Brad Deery Motors - What’s New for the 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L near Clinton IA? The Grand Cherokee L is the extended-wheelbase edition of the Grand Cherokee, which is the most critically acclaimed SUV since it debuted in the 1990s. The L was introduced based on the new fifth-generation platform a year before the standard model received its next-gen redesign, and the most notable update for the 2023 model now available at Brad Deery Motors near Clinton is that Jeep has merged everything back into a single lineup with all of the same trim levels and options. Those trim levels are the Laredo, Altitude, Limited, Overland, Summit and Summit Reserve. The focus this year has really been bringing the standard-wheelbase model up to speed, so the updates to the L in particular are relatively low key. In-dash navigation has been added as standard equipment with the Limited and Overland in addition to the Summit and Summit Reserve models. Jeep has also broadened the premium Alpine and McIntosh audio options and also made it easier just to add premium audio as a standalone option rather than having to add it through an equipment group. The McIntosh setup now available on the Overland and up is a 19-speaker system with an amplifier. Which Grand Cherokee L is right for you? The Laredo is the most affordable model and impressively well equipped at this price point. The Altitude adds the Altitude appearance package and also the Laredo’s optional Lux Tech Group. The Limited contains it as well but as also adds a more upscale cabin with leather seating and a more deluxe infotainment system. The Overland ups the luxury quotient even further and also opens up some off-road options. The Summit and Summit Reserve are the most premium trims with the Reserve adding a number of exclusives, such as open-pore interior wood trim. Also serving Cedar Rapids, Davenport, and Bettendorf Iowa. Request more Jeep Grand Cherokee L information

Brad Deery Ford - Explore 2023 Ford Explorer trim choices near Dubuque IA The new Ford Explorer Limited near Dubuque is the fifth trim in the Explorer's lineup. It's just after the Timberline and just before the ST. With seating for seven people and a heavily chromed-out front grille, this model is accessible sophistication and premium features for far less money than the very end of the Explorer lineup. Brad Deery Ford recommends this model for these three facts: 1. The Explorer Limited tows up to 5,000 pounds With 5,000 pounds of towing capacity and off-road capabilities, the Explorer Limited is a true multitasker. This one is great for families who need upscale styling but with a higher-performance twist. To get this fantastic 5,000 pounds of towing capacity, the model's 3.3L hybrid engine is the option that makes this towing capacity possible. 2. A 2023 Ford Explorer Limited trim comes with intricate leather-trimmed seats The Explorer Limited's seats sit low to the ground and reduce stress and fatigue to the driver and everyone else lucky enough to ride in this model. You'll also notice micro-perforated inserts and accent stitching that make the seats look and feel more upscale. This is the standard seating for the Explorer Limited, so there's no need to upgrade. 3. SYNC 3 runs the model's 10.1-inch touchscreen The touchscreen system is one of the top things people look at before deciding on an SUV. We believe you're going to love the design of Ford's 10.1-inch Explorer Limited screen. It sits just above the climate controls and only rises a bit above the dash. This is the perfect angle for the driver to comfortably interact with the screen. This screen also comes with standard pinch-to-zoom technology. That's an intuitive interface that mimics the functionality of the smartphone, something that almost every driver if familiar with. Also serving Clinton, Cedar Rapids, and Davenport Iowa.

Our customers can count on the Jeep Compass to give them endless off-road adventures. It's trail rated just like many other Jeep models. The exterior of the model looks like a premium SUV and very conventional in comparison to the rest Jeep lineup.

The interior's comfortable cloth or leather seating deliver a comfortable position for drivers to enjoy the model's powertrain and 4X4 systems. If you want an adventurous driving experience, look to the Trailhawk and its incredible equipment. The model's 17-inch painted gloss black aluminum wheels, active lane management, and front and rear red tow hooks are attractive and deliver a feeling of confidence.

Brad Deery Motors - Questions About the 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD near Dubuque IA Many of the questions we get about the 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD have to do with which cab and bed configurations are available. Chevrolet offers three cab options: a two-door regular cab, a four-door double cab with half-size rear doors and a four-door crew cab. There are two bed lengths: a standard bed that measures about 6 feet 10 inches and a long bed that measures a bit more than 8 feet. The long bed is available with any cab, and the standard bed is available with the double and crew cabs. Online, many people are curious about how much the 2500 HD can tow and not just the maximum amount, which is 18,510 pounds. But how much can you haul if you opt for the base WT and a standard trailering setup, and the answer to that is 14,500 pounds. There is not a Silverado 2500 HD available at Brad Deery Motors that can’t tow that much. If you need more towing capacity, our team can help you strike the perfect balance between your budget and your new truck’s capabilities.

Brad Deery Motors - Questions About the 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 near East Moline IL Did the Silverado 1500 outsell the Ford F-150 last year? That is among the most common questions asked online and posed to us here at Brad Deery Motors. The answer to this question requires some context. The F-150 has been the top seller most years for a long time, technically, but those numbers are often inflated with fleet and other sales. When you limit the sales count to new registrations among everyday people, then the numbers are much closer, and the Silverado 1500 did outsell the F-150 during the 2022 model year from this perspective by a significant amount. Another top question online is about the differences between the off-road trim levels. We offer four options here at our Chevrolet dealership serving East Moline, IL: Custom Trail Boss, LT Trail Boss, ZR2, and ZR2 Bison. The Custom Trail Boss is the most affordable option and adds four-wheel drive, a two-speed transfer case, hill descent control, an automatic locking rear differential, and the Z71 off-road suspension package with a 2-inch lift. The LT Trail Boss is similar but boasts the more upscale LT equipment package. The ZR2 expands on that off-road equipment with electronic locking front and rear differentials and a more sophisticated suspension with adaptive dampers. Finally, there is the ZR2 Bison, a special edition of the ZR2 that boasts a unique appearance package but also a long-travel suspension and other mechanical enhancements.

Brad Deery Motors - Questions about the 2024 Chevrolet Trax near Rock Island IL Many of the questions we get at Brad Deery Motors about the Trax are about whether Chevrolet ended production or why Chevrolet skipped a year. The production certainly didn’t end. The Trax continues to be a popular crossover, but recent global supply chain issues presented problems for the American brand just as they were designing the next-generation Trax. So, they continued to sell the 2022 model during the 2023 model year and held off the redesigned Trax to the 2024 model year. The common question asked online is which trim levels are available. The selection has been recently expanded for the 2024 Chevrolet Trax. Our Chevrolet dealership serving Rock Island, IL, offers five options: LS, 1RS, LT, 2RS, and Activ. The LS is the most affordable model but is still well-equipped. The 1RS and LT are close in price to the base model but add popular amenities and technologies. The 2RS is the first of two luxury-oriented models, and the Activ boasts just about all of the features that are available for the Trax.

Brad Deery Motors - Questions about the 2023 Chevrolet Equinox near Moline IL What is E-boost, and how does it work? Those are the two most common questions consumers ask about the 2023 Chevrolet Equinox, now available at Brad Deery Motors. All Equinox models now come equipped with an electro-hydraulic braking system called E-boost. Cadillacs were the first GM vehicles to use this innovative braking system that not only takes up less space under the hood but improves fuel performance as well. In short, this system doesn’t need the vacuum created by the engine and is therefore able to function even when the engine isn’t running. Many people are also asking about the new appearance packages, and there are two offered through our dealership serving Moline, IL: Midnight and Sport. These options are available with the base model and let you bring its appearance more in line with the upper trim levels. The main difference between the two is that the Sport appearance package features chrome trim, whereas the Midnight appearance package replaces all of that chrome with black accents.
