JOJOPINTO Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Hi all I finally picked up my 2011 Journey RT AWD last night, my trade was a 2007 ram 1500 QC with a hemi, so far I really like this new rig, man is it comfortable, rides nice and way better on gas...LOL Here are a few few photo's taken this morning, the quality is not that great as it was -16c and i was in a hurry...:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmttoxics Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Yours came with the flashlight in the rear! My crew didn't but the 2010 sxt I had did! Arg. Looks great though, dig the leather seats. I take it yours is a 5 seater? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOJOPINTO Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Ya I just noticed the light back there...Yes it is a 5 seater I don't know anyone that could possibly fit in the third row so i put the $1400 into navigation and driver convenience package, something that is useful....I also liked the extra storage in the floor and the cargo cover in the rear...

zmttoxics Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I dig the 5 seater more for sure. Don't regret that decision for a second. I got stuck with this 7 seater crew as it was the only 2011 on the lot and the ones that were ordered were also 7 seater (my 2010 was written off).

FleshWound Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 very very nice, congrats on your new ride. did you remove the cross members on the roof rack or did it not have any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOJOPINTO Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 It did not have any cross members when I picked it up, I asked the salemen where they were and he said they dont come with it....Does anyone know if it's supose to have them?

zmttoxics Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 It is an order option. Both of my journeys only came with the side rails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbiccum Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Nice pics. Mine should come in next week. R/t. Can you confirm if the little diplay behind the wheel. What does it show for gps info? Does it tell you to turn left on the road coming up? Does it have any graphical info? Fill me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOJOPINTO Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Yes the center display shows GPS info when you next turn is about 2km away, once you make the turn it returns back to where you had it, you can turn the feature on and off in the settings, also you can just hit the back button on the steering wheel to get rid of it...I usually mute my gps do its a great feature to bring your attention to the next turn...

Windancer Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hi all I finally picked up my 2011 Journey RT AWD last night Looks good! I have some questions though, one has already been asked and that is have you removed the roofrack croassmembers already? My car came with them, although I'm sure if they are standard or an option. Did the chrome sill plates with Dodge written on them come with the car or did you purchase them separately? I have to admit I do like your dash and GPs more than my 2010 AWD R/T dash etc. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOJOPINTO Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 The sill plates are puchased seperatly and do not come with it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windancer Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 The sill plates are puchased seperatly and do not come with it... Thanks, I was just curious as i have added some chrome to my ride mirrors, sill plates and gas tank cover to start with. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cat man Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 JOJOPINTO Nice ride same as the one i order but with bluetooth.Can you share some more info for us that are waiting like the 3.6 power,mileage,interior & the tec package. Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOJOPINTO Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 So far I love it, its impossible to keep clean inside and out because of the black everywhere, the power of the v6 is quite adequate I was driving a dodge ram with a Hemi before this and so far so good..I have only gone 600km so far but the mileage better get better, so far its better than my truck but I am hoping for greater improvements, it's hard to tell with short trips and continually auto starting the Journey as its still really cold here in the am...My first tank was 14l per 100km but I have been driving it pretty hard to break it in, lots of WOT and lots for cruising also, i have reset the fuel meter at highway speed and been able to maintain 8.8 l per 100km when traveling distance so I do see the potential... I love all of the gizmo's and options on it, my favorite being the touch to unlock, and push to start, never having to worry about fumbling with the stupid keys as they just stay in your pocket...i really hate the fact that you cant input a address in the gps when in motion weather you are the passenger or the driver as soon as i get a wiring diagram for the U-connect that crap will be removed... I find the seats comfortable and well supporting I like them better than my truck, there is not as much room but that is expected from a smaller ride, so far i have had no problems or even concerns with anything on the Journey but again time will tell...

I think you need the MyGig Lockpick for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOJOPINTO Posted February 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 You are correct but its not compatible with the 2011 U-connect 8.4 touch screen as of yet, I am crossing my fingers that it will be soon... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2011mainmango Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 very nice journey, can't go wrong with the brilliant black, that's what color my 2010, my 2011 will be mango tango. and it really makes me excited that someone who has had a hemi vehicle be very impressed with the power of the new pentastar v6.
