March 9-11, 2018 | Oklahoma State Fair Park This weekend, join our Lawton Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram team at the 2018 OKC International Auto Show. Though we in Lawton have to make the trek to Oklahoma City, it's well worth the trip. As the only International Auto Show in the state, this event is a great opportunity to see all the newest innovations from the major automotive manufacturers up close. All of our favorites will be there, including RAM, Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep. In addition to the newest cars, trucks and SUVs, you'll see some of the outstanding classic cars and trucks the show has to offer. We look forward to seeing our fellow Lawton residents there.

At Lawton Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM, we aim to give back to our Oklahoma community whenever we can. One way we can do that is by hosting blood drives at our dealership. Our first Blood Drive benefitting the American Red Cross of Oklahoma was held on October 11, 2017. We were fortunate to have a successful drive, which gathered enough blood to help save 30 lives. Though it's a quick and simple act, donating blood is a great way to positively impact another person's life. That's why we want to encourage our community to come out to our next drive event. The details of any of our upcoming events are listed on our Facebook page. If you would like to inquire about other opportunities to donate, just go to redcrossblood.org.

Only in Texas can you find something called the Texas Truck Rodeo. The Texas Truck Rodeo is an annual event organized by the Texas Auto Writers Association. The many different trucks manufactured that year are put to the ultimate test. Both on-road and off-road tests are completed over the course of the day. The writers then decide which trucks are the best in a variety of categories. Twenty-four awards are decided on, and given out! FCA US brands won eight of the twenty-four possible awards making up one-third of the accolades! Michael Marrs, president of the Texas Auto Writers Association, said of the achievement, "The Truck Rodeo was extremely competitive this year with a record number of media and vehicle entries, so it's impressive that the FCA brands received top awards in numerous categories." The following FCA vehicles won recognition at the 2015 Texas Truck Rodeo: Full-Size Pickup Truck: 2016 Ram 1500 Heavy Duty Pickup Truck: 2016 Ram 2500 Mid-Size SUV: 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Mid-Size Luxury SUV: Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Compact SUV: 2016 Jeep Cherokee Off-Road Utility Vehicle:  2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Compact Crossover Utility Vehicle: 2015 Jeep Renegade Full-Size SUV: 2015 Dodge Durango

For the first time in 20 years, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles have topped the Strategic Vision Total Quality Awards, thanks to the strength of six segment leaders from Jeep, Ram, Dodge, and Fiat. According to Strategic Vision, cars keep getting better and better every year, making it more and more difficult for a single winner to stand out in each category. The organization measured over 155 specific aspects of more than 46,000 customers' experiences with new vehicles. In the Specialty Coupe category, the Dodge Challenger tied at the top with the MINI Cooper Countryman (which is strangely not a coupe). The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited scored highest in the Entry SUV segment, as did the Dodge Durango among Mid-Size SUVs. Finally, Ram was named the Best Non-Luxury Brand, which, in terms of total quality, helped FCA achieve the highest overall score! Make sure to check out our inventory at Lawton Chrysler to see if you spot any of them! "FCA has incrementally risen from one segment leader in 2010 to six segment leaders in 2015. Though at Strategic Vision we often preach about looking forward, it's hard to not be in admiration of the turn-around achieved by FCA (Chrysler) company employees," says Strategic Vision Senior Vice President Christopher Chaney.

What is it about the irresistible notification sound of an incoming text? A sound that puts your actions into auto drive - find phone, read text. Unless you physically can't get your phone, or forget that message came in, it can seem impossible to just wait. With such a temptation by our sides every time we get behind the wheel, it's not difficult to understand why texting and driving has become such a problem, and why it's so hard to kick the habit. The unfortunate truth is that if we don't kick the texting-and-driving habit (no matter how little it happens) the outcome can become be deadly. Next time you get behind the wheel, and every time after that, make a conscious decision to put the phone out of reach. Each time you fight the urge to grab that phone, you'll be creating a new, healthier habit. And if this reminder isn't enough, check out The Newswheel's handy (and scary) infographic detailing the deadly statistics behind the texting and driving epidemic. Here at Lawton Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we encourage you to join us and take the pledge against texting and driving on AT&T's website. It could mean the difference between life and death.
