The Dodge Ram HD Is More Capable
Ram drivers are still reeling after the 2018 Auto Show when the 2019 Ram was first introduced. 2018 brought the first major change to the design of the iconic Ram truck. Now, Ram is preparing for the 2020 model which will feature the latest interior technologies and an increase in power. On the inside, the Ram HD is equipped with a 12.0-inch driver infotainment system, which is easy to read and has navigation capabilities.
The 2020 Ram 1500 is powered with a 6.7-liter Cummins turbo diesel engine with 400 horsepower and 1,000 pound-feet of torque. It has a towing capacity of 35,100 pounds and a maximum payload of 7,680 pounds. There will also be a diesel engine option available that comes with a smaller engine, a 6.4-liter HEMI V-8 with 410 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque. Retractable corner steps will make it easier to access your truck bed contents.

The Dodge Durango Is Preparing for a Major Re-Design
The Dodge Durango also made a quiet appearance at the Detroit Auto Show. It is gearing up for a major redesign come 2021, meaning the 2020 model is your last chance to purchase it as it stands. The new driver infotainment system is slightly larger with a more user-friendly interface.
The exterior of the 2020 Durango is minimally changed from the 2019 model. However, we can expect to see more changes before it officially hits dealership floors. We can expect Dodge designers to use it to test out potential major changes that will come with the 2021 Durango model. The engine setup is the same as previous models which includes a standard 3.6-liter V-6, a 5.7-liter V-8, and the SRT model which features a 6.4-liter V-8 which produces 475 horsepower.

The Jeep Gladiator Is the First Open-Air Truck
The Jeep Gladiator had already attracted a lot of attention prior to its official unveiling at the Detroit Auto Show. This Jeep paired with a truck design has a best-in-class towing of 7,650 pounds and a payload of 1,600 pounds. It is powered with a 3.0-liter diesel engine.
It is the unique design that has everyone talking about the Jeep Gladiator. Jeep has already created a reputation for its impeccable off-roading capabilities. The 2020 Gladiator will offer those same off-roading abilities but with the durability of a truck with a flatbed design and a top-down driving experience. It is expected to be a popular purchase, being the only open-air truck in the market.
The Detroit Auto Show gave us a sneak peek of what we can expect for 2020. Drivers all over look forward to the release of the first open-air truck and the powerful Dodge Ram HD. In the meantime, come by Bill Snethkamp CDJR today to check out our 2019 lineup.
