Maybe you’ve seen the craigslist ads for “MANly” trucks and
Jeeps. Don’t fall for them!!! Anyone can throw down some hard earned cash for a
vehicle. It takes a real MAN to drive around with a minivan-load of kids. You
know who you are… you are not only endowed with the body parts to create offspring,
but you have the MANliness to be a great dad who spends time with his family. This MANly machine has been thoroughly tested by a whole
flock of rugrats, and survived mostly unscathed for 133,000 miles. It is dark
blue – a MANly color. No baby blue for you, my MAN. It has a 3.8 Liter V-6. Any engine with a “V” is MANly. It
runs just fine. Speaking letters, this is an “SXT” version of the 2005 Dodge
Grand Caravan… honestly I have no idea what “SXT” stands for but it sure sounds
MANly. And a “caravan” is manly too… reminds me of a few rugged, enterprising families
travelling westward in conestoga wagons. Picture yourself heading west in this
modern-day conestoga wagon! All windows, locks, and the rear and sliding doors are all
POWER. Power is MANly, and YOU are in control of it! There is a thermometer so
you can educate the kids about how cold or hot it is; and a compass so you don’t
have to ask anyone for directions. The stereo has a CD player AND a cassette deck. Impress the
kids with your MANly 80’s heavy metal cassettes! It has top-secret cargo bins. Some people call that
Stow-n-go. I call it top-secret cargo bins. You can stash all your cool stuff
on trips so nobody sees it or messes with it. You could probably stash a kid in
there but that didn’t come from me. It’s amazing how those MANly engineers created
all that space. Or you can stash all five back seats in those top-secret cargo
bins and have a cavernous space to haul all kinds of MANly things, like bunk
beds for the kids, or a foosball or air hockey table. Foosball and air hockey
are MANly. You can also tow a pop-up camper with this machine; it’s equipped
with a hitch, brake controller, and 7-pin and 4-pin wire connector. Because camping
is MANly. You can have campfires when you go camping. We’re only selling this MANly machine because my MANliness
has outgrown it, requiring the ultimate… a FULL SIZE “SUPER DUTY” van! Maybe
this Dodge will be the stepping stone you need to reach full-blown ultimate MANliness
too. I’ll take the MANLY price of $4321 - or negotiate with me,
like a MAN. |

Chrysler recalling over 200k vehicles across its brands
Wed, 10 Apr 2013With more than 200,000 units across six separate recalls and almost all of its brands, it appears that Chrysler has officially jumped headfirst into the recall pool this month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued three official recalls for the automaker, and The Detroit News is reporting that the automaker itself has announced three more.
The biggest of the recalls applies to about 120,000 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 models for 2011 and 2012 due to faulty wiring harnesses for the seat-mounted side airbags, which could lead to these airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. A little more than 60,000 two-wheel-drive versions of the 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro and 2008 Jeep Liberty SUVs are being recalled due to a heat shield that could cause the driveshaft to break, which if that isn't bad on its own, could then hit underneath where the airbag sensor is mounted, causing the airbags to deploy. Wrapping up NHTSA's recall notices, about 20,000 Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass models for 2012 are also being recalled due to a problem with the fuel tank transfer tube that could lead to the vehicle stalling. The LX car recall campaign is going into effect this month, while the other two will start next month - all three notices are posted below.
In addition to the official NHTSA recalls, The Detroit News is also reporting that Chrysler is recalling more than 16,000 Ram trucks and a small number of Dodge Dart sedans. Around 6,500 2013 Ram 1500 trucks will be recalled due to an improper adjustment of the parking brake cable from the factory, while 7,000 Cummins-powered 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks are being recalled due to an engine cover that does not have as much heat resistance as it is supposed to. Finally, a total of 46 Dodge Dart sedans are being recalled due to a problem with the brake calipers and/or parking brake.
Dodge pulls New Girl and The Office stars for new Dart spots
Wed, 06 Aug 2014Dodge is hoping that a heavy dash of humor helps it move some more units of the Dart with a hilarious ad campaign called Don't Touch My Dart. The spots star actors Craig Robinson, best known for his role as Darryl on The Office, and Jake Johnson from New Girl as neighbors and friends playing a game of one-upmanship over Robinson's new car. Johnson is envious of the ride and just wants to touch it.
The ads are pretty funny if you're a fan of somewhat absurdist humor, and Robinson has just the right amount of over-the-top seriousness to really make the commercials work. They have kind of a Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote vibe with Johnson constantly in inept pursuit of what he wants, but he clearly isn't getting it.
The first four spots in the campaign are already online, but according to Dodge this is just the beginning. The company says that it's planning about 24 different versions of these ads in various lengths to play on TV and online. You can check out the ads titled First Scratch, Birdhouse Police Garage Door and Voice Touching below, along with the brand's release about the new ads. There's also a pretty good gag on its YouTube page with Robinson protecting his Dart.
2015 Dodge Challenger looks fresh, still plenty retro [w/video]
Thu, 17 Apr 2014It was the Ford Mustang that kicked off the retro-styled muscle car renaissance back in 2005, but it was the Dodge Challenger that served as the movement's poster child, with its unabashedly retro looks. Over the years, though, as the Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro were freshened and upgraded, the look of the big Dodge has remained largely consistent since its 2008 debut. For 2015, the Challenger has received a big freshening, boasting strongly revised front and rear ends and (finally, finally, finally) a redesigned interior.
Let's talk about that new cabin first. It's basically been plucked directly from the redesigned Charger, and boasts the same seven-inch IP display. The center stack's miserable, last-gen display has been replaced by an expansive, 8.4-inch UConnect system. Material quality should see a solid boost with the new cabin, as well.
The exterior, meanwhile, sees a revised front fascia with LED halo lights, as well as new grille inserts. A functional shaker hood scoop is a must-have extra on the V8 models, while the back of the car is highlighted by a new set of LED taillights that don't use the "Racetrack" design of Dodge's other models.
