2 Vehicles That Will Make Summer More Fun

And we’ll have fun fun fun!
Summertime. It’s the time for road trips, rolled down windows, and letting your hair fly in the wind. We all love summer. Driving to campsites, lakes, and hiking trails are all things to look forward to. But have you ever thought about vehicles that make summer fun? The best vehicles to make summertime even better?

We have! But, then again, cars are our thing.

We have two recommendations.

Vehicles that make summer fun allow you to:
Let your hair blow in the wind
Look up at the stars (unless you’re the driver of course!)
Catch a drive-in movie (yes, drive-ins still exist).
Haul a camper (and then camp!)
Drive on or off road.

Vehicles that make summer fun:

Jeep Wrangler
Ram 1500

Vehicles that make summer fun: Jeep Wrangler
A Jeep Wrangler is fun and practical.

Key Jeep Wrangler benefits:

• Fun
• Practical
• You join a community of enthusiasts
• Spacious
• Can haul things

Blowin’ in the wind
The Jeep Wrangler is also great if you love convertibles. Not only can you take the top down, you can also take off the doors and drive around – legally!

From zero to sixty
We often think about how fast a car can transition from resting to 60mph. But have you thought about a different type of transition? Jeep Wranglers can quickly transition from rough terrain to paved road within a few seconds after changing gears. It’s one of their superpowers!

The bond among Jeep owners
When you see another Jeep on the road, wave. You’re in a community with an unspoken bond over these fun yet practical machines!

Space
You’ll be surprised how much you can fit!

Camper in tow?
Whether you want to go for a scenic drive or go on a camping trip, Jeep Wranglers are up for the job! You can easily attach and pull a camper behind you when you hit the road.

Great for winter too!
Not only are Jeeps the perfect way to haul your camper while catching a breeze, they’re also practical for the snowy weather conditions we see every winter in Michigan.

Vehicles that make summer fun: Ram 1500
Pick a pickup truck!

Why? There are so many reasons!

• Roomy
• Safe
• Fast
• Affordable
• Can haul a lot!

Full-size trucks are perfect for an adventure. But, what about responsibility? Well, they’re good for that too! Pickup trucks are also practical vehicles for practical folk.

Pickups are roomy inside and out
Is there any room in there? You bet there is!

Pickup trucks have room to haul and there’s plenty of head, shoulder, and hip room inside too.

Do you like to go camping but want to bring all the amenities of home with you to the point where it’s almost not camping? You can do that with the Ram! Should you bring the kitchen sink? You’ll have to discuss that with your significant other, friends, or family. But whatever the outcome of that conversation, the Ram can accommodate!

Need to haul wood for a house project or bring home a mattress? No problem.

Fuel efficient?
While cars typically get more miles per gallon, pickup trucks can haul a lot of weight. If you have a car, but need to make multiple trips, a truck might be more efficient.

Pickups are generally safer than cars
Safety among vehicles across the board has drastically improved in recent years, and modern trucks are no exception.

Trucks, however, have an advantage. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) found that heavier vehicles usually push lighter vehicles backward on impact. This means less force on occupants in the heavier vehicle.

Size also plays into it. If a car and truck sideswipe each other, the truck’s passengers are much safer.

Sight is on your side
Pickup truck drivers sit up high, allowing them to look down at most traffic. This means truck drivers are more apt to identify – and react – to potential accidents.

Pickups provide a lot of value for the price
Pickup trucks offer generous interior space – more than most luxury cars. Pickup trucks offer horsepower that can outrun a 25-year-old Ferrari. Pickup trucks provide enough room in the truck bed for two people to sleep in. Pickup trucks have the power to tow and haul campers and boats. Pickup trucks come with four-wheel drive.

Whew!

While cars get more miles per gallon, given all the things pickup trucks can do the mileage they get is some impressive engineering.

Plus, pickup trucks are less expensive than most large SUVs.

Fierce competition means you win on price
Full-sized pickup trucks are the bestselling vehicles in the U.S. This means a lot of competition among manufacturers. It also means the sheer volume of vehicles produced uses economy of scale to drive down the price. Bottom line? You get an impressive product at low cost. It’s hard to beat that combination!

Pickups are fast
Just saying!

You decide
Of the vehicles that make summer fun, which is best for you? We know it’s hard to choose. Ultimately the decision comes down to you. Jeep Wranglers are fun and practical. Ram trucks are safe and offer impressive storage.

Which will you choose to drive this summer?

From all of us at Thelen Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, happy driving and stay safe!
