You’ve decided on the vehicle you want, but do you want to buy or lease it? Leasing vs buying is one of the oldest decisions for a driver to make. They’re both good options. As your CDJR dealership, we’d like to give you some advice on these two options that may help to make your choice clearer.
Leasing vs Buying: Advice From Your CDJR Dealership
Is Ownership Important?
If you buy the vehicle, it becomes your property. You have the title deed, and it’s an asset of yours. You can choose to sell it, trade it, gift it, or donate it when you want a new vehicle. You can also use it as surety for a loan if you choose.
If you lease the vehicle, it’s not yours. At the end of the lease term, you have the option to buy it or take out a lease on another vehicle.

Powerful Performance and Off-Road Capabilities
The Ram 1500 has two engine options to choose from. The first is a 3.6L PENTASTAR V6 with eTorque, with 305 horsepower, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The other option is the 5.7L V8, also with eight-speed transmission. The Ram 1500 TRX model features a third engine option. This impressive model features a Supercharged 6.2L HEMI V8 engine, which is touted as the most powerful factory-installed engine in its class.
The Ram 1500 boasts an impressive maximum towing capacity of 12,750 pounds when equipped with the 5.7L HEMI V8 engine. If you prefer the more spacious crew cab models of the 1500, you’ll still enjoy more than 11,500 pounds of towing capacity. A 98 percent high-strength steel frame and optional upgrades like all-terrain tires, heavy-duty shocks, and a raised ride height can help this truck tackle any road, no matter how rugged.

Transmission problems have an undeserved reputation for being expensive and taking a long time to fix. In the vast majority of cases, our skilled technicians can repair the problem quickly and inexpensively if they start work when the problem first appears. As your Dodge dealer, we’d like you to know some signs you need to visit us for a transmission repair.
Signs You Need a Transmission Repair at Your Dodge Dealer
Shaking or Shuddering
When you have an automatic transmission, the transmission computer controls the shifting of the gears. As you step on the accelerator, the engine produces more power, and the transmission shifts to allow the wheels to move faster. When you decelerate, the transmission once again downshifts. These movements should happen quickly and smoothly.
If you feel a slight shaking or shuddering from the transmission as it shifts, it’s time to visit our service department right away. Shaking or shuddering are signs that something is wrong in the transmission and needs to be fixed. Very often, this situation is caused by low transmission fluid, and we can quickly solve it by checking for any fluid leaks and then refilling the transmission. If the issue is caused by worn or damaged components, we can fix that too.
Does Your CDJR Vehicle Need a Radiator Repair?
Your Jeep’s radiator works continually to control your engine temperature. Your engine needs to be hot enough to work efficiently but not hot enough to cause damage. In time, your radiator can become damaged, and you’ll need to visit your Jeep dealer for a radiator repair. These are a few of the signs that your radiator has a problem.
Signs You Need a Radiator Repair at Your Jeep Dealer
Damaged Radiator Cap
The radiator cap’s most important function is to maintain high pressure in the cooling system. High pressure in the system is essential as the coolant must be able to move quickly to absorb and remove heat. Heat generates pressure, and if the pressure inside the system rises too high, the radiator cap temporarily opens to bleed off the excess pressure.
The cap is tightly screwed into the top of your radiator, and it has two seals that ensure that it has an airtight fit. Air in the cooling system will reduce the pressure and will create air bubbles that can block the hoses and tubes. Constant heat and pressure can damage the seals over time, and coolant can leak out. We’ll examine the radiator cap and replace any damaged seals to fix this problem.

External Tire Damage
Clear signs of damage to tires should never be ignored. While inspecting your tires, always check for cuts, gashes, embedded objects, or excessive cracks in the sidewalls. Any of these problems can make a tire unsafe and should be brought to the attention of a trusted technician.
Bulges and blusters are another sign of potentially significant damage. A bulge on the outer layer of rubber often means that internal layers of rubber have ruptured or detached. This kind of internal damage almost always makes a tire dangerous to use.
