Mopar Has Over A Thousand New Ways To Modify Your Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Or Chrysler
View post: Walmart is selling a 'heavy-duty' $429 rolling storage cabinet for $190, and shoppers love the 'quality and design' View post: Lamborghini Wants To Give The Temerario Something The Gallardo Balboni Was Famous For Mopar Just Made Modifications Much Easier Stellantis has just announced that its Mopar division is expanding the range of accessories available to Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles, with more than 1,000 newly available accessories on offer and more being regularly added from more than 40 supplying partners. 'We're partnering with our most trusted and popular suppliers to enhance convenience and accessory choice options for customers and dealers, providing a one-stop shop and sales experience,' said senior VP of Mopar North America, Darren Bradshaw. So what can buyers look forward to? Roof Rails, Suspension Lifts, And More The wide variety of accessories on the Mopar eStore includes things like a foldable cooler, floor liners, cargo bins, license plate frames, roof racks, roof boxes, racing stripes, stainless steel pedal covers, and lower suspension springs. Cat-back exhaust systems and cold air intake kits are also on offer for vehicles like the Durango, while off-roaders like the Jeep Gladiator and Wrangler benefit from upgrades like additional lighting systems, snorkel kits, tube doors, skid plates, and a Bilstein-based 2-inch lift kit. More aggressive bumpers, wheels, and fender flares are also on offer, while those who like to relax may be interested in an audio upgrade. Interestingly, Mopar has even added a couple of accessories for the all-electric Dodge Charger Daytona, though these are limited to things like floor mats, door sill guards, and charging cables. Dodge intended for the EV to be upgradeable using what it calls 'Power Crystals,' but with sales proving vastly underwhelming, it remains to be seen if there will be any demand for the extra power, especially with a gas model on the way. Personalization With Peace Of Mind If you're after something specific for your vehicle, it's worth browsing the extensive selection of accessories available for each model, because there's everything from rock sliders, dash cameras, and HitchFire grills to Tuffy Safes, bed caps, and various tents. Some of these installations will require more mechanical knowledge than others, but the best part of the Mopar program is that owners of new or old vehicles can have these enhancements ordered and fitted by their local dealer. 'The Mopar Affiliated Accessories program enhances customer experience by offering easy access to the most popular accessories that buyers crave,' according to Matt Godfrey, general sales manager at Golling Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram. 'We've seen a definite increase in the amount of upfits from the program, and at the end of the day, our dealership and our customers win with this one-stop-shop option.' Each supplier – Thule, AccuAir, Competition Specialties, et cetera – is responsible for the warranties on their respective accessories, but Mopar has reviewed each of them to ensure proper fitment. As Mopar-approved upfits, these parts shouldn't impact the vehicle warranty. About the Author Sebastian Cenizo View Profile

Stellantis to build $388M parts distribution hub in Metro Detroit
Stellantis NV said Wednesday it will build a $388 million parts distribution hub in Van Buren Township, Michigan, that will consolidate several other Midwest facilities. The new Mopar facility, called the Metro Detroit Megahub, is expected to open in 2027 and will staff up with about 488 United Auto Workers-represented employees. The Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram maker said the project is part of a broader consolidation strategy for its parts distribution centers. It recently sold two of its Michigan parts facilities, in Center Line and Marysville, Michigan, as well as one in Milwaukee. Those facilities are continuing to operate under sale-leaseback agreements until the new Detroit hub opens. Staff for the facility will come from the company's Mopar sites in Center Line, Warren and Warren Sherwood, as well as the Milwaukee location. Meanwhile, workers from the closing Marysville center will shift over to staff the Warren and Warren Sherwood parts centers. The Warren Sherwood location will be upgraded and is set to remain remain open long-term, Stellantis spokesperson Frank Matyok said; a company announcement said it will serve as an "e-coat upfitting facility." The 2023 labor pact between Stellantis and the UAW laid out plans for several consolidated parts hubs, including this Detroit-area one. The automaker said it already has invested about $120 million to boost its parts and services operations since the the contract was finalized, including a new distribution site in East Fishkill, New York, and upgrades to existing Mopar sites. "Our customers count on us to deliver the right part, at the right time, every time," Darren Bradshaw, senior vice president and head of Mopar North America, said in a statement. "With the Metro Detroit Megahub, we're building a faster, smarter and more reliable parts distribution network that puts their needs first." The Detroit hub, like the New York state Mopar facility that has been open for several months, will be equipped with automated storage and retrieval systems to help pull parts for customers faster. Called AutoStore, it uses a series of small robots that move above a grid to storage bins to grab parts and deliver them to workers on the floor, where they are packaged and processed for shipping. UAW spokespeople did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC. Portions copyrighted by the respective providers.

Stellantis opens automated parts distribution center in New York's Hudson Valley
This story was originally published on Automotive Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Automotive Dive newsletter. Stellantis has opened a new Mopar parts distribution facility in the Hudson Valley's East Fishkill, New York, a move the company said will enhance its services across the Northeast, according to an April 24 press release. The new facility, which covers more than 500,000 square feet, has more than 46,000 unique parts in stock. Stellantis invested $64 million to open the center, which has capacity to fulfill more than 2 million shipments each year, per the release. Darren Bradshaw, Mopar SVP for North America, said the center boosts the company's supply chain, 'accelerating delivery times and reinforcing our commitment to dealer and customer satisfaction,' per his statement in the release. Mopar is Stellantis' parts and accessories arm, supplying replacement and custom parts to Stellantis dealerships as well as aftermarket customers. The facility is one of 21 parts distribution centers Stellantis operates across the country. However, it is the first in the U.S. to use 'AutoStore' technology, which automates parts storage and retrieval. The system is composed of 40 robots that retrieve parts from more than 70,000 bins and deliver them to be processed for shipment by staff. AutoStore, a Norway-based company, claims that its system 'quadrupl[es] capacity' for warehouses, according to the company website. The new East Fishkill facility is the result of a merger between the former Mopar parts centers in Tappan, New York; and Boston, due in part to the AutoStore system enabling a smaller warehouse footprint. 'This state-of-the-art automation significantly enhances parts order completion speed, accuracy and dependability while minimizing the warehouse footprint needed for inventory storage,' the press release said of AutoStore. Roughly 100 workers will staff the East Fishkill parts distribution center.
