If you're a Los Angeles area driver looking for a spacious vehicle for work, play, or a mix of both, the Jeep and Ram line-ups have plenty to offer. However, because there are so many options, you might need assistance deciding the right one. Van Nuys Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is excited to offer a wide selection of Jeep Gladiator, Ram 1500, and Wagoneer vehicles. While these compelling vehicles have a broad spectrum of trims and upgrades, they each favor different targeted usage styles.
Jeep Gladiator: The Adventurous Option
The Jeep Gladiator mid-size pickup truck stands out from other vehicles in its class because of its unique design philosophy, as it asks and demonstrates what a Jeep Wrangler would be like if it had a pickup truck bed. The answer is a unique spin on the off-road vehicle and the pickup truck.
The 4x4-exclusive Gladiator features a fierce 285 horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar® V6 engine under the hood that helps it pull off a 1,100 lbs. payload and get 6,000 lbs. of towing. Additionally, the included Command-Trac® part-time selectable 4x4 is useful whenever driving conditions are less than cooperative.
It features a 60.3-inch cargo bed, 35.5 cubic feet of cargo volume, and seating for 5. Standard amenities include a durable steel bed with a three-position tailgate, Trail Rated® 4x4-capability, removable doors, and cloth seating. Drivers looking for a luxurious upgrade can check out the available leather seating whereas off-road warriors can choose from Off-Road+, Trailcam, and the Rock-Trac® heavy-duty 4x4.
Ram 1500: A Proper Workhorse
The Ram 1500 is a full-size truck designed to tackle tough jobs and is impressively capable of having fun. Drivers have three engines to choose from with this truck:
A 305-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastart® V6 with a 2,370 lbs. maximum payload and up to 8,110 lbs. towing capacity
A 420-horsepower 3.0-liter Hurricane engine that has a 1,980 lbs. maximum payload and up to 11,500 lbs. towing capacity
A high-output version of the Hurricane engine pushes 540 horsepower, 1,520 lbs. maximum payload, and a 9,920 lbs. towing capacity
Ram 1500 drivers can choose from 5'7" and 6'4" boxes with 53.9 and 61.5 cubic feet of cargo volume. The 6-seater Quad Cab and Crew Cab configurations also have 117 and 132 cubic feet of passenger space, respectively.
The Tradesman® trim features many useful features like a Uconnect® 5 infotainment system, a Class IV trailer hitch, Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, and LaneSense®. You can get a Ram 1500 with luxury features, such as heated and ventilated 24-way power-adjustable leather front seating and a 23-speaker Klipsch audio system.
Jeep Wagoneer: The Luxury Option
This full-size luxury SUV doesn't cut any corners. It features a 420-horsepower 3.0-liter twin-turbo Hurricane inline-6 engine with a 6,120 lbs. towing capacity and a 1,550 lbs. payload capacity. With seating for up to 8 occupants and 116.7 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats down, this SUV can comfortably carry friends and family around town and easily fit a new large-screen TV if needed.
