RAM 2500 for sale in Brookings

n

South Dakotans are known for working hard, and deserve a truck that will match their strong work ethic. 

n

From towing, to hauling, and everything in between, the newest heavy-duty RAM truck for sale in Brookings is ready to help you tackle any job. And since RAM produces America’s longest-lasting heavy-duty truck,* this is one “coworker” you’ll have around for a long time.  

n

Let’s explore our favorite feature of the new 2020 RAM 2500 for sale in Brookings!

n

Design and Styling

n

RAM 2500 truck bed

n

You’ll have no problem making a statement on the streets of Brookings in the RAM 2500 with an upscale exterior design that includes a large grille, striking LED headlamps and taillights, and a sophisticated truck bed.  

n

Speaking of the truck bed, the 2020 RAM 2500 features a strut that connects the rear box pillar to the tailgate to serve as a damber, allowing for easier opening and closing. 

n

And if you ever need to load or unload cargo in less than ideal lighting, the LED bed lighting will come in handy so that you don’t need to stop working! 

n

Rounding out the impressive exterior features are the power running boards that automatically deploy when a door opens will help you get in and out of your truck with ease.

n

And the interior? The 2020 RAM 2500 Limited features 100{83951c3c923d19e44167f79798e64c4aae41df40e53a089bc0d08f070d69866f} leather seating and accents made from real wood and aluminum

“Strong” and “powerful” aren’t good enough words to describe the engine lineup of the RAM 2500, so you’ll just have to trust us that this truck’s capability is like nothing we’ve ever seen!

Shop Ford Escapes for sale Brookings

n

The Ford Escape isn’t new to Ford’s already impressive lineup of SUVs, but the redesigned 2020 model will almost feel like a completely new vehicle!

n

Find out what’s new as we break down the top features of this SUV for sale in Brookings. 

n

Design and Style

n

Ford Escape for sale in Brookings

n

Sleeker, sportier, and downright show stopping, the 2020 Ford Escape shows up in a big way. 

n

The new model appears more compact, however; it is actually slightly longer, wider, and lower than previous models. It also has a lower beltline that allows for larger windows. 

n

Even with the longer and wider body, the 2020 Escape for sale in Brookings actually weighs less than the 2019 model! This is because Ford incorporated the use of more high-strength steel in the body of the SUV, which helps with agility and general driveability. 

n

The available Panoramic Vista Roof® features a large forward panel that tilts up, or opens fully to allow for natural light. 

n

More room is never a bad thing, especially in the front-row of SUVs. The Escape’s new rotary gear shift dial opens up premium space in the center console. The second-row  60/40 split-fold seats now have a new sliding feature for more cargo space and best-in-class second-row legroom of 40.7 inches!*

Hit the roads of Brookings and beyond in the 2020 Escape with its standard 1.5L EcoBoost® engine. This powerful, yet efficient engine comes with Auto Start-Stop Technology that can help lower fuel consumption and vehicle emissions when your vehicle comes to a stop. 

n

Since we experience ALL weather types in South Dakota, the Escape’s selectable drive modes will certainly come in handy. The different modes are: Eco, Sport, Normal, Slippery, and Deep Snow/Sand

n

Once selected, each of these driving modes can modify the stability control system and traction control system, helping you stay safe on the road no matter the conditions.

50 years as a Brookings car dealership

n

If you have been able to stop by our Brookings car dealership in the last few weeks, you’ll know the energy running through our veins. This month we are celebrating 50 years as Einspahr Auto Plaza. It’s been a fun time at the dealership as we offer special incentives and hosted an open house which included food trucks, special presentations and a lot of nostalgia.

n

At our employee appreciation breakfast, we welcomed distinguished guests from Ford Motor Company to speak. They awarded Ron and the dealership with a 50th anniversary plaque which will be proudly displayed on the showroom floor.

n

n

During the evening we stocked up the service bay with drinks and food from local food trucks. A few dignitaries stopped by to congratulate us and celebrate as well. There were so many well wishes, customers, previous employees, that the evening brought great joy to our Einspahr family and team members.

n

So many people came to celebrate, we lost track of the numbers! Thank you, if you were able to join us. We donated all of the free-will offering from each food truck to the Boys & Girls Club of Brookings

n

Our legacy at Einspahr is 50 years in the making. In November, we’ll be celebrating a big milestone with an open house. Stop by on Thursday, November 7 from 4 to 8 p.m. and share your favorite memories with us. We’ll have door prizes, food and refreshments, and a special proclamation at 6:30 p.m. 

n

We sat down and had a Q & A session with the founder, Ron Einspahr, owner of our Brookings car dealership to chat about some of his memories from the last 50 years.

n

 

n

When did you decide to buy the Brookings Ford dealership? 

n

Ron: I worked in Omaha for Ford Motor Company for five years. I called on dealers in this area. When the Brookings car dealership was put on the market, the previous owner asked if I’d be interested. 

n

I went back home and talked with my father-in-law and at 28, he told me there’s only one way to find out if I could make it and that to become a dealer principal. I was the youngest Ford dealer in America at that time but I knew it was a great community and would be the key to a great business opportunity.

n

 

n

How do you keep employee longevity at Einspahr? 

n

Ron: I find good people, with good morals and good attitudes. But it’s their job to be experts in car repair or selling a car and I have always trusted them to know what they are doing. We ask them for advice, and if there are improvements to be made, we have them by our side. I think that has really played into the high retention rates we have.

n

 

n

How has the car industry changed in 50 years?

n

Ron: When I started in 1969 there were 303 South Dakota new car dealers in the state of South Dakota, now there are less than 100. In the high-interest years, we lost a lot of farmers as well as South Dakota car dealers. 

n

The internet has changed a lot of the buying experience as well. You used to drive to a car dealership and walk around viewing all of the cars for sale. It took hours! With the internet today, it speeds up the buying process and lets people find exactly what they need. We can find exactly what someone needs in a fraction of the time.

n

n

Celebrate with Einspahr

n

On Thursday, November 7, 2019, from 4 to 8 p.m. we’ll be hosting an open house for our 50-year celebration. We invite not only customers but past employees and the Brookings community to celebrate with our team.

n

Join us for door prizes, great food and refreshments, as well as a video booth so you can share your favorite Einspahr moments. At 6:30 p.m. we’ll have a special proclamation and a few other fun surprises so feel free to stick around. 

n

Over the past 50 years, Ron mentioned that we have always worked to treat our customers right. To all of the people who have helped us in business, thank you for all of the support. The community of Brookings and the surrounding area have been wonderful neighbors, friends, and supporters and we look forward to the next 50 years serving our Brookings community.
