Sorry - try tredwear.com

That is the correct link...

Treadwear.com  You can add white letters to any tire you want.  I added redlines to the tires on my van and they look great!

Yeah unfortunately I'm sure it would be similar or worse than the one for Ohio I checked above.  Can't believe how much shipping is for these!

I know.  I can't figure out how Amazon makes money with the shipping.  I can buy tires and wheels from them at a great price and get them shipped for free.  Volume I suppose...

I'd love to have these and will probably end up ordering something similar from TireRack in the fall!  I thinking shipping would probably be a lot to VT though...

My thoughts? Tacky, but it's your vehicle.

 

Also, before anyone can offer you color ideas, it would be nice if they knew what color your Journey is.....

It's white (like in my profile pic)...

I'm thinking of adding a pinstripe to the Journey - something along the lines of this...

Any thoughts on the idea, and also on color suggestions?

I agree - you shouldn't have any problems as long as you don't overload the trailer...

It's interesting because most of the class III hitches available for the Journey are rated at 4000#, but yes the owner's manual does state

2500# for the 3.6...

Welcome - hope you find the forum helpful!

I've never been a big believer in these warranties, but it seems like a lot of people are getting them.  I guess I better give it a closer look.  The dealer offered a 5 year, 60K warranty for $1,200.  I passed but could easily still get it.  I don't recall who it was through.  I haven't been one to keep cars for a real long time in the past, however its my intention to keep this car for quite a while.  Sounds like I need to give this some thought...

Another thing came to mind.  If you are looking for an extended warranty shop around.  You can get them over the Internet.  Exact same Mopar warranty your dealer sells.

I just bought a Jeep and got my MaxCare Lifetime Warranty from Clay ar Robbins motors.  First rate guy.  Was $700 cheaper then my dealer (who wouldn’t match his price). 

 

Try  him at  clay@robbinsmotors.com.   Very upfront, will answer your questions.

 

if you haven’t done so already make an account on   Mopar.com. You will see all kinds of things about your Journey including recalls, owners booklet, repairs, etc.

 

Welcome!

Thank you for the info - much appreciated!!!

It's factory installed camera that cost m  $363 installed at my dealership with a dodge accessory %15 off coupon.  The wires were already in the lift gate, so no extra cost in running the wiring harness.  You could probably do it cheaper your self, then pay a small fee from the dealer to put the sales code into your uconnect to activate the camera.  For me, I figured the cost wasnt' that bad and just let them do it all.

 

If you wanted to do it yourself, the same part number for 2015 found on ebay for oem backup camera (82212553ab) was used on my 2016.

Nice looking DJ and good price! We've got the same exact 2017 Crossroad and love it. Same color and trim. Last November I had local Dodge dealership add backup OEM camera as well. $595 out of the door. The part was $360 plus labor. The vehicle does not come pre-wired for the camera. The tech had to actually run wires from the screen all the way to the back. I watched him doing it. Works great. I had to come back, though, since he forgot to hook up license plate lights. Other than that no issues. I had called 3 different dealerships and this was the lowest price. Main difference was the amount of hours each required to do the work.

Also, to enable GPS they charge $500 or so. Takes only 15 min. 

Thank you both for the advice.  I'll have to get my taxes paid first, but hopefully its something I can add this summer...

Big Congrats on the new Crossroad.  I didn't think I would like it as much as I do myself.  I find it very versitle and does great in the snow so far  (AWD version).  The options are just enough to keep me happy too.  I didn't get the backup camera but did have it added after purchase.  Price wasn't to bad either installed by the dealer.  Nav would have been nice, but not a necessary item for me.

 

I really like the color too.  Saw that same color in person just the other day and REALLY liked it.

Thanks!  Do you mind me asking the approximate cost to add the backup camera?  Is it the "factory" unit or aftermarket?  Just curious...  I'm pleased so far and hopefully I'll enjoy it for a long time...

Welcome! Good thinking getting a 17 early on in the year... I'm sure you got a good price, they have crazy incentives on 2017 models. Which trim/options did you get? 

I got the Crossroad - not a ton of options, but I don't feel like I'm missing anything.  Probably the only thing I'd like to have that I don't is a backup camera, but for $20K out the door I'm quite happy!

The car is great!  Between discounts and rebates, I got $9750 off of the MSRP - hard to beat that!

^^^^^Following up on this - I am also wondering if lowering springs are available for a 2017 FWD 3.6...

Picking up my new 2017 Journey tomorrow and decided the forum was a good place to start.  I'm looking forward to learning the ins and outs of the Journey, and possibly adding some mods down the road!
