The SUV is the most popular auto segment in the US. SUVs provide ample seating and cargo space and an elevated driving position that enhances confidence and clarity, and their designs prioritize comfort, convenience, and connectivity. With this in mind, you will find that many brands offer a number of SUV options in their lineup, including Chevy. In fact, Chevy offers seven different SUV models, with two available as EVs, which means you have nine choices to consider when looking at this lineup. more You can view this extensive SUV lineup at LaFontaine Chevrolet St. Clair, your local Chevy dealer near Clinton Township. Our family of dealerships has had the same focus for more than sixty years: ensuring you’re treated like family. When you connect with us, either online or in person, you’ll find that we focus on what you need and want in a vehicle. If you’re in the market for an SUV, we invite you to check out the bowtie brand’s lineup, with models that include… The Classic Suburban The oldest SUV in the Chevy lineup is also the largest. Considered the first-ever SUV, the Chevy Suburban was first introduced in 1935; it offered seating for eight and was built on a truck chassis with a station wagon body. Today’s Suburban is still designed to haul large groups of people, with a seating capacity of up to nine, and it remains the longest-running nameplate in the American auto industry. US News & World Report has named the Suburban the best large SUV for families for multiple years running. It offers some of the most advanced technology in the industry, including Super Cruise, Chevy’s hands-free driving tool. This SUV also has a best-in-class cargo volume, ensuring there is room for everyone and everything. If a large SUV isn’t what you need, you might consider one of the following options… Trax and Trailblazer Size isn’t always the first thing on drivers’ minds when searching for an SUV. Many commuters around the Clinton Township area want a smaller SUV that focuses on efficiency and is easy to maneuver in tight spaces like parking garages and city streets. Understanding this, you will want to check out the two SUVs at the subcompact end of Chevy’s lineup, the Trax and the Trailblazer. Both options are perfect for commuters or individual drivers who simply want an SUV for the flexibility they offer. The Trax is the newest SUV in the lineup, arriving in 2015. The first version of this subcompact SUV was offered until 2022, when it was briefly discontinued, and it reappeared in 2024 with a complete redesign that offered drivers more room and more value. The Trailblazer has also been redesigned, with its roots dating back to 1999 when it was a trim option for the Chevrolet S-10 Blazer before becoming a standalone SUV in 2002; that version was manufactured until 2009 and reentered the lineup in 2019. Both of these SUVs have a lot going for them, including a sporty vibe, a modern look inside and out, and a long list of safety and technology features that keep you and your passengers safe and engaged whether you’re headed down the block or taking a road trip. They are also both easy on the budget, with the top trim for the Trax starting at a little over $24k and the top-tiered Trailblazer coming in at just under $28k. Equinox and Blazer The Equinox and Blazer deliver something the other SUVs in the lineup don’t: the option to transition to an electric vehicle. Of course, you can also stick with the gas-powered version—but either way, you will get an SUV that has stood the test of time, with both having fared well in the lineup for several years. When comparing the two, note that the Equinox is a compact SUV while the Blazer is a midsize SUV. Still, don’t let that distinction be the decider when comparing the two, as both offer seating for five. The truth is that Chevy is a master at design, ensuring each of its vehicles delivers a powerful punch regardless of their size. Inside these two options, you’ll find plenty of legroom and headroom, ample cargo space, and a number of storage cubbies to ensure everything remains organized during the drive. You’ll also enjoy the comfort and convenience these two SUVs deliver. Like the Trax and Trailblazer, these two have a long list of features that ensure optimal engagement along the way, including a seamless connection for compatible phones and available Google Built-in functionality. You’ll also enjoy the optional OnStar, allowing you to access your SUV remotely and much more. Last but not least, when it comes to their exteriors, the Equinox and Blazer are hard to beat, with unique colors, aerodynamic styling, and optional two-toned roofs. Additionally, trim levels such as the RS take their design to the next level, giving you a sporty and sleek vibe that simply looks good and feels even better behind the wheel. Of note, the Trailblazer also has the RS trim if you would prefer a subcompact SUV. Traverse and Tahoe Rounding out the Chevy SUV lineup are the midsize Traverse and the full-size Tahoe. Like the Equinox and Blazer, both of these options have been a part of the Chevy lineup for a long time. The Traverse is a great option for growing families or individuals who want space for both passengers and cargo, as it offers room for up to eight people and best-in-class cargo volume. It was also ranked as #1 for New Vehicle Quality among Upper Midsize SUVs by JD Power for the 2024 model year. Additionally, if you enjoy off-roading, the Traverse offers a Z71 trim level that is ready to go when you are. Other perks you will find as you slide into the driver’s seat of the Traverse are the best-in-class standard 17.7-inch color touchscreen, the powerful 2.5L turbocharged engine option, premium seating, and high-quality materials throughout. Also, the RS trim level offers a sporty vibe and a long list of amenities, including an Enhanced Driving Package that adds Super Cruise hands-free driving. For Clinton Township drivers who need just a bit more room, the full-size Tahoe is a great option, offering up to 122.9 cu.ft. of cargo space, as well as room for you and seven passengers. Plus, you’ll love the power it offers, giving you three engine options to consider. The Tahoe is the ideal choice for drivers who want a sophisticated SUV that also allows them to enjoy every mile; this is thanks, in part, to the available Magnetic Ride Control and Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension. With these, your ride height and comfort can be adjusted to enhance efficiency, offer more clearance when needed, and make it easier to get in and out of the SUV. Other thoughtful design elements available for certain trims include power-retractable assist steps and a hands-free power liftgate. If you want a large SUV, but not quite as large as the Suburban, consider the Chevy Tahoe.

You’re on the hunt for a great family-focused SUV. Maybe you’re expecting your first little one, or you’re expanding your crew. Either way, if you plan on packing more than one row with kiddos, you need the right vehicle—and as a trusted used car dealership, we can point you toward a three-row SUV that aligns with your budget. more Today, we’re going over three of our favorite large SUVs: the Chevy Suburban, the GMC Yukon, and the Buick Enclave. We’ll be examining the most recent model years, as these iterations have elements that closely mirror what the current models offer. However, since they are pre-owned, they carry appealing price tags, perfect for families watching their spending. Chevy Suburban (2021-2023) The Chevy Suburban is a classic full-size SUV that has been part of the bowtie brand’s lineup for decades. With seating for up to nine passengers, it’s ready for a baseball team, a school field trip, or a cross-country excursion with the family. In 2021, Chevy reintroduced the Suburban with a longer wheelbase, providing more legroom for second- and third-row passengers. So if you’re dealing with teenagers sprouting up like bean stalks, they should have plenty of room in the Suburban. One of the Suburban’s most family-friendly features might be Teen Driver mode. This is a beloved Chevy feature that not only encourages safe driving behaviors among teens but also facilitates honest conversations between parents and teens. Teen Driver allows parents to set limits on certain vehicle functions, such as the car’s maximum speed and the sound system’s volume, so you can prevent kids from driving recklessly or blasting music so loudly that they get distracted. Teen Driver also generates a report card that shows you things like how many times your teen’s driving triggered the automatic emergency brakes and how often they exceeded the posted speed limit. With this report card, you can skip the truth-fudging and get down to discussing better behind-the-wheel behaviors. You’ll also find an available rear-seat entertainment system, which is great for keeping little ones occupied. It gets you two 12.6-inch screens mounted on the backs of the front seats. With Wi-Fi wireless projection capability, this system allows kids to stream content from their devices directly onto these two screens, so they can enjoy movies and shows on long drives, rather than asking when you’ll arrive. GMC Yukon (2021-2023) Are you interested in a large SUV from GMC? Check out the Yukon, a full-size SUV known for its ultra-smooth ride and spacious interior. Plus, with the extended-length Yukon XL, you can enjoy some serious rear legroom and cargo space. Many busy families appreciate this model’s highly configurable rear seats, which make it ideal for hauling large cargo loads. Its second-row seats can be folded down with the push of a button. They also tumble down, creating a flat cargo area that’s ideal for coolers, pet kennels, science projects, and other bulky items. This SUV also boasts an available rear-seat entertainment system, ensuring it’s ready to keep finicky youngsters occupied on the road. A standout feature of the Yukon, however, has to be its 8,400 lbs of towing strength. We love recommending the Yukon to adventurous families who want the ability to take vessels like boats and campers along for the journey. Any parent can appreciate a safe vehicle, and the Yukon has a generous suite of driver assistance features. With lane change alert and side blind zone alert, it lets you know when it is and isn’t safe to change lanes, monitoring hard-to-see spots for you. A rear cross-traffic alert tells you when someone is approaching your rear when you’re in reverse. So when you’re backing out of a driveway, and your child distracts you, your Yukon has you covered. Front pedestrian braking will likewise prevent collisions with people on foot; this can come in handy when you live in the suburbs, as kids may run out into the street. At the rear, a hands-free power-programmable liftgate makes loading the trunk easy. You can adjust the liftgate’s opening height, too, setting it high for tall users or low to avoid scratching a carport ceiling. Buick Enclave (2021-2023) If you are looking for accessible luxury, a used Buick is always a smart choice. The Enclave delivers the upscale feel for which the brand is known, as well as family-friendly perks. While not as large as the Yukon and Suburban, it’s perfect for those who need seating for seven, and its highly configurable seats can keep up with your days. The Smart Slide second-row bench slides forward, allowing third-row passengers easy access to their seats. Then, the power-folding third row lets you create extra cargo space in an instant. With the second and third rows down, you can have over 97 cu.ft. of cargo space, which is pretty impressive for a three-row SUV. Busy parents will love that this model is compatible with Amazon Alexa. That means you can utilize all your favorite Alexa features from the road, such as controlling smart home devices—so you can preheat your smart oven before you get home, making meal prep a bit easier. You can also turn on the porch lights, so you don’t return to a dark property. You can ask Alexa to add items to your shopping list, too, so when your kids complain that you’re out of their favorite juice boxes, you know what to do. You can likewise ask Alexa your burning questions and get useful information, such as weather and traffic reports. This model also has a hands-free programmable power liftgate. Just kick your foot beneath the bumper with your key fob on your body, and the trunk will open automatically. There’s even more to this SUV’s cargo perks than meets the eye, as it offers ten inches of under-floor storage area, so you can easily stash valuables out of sight, or simply squeeze in a few more items when the trunk is full.

It’s no secret that truck prices have been going up in recent years, but we’re happy to let you know that there are still tons of affordable truck options available here at your local GMC and Chevy dealer. Even better, these more budget-friendly models are not the stripped-down work trucks of years past. Chevy and GMC have pulled out all the stops for the 2026 model year, and even their entry-level trucks now sport comfortable interiors, advanced tech features, and, of course, powerful engines that deliver the performance you require. more #1 – 2026 Chevy Colorado LT The midsize Chevy Colorado is the perfect entry point for anyone searching for an affordable new truck for sale. This pickup has come a long way since it was first introduced back in 2004, and now offers features and capabilities that rival full-size trucks from a few decades ago. With a standard Crew Cab and a best-in-class 7,700 lbs of towing capacity, the 2026 Colorado is ready to improve just about every aspect of your life on the road. Chevy has even given the Colorado the same standard engine as the full-size Silverado 1500—the 2.7L TurboMax—ensuring that you have plenty of power on tap wherever you go. For 2026, the base trim of the Colorado is the fleet-oriented WT, but the highest value option is easily the LT trim. Priced just above the WT, the LT gives you a stylish and feature-forward truck. Unlike the base trim’s black plastic details, the LT has color-matched bumpers, mirrors, and door handles, along with 17-inch alloy wheels for some sharp street presence. An EZ-Lift and Lower tailgate is another helpful upgrade that adds a small spring to the tailgate, making it easier to open and close. Inside the Colorado LT, you’ll be impressed by the standard 11-inch fully digital instrument cluster and matching 11.3-inch center touchscreen. These large displays make it easy to see important information at a glance while you’re driving. Plus, Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, so connecting your phone for calls, music, navigation, and more is a breeze. Aside from the tech, the LT upgrades you to a standard eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with power lumbar support, making it easy to get comfortable on the road. This truck may be affordable, but it has everything you could want. #2 – 2026 GMC Canyon Elevation The GMC Canyon is known as the more upscale twin of the Chevy Colorado, sharing the same basic platform and many of the same features and capabilities. However, despite sharing the same underpinnings, it brings a more sophisticated and adventurous air to the midsize truck segment, even in its base Elevation trim. Unlike the Colorado, the Canyon doesn’t have a work-oriented trim, so the Elevation is both the most affordable version and extremely well-equipped. Perhaps most surprisingly, it actually costs slightly less than the Colorado LT, making it an amazing deal for anyone searching for an affordable new truck. From its powertrain to its towing capacity, the Canyon is effectively identical to the Colorado. However, GMC’s model makes some radical departures when it comes to styling and off-road capability. The Canyon adopts a more imposing front end, with a larger grille and stacked lighting to announce its presence. It also leans into its rugged persona, with the Elevation sporting a two-inch factory lift, wider fender flares, and larger 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires. Those features make the Canyon Elevation ready to head straight from our showroom floor to a backcountry trail. #3 – 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT While midsize trucks are more affordable, many of our customers are looking for the unmatched power and capability of a full-size pickup like the Chevy Silverado 1500. Like the Colorado, the 2026 Silverado 1500 trim lineup starts with the WT trim, but if you aren’t looking for a bare-bones work truck, we’d advise jumping up to the LT trim to enjoy some remarkable standard features without massively increasing the price. Even better, the Silverado 1500 LT isn’t that much more expensive than the Colorado LT, making it an extremely attractive option for anyone searching for an affordable truck. Unlike the midsize models, the Silverado 1500 LT offers multiple configurations and powertrains to choose from. The Crew Cab Short Box configuration is by far the most popular, but if you need more cargo space, you can opt for a Crew Cab Standard Bed, which gives you another foot of bed length. If you want that extra bed space in a smaller overall footprint, then the Double Cab Standard Bed is the configuration for you, combining the 6.6-foot bed with a slightly smaller cab. This model comes standard with the same 2.7L TurboMax engine as the Colorado and Canyon, giving you 310 hp. However, you can also opt for a 5.3L V8 with 355 hp or a 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel. The Duramax is the most capable engine in the Silverado 1500 lineup, giving you an incredible 495 lb-ft of torque and a maximum towing capacity of 13,300 lbs. It is also remarkably efficient, making it the ideal choice if you want to tow heavy trailers long distances without having to stop constantly to refuel. The reason to choose the Silverado 1500 LT over the lower trims is its wealth of features. It is the first trim to come with the upgraded interior, which includes a massive 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 13.4-inch touchscreen infotainment center. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus Google built-in, make accessing all of your favorite apps simple. You also get your choice of either a front bench seat to accommodate a total of six passengers or front bucket seats. A 10-way power driver seat is standard, as are heated front seats, making the Silverado 1500 LT an incredibly comfortable place to be. #4 – 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 Elevation The final model we suggest is the Sierra 1500 Elevation, which comes in at just over the $50k mark. As with the Canyon, this truck takes the same basic formula as its Chevy twin but goes in its own unique direction, providing a more upscale vibe. Unlike the Canyon Elevation, the Sierra 1500 Elevation doesn’t lean into off-road adventures, instead offering more of a sport truck appeal. With body color bumpers, gloss black 20-inch wheels, and a blacked-out grille instead of the bright chrome normally associated with GMC trucks, this trim stands out on the streets with a clean, modern appearance. When shopping for a 2026 Sierra 1500 Elevation, you will enjoy all the configurations and engine options available for the Silverado 1500 LT. This lets you easily tailor the truck to meet your personal needs. The base features include everything you could need in your truck, including the large digital displays that make accessing vehicle information, apps, and navigation simple. With a heated steering wheel and heated, power-adjustable front seats, you will be perfectly comfortable even in the most affordable version of this trim. However, if you have a bit more to spend, you can upgrade to a rich leather interior and enjoy features like a power sunroof and wireless charging, adding a bit more of that GMC premium experience to your truck.

A Slate of Driver Assistance Features Thanks to the many safety features in this model, you’ll feel confident whether you’re stuck in traffic on the highway or navigating the downtown streets of Detroit. Even if you only get the standard features, your days around Washington Township will already be much safer. The standard features include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection.

It also has a standard side bicyclist alert to notify you if a cyclist is approaching on your side. You never know when a pedestrian might step into the street, whether you’re in the city or the suburbs, but you’ll be more prepared when they do, with these great features. As for times you’re on the Van Dyke Freeway after a long day, you’ll get help staying in your lane, thanks to standard lane keep assist with lane departure warning. It alerts you when you’re drifting and provides gentle steering inputs to keep you centered. A following distance indicator will also let you know when you’re getting too close to the vehicle in front of you, and a forward collision alert will alert you to potential front-facing crashes. When it’s time to park, rear park assist alerts you to nearby objects behind your vehicle. Lastly, a rear vision camera can show you what’s behind your Equinox when you’re in reverse. These are just the standard features, but there are even more advanced driver assistance features available. We’d love to show you these in person! Streamline Your Days With Google Built-In Do you have a big to-do list to get to? It can be hard to stay on top of tasks when you’re always on the road. Luckily, the 2026 Equinox has the availability of Google Built-In, which means you can have popular Google products like Google Assistant, Google Maps, and Google Play integrated into your infotainment system. Imagine all the ways having Google Assistant in your vehicle could streamline your days around Washington Township. Did you need to set a reminder to pay a bill when you get home? Google Assistant can do that for you. Do you want to check the weather for this weekend? It can do that, too. Would you like to activate your home’s thermostat before you arrive? If it’s a smart device, Google Assistant can help. When you’re in the car a lot, you probably also need podcasts and audiobooks to keep you company. Google Play is a part of this ensemble, allowing you to stream your favorite audio media on the go. You can have your preferred podcasts and playlists ready to go! Do you need to look up directions to a client’s house or check for a coffee shop near your destination? Google Maps is great for that.

If you clock a lot of time behind the wheel, you don’t have to feel helpless when you remember something you need to do or when you need information and can’t grab your phone. Having Google’s products in your vehicle can be like having a personal assistant. A Convenient Console and Hidden Storage When you’re a commuter, your vehicle almost becomes your second home—and just like in your real home, you need a place for your stuff. That’s why the center console is such a great perk of the 2026 Equinox. This flexible console has a place for your beverages, so those caffeinated drinks that get you through the day are never far away. It also has a slot for electronics and room for other items like tissues and sunglasses. Plus, it provides a comfy place to put your elbows. If you commute into Detroit and are concerned about leaving valuables exposed, you’ll appreciate the hidden under-floor storage. This is a concealed compartment in the trunk where you can stash your belongings, away from prying eyes. Comfort Features for an Improved Ride If you have to be in the car a lot, you may as well get comfortable—and in the 2026 Equinox, that’s easy to do. It has available ventilated front seats to cool you down on hot summer days. Meanwhile, the heated steering wheel can keep your hands comfortable on those brutally cold winter days. An available eight-way power driver’s seat allows you to find the ideal position for long drives. Standard active noise cancellation blocks out unwanted noises from traffic and the road, so you can transform the inside of your Equinox into a space of serenity after a long day. The Equinox’s All-Electric Sibling We saved the best thing for last: the Equinox EV. That’s right—you don’t need to worry about gas costs if you don’t want to. The Equinox’s all-electric sibling lets you plug into a charging unit and leave the fuel pumps in the past.

Whether you are looking for a simple work truck to help you get the job done each day, a monster that can dominate any trail, or a sophisticated pickup that you will enjoy driving for many years, the Chevy Silverado 1500 is the perfect choice. As a Chevy dealership, we love presenting the Chevy Silverado 1500 for sale, and it should come as no surprise that we think this is one of the best trucks on the road. more This isn’t just an empty opinion, however, because we can back it up with a variety of reasons that this is such an incredible truck—reasons that could make it the right pickup for you. Even compared to other impressive options out there, like the 2025 Ford F-150, the 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 finds numerous ways to come out on top and deliver everything you are looking for in a truck. #1. Incredible Engines If you’re interested in the Chevy Silverado 1500, then you’re likely looking for a full-size truck with plenty of power to help you tackle everything you need to do. For something smaller, the Chevy Colorado is a great choice; the Silverado 1500 is all about big performance and getting a truck with plenty of muscle. To support this, Chevy gives you four different engines to choose from, which makes it easy to get the kind of power you need from your truck. The standard TurboMax engine is one of the best starting options in the industry, with 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. By comparison, the starting engine on the Ford F-150 only offers 400 lb-ft of torque, falling short of what the Silverado 1500 delivers. From there, you have a number of other engines available from Chevy, including the legendary 6.2L V8 that’s been a favorite of a huge number of drivers for many years now. This beast delivers 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque, ensuring you have all the muscle you need to tackle anything. Most importantly for some drivers, Chevy offers an available 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel engine that provides a massive 495 lb-ft of torque. Not only is this remarkably powerful, but it’s one of the last diesel engines you can find on a light-duty truck; Ford no longer offers a diesel for the F-150. (Similarly, you won’t find one on the 2025 Ram 1500.) So, if you want a diesel, then Chevy is the clear choice for you. #2. Serious Capabilities As vital as raw power from a great engine is, what’s potentially more important is how well that power translates into getting work done. Chevy understands this better than most, which is why you can get such impressive towing and payload capabilities with the Silverado 1500. Looking at its standard engine, the TurboMax can handle 9,500 lbs of maximum towing and 2,260 lbs of payload. By comparison, the Ford F-150, with its starting engine, tops out at 8,400 lbs of towing and 1,785 lbs of payload. That’s a significant difference, and it shows how well Chevy understands the needs of truck owners. What’s more, the Silverado 1500 continues to deliver bold power and robust capabilities with every engine option, so no matter what you prefer from your truck, you’re covered. The 6.2L V8 gas engine gives you 13,200 lbs of maximum towing, while the remarkable diesel engine goes up to 13,300 lbs of towing capacity. Although the F-150 can go beyond 13,000 lbs of towing with one of its engines, the lack of a diesel option is once again a problem; Ford’s answer is a hybrid engine that provides impressive horsepower and torque but tops out at just 11,200 lbs of towing—far behind the Silverado 1500 and its diesel. #3. Excellent Trim Levels It would take us way too long to go over the details of every trim level for the 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500, but we wanted to mention them still because they give you a fantastic range of options to choose from. You have nine different trim levels available, which can seem like a lot, but you can pretty easily group them into three sets of three, providing you with enough options to get precisely what you need. The WT, Custom, and LT give you three terrific options to start with, while the RST, LTZ, and High Country let you choose from high-end features and details to elevate your drive. If you want a truck for going off-road, then the two Trail Boss trims and the ZR2 give you three ways to find the perfect pickup with everything you want. Other brands like Ford offer a lot of trim levels, too, but we prefer how Chevy has them set up. #4. Awesome Interior Features In case nine different trim levels still seem like a lot, one of the best ways to appreciate how well they’re set up for the Silverado 1500 is to look inside this truck. If you want a simple, straightforward interior, then the starting WT trim is perfect, especially for fleets and commercial use. The WT has vinyl seating, a 3.5-inch monochromatic Driver Information Center screen, and a 7-inch infotainment display. But even with this starting trim, you get Remote Keyless Entry and a six-speaker sound system to enhance your drive. On the other end of the trim lineup is the High Country, which has one of the most sophisticated and beautifully designed interiors you’ll find. Perforated leather seating looks and feels amazing, with heated and ventilated front seats that are ten-way power-adjustable. You’ll find a 12.3-inch Driver Information Center display, a massive 13.4-inch infotainment screen with Google Built-In, and a seven-speaker Bose Premium sound system. With adaptive cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a wireless charging pad all included, the High Country is the perfect choice if you spend a lot of time on the road and want to make the most of it. #5. Big Off-Road Capabilities If you want a truck that’s just as good for going off-road as it is for driving around town, then Chevy has you covered with three different off-road trim levels. Two of them are off-road versions of other trims, so you can look at the general features of the Custom and LT trims and then pick its Trail Boss version to get an off-road-tuned suspension and much more. If you want the ultimate off-road experience with your truck, then the Silverado 1500 ZR2 is the perfect choice. It has a high-performance lifted suspension with Multimatic DSSV dampers, protective skid plates, Goodyear Wrangler Territory tires, and much more. Ford also has some impressive off-road options available for the F-150, like the Raptor variant, but that starts at a far higher price than the ZR2. Plenty More Reasons As you can see, the Chevy Silverado 1500 has so much to offer that it’s the perfect truck for a wide range of drivers. Ultimately, this is one of our favorite things about it since it makes it easier for us to help our customers find the right version of the Silverado 1500 with everything they’ve been looking for. We didn’t even get into the fact that it has larger beds with much more cargo volume than the Ford F-150 or how you can take things even further with special editions like the ZR2 Bison that’s been designed in partnership with American Expedition Vehicles to create an incredible off-road machine. No matter what you’re looking for from your truck, you can find it in a Chevy Silverado 1500!

Trucks like the 2025 Chevy Silverado 1500 for sale prove we no longer have to compromise or choose between a truck that’s affordable and efficient or luxurious and highly capable. Instead, Chevrolet offers the best of both worlds by ensuring the full-size Silverado 1500 can handle whatever life and the road put in its path. The 2025 Silverado 1500 strikes the perfect balance as an everyday road warrior and adventurer that’s easily customizable to your needs. more Trims, Cabs, and Beds The Silverado 1500 is one of the most readily customizable trucks in the segment, with the 2025 model continuing that tradition. Available with a Regular Cab, Double Cab, or Crew Cab, the 2025 Silverado 1500 offers broad appeal and can comfortably accommodate your needs. Chevrolet adds to that appeal with the Silverado 1500’s various bed options, starting with the 5’8″ Durabed that offers 62.9 cu.ft. of space. From there, the 6’6″ bed boasts a total cargo volume of 71.7 cu.ft. only to be outshined by the class-leading 8’2″ bed with 89.1 cu.ft. The Silverado 1500’s cab sizes and bed lengths complement the truck’s diverse trim lineup, each with distinct styling and personas. The family tree starts with the Silverado 1500 WT at $37,000, which you can use as a blank canvas and customize to your needs with various options. The Custom and LT add more features, including an expansive digital landscape, LED lighting, and driver-assist technologies. The Silverado 1500 RST caters to those with a penchant for performance, while the LTZ and High Country are the most opulent in the family. Chevrolet also entices adventurers with three trims: the Custom Trail Boss, LT Trail Boss, and ZR2. These trims are trail-ready and have suspension lifts and off-road components, with the ZR2 earning its place at the top of the lineup for its rugged build and outstanding capability on and off the pavement. Capabilities and Efficiency The 2025 Silverado 1500 earns its place in the spotlight as a well-rounded workhorse with an impressive powertrain lineup that includes the only diesel engine in the class. The Silverado 1500’s standard engine is a 2.7L turbocharged inline-four that works with an eight-speed automatic transmission to produce 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque. The output makes the Silverado 1500 responsive and efficient, with an EPA-estimated average of 19 MPG combined (RWD). It also yields the truck’s highest payload capacity of 2,260 lbs and a modest 9,500-lb towing capacity. Chevrolet gives drivers a choice of V8 performance with the Silverado 1500’s 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 or 6.2L EcoTec3 V8, both mated to a ten-speed automatic transmission. The smaller V8 produces 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque, pushing the truck’s towing capacity to 11,300 lbs and its payload to 2,180 lbs. The larger 6.2L V8 sees a significant jump to 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque, giving the Silverado 1500 the strength to tow up to 13,200 lbs and support a 1,980-lb payload. The Silverado 1500’s gas powertrains are impressive, but the Duramax easily steals the show since it’s the only option for diesel lovers in the full-size truck segment. The 3.0L turbo-diesel produces 305 hp and 495 lb-ft of torque, making the Silverado 1500 more engaging and capable with its 13,300-lb towing capacity. Moreover, the Duramax modestly sips fuel, making the diesel-powered Silverado 1500 incredibly efficient with an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 26 MPG combined (RWD). Trailering Technologies The 2025 Silverado 1500 is one of the most versatile trucks on the road, thanks to a diverse trim family and a multi-engine lineup that offers a broad range of capabilities. Chevrolet encourages drivers to take advantage of the truck’s work ethic by equipping it with cutting-edge trailering technologies that foster confidence and control. These start in the front seat, where the Silverado 1500’s center touchscreen offers up to fourteen camera views and an in-vehicle trailering app. The Silverado 1500 can be equipped with up to eight cameras that provide comprehensive views around the truck and trailer. From seeing traffic behind the trailer to along its sides as you change lanes, the camera system heightens your situational awareness. At the same time, technologies like Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert provide audible cues to mitigate the potential for collisions. Chevrolet’s in-vehicle trailering app also plays a pivotal role in your experience behind the wheel. The trailering app lets you create custom trailer profiles, which makes the towing process easier by providing vital insights into the trailer’s performance and diagnostics. For example, you can select the profile, navigate a pre-departure checklist, and monitor the pressure and temperature of the trailer’s tires as you travel. Functional Design Elements Chevrolet revolutionized the truck segment when it debuted the Multi-Flex tailgate as a modern alternative to the traditional, stationary tailgate. The 2025 Silverado 1500 combines the Multi-Flex tailgate with a class-leading Durabed for a combination that’s impossible to resist. How so? The Multi-Flex tailgate offers six functions that improve how you use the Silverado 1500’s bed. The primary and inner gates provide easier access, with load stops keeping longer or taller items in place. Folding the inner gate lets you reach further into the bed, or you can use the inner gate as a full-width step. When you aren’t reaching for cargo, you can reposition the primary gate and use the inner gate as a flat work surface. The tailgate’s flexible design complements the Silverado 1500’s Durabed, the most functional bed in the class. With up to 89.1 cu.ft. of cargo space, the Durabed has a dozen standard tie-downs that make securing cargo easier, whether it’s large household appliances, furniture, lumber, or other equipment. Of course, accessing these items is straightforward with the Multi-Flex and the Silverado 1500’s signature rear bumper steps integrated into the bumper itself. Connectivity and Safety Tech The 2025 Silverado 1500 is one of the most tech-savvy trucks in the segment, offering drivers a transformative experience with its extensive suite of connectivity, safety, and driver-assist technologies. These technologies start with the digital displays that frame the cockpit. The available head-up display projects vital performance insights onto the windshield and complements the 12.3-inch Driver Information Center. To your right, the Silverado 1500 has an available 13.4-inch touchscreen that serves as a connectivity hub. The Silverado 1500’s infotainment touchscreen provides seamless smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Google Built-In adds a virtual assistant, Google Maps, and the Google Play Store, giving you access to more in-vehicle apps that can enhance your experience wherever the road leads. You can also use the display to access the Silverado 1500’s Wi-Fi hotspot, which transforms the truck into a mobile office that keeps you connected mile after mile. Beyond staying connected, the 2025 Silverado 1500’s tech prioritizes your safety in the driver’s seat. The truck features the Chevy Safety Assist suite of six advanced driver-assist technologies, including Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Front Pedestrian Braking. You’ll also enjoy standard features like Teen Driver and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning. Depending on the trim and package, advanced tools include Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Front and Rear Park Assist, an HD Surround Vision Camera, and Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking. Super Cruise is undeniably the most appealing feature on the 2025 Silverado 1500, especially since it’s the only hands-free driving tool that works when towing a trailer. It improves your cruising experience and lets you take your hands off the wheel when traveling on compatible highways throughout North America. When trailering, it senses the additional drag of the trailer and makes the necessary adjustments, mitigating driver fatigue by handling the acceleration and braking as long as you focus on the road ahead. Leading the Pack The 2025 Silverado 1500 is well deserving of the spotlight because it showcases Chevy’s commitment to building a well-rounded and versatile truck that offers tangible value. The American automaker encourages drivers to treat the Silverado 1500 like a blank canvas, reaping the benefits of its multiple engines, cab sizes, and bed lengths to design the perfect road warrior to partner with you every mile ahead. It’s a chameleon engineered to work with you and for you, whether navigating your weekday commute or blazing a new trail in the woods.

The Chevy Blazer EV is something special thanks to its gorgeous design, incredible features, and cutting-edge engineering that takes your daily drive to the next level. Whether you’re already interested in a Chevy Blazer EV for sale or you’re just curious about what the 2025 model has to offer, we’re happy to tell you about everything it can do. more Honestly, however, getting into every little detail—though it sounds fun—would probably be a bit much. So, instead, we’re going to focus on five of our favorite things about this incredible electrified SUV that often draws people to it. Then, you can decide which of these remarkable features sounds the most fun to you. #1. Incredible Electric Performance One of the most attractive things about all-electric vehicles like the Chevy Blazer EV is just how fun they are to drive. The feeling of instant torque is one of those things that you have to experience for yourself to fully appreciate, and once you do, it’s not easy to go back to vehicles with traditional engines. That being said, even by typical EV standards, the Blazer EV is something remarkable with performance that puts most other SUVs to shame. You have two different motor options (either one or two motors) and two batteries to choose from, creating numerous combinations you can enjoy. If you go with the standard battery and a single motor, then you get 220 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque, which is already impressive power for a midsize SUV like this. Choosing a single-motor setup with the enhanced 102-kWh battery gets you 365 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque in rear-wheel drive with the impressive RS trim, creating something quite distinct. The undeniable star of the show, however, is the SS trim that features a pair of motors with the enhanced battery, providing an unbelievable 595 hp and 645 lb-ft of torque. Using the Wide Open Watts mode, the Blazer EV SS can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds, creating a driving experience beyond anything else we’ve seen. #2. Terrific Range in All Configurations As much as we love pure power and speed, we know that the Blazer EV is a commuter vehicle for most of its drivers; that’s why it’s been designed with such impressive range for you to enjoy, ensuring you can get where you need to go and take care of business each day without worrying about how much charge you have left. If you choose a single-motor model with the standard 85-kWh battery, then you get an estimated 312 miles of range from a full charge. That same battery with a dual-motor configuration gets an estimated 283 miles of range from a full charge. As you might expect, the enhanced 102-kWh battery is the way to go if you’re looking for the best range available. When paired with a single motor on the rear axle of an RS trim, you get an estimated 334 miles of range from a full charge. That’s exceptional range from a midsize SUV like this, ensuring you can get around town each day, run errands after work, and enjoy yourself on the weekend without any worries. So even if you’re planning a big road trip, you can go a long time between stops to charge—not to mention that… #3. Charging Is Easy and Convenient The range of an EV is important, of course, but it’s just as important that you can easily charge your vehicle since that part of things is inevitable. The 2025 Chevy Blazer EV is easy to own and enjoy because charging it is simple, with numerous options to make your life as effortless as possible. As you would expect, you can charge the Blazer EV at home; we recommend getting a Level 2 charger installed for the optimal experience. Not only does this make charging at home quick and simple, but with a GM Energy PowerShift Charger, you can use your Blazer EV to provide emergency power to your home in the event of a blackout. On the road, it’s simple to take advantage of public charging stations with your Blazer EV, utilizing Level 3 DC Fast Charging, depending on what you have access to. The Blazer EV is compatible with a massive network of more than 200,000 public chargers across North America, so no matter where you go, you can find something to use. Plus, the Blazer EV now works with more than 17,000 Tesla Superchargers, giving you even more options when you need power for your SUV. The myChevrolet mobile app makes it easy to find charging stations near you, even letting you plan a route, and it will show you public chargers along the way. #4. Incredible Interior Tech and Comfort Since most of your time with your vehicle will be spent in the cabin, it’s key that your SUV has plenty of great features to enhance your time behind the wheel. Chevy comes through beautifully in this regard, as every 2025 Blazer EV has a massive 17.7-inch infotainment display with Google Built-In. The starting LT trim also includes an 11-inch Driver Information Center that you can personalize to meet your needs, a six-speaker sound system, and cloth seating with six-way driver and front-passenger seats. Keyless Open, Remote Start (including via the myChevrolet app), and Adaptive Cruise Control are all standard. Looking at the RS trim, you get a number of upgrades to elevate your time on the road even further. For starters, the RS includes perforated suede and EvoTex seating with heated and ventilated front seats, including an eight-way power driver’s seat with two-way power lumbar. You get a heated, flat-bottom steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a wireless charging pad for compatible devices. An available dual-pane power sunroof adds a gorgeous view of the sky overhead, while an available head-up display projects information onto the windshield so you can easily keep an eye on the speed limit and other important things. #5. Remarkable Safety Technology At the end of the day, if your vehicle can’t help keep you safe, then nothing else matters. Chevy understands this well, which is why every Blazer EV comes with a comprehensive safety suite, including a Forward Collision Alert with Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking and Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking. You also get Rear Cross Traffic Braking, Reverse Automatic Braking, Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking, and Blind Zone Steering Assist, all standard. Lane Keep Assist with a Lane Departure Warning, a Following Distance Indicator, and even a Safety Alert Seat that uses vibration pulses to indicate the direction of a potential crash are all standard in every model. You even get an HD Surround Vision tool to provide you with improved visibility around your vehicle while maneuvering at low speeds, making it easier to get in and out of tight parking spots. All of this helps ensure you get home safe and sound at the end of each day. Are You Ready to Experience the Blazer EV for Yourself? It’s worth pointing out, again, that this is only a small sample of the many features that make the Chevy Blazer EV such an incredible piece of machinery. We didn’t even mention the available Super Cruise hands-free driving system, which is the most impressive and innovative form of semi-autonomous driving currently available in the auto industry. Simply put, no matter what you’re looking for in an all-electric two-row SUV, the Chevy Blazer EV is ready to deliver. It’s made by people who love to drive, for people who demand the most from their vehicles and want something you’ll look forward to getting into each day. Visit us at LaFontaine Chevrolet St. Clair to take a Blazer EV for a test drive and experience everything it offers for yourself.

Bursting onto the scene in 2024, the first Chevy Blazer EV for sale took one of the bowtie brand’s most popular midsize SUVs and gave it an electric makeover that made it an immediate contender in the fast-growing segment. Honda now looks to follow suit with its own midsize Prologue EV, which will represent the brand’s first all-electric SUV. more If the two models seem remarkably similar, there’s a good reason: the Prologue was developed in collaboration with General Motors and is based on the same Ultium architecture and BEV3 platform as Chevy’s own midsize EV. In fact, the two share a surprising number of features, including an infotainment system, climate control system, and some other important design elements, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few key disparities between these two all-electric SUVs. These EVs vary in exterior design and styling and offer a decidedly different driving experience based on each brand’s on-road ethos. To help you decide between the Honda Prologue and Chevy Blazer EV, we’ve compiled a brief breakdown that outlines some of the key differences between these two crossover EVs. We’ll outline each model’s performance stats and range and see how they compare when you really put the pedal to the metal. Chevy Puts a Premium on Performance The Blazer EV and Prologue might share the same general design, but the two models are easy to differentiate when you start diving into some of the performance-related details. While pretty stark, these differences shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Honda has long been known for producing stolid, reliable vehicles that deliver consistent—if not enthralling—performance. This formula has made the brand a favorite among drivers who are just looking to get from point A to point B, but Chevy has embraced a different approach altogether. With a legacy that includes producing prolific sports and muscle cars like the Corvette and Camaro, drivers won’t be surprised to learn that Chevy has brought the same performance-minded attitude to the EV segment. The Blazer EV’s expansive engine lineup speaks to Chevy’s sporty spirit. Those looking for a value-packed option can choose between the LT FWD and LT eAWD. The base trim in FWD offers a respectable 220 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque thanks to its single-motor setup, but the eAWD version shines with a dual-motor design that sees the SUV produce 300 hp and 355 lb-ft of torque. The Blazer’s RS trim is also offered with FWD and eAWD powertrains that match the stats of the LT, but the addition of a rear-wheel drive option brings a little extra power into the mix. The RS in RWD elevates the driving experience with 365 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque on tap, but even that’s no match for the new high-performance SS trim. Rated for 557 hp and 648 lb-ft of torque (or up to 615 hp when driven in Chevy’s Wide Open Watts Mode), the SS’s dual-motor design gives the EV a top speed of 130 mph. While sharing a number of features and design elements, the Prologue simply fails to keep pace in terms of performance. Honda offers its new EV in three trims, just like the Blazer, but the lack of powertrain personalization puts the Prologue at a disadvantage. No matter which trim you choose, from the entry-level EX to the Touring and Elite, Honda has limited the EV to just two options. All FWD models deliver 212 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque, while AWD ones make 288 hp and 333 lb-ft of torque. That’s not too far from the norm in the midsize category, but it pales in comparison to the sort of high-speed thrills that the Blazer EV can offer. Sure, not every brand is going to take on an ambitious automotive experiment like the Blazer EV SS, but when a vehicle built on an identical platform and EV architecture can’t even provide half as much power, excuses are hard to come by. Speeding Into the Future Figures like horsepower and torque can be a little hard to wrap your mind around, and they often don’t provide any context for the experience you’ll have when you’re actually seated behind the wheel. Luckily, there is one key test that can go a long way toward illustrating the difference between the two models. The ability to accelerate from zero to 60 mph is a useful metric for both performance-obsessed drivers and those just looking to hold their own in highway traffic. So, how do the Chevy Blazer EV and Honda Prologue compare when it comes to their sprint times? The Prologue is certainly no slouch, with the dual-motor setup allowing the range-topping Elite trim to get up to 60 mph in between 5.8 and 6.2 seconds. That’s a respectable figure for the midsize SUV segment, but Chevy makes the Prologue look like a relative slowpoke with a blistering zero-to-60-mph time that would put some sports cars to shame. In fact, the Blazer can reach cruising speed in just 3.4 seconds, which is faster than some versions of the BMW M3, Dodge Challenger, and Ford Mustang. That sub-four-second figure might seem like a typo, but it’s refreshingly real thanks to the inherent advantages of the EV approach, along with some clever next-gen engineering on the part of Chevy. Unlike their gas-powered predecessors, which often take a considerable amount of time to reach peak performance, an EV can churn out all the torque a driver could ask for the moment you stomp on the pedal. This near-instant torque allows the Blazer EV to immediately put itself into action—but those seeking a real edge-of-your-seat experience need look no further than the range-topping SS trim. The SS’s dual-motor powertrain and eAWD setup certainly aid in acceleration, but it’s the introduction of the Wide Open Watts Mode that really ups the ante. Designed to maximize straight-line acceleration, W.O.W. Mode overrides the SUV’s propulsion settings and tweaks the pedal maps, cooling, AWD, and motor to give the EV 615 hp and provide a breathtaking experience that makes the model one of the most thrilling SUVs to ever hit the market. In fact, the Blazer EV SS is the fastest SS trim ever produced by Chevy, which is especially impressive from a brand that gave the world the legendary Camaro SS. Ranging Further Than Ever Performance and acceleration are two important factors to consider when comparing vehicles like the Blazer EV and Prologue, but their all-electric design introduces another important metric into the equation. Limited driving range is commonly cited as one of the key hurdles to widespread EV adoption, but the Blazer EV makes a convincing argument for the economical segment with up to 334 miles of range. In order to achieve that figure, you’ll have to go with the RS’s ultra-efficient rear-wheel drive setup, but every Blazer EV manages to clock in close to the important 300-mile mark. The eAWD versions of the LT and RS offer an EPA-estimated 283 miles of range, while the SS sacrifices a little distance in the name of performance with around 250 miles on the table. This might put the SS at a disadvantage when compared to the rest of the lineup, but it’s a small price to pay for the ability to reach 60 mph in under four seconds. With its lower output and paltry performance stats, one might expect the Prologue to easily outshine the Blazer EV when it comes to range, but that’s simply not the case. The single-motor FWD models can achieve around 296 miles of range, which, while impressive, is surprisingly close to Chevy’s SUV. The AWD EX and Touring trims have their range reduced to 281 miles, while the AWD Elite delivers just 273 miles. That number might be even lower in real-world conditions, with at least one tester logging just 240 miles behind the wheel of the AWD Elite. That’s a far cry from the current industry average of 283 miles, and it’s a little hard to excuse when compared to the much faster Blazer SS. The Blazer EV and Prologue share the same platform—an 85.0-kWh battery and 150-kW DC Fast Charging ability—which makes the Honda’s relative lack of range something of a red flag. If the Prologue even came close to matching the Blazer EV’s horsepower, one might be able to excuse range-related issues, but that’s simply not the case. Which Is Better, the Blazer EV or the Prologue? Ultimately, choosing between the Blazer EV and Prologue comes down to personal preference, but if you’re the type of driver who values customization and performance, the Blazer EV represents the obvious choice. While the two SUVs might share a considerable amount of DNA, they really couldn’t be much different from a performance perspective. Chevy has clearly prioritized power when designing the midsize model. The RS and SS trims offer the sort of performance that Chevy has long been known for while embracing a new, all-electric design that provides some distinct advantages in terms of efficiency. The Prologue fails to distinguish itself in any meaningful way. It might offer slightly better range depending on the trim, but with a higher starting price and relatively paltry performance, it’s hard to make a case for Honda’s new EV. Chevy has made some important improvements for the new model year, adding a stylish new appearance package, Enhanced Automatic Parking Assist, and the scintillating new SS trim to the lineup.

Chevy Colorado: A Midsize Jack-of-All-Trades Many drivers prefer midsize models, especially if they want a vehicle that’s a little easier to handle yet still extremely functional. Midsize trucks are able to tow, haul, tour, and commute among the best in the industry, and there’s perhaps no better model for Clinton Township than the Colorado. It’s able to hold its own on the job site, the trails, the highway, and anywhere else your journey takes you while also offering you the customization options that the bowtie brand is known for.

Comfort reigns supreme as well, especially when you opt for trims like the adventure-ready ZR2, which boasts leather upholstery, ventilated seats, a heated steering wheel, and more engaging elements to boost its appeal even further. Powertrain Selection The Colorado sticks with a simple approach to the journey, offering the 2.7L TurboMax turbocharged four-cylinder in every model, making it easy to enjoy an energetic yet powerful ride no matter where the road takes you. This powerful setup makes 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque, allowing the Colorado to get a maximum towing rating of 7,700 lbs—a best-in-class accomplishment. This is why it appeals to so many hard workers seeking a truck that can handle more than the average midsize.

One of the most popular functions for pickup trucks is towing some pretty impressive loads. In fact, some drivers specifically look at a Chevy Silverado for sale based exclusively on the equipment offered for pulling. After all, if towing is something you’re going to do regularly, you want to be able to do it well. more As with all pickup trucks, the amount you can tow with your Chevy Silverado depends on the chosen model, trim, engine, and body configuration. However, you can be certain of your ability to tow your loads safely and easily when you select the Silverado, thanks to the impressive number of towing innovations available on this long-time favorite. Let’s take a look at the 2024 Silverado lineup to check out some of the ways Chevy has used technology, engineering, and innovation to help drivers tow bigger loads more places with less hassle. Trailering in the Chevy Silverado 1500 The 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 has a maximum trailering capacity of 13,300 lbs. This is no small amount. Whether you’re looking for a way to pull the family camper, haul a livestock trailer, or deliver all the tools and supplies to the work site, you want to get your load to its destination as safely and simply as possible. Many drivers feel that capability begins in the engine. Chevy agrees, and to this end, they have provided drivers with an available Duramax 3.0L turbodiesel engine. Providing 305 hp and 495 lb-ft of torque, this engine is responsible for some of the highest towing capacity numbers on the Silverado 1500, regardless of configuration. Still, the available 420 hp 6.2L EcoTec V8 engine also offers plenty of juice. Those who choose the crew cab short or standard bed models with four-wheel drive have the ability to tow up to 13,000 lbs, which is almost as much as the diesel option. That being said, the words “when properly equipped” exist in the small print for a reason. In order to pull this type of weight, the Silverado 1500 needs to be equipped with Chevy’s Trailering Package, which thoughtfully prepares drivers for various towing situations. This package offers all the basics, including a hitch, hitch platform, 2-inch receiver hitch, and four and seven-pin connectors for lights and brakes. For those looking to max out their Silverado 1500’s performance, the Max Trailering Package has even more to offer. Drivers who select this package will unlock additional towing capabilities and modified rear axles and axle ratios to support heavier loads. This package includes an updated suspension, automatic locking rear differential, updated cooling radiator, and specialized heavy-duty rear springs to make the process possible. Engineering innovations have allowed Chevy to create one of the most capable pickup trucks on the road today, but technological innovations have made capability less cumbersome. Cutting Edge Towing Technology With bigger loads comes more responsibility. Larger, heavier trailers aren’t always simple to guide along city streets and highways. Thankfully, Chevy has developed a series of innovative tools that help drivers get where they’re going. First and foremost are up to 14 different camera views that support trailering. Drivers can select up to eight cameras positioned in and around the truck and trailer to display on the center screen and help them safely maneuver. These include the famous Transparent Trailer view, allowing drivers to see “through” the trailer to its surroundings. Rear Side View provides drivers with a split-screen display of what’s going on along each side of the truck and trailer. It can also be blinker-activated to take the guesswork out of changing lanes and taking tight turns. The Hitch View and Bed View are designed to help with traditional and gooseneck/fifth wheel trailers. Hitch View provides a clear view of a traditional ball hitch, while Bed View gives a glimpse into the cargo bed. With a direct line of sight, hitching up and unhitching no longer requires an entire crew to help guide you. Chevy has also designed its driver assistance technology to accommodate trailering. Not only does the Silverado 1500 offer Blind Zone Alert, but Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert expands the detection zone to include the length of your trailer. Furthermore, Chevy’s Super Cruise with Trailering adjusts the hands-free Super Cruise platform to consider the size of your load when allowing for proper stopping distance. While the presence of a driver educated in trailering is still very much necessary, drivers have more information and assistance than ever before. Performance-Based Trailering: Chevy Silverado HD For years, the Silverado 2500 and 3500 HD have been known for their overall brawn and capability, not for their comfort and innovation. According to Scott Bell, vice president of Chevrolet, this has all changed. While introducing the 2024 Silverado HD lineup, he stated, “We’ve designed the Silverado HD to be our customers’ favored choice for true truck capability. The enhancements to the 2024 model build on its core strengths to provide an even stronger balance of the design, strength, and confidence that makes tackling the hard jobs, including trailering, easier and more convenient than ever.” Much of the 3500HD’s 36,000-lb trailering maximum comes from its performance engineering, though dual rear wheels aren’t required to make magic happen. The 2500HD and 3500HD are available with a Duramax 6.6L turbo-diesel V8 that has been tuned to provide 470 hp and 975 lb-ft of torque. This engine is paired with an Allison ten-speed automatic transmission, which offers smaller “steps” between gears. This results in greater driver control and vehicle responsiveness. Whether accelerating quickly or braking hard, this combination offers a more precise trailering feel. Chevy’s innovative trailering technology extends to the HD line. The Silverado 2500 and 3500 offer Transparent Trailer technology and Enhanced Transparent Trailer, which provides an expanded view for gooseneck and fifth wheel trailers. GCW Alert helps drivers know if they’ve exceeded their vehicle’s Gross Combined Weight Rating. While Super Cruise hasn’t extended to the Silverado HD models yet, Adaptive Cruise Control with Trailer is a brand-new addition that helps monitor drag and braking needs. HD drivers can also take advantage of the available suite of up to 14 camera views offered on the Silverado 1500, with each camera’s specs and positioning reflecting the larger Silverado 2500 and 3500 bodies. The Silverado HD lineup may still be brawny and capable, but they’re also more driver-friendly and safety-focused. A New Frontier of Trailering Modern technological advances have allowed us to increase the capabilities of our favorite pickup trucks. Chevy has taken full advantage of these feats of engineering, applying them wherever possible. From upgraded engines and transmissions to enhanced structural components, Chevy Silverado pickup trucks have power built in. However, Chevy also recognizes the increased need for safety and caution. Trailering technology, including safety-focused camera views and accommodations for greater braking needs in standard driver assistance features, helps drivers maintain awareness of their surroundings, even with a massive trailer blocking the view. It stands to reason that trailering will become easier and easier as technology develops. For many drivers, this is a wonderful thing, at least until we figure out how to teleport 13,000 lbs of cargo from one place to another.

You can’t compete with Chevy and Ford when it comes to full-size trucks. The Silverado 1500 and the F-150 have dominated the industry for generations, offering top towing marks, impressive engine options, and a slew of customization options to meet various driving needs. They’re hard workers, adventurers, and much more, but what often gets overlooked is the plain old daily drive. If you’re one of the many interested in a Chevy Silverado for sale, LaFontaine Chevrolet St. Clair can help you find which model will meet your demands, especially when it comes to the everyday ride. So, let’s compare the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 against the 2024 Ford F-150 and see how they can offer you the experience you’re looking for beyond the job site. more Handling & Efficiency The Silverado 1500 drives like a vehicle much smaller than its actual size, which is a big win for those concerned about handling a full-size truck on city streets. Not only does it showcase precise handling and control, it’s accurate braking and effortless steering allow you to feel confident behind the wheel, no matter where your destination lies. You’ll find a wide range of powertrain options in the Silverado’s lineup, which allows you to harness the excitement you’re searching for during your commute. For those looking for thrills along the way, its 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 won’t disappoint, urging you forward with 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. With either an eight-speed or a 10-speed automatic transmission, depending on your choice of powertrain, you’ll feel in complete control of your drive, enjoying a smooth, responsive ride on the road. Moreover, the Silverado is incredibly efficient, more so than many of its rivals. With its 3.0L Duramax turbo-diesel engine, the only diesel engine available on a light-duty truck today, capable of getting an EPA-estimated 29 MPG on the highway, you’ll spend less time at the gas station and more time enjoying the ride. Although there’s a lot of power coming out of the F-150’s engine lineup, the fuel efficiency isn’t on par with that of the Silverado. The best fuel economy ratings come from its 2.7L turbocharged V6, which can get up to 25 MPG on the highway. It isn’t looking any better for the 3.5L V6 hybrid engine, which maxes out at an EPA-estimated 24 MPG on the highway. If you’re in the mood for more power with the F-150’s supercharged V8 engine, the fuel economy is beyond abysmal, with this powertrain getting up to just 10 MPG in the city and 15 MPG on the highway. Interior Comfort Both the Silverado 1500 and the F-150 offer their drivers a variety of trims to choose from to create the ride they desire. So, which truck offers the better interior experience? The 2024 Silverado 1500’s High Country model features an impeccably laid-out cabin, with premium seat trims wrapping you in luxury. From leather seating surfaces and open-pore wood trim to a 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated seats, and other elegant elements, the comfort level inside the Silverado is plainly beautiful. Plus, you can take advantage of all these features for a reasonable price, as the top-of-the-line High Country comes in at a little under $63K. Now, don’t assume that the F-150 can’t offer you a cozy ride with quality appointments surrounding you. It does this exceptionally well with the alluring Platinum trim, which features multicontour seats, a heated steering wheel, and metal accents throughout. The King Ranch is also a top pick for those seeking ultimate luxury, with leather-trimmed appointments, heated and ventilated seats, and more extravagant features. Both trims will run you about $74K, which is a big jump, considering you can get a similar experience in the Silverado 1500 High Country for much less. Cargo Convenience As you run errands or embark on a road trip out of state, your truck must have the space necessary to accommodate your gear, groceries, and more. Fortunately, the 2024 Silverado 1500 showcases the most functional bed in its class, offering up to 89.1 cu.ft. for everything traveling with you. Of course, what sets the Silverado apart from the rest is that it can be equipped with Chevrolet’s famous Multi-Flex Tailgate. This configurable tailgate operates in six unique ways, allowing you to maximize the amount of space you can get out of your bed, and it also allows you to access your bed quickly with a full-width step. You’ll also find many storage solutions inside to help you maintain organization on board, which is essential as far as the daily drive is concerned. The F-150 has a difficult time keeping up with the Silverado when it comes to cargo. For one, it does not offer as much space inside its bed for your travel belongings. Only able to offer up to 77.4 cu.ft. in its eight-foot bed, you’re vastly limited in what you can carry with you on the road. Naturally, the F-150 doesn’t offer Chevy’s exclusive Multi-Flex Tailgate or any equivalent to it. Ford’s solution to the Multi-Flex is the Pro Access Tailgate, which can open like a traditional tailgate or be configured to open a smaller segment so that you can access your bed with your trailer attached. It’s certainly not the Multi-Flex, which makes the Silverado a better pick when accommodating cargo is on your daily agenda. Connectivity Tech Having access to tech features is absolutely essential as you’re rolling down the highway. Hands-free access to your contacts and connecting to work meetings on the road are necessities in the modern world, and the 2024 Silverado 1500 doesn’t disappoint. With an available 13.4-inch infotainment display, you can enjoy all of your connectivity features in dazzling high definition. Offering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto alongside Google built-in, Amazon Alexa, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and more, your experience inside the Silverado 1500 will be undoubtedly intuitive. Although the F-150 offers some nice tech features, the largest touchscreen you can enjoy is a 12-inch option, which can disappoint those looking forward to a large and prominent touchscreen experience. Silverado 1500 vs. F-150: The Better Ride Overall, pickup trucks do more than just work. They cart the kiddos to school, embark on road trips, and make last-minute stops by the grocery store to pick up forgotten dinner items. They’re versatile members of the automotive industry, and the ability to accomplish these tasks does matter, perhaps even more so than towing capacity. When you want an all-around fantastic ride, you’ll find it on board the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500, with its seamless handling, exceptional efficiency, and outstanding comfort features that won’t break the bank. You’ll also be able to take on all of your cargo easily, connect to your day from the highway, and so much more, adding extreme value to the drive that you certainly won’t find elsewhere. The 2024 Ford F-150 is a great truck; however, it lacks the components that make for a fabulous daily drive. It’s not as fuel efficient, its comfort elements come at a high price, and it doesn’t offer as much space in its bed for everything joining you for the ride. If you want to experience a better way to travel, you’ll do so in the Silverado 1500, allowing you to feel your best as you’re cruising down the open highway and beyond.
