Close Prepare Your Ram for Off-Road Travel in Laurel, MS
If you're someone who loves to engage in off-road travel in your Ram 1500, 2500, or 3500, then we at Kim’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram have crafted this guide to provide some more details on this topic. After you’ve read the information below, be sure to pay us a visit in Laurel!
Mechanically Equipped Vehicle for Off-Road Travel
Before anything, it’s important to ensure that your Ram has the necessary tools and systems to facilitate safe off-roat travel. For example, 2WD won’t provide the necessary traction to handle mud or any terrain that might reduce traction. In those situations, you’ll want an AWD or 4WD drivetrain to help you pull through. Additionally, you'll want to ensure that your car is capable of swapping between multiple drive modes. This way, you can achieve optimum results off-road and on I-59 without making any compromises. You’ll also want to make sure that the suspension present in your model is capable of handling the rougher environment you’ll be driving across during this endeavor.
Research the Terrain
If you plan to pay a visit to Boston Park on your way back from your off-road journey, you’ll want to make sure that you’ve researched the terrain beforehand to avoid sustaining damage to your car. If you notice there are a lot of gravel roads, you might want to change your accessories accordingly. Cars can also get stuck in mud, so be sure to have the right set of tires to handle the job, as well as some mudflaps to minimize the amount of filth and debris that adheres to your model’s exterior. There are plenty of websites you can use to do the aforementioned research, one of which being Google Maps. If you find that you’re lacking in a certain area, feel free to visit our Parts Department so we can help!
Service and Maintenance
It’s also important that your car is caught up on any important maintenance procedures. For example, you’ll want to ensure that your windshield wipers are functioning properly so they can keep your view clear. Getting an oil change will make sure that your engine will be able to provide you with as much verve as possible. You’ll likely be doing a lot of braking during your excursion, so take the time to make sure that your brake pads and fluid are in good condition. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us so we can answer them for you!

“ Craig the Sales Manager needs to be trained immediately on how to speak with customers who are trying to purchase a vehicle or negotiate pricing. This Sales Manager was very loud, unprofessional with a customer, belittled, talking reckless, and just walking away causing a scene over negotiating a price for a truck. As a company this is UNACCEPTABLE. ”
“ Salemen never calls me back. Sales manager told me that the price would be lower within few days. I called back he said no price change. He showed me no interest, not important in making a deal. Yelling at me, this was unprofessional and bullying. More interested in just moving on to next customer.After all that, he walked off with other Salemen watching Friday afternoon March 28,2025. ”
