Needless to say, the Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited already have pretty respectable American credentials. However, the Wrangler's military history isn't factored into its top ranking in the Cars.com 2017 American-Made Index (AMI) -- which makes it even more impressive that this dynamic duo took the number one spot.

A lot of factors were considered when selection the "most American-made" vehicle for 2017. For one, the Wrangler is assembled in Ohio. And secondly, over 90 percent of parts come from within 1,500 miles of the Toledo plant. A comprehensive list of AMI criteria is as

We like to say something "isn't your mother's..." when we're trying to emphasize its modern or edgy design. And, sure, we could say that about the Chrysler Pacifica, in a figurative sense.

When it comes to pickup trucks, Long Island and Hempstead area drivers have plenty of options. The market is saturated with a variety of light-duty models that, at first glance, may be difficult to distinguish between. However, upon closer inspection, the Ram 1500 clearly leads the herd in refinement, efficiency, and cleverness. This is a do-all work truck that easily doubles as a daily driver.

The Ram 1500 provides plenty of hauling and towing capability. Its smooth suspension also provides plenty of comfort, as does its attractive interior materials. A trio of strong engines allows you

Do you think of minivans as forgettable? Someone better tell auto critics that because they are obsessing over the premier 2017 Chrysler Pacifica.

There's no way around it -- winter has finally arrived on Long Island. If you haven't yet, we suggest switching over to your winter tires and winter wipers, as well as having your vehicle's battery, engine, fluid levels, etc. inspected so that Mother Nature's merciless frigid temperatures don't exasperate a potential or existent problem.
