Best Range EVs for NJ Drivers
The Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid: When You Want to Skip the Gas Station (Not the Flexibility)
If your daily routine includes a coffee stop on South Street, a crawl down I‑287, and a post‑work grocery sweep at the Morris Plains ShopRite, you’re the kind of driver the Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid was built for.
No, it wasn’t featured in Nielsen Editorial’s latest guide to the best range EVs for NJ drivers, but hear us out: This one deserves an honorable mention. With up to 32 miles of electric range for everyday errands, plus over 500 miles of total range when the gas engine tags in, the Pacifica Hybrid makes electrified driving easier — without asking you to completely upend your habits.
It’s electric when you want it, hybrid when you need it, and ideal for anyone still sizing up whether they’re really ready to go all-in on an EV. And unlike many all-electric options, this one comes with sliding doors, kid-friendly features, and actual cargo space for strollers, instruments, or the occasional impulsive antique find on Route 10.
At Nielsen Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram of Morristown, we’re seeing more drivers make the Pacifica Hybrid their entry point into electric driving. They do so not because it’s trendy, but because it just makes sense for the stop-and-go rhythm of Morris County life. Come give it a test drive and see how practical plug-in power can really be.

Trucks That Handle Any Hauling Job
From Mulch to Machinery, Ram Gets it Done in Morris County
Some trucks are made for showrooms. Ram trucks are made for Morris County. Whether you’re hauling renovation supplies down Speedwell Avenue or towing heavy equipment to a jobsite off Columbia Turnpike, you need a truck that shows up ready — not one that asks for a break after lunch.
That’s exactly why the Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 were all featured in Nielsen Editorial’s NJ Drivers’ Guide to Trucks That Handle Any Hauling Job. These trucks are strong, but they’re also smart, stable, and built for NJ’s real-world conditions, from Parkway gridlock to icy hills outside Mendham.
The Ram 1500 delivers daily comfort with real hauling capability — perfect for general contractors, tradespeople, or anyone who juggles jobsite runs with weekend family duty. But if your trailer’s loaded and your workdays involve back-to-back hauls, the Ram 2500 and 3500 bring the kind of high-output diesel torque and towing confidence that turns big jobs into manageable ones.
And in Morristown, where the weather changes fast and the driveways aren’t always forgiving, Ram’s available tow packages, plow setups, and off-road-ready trims are must-haves.
At Nielsen Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram of Morristown, we’ll help you find the Ram that’s ready for your workload, whether that’s hauling building materials, running a fleet, or finally replacing the truck you’ve been “making work” for too long. Come see what your next truck can really do.

EVs With Surprising Cargo Space
The Jeep Recon Is Coming (And It’s Not Just Here to Look Cool)
While Nielsen Editorial spotlighted some seriously smart options in its roundup of EVs with surprising cargo space, one upcoming model deserves a loud, Jersey-style shoutout: the all-electric Jeep Recon.
This isn’t your average plug-in commuter car. The Recon is built for trailheads and tailgates, not just traffic lights. It brings Jeep’s off-road grit into the electric age. And with removable doors, flexible seating, and a cargo hold built for actual adventures, it’s ready for everything from snowy Sussex County roads to muddy weekend hikes near the Delaware Water Gap.
We’re talking space for camping gear, sports equipment, your overly ambitious farmer’s market haul — and enough room to bring the dog, the cooler, and whatever else your weekend throws at you.
The Jeep Recon was designed to lead the charge into electric adventure. Visit Nielsen Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram to learn more about what’s coming — and why the Recon is one EV that’s thinking way outside the plug.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee: When Morris County Keeps You Guessing, This SUV Delivers
Morning fog on Route 10. Construction on 287 that shows up with no warning. A thunderstorm just as you’re pulling into Whippany for pickup. In Morristown and beyond, your SUV doesn’t get days off — and neither do you. That’s exactly why the Jeep Grand Cherokee deserves a spot in every conversation about reliability, even if it didn’t steal the spotlight in the Nielsen Editorial guide to reliable cars NJ drivers can count on.
This SUV takes everything great about the Jeep name — ruggedness, resilience, and go-anywhere confidence — and adds next-level comfort, tech, and interior space. With available 4×4, a quiet, capable ride, and a proven track record for long-term durability, the Grand Cherokee is perfect for NJ drivers who want an SUV that can keep up with workdays, weekends, and whatever else the week throws their way (including Randolph snow and a backseat full of soccer gear).
At Nielsen Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram of Morristown, we understand local driving because we live it, too. Visit for a test drive and see how the Grand Cherokee handles real New Jersey life — no drama, no breakdowns, just capability that shows up every day.

Electric vs. Hybrid: Which Is Better for NJ Drivers?
The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe: Because ‘Green’ Doesn’t Mean Giving Up Grit
Looking for a ride that blends innovation with rugged, go-anywhere capability? Check out the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe. Nielsen Editorial’s recent guide to electric vs. hybrid vehicles highlighted a lot of great options, but the Grand Cherokee 4xe also deserved mention for how it lets you have your gas-free commute and your weekend road trip to the Delaware Water Gap.
The 4xe delivers up to 25 miles of electric-only range, which means you can run errands around Morristown, drop the kids off at school, or hit the office — all without using a drop of gas. But when it’s time to venture beyond Morris County or power through a messy Jersey winter, the hybrid engine kicks in for the kind of range and muscle only Jeep can offer. Think 375 horsepower, available 4×4 capability, and towing capacity that laughs at “light duty.”
For drivers stuck between electric vs. hybrid cars, the Grand Cherokee 4xe delivers versatility with zero compromise. You’ll lower your emissions, qualify for federal EV incentives, and skip more gas station visits — all while sitting in one of the most luxurious, capable SUVs on the road.
At Nielsen Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram of Morristown, we’re helping more NJ drivers make the smart switch to plug-in hybrids. Whether you’re EV-curious or just want to stop spending a fortune at the pump, the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe is the perfect bridge between electric savings and traditional Jeep strength.

No-Nonsense Pre-Owned Vehicles for Drivers Who Know What They Want
Let’s face it — shopping for a car in New Jersey means cutting through the clutter and finding something that actually fits your life (and your budget). That’s why Nielsen Editorial’s latest guide to certified pre-owned vs. used cars is worth a read — and why Nielsen Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram is the place to put that research into action.
Need a vehicle that handles like a dream but doesn’t come with the brand-new price tag? A CPO Dodge Charger or Jeep Grand Cherokee gives you that “new car feel” with factory-backed coverage and fewer miles — perfect for navigating Route 46, ferrying the kids to practice, or tackling Sussex County snow like a pro.
Prefer a lower upfront cost and more wiggle room in your budget? We’ve got a wide selection of used Ram 1500s, Wranglers, and Pacifica minivans that bring serious value — especially if you’re handy or just want a solid, road-tested machine that’s already proven itself.
Whichever path you take, our team’s here to help you shop confidently — no fluff, no pressure, and no judgment about your playlist during the test drive.

The Grand Cherokee: For Drivers Who Take Their Playlists Personally
In Morristown, you never know what kind of drive you’re in for — a smooth cruise to Loantaka or a bumper-to-bumper crawl through downtown at 5:17 p.m. Either way, the Jeep Grand Cherokee brings serious backup in the form of one of the best car sound systems you’ll ever experience in an SUV. That’s why Nielsen Editorial added it to their list of the top sound systems for NJ music lovers.
We’re talking about the McIntosh® audio system — a name that makes audiophiles perk up faster than a green light on Speedwell Avenue. With 19 speakers and a 950-watt amp, this vehicle performs your music. It’s like having front-row seats to your own private concert every time you start the engine.
This isn’t some gimmicky add-on either. The system is perfectly integrated into the Grand Cherokee’s cabin, tuned to fill every inch of space with deep bass, warm mids, and soaring highs. So whether you’re navigating Morristown’s historic streets or heading up I-287 to blow off steam (with volume at full blast), this SUV makes sure your soundtrack hits just as hard as your weekend plans.
Your playlist deserves better than tinny speakers and buzzing door panels. Visit Nielsen Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram of Morristown for a music-first test drive and experience the Jeep Grand Cherokee’s McIntosh system for yourself. Just don’t blame us if your next commute takes an extra 20 minutes because you refused to skip tracks.

What Are the Best Vehicles for Pet Owners in NJ?
Built for Muddy Paws, Sudden Squirrels & That One Dog Who Refuses to Sit Still
You can read all the brochures in the world, but if you’ve ever tried to load a wiggling 80-pound dog into a hot car during rush hour in Morristown while wearing work clothes and clutching a coffee, you already know the real pet-parent priorities: fast loading, backseat space, and features that can survive fur, drool, paw prints, and the occasional roadside “emergency” that somehow involves three plastic bags and a minor existential crisis.
Here’s the good news: We’ve got three standout vehicles that pass the test, each one recently featured by Nielsen Editorial as one of the best vehicles for pets in NJ.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee is for the adventure dog — the one who hears a backpack zipper and immediately starts spinning like a furry tornado of anticipation. Whether you’re headed to the trails in Loantaka, playing in the snow up in Morris Plains, or just tackling NJ’s wildly unpredictable weather, the Grand Cherokee eats it all for breakfast.
The Chrysler Pacifica is for families who’ve accepted that they’re one juice box spill away from chaos and leaned all the way in. Between school drop-offs, muddy paws, and “we’re late for the vet (again)” runs, the Pacifica is your mobile family HQ. Stow ’n Go® seating folds into the floor like a magic trick, and tri-zone climate control means everyone gets their own level of contentedness.
Then there’s the Dodge Durango, built for the “this dog has their own Instagram and it’s more popular than mine” crowd. It’s bold, beefy, and blessedly spacious, with a flat cargo floor and wide rear access that makes it easy for even your laziest bulldog to hop in without requiring motivational speeches or treats that cost more than your lunch.
Because let’s be honest: if your pet is part of the family, they probably run the family. So why not drive something built with them in mind?
Visit Nielsen Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram of Morristown to take one of these pet-friendly vehicles for a spin.

The Dodge Hornet: When Morristown Drivers Want More Than “Just Enough”
We’ve got nothing but respect for the Nissan Kicks and Hyundai Kona — they’re smart, efficient, and great at squeezing into that one shady spot behind the Starbucks on South Street. Just ask Nielsen Editorial, which recently compared the two models. But if your daily grind includes Route 287 standoffs, last-second jughandles, and the occasional uphill detour that feels like a roller coaster in disguise, you might want a compact SUV that’s got a bit more … sting.
Meet the Dodge Hornet — the subcompact that shows up with turbo power, AWD capability, and an attitude that says, “Yeah, I’m built for Jersey.”
This isn’t your average entry-level SUV. With its aggressive styling and performance-tuned powertrain, the Hornet feels more like a hot hatch with extra headroom. It carves corners with confidence, grips when the weather turns wild, and still leaves room in the back for groceries, gear, or your kid’s science fair volcano.
It’s all business on the inside, including a digital cockpit, sleek materials, and a layout that actually makes sense. And if you opt for the R/T plug-in hybrid? You’re getting an SUV that can muscle through Monday traffic and sneak past the pump for days.
So while the Kicks and Kona do their job well, the Dodge Hornet does it with flair — and maybe a burnout or two (on private property, of course).
Find a Dodge Hornet for sale in NJ at our Dodge dealership in New Jersey — because your compact SUV should match your Garden State grit.

Why the Jeep Compass Is a Grounded First Ride for Morristown’s Newest Drivers
In Morristown, teen drivers don’t get the luxury of easing into things. Their first solo trips include navigating local construction detours that change daily, dodging delivery vans double-parked on like they’re building an obstacle course, and figuring out how to park on a hill without becoming a parallel-parking legend for all the wrong reasons. (Spoiler: everyone’s watching.)
That’s exactly why the Jeep Compass made Nielsen Editorial’s list of the safest vehicles for teen drivers in NJ. It’s built to help new drivers stay steady, alert, and a few steps ahead of whatever the road throws their way (including that one pothole that could swallow a Vespa).
This compact SUV keeps things calm with a thoughtful mix of visibility, maneuverability, and driver-assist features that help bridge the gap between “just licensed” and “seasoned commuter.” Standard and available tech includes Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning, Blind Spot Monitoring, and Rear Cross Path Detection — essential tools when your teen is trying to back out of a ShopRite parking space during peak chaos with a cart rolling directly toward them.
And while it’s a Jeep, the Compass trades off-road muscle for urban agility, giving your new driver something that’s both practical and protective for everyday use. It’s easy to handle, light on drama, and surprisingly composed for a vehicle that can still tackle snow piles, random gravel shortcuts, and sudden “Road Closed” signs with classic Jeep confidence.
For families in Morristown who want a safety net on four wheels, the Compass is the kind of smart start that grows with your teen as they learn the ropes, the roads, and the unwritten rules of driving in NJ. Find a new Compass for sale in NJ at Nielsen Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram of Morristown.
