Technology And Robustness Mesh Together In The Lastest Chevy Trucks
Chevrolet states in its latest advertising campaigns that it is “A Legacy Built On Dependability.” This is so true when you consider the Chevy truck. In 2008, Chevy introduced three new truck models to the world. That is why the Avalanche, Colorado, and Silverado are the best trucks in their class. Check out Chevy auto parts online to see what is available.
Silverado’s rock-solid chassis makes it a favorite choice of country tough guys. When you have to travel the bumpiest dirt roads in America with a large load in the bed, you want something that can get the job done. Bragging comes second nature to Chevy truck owners. Some even brag that their truck would be handed down for generations to come. This Chevy truck is packed with excellent features such as plush seats, power steering, and a huge towing capacity. With the power under the hood to get the job done, Silverado’s powerful 6.6L V8 Turbo diesel can take on rugged terrain or smoothly haul a a large load down miles of interstate highway.
For guys who love sporty vehicles, you can’t beat the versatility of the Chevy Avalanche. What sportier truck enthusiasts love about it is that it is so flexible. Most obvious is the innovative system to make the truck bed longer. What happens is that the rear seats fold down, rear glass removes, and the midgate system drops down. Essentially it turns it from a crew cab short bed to a two door long bed pickup. After the midgate is folded down, you could even use the rear bed as a comfortable sleeping quarter if necessary. Outdoor enthusiasts really love the sporty flexibility of this midgate feature. Mountaineers will love it, because they can put two tents in the truck bed without having to pitch a base camp tent.
Environmentally conscious truck drivers will love to have a fuel-saving truck that can also same performance. The Chevy Colorado is now using a smaller 3.5L engine and still packing a nice punch. Surprisingly enough, this particular truck was designed with the help of Isuzu automobile engineers. The truck sports a lot of great features that makes for a comfortable ride.
Because there are times when trucks have to go long distances with a load, it was a great idea by Chevrolet to make more options for entertainment and communications. Equipped with CD/MP3 entertainment and state-of-the-art Radio Data System compatible radio systems, Chevy outdoes itself. The latest Avalanche model offers blue tooth, navigation radio, XM satellite, and OnStar. Everything you need to stay connected to the world.
GM actually now uses a new technology that can save on gas. It is called the Active Fuel Management system. This innovative technology switches the engine from 8 cylinder to a more fuel efficient 4 cylinder mode for times when there is not much need for lots of power. The truck’s on-board computer does everything automatically as you drive to switch between the modes.
Chevrolet let the world know that it was dedicated to changing the status quo when it came to environmental issues and their trucks. They incorporated the latest E85 ethanol blended fuel technology into their latest truck models. There are many benefits to burning ethanol. Ethanol is much more efficient when it comes to the gases that come out the tailpipe when compared to gasoline made from refined petroleum only. Climate change is becoming an issue that the auto industry can no longer ignore and Chevrolet is truly creating an “American Revolution” in terms of changing the status quo in Detroit.
Chevy trucks these days are tough and environmentally friendly. It doesn’t have to be one or the other. If you don’t have a new Chevy truck, with cash for clunkers being popular, the time is right to try out the latest innovations in truck technology. If you buy one, you won’t ever regret it!
