Will It Tow? The Towing Power of a 2024 RAM 3500 HD

Towing capabilities can differ significantly depending on a truck's class, model, and manufacturer. Yet, with some straightforward tips, you can tow almost anything with confidence. Interested in what you can haul with the 2024 RAM 3500 HD’s remarkable 37,000 lb. towing capacity? Keep reading for vital towing advice and explore the exciting possibilities that come with your new truck! Towing Safety Towing safety begins with understanding your vehicle’s towing capacity, the maximum weight it can pull safely. This varies by configuration, load, and trailer weight distribution. Manufacturer-provided capacities often assume only the driver is in the vehicle, so adjust for extra passengers and cargo. To calculate towing capacity, know your vehicle’s gross combined weight rating (GCWR) and curb weight. Subtract curb weight from GCWR, maintaining a 10% safety margin for shifting loads and sudden stops. Understand the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), which includes the vehicle’s weight with passengers, fuel, cargo, and tongue weight. Exceeding the GVWR risks mechanical failure and legal issues. Familiarize yourself with terms like braked vs. unbraked towing capacity, gross axle weight rating (GAWR), and payload capacity. Use your vehicle’s correct trailer hitch class and load for control and safety. Following these guidelines ensures a safe and efficient towing experience. What Will You Tow? With a top towing limit of 37,000 lbs., the 2024 3500 HD can tow almost anything! Camping and Travel For those passionate about the outdoors and the open road, the RAM 3500 HD can help you bring the best in comfort along for the ride. With its powerful tow limit, you’ll pull even the largest, heaviest RVs – practically a second home. Travel comfortably, easily towing 42’ RVs that can reach upwards of 12,000 base weight and plenty of room for all your belongings. Hobbies and Sports Fill your weekends with all your fun outdoor hobbies with the 2024 RAM 3500 HD. Whether you’re into motocross, equestrian sports, boating and sailing, or an exciting drive through the countryside on an ATV, you’ll tow it all. A four-horse gooseneck trailer weighs between 4,200 to 8,400 lbs empty. Add in a fully loaded stock with hay, horses, and gear, you’re looking at roughly 14,000lbs, with plenty of room to spare. On the other end of the heaviest towable vehicles, a cabin cruiser motorized boat in the medium can reach 35 feet and as high as 16,000 lbs. Those numbers are no match for your towing capacity and the Blind Spot Monitoring helps make the trip from home to your favorite shore smooth sailing. The Sky’s the Limit! After exploring some everyday towing scenarios, what bold towing venture will you consider next? How about towing a personal aircraft? Small planes typically weigh about 13,000 lbs. While you might need a wide load permit, weight isn’t the primary issue here. If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, you could even tow elephants, multiple pickup trucks, or construction equipment like small bulldozers and medium backhoes. The possibilities truly know no bounds! Choose a Truck that Goes the Extra Mile. Choose Dodge RAM Tow with confidence, letting nothing get in your way from this day forward with Dodge RAM’s 3500 HD. At Savage L&B we have a large variety of trucks in trims to fit your needs – whether you need a full-size high-power workhorse for heavy towing and payloads or something that’s more city-friendly but still gets the job done. Visit our dealership and test drive the 2024 RAM 1500 today! Contact our dealership to special order a 2024 RAM 3500 HD for all of your heavy duty jobs and we'll be happy to help you get into your dream car. Our team is eager to get you into the truck of your dreams with frighteningly good incentives and specials, unbeatable financing, and top-quality service!

National Preparedness Month 2024: Your Guide to Vehicle Disaster Readiness

September is National Preparedness Month, promoting emergency readiness. Started by FEMA in 2004, it helps individuals, families, businesses, and communities handle emergencies. With Americans spending about 18 days on the road each year, vehicle preparedness is crucial. Be ready for accidents, breakdowns, and other incidents! Why Vehicle Disaster Preparedness Matters Driving is one of the most dangerous daily activities. Statistics show that road accidents are common, and breakdowns can occur unexpectedly. Being prepared can make a significant difference in how you handle these situations, ensuring safety and peace of mind. Essential Steps to Prepare Your Vehicle for Emergencies Safety involves minimizing risks and avoiding hazardous situations, providing peace of mind by instilling confidence that emergencies can be handled effectively. This approach also enhances efficiency by reducing downtime and enabling a quicker return to the road. 1. Choose a Bag Choose a durable, high-capacity bag to store your emergency supplies. A duffel bag or a specialized bag like the RUSH LBD Lima, with 56L of capacity and shoulder straps, is ideal for this purpose. Keep it in an easily accessible location, like your trunk or behind your rear seats. 2. Pack Tools Equip your vehicle with versatile tools for minor repairs and emergencies: Multitool: Essential for minor fixes; consider one with a glass breaker for emergencies. Seatbelt Cutter: Keep within arm's reach for a quick escape if needed. Recovery Tools: A folding E-Tool or small shovel can help you get unstuck from sand or mud. Illumination: Headlamps and handheld lights for nighttime repairs. Road Flares: Ensure you're visible to other drivers during roadside emergencies. Fire Extinguisher: A Class A, B, and C-rated extinguisher can save lives and property. 3. Don't Forget Supplies Stock your vehicle with essential supplies: Water: For hydration and as a temporary substitute for radiator fluid (research how to do this safely). Gas Can: For emergencies and extending your range; never store a filled can inside your vehicle. Medical Supplies: Basic first aid kit, including bandages, antiseptic, and a tourniquet. 4. Cover and Protection Prepare for the elements and manual tasks: Poncho: Keep dry during roadside repairs. Masks: For unexpected needs. Gloves: Protect your hands during repairs. Warm Clothes: A change of warm clothing can be a lifesaver. Footwear: Keep sturdy, waterproof boots in your vehicle. Join the Community Effort National Preparedness Month is a collaborative effort involving government agencies, nonprofit organizations, businesses, schools, and communities across the nation. This year's theme, "Start a Conversation," encourages discussing emergency preparedness with family and friends. Set aside time to talk about steps you've taken to prepare and encourage others to ask questions and share their own preparedness actions. Protect Yourself on the Road with the Right Car Preparing your vehicle for emergencies is a crucial step in ensuring your safety on the road. Use the tips above to gather supplies and create a properly stocked vehicle disaster kit. For more resources and information on preparing for emergencies, visit Ready.gov. Make sure you're also driving a vehicle that's ready for anything nature can throw at you. With the help of Savage L&B, you can have a new vehicle with enough room for any extensive preparedness kit along with great safety features to keep you safe on your day-to-day drive. Dump your old deathtrap and choose something that's surefooted and dependable on the road today with Savage L&B.

Five Facts About Jeep You May Not Have Known

Exploring the world in a Jeep is an exhilarating experience that transcends the road itself. By becoming a Jeep owner, you join a close-knit community of off-road enthusiasts. Move over, Taylor Swift and her "Swifties" - the Jeep Club is the most coveted group to be associated with in 2024. Each year, nearly one million brand-new Jeeps are sold, demonstrating the lasting appeal of the brand. However, even after 80 years, there are still intriguing aspects of Jeep's history that continue to puzzle. At Savage L&B, we uncover the mysteries with five lesser-known Jeep facts. The Origins of Its Name Are Unclear It's not hard to deduce how Ford, the brainchild of Henry Ford himself, got its name. Likewise, Buick, Chevrolet, and other auto brand names derived from their founders' surnames. But the true origins of the name "Jeep" are still a bit mysterious. The prevailing theory proposes that it came from the phonetic rendition of "GP," short for "General Purpose." This was the term applied to World War II vehicles with no specific purpose. It's quite plausible that soldiers started referring to these vehicles as such, and the shorthand ultimately became the standard. But then, it’s just as possible that Jeep is named after a 1930’s Popeye comic strip character. Eugene the Jeep was Popeye's magical companion, bestowed with the ability to traverse any place at any time; maybe soldiers linked its spectacular mobility with their versatile, all-terrain general purpose vehicles? Regardless of how Jeep first became Jeep, the name has since become synonymous with automotive freedom. It also isn't going anywhere. They Were Used as Train Cars in WWII Jeep was founded in 1941, just as America was readying itself to enter World War II. As mentioned earlier, Jeeps were classified as "General Purpose" vehicles during the war. But was the Jeep designated as such because it lacked a specific purpose or identity? Or was it labeled as such because it possessed the versatility to handle a wide range of tasks? The military clearly believed the latter, as Jeeps became some of their most extensively utilized vehicles throughout the war. In fact, Jeep was bestowed with a Purple Heart for their contribution to the war effort. A notable advantage of Jeeps was their ability to travel on railroad tracks, allowing the formation of "Jeep trains." These converted railways enabled the transportation of up to 10 tons, ensuring smooth supply lines. The Jeeps' versatility in seamlessly transitioning between railway and conventional wheels made them an indispensable asset. The Seven-Slot Grille Once Had 13 Slots Jeep is widely recognized for its iconic seven-slot grille that has become synonymous with the brand. However, determining the optimal number of slots was a gradual process for the engineers. The 1940 Jeep boasted a grille with 13 slots, perhaps an homage to the original number of United States colonies. However, the designers quickly began reducing the slots in order to achieve a sleeker design. By 1943, the Jeep grille showcased a mere nine slots, eventually evolving into the iconic seven-slot grille that has become synonymous with the brand. This distinct design element became firmly established by the close of World War II in 1945. The Color of Jeep is Trash That’s not a knock – it's just very literal! The Anvil Jeep color took direct inspiration from a trash can in the Jeep design studio. It became such a hit that it was eventually used for the Jeep Wrangler JK. Take this to heart the next time someone calls your own work trash. It’s More Than a Vehicle Brand – It's a Family Sport In 1953, a man named Mark A. Smith organized the first Jeep trek across the Rubicon Trail. This became a tradition, eventually dubbed Jeep Jamborees. Fast-forward to today, where the spiritual successor to these Jamborees exists in the form of Jeeping, a modern term that involves using Jeeps for off-road sport. Exploring the great outdoors through Jeeping is an adventurous activity that the whole family can enjoy. Navigating cliff sides, tackling steep inclines, and conquering off-road trails enables you to fully experience the impressive power and capability of your Jeep. Plus, it's a fantastic opportunity to fill out the family photo album. Jump Into a Jeep Today Now that you've received your crash course in Jeep lore, there's only one thing standing in your way of becoming an true expert: the keys to your own Jeep vehicle. Pay us a visit at Savage L&B today and we’ll help change that.

5 Auto Tips That Will Make You Feel Like MacGyver

Car ownership is exciting, but like anything worthwhile in life, it comes with a huge amount of responsibility. Issues can accumulate if gone unchecked, making diligent maintenance a must. While you should of course make regular appointments with our service department at Savage L&B, the health and ultimately the lifespan of your vehicle can be further extended if you take it upon yourself to handle some of the dirty work. Thankfully, there are several thrifty ways to engage in car maintenance from the comfort of your own home. Not only will it not break the bank – everything you need can most likely be found in your kitchen and bathroom closets. Like television’s MacGyver, who innately turned household items into crucial tools, you'll soon feel like the savviest DIY mechanic out there. Vinegar is the Best Way to Handle Windshield Ice Anyone who’s spent time in the Berks County area knows how tedious starting your commute can be in the frosty early hours of an autumn morning. When you're greeted by an especially thick layer of frost or ice on your windshield, the defrosting process can turn glacial, leaving you out in the cold and potentially putting your morning schedule on ice. You’d think pouring hot water on your windshield would provide a swift solution, but doing so harms your windshield’s health in the long run. Instead, try using a mixture of one cup lukewarm water and one cup white vinegar. The white vinegar cuts through dirt, oil, and other gunk, getting rid of windshield haze. Maximize your visibility by cleaning both the exterior and interior of the windshield. Toothpaste is an Effective Headlight Cleaner It makes sense the more you think about it! After all, you (hopefully) brush every day, and the enamel of your teeth is never in jeopardy of being scratched or chipped. When your headlights get overly dirty or foggy, toothpaste is abrasive enough to clean them without causing any damage. Depending on the condition of your headlights, a stronger alternative may be needed – but before you shell out for any processed chemicals, try the toothpaste scrub! Afterwards, gently rinse your headlights down with water and a rag. (If you don't have toothpaste handy, baking soda is a suitably abrasive substitute. But... you should probably have toothpaste handy). Use Nail Polish to Prevent Cracks from Spreading Vinegar, toothpaste, and now nail polish? Mr. MacGyver (what is his first name anyway?) would be proud. It's alarming when your new Pacifica 's windshield takes a hit from a rock on the highway - but if it leaves only a minor blemish, crisis has surely been avoided, right? When your windshield takes any sort of minimal impact, the surface damage may not be cause for concern... at first. Unfortunately, minor chips and nicks can schism into long cracks that spread across the surface of your windshield, leading to costly repair. Before those cracks can multiply, simply apply nail polish to the dinged area. Nail polish acts as an adhesive that should keep the cracks contained – and if you’re able to find the right color, it can do so without causing any cosmetic aberrations. (For this reason, nail polish also functions as a great scratch remover when your paint gets scraped. Just make sure to clean the area before applying.) Use a Plunger to Remove Dents Just like with tiny cracks and scratches, there’s no reason to book it to your local garage the moment minor dents materialize on your car. In fact, most small dents can be fixed with less effort than it takes to un-clog a toilet. Simply stick a plunger on the dented area, pull back, and watch as the plunger’s suction pulls the dented part of the panel back in place. Even Mario would be impressed. If you require further instructions, see this video, where these guys appear delightfully surprised by the outcome. Dust the Interior with Coffee Filters The lint-free material of coffee filters is perfect for wiping down your dashboard, infotainment console, and other areas of your car’s interior. The filters are inexpensive and are generally sold in bulk, allowing you to thoroughly wiped down every cranny. Lint, crumbs, and other materials gradually build up in your car’s interior; keeping a pack of coffee filters handy in your glove compartment can help combat this - regardless of whether or not you prefer to start your mornings with a cup of joe. Mission Accomplished There you have it: five easy, inexpensive ways to keep your car happy and healthy. If you’re short on any of the materials listed, consider a trip to Reading’s Fairgrounds Farmers Market, an ideal destination during the holiday season. And as always, we’re here at Savage L&B to help keep your road ahead smooth. When your maintenance job becomes too large to handle on your own, schedule a service appointment with Robesonia’s number one dealership.

Savage Chrysler Doge Jeep RAM’s Top 5 Tips for New Drivers

Driving is an exciting milestone in life, but it can also be intimidating, especially for new drivers. Navigating the roads as a beginner involves a lot of responsibility, but with proper guidance, it can be a lot easier and more secure. In this blog, we will focus on five tips that can help new drivers stay safe and confident on the road. Tip 1: Master the Basics Before hitting the road, it is essential to understand the fundamental rules of driving. Start by reviewing your state's driver's manual or take an approved driver's education course. This will help you learn the rules of the road and gain a better understanding of road signs, speed limits, and traffic laws. Knowing the basics ensures that you can navigate the roads with confidence and safety. To further master the basics and gain a strong foundation in driving, it is important to practice frequently in various conditions. Make sure to drive in different weather conditions, such as rain or snow, and during different times of day. Additionally, practice on roads with varying speed limits and traffic levels. This will help you become comfortable behind the wheel and stay safe on the road. Tip 2: Keep Your Car Maintained Regular car maintenance is crucial for a vehicle's safe operation. Keeping up with oil changes, brakes, and tire rotations are necessary for ensuring that the car is in proper working order. Having a reliable vehicle also means reducing the chance of costly and dangerous breakdowns. Having a reliable car is also essential for avoiding any unwanted incidents on the road. Be sure to check your fluids (oil, coolant, brake, and transmission) regularly and top them off if needed. Make sure to have your brakes inspected occasionally, as well as inspect the car's tires for proper inflation levels and tread wear. Tip 3: Avoid Distractions Distractions while driving are dangerous, irresponsible, and can lead to accidents. Keep your phone on silent and out of reach while driving. If you need to use your phone, pull over to a safe spot to take the call or reply to a text message. Additionally, avoid eating, smoking, grooming, or engaging in other distracting activities while behind the wheel. In order to reduce distractions while driving, it is important to minimize the number of passengers in the car. Having fewer passengers in the vehicle reduces the chances of conversations or other interactions that could take your focus away from driving. Additionally, avoid programming GPS devices or changing radio stations while driving, as these activities require visual and mental attention. Tip 4: Don't Tailgate Maintaining a safe distance between your car and the vehicle in front is crucial for a driver's safety. The recommended following distance is three to four seconds between cars. This ample time will allow you to avoid a collision if the vehicle in front makes any sudden stops or turns. Tailgating can be dangerous and should always be avoided. Not only can it lead to rear-end collisions, but it can also cause road rage from the driver in front. Additionally, tailgating restricts vision and forces drivers to make quick decisions in order to avoid a collision. Tip 5: Obey All Traffic Rules Driving safely and responsibly involves obeying all traffic rules and laws, including stop signs, traffic signals, and posted speed limits. Remember, breaking the rules puts not only your safety but also the safety of other road users at risk. When driving, always be aware of the speed limit and the posted signs to ensure that you stay within the laws. Following the speed limit helps prevent speeding tickets and keeps you from putting yourself and other drivers at risk. Additionally, be mindful of intersections and obey any traffic signals, such as stop lights or yield signs. These traffic signals are there to keep you and other drivers safe on the road. Get Out and Drive — Safely! In conclusion, as a new driver, it is crucial to remain vigilant, patient, and adhere to basic traffic rules. Regular maintenance of your car, avoiding distractions, and maintaining a safe following distance are all essential practices to help ensure safe driving. Remember to never drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol, always wear your seatbelt, and enjoy the ride. Following these five tips will make you a more confident and responsible driver.

Top 5 Driving Myths Debunked: Separating Fact from Fiction

As drivers, we all have our beliefs and habits on the road that we take for granted. Many of these come from the driving lessons we learned from parents, friends, or driving school instructors. However, not all of these beliefs are necessarily true, or the best practice on the road. In this blog, we will debunk five of the most common driving myths in America and provide you with the facts. By the end of this post, we hope you will have a better understanding of safe driving practices and improve your overall driving experience. Myth #1: It's safer to drive with your hands at the 10 and 2 o'clock positions. Many of us learned the traditional way of holding the steering wheel at 10 and 2 o'clock. However, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends holding the wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock for better control, especially in case of sudden turns or steering movements. The 9 and 3 o'clock positions allow for a better grip of the wheel, making it easier to turn it in any direction if necessary. Additionally, this position provides the driver with increased space between their arms and chest in case of an accident, which can help reduce serious injuries. Myth #2: It's safer to drive slower than the speed limit. While it's important to obey speed limits, driving too slowly can also be dangerous. It can lead to impatient drivers behind you, causing them to make reckless maneuvers and potentially cause accidents. In some cases, driving too slowly can be a violation of the law, so make sure to maintain a speed that is reasonable and safe. Myth #3: Four-wheel drive or all-wheel drive makes you invincible on the road. While 4WD or AWD can provide better traction in certain driving conditions (such as on snow or ice), it can also provide a false sense of security to the driver. It does not make you invincible on the road and does not improve braking or steering ability. Always drive according to the road conditions and adjust your speed when necessary. Myth #4: Red cars are more likely to get pulled over by police. This is one of the most widespread urban legends in the driving community, but there is no evidence to back it up. The color of your car does not impact your chances of getting pulled over. Police officers look for safety violations, such as speeding, running red lights, or failing to use turn signals, regardless of the color of your car. Myth #5: Using your phone with your hands-free device is safe while driving. While using a hands-free device to make calls or send texts is legal in many states, it is not always safe. Even if your hands are on the wheel, your attention is still divided between driving and the conversation. Research shows that any form of phone use while driving can be distracting and increase the risk of accidents. Whenever possible, avoid using your phone while driving or pull over to a safe place if you need to make a call. Driving Debunked Driving myths can create confusion and impact safe driving habits. By debunking these five common driving myths, we hope to help drivers understand the importance of adopting safe driving practices, following traffic laws, and staying focused while on the road. Remember to always drive defensively, be aware of your surroundings, and be mindful of potential hazards. Safe driving is everyone's responsibility.

Prep Your Car for Spring with These 5 Tips

With spring right around the corner now is the best time to start prepping your car for warmer weather. Whether you’re washing off a winter worth of salt and dirt or you’re finally bringing the summer car out of your garage, some spring cleaning is a great way to increase the life of your vehicle. If you’re a DIY’er looking to get their ride ready for spring, this is one list of tips and tricks you won’t want to miss. Wash it Down Spring is the perfect time to give your car the much-needed love it deserves. To start, grab some soap, water and a lint-free chamois cloth. Once you have your supplies, start scrubbing away any winter grime, dust or debris. Don't forget to get into all of those nooks, crannies and hard-to-reach areas. Now that you're done with the soap and water stage, give the car a quick once-over before wiping it down with your chamois cloth. Using a lint-free chamois cloth instead of air drying helps avoid any unwanted water spots on your vehicle. If you don't have much time or are looking for an easier method, an automatic car wash is a good option to consider. With just a few minutes of your time an automatic car wash will have your car ready for Spring in no time. Check Your Tires As spring approaches, it's time to start checking the air pressure and tread depth of your tires. Having tires with solid tread depth and the proper air pressure not only keeps you safe, but it also ensures peak performance and fuel economy. Tire air pressure can drop with temperature changes or from sitting for a long time. So, the first step is to ensure those air levels are set to your vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. You typically can find this information on the inside of your driver’s side door jam. Next, you’ll want to check your tread depth. While there are a few methods of checking this at home, we always recommend having one of our certified technicians do this for you. This ensures that the tread depth reading is accurate so don’t have to buy tires before they’re ready to be replaced. Inspect the Battery Spring is an important time to inspect the battery of your car to ensure it is fully operational. A battery that has sat for a long time or been exposed to cold weather for long periods of time may not be as strong as it once was. That’s why we recommend testing your battery or having it tested as you begin to prepare your vehicle for spring. It's also wise to have a technician check your alternator and charging system annually. This will ensure that your battery is being properly charged which maximizes its lifespan. If your charging system or alternator aren’t functioning properly, it’s better to find that out ahead of time before you end up stranded. Making sure your battery is ready for spring will go a long way in helping you stay safe and worry-free on the roads this season. You can have your alternator, battery and charging system checked by one of our certified technicians here at Savage L&B. All you have to do is schedule an appointment online or call us today! Change the Oil One of the oldest pieces of car maintenance advice to ever exist, changing your oil is essential no matter what season it is. However, after a long winter or a prolonged period of garage storage, it is even more important to check and/or change the oil in your vehicle. This can help catch issues such as degraded oil or finding metal shavings in the oil pan. If you don’t have the time or space to check your oil, don’t worry, our service center is full of certified technicians who can help. At Savage L&B we can check and replace your oil and filter, as well as perform a variety of other maintenance and repair services. All you have to do is call for an appointment or schedule your service online today! Protect Your Paint Preparing your car for the spring season is an important part of vehicle maintenance, and paint protection should be a top priority. Investing in paint protection film or a ceramic coating can help protect against scratches, dirt and other things that can cause paint damage over time. Paint protection film acts as a physical barrier to any debris coming in contact with your paint, while ceramic coatings act as an extra layer on top of your paint that wears better against damage. Both are excellent options for protecting your car's paint from the elements and road debris. Are You Ready for Spring? With the days getting longer and temperatures increasing, it's time to put winter in the rearview mirror and prepare for spring. Make sure your car is ready for sunny drives and weekend trips by following our five favorite tips for prepping your vehicle for spring. And remember, if you don't have time to do this yourself, we have a team of professionals waiting to help you. Schedule your appointment online or simply stop by our location in Reading today!
