2014 RAM 1500 LARAMIE CREW CAB-Safety

Many people buy trucks because they are heavy duty, bigger, safer and many other reasons. Well, Ram has gone above and beyond the normal safety brinks and put in more! Front tow hooks, which are normally used for towing, obviously, fold under frontal impact and “rinkle” allowing for more force to be absorbed by the truck rather than person. The hooks are attached to the steel frame of the truck allowing for more support. Airbags are also a plus. So you have the normal driver and passenger front airbags, but also airbags on the side of the seats! Even more, the doors have a window airbag. Allowing safety from all directions in this 2014 Ram 1500! If this safety sounds award winning to you, then check it out here at Woody’s Automotive Group! For hour and directions click here!

WoW Women

Today we are taking a step back from the cars, trucks and SUV’s topic and talking about women. More specifically, empowering women to stand up, make change happen and strive for excellence!  Its the end of 2013 and by now, it should be noted that women are just as successful as men. For example, GM just hired their first female CEO, Mary Barra. She is just one of 23 women heading a Fortune 500 company, and the first to head a major automaker! This comes around as a huge step for women in the business world! Finally, someone who started at the bottom, as an intern, has made it to the very top, breaking through that “glass ceiling.” So with her as an example and many others surely to join her ranks, it is about time women get the respect and gratitude they deserve, in every aspect of life. A huge aspect being car shopping. A woman deserves the opportunity to buy a car in a fair process just as much as a man. At Woody’s Automotive Group, that is exactly what happens. You won’t have a problem with sexism here, or unfair interest rates because you a girl or talked down to like you are unintelligent! We have one of the best female car sales advisers in the country here! Polly Applebury loves her job and she is one of the best at it! We have several female head of departments, and many who are the back bone! The push themselves and everyone else to be fair to all who walk through the door! So stand up for women everywhere and lets stand up for ourselves! Check out Woody’s Automotive Group women, you deserve a car as much as anyone else! Also check out this review! http://goo.gl/fnp5vy

2014 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LIMITED

So if you haven’t noticed, it’s getting cold outside.. Plus, it’s the holiday season and everyone is out and about shopping. Well, the perfect solution to that is Remote Start! So this 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited has remote start. First, a little back ground. I was at Oak Park Mall last weekend in JCPenny’s in the check-out lane, thought to myself “I wonder if my car will start from here?” So I tried it. Now keep in mind, my Jeep is at the end of the Dillard’s parking lot, so the complete opposite side of where I was. It worked! Cool thing about this being warmth and music! I had earlier preset my remote start option to turn on the heated steering wheel and seats, blue-tooth connection, and heater. So, when I returned to my SUV, I was completely warm hands, feet and all ,plus I already had my music playing when I was about 5 ft from the Jeep! So I would say this is a must have feature, especially if you are already spending the money on a newer vehicle, I would make sure to get this! If it sounds great, which it is, stop by Woody’s Automotive Group in Chillicothe, Mo, where this Jeep and many other vehicles with remote start are located. Over 700!!

2013 RAM 1500 LARAMIE CREW CAB- Navigation

So many of the new 2013 and even newer 2014 models of Dodge, Jeep and Chrysler have one of the best, if not the best, navigation systems available for vehicles! For instance, this 2013 Ram 1500 Laramie Crew Cab, has the Uconnect 8.4AN/RA4 system! It may sound just as plan as the rest but trust me, it’s not! The difference between the navigation in this system and the others, is that it shows the Nav in full 3D! So instead of seeing a image like this

old nav screen views

on your display, your navigation image will look like this!!

uconnect nav screen view

The cool thing and probably I would say most helpful, is the arrows. So not only is this system telling you when to turn, it shows the actual road sign on the screen to double check with what you literally see. Also, for the tricky exits that say something like “Take the next right, stay left, merge left etc…” this screen shows you exactly which lane you will need to be in from the very beginning of the turns. Plus, instead of waiting until the last minute to give you a direction, this system is two directions ahead! So if this feature sounds appealing to you, check it out in one of our many vehicle here at Woody’s Automotive Group.

2013 DODGE DURANGO CITADEL- Auto Dimming Mirrors

Many carsExterior Angled View come with a very cool safety feature that sometimes gets over looked. Literally, we look at it every day and 95% of the time don’t know its there! Auto-dimming mirrors -electrochromatic!

Rear View Mirrow
The Dot Above my iPhone

So I’m going to give a little back ground, then explain why this is a good feature to have. Driving during a dark, eerie night, on a road with no natural or man-made lighting may be fun, as long as you and your car are the only ones on that road. When an incoming vehicle approaches, its headlights turn into your eyes’ worst enemy. When it comes from the front, for brief second, everything turns black. When it comes from the rear, your vision retracts, desperately trying to battle the glare of the other vehicle’s headlights. Dimming mirrors are intended to counteract the Troxler Fading Effect. This phenomenon occurs when you try to focus your vision to a single point in space for more than 20 seconds. This will make a stimulus outside the range of sight fade away. Check out this diagram for instance. 

Troxler Diagram
According to studies conducted to reveal glare effects on the eyes of the drivers, the Troxler effect increases driver reaction time by up to 1.4 seconds. This means that when traveling at 60 mph, it would take the driver 123 feet to see and react to road hazards. Dimming mirrors used in the automotive industry are fitted with sensors to detect the intensity of the light. Usually, there are two sensors, one pointed at the front and the other at the rear. The interior mirror’s sensors and electronics control the dimming of both interior and exterior mirrors. When they detect a change in light intensity, they trigger an electrical charge ,applied to the glass through a low-voltage power supply. The electricity travels through an electrochromic gel in between the two electrically conductive coated pieces of glass which make up the mirror. As a result, the mirror darkens accordinly to the light detected by the sensors. Since these are automatic, the drivers hand never has to leave the steering wheel! If this features sounds good to you check out the inventory at Woody’s Automotive Group! We have hundreds of cars with this feature!! For our hours and directions click here!

2013 DODGE DURANGO CREW- Stability Control- Safety

TCS Button ShotSome cool technology has come out recently and is becoming more standard in many cars and SUV’s. Electronic Stability Control (ESC). This safety features like I said comes standard with many vehicles now! Usually cars have traction control (TCS) and anti-lock brake system (ABS). However, in order to have ESC, the vehicle must have ABS and TCS. ESC and TCS are built on the Anti-lock Brake System, and all three use the same wheel sensors. In addition to the basic wheel sensors, electronic stability control systems typically require a yaw rate sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, and some method to detect the

Top angle exterior view
movement of the steering wheel. Traction control, which is almost self-explanatory, monitors the traction on the drive train tires. So if you have front wheel drive, the sensors monitor and if the tires start to slip, it lowers the power delivered to help counter-act the loss of traction. Like anti-lock brakes and traction control, electronic stability control is an added safety measure. Electronic stability control systems consist of a number of sensors that compare a driver’s input with the way a vehicle is actually moving. If an ESC system determines that a vehicle is not responding correctly to the steering input, it is capable of taking corrective measures. Individual brake calipers can be activated to correct oversteer or understeer, the engine output can be modulated, and other actions can be taken to help the driver retain control. These systems won’t protect you from careless driving, but they can help keep you on the road under adverse conditions. According to the IIHS, electronic stability control reduces the risk of multiple car, single car, and rollover accidents. The reduction in fatal single vehicle rollovers is the most dramatic, and drivers with ESC are 75 percent more likely to survive those accidents than drivers who don’t have ESC. Another reason to care about ESC is the fact that it may be able to save you money on your insurance premiums. If any of this sounds like a feature you want/need then check out Woody’s Automotive Group in Chillicothe, MO, we have plenty of cars, like this 2013 Dodge Durango Crew for instance, with this safety feature!!

2014 RAM 2500 TRADESMAN CREW CAB-Style

Yesterday we discussed the Ram 2500 SLT Crew Cab, today we have the Ram 2500 Tradesman Crew Cab! Much like the SLT, this Tradesman has crew cab doors and a mid box bed (6’4″). So this truck still has plenty of rear passenger leg room and also allows for the back seats to fold down. There are many differences though. The tradesman comes with less features but offers a little more durability! Out of all the Ram 2500’s the Tradesman has the highest towing capacity with 17,900 lbs. There is about a 4k difference in prices with Tradesman being the lowest! So if any of this sounds appealing to you, check out Woody’s Automotive Group! We have plenty to choose from!

2013 RAM 1500 TRADESMAN/EXPRESS REGULAR CAB-Body Styles

Last week I discussed the body styles of the Ram 1500, today I will finish up the 1500 series and move on to the 2500’s. The most known body style is the regular cab style. This is a two door truck and can hold up to 3 passengers! The bed length is 6’4″, so the mid box. It also comes with a long box (bed) which is 8′ in length. Both bed lengths offer the same interior volume! According to Ramtrucks.com  “The Long Box gives owners the option to haul more without sacrificing cab volume or comfort. It offers more forward cab room than all other trucks in the Ram 2014 1500 lineup.” Great news for those who are interested in the regular cab/long box combo! If these sound appealing to you, check out our Ram 1500 inventory at Woody’s Automotive Group. For hours click here. For directions click here.
