Meet the Most Powerful CDJR Models
For drivers who have high demands, CDJR is the only option. If you’re going to the track, want the latest in electric performance, or need a tow vehicle for your next weekend adventure, CDJR has you covered. We’re shining a spotlight on some of the best CDJR models for drivers who need more than just a vehicle that gets them from point A to point B.
Fastest Off-Road
For 2021, the legendary Jeep Grand Cherokee gets a special edition bred for the track, literally. The Grand Cherokee Trackhawk® features the same spacious style and comfort that made the Grand Cherokee such a hit with family-oriented Jeep fans, but it also has an arsenal of performance upgrades throughout the powertrain. Thanks to a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine that delivers up to 707 horses, this beast can launch from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds, that's performance car standards. But that's not all; thanks to its innovative Quadra-Trac® Active On-Demand 4x4 System (a Jeep exclusive), the Trackhawk also delivers 110% confidence on the trail as well as the track.
Fastest On-Road
The name should come as no surprise to speed fans. The Dodge Challenger SRT® Hellcat has created a cult following on the track, thanks to its supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI® SRT V8 engine. This monstrosity delivers an astonishing 717 horsepower, and it features track-ready upgrades like the available TorqueFlite® high-performance eight-speed automatic transmission and illuminated Air-Catcher® Headlamps. Opt for the Redeye edition's (pictured below) High-Output HEMI upgrade, and you'll enjoy a horsepower boost up to 797, offering a top-tier 1/4-mile time of just over 10 seconds.
Most Towing Capacity
The RAM HD was named MotorTrend's "2020 Truck of the Year," and for good reason. The RAM 3500 is as powerful as it is versatile. An impressive 1,000 lb-ft of torque allows this heavyweight champion to tow up to an unbelievable 35,100 pounds when properly equipped, more than any other truck in its class. Your new question will be "what can't you move?"
Most Powerful Hybrid
Not every vehicle on this list is going to be a face-melting, mountain-moving monster because powerful innovation finds its way in almost every model in the FCA family. The Chrysler Pacifica comes available with a cutting-edge 3.6-liter V6 hybrid powertrain unlike anything else in its class. Thanks to advances in battery life and electric motor technology, the Pacifica Hybrid (pictured below) offers a 520-mile driving range, including 32 miles on electric power only. This is the perfect choice for drivers looking to save money at the pump because it returns an enviable 82 MPGe combined. Welcome to the future.
These are just the top models on our list, and there are many more feats of strength from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep®, and RAM we would love to tell you about. So chug that energy drink, down that double espresso, or crush whatever rocket fuel you’re consuming, and come see us at Heritage CDJR Harrisburg, Owings Mills & Parkville or contact us to learn more about the powerful options we have in our showroom.
