You Can’t Dodge the Dodge

Dodge is a brand of automobiles, sport utility vehicles, and minivans based in the United States. Manufactured and distributed by Chrysler Group LLC since the start of the 20th century, Dodge vehicles are distributed in over 60 countries worldwide.



Chrysler has been manufacturing Dodge vehicles since the 1930s beginning with its sedan line-up called "K-Cars". For a couple of decades, Chrysler produced a series of sedans for the American market: Dodge Aries, Dodge Caravan, Daytona, Spirit, Omni, Dynasty, Stratus, and Neon. Some models were more successful than others like the Dodge Aries and Neon for its clever marketing, and the Dodge Caravan for filling the need for a family van.



The company delved into the production of trucks as the country surged into full industry mode. A series of trucks catering to the need for heavy duty vehicles were manufactured: Dodge Ram, Power Wagon, Club Cab, Lil’ Red Express , Warlock, Macho Power Wagon, and Street Van. Soon after, Dodge realized that the market for heavy duty automobiles have downsized and moved to lighter vehicles. This resulted in the production of pickups, where even the government ordered several thousand units for the military.



As the market need continued to change, Dodge produced vans in its A & B series. Models that were released were the Sportsman and Tradesman cargo line. Further market changes resulted in the production of the SUV (sport utility vehicle), where the following were produced: Town Wagon, Ramcharger, Dakota, and Durango. You can find all these at any Grande Prairie Dodge dealer in your area.



Dodge has made its name in manufacturing vehicles with considerable seat and load capacity which often makes it the first choice in truck, pickup and van purchases. You can find that recent models from Grande Prairie Dodge dealers offer a great deal of efficient fuel consumption. The minimum mileage for some of the later vans and SUVs models range from 16-18 miles per gallon on ordinary roads, and increases from 20-25 on open highways.



Dodge automobiles are practically made not just to suit the economy with its affordable prices, but to satisfy individual’s transportation needs. Overall, Chrysler has been successful in responding to market changes and delivering more suitable types of vehicles for the American market and even around the world.
