Best Bustard Chrysler’s Picks for Summer Road Trips
Posted on July 11, 2025
Ontario summers are made for road trips. Whether it’s cruising through the backroads of Kitchener-Waterloo, heading to the shores of Lake Huron, or exploring the winding trails near Elora, nothing beats hitting the road with windows down and good music playing. The right vehicle turns that trip into something unforgettable. That’s where we come in. We’ve got a few picks here at Bustard Chrysler that are made for long drives, open skies, and outdoor fun.
2025 Ram 2500 - A Strong Travel Partner
The Ram 2500 is the big truck that handles heavy loads with ease. It offers a diesel engine option that gives strong torque and decent highway mileage. It can tow up to 9,072 kg, enough to pull a travel trailer or a boat. On the highway, fuel economy can hit 4.8 L/100 km thanks to the eTorque Mild Hybrid technology. The cabin feels smooth and modern with soft seats and space to stretch out. Whether you’re towing a camper to a lake or bringing gear for a weekend, the Ram 2500 is built to make it easy, not just possible.
2025 Jeep Gladiator - Built for Adventure
The Jeep Gladiator blends pickup utility with Jeep-style fun. Power comes from a 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 with 285 horsepower, achieving 13.7L/100km in the city and 10.7L/100km on the highway. The truck bed is perfect for campers, BBQs, or kayaks. Off-road, it feels ready for gravel roads and trails near the Grand River. A 12.3-inch touchscreen runs Uconnect 5, and heated seats and mirrors make it comfortable for every Ontario morning. If you like to explore backroads or sandy beaches, the Gladiator makes summer feel adventurous and genuine.
2025 Jeep Wrangler - A True Summer Classic
The Jeep Wrangler is Canada’s favourite for summer rides. The V6 version has 270 horsepower and 295 lb‑ft of torque, with 11 L/100 km combined fuel economy. It’s zippy on highways and fun off the grid. The doors and roof can come off, making drivers feel free. Trail ratings and power let it tackle uneven paths with ease. It comes with an available Wrangler 4xe PHEV trim that offers 10.7 L/100 km city, 9.8 L/100 km highway, and up to 35 km all-electric range. This means you can enjoy quiet drives around Waterloo before heading out into nature. This model blends efficiency and outdoor fun in a way that feels just right for Canadian summers.
