First introduced in 1941, the Jeep Wrangler was created to meet the needs of the United States military during World War II, replacing their previously used Ford’s Model T fleet.

 

Proving its extraordinary capability, the Wrangler, as well as the rest of Jeep’s lineup, has evolved to become an iconic part of American history.

This competition we’re talking about is less about “reality” and more about “imagination,” but if you spend any meaningful length of time with the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica, we think you’ll feel like we do: the 2017 Pacifica is blowing the competition out of the water. It’s hard to compare to the clever available features the Pacifica brings to the minivan game. It’ll see your “removable second row” and raise you an “available Stow ‘N Go seating.”

Here at Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Klamath Falls, we’re not necessarily surprised to see that the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Dodge Challenger won the titles of “Most Ideal Mid-Size SUV” and “Most Ideal Sporty Car” from the 2016 AutoPacific Ideal Vehicle Awards respectively—after all, it’s the sixth year in a row that the Grand Cherokee has nabbed this title, and it marks the fourth year for the Dodge Challenger.

In 1941 a legend was born, the Willys MB, and during the years in between, the Jeep brand has produced more than its fair share of legendary vehicles. In honor of the 75th anniversary of the Jeep brand, a Commemorative Jeep Wrangler was produced to look like the iconic Willys MB, right down to the paint color and the tire treads.

It might not be Thursday, but we’re going to throw it back anyway here at Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Klamath Falls. We’re throwing it way way back, all the way to the beginning of the Jeep brand’s long, 75-year history. The video below will walk you through some of the milestones on the Jeep brand timeline, showcasing iconic models, game-changing innovations, and the Jeep brand models that gave rise to the vehicles we know and love today.

June is a great month for outdoorsy folk. Not only does summer officially begin in June, but June is also National Camping Month! As such, The Jeep Blog saw the addition of a post that discusses some Jeep camping gear, like the 75th Anniversary Portable PowerKit:

Here at Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge Klamath Falls, we’re starting to sense a pattern with our Jeep brand vehicles and big Hollywood movies. Earlier this year, the 2016 Jeep Renegade joined the Caped Crusader and the Man of Steel onscreen in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and at the end of this month, the 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk will also be featured on the silver screen in the film Independence Day: Resurgence. That’s two movie stars in the same lineup; which Jeep model will be gracing the big screen next?

 

If you’re a parent, then we don’t have to tell you that messes and children are inextricably linked, where one goes, the other follows. That’s why we’re so excited about the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica here at Lithia Chrysler Jeep Dodge of Klamath Falls, because the 2017 Pacifica offers an available integrated Stow ‘N Vac vacuum, so you can deal with the dirt before it turns into a full-blown mess. Check it out in the fun advert below!

 

Yesterday, the Chrysler issued a press release announcing that Kelly Blue Book recently named the luxury brand “Best Car Styling Brand” as part of its 2016 Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards. The annual Brand Image Awards were created in order to recognize the achievements of manufacturers in regards to developing brands that capture the attention and enthusiasm of consumers...

Ultimate Jeep brand enthusiasts have March 19 through 27 marked in their calendars. Yes, it's that time again: the Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah.

With it just around the corner, the Jeep brand did us a solid by showing us which seven concepts will be present for the 50th annual event; this year happens to also be the Jeep brand's 75^th anniversary.
