Customized Chevrolet Silverado

Powerful, Customizable, Inexpensive The Chevrolet Silverado is a popular type of full-size pickup truck made by GMC. They are meant for heavy duty work as they are a full-size truck. These trucks can be easily customized depending on the specific model of Silverado you choose. These trucks are usually either rear-wheel or four wheel drive. A buyer has the option of getting a regular or extended cab, extended cabs having the option of 3 or 4 doors. The Chevrolet Silverado is essentially the same as the Sierra, which is considered the luxury version. However, today the Silverado is advertised as the standard model, and is less expensive. There is a little variation in the engine and on the trim on the vehicle, but the differences are minor. The term Silverado was generally used to refer to the C/K trucks GMC made between the years 1975 - 1999. The term has now been broadened to refer to the models being made today. Today’s models have been upgraded from those made two decades ago, including better upholstery, different exterior colors, and better fitted pieces in the interior. The powertrains have been upgraded to a V8 in latest (2007-present) models of the Silverado. The Silverado is a highly praised model, with a Kelly Blue Book rating of 4.6. The Chevrolet Silverado is an ideal work truck. Their powerful engines and maximum towing capability make them a good choice for anyone needed a truck able to pull a heavy workload. The Silverado is also an excellent choice for people who wish to add a lot of customization to their vehicle – cab size, three different bed lengths (short, standard, and extended) and options for trim and the panels in the dashboard. There are also the options of getting a 6 speed automatic or a 4 speed manual transmission. There is even a HD (heavy duty) option for people wanting even more power. Most variations of the Silverado get an average of 15 city/ 20 highway miles per gallon. Depending on size and customization of the vehicle, the Silverado will cost the buyer between $22,000 and $40,000 – a great price for a powerful truck.

2012 Sonic and What to Expect

Rob Dyrdek Shows Off His Super Sonic at the LA Auto Show

Some of the new features of the 2012 Sonic are vast improvements for its class. For one the Chevrolet Sonic is set to have the exact same 1.4L Turbo engine (138hp) the larger Cruze holds which should provide the Sonic with great fuel economy. With a fold down rear seat the Sonic has a lot of cargo space. Personally I like the interior of the model I saw. The steering wheel appears identical to the one in the Cruze and the technology offered is unlike most in its class. The Cruze steering wheel feels solid, so I expect the Sonic's steering wheel to bear the same quality. There are USB hook ups to charge your iPod, or phone, which is an absolute must for anyone with a power hungry smart phone. You also get 6  months of OnStar's Turn-by-Turn and XM Satellite Radio capabilities. The Sonic even connects to MyChevrolet mobile application with OnStar MyLink. We hope to get a Sonic to take a look at in Tucson soon and we expect these to hit our dealership in the next few months. Unfortunatly I am not aware of the pricing, but Chevy assures us it should be very competitive with other models in its class. Around $14,000 to $16,000 seems in the ballpark but I will update once I know for sure.
