Generational Legacy and Local Commitment: The Hawkins Growth Story
​The story of our dealership is rooted in deep family tradition, hard work, and a steadfast commitment to central Pennsylvania motorists. The foundation was established back in 1967 when Doug Hawkins purchased a local auto business along Route 11 and established a dealership centered around personal relationships and dependable service. That passion for automotive care was passed down to his son Jim, and eventually to third-generation owner Josh Hawkins.
​The 2026 Ram 1500 offers impressive towing capacity up to 12,750 pounds when properly equipped, powered by advanced Hurricane inline-six engines that surpass Ford’s EcoBoost V6 in performance. With a starting price around $42,000 and trims ranging to nearly $88,000, it delivers both rugged capability and upscale comfort. Central Pennsylvania buyers can explore a full lineup and custom options at Hawkins Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Danville.
