A History of the Dodge Brand

Dodge has a long and storied history in the auto industry. It originated as the Dodge Brothers Company back in 1900, building various kinds of automobiles. Just before 1930, Dodge was brought under the Chrysler brand and has stayed connected to Chrysler ever since. The company really began to stand out, however, during the mid-to-late half of the twentieth century, especially during the 1960s, when the muscle car era was at its peak. It was then that Dodge became renowned for its powerful sedans and luxury cars, in addition to trucks and passenger vehicles.

Popular nameplates like the Challenger, Dart, and Charger were born out of the muscle car era and persisted in popularity for many years. These vehicles were put out of style due to geopolitics, causing the end of the muscle car and the rise of family-oriented sedans and passenger vehicles, such as chart-toppers like the Dodge Caravan. The brand then focused on trucks and family models throughout the '80s and '90s, with nameplates like the Caravan, Intrepid, and Ram helping redefine it.

Dodge managed to get back into the performance-car spotlight with models like the Daytona, Viper, and Stealth, thanks to the budding popularity of the V8 and V10 powertrains. This would also lay the foundations for other popular nameplates such as the Dodge Durango and later the redesigned Charger and Challenger during the aughts. Dodge thus revived the muscle car segment and, more recently, has embraced performative hybrids, with a focus on aggressive styling and accessible handling that appeals to the mass market.

Shop for a Brand-New Dodge

Dodge has cemented its legacy over the years as a go-to brand for performance vehicles, whether you're looking for a starter in the compact segment or something oriented toward families in the midsize segment. There are also performance models for drivers looking for something they can call their own-and with our help, you'll have all the information and tools necessary to find the perfect Dodge for your sensibilities.

That means being able to use our website to search through brand-new model-year outings for the latest Dodge nameplates, regardless of the segment, as well as being able to shop through the new model-year outings based on what's available on our lot. This gives you opportunities to explore and shop the way that you see fit. Whether you're shopping for a new family vehicle with a powerful performance profile or you're looking for a weekend cruiser that can burn rubber and put a lot of torque down off the starting line, whatever kind of Dodge you're looking to own, we can help you find the right combination of model, trim, and features.

What's more is that shopping for a new Dodge affords you all the benefits that come with a brand-new model covered by a new vehicle warranty. This enables you to gain access to limited vehicle warranties covering replacement parts and maintenance for part failures. There are also available extended warranty options for those who want to explore them, along with the availability of a limited transferable warranty.

Browse Our Used Dodge Models

Shopping through our selection of used Dodge vehicles gives you access to previous model-year and older-generation vehicles; this includes some of the most recent outings, as well as late models that might appeal more to your aesthetics. Whether that's shopping for an older Dodge Charger because you like the way it looks or shopping for a newer model because you want a specific trim or performance package for the vehicle, it's all part of the benefit of shopping used.

We also carry other used models, such as older Durangos, for those looking for a midsize crossover SUV that provides you with plenty of interior cabin space and high-performance capabilities. It's the perfect vehicle for those looking for something affordable that has top-tuned engines like the HEMI V8. That's another benefit of buying a used Dodge: if you want a pure muscle car made for the modern era, we have used iterations of popular Dodge models in different trims, such as the Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack or the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat.

We also have shopping tools available to help you shop smarter for the Dodge you want. Maybe you're looking for a specific model by location or condition; you can also filter by the body type to find something specific, or you can filter by year, color, mileage, and even price. This tool gives you control over your shopping preferences that you won't find at any other Dodge dealer, but you will absolutely have these options when you shop with us.
