Ask any car nut what brands come to mind when we’re talking ultimate performance, ludicrous speed and incredible horsepower, and Jeep is probably not likely to even be in the top ten. It oughta be, though. In recent years, the brand known for being the gold standard of off-road capability has shown it has some tricks up its sleeve at the racetrack as well, starting with the high-performance SRT8 Jeep Grand Cherokee all the way back in 2005. The brand may have now reached the acceleration mountaintop, however, with the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. Read on for a few details about this full-tilt hot rod SUV from Jeep! Click here to shop our selection of Jeep Grand Cherokee models, including the Trackhawk! ENGINE? TRY “WARP DRIVE”: Under the hood of the Jeep Cherokee Trackhawk is the same supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V8 found in the incredible 2018 Challenger Hellcat. Assembled by hand in a special facility, the all-aluminum Trackhawk Hemi features high-strength forged alloy pistons, powdered metal forged connecting rods, and sodium-filled exhaust valves. Capping the engine is a 2.4-liter, low-profile twin-screw supercharger pushing 11.6 psi of boost. The combo is good for a whopping 707 horsepower, with 645 lb-ft of tire-shredding torque on tap. STOUTER COMPONENTS THROUGHOUT: Jeeps are known for their toughness, but when you’re putting 700-plus horsepower to the flywheel, toughness has to be taken to the next level. The eight-speed transmission has been reinforced to handle up to 800 lb.-ft. of torque, while the transfer case sending power to the all-wheel-drive system features forged internals and wider, stouter chains to drive the front and rear shafts. The driveshafts are Trackhawk-specific as well, with thicker steel tubing making up the shaft itself. Out back, the rear differential has been beefed up as well, with four spider gears made of high-strength steel. Bringing the “whoa” are massive 15.7 inch Brembo rotors in front with six-piston calipers, while the rear gets 13.8 inch rotors and four-piston clamps. The calipers get bright yellow paint. LAUNCH IS SERVED: From their work on the Dodge Challenger Hellcat and Demon, Jeep’s pals at Dodge have gotten very good at putting massive power to the ground with minimal wheel spin, resulting in tricks like the Demon’s ability to pull the gatdang front tires from the factory(!) with zero aftermarket performance mods. The 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk features the same “Torque Reserve” system as the Demon, which cleverly allows the engine and supercharger to rev higher just before launch, resulting in more boost and more horsepower on liftoff. Coupled with advanced traction control and all-wheel drive, that makes for brutal launches. Inside, where 4×4 off-road Grand Cherokees have a knob letting you optimize the suspension and throttle response for ice, rocks and snow, the 2018 Grand Cherokee Trackhawk also has a “Track” mode to handle launch control, including a tiny little set of drag strip “christmas tree” lights to tell you when to lift your foot off the brake and drop the hammer. BY THE NUMBERS: All that high-tech traction control, beefed up running gear and straight up ignert horsepower under the hood makes the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk the Guinness World Record Holder as the world’s quickest and fastest production SUV. How fast? How about a rocket-sledlike 3.5-second 0-to-60 time, and a 180 mile-per-hour top speed? How about an 11.6-second quarter mile, at 116 miles per hour? For a little perspective, the mighty 1970 426 Hemi Challenger, from the factory, would run the quarter mile in just over 14 seconds at 104 mph. That means the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk could blow the doors off the golden era’s most legendary muscle car in factory trim, then drive home with the air-conditioner on. Sure, the $95,000-plus price of the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is substantial, but when you consider a fully-restored, numbers-matching ‘70 Hemi Challenger can sell for north of ten times that at auction today, the Trackhawk is looking like both a bargain and a solid investment! The undisputed king of the hill when it comes to performance SUVs and sure to be one of the most coveted collector vehicles of the future, the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk was made for the quarter mile. If you’re looking to buy a new 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk in Bentonville — and, let’s face it, who wouldn’t be? — we’ve got three of these rare birds on the lot and ready to put a big ol’ smile on your face.

With decades of building tough, reliable, workhorse trucks in their rearview mirror, Ram has come to be known as the truck to buy when you want bombproof engineering. There’s a reason Ram has the highest level of owner loyalty of any full-size truck: they just work harder and longer. Though Ram pickups are the go-to for people going to work, not every Ram owner is the same. Different people, different tastes, different requirements and different budgets. That’s why the 2019 Ram 1500 comes in six exclusive trim levels. Whatever you need from your 2019 Ram 1500, whether it’s no-frills or frills galore, there’s a Ram for that, from the all-business 2019 Ram 1500 Tradesman, to the refined 2019 Ram 1500 Limited. If you’re looking to buy a 2019 Ram in Rogers, Arkansas we’ve got them in all option packages and trim levels here at McLarty Daniel CDJR of Bentonville, with more arriving daily.

Click here to browse our selection of 2019 Ram 1500 trucks Ram Tradesman Built specifically for working people and fleet trucks, the 2019 Ram 1500 Tradesman edition is all about handling the rigors of the jobsite with minimal muss and fuss. Sporting a decided lack of bling, the standard Ram Tradesman features an abundance of basic black: door handles, grille, bumpers and mirrors. Standard equipment are 18-inch steel wheels for minimal worry and maximum value when it comes time to buy tires. The interior of the 2019 Ram 1500 Tradesman is similarly businesslike as well, with comfortable seats in heavy duty vinyl, minimal options, and the Uconnect 5-inch touchscreen in the dash. Ram Big Horn/Lone Star One of Ram’s biggest sellers, the 2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn/Lone Star model lands in the divide between workday practicality and Saturday night refinement, with a chrome grille with black insert, chrome bumpers, chrome door handles and halogen headlights. There’s plenty of options to be had though, including 20-inch chrome or painted alloy wheels, so you can trick it out however you like. On the inside, the 2019 Big Horn/Lone Star stikes a similar, practical tone, with durable premium cloth seating, an available power driver’s seat and the Uconnect 8.4-inch touchscreen. Ram Rebel For those who see the end of the pavement as less of an obstacle and more of a challenge, there’s the 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel, which features 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac all-terrain tires, a factory lift kit, and suspension components tough enough to chew through whatever Mother Nature dishes out. This one’s not big on subtlety, a theme which continues to the flashy and aggressive interior, which features laser-engraved Rebel accents, with seats and trim in black and red vinyl to better shrug off mud, dirt and water. Ram Laramie Midway up the Ram luxury lighthouse, the 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie goes big on the chrome accents, unless you opt for the Sport Appearance Package, which includes a sculpted hood and monochromatic front and rear bumpers. Unique, 20-inch alloy rims fill the Ram 1500’s wheel wells just right, while Laramie badges on the tailgate and hood sides tell other drivers that while you’re ready to work, you’re not above indulging in the finer things.  Inside, the attention to detail continues with optional leather-trimmed 12-way power driver and front passenger seating with Laramie logos, and available heated rear seats. The optional 12-inch color touchscreen display is the biggest available in a full-size truck, while the 10-speaker Alpine audio system is ready to kick out the jams. Ram Laramie Longhorn A shout out to the Old West, the 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn is loaded with distinctive touches that complement a style that’s as welcome in town as it is at home on the range. Plentiful exterior chrome and Longhorn badges set a great contrast to available two-tone paint, while available power step boards make getting into the saddle a breeze. That Old West style is all over inside too, pard, with English tan premium leather that invokes horse tack, including a leather-wrapped dash. Setting it off are matte-finish wood accents, plus a Longhorn logo that — in a very cool touch — is literally branded into the wooden door skin of the upper glove box. Ram Limited The luxury flagship of the 2019 Ram 1500 line, the 2019 Ram 1500 Limited displays refinement all over, with a unique corrugated mesh grille insert, standard air suspension with an on-board compressor and automatic load leveling, and Limited badging that’s stamped into the door trim, grille surround and tailgate, plus power running boards that retract when the doors are closed to help maintain the Ram Limited’s stunning lines. Inside, the 2019 Ram Limited lives up to its exclusive name with options out the wazoo, including real wood accents, heated leather seats on both rows, the Uconnect 12-inch split screen display in the dash, and 900-watts of Harman Kardon premium audio. It’s the most powerful sound system ever installed in a full-size pickup, with 19 speakers, including a 10-inch subwoofer. Having options is great, and with the six exclusive trim levels of the 2019 Ram 1500, it’s easy to pick the Ram 1500 that’s right for your needs and your budget. Whichever you choose, you’re going to get the best Ram truck ever built, bar none. Packed with high technology and old-fashioned capability, the 2019 Ram is ready for whatever you need.

Every year during the Moab Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah, Jeep wows the assembled, Jeep-loving  faithful by bringing several custom concept vehicles. They’ve been doing it for years, upping the drool factor with both accessorized production Jeeps and wild, one-off creations that are so cool we wish they’d just go ahead, put some of them into production, and take our hard-earned money already. When it comes to off-road capability, everybody knows that nothing beats a Jeep. If you’re looking for a new 2018 Wrangler JL, Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, Compass or Renegade in Rogers, look no further than McLarty Daniel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Bentonville.

We’re your Northwest Arkansas Jeep Superstore! Stop in today for a test drive, and read on for some truly stunning Jeep Concept vehicles of yesteryear. Click here to shop our selection of new Jeep vehicles Jeep Hurricane 2005 If one Hemi is good, TWO Hemis must be better, right? That’s the thinking behind the futuristic Jeep Hurricane concept from 2005. With a body made from carbon fiber and a design that eliminates the use of a conventional frame, the Hurricane features not one but two 5.7-liter Hemi engines: one mounted in the front facing forward, and another in the rear facing backward, with a combined 670 horsepower on tap. That power is routed to each wheel individually through a unique transfer case with four independent driveshafts. If that wasn’t wild enough, the Hurricane has independent steering on each wheel, enabling it to do tricks like turning in a 360-degree circle without leaving the same spot. Jeep J-12 2012 Based heavily on early examples of the classic Jeep Gladiator pickup built from 1962 to 1971, the Jeep J-12 from 2012 was all about evoking the basic, solid Jeep trucks of the past while providing modern mechanicals and power. Featuring old-school touches like painted 16-inch wheels with chrome “baby moon” hubcaps, a bench seat, and a tweaked, modern update of the Gladiator-style grille, the J-12 concept was all Jeep Wrangler JK underneath, perched atop a four-door chassis that had been stretched a full 18 inches to allow for the 6-foot cargo box. If there was one concept on this list that we’d give an eyetooth to see put into production, this would be it. Jeep Shortcut 2016 As the old saying goes, sometimes less is more. That’s definitely true for the Jeep Wrangler Shortcut, a concept vehicle Jeep brought to Moab in 2016. An attempt to capture the coolness and the super-short wheelbase of the classic Jeep CJ-5 models built between 1954 and 1983, the Jeep Shortcut was a Wrangler JK-series two door that had 14 inches whacked out of the body and frame, with further shortening efforts focused on bringing the bumpers in tighter and deleting the rear-hung spare. Old school touches like the beam bumper, single hoop roll bar, c-notch doors, smoothie wheels and plaid seats up the Neato Factor. The result is not only super cool, it looks like 10 pounds of fun in a five-pound bag. Jeep Quicksand 2017 If you’re looking for sheer, hot rod coolness, you’ve definitely found some in the Jeep Quicksand concept from 2017. Built both to showcase Mopar crate engines and to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Jeep Cherokee Sport, the Quicksand concept was a very sweet mashup of the front end of a Jeep Wrangler and the heavily modified rear roof of a 1993 Jeep Cherokee two-door that had lost its door pillars and fenders to become sort of a hardtop wagon. Bringing the vroom-vroom under the hood was a 392-cubic-inch Hemi V8 crate engine topped with eight gasser-style velocity stacks and mated to a six-speed manual. Featuring plenty of racing touches, like the bronze-painted racing wheels with knock-off spinners and the Moon-style tank up front, the Quicksand was one go-getter. Jeep Wagoneer Roadtrip 2018 While not a concept vehicle built from the ground up like some of the Jeeps on this list, the Wagoneer Roadtrip concept vehicle from Moab 2018 is one smooth customer that showcases both where the Jeep brand came from and where they are going. After buying a low-mileage survivor 1965 Jeep Wagoneer, Jeep took the body off the original frame and then went to town upgrading it to the absolute limit of power, capability and refinement, painting it a lovely shade of light mint green, installing a Wrangler frame underneath with a lift kit, Dana axles, a modern Hemi V8, and 33-inch tires mounted on machined and painted cream alloy smoothies for simple, old school cool. Jeepster 2018 Also from 2018 is another Jeep concept based on a cool, classic Jeep design, the Jeepster Concept. An updated take on the classic styling and paint scheme of the rare 1966 Jeepster roadster, the Jeepster concept featured two-toned red and white paint, a one-off top with a raked windshield and steeply canted rear glass, plus a full roll cage, a two-inch lift and 47-inch tires on beadlock rims. Jeep Crew Chief 715 2016 Evoking Jeep’s long, long history of military service is the Jeep Crew Chief 715 from 2016. Though it looks to be another concept based on the classic Jeep Gladiator pickup like the J-12 concept, the Crew Chief 715 is actually a modern take on the Kaiser Jeep M715 military chassis from the early and mid 1960s. With a stretched Wrangler four-door chassis underneath and a custom 6-foot truck bed, the Crew Chief 715 featured an appropriately bare-bones interior and unique military-style touches everywhere, including O.D. Green paint, the old-style convertible top with pronounced top bows, a lack of roll-up windows, and narrow, 40-inch military-style tires. If the incredible Jeep concepts on this list don’t get you itching for the driver’s seat of a new Jeep Wrangler, Cherokee or Renegade, there’s clearly no hope for you.

Click here to shop our selection of Adventure Ready Jeep vehicl es Kings River Falls Near Boston, Arkansas Though it’s only about 50 miles long from source to end, the Kings River in Madison and Carroll counties is one of the great natural jewels of northwest Arkansas. Fed by pentiful springs in the area, the Kings River includes one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the state, the graceful, multi-spouted Kings River Falls near Boston. The river and land around the falls is so lovely that back in 1971, it was declared it the Kings River Falls Nature Area to protect the spot. It’s a great place to swim, contemplate, or just drink in the beauty of Northwest Arkansas. Buffalo National River A favorite for summertime camping, hiking, swimming and canoeing, the pristine beauty of the Buffalo River was so legendary that a plan to damn it to create a reservoir and lake in the 1960s was met with public resistance so fierce that it led to its designation as the Buffalo National River in 1972. America’s first National River, the Buffalo flows freely its entire length, making it one of only a handful of unobstructed rivers still remaining in the continental U.S. The crystal clear, spring fed river has something for every kind of nature lover, from giant limestone bluffs, to rapids, to gravel beaches, to deep, calm swimming holes. Hawksbill Crag, A.K.A. Whitaker Point Near Ponca, Arkansas Offering one of the most spectacular vistas in all of Northwest Arkansas, Whitaker Point, also known as Hawksbill Crag, is a single limestone point that juts majestically out over the abyss near Ponca, with a drop of hundreds of feet to the valley below. It’s understandably a favorite for romantic kisses and wedding proposals, especially during the spectacular sunsets available to the west and during the fall colors. Be careful, though: when you’re on the point there’s literally nothing that stands between you and a Wile E. Coyote splat other than thin air. The natural bridge at Alum Cove Geologic Area Near Jasper, Arkansas There are several “natural bridges” in Arkansas: rock formations that, through wind, rain and natural weathering over millions of years, have become natural arches. One of the most spectacular natural bridges in the state can be found at Alum Cove Geologic Area near Jasper. Once a quartz sandstone cave, at some point over the eons, the roof of the cave collapsed, leaving the massive opening arch, which is 130 feet long and 20 feet wide, There are guardrails along the edges of the natural bridge at Alum Cove, so visitors can actually walk across it safely. From the highway, you’ve got to hike an easy trail for about a half-mile to view the arch, so bring your hiking boots. Beckham Creek Cave Lodge Near Parthenon, Arkansas Let’s call this a natural wonder thanks to a collaboration between man and Mother Nature. Built in 1984 inside a naturally occurring limestone cave as a shelter against an apocalypse Celestial Seasonings Tea Company millionaire John Hays felt was sure to come, the Beckham Creek Cave Lodge is the only space inside a cave in Arkansas that’s available for rent by the night. This is not “Flintstones” cave, either, luxury accommodations include an upper level sitting room, a fully stocked kitchen, Jacuzzi tub and a heliport. Break your piggybank, though: rates start at $1,200 per night. If you’ve got a hankering to get out there and find adventure this summer, come see us at McLarty Daniel CDJR.

An important thing to consider when you’re thinking about buying a RAM Truck is the kind of wheels it will have. Usually, you will have two great options to choose from and McLarty Daniel Bentonville is here to help you decide. So, how exactly does one decide between a 17-inch argent steel wheel and a 17-inch aluminum wheel? Well, it depends on what kinds of activities you plan on doing in your pickup. If you’re truck is going to be used for mostly on-road activities, like traveling, the best choice is aluminum. This lightweight wheel is strong and resistant to corrosion. They’re not recommended for off-roading or towing heavy loads, and they’re available on RAM 2500 and 3500 dual rear wheel trucks, as well as Tradesmen, Outdoorsman, and SLT trim levels. The 18-inch steel wheel offers the same benefits on a larger scale. The 17-inch argent steel wheels are great for off-roading and hauling heavy loads. They come with improve malleability and strength to prevent chipping and resist bending and wobble. Their small size offers plenty of room for big off-road tires, and they’re the real “workhorse” of the RAM wheel lineup. If you want your wheels to be noticed when you’re driving around town, choose the stunning RAM 20-inch aluminum wheels. However, they can have some impact on ride quality, performance and handling. RAM has downplayed this effect with its four-corner air suspension on the RAM 1500, making the difference between 20-inch and smaller wheels almost nonexistent. If you have any questions feel free to ask the experts at our RAM parts and accessories center. Or you can contact McLarty Daniel – Bentonville by phone or just swing by our convenient Bentonville, AR location.

It’s been nearly three decades since Chrysler brought the minivan to it’s line up. While this type of family-friendly vehicle is well known today, thirty years ago the idea was relatively new. Of course we’re talking about the Town & Country. To honor the occasion, the automaker is releasing special edition models for all of us in Bentonville, AR to enjoy, and get plenty of use out of. We will see both the Chrysler Town & Country and its Dodge counterpart – the Grand Caravan – with 30th Anniversary Editions for the 2014 model year. Both of these vans will have standard features including a 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 that produces 283 horsepower, along with 17-inch aluminum wheels. Chrysler will take the celebratory editions a step further with additional trims including the SE, with an interior with piano-black, silver-accent stitching, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, plus chrome switchgear and available satellite radio. On the SXT, there are suede and leatherette seats, a 10-way power driver’s seat, and more chrome accents. Needless to say, it will be impressive, and show us that the minivan has come a long way since it first arrived on the scene. To test drive a Town & Country or Grand Caravan today just stop by McLarty Daniel Bentonville. We’d be happy to continue the conversation, and provide you with all the details on the spacious and versatile vehicle.

The Jeep Wrangler is without a doubt, one of the off road brands most popular models. However, with the increasing need to produce vehicles that offer drivers better fuel economy, Chrysler is considering make some alterations to the iconic Jeep to help it achieve that goal. As of this blog post, the Wrangler gets an average of 21 miles per gallon, and in order for it to adhere to Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards (CAFÉ), it needs to increase that number. AutoPacific Inc. analyst Dave Sullivan says that, “There’s nothing that’s going to be immune from the wrath of CAFE as we move forward. The Wrangler is a very high volume vehicle so it’s definitely going to have an ffect on CAFE. They’re going to wait as long as possible before they have to make those changes, but that being said they have a whole arsenal of things they can do.” 1 That could mean that more hydrogen and electric vehicles are in the future for the Jeep brand. Since it will be a government requirement for all vehicles across a company’s model lineup to have an average fuel economy of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025, we may see these alternative fuels make an appearance sooner than later. For now though, these are just rumors. As the CAFÉ standards requirements come closer and closer to becoming mandatory, we’ll be reporting on the changes to the new Jeep lineup available here at McLarty Daniel – Bentonville. More Info

This summer, the X Games has been spanning the globe showcasing the best of the best in adventure sports. While it might seem like it’s just for skateboarders, there’s much more, including vehicles of the four- and two-wheeled variety. Today, we’d like to discuss the latter category as Dodge was involved in capturing a podium finish at X Games Los Angeles. Moto X made its return to the X games for the first time since 2010, and Dodge, partnered with Suzuki motorbikes saw their entry take home the silver medal in the final. It was a pretty exciting race to watch, as the Dodge bike had the lead for most on the tight and complicated track, which was housed in the Staples Center in LA, and fitted with big jumps, rollers and whoops sections. With 12 riders vying for X Games glory, it certainly is a track where riders must be aggressive and defensive at the same time, and that made for a pretty gnarly scene. We were definitely impressed by it at McLarty Daniel – Bentonville, and though we don’t have motorbikes in our showroom, the new Dodge lineup certainly has loads of appeal. Models like the Dart (a X Games RallyCross participant) and Charger have plenty of zip and are fun to drive on the open road. To learn more, stop in and see us in our Bentonville, AR showroom today. Our team is happy to provide you with all the necessary details, answer questions, and arrange test drives at your convenience.

American automaker Chrysler recently added to its support of the United States’ economy be revealed its almost completely 425,000-square-foot paint facility next to its current Sterling Heights, MI Assembly Plant. The paint plant is the automaker’s first in over two decades, and it’s a great sign of what the company has accomplished over the past few years. Only a few years ago, many American automakers were in trouble during the recession. In fact, the Sterling plant was slated to close in 2010. Now, however, it’s adding the new paint plant onto the current building, and the project is 85 percent complete. Chrysler officials have stated that the new facility is “spotless,” and they expect it to stay that way after operations begin. Though the Sterling plant next door currently builds the Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200, the company won’t say which vehicles will be painted next door, stating that it’s top secret at the moment. 450 people will receive jobs at the new plant, and the vehicles painted there will undergo three phases of paint work. First, they’ll receive a base coat, then a micro coat and then a clear coat. For more interesting updates from the Chrysler company, be sure to stay tuned with our blog.

you may remember earlier this year hearing about the possibility of a diesel powered RAM truck making its way to the showroom floor here at Landers-McLarty. Well the time has come and the 2014 RAM 1500 is here with the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 that also powered the diesel version of the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The diesel powered 1500 will offer drivers 240 horsepower and 420 pound feet of torque, which compared to the Hemi V8 may appear to be low, but fear not. The diesel 1500 is fully capable of producing the same towing ability as the V8, with the added benefit of increased fuel efficiency. Hard numbers on the fuel economy have not been released, but we’ll be sure to post them right here when they are. Pricing for the RAM 1500 V-6  EcoDiesel will be an additional $2,850 on top of the $25,395 base price. Bringing the total of the diesel 1500 to  $28,245. If you’re looking for a more traditional fuel powered truck, you can also opt for the 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 engine or the Pentastar V6 engine, all of which come with an 8 speed automatic transmission.
