As with the past year, Dodge has taken more steps to update their signature pickup truck, the Ram. Beyond a new front fascia that replaces the old cross-hatched grille, there will also be some exciting new limited edition models and several alterations to the general trim levels and options. Check out the most exciting updates below to see what makes the 2018 Dodge Ram a versatile choice for every driver. Regular Trim Improvements For 2018, Dodge added a rearview backup camera to every trim level. There is also a remote exterior switch for the LED bed lights within the cargo box, which makes it easier to light up the bed at night if you don't have a flashlight handy. The mid-level off-roading Ram Rebel also received these updates and a new optional leather interior package. Finally, the 2018 models adopt a new front fascia with a body-color grille and inward-pointing nostrils. As with the 2017 model, drivers can opt for a larger, 8.4-inch Uconnect touch-screen infotainment system. However, for 2018 it was upgraded with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto device syncing. These systems allow users to operate their phones, tablets, and other devices through the infotainment screen, which is convenient if you prefer the settings, apps, and design of your own Android or Apple device. Limited Edition Tungsten Models The Tungsten models are the new standard in high-end Ram trucks, and the most luxurious version of the Ram 1500 and HD made thus far. In addition to the many features coming with the top wide-release trim levels, the Tungsten will have a Light Greystone authentic suede headliner, never seen on any Ram truck in the past. Underneath the suede headliner, the general cabin is lined with "Natura Plus" Frost and Indigo leather everywhere from the dash and steering wheel to the seats and armrest. There are also rubber floor mats with a matching carpet and special badging. Limited Edition Harvest Models The other special edition is the Ram Harvest, a pickup tuned specifically for farm work. It's available in all three sizes and has a more classic chrome grill, in contrast to the newer grill design on all other models. The Harvest is a more accessible special edition than the Tungsten. The Harvest has a feature set that's reasonably comfortable and techy but suited to tough outdoor work. A convenient flip-down step makes it easy to climb in and out of the bed without lowering the tailgate, black tubular side steps help you get in without stepping on the ground, and there are special on-road and off-road tires with unique aluminum wheels and small holes instead of spokes. Luxury pickup and work-focused truck options have been getting more popular over the past few years, and Dodge has wisely followed popular demand with the exciting limited edition Tungsten and Harvest models. The 2018 Ram is available today, so check out our new Ram inventory and see what you like. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or would like to know more about your options.

Are you curious about the latest Jeep Grand Cherokee? The 2017 model is a great fit for most SUV drivers, whether you use it for your commute or as a family mover. Read on to see everything this hefty Jeep has to offer. Features Even in the baseline Laredo model, the 2017 Grand Cherokee comes with 17-inch alloy wheels, heated side mirrors, automatic headlights, a rearview backup camera, push-button ignition, keyless entry, six audio speakers, and a 5-inch touchscreen infotainment system with an auxiliary audio jack and USB port. While this is an attractive package for those on a tighter budget, move up the trims and you'll get replacements and added features that make the Grand Cherokee an elite driving machine. Performance The Grand Cherokee can tow a maximum of 7,400 pounds when properly equipped, and the most efficient models reach up to 19 city miles per gallon and 26 highway mpg. On the base Laredo, the model gets a 3.6-liter V6 with 295 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque paired with an eight-speed automatic shifter. On any higher trim level, you have a choice between a 5.7-liter V8 or a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. Interior Dual-zone automatic climate control is standard, allowing the Grand Cherokee to cool or heat specific seat areas. The interior has so many high quality materials and surfaces that it's hard to remember that it's a rugged Jeep fit for off roading. Whether taking a leisurely drive around the block or climbing over a rocky mountain path, you and your passengers will be comfortable wherever you go. Safety Jeep's hefty SUV earned the best score of "Good" in IIHS crash and safety tests. Several new driver assistance parking features were added for 2017 as well. Rear parking sensors are standard on all models, while the top-tier Summit trim level adds front parking sensors as well. Put simply, the 2017 models are more adept for tight parking in urban areas. Exterior Even from the outside, the Grand Cherokee impresses. With the standard Laredo, the vehicle is surprisingly lithe and muscular. As you proceed up the many trim levels you'll see just how eye-catching the 20-inch wheels, automatic headlamp washers, and premium colors can be. To see how stylish the Grand Cherokee's exterior really gets, wait until you see our final point in the model's favor: the special editions. Special Editions Another great aspect of the Grand Cherokee is its special editions. The Trailhawk is an award-winning variant designed for extreme off-roading, and the Trackhawk is supercharged for timed races and other high-demand performance driving. Each also boasts unique exterior styling so that Jeep-savvy folks will know exactly what you're driving.

After a good day of fun and sunshine out in Rockville, nothing beats a good slice of pizza. That boost of carbohydrates will fill up hungry bellies in no time, but finding the perfect slice may take some further investigation. Here are a few of the local favorites that are considered to be the best pizza places around Rockville. CS New York Pizza The best part about CS New York Pizza is patrons have the option of choosing a hearty New York-style slice or fill up their bellies with a Sicilian-style pizza. Once they've made the choice, the next biggest decision is which of the 11 toppings will complement the delicious ratio of cheese and sauce. Pizza bases are made to perfection and customers can buy by the pie or slice. Those who prefer a full pizza will take home the standard 14-inch pizza or a massive 18-inch pizza for bigger appetites. Potomac Pizza You don't get any more authentic than Potomac Pizza, which has been around since the late '70s. A perfect recipe and fresh ingredients ensure a delicious meal whether customers decide to sit down or have their pizza to go. Guests who are conscious about their figures should consider the fat-free or guilt-free pizzas that offer delicious fare without adding pounds. The three cheese and ultimate Potomac pizza bring up the rear as delightful pizza choices. Jonathan's Grill and Pizzeria Over on Baltimore Road, there is a hidden gem that disguises itself as a grill but ends up being one of the best locations for a good slice of pizza. The restaurant is open seven days a week and offers a great ambiance for a group of friends or family to get together. They offer a full menu, and although there are only two pizza choices, both these pizzas have customers coming back for more. The cheese pizza is available in a personal size or a 16-inch pie. Jonathan's special pizza is only available in the 16-inch size, purely because it's too good not to share. Angelo's Pasta and Deli There are two great reasons why patrons would want to order pizza from an authentic Italian deli. The first is the traditional approach to making the perfect pizza passed down from generation to generation. The second is access to the freshest ingredients thanks to the deli stock levels. The pizzas offered at this deli have both, and the result is a tantalizing culinary experience that allows bursts of flavor and freshness. Frozen pizzas may simply never form part of the dinner menu again after sampling a bite of Angelo's pizza. With a healthy community of Italians, Rockville sports some incredible Italian cuisine to keep the locals happy. Those who wish to have the American version of this doughy delight have a few options open to them, while the authentic restaurants remain within reach as well. Great service and terrific ambiance ensure a great night out. For those series binge-watching events, the pizza offers in Rockville also have patrons covered. " Pizza....

When manufacturers realize they have a winning formula, there is no reason to fiddle too much when bringing out another model. This is what happened when Dodge released the specs of the Durango SRT and, later that year, the R/T. Some of the specs were carried over to the R/T with just a few changes to put it in its own bracket. Discover some of the best features of the 2018 Dodge Durango. The Numbers Under the Hood All Add Up You never want to be a numbers expert quite as much when faced with a beast of a car. This happens to be the case with the new Dodge Durango as it starts off with a powerful 475 horsepower engine to power the Durango and whatever it happens to be towing along. Drivers will enjoy the powerful V8 engine as it purrs along in typical Dodge style. Speed is not compromised in this beast as it has an impressive 12.9-second quarter-mile. Durango Does Not Compromise on Style When the designers from Dodge brainstorm new ideas, it's pretty obvious that powerful and menacing make up two of the most sought-after design features of the new Durango. "If it works, why change it?" seems to be the motto of the 2018 Dodge Durango, and this means the front fascia and performance hood remain intact to promote the intimidating glare of the Durango. Head lamps, grille, and air vents complete the picture of a striking silhouette. The Interior Enjoys Stylish Finishes There are few things as frustrating as falling in love with the exterior of a car, only to be disappointed by a lackluster interior. The Durango does not disappoint as it offers a sleek and sophisticated interior that oozes both luxury and function. The interior favors a futuristic look with leather trim seats and a leather trim dash. The steering features multiple functionalities to ensure pure driving pleasure and clever lighting provides ambient light during the journey without distracting the driver. The Uconnect system is fully integrated and can use Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Competitive Prices for a Model in This Range When it comes to the 2018 Dodge Durango, a high price ticket is expected thanks to all the special features inside and out. It comes as a surprise to many who are on the market for the ideal SUV that the MSRP starts at $62,995 for the SRT. The R/T is a little easier on the pocketbook with a lower MSRP. This leaves plenty of room to add in a few extras and possibly also put some funds towards a boat for the ultimate weekend getaway. Scaling hills and beating traffic are only two of the aspects to enjoy when the 2018 Dodge Durango makes its appearance late summer 2017. Those who are on the fence between the SRT and R/T will have to weigh their options and needs to determine which is the best fit. Perfect for families and weekend getaways, the SRT boasts a towing capacity of 8,600 pounds, which might just shift the balance to its favor. " D O D G E " by Hugo-90 is licensed by CC BY 2.0

Residents of Rockville are known to seek the outdoors when the sun makes its appearance on the horizon. It is no small wonder that Rockville boasts some of the best outdoor locations for young and old to get rid of some excess energy and enjoy themselves. These are some of the best outdoor play locations in the heart of Montgomery County. College Gardens Park When beauty and function combine, the result is a park that boasts both spaces for relaxation and recreation. College Gardens Park is the ideal location for those who aren't completely satisfied with just a place to have a picnic. Bring along a basketball to play one-on-one at the basketball court or mitts and a baseball to play catch on the multi-use field. The park offers so much more, such as a Mutt Mitt station, drinking fountains, park benches, shelters and gazebos, and a stunning pond for scenic captures. Mattie J.T. Stepanek Park This park is just next to the Rockville Dog Park which means that all members of the family have the opportunity to enjoy a great day out, even the four-legged ones. Pristinely maintained, the park has aesthetic appeal to those who merely want to spend the day taking photos or stills for art pieces. It also offers activity areas such as the outdoor fitness equipment and a multi-use field. There is a well-maintained playground for children and a Mutt Mitt station. Tennis and basketball courts provide further action and those who wish to have a have a picnic can make use of the grill area, park benches, and shelters. Dawson Farm Park Nature lovers will delight in a visit to Dawson Farm Park, as it offers stunning nature trails that will rival some of the larger national parks. The park also offers picnic tables, shelter, and benches. Clear paths make it easy to get from one side of the park to the other. For the little ones, there is a state-of-the-art playground. The drawing card to this location is, however, the Urban Wildlife Sanctuary that provides both education and a much-needed service in the community. Thomas Farm Community Center The ideal location for those who wish to improve or maintain their fitness levels while having fun is located in Fallsgrove Drive. The center features a full playground for children that will challenge both their minds and bodies. Small children between the ages of 2 to 5 also have access to a soft play area to ensure their safety and fun. A basketball court and ping pong room are two of the favorites, and the fitness room boasts brand new cardio and strength-training equipment. The center also offers community classes which are a boost for social encounters. A breath of fresh air is sometimes enough to get through a tough day and in Rockville the parks offer this and more. Easy strolls are available on pathways while those who seek something a little more physical have what they need within their local communities. Furthermore, access to these facilities are at low cost or no cost at all. " Autumn park. " by MIKI Yoshihito. (#mikiyoshihito) is licensed by CC BY 2.0

When it comes to luxury sedans, it's no wonder Chrysler is top of the list. The brand has perfected their craft for many years, and the decision to bring out the latest 300 model leaves fans hungry for information. Tight-lipped and mysterious are two words to describe what Chrysler has in mind for the 2018 release and only with some information from Sergio Marchionne can we speculate what can be expected. This Could Be the End of Rear Wheel Drive for the 300 Although there aren't many changes anticipated for the 2018 Chrysler 300, the changes that are on the cards could mean a dramatic shift in what Chrysler fans are used to. Whether this is for the better or not remains to be seen, as one of the changes is apparently the shift away from rear wheel drive for the 300. This is tremendously good news for those who find the handling of the RWD vehicles dubious at best. This could mean an all-wheel-drive option, which is a good shift for any luxury sedan where handling is important. There Are No Dramatic Changes Where Appearance Is Concerned With only a few reviews available, there is no real evidence that Chrysler will do much to the interior or exterior appearance. This is good news for those who have come to love the robust grille and massive interior. Luxury has always been a key feature in any Chrysler model and this one is no different. With only a few small changes anticipated just to keep up to speed with current trends, the 2018 Chrysler 300 should be a dream. It's Powerful as Always If the massive changes anticipated in the new 300 are performance related, Chrysler will need to work hard to top the current 292 horsepower V6 engine. Also, they will need to top the 300 horsepower V6 engine in the 300S. If they manage to do this, we may see the start of V8 engines for the 300-range, but that is purely just speculation. For now, the general consensus is that the performance will remain the same. Lots of Trim Levels to Choose From If there is one thing that Chrysler customers enjoy, it's access to a number of trims in the different ranges. The 300 trims might have a few different offerings, but it is assumed that customers will have access to the Touring RWD, Touring AWD, 300S RWD, Limited RWD, 300S AWD, Limited AWD, and 300C RWD. These open up many options to lap up the luxury that is the Chrysler 300. As the motoring world awaits the arrival of the 2018 Chrysler 300, it is with much anticipation and bated breath. The market seems to loathe dramatic changes as well as when things appear to look too similar. Only time will tell whether Chrysler fans will embrace the new model as they have the previous ones. One thing is certain, the 300 is always a high-quality vehicle that provides a comfortable and luxurious drive. If these things are in place, there is no reason not to be pleasantly surprised by the changes. " Chrysler 300 s 1 " by Zytonits is licensed by CC BY-SA 2.0
