Jeep Wrangler - Last True SUV at Stallons Auto

Jeep Wrangler - Last True SUV at Stallons Auto Hopkinsville KY

When trying to define just what a Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) is, you can find lots of definitions. But, when you read automotive magazines, such as Road and Track, Car and Driver, and Motortrend, the SUV that all others are compared to is the Jeep Wrangler. At Stallons Auto in Hopkinsville, Kentucky we always keep the Jeep Wrangler in stock, because, like the automotive press, we know that the Wrangler is the ultimate SUV.

Jeep Wrangler’s Reputation for Survivability and Popularity

The Jeep Wrangler is the SUV that started service to the US military in World War II before such a thing as an SUV even existed. Making a name for itself for its durability, ruggedness, and performance, the Jeep of yesteryear still finds life inside the present-day Jeep. Timeless ruggedness, performance, and survivability are an integral part of the DNA of Jeep Wranglers, driving along the roads, highways and trails of America now. As a matter of fact, the 2019 Jeep Wrangler won Motortrend’s SUV of the year. And its traditional Jeep look was even updated this year.

Motortrend found what Jeep Wrangler owners have known for years: the Wrangler is capable (if it’s good for the military, it can handle USA streets just fine), it’s infinitely customizable with enough accessories to sink a battleship, it’s wildly popular, and holds its value better than any vehicle in America.

The capability and survivability of the Jeep Wrangler is legendary. The Jeep was designed to survive World War II and has survived every military action it was involved in since. This original design has made the Jeep Wrangler a more durable and dependable SUV at home.

Jeep Wrangler Resale Value Higher Than ALL Other Vehicles

A study by iSeeCars found that the Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited had a higher resale value after five years of vehicle ownership than any other vehicle. Quoting the study, “Jeeps earned the top two spots on the list, with the four-door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited having the lowest five years depreciation followed by its two-door counterpart, the Jeep Wrangler, by a fraction of a percentage point. Jeeps are known for retaining their value due to their enduring popularity, as well as their durability and performance across all terrains.” Jeep Wrangler is the ultimate high value, low depreciation SUV.

Endless Ways to Customize Your Jeep Wrangler

Another keystone to the Jeep Wrangler’s enduring success as the ultimate SUV is its fun and that it’s endlessly customizable. Depending on how you plan to use your Jeep, there is most certainly an accessory you can bolt on to make your Jeep life more fun. Whether on-road or off-road, Jeep accessories like front brush guards and nerf bars, running boards and side steps, winches and skid plates, not only make your Jeep more survivable and enjoyable, but also add to its resale value, further enhancing your Jeep investment. When you want an SUV that matches your personality, no other SUV has more ways to customize and accessorize than the Jeep Wrangler.

When you want to test drive the SUV that towers above all other SUVs, come to Stallons Auto in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Our team can show you why we always have the king of SUVs, the Jeep Wrangler, in stock ready to take on the most treacherous trails. And win.

Comparing Popular SUV Sizes

If you need a reliable SUV, it’s likely you’ll have a big decision when it comes to your SUV’s size. Do you need a full-size SUV that’s large enough for the entire family? A vehicle that features three rows? Something with enough cargo space? We break down the most popular SUV sizes with examples, so you can find the very best SUV that fits your needs.

Which Full-Size SUV is Right for Me?

When shopping for a vehicle, you’ll want to consider your lifestyle. Do you have a busy family that requires carpooling? Tow heavy items on a regular basis? You’ll want to shop and compare full-size SUVs. Full-size SUVs are the largest SUVs available on the market. In fact, many full-size SUVs feature three rows of seating, plus cargo room, so you can fit the entire family and all your gear. Some of the most popular full-size SUVs on the market include the Chevrolet Tahoe, the largest SUV in the Chevy lineup, the Ford Expedition, and the Toyota Sequoia. If you are looking to tow on a regular basis, we highly recommend the Chevrolet Tahoe as it has a towing capacity of up to 6,600 pounds. The Chevy Tahoe also offers 15.3 cubic feet of space when all the seats are in use and a whopping 94.7 cubic feet of space when the seats are folded down.

Finding a Reliable Mid-Size SUV near Hopkinsville, KY

Mid-size SUVs are slightly smaller than full-size SUVs and often offer rugged personalities and off-road capabilities. Mid-size SUVs offer comfortable seating for up to five and a decent amount of cargo room. Popular mid-size SUVs include Jeep Cherokees, Dodge Journeys, Ford Explorer, and Nissan Pathfinders. Mid-size SUVs are incredibly versatile and perfect for weekend errands and longer car trips.

Shop for a Compact SUV near Cadiz

Compact SUVs are ideal for individuals who want to shift into the SUV segment. Ideal for families and couples alike, compact SUVs offer a bit more cargo room than the traditional sedan, while balancing utility and comfort. When it comes to finding the best compact SUV, consumers have options. The Honda CR-V offers class-leading cargo volume and consistently comes out on top in terms of comfort and safety scores. In fact, the CR-V offers 39.2 cubic feet of space behind its back seat and 75.8 cubic feet of space when the second row is folded down. Other car enthusiasts love the Ford Escape and Mazda CX-5, which are great options in the compact SUV segment. In comparison to the CR-Vs cargo room, the Ford Escape offers 74 cubic feet of space when the seats are folded down, while the Mazda CX-5 offers 60 cubic feet.

What Types of Tasks Will the SUV Perform?

What are you going to do with your SUV? If it will be primarily city driving, there are a number of refined options available, such as a Nissan Rogue or Lincoln MKX. These vehicles pack in the amenities and provide comfort and luxury for city commutes.

Will you be using the SUV to venture off the beaten path? Many SUVs offer a lot of room and comfort but don't necessarily possess the chops to serve as true off-road vehicles. SUVs with beefier suspension and four-wheel drive are going help you plow through difficult terrains such as snow and mud. Vehicles like the Jeep Wrangler and the Toyota 4Runner are notable examples of a true off-roading SUV. Once you have decided between the rugged and the refined, you can move on to the next consideration.

Consider the Space of the Crossover & SUV

Today, there are several different sizes of crossovers and SUVs. And for you to make the best decision, it’s vital you understand each size. Let’s take a quick look at the different classes of crossovers and SUVs.

Different Sizes of Crossovers

Subcompact Crossover SUVs (Nissan Juke, Jeep Renegade, Honda HR-V, and Chevy Trax)
Compact Crossovers (Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape, Kia Soul, Jeep Compass, Hyundai Tucson, Honda CR-V, and Mazda CX-3)
Mid-Size Crossovers (Jeep Cherokee, Hyundai Sante Fe, Toyota Highlander, Nissan Pathfinder, Ford Edge, GMC Acadia, GMC Terrain, Honda Pilot, and Dodge Journey)
Full-Size Crossovers & Minivans (Ford Flex, Ford Explorer, Chevy Travers, Mazda CX-9, Toyota Sienna).

Different Classes of Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs)

Now that we’ve reviewed the different sizes of crossovers, let’s take a closer look at the different classes of SUVs.

Compact SUVs (Kia Sportage and Jeep Wrangler)
Midsize SUVs (Toyota 4Runner, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Kia Sorento)
Full-Size SUVs (Toyota Sequoia, Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon, Nissan Armada, Dodge Durango)

The Affordability of the Vehicle

You’ll need to have at least a rough idea of your price range before you begin shopping for any vehicle. Obviously, the more money you have to play around with, the greater the number of SUVs you will be able to consider. However, keep in mind the best SUVs are not necessarily the most expensive ones. The best ones are those built for your needs best.

When considering affordability, keep in mind this includes more than just the purchase price. Insuring the vehicle, maintaining it, and the fuel economy the SUV gets will all play a role in the ongoing amount it will cost to own.
