FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV) and PSA (Peugeot SA) are set to merge into Stellantis, creating one company out of American Chrysler, Italian Fiat and Alfa Romeo and Maserati, French Peugeot and Citroën, and German-American Opel. Most Americans haven’t seen a Peugeot in many years, and only see Citroëns in movies if at all. So […]
A little over a week ago, three versions of the new Ford Bronco were unveiled to compete with other Jeep vehicles such as the Wrangler. However, Jeep may have a trick up their sleeves to make sure their prized SUV is fresh and competitive with the Bronco. Mopar Insiders has posted spy shots of what […]
We all knew this would happen sooner or later: in Canada, because Pacifica and Voyager sales have remained pitiful, the cheap version of the Pacifica has had a name change from “Voyager” to “Grand Caravan.” (Not Caravan, but Grand Caravan.) Chrysler Voyager and Canadian Grand Caravan look so similar, we are not even bothering to […]
Months after the finalization of the PSA and FCA merger back in December of 2019, Stellantis is the new, post-merger name. The new name will go into effect in the first quarter of 2021 and stems from the Latin verb “stello” meaning “to brighten with stars.” Chrysler does have a past connection with stars. In […]
Jeep posted a picture on Twitter of what appears to be a Wrangler or Gladiator with a 392 badge on the hood. In FCA lingo, the 392 is the 6.4 Hemi which boasts different power levels for different applications. For example, the Ram HD equipped with the 6.4 Hemi makes 410 horsepower and 429 lb-ft […]
FCA is recalling roughly one million 2008-2010 minivans and 2007-2011 Dodge Nitros, starting next month, because clips and steering-wheel logos could come loose and “act as projectiles” when the airbag deploys. There have been at least 14 possibly related injuries, all affecting the drivers. The type of clip used in these cars is not in […]
The Jeep Gladiator is a serious off-road pickup, providing fine towing capacity but only a short bed; length was sacrificed for off-road capability. Until now, though, there was no torque-monster engine, responsive from idle, to match the old 4-liter straight-six. What’s more, those looking at Chevy Colorados, Toyota Tacomas, and Ford Rangers may have been […]
It appears even police officers want to get in on the Dodge performance fun, with a video surfacing that appears to show deputies drag racing their patrol cars at a North Texas drag strip. The video, posted to YouTube by WFAA, shows the incident taking place publicly. Although no details about the powertrains are available, […]
We know who gained and lost the most in second-quarter sales, but what about the smaller races to see who won in particular segments—like muscle cars and pickups? The Dodge Challenger may have dropped quite a bit in the first half of the year, but its final tally of 22,018 sales from January through June […]
Instagram user “torq.offroad” posted what appears to be the 2021 Ram TRX. At first glance, we thought it was just a Rebel with bigger tires but that is far from it. From the picture, we can see the massive tires, bigger fenders, a wider track, and a beefed-up suspension. We can also see some additional […]
