe McHugh carries vehicles across all of these budget ranges — including a dedicated section of vehicles priced under $19,999 for buyers who need something reliable without stretching their finances.

That matters when you're spending real money. ══════════════════════════════════════════ SECTION 5 — I-70 COMMUTER ══════════════════════════════════════════ 5. I-70 Commuter Checklist: Which Jeep Fits Your Drive? Let's talk real Ohio driving. If you're heading west on I-70 toward Columbus — take Exit 153 (Maple Ave) to find us on the way out — you're covering about 55 miles of open interstate. At highway speeds, the Grand Cherokee and Cherokee both deliver smooth, refined comfort that you won't feel in a truck. If your drive is shorter, inside Zanesville's 43701 zip code or up SR-60 toward Coshocton, the Wrangler's tighter frame and open-air option make your daily drive feel like a choice, not a chore. Drivers coming in from Cambridge (26 miles east on I-70, about 29 minutes) or from Parkersburg, WV (86 miles south on I-77, about 87 minutes) know the road between here and there can change season to season. Jeep's AWD and 4WD systems were built for exactly that — unpredictable traction conditions that switch without warning. 🛣️ Quick Commuter Match: I-70 to Columbus daily (55 mi): Grand Cherokee or Cherokee — highway comfort matters here In-town Zanesville, 43701: Wrangler or Compass — easy parking, confident city feel Cambridge → Zanesville (I-70 East): Cherokee or Wrangler — quick, capable Parkersburg → Zanesville (I-77 North): Grand Cherokee — long-haul comfort + AWD reliability Off-road / Wayne National Forest trails: Wrangler Rubicon — no contest ══════════════════════════════════════════ SECTION 6 — McHUGH ADVANTAGE ══════════════════════════════════════════ 6.

For most Zanesville commuters — especially those running I-70 into Columbus or around town on Maple Ave — the 2026 Jeep Cherokee or Grand Cherokee provides the best balance of comfort, fuel efficiency, and all-weather confidence. The Wrangler is unmatched off-road and for open-air summer driving, but the Cherokee wins on practical daily utility. Is it better to buy a new or used Jeep in 2026? It depends on your budget and how long you plan to keep the vehicle. The used market has stabilized significantly in 2026, making 2022–2024 Jeep models excellent value — especially the Grand Cherokee and Wrangler 4xe, which depreciate after the first one to two years. New Jeeps offer full warranty coverage and the latest safety tech. McHugh carries both, including vehicles under $19,999. Does McHugh CDJR in Zanesville have the 2026 Cherokee in stock? Yes — McHugh Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT on 3420 Maple Ave, Zanesville, OH 43701 carries new 2026 Cherokee inventory.

The Grand Cherokee is assembled in Detroit. "Assembled in the USA" means the final vehicle comes together domestically using a mix of domestic and international components. For buyers who prioritize American manufacturing, Jeep has one of the strongest stories in the industry. ══════════════════════════════════════════ PAA ══════════════════════════════════════════ People Also Ask What is the difference between the Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee? The Cherokee is Jeep's mid-size SUV, offering strong efficiency and AWD capability in a more compact package. The Grand Cherokee is larger, with more cargo room, premium interior options, and available three-row seating in the Grand Cherokee L version. For families needing more space, the Grand Cherokee is the natural step up. What does Jeep 4xe mean? Jeep 4xe refers to Jeep's plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) technology, available on the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe. It combines a turbocharged gasoline engine with an electric motor and battery, allowing for electric-only range at lower speeds and combined gas-electric power for trails and highway driving.

Like any vehicle, reliability depends heavily on maintenance history and mileage.

H1 32 Used Wrangler 4xe Units in Zanesville — What to Know Before You Shop 4xe LOGO INLINE TABLE OF CONTENTS In this guide: What Is the Jeep Wrangler 4xe? 2021, 2022, and 2025: What Changed Year Over Year Rubicon vs. Sahara vs. Willys — Which Trim Fits You? Why the 4xe Makes Sense for Ohio Roads Ohio Rebates and Incentives for PHEV Buyers in 2026 Frequently Asked Questions OPENING PARAGRAPH The Wrangler 4xe is one of the most requested used vehicles I see walk through the door here on Maple Ave. Buyers from Zanesville, Cambridge, and even Newark come in with real questions: What year should I buy? What's the difference between a Rubicon and a Sahara in real-world Ohio driving? Does the plug-in system actually hold up used? This guide answers those questions directly — no brochure language, no filler. McHugh currently carries 32 used Wrangler 4xe models spanning the 2021, 2022, and 2025 model years — across the Rubicon, Sahara, and Willys trims. That's one of the largest pre-owned 4xe selections in Muskingum County. Here's how to navigate it. SECTION 1: WHAT IS THE 4xe What Is the Jeep Wrangler 4xe? 13 MODES IMAGE The 4xe is Jeep's plug-in hybrid version of the Wrangler. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged engine paired with two electric motors and a 17.3 kWh battery pack. Combined output is 375 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque — more than any previous Wrangler powertrain. You can drive it on electric power alone for short trips, switch to gas on longer hauls, or blend both in E-Save mode when you want to preserve battery charge for trail use. For a Muskingum County commuter who drives 15–20 miles each way, the electric-only range handles most workday driving without touching the gas engine. Fill the battery overnight at a standard 120V outlet — or faster on a 240V Level 2 charger — and the Wrangler does what it always did on weekends, just with more torque at low speed for technical terrain. 4xe SPEC TABLE — 2025 base 2025 Wrangler 4xe Powertrain Specs (all trims): Spec Detail Engine 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 + 2 electric motors Combined output 375 hp / 470 lb-ft torque Battery pack 17.3 kWh lithium-ion EPA electric range (2025) 25 miles Fuel economy (gas + electric) 49 MPGe combined Towing capacity 3,500 lbs Charging (Level 1 / Level 2) ~12 hrs (120V) / ~2.5 hrs (240V) Source: fueleconomy.gov; media.jeep.com. EPA estimates. Actual results vary. SECTION 2: MODEL YEAR GUIDE 2021, 2022, and 2025: What Changed Year Over Year McHugh's current 4xe inventory spans three model years. Understanding what Jeep changed between them helps you decide whether the newer — and typically higher-priced — 2025 is worth the premium over a 2021 or 2022. The short version: the powertrain is the same across all three years. The differences are in EPA certification, trim availability, and refinement. Here's the full picture: Feature 2021 2022 2025 Combined output 375 hp 375 hp 375 hp EPA electric range ~14 mi (pre-cert) 21 mi (EPA) 25 mi (EPA) Fuel economy ~49 MPGe (est.) 49 MPGe 49 MPGe Willys 4xe available No Yes Yes Typical used price range Lower Mid Higher Fed. used EV credit eligible* Check price Check price Check price *Federal used clean vehicle credit eligibility depends on sale price ($25,000 limit), buyer income, and vehicle qualification. See tax credit section below or consult a tax professional. If you're deciding between a 2021 and a 2022: the biggest practical difference is EPA certification. The 2021 4xe debuted before Jeep completed full EPA range testing, so the ~14-mile estimate was manufacturer-reported. The 2022 came with a confirmed 21-mile EPA certification. That's meaningful if you're using the electric range number to make charging decisions or to qualify the vehicle for specific tax programs. If you're deciding between 2022 and 2025: the powertrain didn't change. The 2025 gained 4 miles of EPA range, minor styling refinements, and typically carries a higher used price to match. If the 4-mile electric range difference doesn't move your needle, the 2022 is the better value. SECTION 3: TRIM BREAKDOWN Rubicon vs. Sahara vs. Willys — Which Trim Fits You? All three 4xe trims share the same plug-in hybrid powertrain. The differences are in how they handle off-road terrain, how they ride on-road, and what comes standard. Here's the honest breakdown for a Muskingum County buyer: Feature Rubicon 4xe Sahara 4xe Willys 4xe 4WD system Rock-Trac 4:1 Command-Trac 2.72:1 Rock-Trac 4:1 Front sway bar disconnect Electronic No No Standard tires 33-in M/T 32-in H/T 33-in A/T On-road ride comfort Firm (trail-tuned) Smoothest Mid Skid plates Full Dana 44 axle Partial Full Best for Serious trail use Daily commute + light trail Best value off-road McHugh used inventory 18 units 9 units 3 units Rubicon 4xe (18 units): The Rubicon is the one people have strong feelings about. The Rock-Trac 4:1 transfer case and electronic sway bar disconnect are legitimate advantages on technical terrain — think Wayne National Forest, the trails outside McConnelsville, or anything with rock, mud, and steep grade changes. On a daily commute down 70 or 40, the firm suspension is noticeable but manageable. If you bought it to actually go off-road, it delivers. Sahara 4xe (9 units): The Sahara is what most Zanesville commuters actually need. Command-Trac handles snow, gravel, and wet-pavement Ohio winters without hesitation. The on-road ride is noticeably smoother than the Rubicon. If the Wrangler is your everyday vehicle and you occasionally head somewhere unpaved, the Sahara hits the right balance. Willys 4xe (3 units): The Willys was added to the 4xe lineup in 2022 specifically as the off-road-capable option at a lower price point than the Rubicon. Rock-Trac and full skid plates without the full Rubicon premium. Only 3 in stock, and they tend to move fast for that reason. If one fits your needs, don't wait on it. SECTION 4: OHIO USE CASE Why the 4xe Makes Sense for Ohio Roads CITY IMAGE Ohio is not a coast-to-coast EV infrastructure state — and the 4xe doesn't ask you to treat it like one. The hybrid architecture means your range anxiety is zero: the 2.0L gas engine is always there. What the 4xe gives you is the ability to handle the predictable parts of your week on electricity, and never change your habits for the unpredictable parts. The average Muskingum County round-trip commute — Zanesville to Cambridge on 209, or Coshocton to Zanesville on 36 — runs 20–40 miles. A 2022 or 2025 4xe handles a meaningful portion of that on battery. For buyers coming in from Newark on Route 16, the math is similar: plug in at home, drive the first 21–25 miles electric, and the engine picks up seamlessly afterward. Ohio winters are the other factor. The 4xe's 4WD systems — Rock-Trac or Command-Trac depending on trim — handle snow and ice-covered roads as well as any conventional Wrangler. The hybrid battery performs better in cold when pre-conditioned while plugged in, which is an easy habit to build. The vehicle heats itself from grid power, not from burning gas just to warm the cabin. SECTION 5: OHIO REBATES 2026 Ohio Rebates and Incentives for PHEV Buyers in 2026 The federal plug-in hybrid tax credit expired on September 30, 2025. Vehicles purchased on or after October 1, 2025 — including used Wrangler 4xe units bought today — are no longer eligible for the federal used clean vehicle credit under the updated legislation. That changes the financial calculation, but it doesn't eliminate your options. What Ohio PHEV buyers can still access in 2026: Ohio utility rebates: AEP Ohio and Ohio Edison (FirstEnergy) both offer rebates for customers who purchase plug-in hybrid or electric vehicles and charge during off-peak hours. Amounts vary by program year — confirm current figures directly with your utility provider. Ohio EPA clean vehicle programs: Ohio has historically offered state-level rebates for PHEVs through environmental incentive programs. Verify current 2026 availability at epa.ohio.gov. Stellantis OEM offers: Manufacturer incentives on pre-owned certified Jeep vehicles may be available separately from government programs. Ask our finance team about any current Stellantis offers on 4xe models. Home charging offset: Installing a Level 2 charger at home may qualify for a 30% federal tax credit under the Residential Clean Energy Credit (Section 25D) — this remains in effect for 2026. A Level 2 charger reduces 4xe charge time from ~12 hours to ~2.5 hours. The expiration of the federal credit is worth acknowledging directly: it removes a meaningful incentive that existed through late 2025. What it doesn't change is the day-to-day value of the 4xe powertrain itself — 375 hp, 470 lb-ft of torque, 21–25 miles of electric range, and full Wrangler 4WD capability in one vehicle. For Ohio buyers who drive predictable daily routes and want to reduce fuel spend without giving up capability, the math on the 4xe still works. It just works on its own merits now, not on the strength of a credit.

What the CARFAX Top-Rated award means for Zanesville buyers › FAQ SECTION Frequently Asked Questions How many miles of electric range does the Jeep Wrangler 4xe get? The 2022 Wrangler 4xe carries an EPA-certified electric range of 21 miles. The 2025 model year reached 25 miles EPA-certified. The 2021 model year was the launch year and did not carry full EPA range certification at launch — manufacturer estimates at the time were approximately 14 miles. All 4xe models use the same 17.3 kWh battery and 2.0L hybrid powertrain producing 375 hp combined. What is the difference between the Wrangler Rubicon 4xe and Sahara 4xe? The Rubicon 4xe is trail-first: Rock-Trac 4:1 transfer case, electronic front sway bar disconnect, and 33-inch mud-terrain tires standard. The Sahara 4xe prioritizes on-road comfort, with Command-Trac 4WD, highway-terrain tires, and a noticeably smoother daily ride. Both share the 375 hp plug-in hybrid powertrain. The Willys sits between them — Rubicon-grade Rock-Trac and full skid plates at a lower entry price. Is the Jeep Wrangler 4xe a good used buy in Ohio? Yes. The Wrangler 4xe handles Ohio's mix of daily commuting and seasonal weather well. The hybrid system lets you run short trips on electric power without range anxiety — the gas engine is always available. Ohio winters are handled by the same proven 4WD systems as conventional Wranglers. The 4xe also holds its value well used, and certain units may qualify for the federal used clean vehicle tax credit. Are there any rebates or incentives for buying a used Wrangler 4xe in Ohio in 2026? The federal plug-in hybrid tax credit expired on September 30, 2025 and does not apply to purchases made in 2026. However, Ohio buyers may still access utility rebates through providers like AEP Ohio and Ohio Edison (FirstEnergy) for PHEV charging during off-peak hours. Ohio state rebate programs for plug-in vehicles have historically been available through the Ohio EPA — verify current 2026 amounts directly with your utility provider or at epa.ohio.gov. Separately, installing a Level 2 home charger may qualify for a 30% federal residential energy credit under Section 25D, which remains active in 2026.

Thinking about checking out a used Ram for sale? As one of the most trusted full-size pickups, the Ram 1500 stands out for its impressive towing and payload figures, durable frame, and dynamic engine options. What truly sets the truck apart is its wide range of available models. more Ram has done a noteworthy job of creating a trim lineup that feels anything but dull. While every Ram 1500 will always be a work truck at its core, Ram has developed numerous models over the years, each with its own distinct personality. You'll have several distinct trims to choose from when you begin shopping. Ram has made nearly a dozen trims over the last couple of decades, ranging from entry-level work options to high-end luxury variants. However, today, we're zeroing in on three trims that really stand apart: the Laramie, the Rebel, and the TRX. Only the former two are still in production; the latter stands out as refreshing and is worth taking the time to explore. Come along for the ride as we dive into these three remarkable trim options for the Ram 1500. Laramie: Luxury Meets Rugged Capability The Laramie is made for those who like the finer things in life. It's one of the Ram 1500's luxury trims, and was one of the very first trims available when Ram broke away from Dodge, becoming its own standalone nameplate in 2010. Premium Features and Seating Comfort Over the years, the Laramie has seen many improvements. However, if you look at 2019 and newer models, you'll find a selection of truly premium features. Leather-trimmed seats set the upscale stage, differentiating the Laramie from trims that came before it, which featured vinyl or cloth seats. Sliding into position for comfortable long drives is a breeze, too, thanks to a 12-way power-adjustable driver's seat found on the 2019 model year. Setting your seat angle, height, and distance from the pedals will ensure you have optimal command and visibility for your drive. Plus, it can reduce muscle fatigue and cramps. Thanks to the memory function, once you find your ideal settings, the truck will recall them each time you start the ignition—so there's no need to worry if a family member or valet makes adjustments. You'll also enjoy heated and ventilated front seats, providing optimal comfort year-round. A refreshing breeze across your back helps keep you comfortable and prevents arriving at your destination overheated. Heated functionality also makes early-morning winter drives more comfortable by reducing that initial chill. Even back seat passengers can enjoy premium comfort with the available reclining rear seats. Entertainment and Audio Need to pump your jams or entertain yourself with podcasts on your long drives? The Laramie's 10-speaker audio system, complete with a subwoofer, will flood your cabin with high-fidelity sound. So you won't struggle to hear the whisper in the audiobook or lighter instruments in your favorite songs. The Best of Both Worlds The Laramie is made for those who want to treat themselves but still need a tough, hardworking truck. It delivers upscale features without sacrificing the durability Ram trucks are known for. Rebel: Thrilling Power, Ready for Any Terrain The Rebel brings off-road performance and bold style to the Ram 1500 lineup. It's designed for those who like a thrilling behind-the-wheel feel, but also need the practical benefits of a full-size pickup. The Rebel launched in 2015 and has been a mainstay since. The foundation of this energetic truck is the 3.6L Pentastar V6 with an available HEMI V8 powertrain option. It delivers the distinctive roar that performance enthusiasts appreciate and is sure to give you a thrilling, spine-tingling experience. Previously, during the 2025 model year, Ram dropped the HEMI V8, but it has recently been brought back for the 2026 model year. If you're particularly drawn to this legendary engine, you'll need to consider 2024 or earlier models. The Rebel also features a striking twin-snorkel sports-performance hood that announces its presence with a bang. It rolls on 33-inch tires and boasts an exclusive air suspension that not only makes a statement but also enhances ground clearance and approach, departure, and breakover angles. To complete the look, the seats and steering wheel feature distinctive Rebel-style details with the nameplate badge on the glove box. Off-Road Capability True to its off-road nature, the Rebel is equipped with factory lifted, skid plates, and tow hooks. The debut of the trim brought a new line of Toyo Open Country A/T all-terrain tires to the playing field. The tire's aggressive tread pattern offers improved traction on snowy and gravel terrain. No matter what challenging terrain you tackle, this trim is up to the task—and even on paved roads, it delivers a smooth, comfortable ride. Even if you find yourself stuck, the tow hooks come in handy for a quick rescue. Meanwhile, skid plates safeguard essential components so that a few flying rocks won't slow you down. TRX: The Ultimate Performance Truck The TRX is sort of the heavy-duty version of the Rebel, taking performance perks to the next level. The TRX trim was available from 2021 through 2023 was discontinued along with its V8 engine. While the TRX is no longer offered, the V8 has returned to the lineup. However, it isn't equipped to replicate the extraordinary performance of previous years. During its short run, this off-road beast got its power from a 6.2L HEMI "Hellcat" supercharged V8 producing a heart-stopping 702 hp. For context, the Ram 1500's other engines during this period maxed out at 395 hp. The TRX reaches a top speed of 118 mph and accelerates from zero to 60 mph in just 4.5 seconds, defying the notion that trucks are slow. Ready for Any Terrain Put simply, the TRX was made to deliver track-like performance on rugged terrain. Its wider body gives it an aggressive stance and enhances stability. The 35-inch Wrangler Territory all-terrain tires can plow through sand, mud, and tricky terrain with total command. When it comes to racing in the desert in a truck, the Ram 1500 TRX is ready for the occasion. While the TRX era may be over, determined drivers can still track down this rare and powerful beast. Luxury to Adventure Ram 1500 Handles It All Ready to explore used Ram 1500s that are right for work, recreation, and relaxation? These models showcase the versatility and capability that make the Ram 1500 a standout choice. The Laramie helps melt away stress with its highly adjustable seats, equipped with a memory function that keeps your settings intact, even if coworkers or family make changes. Plus, the heating and ventilation provide year-round comfort, while a premium sound system elevates listening sessions. The Rebel adds off-road capability to the trusted truck we all know and love. It delivers the power and performance that enthusiasts expect, while a lifted suspension enhances ground clearance, and all-terrain tires provide improved traction in slippery conditions. If the Rebel isn't enough power and performance for you, the TRX might be calling your name. With its 702 hp V8, wide stance, all-terrain tires, and impressive top speed, the TRX will leave you feeling anything but bored.

Auto manufacturers have undoubtedly changed the status quo. Where, at one time, many years ago, a truck was simply built only for function above all else, today's offerings are definitely a class above. Brands like Ram have repeatedly changed the game through years of adaptation, particularly by incorporating the latest technology, upscale seating, sleek designs, and many more exciting features. more Take the used Ram 3500, for example. Years ago, professionals shopping for a used Ram for sale or a work-ready truck often settled for a basic, no-frills model. That's no longer the case, and for good reason, since modern trucks offer more capability, comfort, and options than ever before. Today's trucks, including heavy-duty models, boast beautiful designs that feature cutting-edge technology, from the cabin and infotainment systems to driver and safety assistance options. They're in a whole new league. The brute strength and power remain, now paired with luxurious, innovative engineering that redefines what it means to drive a true workhorse. Don't just take our word for it; a closer look at the Ram 3500 is all that's needed to understand what it has to offer. Here are a few reasons why a used Ram 3500 heavy-duty truck is the smart choice for your next powerful, work-ready vehicle. Why the Ram 3500 Stands Above the Rest The Ram 3500 is the ultimate versatile truck for work and play. It's heavy-duty, with everything in power and performance cranked up to maximum volume, including impressive towing capabilities, ample cargo space, and a spacious cabin. With multiple cab configurations, you're climbing into one of the most luxurious driving experiences on the market. With multiple trims offering their own unique style and high-quality materials that adorn the interior, you can get a used Ram that features ventilated leather seating, a matching steering wheel with beautifully wrapped leather that feels comfortable in the hands, and wood detailing that truly elevates the space. What makes a used Ram 3500 especially appealing is that you get all of this capability at a fraction of the original cost. You can even pursue premium, high-end trims and models at a more accessible price, and that brings us to depreciation—one of the biggest advantages of buying used. As the initial value drop has already occurred, you get more truck, more features, and more capability for your investment. A used Ram 3500 has been offering the same trims with more updated features and capabilities with each passing model year. Tradesman, Big Horn, and Laramie trims are for the practical-minded, offering minimalist exterior designs, excellent performance and power packages, and accessible pricing options. Meanwhile, Limited and Laramie Longhorn kick things up a notch, delivering a truly premium and classy experience with an upscale cabin, more comfortable seating, and a large, center touchscreen display. With options available, you're sure to find a pre-owned Ram that suits your driving style perfectly. Save Smart: Buy Used and Keep More Value When you buy a brand-new vehicle, the moment you drive it off the lot, it begins to depreciate. It's the nature of new vehicles, as their market value depreciates significantly within the first few years of ownership. While this is often offset through extended use and long-term ownership, depreciation still plays a role when it comes time to trade in or resell, directly affecting the return on your investment. However, by purchasing a used vehicle, much of this initial depreciation has already occurred, making a pre-owned vehicle a smart choice. Ram trucks are built to last, and the brand has built its reputation on delivering reliable and capable pickups born to last the long haul. Model years within the last five years strike an ideal balance between modern capability and value, making them a fantastic long-term investment. Additionally, if you're upgrading from an older truck model year, you'll still benefit from the advanced technology and a significantly improved interior and exterior design. The added benefit of shopping pre-owned is having more room within your budget to browse luxury trims at a lower price point compared to a new model. Award-Winning Heritage and Enduring Excellence The Ram Trucks brand has only been around since 2009; however, the trucks themselves have been in production since the early 1980s. Originally a part of the Dodge Ram family, it wasn't until 2010 that the rucks became a fully independent spin-off from Dodge. Ever since they first appeared, they've been synonymous with power, longevity, and high praise. Now Ram has secured many awards and accolades from J.D. Power, with Ram named the top brand for 2024 initial quality. It also received two Champion Lotus Sales awards in 2024, as well as MotorTrend's 2020 Truck of the Year, among others, across various years and models. Highlighting the brand's dedication to its legacy year after year, Ram models continue to be solid investments in a company with an exceptional reputation, offering the pinnacle of modern engineering in powerful and heavy-duty trucks. Buying a used Ram 3500 demonstrates confidence in the brand's proven durability and delivers the pride that comes with owning an American truck built to withstand the test of time. It's the benefits of investing in a solid brand and its trucks that make the difference, especially on the jobsite or when you're hauling the tough loads. Next-Level Heavy-Duty Workhorse While buying a new truck offers the very latest technology, a used Ram 3500 still delivers advanced features that remain highly relevant. Thanks to Ram's continual innovation year after year, even recently used models feel thoroughly modern. From late models to the newest launches, you're getting some fantastic features and technology. Under the hood, the Ram 3500 truly shines, offering impressive engine options to suit every work and performance need. Take a model from 2024, offering three engine options: a 6.4-liter HEMI V8, a 6.7-liter Cummins turbo-diesel I-6, and a 6.7-liter Cummins high-output turbo-diesel I-6, all of which are fantastic powertrains designed to make any challenging task seamless.

Many aspects of the SUV class have undergone significant changes since the boom period began in the early 2000s. Enhancements such as infotainment systems, scaled-down designs, and advanced driving assistance features are now the norm. However, one thing that hasn't changed is the overall appeal SUVs have for families. more Families love SUVs for their cargo space and comfortable seating. They also love having features that provide safety and entertainment for younger and shorter passengers. A used Jeep for sale is considered the standard for families seeking an SUV that offers more than the competition. Of the many models Jeep builds, the Grand Cherokee L is the ideal choice for the full-sized family. It offers families the practical features they seek in an SUV, including three rows of seating and ample cargo space. Jeep's three-row SUV is also equipped with advanced technologies that provide connectivity, safety, and performance, allowing for road trips to take place in a multitude of locations. Today, we're examining the family-friendly aspects of the Jeep Grand Cherokee L. We'll thoroughly explore the practical and technological features that make the three-row SUV the ideal choice for modern families. We'll even look at the performance that gives family-oriented drivers the chance to take a road trip wherever they like. A Practical and Spacious Interior Large and growing families need transportation that can accommodate passengers and cargo. For this reason, many family-oriented commuters have continually looked to the SUV class as their primary mode of transportation. A used Jeep Grand Cherokee L can provide you with ample space. Whether you're going to the grocery store or taking a trip through the woods to Grandma's house, you'll have the space you need. The most attractive and practical feature of any three-row SUV is the ability to carry more passengers. The Grand Cherokee L has two distinctive seating arrangements. Most models come with second-row captain's chairs for a more luxurious feeling. The captain's chairs, along with an additional third row, comfortably accommodate six passengers. However, some families need more room than six seats. Some Grand Cherokee L models feature a second-row bench seat, accommodating up to seven passengers. Regardless of the seating arrangement you choose, everyone has the chance to be comfortable. Jeep's available quad-zone climate control allows each row to set its own individual temperature. In addition to its multiple seating arrangements, the Grand Cherokee L also provides drivers with ample cargo space. When all three rows of seating are occupied, 17.2 cu.ft. of room can be used for luggage, groceries, and other items. If you need a little more room, the third row can be folded to unlock over 46.9 cu.ft. Finally, for those days when storage takes precedence, Jeep's SUV can hold over 84 cu.ft. of room behind the first row. Depending on the trim you choose, the Grand Cherokee L can offer either a practical or a more refined interior. With available higher trims, such as the Summit, featuring comfortable upholstery and luxury-appointed amenities, you're sure to find a vehicle that makes every trip sophisticated and enjoyable. Performance for the Family Who Likes Getting Away From It All Two types of drivers tend to gravitate towards the SUV class. The first are families who love having plenty of seating and storage made available to them. The second are off-roaders who enjoy 4WD and a design meant to facilitate adventure. The Jeep Grand Cherokee L is built for both individuals. For families who love to get away from it all, the SUV offers available 4WD or RWD, depending on the trim, paired with a powertrain that strikes a balance between strong performance and efficient fuel economy. Most Grand Cherokee L models are equipped with a 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine. The V6 produces up to 293 hp and has a towing capacity of 6,200 lbs. It's an ideal choice for families who enjoy recreational activities such as camping. Even if you're a family that spends most of its time in the city, the V6 can still offer remarkable fuel economy. A 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L with RWD can achieve 19 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway for a combined 21 MPG. These figures are impressive for any three-row SUV with a V6 powertrain. Whether your adventures take place in the city or off the pavement, a used Jeep Grand Cherokee L is an ideal choice. With recreational capabilities and conservative fuel consumption, it provides the modern family with the type of performance they need. Keeping the Family Connected The modern family has access to a wide range of apps and technologies. In addition to offering families a spacious interior with ample cargo room, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L also keeps them connected. With an intuitive infotainment system and available stereo upgrades, Jeep finds a way to satisfy the needs of the modern driver. Most Grand Cherokee L trims come standard with an 8.4-inch infotainment screen, while higher trims offer an available 10.1-inch screen. The screen is powered by Uconnect 5, an advanced software system designed to keep drivers connected. The screen features wireless connectivity to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and select trims are equipped with wireless charging. An advanced navigation system from TomTom makes navigating any family road trip easy. The advantages of infotainment aren't limited to the 10.1-inch touchscreen. The three-row SUV can be outfitted with a class-exclusive passenger touchscreen. The additional 10.25-inch screen turns the front passenger into a copilot. It allows the front passenger to access the vehicle's navigation system and also stream audio and video. Select trims have a second-row screen that streams Amazon Fire TV, perfect for keeping younger passengers entertained on long road trips. Enjoying concert-quality audio on your next family road trip is also possible. The upper trims of the Grand Cherokee L come with a 19-speaker stereo system, featuring a 17-channel amplifier that delivers up to 950 watts. The Jeep Grand Cherokee L is the ideal choice for the modern tech-savvy family. With features that inform, entertain, and provide expert navigation, you'll never be lost or bored again. Peace of Mind Through Driving Assistance Features Families tend to have distinct priorities when it comes to the vehicles they drive. As we've seen, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L offers seating, storage, and technology that keep drivers connected. However, the family-commuter will always make safety their top priority when selecting a vehicle. Jeep is a brand known for its technological innovation. The desire to develop and innovate extends to the SUVs' many driving assistance features. The Jeep Grand Cherokee L comes with numerous standard features that provide protection and oversight. Many families are concerned with visibility, particularly those who live in residential areas. Features like Blind Spot Monitoring and Rear Cross Path Detection provide oversight of your surroundings. Jeep's Active Lane Management is crucial for maintaining a correct lane position and can provide corrective steering if you start to drift out of it. The first line of defense in defensive driving is maintaining a good reaction time. Thanks to features like Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning, you'll be alerted in the event of a potential accident. Many Grand Cherokee L models also come with Adaptive Cruise Control, which adjusts your speed in conjunction with traffic patterns. Both of these items will give you time to enact evasive maneuvers when the unexpected occurs. Safety is a concern for many drivers and always takes precedence over family. The many features included on the Grand Cherokee L make it an ideal option for any family concerned with safe transportation. The Jeep Grand Cherokee L Design for Family Life If you're looking for family-friendly transportation, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L is the ideal option. With its spacious interior and intuitive technology, families can enjoy comfort while having access to entertainment for the road ahead. Thanks to a host of safety features and an economical powertrain, families can go farther while having peace of mind. If you're ready for an SUV that surpasses expectations, consider taking a trip to McHugh Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT. We have a variety of models available at our location and can help you select the right trim that suits your needs and those of your family.

The Jeep Wrangler has long been a leader in the SUV segment, building on the legacy of the original military-spec Willys MB and paving the way for a new era of off-road models. Known for its go-anywhere attitude, robust selection of advanced 4x4 systems, and unmistakable styling that includes a removable roof and doors, the iconic Jeep has wrangled its way into the hearts and minds of adventurous drivers for almost 40 years. more That said, the original Wrangler did have one downside that limited its appeal among those seeking a sensible daily driver: its two-door design. While the approach allows the midsize model to navigate tight off-road terrain effectively, the lack of rear doors made the Wrangler a tough sell for busy families or buyers looking to maximize comfort and cargo capacity. Jeep addressed this issue in 2007 with the introduction of the Wrangler Unlimited, a new four-door model featuring an extended wheelbase that added a second set of doors while more than doubling the SUV's cargo-carrying capacity. The Unlimited significantly enhances the Wrangler's appeal for a specific set of drivers, enabling Jeep to experiment with ambitious trims that are not available on the two-door model. If you're in the market for a used Jeep for sale, but need a vehicle that balances off-road appeal with everyday practicality, the Wrangler Unlimited is hard to ignore. Jeep officially phased out the Unlimited name as a distinct badge after the 2022 model year. However, we still have a wide selection of high-quality pre-owned Wrangler Unlimiteds to choose from here at McHugh Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT. Join us as we cover some of the highlights and learn how the four-door Wrangler differs from the two-door model in a few important categories. Extra Cargo and Passenger Space We'll start with the most obvious benefit of the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited: improved cargo and passenger space. The two-door Wrangler can comfortably accommodate up to four passengers, while the four-door Unlimited models add an extra rear seat to fit five. However, this extra room provided by the four-door design does significantly enhance the comfort factor. Firstly, passengers won't have to squeeze past the first-row seats to access the back row, which can make the Unlimited a much more practical choice for those trying to accommodate a car seat, older riders, or those with limited mobility. Once passengers find their way to the back seat, they'll also enjoy a more spacious experience, with the Wrangler Unlimited offering as much as 38.3 inches of rear legroom. That's almost a 3.0-inch improvement over the standard model, making the SUV the logical choice for extended road trips or other scenarios where long-term comfort is a key factor. This extra space might come as a surprise, given that the two- and four-door Wrangler actually boast the same passenger volume at 104 cu.ft., but it's the way the space is used that really makes the Unlimited such an alluring option. Second, there's the improved cargo space. Extending the Wrangler's wheelbase by 20 inches provides drivers with significantly more space to work with and a smoother ride. The Wrangler is actually on the smaller end of the midsize spectrum, but the Unlimited allows the SUV to better compete with some of the segment's larger models, offering up to 72.4 cu.ft. of cargo space. The two-door version maxes out at 31.7 cu.ft., which means that the Unlimited offers more than double the space while still retaining the raw Wrangler attitude that has long drawn buyers to the Jeep. The four-door design perfectly complements the Wrangler's adventurous ethos, allowing drivers to bring along all the gear they might need for a weekend of hiking, biking, or exploring unique, off-the-grid locales. That's not to say that the two-door Wrangler isn't a legend in its own right, but the Unlimited model allows the SUV to play pack mule without the need for added storage solutions, such as roof racks, bike racks, and utility trailers. Unbeatable Towing While the Wrangler Unlimited's longer wheelbase and four-door design enhance the SUV's appeal as an adventure-ready family vehicle, these qualities also offer a significant advantage in terms of towing. The standard two-door model can pull up to 2,000 lbs when properly equipped, but the Unlimited ups that figure by 75% to turn the Wrangler into a lean, mean towing machine. The four-door Wrangler boasts a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 lbs, which is perfect for smaller campers, boats, and trailers that can be used to haul powersports equipment like ATVs and dirt bikes. The Unlimited's extended wheelbase may only make the four-door model 21.6 inches longer than the standard Wrangler, but it substantially enhances several of the SUV's most important towing-related attributes. For example, the extended wheelbase boosts the Wrangler's stability and control by offering better counterbalance. The larger build means that the Unlimited weighs more than the two-door Jeep. While this sort of extra heft often results in a vehicle shedding some of its towing capacity, the four-door model's rugged, fully boxed frame actually improves the SUV's towing ability. Best of all, drivers won't have to upgrade to one of the Wrangler's upper engines to enjoy the full 3,500-lb towing capacity. Every mill—from the entry-level 3.6-liter V6 and 3.6-liter Pentastar mild-hybrid engines to the 3.0-liter turbo-diesel V6, the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) 4xe model, and the rest of the six engine configurations introduced in 2021—can tow 3,500 lbs, giving drivers plenty of options when shopping for a pre-owned Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. If you want to get the most out of your Wrangler Unlimited, it's essential to find a pre-owned model equipped with the available trailer towing packages. The package typically includes essential gear, such as a Class II receiver hitch, auxiliary switches, and a seven and four-pin wiring harness. Exclusive Trims In addition to improving the Wrangler's towing ability, cargo, and passenger capacity, the Unlimited also allows drivers to access certain trims that aren't compatible with the two-door model—looking for a more comfortable, stylish way to enjoy life behind the wheel of a Jeep Wrangler? The Sahara turns up the heat with a long list of standard goodies that range from 18-inch wheels and a body-colored grille and fender flares to an automatic climate control system, remote keyless entry, and more. Sahara Trim The 2022 model features an 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment display that improves on the standard 7.0-inch design and adds an integrated GPS navigation system, giving you one less thing to worry about when you hit the road. The Sahara trim also sees a substantial improvement to the Jeep's off-road arsenal thanks to its Selec-Trac full-time 4WD system. Ideal for drivers who enjoy both on- and off-road driving, Selec-Trac seamlessly switches between 2WD and 4WD modes when it detects slippage or loss of traction. This no-muss, no-fuss approach enhances the Wrangler's safety resume and is sure to prove useful when harsh winter weather hits east-central Ohio. Rubicon 392 Trim Then there's the ready-made off-road rig, the Wrangler Rubicon 392 that joined the lineup in 2021. Introduced in the early 2000s, the standard Jeep Rubicon trim takes the already-capable Wrangler and transforms it into a no-holds-barred off-road champion, complete with all the gear needed to tackle some of the toughest conditions Mother Nature has to offer. The standard Rubicon can be optioned in both two- and four-door formats, and does the name proud with its electronic locking front and rear differentials, electronic disconnecting front stabilizer bar, and a set of heavy-duty front and rear axles with a shorter 4:1 gear ratio. Still, if you want to experience the Wrangler's ultimate guise, the Rubicon 392 is ready to roll. Under the hood, you'll find a 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine, which equips the Rubicon 392 with an off-road arsenal that puts the rest of the segment to shame. From a 2.0-inch suspension lift and high-performance brakes to rugged Fox shock absorbers and the Selec-Trac 4x4 system, the Rubicon 392 offers a winning combination of off-road ability and everyday luxury. The range-topping model comes standard with genuine leather upholstery, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, an Alpine premium audio system, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) including blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision mitigation. The Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 392 is even able to pull off that classic Jeep trick with a standard three-piece removable hardtop that can be used to provide an open-air experience or effectively shield you from the elements, depending on the prevailing weather conditions. Go Unlimited at McHugh Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT There are no limits to the sort of fun you can have behind the wheel of the four-door Jeep Wrangler. From local off-road trails to desert scrubland, summer beach parties to slope-side chalets, the Wrangler Unlimited is your ticket to adventure. The SUV's extended wheelbase improves cargo and passenger space, showing how the Wrangler has matured over the years. The Unlimited isn't afraid to put in the work, offering up to 3,500 lbs of towing capacity—so drivers won't have to make tough decisions about which gear to bring on their next weekend adventure. Throw in the ability to access exclusive trims like the Sahara and Rubicon 392, and it's easy to understand why the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited has proved so popular over the last two decades. Ready to experience the supersize Jeep for yourself? You'll find your pre-owned Wrangler Unlimited here at McHugh Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT.

Off-road SUVs have become all the rage lately, but there are a few significant differences between the Jeep Wrangler and your average adventure rig. While other brands tend to roll out off-road-focused trim packages for their existing models, Jeep has taken a decidedly different approach to the Wrangler. The midsize Wrangler isn’t some average SUV masquerading as an off-road option. It’s meticulously crafted to tackle some of the toughest conditions your local trails can throw at it, with a purpose-built design that allows every trim to succeed on the road less traveled. From its impressive lineup of available four-wheel drive systems to its solid axle suspension and body-on-frame construction, there are many reasons to seek out a Jeep Wrangler for sale when hunting for your next off-road SUV. Let's dive into the details and learn why the Jeep Wrangler has long been the SUV against which all other off-road models are judged. more Command-Trac, Selec-Trac, and Rock-Trac 4X4 Drivers might get caught up in comparing different styling packages, optional accessories, and comfort and convenience features, but an off-road SUV is only as good as its 4x4 system. Two-wheel drive is a non-starter if you hope to prevail through the mud, ruts, and rocks that come with off-road driving. But just because an SUV has 4WD doesn’t mean that it’s ready for every worst-case scenario you might encounter out on the trail. Luckily, Jeep hasn’t treated its 4X4 systems as an afterthought, providing the Wrangler with three distinct offerings that allow the SUV to serve as a reliable daily driver, mixed-use maestro, or dedicated off-road machine. It all starts with Command-Trac, a part-time 4X4 system offering a balanced experience that seamlessly blends performance with efficiency and affordability. Command-Trac is equipped with four different settings that allow the SUV to adapt to varying conditions, from a 2WD High (2H) function that shifts all power to the rear wheels to maximize efficiency to a 4WD High (4H) feature that motivates all four wheels and maximizes traction by locking the front and rear driveshafts together. Command-Trac enables drivers to swap between 2H and 4H on the fly at speeds up to 55 mph. Standard on the Wrangler’s Sport and Willys trims, Command-Trac also includes a neutral setting designed for towing, and a 4WD Low (4L) mode that engages a low-range 2.72:1 gear ratio that’s perfect for slowly clawing through challenging trails and steep hills. Selec-Trac represents a satisfying middle ground that maximizes off-road performance while still providing plenty of convenience as you go about your daily drive. The full-time 4WD system can be found on the Wrangler’s Sahara trim or added as an optional extra for the Sport S model. Selec-Trac offers the same 2H, Neutral, and 4L settings as Command-Trac, but ups the ante with two additional 4WD options. 4WD Auto quickly directs power where it’s needed the most, thanks to a center differential. This approach allows drivers to focus on the task at hand without the distractions that can come with constantly shifting between different 4WD settings. It is suitable for use on all surfaces, including paved roads. 4WD High Part-Time is the same as Command-Trac’s 4WD High setting, locking the axles to improve your chances of success when encountering a tough stretch of trail. Unlike 4WD Auto, it shouldn’t be engaged when navigating paved surfaces. Finally, there’s Rock-Trac. Limited to the Wrangler’s range-topping Rubicon and Rubicon X trims, Rock-Trac 4X4 is made of sterner stuff and designed with all the heavy-duty gear you’ll need to scale a sheer rock wall or pick your way between massive boulders. From 4:1 low-range gearing and Tru-Lok electronic locking differentials front and rear to an electronic sway bar disconnect and a heavy-duty transfer case, Rock-Trac turns the already-capable Wrangler into the apex predator of the off-road world. The Wrangler’s Rock-Trac system has two versions: a standard part-time design, and an optional full-time upgrade that adds a road-friendly 4-Hi Auto mode with a center differential. Slow and steady wins the race, and it’s always a good approach when trying to conquer technical off-road obstacles. Rock-Trac’s 4WD Low with a 4:1 low-range gear ratio slows the wheels and ups the torque to power the Wrangler to greatness. The electronic front sway-bar disconnect improves the SUV’s articulation for maximum traction. The system also includes 2WD Hi, 4H, Neutral, and 4L modes, but it might not be the best option if you’re the type of driver who rarely ventures off the beaten path. Solid Axles Jeep has teamed up with the automotive experts at Dana to outfit the Wrangler with some of the industry’s best axles, with even the SUV’s base Sport trim boasting Dana 30 front axles and Dana 35 rear axles. Known for their durability and generous aftermarket support, Dana axles can be found on many of the market’s best off-road models, and they make a huge difference in the Wrangler. Solid axles are made of sterner stuff than your average independent suspension, with fewer moving parts that can become damaged as you go about your journey. They can also accommodate larger tires and lower gearing, which makes them particularly well-suited to heavy-duty off-road tasks like rock crawling. The Sport trim can even be equipped with Dana’s premium 44 axles when adding the optional Trac-Lok limited-slip differential with the 3.73:1  gear ratio. The other major benefit of a solid axle suspension comes down to articulation. The independent suspension in most modern SUVs sees each wheel paired with its own suspension system. This approach offers some benefits in handling and comfort, but it’s not ideal when the going gets rough. A solid axle, like the ones found in the Jeep Wrangler, connects two wheels with a rigid beam that basically acts like a see-saw. When a boulder, log, or other common off-road obstacle forces one wheel up, the wheel on the axle's opposite side is forced down to maintain contact with the road. No matter how aggressive your off-road tires might be, they won’t gain any traction unless they touch the ground. A solid axle ensures you’re always maximizing contact as you tear through tough terrain. Body-on-Frame Construction Today’s SUVs aren’t created equal. The segment is easily one of the industry's most diverse, from luxury rides to budget models and compact SUVs to three-row behemoths. A model designed to serve as a daily driver won’t get you too far when the going gets rough, while an off-road model might provide a harsh, overpowered ride for those who prioritize comfort and efficiency. There are a lot of factors you’ll want to keep in mind when shopping for your next off-road SUV, but few are quite as important as choosing between the body-on-frame and crossover construction method. In the past, most SUVs were designed using the same body-on-frame construction method as most pickups. A body-on-frame vehicle sees the body bolted to a separate chassis, which offers some substantial benefits in terms of durability, towing, and repair costs. This approach worked well for decades, but the mid-1990s saw a new contender enter the field through crossover construction. A crossover SUV employs the same construction method used by most cars with a unibody design, which sees the body and chassis fused into a single component. Crossovers provide improved efficiency, a lower center of gravity, and increased comfort compared to their body-on-frame forerunners, which helped fuel unprecedented growth in the SUV segment. The problem is that a unibody design isn’t really geared to off-road applications. A crossover SUV can’t handle the extreme twisting forces of rugged off-road use. It can even become irreparably damaged if the torsion becomes too much. Crossover models are also more difficult to repair and modify when compared to body-on-frame SUVs, and don’t offer the same level of underbody protection. Jeep has long championed the body-on-frame method, and this decision has paid dividends when it comes to the Wrangler’s off-road reputation. The SUV’s body-on-frame construction allows the Wrangler to take a licking and keep on ticking while opening the door to some feats of towing and hauling strength. The body-on-frame SUV is also much easier to modify and lift, which is particularly important in a Jeep community where aftermarket upgrades are all part of the fun. A unibody SUV might also be totaled after a relatively minor collision, but the Wrangler’s body and frame can be independently repaired should the worst come to pass. Wrangle a New Off-Road SUV at McHugh Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram FIAT While they might represent a few compelling points, the Jeep’s 4x4 systems, solid axles, and body-on-frame design aren’t the only three reasons to consider the Wrangler when you set out to find your next off-road ride. The Wrangler also offers the best approach, departure, and breakover angles in the midsize segment, which can make a huge difference when trying to clear obstacles or summit steep grades. These generous angles allow the Wrangler to tackle rugged terrain without worrying about incurring expensive underbody damage by giving the front and rear bumpers and the underbody a wide berth. If you really want an extra boost of confidence, consider seeking out one of the SUV’s Rubicon trims, which sees the Jeep graced with 33-inch tires and up to 10.8 inches of ground clearance (or 12.9 inches when investing in the optional Xtreme 35 package). No matter which model you choose, you’ll never lack off-road ability when you’re behind the wheel of the Jeep Wrangler.
