Dodge SUVs and crossovers are known for their high quality and for providing tons of utility. But did you know that you can get even more out of these already exceptional vehicles? This is possible through accessories, whether you want something to make the vehicle more practical, stylish, or comfortable. Check out these additions for Dodge SUVs and Crossovers and see why they're useful. Roof Racks and Carriers Many Dodge SUVs and crossovers have side roof rails, which is excellent for adding a roof-mounted cargo container to your vehicle. You can get more utility out of your vehicle, for example, with additional roof racks and carriers. For example, J-style carriers are designed specifically for kayaks and are a must if you want to carry multiple kayaks on your roof or don't have a center rail to put the watercraft on. Similarly, you can find racks designed specifically for snowboards and skis. This is another must if you want to carry this type of equipment using a rack designed to retain this type of gear safely and without damaging your vehicle's paint. All-Weather Liners It's easy to ignore how important floor mats are in a car, but the first time you try to climb into your SUV or crossover with muddy boots, you'll wish you had all-weather mats. These are a must for anybody who plans to get outdoors with their Dodge. These use a different type of material than the standard cloth mats, so you can remove them and hose them down whenever they get dirty. This is useful since other materials don't come clean so easily. Don't stop with your floor mats, though. If you're planning on loading the trunk space of your SUV with equipment, you can get a special all-weather liner made for that area. This way, you can haul outdoor gear, get it as muddy as you want, and not have to worry about staining your interior when you head home. Vacuum If you have kids or plan on frequently road tripping in your Dodge, there's no avoiding an eventual mess. This is especially true if your adventures will take you anywhere you might track dirt back into your vehicle. You can preserve the interior by cleaning messes quickly using a vacuum made for SUVs and crossovers. Organizers Organizers are a great way to keep your car from getting messy and can be a lifesaver if you plan on camping, fishing, or doing any other outdoor activity. These come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from boxes and totes that fit in the trunk of your SUV or crossover to bags that hang behind the driver's or passenger's seat. These accessories can totally change your experience behind the wheel of a new or used Dodge, and many of them are available to add when you're building your vehicle. When you visit Bob Ruwart Motors to check out the inventory or go for a test drive, ask about these and other available accessories to help you get more from your ride. Image via Flickr by Hugo-90
When it comes to spacious, capable, and dependable family SUVs, very few vehicles have made a name for themselves like the iconic Chevrolet Suburban.

You're going to love the 2018 Chevrolet Suburban because it more than lives up to the expectations its name inspires. A Big Engine for Big Power The 2018 Chevrolet Suburban comes standard with a powerful 5.3-litre EcoTec3 V-8 engine. This engine provides you with an astounding 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. All of that adds up to a towing capacity that maxes out at a whopping 8,300 lbs. If you think all of that power is going to suck down fuel at an alarming rate, think again. The 2018 Suburban boasts an impressive 16 mpg on city streets and up to 23 mpg on highways. Those numbers may not seem like much but, when you consider you're looking at a full-size SUV with a V-8 engine, they're actually pretty impressive. more More Room Than You'll Know How to Use Most people look at vehicles this large because size is important to them. Whether you're concerned with making room for a large family or you need to maximize your cargo space, the 2018 Suburban has you more than covered. With seating that can fit eight passengers comfortably, you'll have a hard time finding enough people to fill this SUV to capacity. Cargo space is equally as impressive, starting at 39.3 cubic feet with all of the rear seats up. Depending on how much additional space you need though, you can configure your rear seats to provide up to a maximum of 121.7 cubic feet. If you need much more than that, you may need to consider renting a moving van for the weekend. Connectivity for Everyone When it comes to connected mobile technologies, it's virtually impossible to please everybody due to the variable nature of devices like smartphones and built-in infotainment systems. The 2018 Chevrolet Suburban addresses this issue by providing multiple levels of onboard connectivity. If you'd like to use the vehicle's built-in interface, you'll have instant access to Bluetooth connectivity and available onboard navigation. If you'd like to access the navigation and streaming apps on your phone, however, this is also made possible thanks to support for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Once you've paired your smartphone of choice to the Suburban, you'll be able to access all of your favorite apps through the vehicle's touch-screen interface, making life a lot easier for people who prefer Android or iOS connectivity.
