The Wrangler is one of the most iconic and instantly-recognizable vehicles in history, and for good reason. It’s rugged, functional, and infused with the spirit of adventure. Jeep has been improving on this classic for a while, and this year is no exception. If you’re interested in the 2023 Jeep Wrangler, here’s a round-up of everything new with the quintessential SUV. View our inventory of New Vehicles, or if you have any questions, give us a call at (539)-766-8990 today!

2023 Jeep Wrangler Trims and Pricing

2023 Jeep Wrangler Image By Jeep

Like with many vehicles this year, the prices for the Jeep Wrangler are going up in 2023. Some of the trims for the Wrangler include the Sport, Willys Sport, Sport S, Willys, Sport Altitude, Sahara, Rubicon, Sahara Altitude, High Altitude, and Rubicon 392. The Sport trim is the entry-level trim for the Wrangler, and it had a starting MSRP in 2022 of $29,995. For 2023, the Sport’s starting MSRP is $31,195. Luckily for Wrangler lovers, this isn’t as steep a price raise as some other vehicles have seen from 2022 to 2023.

The Sahara is the mid-tiered trim for the Wrangler, and it went from a starting MSRP of $42,545 in 2022 to a new starting MSRP of $45,625 in 2023. The highest trim for the Wrangler is the Rubicon 392, which went from $79,990 to $82,495. These price raises are pretty consistent across trims and reflect the overall changes in the economy and inflation.

Freedom Edition

The Freedom Edition is a new feature for the Wrangler in 2023, allowing drivers to show their pride and honor while supporting military charities. The Freedom Edition has a starting MSRP of $37,690 and has a suite of features that pay tribute to those who serve in the United States Armed Forces. You can find Freedom Decals on the front fender that show a black and white American flag above the Jeep Wrangler print. A unique Oscar Mike badge on the rear of the Wrangler is also a nod to the troops, as “Oscar Mike” is a term that military members can use to mean “on the move.”

The Freedom Edition comes with LED headlamps and fog lighting to help you illuminate the road no matter the conditions and rugged black aluminum wheels to tackle every terrain. The interior is fitted with black leather-trimmed seats that also feature the Oscar Mike symbol. There are two bucket seats in the front that are fully adjustable. The Freedom Edition comes in colors including Black Clear Coat, Bright White Clear Coat, Earl Clear Coat, Firecracker Red Clear Coat, High Velocity Clear Coat, Hydro Blue Pearl Coat, Sarge Green Clear Coat, Silver Zynith Clear Coat, Sting-Gray Clear Coat, and Limited Edition Reign.

EcoDiesel Engine

Jeep announced this year that it would be phasing out diesel engines for the Wrangler line. The 3.0-liter EcoDiesel Engine for the Wrangler was one of the most powerful options you could choose, with up to 260 horsepower, 442 lb-ft of torque, and a maximum towing capacity of up to 3,500 lbs. Though Jeep has decided to end the production of diesel-powered Wranglers, the company decided to commemorate the diesel engines with a final special edition to celebrate the power and capability.

The 2023 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon FarOut special edition model is the final in the EcoDiesel production. It features elements throughout the design that pay tribute to the line, including a Diesel 3.0-liter hood design, special wheels, and diesel badges. The EcoDiesel engine was only available in the Wrangler from 2020 to now, but many Wrangler fans are sad to see it go. If you want a diesel-powered Wrangler, now is the time to grab one before they’re gone.

With the EcoDiesel engine out of the lineup, that leaves just four engines for the Wrangler going forward. This includes the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine, which offers up to 285 horsepower, 260 lb-ft of torque, and a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 lbs. The Pentastar engine with an automatic transmission gets a combined 24 miles per gallon. There’s also the 2.0-liter Turbo engine, which offers up to 270 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, with the same towing capacity and fuel economy rating as the Pentastar.

The 6.4 HEMI V-8 engine is a powerful option for the Wrangler, ramping it up to 470 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. What you gain in power, you lose in fuel economy, bringing the miles per gallon down to 17 combined.

Finally, there’s the newest engine in the lineup, the PHEV 2.0-liter I-4 DOHC Turbo engine, which is the hybrid option for the Jeep Wrangler. This engine offers up to 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. This engine offers much higher torque than the V-6 and Turbo engines and also excels in fuel economy by offering up to 49 miles per gallon combined. It’s a great choice for the Wrangler lover who wants to be more friendly to the environment and avoid paying so much at the pump.

2023 Jeep Wrangler New Colors

This year, Jeep announced two new colors for the Wrangler, including Earl and Reign. Earl is a soft blue-gray color that would be perfect for anybody who wanted a more low-key Wrangler. Reign, on the other hand, takes the Wrangler in the opposite direction. It’s a bright purple that’s sure to draw attention as you drive past. You can get your 2023 Jeep Wrangler in colors including Black Clear Coat, Sting-Gray Clear Coat, Silver Zynith Clear-Coat, Earl Clear-Coat, Hydro Blue Pearl-Coat, Firecracker Red Clear-Coat, Punk’n Metallic Clear-Coat, High Velocity Clear-Coat, Sarge Green Clear-Coat, and Bright White Clear-Coat.

2023 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Wheels

The Rubicon is a popular trim for the Wrangler because it blends functionality and affordability. The Rubicon trim is also capable of withstanding the most brutal beating from conditions like snow, sleet, wind, rain, and sand. This year, Jeep made some minor changes to the wheel design options for the Rubicon, adding a red Willys logo to the center of the wheel.

We hope this guide has helped you learn about all the changes Jeep has made to the 2023 Jeep Wrangler.

For car lovers, there’s nothing more exciting than a fresh new ride hitting the market. And if you’re really interested in all the new things that your favorite vehicle companies are cooking up, concept vehicles, like the Jeep Wrangler Magneto EV, are a great way to preview what’s next. At Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT, we want you to stay informed about all the latest and greatest in the vehicle game and what this could mean for drivers everywhere. Read on to learn more about this unique Jeep concept vehicle and what exactly makes it so special. View our inventory of New Vehicles, or if you have any questions, give us a call at (539)-766-8990 today!

What’s a Concept Vehicle?

A concept vehicle is a unique, limited-edition vehicle that manufacturers can create to show off new ideas for the future of their vehicle design. These rides are so unique, in fact, that they’re produced in a one-off way to demonstrate new materials, bodywork concepts, or technology that fans may see in the future. In other words, you’re unlikely to ever drive a concept vehicle, but you might see one at your next auto show.

Just because a concept vehicle may not ever hit mass production doesn’t mean that you should write it off. By learning more about your favorite manufacturers’ concepts, you can get a better idea of what you might see on the road in the future. What are they prioritizing? Which ideas do you see popping up again and again? When it comes to vehicle design, innovation always starts somewhere. For Jeep, it’s with the Magneto EV.

What’s the Wrangler Magneto EV Concept?

Jeep Wrangler Magneto EV Concept

The Jeep Magneto EV Concept is an all-electric take on the brand’s popular Wrangler vehicle. Released at the 56th Annual Moab Easter Jeep Safari, this concept machine is actually a new and improved version of the previous Magneto concept from 2021. While the previous version of this electric off-roader was impressive, with power enough to rival the gas engine Wrangler’s performance and ability, the 2.0 is even more exciting. If you’re ready to see the potential of electric like you’ve never seen before, you’ll love this vehicle.

Performance Specifications

Jeep’s Magneto 2.0 comes with some incredible power. The vehicle features an 800-volt battery, which allows this SUV to produce 625 horsepower and 850 pound-feet of torque. With the ride’s advanced power system, it can hold this peak amperage for up to 10 seconds. Thanks to this system, the new Magneto can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in two seconds.

And to top it all off, the Magneto manages to do all of this while maintaining the Wrangler’s fun-to-drive six-speed manual gearbox. Traditionally paired with your typical gas engine, this manual transmission is a big step for EV kind. While this feature may or may not make it all the way to the drivable version of this ride, it’s interesting to see that this is what Jeep is thinking about for the future. Fun, drivable and sustainable, the future of electric cars seems to be bright.

A Fresh Look

To manage all this power, Jeep had to build a monster of a machine. And that’s just what they did. To start, Jeep added 12 inches to the ride’s wheelbase, helping it look something like LJ Wranglers of the past. The upgrade also boosts the vehicle’s ability to maneuver around large obstacles, which is essential for off-road adventures.

You can also gaze in wonder at the dynamic new front and rear axles, 20-inch wheels, and 40-inch tires. Not to mention the custom driveshaft and off-road suspension.  All of this is topped off with an eye-catching coat of surf-blue paint and the classic Jeep no-door, no-roof style. Whether you see this ride at the show or on the road, you know you’re looking at something special.

Range Rating

The newly imagined Magneto concept comes with an impressive 124-miles range on its battery. While this may not be as jaw-dropping as the ride’s horsepower rating, it’s a good sign that Jeep is able to put the two together for a vehicle that can conquer any terrain while maintaining its charge. Although this Magneto isn’t intended for the everyday driver (yet), look for Jeep to capitalize on current electric battery advancements to keep you on the road for longer.

Unique Features

Besides its power, drive, and range, the Wrangler Magneto has a few other features for you to get excited about. Surprisingly, with all its battery packs and powerful components, the Magneto is comfortable and stylish, too, with improved rear passenger legroom and that striking blue from its exterior making its way inside. There’s also an electronically controlled traction-management system and efficient power-regeneration system to make every aspect of this vehicle’s performance as impressive as possible.

Why Should You Get Excited About This New Ride?

The Wrangler Magneto EV offers a glimpse into the future, helping you discover the types of vehicles that may be driving alongside you when you’re cruising down the highway years from now. If you like to veer off the path when you’re behind the wheel, then the Magneto shows you what can happen when an electric motor and a manual transmission come together and overcome any obstacles in the vehicle’s path.

Once the concept becomes a reality, your journey up a steep hill or through uneven terrain will never feel more seamless. You can also rely on the Jeep’s power to always go that extra mile. The Magneto is a reminder to brace yourself for how advancements in technology will impact the way you drive, whether you’re embarking on a road trip or completing your morning commute.

While the components of the Wrangler Magneto EV are still concepts, there are plenty of Jeep features you can experience today. At Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT, we’re ready to help you find a new ride that fits your budget and fulfills your greatest desires. Contact us and plan your next visit to our dealership.

Here’s what’s new in the 2023 Dodge Challenger. View our inventory of New Vehicles, or if you have any questions, give us a call at (539)-766-8990 today!

2023 Dodge Challenger New Features

2023 Dodge Challenger

This is the last year of this generation of Dodge Challenger. Going forward, we’re likely to see a shift toward models with electric powertrains, marking the start of a brand-new era for the Challenger line. To show that the 2023 Challenger is the last of its generation, it comes with a commemorative plaque under its hood. Unlike the 2022 model, buyers also get to choose from a range of colors previously featured for the Challenger as part of a lineup of 14 exterior color options. These colors include:

• Plum crazy.
• B5 Blue.
• Sublime Green.

Additionally, if you choose the R/T trim, you get a “345” badge for the front fender. This badge honors the Hemi V-8 engine secured under the hood. Also new for 2023 is the introduction of Jailbreak models for the 6.2-liter Hemi V-8 SRT Hellcat. Previously, the Jailbreak option was only available for the SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody. This means even more options for drivers looking to customize their rides. Choosing the Jailbreak model unlocks the full range of personalization options for buyers looking to purchase the 2023 Dodge Challenger.

Also on offer for the 2023 Challenger are four limited edition Last Call models. These commemorative models feature special additions, but Dodge will only make 300 to 1,000 of each unit available. Here’s a list of the Last Call models:

• Challenger Shakedown Special Edition.
• Challenger Swinger Widebody Special Edition.
• Shakedown Widebody Special Edition.
• Challenger Black Ghost Special Edition.

Dodge Challenger Trim Levels

The 2023 Dodge Challenger comes in an impressive variety of trims. There are five options for the non-SRT Dodge Challenger. The standard trim is the SXT. This trim features an eight-speed automatic transmission, eight-inch aluminum alloy wheels, and an eight-way power driver seat. The next trim level is the GT, which features all the same gear that comes standard in the SXT, but features a different look. The GT’s style is more aggressive than the SXT, including a rear spoiler for added flare.

Stepping up from the SXT and GT is the Challenger R/T. This trim option features a V-8 Hemi 5.7-liter engine. It generates an impressive 375 horsepower, which is an increase from the 303 horsepower produced by the SXT and GT. It can produce 410 lb-ft of torque. Improving even more on the R/T’s exciting options is the R/T Scat Pack trim. This trim ups the power even more by featuring a V-8, 6.4-liter Hemi engine. This engine can get up to 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque.

The top-of-the-line trim is the R/T Scat Pack Widebody. With this trim, you get all the guts of the R/T Scat Pack, but with a widebody design that is sure to help your Challenger stand out from the crowd. Enjoy luxury features like upgraded cabin materials and heated front seats. This model also comes standard with technology features like internet service that other non-RST trim models can only get optionally.

Dodge Challenger Engine and Performance

The 2023 Dodge Challenger comes with a few different engine options depending on which trim level you choose. The standard engine is the V-6, which comes exclusively with an eight-speed automatic transmission. It’s a 3.6-liter, which generates 303 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque.

The V-8 Hemi pushes the engine to another level, offering additional acceleration and power for thrill-seekers looking to equip their Challenger for the road or the raceway. The V-8 Hemi comes in either a 5.7-liter or 6.4-liter depending on which trim level you choose. This translates to 375 horsepower and 410 lb-ft torque for the 5.7-liter and 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft torque for the 6.4-liter. Drivers also get the standard manual transmission rather than the eight-speed automatic as the natural pairing with these engine types.

In terms of performance, the Challenger is as fun as it is powerful to drive. Feel the growl of the engine as you accelerate down empty highways and enjoy the responsiveness of the steering as you negotiate tight corners. The 2023 Challenger delivers everything you could want from a true muscle car driving experience. Whether you’re making your daily commute or challenging your ride on the drag strip, you’ll never get bored with driving your Challenger.

Dodge Challenger Interior and Connectivity

Simple, retro, and sleek all define the cabin design for the new Challenger. Inspired by the classic 1970s muscle car design, the 2023 Challenger pays respect to its predecessors in terms of style. However, the modern model is even more spacious than its ancestors. It’s roomy enough to accommodate five passengers between its front and rear seats, and it can even comfortably fit adult passengers in the back.

The modern Challenger also features modern amenities, including all the technology options you need in 2023. All 2023 Challengers come standard with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. They also feature an easy-to-use central infotainment system, with optional navigation add-ons.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Safety and driver assistance remains a priority for the Dodge Challenger. The 2023 Challenger comes with available safety features like blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. You can also equip your ride with safety technology like adaptive cruise control and automatic high beams.

It’s an exciting year for the new Dodge Challenger. As the last model of its generation, the 2023 Challenger has a lot to offer in terms of performance, design, and technology. It pays respect to its lineage while keeping up with modern technology trends. If you’re looking to get behind the wheel of a new Dodge Challenger, we can help.

Whether you’re at the park or at a music festival, you’re sure to find a food truck, and you’re never too far from a yummy snack. The Broken Arrow, Oklahoma area is home to a number of its own delicious and creative food trucks that you can enjoy right here without venturing into the greater Tulsa area. Here’s everything you need to know about the best food trucks in Broken Arrow.

Andolini’s Food Truck

The founders and owners of Andolini’s Food Truck are Mike and Jim Bausch, brothers and businessmen in the Tulsa area. They have a simple philosophy you can find on the Andolini’s page: “Our belief system is simple, be good to people, make the best thing you can make, and create as many jobs as possible.”

This pizza food truck is an offshoot of the popular Andoloni’s sliced, a Broken Arrow area favorite. Part of what makes this truck so special is its dedication to simplicity. Rather than offering a whole slew of complicated dishes, Andolini’s sticks to the tried and true rock stars in the pizza world: pepperoni, cheese, and a signature slice called DeMarco of Brooklyn.

The DeMarco of Brooklyn is the truck’s most unique pizza. It features a cast of delicious actors, including San Marzano tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, Pecorino Romano, and Puglia olive oil from Italy. The slice is in honor of Dom DeMarco from Brooklyn and his pizzeria on Avenue J. You can catch this food truck around the area, or you can book it for an event. Call Andoloni’s Food Truck at (918)-631-4688 to find out where they are today.

BA Taco Truck

The Ramirez family came up with the idea for the BA Taco Truck in 2018, with the goal of bringing real, delicious Mexican food to the residents of Broken Arrow. Mr. Ramirez and his family are from Mexico and use the food truck every day to dish out gourmet, authentic, and fresh tacos from scratch. At BA Taco Truck, every ingredient is fresh, and all the sauces are made by hand.

Their cooking repertoire doesn’t stop at tacos, however, as the talented Mr. Ramirez is a whiz in the kitchen (or rather, in the truck), serving up mouth-watering dishes like tortas, quesadillas, nachos, burritos, and quezabirrias. Quezabirrias are corn tortillas stuffed with Mexican stewed meat, dipped in broth, and fried in a pan. For most dishes, you can customize the flavors you want, with choices like chicken, Asada, al pastor, and chorizo. The BA Taco Truck can be found on 193rd East Avenue, and you can order ahead for really speedy service. Call the Ba Taco Truck at (918) 813-5394 for more information.

Stu B Que Food Truck

Oklahoma is known for its barbeque, and the Stu B Que Food Truck is no exception. With both catering services and a food truck, there’s something for every type of event at Stu B Que. Do you like a variety of meats when enjoying barbeque? Stu has you covered with pulled pork, chicken breast, bologna, hot links, ham, pork loin, pork tenderloin, turkey, sausage, bone-in chicken, beef brisket, loin back ribs, and spare ribs. Try saying all that at once.

But the long list of offerings doesn’t end there, because Stu B Que also has an extensive list of sides. Some of their sides include fried okra, wild rice, baked potatoes, loaded potatoes, salad, baked beans, green beans, cheese potatoes, potato salad, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, mixed vegetables, and pasta salad.

After your meal, if you somehow still have any room left, they also offer a variety of cobblers for dessert. A serving of peach, blackberry, cherry, apple, or strawberry cobbler is the perfect way to round off a meal from the Stu B Que truck. You can give Stu B Que a call at (918) 724-7886 to get more information on the food truck’s location.

Rainbow Bowls

After all that barbeque and a heaping serving of cheesy potatoes from Stu B Que, you may be looking for something lighter. Rainbow Bowls has your back with a full selection of nutritious, fresh, and fruity smoothies and smoothie bowls. Everything about Rainbow Bowls is bright and fun, from the theme to the menu to the food itself. The truck is an offshoot of the popular Rainbow Bowls Superfood Cafe on South Main Street, where you can find Red Bull infusions, acai bowls, and smoothies.

Rainbow Bowls is a great way to combine a tasty treat with a nutritious snack, as you can add a variety of toppings and protein add-ins to any shake or bowl. For something rich, try the Peanut Butter Chocolate. It’s a smoothie with Blue Majik, bananas, blueberries, vegan chocolate chips, strawberries, peanut butter, and local honey.

If you want to go for something classic, the Rainbow Bowl is an acai bowl with granola, bananas, blueberries, strawberries, and local honey. The food truck moves around town and books for events like weddings, corporate meetings, and festivals, but you can always check to see where the truck is if you’re hungry for a smoothie now.

Route 66 Fry Bread

Though it’s the last truck on this list, it’s certainly not the least. Route 66 Fry Bread is a spunky, down-to-earth, and original food truck you can find hanging around Broken Arrow, or anywhere along the Route 66 highway. This truck is home to a one-pound taco, and if that’s not enough to pique your interest, the fact that each piece of fry bread is homemade may change your mind. The truck itself features some of the iconic landmarks from Route 66 and a little map of the famous highway. The food is rich, delicious, hot, and made-to-order.

We hope this guide has been helpful if you’re looking for some unique and tasty food trucks to try in the Broken Arrow area. From tacos to smoothie bowls, there’s a food truck for every kind of eater in our local area. If you need a new ride to the next food truck festival, we have all the Chryslers, Jeeps, Dodges, Rams, and FIATs you could as for here at Chris Nikel.

Ram’s ProMaster full-size van was starting to show its age, but the all-new 2023 model marches on with a complete redesign from the ground up. The most notable improvements are its updated powertrain, revised exterior design, improved cargo-hauling capability, and a range of tech features. This significantly updated box on wheels represents endless possibilities for both commercial and recreational applications.

Whether you need a cargo hauler, camper van, mobile office, or delivery vehicle, the ProMaster is ready to rise to the challenge. Already popular with small businesses, the ProMaster will become even more attractive to commercial buyers thanks to its impressive payload capacity and a new all-electric model set to debut in 2023. Read below as our team at Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT takes an in-depth look at the features that make the 2023 ProMaster an excellent choice for the cargo van segment. View our inventory of New Vehicles, or if you have any questions, give us a call at (539)-766-8990 today!

Powertrain, Transmission, and Performance

New 2023 Ram ProMaster Image By RAM

Under the hood, a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine with 276 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque powers the 2023 ProMaster. It mates to a nine-speed automatic transmission that routes power to only the front wheels, an improvement on the old six-speed unit, to deliver improved fuel efficiency and a smoother, more refined ride. As previously mentioned, Ram will introduce a fully electric version of the ProMaster with the 2023 model, further improving fuel efficiency, reducing emissions, and giving businesses a zero-emission option for their fleets.

On the performance front, the ProMaster doesn’t disappoint, with a 6,910-pound maximum towing capacity and a payload rating of up to 4,680 pounds. That’s significantly higher than the previous generation. You can take on oversized cargo and heavier loads more confidently. The zero to 60 mph sprint has also improved over the previous model and now takes just 8.1 seconds, which is legitimately fast for a cargo van. Overall, the 2023 Ram ProMaster is a substantial step up over its predecessor and a great choice for anyone looking for a reliable and capable cargo van.

Interior Design

Ram has completely redesigned the interior of the 2023 ProMaster, with a focus on improving ergonomics and cargo-hauling capabilities. The driver’s seat is flattened and moved forward to give you an expansive, wide-angle view of the road. The dash layout is much simpler, and the center console is now bigger, providing plenty of storage space for small items.

The second-row seating can now accommodate up to three people, making it a great choice for hauling a crew. If you need to maximize cargo hauling, you can choose the cargo-hauling interior layout, which features two flat walls with plenty of tie-downs and straps to secure whatever cargo you need to move.

Exterior Design

The 2023 ProMaster incorporates a fresh exterior design, a much-needed improvement from the previous generation model. The refined boxy design has an updated front fascia featuring a larger grille and more modern LED headlights and fog lamps, giving the new ProMaster a more aggressive and stylish look. The new Super High roof configuration also helps to make the new ProMaster stand out from the competition. It offers over 6 feet of cargo height, making it easier to stand up and move around inside the cargo area.

The Black Appearance Package sports a black grille, badges, and bezels, giving the ProMaster an even more menacing look. The new black machined face and silver alloy wheels complete the “black on black” look. You can also choose Ceramic Gray or Spitfire Orange exterior color options for added style. The result is a cargo van that looks as good as it performs.

Infotainment and Connectivity

With technological advances even in the commercial vehicle segment, you need a cargo van that keeps you connected, and the 2023 ProMaster delivers. The standard infotainment system is a 7-inch touch-screen unit with Uconnect 5 software. This setup provides access to Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and SiriusXM options for those long work trips out of Broken Arrow.

There’s also an even larger optional 10-inch unit if you need a bigger screen. This system allows for over-the-air updates and offers a subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot, giving you internet access even on the road. So you can stay connected no matter where your business takes you.

Safety and Driver Assist Technologies

Safety is a top priority in the commercial vehicle segment, and the 2023 ProMaster offers a long list of features that make it one of the safest cargo vans on the market. It has a standard suite of driver assist technologies, such as forward collision warning, drowsiness detection, traffic sign recognition, and crosswind assist. New for 2023 is an optional parallel/perpendicular park assist system to help you park easily. This system can identify a suitable parking space and guide the vehicle into the space with minimal effort.

Also on offer is active drive assist, a Level 2 semi-autonomous driving system that combines adaptive cruise control with lane-centering technology to keep the vehicle in its intended lane and at a safe distance from other vehicles. It also offers automatic high beams, so the headlights will switch from low to high beams when it detects oncoming traffic. A 360-degree camera system, a digital rearview mirror, and cornering fog lights are also available to help you see your surroundings more clearly.

With its updated exterior design, comfortable interior, extensive tech features, and driver assistance systems, the 2023 Ram ProMaster is a great choice if you’re looking for a reliable and safe cargo van.

Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT is proud to offer the 2023 Ram ProMaster in all its configurations, including the Super High Roof Van, the Black Appearance Package, and the limited-edition Spitfire Orange. We’re also your go-to source for all your Ram ProMaster parts and service needs, so be sure to stop by and check out all the great features this van offers.

Throughout its long history, Jeep has produced many iconic vehicles that delivered unmatched off-road performance. The automaker continues to forge ahead, combining proven hardware and capabilities with the latest automotive technologies. In its endeavor to make electrification a crucial part of its future, it showcased several adventure-ready electrified concept vehicles at the 2022 Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah. Let’s take a closer look at Jeep’s exciting Easter Safari concepts. View our inventory of New Vehicles, or if you have any questions, give us a call at (539)-766-8990 today!

2023 Jeep ‘41 Concept

Jeep Moab Easter Safari concept Image by Jeep

Over 80 years ago, the first Jeep vehicles rolled off the assembly line and headed toward active duty in the United States Army. As a way to pay tribute to its roots, Jeep created the military-themed Jeep ‘41 concept based on a four-door Wrangler Rubicon 4xe.

The plug-in hybrid Jeep ‘41 gets its power from a 2.0-liter turbo-four engine that teams with a pair of electric motors, a high-voltage battery pack, and a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission to generate 375 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. This setup returns an impressive 49 mpg equivalent and offers up to 21 miles of all-electric range, making it the most eco-friendly, capable, and technically advanced Wrangler ever. For hitting the trails, the concept comes with a 2-inch lift kit, 35-inch BFGoodrich mud-terrain tires, and 17-inch Fifteen52 Analog HD wheels.

The Jeep ‘41 nods to its past with a black powder-coated steel bumper and matte olive green finish. It also features a bumper bull bar from Jeep Performance Parts, a WARN winch, JPP half doors, and a tan soft top. Finishing touches include accent-colored tow hooks and a custom stenciled graphics package. On the inside, the SUV boasts canvas-covered seats, digitized camo styling elements, and Serafil 1043 stitching. Additionally, it has a Rhino-lined floor to fortify its toughness.

2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 4xe Concept

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 4xe concept is one of the few electric-assisted vehicles that Jeep built as part of its “Zero Emission Freedom” mission. Similar to the production version, this concept uses a 2.0-liter turbo-four, two electric motors, and a 400-volt battery system. That’s good for a fuel-economy rating of 56 mpg-equivalent and up to 25 miles of electric range. A TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission provides quick and precise gear changes, while the Jeep Quadra-Lift air suspension contributes to better ride quality.

On the outside, the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk 4xe concept has custom widened flares and trimmed wheel wells to accommodate its 33-inch BFGoodrich mud-terrain tires and 20-inch Vossen gray metallic matte-painted wheels. It’s also fitted with Mopar rock sliders for enhanced protection against off-road obstacles and four projector fog lamps to improve visibility in adverse weather conditions. The concept’s interior dons saddle-colored upholstery with “Rodney” houndstooth details for a premium and cozy vibe. Although the primary color scheme is custom, it still features Surf Blue stitching and signature Trailhawk 4xe badging.

2023 Jeep Wrangler Magneto 2.0 Concept

At the previous edition of the Easter Jeep Safari, Jeep introduced a first-of-its-kind battery-electric vehicle (BEV) called the Wrangler Magneto BEV concept, which received a phenomenal response from the attendees of the event. The Magneto 2.0 kicks things up a notch with increased power, capability, control, and technology.

The Wrangler Magneto 2.0 concept is equipped with a sophisticated axial flux motor, four lithium-ion 70-kWh battery packs that make up an 800-volt system, and a specialized inverter typically found in high-performance race cars. Mated to a six-speed manual transmission, this Wrangler churns out an incredible 625 horsepower and 850 lb-ft of torque. According to Jeep, it’s capable of hitting 60 mph from a stop in a mind-blowing two seconds.

Based on a two-door Wrangler, the Magneto 2.0 concept’s wheelbase is 12 inches longer than its predecessor’s. It comes with a 3-inch lift kit that creates enough room for its huge 40-inch Maxxis Razr mud tires, which are fitted on 20-inch wheels. Exterior details include Surf Blue paint, custom bumpers, a bikini top, carbon-fiber bits, and a special hood with a window allowing admirers to peek at the power unit.

2023 Jeep Bob Concept

The Jeep Bob concept is a cross between the iconic Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator JT pickup truck. “Bobbing” is a term used for shortening a vehicle to improve its off-road capability. In this case, it means reducing the truck bed overhang of the Gladiator by 12 inches. High-clearance fender flares and custom steel bumpers increase the concept’s approach and departure angles and provide extra protection in off-road situations. Other modifications include 40-inch Maxxis Razr mud tires, 20-inch Raceline Beadlock wheels, a 3-inch lift kit with off-road suspension components, Dynatrac ProRock 60 axles, and King coils and bypass shocks.

Powering the Jeep Bob concept is a 3.0-liter Eco-Diesel turbo-six engine that pairs with a TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic transmission. Delivering low RPM shifts, this setup can easily adjust to rough terrain. The SUV also has a Mopar cold-air intake to produce more torque and better fuel efficiency.

Jeep Rubicon 20th Anniversary Concept

To celebrate the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon’s two decades of trail-loving fun, rock-crawling, and over-landing, Jeep showcased the Jeep Rubicon 20th Anniversary concept at the 2022 Easter Jeep Safari. Featuring the same 6.4-liter V-8 found in the Rubicon 392, this concept boasts a 2-inch lift kit from Jeep Performance Parts, 37-inch BFGoodrich mud-terrain tires, and 17-inch Mopar Beadlock-capable wheels. A steel front bumper incorporates a WARN winch, while an underbody skid plate protects the vehicle’s critical components.

The exterior of the Rubicon 20th Anniversary concept boasts a matte Granite Crystal vinyl wrap, a Sky One-Touch Power Top, custom-built half doors, and removable side panels. To acknowledge the Wrangler Rubicon’s 20 years of success, there’s a 20th-anniversary hood decal, an American flag fender decal, and gold tow hooks and badging.

Although these Jeep concepts aren’t available for purchase, you can find production models at a Jeep dealership that offer similar capabilities, technologies, and features. If you live in Broken Arrow or Tulsa, Oklahoma, come to Chris Nikel Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram FIAT to check out our latest selection of Jeep vehicles. Whether you’re looking for a comfortable daily driver or an extreme off-roader, you’ll surely find something at our Broken Arrow dealership that suits your needs and preferences.

What Are the Benefits of Washing Your Vehicle Regularly?

Car Wash-5096 by West Midlands Fire Service is licensed with CC BY-SA 2.0

Properly cleaning your vehicle not only makes it look great but also offers an array of practical benefits. Below are a few reasons why you should wash your car regularly:

Prevent Damage to Your Paint Job

Dirt, mud, rain, and road salt can attach themselves to the exterior of your vehicle as you drive. They contain minerals and other substances that can do a number on your paint job. Washing your car is an effective way to remove these impurities and prevent expensive paint repairs.

Keep Your Car in Good Condition

In addition to ruining your paint job, the impurities that accumulate on your vehicle can cause damage to other components. For example, road salt can corrode certain parts on the underside of your car, such as the coil springs, axles, exhaust, and mufflers. Additionally, dirt and debris that get under the hood can affect the health of your engine in the long run. As such, keeping your vehicle clean can enhance its overall condition and longevity.

Enjoy Better Visibility

If you don’t wash your vehicle properly or frequently, you’ll probably notice dirt and grime buildups, hard water spots, and streaks forming on the windows and mirrors. This can make it harder for you to see what’s happening around your car, increasing your risk of getting into an accident. Going to the car wash doesn’t cost a lot, but it can help you stay safe behind the wheel by improving your visibility.

Increase Your Car’s Value

Are you planning to sell or trade in your vehicle in the future? If so, it’s a good idea to start taking good care of your car now. Washing your vehicle often can help prevent rust, dull paint, and other issues that can make it less desirable, ensuring that it will fetch a good price when it’s time for you to part with it.

How Often Should You Wash Your Car?

In most cases, experts recommend that you wash your vehicle roughly once every two weeks. However, if you frequently drive in a dusty environment, go on road trips, or park your car outside, you should go to the car wash more often. While you may think that washing your vehicle is a summertime chore, you actually have to do it more often in winter. This is because salt from the roads can corrode the metal parts of your car.

Where Should You Get Your Vehicle Washed in Broken Arrow?

Wherever you live in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, you don’t need to drive far to give your vehicle a good clean. Below is a list of highly recommended car washes in the area:

Whitewater Express Car Wash

Whitewater Express Car Wash provides an outstanding car wash experience with its state-of-the-art equipment, professional uniformed staff, and attractive prices and packages.

Additionally, it offers complimentary self-service vacuums, air guns, and wet or dry mat cleaning machines for interior cleaning.

There are several car wash packages available at Whitewater Express Car Wash to suit your budget and preferences. You can opt for a one-time service or join the Unlimited Speed Club to wash your vehicle as many times as you want. Whitewater Express is located at 2300 West Kenosha St.

BA Car Wash

BA Car Wash offers three wash packages to cater to your specific vehicle maintenance needs. The basic Great Wash package is by no means a no-frills wash, as it comes with an automated bug application, a two-step wheel-cleaning process, triple-foam conditioning, and clear-coat protection. The Better Wash! package adds paint-sealant application and tire shining, while the Best Wash! package protects your ride with premium polish and ceramic coating. This car wash has 10 free vacuums that you can use whenever you want.
