Dodge Hornet

Do you have your eyes set on a new Dodge Hornet? If so, the team at Beck Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram can help you get behind the wheel and take it home! 

If you’re on the fence about what vehicle you want to buy, however, maybe this list of the top 4 reasons why the Dodge Hornet is in a league of its own will convince you! Here’s a brief overview of what makes the Dodge Hornet so special and unique: 

1. Electrified Performance 

The Hornet is a CUV. And what makes this particular CUV so special is the fact that it has been named the “Quickest PHEV Compact Crossover” on the market. PHEV, which stands for Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle, uses a combination of both batteries and fuel to power the vehicle. 

This particular make and model can reach 60 miles per hour in as little as 5.6 seconds, top speeds of 128 miles per hour, and deliver 383 lb-ft of torque and a total of 288 horsepower when equipped with the Exclusive PowerShot feature. This feature gives you a boost of 30 horsepower for some extra gallop. 

2. Top Safety Features for the Drive Ahead

The Hornet delivers when it comes to advanced safety features. With this CUV, you’ll have access to the following innovative safety features that don’t give you just peace of mind but also provide added convenience on your drive: 

  • LaneSense with Lane Keep Assist
  • Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go 
  • Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  • Forward Collision Warning with Full Stop 
  • Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
  • Front Park Sensors
  • 360-degree Surround View Camera
  • Drowsy Driver Detection
  • Active Driving Assist
  • Traffic Sign Recognition
  • Intelligent Speed Assist

3. Access to Amazon Alexa

Today’s cars are all about modern convenience, and the Hornet is no exception. That’s why it’s been designed to work with Amazon Alexa. 

Through Amazon Alexa, you can set your vehicle’s temperature, check current fuel levels, stream your favorite tunes, check your calendar, get updates on the weather and turn-by-turn navigation, and so much more. Just say “Hey, Alexa” to take advantage of these voice-activated commands. Talk about a CUV that makes your life easier!

4. Ample Storage That Fits Everything You Need

Dodge Hornet

The Hornet is bigger than it looks. Not only can it comfortably hold up to five passengers, but it has ample cargo room to fit everything you need with ease. Traveling with large suitcases? Picking up that cool find you discovered at the thrift store? Buying building materials for your next home project? With the Hornet, you can fit it all…and then some! 

This ample cargo space is all thanks to the Hornet’s impeccable design, which features 60/40 split-folding back seats, under-the-flood storage areas for valuables and keepsakes, and up to 27 cubic feet of storage space. 

Honorable Mention: Multiple Color Options

It’s impossible to just limit a blog like this to just four reasons, so we want to also mention that the Hornet comes in a variety of shades, including those designed for bold, colorful personalities. 

Stand out from the crowd in warm and bright Acapulco Gold. Find calm in crisp Blu Bayou, or go classic with 8 Ball and Gray Cray and let the Hornet’s aggressive accents stand out to make a statement. Between the multiple color options, LED taillamps and headlamps, and iconic Dodge grille, the Hornet commands attention everywhere it goes.

Ram 1500

In terms of performance and reliability, the Ram 1500 pickup truck delivers phenomenally. All of its built-in features are designed to elevate your ride and make it more comfortable. 

If you’re ready to experience the power of the Ram 1500 truck, then head on over to Beck Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Palatka, Florida. 

In the meantime, though, here’s what you need to know about the Ram 1500’s unbelievable performance. Once you step foot inside, you’ll be astounded by just how amazing the 1500 is to drive!

Powerful Engines and Amazing Towing Capability 

If we’re talking about the Ram 1500’s performance, then we have to start by acknowledging its powerful engine lineup and astonishing towing capability. 

When paired with the Class-Exclusive 5.7L HEMI V8 engine with eTorque, you’ll be able to easily tow loads weighing as much as 12,750 pounds! This isn’t your only engine option, either! 

In addition to the engine mentioned above (which delivers 395 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque), your other options include the 3.6L Pentastar V6 engine with eTorque and the Supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 engine. 

Delivering 305 maximum horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, the 3.6 L Pentastar V6 engine makes it possible to haul loads weighing up to 7,730 pounds, while the Supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 engine delivers 702 horsepower, 650 lb-ft of torque, and can reach top speeds of 118 miles per hour. 

Built for Strength 

When you drive the 1500 truck, you’ll be driving with a frame constructed of 98% high-strength steel. 

Frames like this can minimize the pressure that stems from a motor vehicle accident and help prevent the frame from bending. Not only does this make your truck dependable, but in the event of a collision, it could minimize the cost of repairs down the line, too. 

A Versatile, Multi-Function Truck Bed That Gets the Job Done

Ram 1500

One of the coolest features on the 1500 that’s worth talking about is the multi-function truck bed that makes it the option for work and anything else you need to store. 

First, it has a 60/40 split swing-away door that opens an impressive 88 degrees or 180 degrees flat, making it easier than ever before to load and unload. 

Best of all, this truck bed is capable of holding a lot of weight – up to 2,000 pounds, in fact! Construction equipment, rocks, drywall, and pavers are no match for the 1500’s truck bed. It even comes with a Trailer Hitch Light so you can see if you’re working in low lighting conditions. 

Technology You Can Depend On 

Last but not least, let’s talk about the 1500’s technological features that have earned it the reputation of being The Most Technologically Advanced Ram 1500 Ever! 

First up is the available 12” Driver Information Digital Cluster Display that gives you insight into your vehicle dynamics, gauge summary, and directions to get to and from your destination with ease. 

Then there’s the available Uconnect 5 NAV system which allows you to sync up to your smartphone’s apps and use them. Make calls. Receive messages. Stream your favorite tunes. Whatever you choose, the Uconnect 5 NAV system makes it possible. 

Last but not least, let’s take a look at the truck’s available safety features. Dependable and quite advanced, these safety features include: 

  • Blind Spot Monitoring System
  • Electronic Stability Control
  • Rear Cross Path and Trailer Detection
  • Adaptive Cruise Control 
  • Parallel and Perpendicular Park Assist
  • Pedestrian Emergency Braking
  • Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking
  • 360-degree Surround View Camera

This is in addition to the six airbags strategically placed throughout the truck’s cabin to give you extra protection in the event of a collision. We also can’t forget the 14.9” brake rotors that give your 1500 some impressive stopping power!

For example, the 17” Machined Faced Black Beadlock Wheels with Black Pockets come standard on the Rubicon and Willys models when equipped with the Xtreme 35 Package, but if you opt for the Sport S, you’ll be treated to 17” wheels in Mineral Gray. Regardless of which style you get, each one is designed to perform at the highest level, no matter the road surface.

With the Jeep app, you can remotely start your vehicle, send directions to your navigation system from the comfort of your couch, and get up-to-date vehicle health reports so you know when to bring it in for maintenance.

used cars

Are you considering buying a used car? If so, you probably already know that doing so can save you some serious dough. But how? That’s the question we answer in today’s blog. 

Here are 5 ways buying used saves you money, both now and in the future. 

1. Saves You Thousands on Relatively New Vehicles

When you think about buying a used vehicle, you probably have an image in your head of an old, beat-up car that’s on its last legs. However, that image is far from the truth, despite what’s portrayed in movies. 

In fact, many used cars are only a few years old, meaning that they have almost the same modern technological features as those fresh from the manufacturer. The only real difference is the price tag, which can save you thousands of dollars on a vehicle that’s very much on par with those considered brand-new. 

Remember, a brand-new car depreciates the moment it drives off the lot, so why not buy a used one and get a comparable car for less money? 

2. Better Financing Options

Even though a used car is priced lower than its newer counterparts, they still usually cost thousands of dollars and most people don’t have that kind of money lying around. As such, most Florida drivers choose to pursue financing. 

Financing is the process of taking a loan out on a car and then paying it off through monthly installments. When you buy brand-new, these monthly payments are going to be high. However, because used vehicles are priced lower, so is the amount of money you need to borrow. This results in lower monthly installments because you’re not having to pay back as much. 

3. Cheaper Insurance Rates

Florida experiences one of the highest rates of car accidents in the country. Unfortunately, that means that insurance rates are also on the high side. Fortunately, you can lower your insurance rate by investing in a pre-owned vehicle. 

Insurance rates are based on the value of the car. When you buy brand-new, it’s easy to know what the car’s true value is. However, that’s not as simple with a used car, which may have undergone maintenance or had multiple owners. As such, insurance companies tend to offer drivers lower rates on used vehicles. This means more money in your wallet each month. 

4. Less Money on Repairs

Photo by ​​ Kate Ibragimova on Unsplash

We know what you’re thinking: since a used car is older, it should need repairs more often than if you bought one brand-new – and that’s true, but only sort of. 

A lot of used cars on our lot are certified, which means they’ve undergone a thorough inspection to ensure safety and that they are up-to-date. This means that you can drive a pre-owned car with the peace of mind that the repairs it needed were already taken care of, saving you money upfront. 

5. Time is Money = Easy Savings

One of the best aspects of buying a used car at a dealership is that doing so saves you time from having to bounce around from dealership to dealership to find the car you want. Used car dealerships carry a wide range of makes, models, and years so you can browse used inventory all at once. 

By sticking to one place and getting to test drive several brands, you save money in tolls and gas that would be otherwise spent from visiting multiple places on the same day, or over several weeks. 

Sure, these may be minor savings but they become big savings over time. While this isn’t an exhaustive list of all the ways that buying used saves you money, they are some of the most common. If you want a used car to get you from Point A to Point B, our Palatka dealership can help. 

Visit Beck Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Palatka, FL, to Save Money and Drive Home in an Affordable and Reliable Car

When you visit Beck Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Palatka, FL, you are not only going to receive top-notch customer service; you’ll also get a personalized used car-buying experience.

Our sales staff will match you up with the ideal used car, truck, or SUV that meets your requirements. Best of all, when you buy used, you’ll save money, too! All of this, plus help getting pre-approved for financing, is available when you visit Beck Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Palatka, FL. Our address is | 256 US 17 Palatka, FL 32177. 

Ram 1500

When you have work to do, you need a truck that is reliable and functional. No matter what type of work you do, a Ram 1500 truck can complement your work day, simplifying your needs and providing convenience to every task. From simple weekend projects to everyday work schedules, this truck has got your back. The Ram 1500 is powerful, spacious, and has a lot of great added features that are perfectly designed to make work easier. 

Check out more about the Ram 1500 truck below. If you’re intrigued or ready to simplify your work day, come see us at Beck Chrysler Dodge Jeep to get a closer look. 

Work with Power and Performance on Your Side

Work comes with its own demands and without power and performance at your side, a truck simply doesn’t deliver. No matter what your work demands are, this truck DOES deliver. There are different trim packages, which means you can choose from various engine and power options. Each model is powerful and built for high performance so you won’t be disappointed with any option. 

If you love the Hemi, check out the Hemi V8. Other models include a V6 or a standard V8, all with smooth eight-speed transmissions. Ram added a hybrid system in their most recent models, which helps to improve fuel economy without making you solely reliant on an electric ride. There are models without hybrid capacities as well. 

Be sure to check out things like towing capacity, engine capability, rear suspension, height ride, and other similar factors that might impact how you do your work. You know best what you need, and the Ram 1500 will provide the power to get the job done. 

Depending on which model you choose, you’ll enjoy towing capacity levels up to 12,750 pounds, giving you plenty of performance capability and making the Ram one of the best in class where capacity is concerned. Fuel economy is pretty great for a working truck, with ratings that average 23-25 MPG. 

Work with Versatility and Utility

Power is only part of the equation for choosing a work truck. You have to consider things like storage, space, versatility, and capability. The Ram 1500 is a unique find, and some of the models even have built-in tool or storage compartments. The tailgate is designed to simplify loading and unloading, with split gates on most models. You will find that there are many features and choices here, so be sure to carefully compare the different packages to get what you need. 

The Ram provides versatility in a way that most work trucks simply do not. They thought of everything, with innovative storage, a spacious truck bed, and noteworthy features that make transporting tools or equipment a breeze. One of the most coveted features is their RamBox cargo management system. It’s secure and convenient, adding more storage for a work truck. The multifunctional details allow you to select whatever you need for your work, and then the truck puts in the work for you. 

All of the models, even their base package, are thoughtfully created to make loading, unloading, working, and storage work on your behalf. You won’t find a more versatile work truck than this one. 

Improve Your Workday with Comfort and Convenience

Working hard shouldn’t be uncomfortable. The number of trucks out there that do nothing to provide comfort is a shame. The truth is that many times, work trucks double as personal trucks. In fact, you may just want a truck that can handle work, but you also need it to provide for everyday needs. 

The good news is that you have the freedom to define what “comfort” means to you. Do you want leather-trimmed seats? Perhaps you want to keep it simple and just enjoy the basic details of a truck. No matter what you choose, you can experience plenty of space in the cabin and seats that are built to be comfortable even when you spend all day in your truck. 

Ram has their own infotainment system called Uconnect. You can integrate your smartphone, take advantage of navigation, and enjoy the music capabilities. Stay connected and get things done with ease. 

There is no shortage of space, from interior cargo and seat space to the truck bed capacity. Even if you travel with a full crew, everyone has plenty of room for their legs, heads, arms, and gear. No one has to feel packed in like they can’t move. 

Work with the Knowledge of Safety and Security

Finally, the Ram 1500 caters to security and safety needs in a work truck. It’s loaded with driver’s assistance and safety technology to ensure you are as safe as possible on the road. This includes blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and more. The safety ratings are great, which gives you that much more peace of mind for your drive. 

You are protected, and so is your crew. With these technology and safety features, you simply can’t go wrong. 

Level Up Your Workday with Ram 1500

The Ram 1500 is so much more than just a work truck; it adequately meets your work needs in every way imaginable. It’s simple, it’s reliable, and it’s built to work hard. Whether you want the best of work and play or you need a reliable work truck for all of your work needs, this truck delivers. 

Head on over to Beck Chrysler Dodge Jeep and let us help you find the perfect Ram 1500 for your working requirements. We’ve got just the truck for you!

We all know that managing financial challenges can be incredibly hard. Life is full of the unexpected, and many times those unexpected situations leave a nasty mark on our credit history. We’re left with the aftermath of struggling to get financing so that we can recover and begin the path to improving. 

Don’t let bad credit get you down. Life happens, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to get a new car when you need it. There are various options that cater to challenged credit histories or less-than-perfect scores. Check out these tips. When you’re ready to try for a new vehicle, we would love to help! At Beck Chrysler Dodge Jeep, we have options to meet every need. 

Get Familiar with Your Credit 

How much do you know about your credit score? When you head in to talk about financing, it’s much better if you are aware. It is so much easier for the financing departments to find the best solution if you are upfront about your financial situation. If you have a poor credit history, share that ahead of time. Don’t be afraid to ask questions about qualifications and what they can do for poor credit. 

You don’t have to walk in knowing your score; they will run their checks to determine that. However, if you are familiar with your credit and any poor marks against you, this will help with your credit process. You can provide the dealer with a realistic outlook of your history and where you stand and see what they can do to help from there. 

Bad credit doesn’t mean an immediate rejection. It just means that the financing team may need to look at specialized options to meet your unique needs. Come prepared to share or discuss your history. Be open and honest, as it will all come out anyway. 

Start with a Realistic Budget

You are the only one who knows your finances in and out. You have the best knowledge of just what you can or cannot afford. The financing team will run calculations about the maximum they can offer you as well. Before you start looking at a new car and financing options, get a good idea of what you can afford. 

Establish a budget and be realistic about all of your expenses. Don’t forget to include things like the cost of insurance or registration and the cost of fuel and maintenance. Your budget should consider all of your current expenses and income to help you determine what you can afford for a car payment. 

When you start shopping for a vehicle, have an idea of the payment you would like and the maximum payment you are willing or able to handle. Try to start with options that would fall toward the lower end of the spectrum to avoid unnecessary hardships from your payment. 

When you set up a realistic budget, it helps you best understand what you can afford. Stick to these numbers! 

Compare Terms and Explore Options for Bad Credit

Many dealerships offer their own financing solutions and will have various options when it comes to financing bad credit. Some dealerships and credit companies are easier to work with than others. You may need to shop around and explore the various credit options that are available to you so that you can find the best fit. You will find that the vehicle you choose and the financing available to you will make a difference in your final decision and getting approval. 

For example, here at Beck, we have specific options that we look to as the best solutions for poor credit. We also have different financing solutions so we can find what best meets your situation. You will find this is how it works anywhere. You also have the freedom to explore bad credit auto loan options outside of a dealership and compare the terms to choose your own. 

There is nothing wrong with comparing options and shopping around with different lenders to ensure you get the best option for your finances. Look at things like interest rates, payment terms, and the payment amount. 

A Down Payment May Help

If you aren’t in dire need of a new vehicle right away, you might consider taking the time to save a down payment for your vehicle. If you’ve established a budget and started planning, you could take 2-3 months and set back what you would spend on a payment. This is a great way to save a down payment. 

Your down payment doesn’t have to be substantial. Having something to offer shows that you are committed to this vehicle and are already working to make it happen. 

Co-Signer Options

In some cases, you may be able to get the best deals if you have a suitable co-signer. Not everyone can get a co-signer, and that’s ok. However, if you do know someone who is able or willing to co-sign, you might have more negotiation possibilities. 

When someone signs with you, it makes them also responsible for the loan. Since this is your vehicle, you will want to be mindful of ensuring you can make the payments and won’t default. Choose a co-signer that you can trust to support you and help you along the way. 

Use a Car Loan to Rebuild Your Credit

If you get a new car while you have bad credit, this is a great way to start refreshing your credit. You can use that new car loan to help rebuild and improve your credit. It’s a step in the right direction, and it will be important for you to make payments on time and even work to pay ahead when you are able. 

Consider this new loan a fresh start for your credit. Make the most of the opportunity and unlock your potential for the future! 

Explore New Car Opportunities – Even with Bad Credit

Don’t let bad credit hold you back. While it may not be ideal, you still have options available to you. Be proactive, be prepared, and explore the options that will best meet your needs.
