The 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona EV: Electrifying Muscle All-Electric Muscle The Daytona EV features a 400V propulsion system that delivers 550 kW of power to the dual motor setup the moment you press the accelerator. A steady discharge of 500 kW is then maintained for a quarter mile before the cycle restarts to keep up the performance. At the R/T trim level, this translates to an output of 496 hp and 404 lb-ft of torque. When PowerShot is engaged, the propulsion system produces an additional 40 hp for 10 seconds.

It features the world's first Fratzonic Chamber Exhaust, which uses dual bespoke extreme bandwidth transducers, Fratzonic Chamber-mounted dual passive radiators, and an amplifier that delivers up to 600 watts. The Fratzonic Chamber Exhaust is programmed to produce different sounds for each vehicle event, including powering up, idling, acceleration, and deceleration. Additionally, the exhaust system changes the intensity of the notes to match the selected driving mode, producing more ferocious engine sounds in Sport, Track, and Drag mode, and going completely silent in Stealth mode. Dual Braking System The Daytona EV's regenerative brakes can be adjusted to increase or decrease the kinetic energy recaptured during deceleration. The amount of effort needed to stop the vehicle changes based on the setting, allowing you to find the perfect braking feel. This technology combines with Brembo High-Performance Brakes, which come with 6-piston front and 4-piston rear calipers, providing the stopping power needed to halt the mighty EV. Driver-Focused Cockpit Stepping inside the EV, you will be greeted by a clutter-free digital instrument panel, a 12.3-inch touchscreen display with Uconnect 5, a steering wheel with mounted controls to change drive modes, as well as a pistol-grip shifter.

Maintaining your Chrysler’s engine is crucial for longevity, and one of the most essential tasks is scheduling regular oil changes. At Ewald CDJR Oconomowoc, we emphasize how vital this simple maintenance step is for keeping your vehicle running smoothly. Here’s a guide to help you understand when and why your Chrysler needs an oil change, ensuring its performance stays at its peak. Why Regular Oil Changes Are Crucial Engine oil plays a central role in the performance of your Chrysler. It lubricates moving parts, reduces friction, and prevents overheating. Over time, however, oil degrades and collects debris, which can cause wear and tear on engine components. Keeping your oil fresh is the key to preventing costly engine repairs and ensuring a smooth, efficient ride. more When Should You Change Your Oil? For most Chrysler vehicles, oil changes are recommended every 5,000 to 7,500 miles if you’re using synthetic oil. If you frequently drive in heavy traffic, extreme temperatures, or tow heavy loads, you may need to change your oil more often. Always refer to your owner’s manual for the most accurate oil change schedule specific to your vehicle. Choosing the Right Oil for Your Chrysler The type of oil you use plays a significant role in engine protection. Chrysler vehicles typically perform best with synthetic oil, as it offers superior protection, better performance in cold or hot temperatures, and a longer lifespan. Many Chrysler models require 5W-30 oil, but you should always consult your manual to ensure you use the recommended oil for your vehicle. Signs It’s Time for an Oil Change Pay attention to these warning signs that indicate an oil change is overdue: Check Engine Light: This could signal low oil or other engine issues. Unusual Engine Noises: A louder-than-usual engine might be due to old, ineffective oil. Oil Change Indicator: Most Chrysler vehicles have an oil life monitoring system that will alert you when it’s time for a change. Dark or Thick Oil on the Dipstick: If your oil is darker or thicker than usual, it’s time for a fresh change. Excessive Exhaust Smoke: Blue smoke from the exhaust often indicates burning oil. The Oil Change Process Getting an oil change is a straightforward process, but it’s essential to get it right: Drain the Old Oil: Open the drain plug to remove the old oil from the engine. Replace the Oil Filter: A new filter ensures contaminants are kept out of the oil. Add Fresh Oil: Fill the engine with the recommended type of oil. Check the Oil Level: Use the dipstick to confirm the oil level is correct. Reset the Oil Life Monitor: If your vehicle has an oil life monitor, reset it after the change. DIY Oil Changes vs. Professional Service While you can change your Chrysler’s oil at home if you’re comfortable doing so, professional service is always a smart choice. At Ewald CDJR Oconomowoc, our certified technicians use the right oils and filters to ensure your Chrysler is maintained to the highest standards. Plus, we handle oil disposal responsibly, so you don’t have to worry about environmental impact. Cost of an Oil Change On average, oil change prices range from $40 to $100, depending on the type of oil and the model of your Chrysler. While it may seem like a small expense, skipping oil changes can lead to significant engine damage, making regular maintenance a cost-effective way to protect your investment. Extend Engine Life with Routine Maintenance Oil changes are just one part of your Chrysler’s regular maintenance. To keep your vehicle running smoothly, it’s important to stay on top of other tasks like tire rotations, air filter replacements, and brake checks. Regular maintenance can help prevent major repairs down the road. Book Your Oil Change Today at Ewald CDJR Oconomowoc Don’t let your Chrysler’s oil change slip through the cracks.

As the seasons change and the Wisconsin winter takes hold, ensuring your 2024 RAM 3500 Chassis Cab is ready for the harsh work ahead becomes paramount. Whether you’re tackling tough construction projects or hauling equipment, winter poses its unique challenges, making proper preparation essential. A well-prepared truck isn’t just a convenience; it’s a critical tool that ensures your day-to-day operations go smoothly—no matter how severe the elements become. Here’s how to get your RAM 3500 ready for the toughest of winter jobs in Oconomowoc. Inspecting the Engine for Cold-Weather Reliability Winter doesn’t just bring snow and ice—it brings colder temperatures that can strain even the toughest engines. The RAM 3500’s engine is robust, but it still needs attention as the mercury drops. Before heading out for a full day of work, perform a thorough inspection of the engine components. Pay close attention to the cooling system, hoses, and belts, which can be prone to cracking or wear during extreme cold. Changing the oil is essential. Cold weather thickens oil, making it harder for the engine to start. A fresh oil change, using the manufacturer’s recommended winter-grade oil, will ensure smoother starts and better lubrication. While under the hood, check your battery. Low temperatures can cause a decrease in battery performance, so ensure that your RAM’s battery is fully charged and showing no signs of corrosion. more Tires: The Unsung Heroes of Winter Performance Tires are often overlooked when preparing for winter, but they are the vital contact points between your RAM 3500 and the road. With Wisconsin’s slippery roads, especially after a fresh snowfall, investing in high-quality winter tires is a must. Winter tires are designed with softer rubber compounds that maintain flexibility in low temperatures, providing superior grip when the roads get icy or snow-covered. Along with upgrading to winter tires, inspect the tire tread depth to ensure it’s sufficient for traction. If the tread is too shallow, the tire’s ability to grip the road will be compromised, increasing the risk of skidding and accidents. Be sure to rotate your tires regularly to promote even wear and ensure your 3500 is ready to handle whatever winter throws at it. Enhance Visibility with Winter Lighting Shorter days and harsh weather conditions can drastically reduce visibility. Your RAM 3500’s headlights and taillights play an important role in making sure you’re visible on the road to other drivers, especially in snowstorms. Begin by inspecting all lights, ensuring that they’re clean and free from snow or ice build-up. Foggy or cloudy headlights should be cleaned or replaced, as they will significantly decrease your visibility. Additionally, consider adding auxiliary lighting to improve your worksite visibility during early mornings or late evenings when daylight is scarce. LED light bars or spotlights mounted on your vehicle will help illuminate dark work environments, ensuring you can safely navigate even the most challenging conditions. Defrosting and Climate Control Systems As the temperatures dip, your cabin comfort becomes just as critical as the mechanical components. Make sure your RAM 3500’s defrost system is functioning efficiently. A quick check of the heater and air conditioning system ensures that it’s blowing warm air and that the cabin reaches a comfortable temperature quickly. Pay special attention to the rear defroster and windshield wipers—both are often subjected to ice and snow buildup. Additionally, take a look at the cabin air filter. A clogged filter will reduce airflow, making your system less effective at keeping the interior warm. Clean or replace the filter if necessary, ensuring that you stay warm while keeping your truck’s air circulation optimal. Fluid Levels and Winter Additives Cold temperatures can cause fluids to thicken, reducing the effectiveness of key systems in your RAM 3500. Check the fluid levels in your truck, including engine coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and power steering fluid. You’ll want to ensure that the fluid is topped off and, in some cases, replaced with a fluid designed for colder climates. For the winter months, it’s a good idea to add winter-grade fuel additives to your truck. These additives help prevent fuel line freezing and ensure smooth engine operation, even in the coldest weather. Make sure your truck is also equipped with the proper antifreeze levels to prevent freezing in the engine or cooling system. Prepare for Winter Work Conditions in Oconomowoc Winter work in Oconomowoc is no stranger to snowstorms and below-zero temperatures. Whether you’re hauling materials, plowing, or working in construction, your RAM 3500 needs to be prepared to perform. For businesses that rely on this truck day in and day out, winterizing your vehicle is not just about safety; it’s about productivity. Downtime due to mechanical failures or weather-related issues can result in costly delays. Ensure that your truck’s bed and cargo areas are equipped for winter conditions as well. Use bed liners or covers to protect your cargo from the elements. If you’re hauling salt or other winter materials, make sure the bed is clean and dry before loading to prevent the buildup of moisture, which can lead to rust or corrosion. Final Checks and Preparing for the Long Haul Before you head into a busy winter work season, take a final check of your RAM 3500. Verify that your truck’s suspension and steering components are in good condition, as icy roads can put additional strain on these systems. Make sure the brakes are responsive and that brake pads are in good shape for maximum stopping power. Also, check that your truck’s exhaust system is free of leaks, as well-functioning exhaust ensures that gases are properly expelled and reduces the risk of dangerous carbon monoxide buildup in the cabin. Getting your 2024 RAM 3500 Chassis Cab ready for winter work in Oconomowoc requires more than just a quick check—it’s about thorough preparation. At Ewald Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Oconomowoc, we’re here to help ensure that your vehicle is ready for the toughest of winter jobs.

Understanding the advantages and drawbacks of leasing vs. buying a car is essential before visiting your CDJR dealership. Leasing is often the most affordable option, but you won't automatically become the vehicle's owner at the end. Buying usually comes with higher monthly costs if you finance your purchase, but you get full ownership. Let's explore the various options to see which is right for you. Leasing vs. Buying at Your CDJR Dealership Long-Term Leasing Stellantis offers two main lease programs: long-term leasing and leasing with a purchase option. Long-term leasing is popular among those who want to drive the latest model. This program comes with customized packages that allow you to choose the lease duration and mileage, and you can include extra services, such as maintenance or additional insurance. It requires no down payment, which is a huge advantage when you want to drive home in a new vehicle but can't afford expensive upfront costs. On the flip side, you won't have the option to buy the vehicle at the end if you decide you want it. Exceeding the agreed mileage and vehicle damages can also result in hefty added costs. more Leasing With Purchase Option If you can't afford a down payment but want to buy your vehicle at the end, leasing with an option to purchase could be the right solution for you. Like long-term leasing, this program includes no down payment contracts, or you could opt to pay more upfront and cut down the final payment at the end of the lease. In all other aspects, this option is similar to standard long-term leasing, allowing you to tailor the contract to how you use the vehicle and purchase it even after the first 12 installments. You can even back out and start a new lease if you change your mind and don't want to buy anymore at the end of the lease. Buying Your CDJR Vehicle Buying your CDJR vehicle comes with its own set of advantages, including unlimited mileage and the possibility to upgrade your ride with a range of accessories. You also build equity with monthly payments if you finance your purchase, and you don't have to pay any of the fees associated with a lease. While buying a new car usually requires a down payment, borrowing directly from the manufacturer can give you some benefits, including the possibility to finance up to 100 percent of your purchase, negotiate a monthly payment that fits your budget, and choose a loan term that suits your financial situation and needs. Whether you want to lease or buy your next CDJR, our in-house financial team can help you drive home in the vehicle of your dreams. Call us at Ewald CDJR of Oconomowoc in Oconomowoc, WI to schedule an appointment and find out more about your options.

Your Dodge is a high-performance vehicle, but as every gearhead knows, performance can always be increased. Genuine Dodge accessories enable you to get the extra performance boost you want and customize it to be the perfect muscle car for you. We're going to look at some of the available performance-enhancing accessories you can choose from. Enhance Performance With Genuine Dodge Accessories Pad and Rotor Upgrade Kit The rotors are flat metal discs positioned behind your wheels. When you hit the brakes, the brake calipers positioned above the rotors close on them and the brake pads produce friction to stop the calipers moving. This enables you to stop whenever you need to. If you enjoy time on the track, upgrading the rotors and pads will enhance performance. This kit provides slotted rotors that are even more damage-resistant than your originals. They also enable the calipers to grip faster and apply more pressure to the pads to enable you to stop faster. more Cold Air Intake Your engine needs enormous quantities of air to mix with the fuel to provide efficient combustion. Air enters your engine through the radiator grille and passes through the car air filter, which removes dirt and other debris first. Installing a cold air intake increases the amount of available air in your engine, speeding up combustion and giving a noticeable increase in power and torque to give you an edge. Air Inlet Tube This accessory works with the air intake above to provide even faster cool air inflow to the engine. Front Strut Tower Brace Your front struts can flex slightly when you corner hard or brake fast. This flexibility has no impact on city or highway driving, but it slightly reduces performance on the track. The tower brace provides additional strengthening to resist this flexing and increase your control. Cat-Back Exhaust This advanced exhaust system can replace the original one for 5.7L engines. It's made from toughened stainless steel and polished to a shine. This system increases your horsepower and torque while deepening the engine's sound. Performance Springs Springs make driving more comfortable, as they reduce the shock of driving over the surface and additional stability. Regular springs are made from standard steel and provide a constant spring rate. These performance springs replace your original springs with higher-quality steel versions for extended durability. These springs reduce vehicle height, putting you closer to the ground. This reduces wind resistance, increasing your speed. Performance springs are much stiffer than regular springs, reducing body roll and improving handling. These are just some of the many accessories you can add to your Dodge, depending on your model. Our Dodge-trained technicians are happy to advise you on the best accessories to get the performance improvements you desire. Contact our service department today at Ewald CDJR of Oconomowoc, WI.
