Skipping the lines and ordering a custom vehicle from the factory

It’s no secret that new inventory is hard to come by for dealerships as well as customers. COVID, chip shortages, canal-related mishaps, and other disasters have all led to the strangest auto market situation that we’ve ever seen.

If you’ve been shopping around for your next vehicle, you’ve likely already seen how difficult it can be to find exactly what you’re looking for.

You might find the perfect SUV with everything you need, BUT it’s in the wrong color. You might find a sedan that would be a great fit for your family, but it doesn’t have steering wheel controls, and that’s a deal breaker for you. You might be looking for a new heavy-duty truck and find nothing at all. When it comes to something you plan on using for years, it’s hard to compromise on features, color, or even the exact model you want.

When you custom factory order a truck in Edmond, Oklahoma at John Vance Auto Group, you’re able to get exactly what you’re looking for, and without the frustration of searching Autotrader and local dealership websites.

You get to skip the line when you order a new car, is what we’re telling you. While it’s definitely no secret that the current situation is a crazy one, it’s much less known that you can simply go straight to the factory through John Vance Auto Group.

Customize what features and specs your factory ordered truck has without spending hours of time searching online. You can get the process of custom ordering your SUV from our website and have it delivered to your nearest John Vance Auto Group dealership. You might want to ask the question “How long does it take to order a car from the factory?” Normally it might be quicker to pick something up from what’s currently available on the lot, but that’s no longer the case with inventory constraints.

Ordering a new car through a dealership doesn’t have to be stressful.

In fact, it can even be an enjoyable experience when you partner up with a reputable dealership and take the time to ensure what you’re ordering is the exact right car you want. You’ll never have as much freedom of choice in your cay-buying experience as you will find in your special ordered vehicle experience.

Clint is a young man from Oxford, Kansas who is being touted as a champion in the making. Recently, on July 14th, we got the chance to spend some time with Clint, and we were thoroughly impressed by his professionalism.

Meet Red Brick Nights in Guthrie, Oklahoma. It’s close enough to the city that several dealership employees make the commute every morning, and you’ll be greeted by one of the prettiest historic downtowns in the state. It’s no exaggeration to say that downtown Guthrie is gorgeous.

 

The original state capitol building, architecture in the surrounding buildings from time ago, and, well, the Red Brick roads are just a few of the charming aesthetics that Guthrie delivers, and Red Brick Nights are a compelling reason to take it all in.

There are so many reasons to choose Guthrie, and we hope you’ll find out for yourself at our September event near Edmond, Oklahoma.

Jeep has been hinting at something big, and there are a multitude of theories floating around as to what exactly is coming. 

 

Here’s what we’re working with so far.

a Jeep teaser with a sign reading 40.4 with a dirt track behind it.

“A sign of things to come” read the tweet accompanying this image posted on June 21, 2021.

 

-but what does Jeep’s mysterious 40.4 tweet MEAN?

Jeep Wrangler 392 near me

We’ve spent a lot of time crawling through all of the countless other articles casting guesses and compiled them here so that you don’t have to. With that being said, let’s figure out Jeep’s newest teaser.

 

Some folks in the auto field have made guesses that, while awesome, are extremely unlikely.

 

Guesses like that includes ground clearance (come on, now. That’s just a fantasy number), breakover angles, water fording (while possible, this would be a huge leap), mileage (haha), a wrangler roadster (this is perhaps the least likely of all of the guesses, as Jeep already has a bevy of new jeep vehicles in the works and the Wrangler already sells like hotcakes), climate control (this one wasn’t particularly inspired), and more increasingly crazy speculations.

wrangler 4xe in Edmond Oklahoma

One potentially valid possibility is that it’s referencing the kWh battery. The current Jeep Wrangler 4xe has a somewhat miniscule battery pack clocking in at 17.3 kWh, but a 40 kWh battery would take the electric-only range up to about a 50-mile area which is a third of the range of the comparably-equipped Nissan Leaf.

 

What we, along with at least one other automotive outlet, think is most likely to be the meaning behind Jeep’s 40.4 tweet is that it’s referencing tire size.

 

Just by googling Jeep on 40-inch tires, you’ll get a taste for 1. How extreme this looks and 2. How there is a precedent for it being done.

 

 

That’s as close as we can get to a definite answer for the time being, and even that is just speculation on our end. Here’s hoping that Stellantis will pull back the curtain on this 40.4 Jeep treat soon.

The world hasn’t seen a new Dodge Dakota roll off of the assembly line since 2011, and that’s all about to change. 

While the information we’ve compiled largely stems from rumors, there are some solid pieces of evidence to be found that the new Ram Dakota is very much a thing. One of the most legitimate clues is the appearance of what looks suspiciously like a modern Dakota camouflaged in spy shots.

a spyshot of the new dodge dakota under heavy camoflauge

While the original Dodge Dakota was underneath the Dodge umbrella, Ram trucks have since been broken off into their own brand, and the new Dakota is more likely to fit in with the pickups than the sports cars and minivans under the Dodge nameplate. 

While it has been over a decade since we saw a new Dakota, we do fondly remember the stalwart, simple nature of the first Dakota. It was a compact truck that didn’t have a ton of fancy garnishing but did pack a punch for towing and general laboring. Oklahomans love trucks, so we anticipate they’ll be very pleased to see this historic nameplate return.

The 2010 Dodge Dakota, while cool and great for working, got pretty terrible miles per gallon. We anticipate that the new Ram Dakota in Edmond will see much higher miles per gallon than the 14 mpg that the old Dakota got. The progress in technology since 2010 allows vastly more powerful engines to rake in excellent fuel efficiency, and we expect to see the 2022 Dakota take advantage of those advances.

Looking at the architecture of this new Ram truck spy shot, it looks very much like roughly the same shape as the original Dakota, but with design touches that fit the time period.

We cannot be certain of much other than the general shape, as what we’ve been allowed to see so far is heavily camouflaged.

These pictures are far from isolated incidents, and you’ll find a great deal of proof that the Dakota is on its way to being announced.

We’ll update this post with more information after the new Ram Dakota reveal, if we’re correct in our guess that it’s coming soon.

Comparing the new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 with the new Jeep Wrangler 4xe.

 

With two of the latest entries in this historic Jeep series, the Wrangler has ascended to never-before-seen levels of power, speed, and refinement. That statement may make these two new Wranglers sound dainty, but their raw ability where the pavement ends is unrivaled. 

Gray-Jeep-Wrangler-4xe-in-Edmond-Oklahoma

Like the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is in its element at the track, so, too, are the Jeep 4xe and Jeep 392 at their best when thrown into a literal quagmire, bog, or occasional creek fording.

 

Before we get into which is “better” than the other, let’s dive into what exactly these new Jeep Wranglers in Edmond Oklahoma are.

 

The new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392

The 470-horsepower Wrangler Rubicon 392 in Oklahoma

Jeeps haven’t always been the fastest vehicles on (or off) of the road. In fact, older examples such as the Jeep FC made an anemic 72 horsepower, which would send it scuttling zero to sixty eventually.

 

New Jeep Wranglers near me have grown quicker, smarter, and tougher than ever before.

 

-And now it has been taken to another level entirely with the addition of a V8 engine that’s able to claw from zero to sixty in just four point five seconds. It’s no overstatement to say that the new Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 in Edmond is the fastest Jeep Wrangler you can buy. 

 

If you know the precedent set by Jeep’s sister company, Dodge, you’ll know that the hemi is Dodge’s solution to just about everything. This is for good reason, too, as the Jeep Hemi is an absolute monster.

Now not only is this thing fast, but it’s also bearing the Rubicon name and all the ability that comes with it. The Jeep Rubicon name is a promise, one that says right out of the factory it can conquer the legendary Rubicon Trail, and the 392 Jeep will be no exception. 

 

The New Jeep Wrangler 4xe

The new 4xe is a plug-in hybrid that allows for hyper-efficient motoring, near-silent electric only wheeling, and all the bushwhacking Jeep is known for.

 

Detractors of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles may suffer the misconception an electrified Wrangler isn’t as powerful as the new Jeep Wrangler, but the 4xe Jeep’s 470 lb-ft of instant torque would beg to differ.

 

The new Jeep Wrangler 4xe can scoot from zero to sixty in six seconds flat, which is exceptional for a zero percent aerodynamic box of a Jeep. Horsepower may be an overrated measurement of ability, but just in case the Wrangler 4xe near me puts out an impressive 375 horsepower.

 

The 4xe Wranglers near me can charge up to maximum capacity in about two hours, so you’re never too far out from being back on the trail. This new Jeep 4xe in Edmond can run on electric-only for up to 21 miles, making it a silent trail master that puts out nearly zero emissions.

 

392 vs 4xe – What’s the best Jeep Wrangler?

wrangler 4xe in Edmond Oklahoma

When it comes down to it, the better new Wrangler is whatever fits your lifestyle the most seamlessly. For people that may use their Wrangler in Oklahoma City for commuting as well as weekend adventures, the gas-saving 4xe Jeep near me may be the best choice. 

 

Meanwhile, if you’re less concerned with going green or saving money on gas station fillups, you may prefer the raw power of the new Hemi Wrangler 392

 

Snarling launches or silent climbing? Ultimately, it’s up to you.

We’re your local Jeep dealership, and we’d love to help you get behind the wheel of either the 392 Jeep or the Jeep 4xe today, and at a payment that’s built to fit your budget.
