The 2011 Jeep Liberty: Big 4-wheel Capabilities in a Smaller Package.

If your looking for everything good that owning a Jeep has to offer but want to drive a small to mid-sized SUV, then the 2011 Jeep Liberty will have everything you need in a vehicle.

The 2011 Liberty’s 3.7-liter V6 produces 210 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 235 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm and combined with the 4-speed automatic transmission give you an ideal drive-train for on-road, off-road and towing.

The Electronic Stability Control combines ABS brakes, All-Speed Traction Control and a stability system to give you the all-season capability of front-wheel drive with the performance of rear-wheel drive. It determines when to apply the brakes to one or more wheels, and when to reduce engine torque in critical driving situations. As always, performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect so stay alert and always be careful not to overdrive conditions..

This electronically controlled full-time 4WD system allows the driver to choose between two-wheel-drive or full-time four-wheel-drive (4WD Auto) modes. In 4WD Auto, Selec-Trac II® sends torque to both front and rear axles under nearly all conditions. If wheel slippage occurs, the integrated traction control system helps transfer torque to those wheels with traction. Neutral mode permits flat towing without the need to disconnect linkages. Selec-Trac is a registered trademark of Chrysler Group LLC

The 2011 Liberty’s Antilock brakes are equipped with electronic sensors that prevent wheel lockup, offering improved steering control under extreme braking or slippery conditions. Traction control uses sensors to determine how fast each wheel is turning. If the sensors indicate a certain wheel slipping during acceleration, the system applies braking power to that wheel to help it regain traction.

The Liberty is equipped with a transmission skid plate, fuel tank skid plate, transfer case skid plate and front suspension skid plate designed for maximum protection when the undercarriage is exposed to rocks or other debris encountered in off-road conditions.

You’ll find the interior of the 2011 Liberty to be technologically advanced as well as cargo friendly. Power heated exterior mirrors w/manual fold-away and power windows with driver's one-touch-down feature are plus for any vehicle. There’s the Electronic Vehicle Information Center and Media Center 130 with CD/MP3 radio, SIRIUS Satellite Radio and Audio Jack. Uconnect™ voice command of hands free phone and music, is available on select models.

Front passenger fold-flat forward seat and rear 60 / 40 split-folding reclining seat make loading and hauling cargo a breeze. If you need big-time 4 wheel drive capabilities in a small to mid-sized SUV, then you should come in and drive the 2011 Jeep Liberty. You won’t be disappointed.

With the New 2011 Dodge Challenger… Everything Retro is New Again.

The release 2011 Dodge Challenger is obviously a big event for the Muscle Car enthusiast but this vehicle is truly a car for anyone interested in head-turning style and 21st century technology.

First, for those interested in pure power, the 2011 Challenger will get a 6.4L Hemi boasting around 500bhp and be more fuel efficient than the 6.1L unit currently found in the 2010 Dodge Challenger. More power with more fuel economy… that’s a win-win for the acceleration junkies.
The long-hood, short-deck shape, wide grille, graceful roofline, and full-width tail lamps will continue to honor the 1970 Challenger two-door coupe. Challenger is significantly larger than the Mustang and Camaro competitors and the payoff is the softest ride, widest cockpit, and roomiest rear seat in the class. In fact, Challenger is the only one of the three that has seating positions for five passengers instead of four. This will give Challenger a broader appeal for the family man that still wants to drive something cool.

The 2011 Challenger will retain its rear-wheel-drive layout but the hot new 3.6-liter dubbed the “Pentastar” V-6 will be a welcome addition to powertrain options. Debuting in the all-new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee, it’s an advanced dual-overhead cam design with variable valve timing and is initially rated at 280 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque.

Head-protecting curtain side airbags for both seating rows will be standard. Same for a manual tilt/telescope steering wheel, power driver’s seat, and a split rear seat back that folds to create a cargo-passage from the trunk. The 2011 Challenger’s five-speed automatic transmission will again feature a separate gate for manual-type gear changes, while the six-speed manual’s lever will again be topped with a 1970s-style pistol-grip handle.

Other returning options will include a power sunroof, remote engine start for automatic-transmission models, and xenon headlamps and a functional hood scoop for R/T models. SRT8 models come with xenons, function hood scoops, leather upholstery, special sport bucket front seats, and dashboard readouts that track 0-60-mph acceleration times, lateral G-forces, and other lead-foot data. Leather upholstery will return as an option on SE and R/T models, accompanied by heated front seats and mirrors. Also available again will be a voice-activated navigation system with real-time traffic information; Chrysler’s Uconnect multimedia system that includes USB iPod interface and steering-wheel audio controls; and sound systems that range to a 368-watt setup with seven Boston Acoustic speakers.

The 2011 Dodge Challenger will be hitting the showroom floors quickly and hitting the streets even faster. It’s sure to take you back to the future in a heartbeat.
