There are a lot of excellent places to explore in and around San Antonio, Texas. With Austin and Houston less than a three-hour drive away, San Antonio enjoys a perfect location from which to discover some of the greatest parts of the Lone Star State. But, it’s no secret that gas is priced like gold these days, which is why so many people are taking a shine to electric vehicles. And while EVs have had a reputation for being expensive, the Chevrolet Bolt can proudly call itself one of the most affordable electric cars, with a starting MSRP of $31,500 for the 2022 model. more In fact, Chevy dropped the price of the Bolt considerably from 2020 as a part of its plan to make EVs affordable to all. That’s why so many people are eager to visit a Chevrolet dealership in San Antonio. For those in the San Antonio area in the market for a fuel-efficient vehicle, we welcome you to visit us here at North Park Chevrolet, conveniently located in Castroville, TX, and let us show you what the amazing Chevy Bolt has to offer. This sporty little vehicle is often referred to as a “mini” because of its compact size, but don’t let its dimensions fool you. The Chevy Bolt is surprisingly spacious inside, and it’s a lot of fun to drive. Just when you think Chevrolet’s image is set in stone, focusing on pickups and Corvettes, Chevy proves it will never stop growing and expanding to keep customers happy. Chevrolet might have classic values, but they’re looking to the future with their technology and designs. Chevy has continuously improved on this budget-friendly, attractive mini EV, and we can’t wait to see what next year brings. For now, here are reasons to check out the 2022 Chevy Bolt and why it's a perfect car for residents of San Antonio. It’s Very Spacious for a Mini This little electric hatchback is small enough to easily navigate the busy metropolitan streets and get into compact parking spots. In fact, those are two reasons it could be very appealing to those who often visit Houston or Austin and need to find parking in the bustling downtown areas. However, its diminutive size almost defies the laws of physics because the inside is anything but small. The 2022 Chevy Bolt can accommodate five passengers, so it can just as easily be your road trip vehicle or family car as it can be your commuter car. You can’t talk about an electric vehicle without talking about range. More and more areas are installing charging stations, which should be easy to find around San Antonio. However, if you take this little beauty on a road trip, you’ll want to know how far it can go without needing a plug-in. Luckily, it can go an impressive 259 miles on a full charge. For reference, that’s more than enough to get you to Austin and back, and you can get to Houston without having to plug in. Backseat passengers enjoy a spacious 36 inches of legroom, a total of 94 cu.ft. of passenger volume, and plenty of headspace. Thanks to its hatchback design, it also has a generous cargo area that’s easy to load. The cargo space offers 17 cu.ft. of room for your belongings, and if you choose to fold down the rear seats, you can enjoy even more space for your things. Those back seats are split-folding, too, for a variety of cargo options. All in all, this car is ready for a weekend getaway with friends or family while offering enough space to keep everyone comfortable. Incredible Range The Chevy Bolt has brilliant regenerative brakes that turn some of its energy into electricity, helping you recover a bit of power while you’re out driving. What’s more, is that it has a one-pedal driving mode option. When this is activated, you use just one pedal to speed up and slow down. This feature can significantly improve the range of an electric vehicle, adding quite a few miles to its range (plus, it gives one of your legs a break on long trips). Of course, there’s the matter of how long it takes to get a full charge. And as a Level 2 charging vehicle, the Chevy Bolt can get up to full juice in 9.5 hours. That means you can plug it in when you go to bed, and by the time you’ve had your next morning’s coffee, it should be ready to go. It’s worth noting that when you don’t have 9.5 hours to spare, you can also get a substantial charge by charging it for just a couple of hours, so you can typically get around on a partial charge so long as you have access to charging stations. The Chevy Bolt boasts an MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) of 131 in the city, 109 on the highway, and 120 combined. So when comparing it to non-electric vehicles, the best of which only see numbers in the 40s for MPGs, there is no comparison. A Unique Look The Chevy Bolt has undergone some design changes recently, and its most recent facelift has people talking. Its iconic diamond-like design within the grille has become a bit more subtle with more shallow indents than in previous years. This change lends to the overall improved flow from one end to the other on the car. It still has a mild sloped angle across the front, and the silver accents run along the base of the roof panel and curving alongside the side mirrors, creating a lightning bolt image. However, another change we see is slimmer LED headlights. These replace the round, almost eyeball-like lights from previous years. While they are more discreet, they’re certainly still bright and effective in low-light conditions. This slimming of the lights can be seen in the brake lights, as well, for a uniform look. The fun color options are a mixture of bold and futuristic to match the very nature of the Chevy Bolt. These include ice blue metallic, summit white, mosaic black metallic, bright blue metallic, gray ghost metallic, silver flare metallic, and cherry red tintcoat. So there are subtler choices for those wanting that, but picking a head-turning paint job is also an option. Style and Range at an Affordable Price The Chevy Bolt brings an almost European style, thanks to its mini design, to this iconic American brand and offers an affordable electric vehicle option. It packs a ton of functionality into a small vehicle, with its five seats, large cargo area, and impressive range. It’s a truly versatile vehicle. The Bolt is ideal for cosmopolitan areas, thanks to its parking-friendly dimensions, easy handling, and modern aesthetic. But, as a hatchback, it’s rooted in that road trip lifestyle. And with a 259-mile range, it’s just begging you to take it for long drives to check out all that the great state of Texas has to offer. We love that Chevy has ventured into new territory with this car, showing that they’re capable of much more than pickups and SUVs. Chevy has a history of disproving the myth that any given car style is only for those with a luxury budget. They did it with a sports car when they made the Corvette, and they’ve done it with the electric vehicle by making the Bolt. The future is here for San Antonio drivers, and we invite you to come into North Park Chevrolet to experience the Chevy Bolt for yourself. MSRP may change without notice. See dealer for complete details.

Today, no matter what problem or desire you have, you can count on someone saying, “There’s an app for that.” And that’s true for staying connected with your Chevy, thanks to the myChevrolet app. Chevy recently made major improvements to its myChevrolet app based on user feedback. These improvements have resulted in a more user-friendly interface with more intuitive features, tools, and assistance that real drivers have requested. If you live in the Moore, Texas region, we at North Park Chevrolet would be proud if you considered us your local Moore Chevy dealer and paid us a visit so we could show you how Chevy vehicles are leading the pack in innovation with the myChevrolet app. Your car is one of your most precious possessions, and we love that this app helps you stay up to date on valuable information pertaining to the health of your vehicle. This one little app can help you protect one of your biggest investments. It also has some features that are just a ton of fun to play with. Below, you can take a brief look at all of the surprising things you can do with the app. more Compatibility First off, note that the myChevrolet app is compatible with Android 9 and up, and all iPhones with iOS 13.0 or later. It’s also available for Apple Watch, so if you don’t feel like carrying around your smartphone, you can access most of this handy app’s features right on your wrist—the same place you take calls and check the time. Just log into your Chevrolet or OnStar account to get the app set up for your car. As for vehicle compatibility, the myChevrolet app works on all capable 2015 GM models or newer. Be sure to ask us if the car you’re interested in works with this great app. Remote Commands Using your myChevrolet app, you can remotely lock, unlock and even start the ignition on your vehicle. On those nights you have to park several blocks from your destination and can’t remember whether or not you locked the car; you can get peace of mind knowing that you can simply do so right from your phone. This is also a huge benefit when you lose your key. You can still start the car ignition, even without your key, so long as you have the app, which can provide a temporary replacement until you get a new key. And if a friend wants to retrieve something from your car but you’re not comfortable handing them the keys, just unlock it using your app. It's that simple. Keep Up With Important Info In addition to letting you lock, unlock and start your car remotely, the app also allows you to check important vehicle data from wherever you are. This means you can look into fuel levels or battery life, and plan accordingly. If you find yourself sitting in the office, unsure if you have to leave early to get gas for your next destination, simply open up your app and take a look. And if you do have an electric vehicle but aren’t sure if it’s charged up enough for your next ride, the app can show you that information, too. The app will also show you when it’s time to get an oil change and lets you see your tire pressure. Being aware of these numbers can help prevent mishaps on the road and let you get ahead of any issues. The app also lets you select your preferred service schedule and reminds you when to go in for servicing. Plus, it will let you know of any recalls on your vehicle so you can quickly bring it to your local dealer to address critical replacements and repairs. Locate Your Vehicle Hopefully, your vehicle never gets stolen. But if it does, the myChevrolet app connects to a tracker on your vehicle and shows you your car’s location in real-time. This can help you swiftly track your car down if it goes missing. All crime aside, it’s also handy when you simply don’t remember when you parked your car. If you visit any of the massive parks around the Moore area, it’s easy to lose track of your car after a long day of hiking (or even simply after a long day of shopping at the cute boutiques in town). Member Benefits Don’t forget to enroll in the Chevrolet Rewards Program, through which you can earn points to use towards things like future services, accessories, and even the purchase of a new car. The app conveniently tracks your rewards, so you know when you’ve accumulated enough to add that cool new phone holster or those comfy carpeted floor mats. And when you’re ready to get your next vehicle, apply your rewards for a real cash discount. Learn About Your Driving Habits If you’re open to feedback about your driving habits, the Smart Driver feature on the myChevrolet app is a big perk. It collects data about your driving behaviors and gives you tips on how to improve. If you’ve faced down a few tickets in recent years and would like to put an end to that, let the Smart Driver feature gently direct you on how to be the best driver you can be. This app might also help you save money with your insurance provider, as many offer discounts for good driving habits. Family Sharing If multiple family members drive your vehicle, they can all use the myChevrolet app on their respective phones to access all of these features. The app allows for up to eight family members to be added to each vehicle. You can also manage your Wi-Fi hotspot data plan on the app—so if you notice you need to increase your plan for your family, that’s easily done on your smartphone. Trailering If you like to make use of the wide-open roads around the Moore region to hitch an RV or camper to your vehicle and enjoy some time outdoors, there are many great Chevrolets, like the Silverado 1500 or 2500, to do that with. And what’s more, is that the myChevrolet app can help you do so safely. The app lets you run a trailer test, activating the trailer brake lights and turn signals to ensure those are working. Furthermore, its trailer load calculator helps you get an exact weight for your vehicle and towed load combined, so you know exactly what you’re working with. Remember that towing more than your car can handle can result in hefty fines, or worse, an accident, so always use this feature before trailering anything with your Chevy. If You Have an Electric Vehicle… You might have heard that GM plans to go all electric by 2035, so it’s no surprise that their myChevrolet app has some features for electric vehicles. If you do have an EV, you’ll appreciate that the app shows you where the nearest charging stations are in your area. It also gives you an update on the range of your vehicle and helps you find routes that stay within your range. We suspect that’s only the beginning of the EV-friendly features on this app. Chevrolet is constantly improving the myChevrolet app to reflect drivers’ habits and preferences. Be sure to check in with your favorite app store to see when there’s a new version available.

The 2022 Chevy Colorado ZR2 is built to tackle your next adventure. Created for challenging conditions, the ZR2 thrives when it comes to tough situations. From technical rock crawling to narrow rutted trails to simple everyday driving. Whether you go with the 3.6L V6 engine that delivers 308 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque, or the 2.8L Duramax turbo-diesel engine that gives 181 hp with 369 lb-ft of torque, the ZR2 is more than capable of handling a variety of situations and uneven terrains. And when it comes to towing, if you opt for the diesel Colorado ZR2, you can expect upwards of 7,600 lbs of towing power at your disposal. With additional safety and towing features, Chevy has helped take some of the stress out of towing. So no matter what you're bringing along, your Chevy will help you get it there.

This means your truck can take some bumps and hits here and there on the road without sacrificing your overall comfort inside the cabin.

Chevy offers the iconic Silverado 1500 as a ZR2, making the full-size light-duty pickup truck ready to go from work to play without missing a beat. Like its little brother, the Colorado ZR2, the Silverado ZR2 is equipped with enhanced damping control, plus increased front and rear suspension.

It's capable of handling the dirt roads and paved highways around Bigfoot while keeping you safe and in control when you're behind the wheel. Heavy-Duty Workhorses Maybe you're not so focused on off-roading but still need a powerful and capable truck. The Chevy Silverado 3500 HD is a workhorse designed to handle some of the heaviest hauling and towing jobs out there. The power starts in the engine. Choose from a 6.6L gas V8 or the 6.6L Duramax turbo-diesel V8, either way, you can't lose. The diesel is capable of 445 hp and 910 lb-ft of torque, plus a towing capacity of 36,000 lbs, while the gas V8 offers 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque along with 17,200 lbs of towing. Everything is bigger in Texas, but there's no job too big for the Silverado 3500 HD. Chevy decided to help take some of the stress out of towing with the available advanced trailering system. This technology allows drivers to create trailer profiles to make hitching and towing easier than ever. Plus, to make loading and unloading a cinch, the Multi-Flex tailgate offers up to six different functions. Hauling and towing cargo, whether in a trailer or in the bed, has never been so easy. The Go-To Truck There's a reason the Silverado 1500 is Chevy's best-selling truck. It's a multifunctional tool capable of fitting in where and when you need it to. It doesn't matter if your job takes you out in the fields around Bigfoot or down I-35 into San Antonio; the Silverado 1500 is as flexible as it is capable. Whether you opt for the standard 2.7L High Output Turbo for a respectable 310 hp and 430 lb-ft of torque or go for one of the V8s or the Duramax diesel, the Silverado 1500 never fails to impress when it comes to overall performance. Hardworking like its drivers, while staying lean and flexible to fit into any situation thrown at it, this truck is always up for the job. When it comes to towing, Chevy's advanced technology helps make your day a little easier. With up to eight cameras to give drivers an extra set of eyes, and with the addition of new technology like Trailer Sway Control and Hill Start Assist, Chevy just made towing and hauling a little less stressful and a whole lot easier.

These flexible and dependable vehicles fit in while standing out in the best possible way, and you can find them all here at North Park Chevrolet.

For many, exploring the surrounding nature trails is something to look forward to, but the more you travel into the wilderness, the more dangerous the conditions can become.

The Silverado 1500 has always been a Texas favorite, but the redesigned 2022 model has taken this Chevy staple to a whole new level. The first-ever Silverado ZR2 is here, and it features thrilling features that will ignite a spark of excitement in any journey. From an off-road-ready design, with an off-road cut bumper and reinforced skid plates, to massive 33-inch mud-terrain tires, front and rear electronic locking differentials, all-terrain drive modes, and more, the Silverado ZR2 is an accomplished off-roader.

You've just moved to San Antonio and you need another vehicle to get around town, or maybe you've been a long-time resident of the bustling city and your trusty ride gave out on you. You're strapped for cash and you're eyeing something from local San Antonio used car dealerships, but you're not sure which one to go with and why. Well, you happened upon the right place because we have a list of some used Chevys you might want to consider buying if you live in San Antonio, Texas. Don't worry, here at North Park Chevrolet, we know a thing or two about living in San Antonio, and our list consists of select vehicles perfect for getting around town without breaking the bank. more 7. Chevy Trax A subcompact crossover is perfect for those who may live near or in the campus regions. Maybe you're attending the University of the Incarnate Word or the University of Texas at San Antonio, and you need something to get around the campus community from your living quarters? Well, the Chevy Trax is the perfect vehicle for you. Why? Well, it's small, easy to handle, affordable, and good on gas mileage. It's the perfect little solution for college-aged drivers. If you're opting to buy used, you'll probably want to go with something after 2015 if you want more standard features and amenities. However, if you're really tight on the finances, something pre-2017 will net you the most bang for your buck. An ideal model year and trim would be the 2020 Chevy Trax LT, which comes with a few more standard features, along with optional leather upholstery. Barring the extra amenities, a 2021 Certified Pre-Owned Trax LT would be a great investment due to the extra warranty coverage and the newer model year features. 6. Chevy Camaro Maybe you are looking for something that has a bit more character and performance. Well, there's no better option than a used Chevy Camaro. It's great if you live close enough to the city that you don't have to spend a lot of gas getting to and from your destinations, but you live just far enough outside the urban chaos where occasionally you have to hop on the highway to travel around. The Camaro lives to breathe in the open throttle opportunities on long stretches of road, and that's what makes it a good pick for those with some cash to spare and an eye for sports-tuned performance. If your budget is pretty restrictive, you may want to settle on a fifth-generation Camaro, which you can find from San Antonio used car dealerships for quite the steal. However, if you have some extra cash to burn, the sixth generation is obviously the better bet because it means you can get a certified used Camaro. But what's more is that the newer generation has a lot of great new features, an improved aerodynamic exterior, improved handling, improved performance, and it weighs less, plus it comes with tons of the latest in tech and infotainment features. This makes anything above 2016 a worthwhile buy for San Antonio residents. 5. Chevy Blazer Okay, so you're not in college, don't have a need for a rear-wheel drive roadster, and need something utilitarian but comfortable to get around San Antonio. Well, the Chevy Blazer is a great solution. Not to be confused with the all-new Chevy Trailblazer, the Chevy Blazer is a midsize crossover that taps multiple segments, making it a true renaissance SUV. It's big enough for families, sporty enough for performance enthusiasts, rugged enough for off-road traversal, and economical enough for day-to-day driving. It's the perfect all-around vehicle whether you live in the suburbs or downtown San Antonio. The thing about the Blazer is that it's only been out since 2020, so every used model year is available as Certified Pre-Owned if you want the extra warranty coverage. However, even if you just needed an affordable, stylish crossover, you can find a Chevy Blazer from a San Antonio used car dealership for quite the steal. The 2021 model year would probably be the better option for a feature-rich model, and the 1LT or 2LT trims are great for the extra amenities without raising the overall costs too high. 4. Chevy Tahoe If you need something larger than the Blazer but maybe more economical than the Suburban, the perfect solution is the Chevy Tahoe. While it's large enough to work well for sizable families or regular car-pooling commuters, it's not so unwieldy that it would burn a hole through your wallet. It’s serviceable traveling to and from work, picking all your kids up from school, occasionally towing a boat or a camper for a weekend vacation, and taking your significant other on a night out on the town for a classy event and dinner; the Tahoe can do it all. Your biggest challenge with the Tahoe is finding a trim that may fit within your budget if you're working with rather strict finances. However, the good part is that there are plenty of fourth-generation models available on the market, dating back to 2015. So you can get the large luxury-esque SUV for quite a steal if you know where to look. If your finances are limited, the base LS trim would probably be the better way to go; otherwise, the LT might be preferable with its added interior cabin features. 3. Chevy Colorado If you do some hands-on utility or construction work in or around San Antonio and you need a vehicle that can carry all your tools and occasionally haul goods, Chevy's midsize pickup might be a good fit for you. The Chevy Colorado offers moderate towing and hauling capabilities as a compact truck while being available for a much lower price than some of the larger trucks out there. If you have some distance to travel due to your home and work location being on opposite ends of the city, the fuel economy and lighter weight of the Colorado will help compensate. If you regularly travel off-road or need something for activities outside the city, the ZR2 trim would be a good way to go; otherwise, the LT nets you just about everything you would need from a basic midsize pickup. If you want the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration along with Wi-Fi Hotspot connectivity, you'll want to purchase a 2015 model year or later. If looks are really important to you, then you might prefer going with a 2021 model year, which was refreshed with some new exterior stylings. 2. Chevy Equinox One of Chevy's most popular vehicles on the market today is the highly versatile and very utility-rich Chevy Equinox. This compact crossover is quite the catch on the market due to its reasonable interior volume, moderate towing, decent performance, and great fuel economy for its size. It makes for an effective family vehicle as much as a day-to-day traveling vehicle. If you only have one vehicle for the whole household, the Equinox is a Jack-of-all-trades if you live in San Antonio. It can easily maneuver through the suburbs or campus districts without being too large or cumbersome, and it nets you great gas mileage if you have to travel long distances. If you're strapped for cash, a second-generation Equinox would be a good bet, preferably a 2015 or 2016 model year, since they come with the newer infotainment and connectivity features. If you have some leeway in your finances for something a little more modern, a third-generation Equinox would be the better option. With the third generation, you have more wiggle room with buying Certified Pre-Owned if you opt to, and you can still get the diesel-powered powertrain for the 2018 or 2019 model year Equinox if you want the extra towing power and gas-saving availability. 1. Chevy Silverado 1500 One of America's most popular vehicles on the market today, and one of the most popular vehicles in Texas, the Chevy Silverado 1500 series makes for an excellent pick if you live in San Antonio, Texas. Why? Because if you regularly have to tow daily or haul heavy loads, the Silverado 1500 can easily get it done as a reliable work truck. With the CrewCab and standard bed, you basically have a truck that can seat the entire family – or up to six passengers – and can carry more than a half-ton worth of cargo in the bed. The Silverado 1500 is a real light-duty workhorse. For the Chevy Silverado 1500, you have a lot of options to exercise at San Antonio used car dealerships because it's such a popular vehicle you can find tons of different model years and trims available from used dealers. With the Silverado 1500, you're in safe hands with anything from the third or fourth generation, typically from 2015 on up. Of course, if you wanted a Certified used Silverado, you would have to go with something a little newer. Typically the LT or LTZ are the preferred trims for everyday truckers, but you could go with the LT Trail Boss if you needed a 4x4 for off-road use or the High Country if you have some change to spare in your wallet and you wanted to indulge in a little light-duty luxury while cruising around the streets of San Antonio.

Chevy trucks have always been known for their dependability and unwavering standards of quality. While there’s always excitement buzzing about the current Chevy lineup of cars, trucks, and SUVs, did you know that test driving and purchasing a used Chevy can provide you with the same high standard of quality that you’ll find with the current lineup? Whether it’s last year’s model, or one manufactured a decade ago, Chevy trucks possess the ability to go the extra distance for their owners. more At North Park Chevrolet, we pride ourselves on offering our customers the best that Chevy has to offer. We’re not just a used truck dealership, we’re the best Castroville used truck dealer, and we take our inventory very seriously. There are several models of Chevy trucks that are just as dependable as their newer counterparts, and we’ve gathered a few examples of them that will assist you at work and play. 2013 Chevy Avalanche We’re kicking things off with a blast from the past. If you’ve ever wondered what the love child of a Chevy truck and SUV might look like, then the Avalanche is certainly the answer and one that was beloved by many devotees of the bow-tie brand. While no longer in production, a used Avalanche will afford you all the advantages of owning a Chevy truck, with the versatility of an SUV. Powered by a 5.3L V-8 capable of generating 320 horsepower, you’re also taken care of if you have a penchant for towing, with a capacity of 5,000 lbs. Available cargo bed space of over 8 feet and a payload of 1,300 lbs makes for a vehicle that’s excellent all around. 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 The Silverado 1500 has long been heralded as the standard-bearer for the fleet of Chevy trucks. There’s a good reason for that. The Silverado is just as versatile as it is powerful. With each year that passes, the model seems to age like a fine bottle of wine. Following a redesign in 2016, the Silverado that emerged for the 2017 model year once again proved why it’s the king of the mountain, the road, and every other location in between. Many have described the Silverado 1500 as a workhorse, and believe us when we say that it lives up to its name in every possible aspect. For 2017, an available towing capacity of 9,400 lbs outperformed every other truck in its class, once again establishing the truck’s consistent supremacy. Depending upon which model you find, you’ll have plenty of performance, as this year, Chevy put the word “power” in “powertrain.” A 4.3L V-6 came standard and had impressive capabilities such as 285 horsepower and 305 lb-ft of torque. For those who are always on the lookout for stronger engines, a 5.3L and 6.2L V-8 were available and had more than enough power to leave the competition far behind. The 5.3L V-8 boasted specs of 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, whereas its big brother cranked out 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Just like many Silverado 1500s, the 2017 model has the ability to go the distance with a potential life span of 200,000 miles...now that’s making a return on your investment. 2018 Chevy Colorado For those of you who have fond memories of the Chevy S-10, you’ll be happy to know that the Chevy Colorado is the ideal heir apparent to the throne of the beloved and revered smaller-sized Chevy pickup. Despite what some people might tell you, big things do indeed come in small packages, and the Colorado is proof of this sentiment. Versatility has always been the cornerstone of the Chevy truck, and the Colorado embraces this quality wholeheartedly. Much like the Silverado 1500 the previous year, the Colorado soundly beat out the competition when it came to towing prowess. Boasting an impressive 7,700 lbs towing capacity, the Colorado proved to be the smaller-sized pickup with big ambitions. While an inline 4-cylinder came standard, there was also room for improvement with a Duramax turbo-diesel and a highly effective V-6 engine capable of 308 horsepower. Such a unique lineup of engine offerings made the 2018 Colorado more versatile than the competition. For those of you who live for traveling off the pavement, you might be fortunate enough to track down a Colorado with the ZR2 off-road package. Even if you’re more comfortable staying on the beaten path and not off it, the specially designed suspension system for the Colorado ZR2 might prove too much of a temptation to not try out in the wild. The Colorado ZR2 also happens to rank high in terms of reliability, making it one of the most dependable trucks on the road today. With so much versatility, the Colorado might just be the last pickup you ever feel the need to buy. 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500/3500 HD We go from the little truck that could to the big trucks that can. Can what? Can do everything you need it to. The Silverado 2500 and 3500 HD are for the big jobs and heavy workloads that would make anyone else shrink up into the fetal position. Arriving in 1999, the same year that witnessed the arrival of the GMC Denali trim line, these vehicles are proof that the year in question was more than ideal for GM. Should you find either the 2500 or 3500 HD, you’ll soon have a greater understanding of the phrase “work smart, not hard.” The powertrain options that Chevy equipped their heavy-duty workhorses with that year consisted of two engines that were both 6.6L V8s. The gasoline-powered engine was the standard offering and could easily make the earth shake with its 401 horsepower. This was complemented by the ability to generate 464 lb-ft of torque. Of course, there’s always room to get more done, and just as they’ve been doing for the past several years, it’s a Duramax diesel engine that can be that pivotal “ace up your sleeve.” The 6.6L Duramax Diesel came equipped with a ten-speed automatic transmission and leveled the entire playing field with the capability to generate 445 horsepower and an astonishing 910 lb-ft of torque. Allowing the 3500 HD a maximum 35,500 lbs of towing capacity, this is one diesel that delivers in every sense of the word. Of course, both models offer workers a sizable advantage in the payload department as well, with payload capacities of up to 3,715 for the 2500 HD and 7,145 for the 3500 HD. A Chevy Used Is a Chevy for You We certainly hope you’ve enjoyed this unique detour away from convention to see what a used Chevy can deliver to you in terms of performance, versatility, and of course, the results that only a tried-and-true workhorse can generate. As we’ve seen, there’s a size and model of Chevy truck for every driver and every purpose. This standard of quality has been a part of Chevy since its inception over a century ago. With results that go back that far, it’s no surprise that the models manufactured in our time still possess that quality that very few manufacturers come close to matching in terms of delivering the very best for their customers. Don’t hesitate—that Chevy might be used, but it’s also perfect for you and what you need to accomplish.

Finding a quality truck dealer with sales professionals who truly understand the ins and outs of pickup trucks isn’t as easy as googling " truck dealer near me." Instead, consider whether your dealer can truly work with you to determine the best truck for your individual needs. Not all pickup buyers are alike: some need a rig for the job site, others want to hit the backcountry trails and a few demand high-end luxury. more With such diverse criteria, it helps to decide how you’ll use your truck. Then, you can focus your search and not waste time on models and criteria that aren’t important. Our team can help you do that and introduce you to Chevrolet’s diverse range of pickup trucks. Whether you want a mid-size Colorado with a fuel-efficient motor for commuting or your needs require a large, heavy-duty Silverado, you’ll find it here. While power and capability are typically first on buyers’ lists, they’re not the only considerations. You’ll want to think about technology, infotainment, and even cabin finishes. It’s the bells and whistles many buyers are after, and luckily both the Colorado and the Silverado lineup offer plenty of upscale features and equipment packages designed for customization to your individual level of style and comfort. The Colorado: Midsize Practicality With Plenty of Grit One look at the 2022 Colorado, and it’s clear that Chevy understands the needs of midsize truck buyers. First, it’s stylish, a fact that will appeal to commuters and everyday drivers looking to break out of the SUV bubble. Style is just the first impression, though, since this newest Colorado offers some pretty impressive capabilities, including off-roading packages for adventure seekers. The Colorado comes in five cool colors, including a bold Bright Blue Metallic for buyers that like to stand out. Four available trims–the Wt, the LT, the Z71, and the ZR2–range from utilitarian work truck setups to gritty off-roaders with all-terrain tires and factory lifts for optimal ground clearance. You can add handy features like corner steps built into the rear bumpers, as many as 17 tie-downs in the bed for securing your ATVs, and even advanced infotainment technology. Take your pick from four available engines, including a Duramax diesel, which is unique in the midsize truck category. A standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder gets you 200 horsepower and 191 lb-ft of torque, enough to tow up to 3,500 pounds effortlessly and achieve 25 MPG of highway fuel economy. You can upgrade to a 3.6-liter V6 which increases output to 308 horsepower and 275 lb-ft of torque or go for the gusto and add a 2.8-liter turbo-diesel for 369 lb-ft of torque and a towing capacity of 7,700 pounds. Off-roaders can skip to the top of the lineup and grab a Colorado ZR2 Bison. This beast includes equipment from American Expedition Vehicles (AEV), including front and rear winches, boron steel skid plates, and special AEV bumpers. A set of fog lights helps with trail visibility, and special 17-inch dark graphite aluminum wheels and a wider stance give your ZR2 Bison a more aggressive curb appeal. The Silverado 1500: Legendary Toughness Meets Style The 2022 model year marks a new generation of the iconic Silverado 1500 pickup, and the headline is capability. This newest Silverado can tow up to 13,300 pounds and haul 2,270 pounds of payload. For the first time ever, Chevy introduced a Silverado 1500 ZR2 trim, and it’s your ideal companion for rough trail rides and backcountry exploration. There’s even an option for hands-free driving. First, it’s important to acknowledge that this newest Silverado pickup is coming at a time when pickup truck buyers are demanding it all, from capability and power to high-end upscale interiors. It’s possible to get it all in one package, thanks to Chevy’s diverse nine trim lineup. Alongside all this innovation, it’s good to know that fleet buyers and those seeking a utilitarian truck for the job site can still get an affordable 2022 WT model. Among the highlights is Chevy’s plush High Country trim. It features premium leather seating and a 13.4-inch infotainment touchscreen with connectivity to your smartphone via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Eight on-board cameras offer up to 14 different views, making trailer hook-up a breeze. The cameras also work with Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of driver-assist safety technologies designed to keep occupants safe and drivers alert and fatigue-free. If it’s all about mud-soaked adventure, consider the 1500 ZR2. With its Multimatic DSSV dampers, special off-road-tuned suspension, and 33-inch mud-terrain tires, the ZR2 is ready for water fording, rock climbing, and trail riding. Daily drivers and families might consider the 1500 LTZ, featuring 20-inch wheels, upgraded infotainment systems, and perforated leather seating, along with a premium Bose audio system to keep the kids entertained on road trips. The Silverado HD Lineup: Ready for Hard Work The landscape of heavy-duty truck buyers continues to evolve as families discover the benefits of owning a pickup, with its open bed for hauling cargo and spacious crew cab accommodations. This is the truck you need if you’re hauling a fifth wheel or a gooseneck trailer. With up to 36,000 pounds of max trailering capability and all the advanced trailering technology found on the 1500 version, it’s the perfect rig for towing. The Silverado HD comes in 2500 and 3500 versions and a choice of two powerful engines. The first is a gas-powered 6.6-liter V8. It makes 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque, and it’s mated to a 6-speed transmission. Next is a Duramax Turbo-Diesel 6.6-liter V8, offering 910 lb-ft of torque and 445 horsepower. It comes with a special 10-speed Allison transmission for tons of low-range power. If you like finding ways to make the work go more smoothly, Chevy has thought of a few innovations that will simplify everything from trailer hook-up to loading and unloading the truck bed. First is the Multi-Flex Tailgate, which can be configured in six different ways. Convert it into a step for easy bed access or use it as a load stop for worry-free hauling. The inner gate can serve as a convenient mobile workstation, too. Chevy also offers its Durabed for the most cargo volume in the category, along with 12 tie-downs and the option to add LED bed lighting and a 120-volt outlet, which comes in handy on the job site and the campsite. Inside, the HD’s cabin contains tons of handy storage areas, including concealed storage space behind and under the rear seat. You can choose from five available trims and easily dial in the features and capabilities you’ll need. It’s a Great Time to Buy a Chevy Pickup When it comes to Chevy’s pickup truck lineup, the keyword is definitely versatility. Chevy wants buyers to find a truck that doesn’t just meet their needs but exceeds them. The way to do that is to offer plenty of options in size, capability, features, and–most important–price. Choosing between the Colorado, the Silverado 1500, or the Silverado HD 2500/3500 boils down to determining how you’ll use your truck. The best news is that no matter which rig you pick, you’ll be driving home in a truck with the famous Chevy bowtie emblem, which means you’re guaranteed quality, capability, and durability. Add a little bit of luxury with high-end trims like the High Country, or keep it simple with a base WT. The choice is yours!

If you need it for work, school, shopping, family outings, or just day-to-day errands, the Malibu gets the job done and looks good doing it. The 2020 model year, in particular, is a favorite because it comes after the 2019 restyling with a sexier front fascia and more standard safety features.

For every driver, there comes a time when you will need to sell your car. Whether you plan to trade it in for a newer model or just sell your spare vehicle, the time will come for you to finally say, “I need to sell my car.” If you are ready to part ways with the vehicle that has been sitting in your driveway or garage for years to give it a new life with a new owner, just know there is a recipe to successfully sell your car to get what it’s worth, and we'll divulge these secrets just for you. So when the time comes, remember to do these five things before listing your car to maximize its worth. more #1 Choose Your Selling Method There are actually a variety of ways you can sell your vehicle based on the amount of time and effort you are able to dedicate to finding a new home for your car. Traditionally, many drivers choose to trade in their vehicle and put it towards the purchase of a new one. However, if you don’t need a new car, you have the option to sell it directly to a dealer or take the responsibility into your own hands and sell the vehicle yourself. Both of which come with their pros and cons. Going the dealer route, whether it's a trade-in or selling directly for cash, is typically the simplest choice. Selling a car can be time-consuming and often mentally exhausting. From preparation to listing it to advertising and then meeting and bargaining with potential buyers, there’s a lot more to the selling process than just putting a "for sale” sign on the window and waiting for someone to bite. Some people prefer to do the work themselves, hoping to get more from the sale that way; however, time is valuable and investing it in the car-selling process can often produce less than spectacular results if you are not experienced in selling vehicles. If you’re looking for a quick and easy sale, sell it to a dealer like us and we'll take on the burden of finding a new owner for you. If you prefer to do it all on your own, that's fine too. No matter which method you choose, you’ll still have a little bit of work you’ll need to do to seal the deal and get the most from your sale. Preparation is key when deciding to handle the duties normally delegated to a dealer. #2 Determine Your Selling Price Once you have figured out which selling method works best for you and your goals for selling your car, the next thing you want to do is study the market. As much as your vehicle may seem worth to you, the market value may not agree. This is why you need to research what your make and model is going for around your area. Researching local used car dealerships and even websites like Kelley Blue Book and local online marketplaces is a great place to start to get an idea of your car's value. This allows you to generate a fair and reasonable price range that you are willing to sell your car for, whether as a trade or for cash from a dealer or private sale. However, if you know you want to sell your car to a dealer, get an accurate estimate of its value. Although we still encourage you to investigate what models similar to yours are selling for so you know you are getting a fair deal, your best bet is to go straight to your chosen dealership. Another thing to consider while researching the market for your car’s selling price is where models like yours are selling. If you plan on trying to sell your heavy-duty, full-size pickup privately in the city you live in, and you see that the few trucks like yours that are listed for sale on the internet in your area have been listed for a while, possibly even with decreased sale prices, you may not want to advertise it there due to lack of demand. You may find that listing it in the rural areas around the heart of the city you reside in can get you better results. Understanding your potential customer demographic may generate potential areas you can list your vehicle on. Try to think beyond just your town or city. You may need to expand your selling radius in order to attract a buyer. Dealerships also come with some factors to consider before agreeing to sell to them. If you browse through the inventory on their website and find they are stocked with many models like yours, you might not want to sell to them. They’ll likely buy from you, but perhaps not at the price you were hoping for. To get the most from your sale, research the market. #3 Prepare Your Car for the Sale No matter which method you choose to sell your car, you will need to do some prep-work before the sale. From the squealing brakes to the squeaky door to even just a deep cleaning to the interior and exterior, you will want to make sure your vehicle is presentable and in good working order to get what your car is worth. That is unless you are willing to accept less than its market value, but let's be honest, you hope to make a profit, right? Of course. One of the benefits of selling to a dealership, whether as a trade-in or for cash, is that you can skip some of the preparation if you want to. Most dealerships are going to perform a thorough inspection, make repairs, and do a full detailing to your car before they sell it to another buyer. If you wanted to replace the headlight that was out and only do light cleaning to the interior and exterior, or just skip it all completely, a dealer will still likely buy it from you, just at a lower price than if you had fixed the obvious issues and gotten it detailed yourself. If you choose not to clean your vehicle at all and put it out for sale yourself with a headlight out, with a dirty exterior, and an interior that looks like you shaved your dog in the back seat, potential buyers will hassle you on the price, and unless you are willing to take less than its worth, you are going to have a lot of people pass on the sale. To put it simply—you're going to get out what you put into it. Whether you sell your car yourself or to a dealership, what you will need to do is clean out all of your personal belongings and remove your personal information from the car completely. This includes removing anything from the vehicle you don’t want the next owner to have. Whether it be your roadside emergency kit in the back or anything you may have lost in the storage compartments throughout the cabin over the years, if it's important, make sure it's out of the car. Most importantly, make sure you remove any paperwork from the vehicle with your personal information. The last thing you need to do in preparation for selling your car, which is just as crucial as removing your physical imprint from the car, is removing your digital footprint. This includes wiping the history from your vehicle’s navigation, deleting your cell phone’s connected information with your saved contacts, and even canceling or transferring any subscriptions like satellite radio. Once your car is clear of all the signs of your ownership, you are ready for everyone's least favorite part of the car selling process. #4 Gather Paperwork Gathering the paperwork to sell your car sounds easier than it is, especially if you have never sold a vehicle before. Get yourself prepared to do some research and hunting because unless you plan on selling to a dealership, the whole paperwork process is in your hands. Although some of the documents we’re going to recommend are not required to complete a sale, they will make your vehicle more appealing to potential buyers, which in turn could get you more money than if you didn’t have them. If your vehicle is still covered under an extended warranty and you are selling privately, it’s good to have the details and proof of the warranty handy for your potential buyers. It will not only increase the value of your vehicle and make it more appealing than other vehicles being sold privately but having the information will make it easier for them when they need to make a claim under warranty. Dealerships usually have access to look up any warranty information on your vehicle, but it won’t hurt to bring it along if you have it handy. The universal piece of paperwork needed for any car sale is a vehicle’s title since it is documentation of the vehicle’s legal owner. With any car sale, you will need a transfer of title. Some states do not require a title to sell a car once it has reached a certain age, but Texas is not one of them. The state even recommends that if you sell your car privately, to visit them at the county tax office and make sure they file for the transfer of title. By doing this, you cannot be held liable for tolls, parking tickets, or even crimes that the buyer committed in your vehicle. Dealerships are not required to transfer the title in their name when buying your vehicle. It is recommended that even if you sell to a dealer, you file for a Vehicle Transfer Notification. This ensures that once the dealer does sell your car to someone, you are protected against violations committed by whoever bought your car and failed to transfer the title into their name. A sales contract like a bill of sale is another piece of documentation commonly used with car sales. In the pile of paperwork that gets put in front of you at a dealership when you buy, sell, or trade-in a vehicle of the documents requiring your signature is usually some sort of sales contract. But when you’re handling the sale of your car on your own, you are in charge of getting all the paperwork together and ready for your buyer. #5 List Your Car for Sale Now that you have your selling price in mind, your car is prepped, you’ve cleaned the vehicle and made any necessary repairs, or not, and you’ve gathered all of the paperwork you need, you are ready to list your vehicle for sale. Take a few pictures of your car's interior and exterior, put together a detailed description of the vehicle, slap the “for sale” sign in the window, and list it online. It is good practice to list your car for sale on many platforms or websites to reach as many people as possible. But if you’re selling to a dealership, all you need to do is shop around for the dealer who will offer you the most for your vehicle. Ready to Sell Your Car?

A vehicle’s fuel efficiency is always one of the most considered features when shopping for a car. You don’t want to spend extra time and money at the gas pump! So, rather than cut your trips, purchasing a fuel-efficient SUV is the best option. Even used SUVs still offer excellent gas mileage. Before you start searching for " used car dealer near me " online, we’ve done some research for you to help find the best used fuel-efficient SUV for your needs. Whether you’re looking for something compact or an SUV to seat 7 passengers, we have you covered below! more Toyota RAV4 The Toyota RAV4 has long been a popular SUV choice for both the new and used markets. Its incredible reliability and quality keep people coming back year after year. The Toyota RAV4 is also one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs today, and with the launch of the RAV4 Hybrid in 2017, there are even more ways to get a fuel-efficient Toyota RAV4. Whether you choose the Toyota RAV4 or the RAV4 Hybrid, you still get impressive fuel economy, but the RAV4 Hybrid will offer the best gas mileage. In the 2018 Toyota RAV4, the standard engine estimates 23 MPG (miles per gallon) in the city and 29 MPG on the highway. The 2018 RAV4 Hybrid boasts 34 MPG in the city and 30 MPG on the highway. Both the 2020 Rav4 and its hybrid counterpart improve upon these impressive numbers even further, with the Rav4 getting 28 MPG in the city and 35 on the highway. The 2020 Rav4 Hybrid gets 41 MPG in the city and 38 on the highway. Other features to love about a used Toyota RAV4 (both Hybrid and standard) are its spacious interior, innovative technology, and standard suite of safety features. This versatile SUV can make family life, work life, and adventure life all work beautifully. If you prioritize fuel economy, the RAV4 is an SUV that will exceed your expectations. Honda CR-V The Honda CR-V falls in the same category as the Toyota RAV4, so the competition is fierce, but the CR-V rises to the challenge year after year. It's made its place as one of the most popular compact SUVs because of its quality, features, and fuel economy. Like the RAV4, the Honda CR-V has a hybrid option that offers extended fuel efficiency. In 2020, the first Honda CR-V Hybrid was launched with 40 MPG in the city and 35 MPG on the highway. Even the standard 2020 Honda CR-V features an impressive fuel economy at 28 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the highway. Going back a few years to the 2017 Honda CR-V you can still get up to 34 MPG fuel efficiency. The 2017 CR-V was also all-new that model year, so it is a great used option that’s budget-friendly without sacrificing innovative features. Toyota Highlander Hybrid If you thought only small SUVs have suitable fuel efficiency, you haven’t seen the Toyota Highlander Hybrid! With many car brands introducing hybrid options, Toyota focused on a more fuel-efficient, 3-row midsize SUV. When you have a large family, you shouldn’t have to sacrifice fuel economy for space and comfort. In the Toyota Highlander Hybrid, you have three rows of seating, standard safety suite, and a performance-driven engine. All-new features were introduced in the 2020 Highlander Hybrid, like a standard V6 engine, offering up to 36 MPG in fuel economy. An earlier model, like the 2018 Highlander Hybrid, offers 30 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway. You get the best of both worlds in the Highlander Hybrid—a powerful engine and fuel efficiency. The Toyota Highlander Hybrid provides all the features you love from the Toyota Highlander, like a best-in-class touchscreen in the 2020 model and the Driver Easy Speak System available in the 2018 models and beyond. It’s an ideal family SUV that fits both small and large families, plus the gear that comes with each journey. Kia Sorento The Kia Sorento is a quality SUV that works beautifully as a used SUV. It also falls in the same category as the Toyota Highlander by offering three rows of seating. The Sorento is another example of a three-row midsize SUV with good fuel efficiency. There are also hybrid and plug-in hybrid options released over the last couple of years, so watch for those models to move into the used car market. Still, the standard Kia Sorento offers a fuel economy that's hard to rival. The 2019 and 2020 Kia Sorento estimates up to a 29 MPG average of both city and highway, while the 2018 Sorento is very similar at 28 MPG fuel economy average. There are also a number of features available in the Sorento to make it the ideal family SUV. Upgrades include leather seating, premium audio, heated and ventilated seats, and an advanced infotainment system. There’s a lot to love in the Kia Sorento and the fuel- economy is near the top of the list. Nissan Kicks The Nissan Kicks is the smallest of Nissan SUVs but doesn’t lack features, especially fuel efficiency. If you don’t need a lot of space or drive tight city streets consistently, the Nissan Kicks is a great option. Probably the Kicks’ best feature is its excellent fuel economy. With each model year, you can expect an emphasis on fuel efficiency. In the 2020 Nissan Kicks it estimates 31 MPG in the city and 36 MPG on the highway. In the 2020 Kicks you’ll also find a standard safety feature suite, plus an available premium audio system and infotainment system. The Nissan Kicks engine has been consistent through the years, so even the first year of the Kicks in 2018 boasted an average fuel economy of up to 36 MPG. Despite its subcompact size, the Nissan Kicks still features a spacious interior that keeps each passenger comfortable. It’s also a versatile SUV for cargo. The rear seats easily fold, giving you a maximum cargo capacity of 53 cubic feet. Whether you choose a used Nissan Kicks for the fuel economy or nimble size, you won’t be disappointed in its abilities! Subaru Crosstrek Subaru makes some of the most reliable vehicles in the industry, and they are consistently popular in the market of adventurous drivers. One of the great appeals to the Subaru Crosstrek is it comes standard with all-wheel drive and impressive off-roading capability. Even though the Crosstrek prioritizes ability and performance, it still boasts an excellent fuel economy. The 2020 Subaru Crosstrek features an estimated 27 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the highway. There’s also a plug-in hybrid option for the 2020 Crosstrek that extends its efficiency to a combined 35 MPG. If you choose to buy an earlier model like the 2017 Crosstrek, it will still yield 26 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the highway. This just goes to show you that no matter the model you choose for the Crosstrek, you still get the full package of safety, durability, capability, and efficiency. What more could you want in a used SUV? Which SUV Are You? With an endless amount of SUVs on the market today, it’s difficult to know which one is best.

The daily commute is a lifelong ritual for almost everyone who works or attends school. For most, it becomes a ritual, specialized playlists, iced coffee, and the same roads you’ve taken hundreds of times before. For a driver like you, a vehicle that combines fuel efficiency and comfort is your holy grail. You spend a lot of time in your vehicle. It’s basically like a second home, and it should reflect that. Every inch of space matters. Every feature that keeps you safe and secure is important. The quality of the speakers, the ambiance of the interior, and the quality and comfort of the cabin are all factors in choosing the design best suited for your commuting needs. Here at North Park Chevrolet, your local Braun’s Farm Chevy dealership, we understand that. That’s why we have compiled a special list just for drivers like you. Here are the three best Chevys for commuters. more 1 - 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV Electric vehicles are slowly beginning to gain traction in the auto market. Just a few short years ago, EVs were considered a sort of pipe dream, as the first generation of these vehicles were lacking in many key aspects. Now, Chevy has forever changed that narrative with its all-new 2022 Bolt EUV. One of the chief complaints with electric vehicles was that they were limited in range due to inferior battery technology. The 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV smashes that complaint with its ability to travel an astounding 247 miles on a full charge. Another fault drivers pointed out in early electric vehicles was the general lack of cargo space, making menial tasks like stopping at the grocery store difficult. With 56.9 cubic feet of cargo space, the 2022 Bolt EUV alleviates that concern as well, as that amount of space is well suited to handle virtually any day-to-day activity without leaving you feeling cramped. If you’re someone who keeps a keen eye out for new, innovative driving technologies, this is where the 2022 Bolt EUV will really sell itself. It comes with a revolutionary new hands-free driving system. While the technology does not technically drive itself, it comes pretty close. Called Super Cruise, it is actually hands and feet-free. When the green light bar on the top of the steering wheel illuminates, it means you’re on one of the over 200,000 miles of highways that are programmed into the car’s computer––and that includes Highway 90 right in front of our dealership! From there, all you have to do is accelerate to your desired speed and hit the Super Cruise button to activate the feature. The system will keep the car centered in its current lane (but will not change lanes) at the desired speed, with a self-braking system in place to avoid collisions. This means more time to relax and enjoy the smooth comfort of your daily drive. With its range, innovation, and plentiful cargo space, the 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV is the premier choice in electric vehicles for commuters. 2 - 2022 Chevy Trax Maybe you’re a driver who is looking for versatility and efficiency but is resigned to the knowledge that your budget is not robust enough to afford more expensive, higher-end models. However, don't think that you’ll have to settle for a lower-quality vehicle. What if you could still get a reliable new Chevy that is fuel-efficient, comfortable, and perfect for your daily commutes without breaking the bank? If this is something that interests you, you then look no further than the 2022 Chevy Trax. The 2022 Trax is a subcompact SUV boasting 18.7 cubic feet of cargo space (48.4 cubic feet with the backseats folded down), making it ideal if you commute with passengers or need to carry tools or equipment with you on your way to work. A standard 7-inch infotainment system with a six-speaker audio system and integrated Apple CarPlay and Android Auto technology ensures that you will be able to have plenty of entertainment with you on every drive. The Trax even has a Wi-Fi hotspot and SiriusXM satellite radio standard for additional entertainment options. Adding to the cost savings is the impressive fuel efficiency of the 2022 Trax. Equipped with a 155-horsepower four-cylinder engine gets a respectable 32 MPG highway, the Trax is squarely in the category of fuel-efficient SUVs, saving you money at the gas pump. One of the more important factors for spending a large amount of time on the road is safety. The vehicle you buy can’t just be affordable, fuel-efficient, and comfortable––all of those things mean nothing if you don’t feel safe behind the wheel. The 2022 Chevy Trax has you covered in that category too, posting a five-star safety rating from the NHTSA. To briefly recap, the 2022 Chevy Trax is budget-friendly, fuel-efficient, comfortable, versatile, and one of the safest vehicles on the road today. What's not to like? 3 - 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 Limited On a list intended for commuters, it may seem questionable that a truck makes the cut. In a market where efficiency and cost are key factors in choosing a vehicle, a 2022 Silverado 1500 Limited may seem like an odd choice on the surface. But this truck is built for commuting, maybe not for commuting in the traditional sense, but for those who face daily commutes while hauling or towing tools or equipment. One of the big perks of the 2022 Silverado 1500 Limited is that it can easily tow up to 13,300 pounds, making it perfectly suitable for almost all work-related towing needs. In terms of a working truck for tradespeople, the 2022 half-ton pickup from Chevy is about as reliable and versatile as one could hope, putting it near the top of the market in those categories. One of the features that helps it make this list for commuters is the truck's surprising agility. The 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 Limited is a half-ton pickup, but it doesn’t drive like it. The ride is smooth, with a firm and responsive brake pedal that always makes you feel like you’re in control, even when you’re towing heavy loads. The standard turbocharged 4-cylinder engine also provides an estimated 22 MPG highway, while the available diesel engine is rated for 31 MPG highway. A multifunction multi-positional tailgate and intuitive towing features will give you an easy ride every time, whether you’re hauling a trailer or have a full bed of cargo. As Chevy's flagship product, the 2022 Silverado 1500 Limited lives up to its reputation of reliability and dependability every mile. Make Your Commute Better in a Chevy! Whether you are an eco-friendly commuter seeking an electric car, a more traditional driver who wants to avoid a high price tag, or even a blue-collar worker looking to commute to job sites in something powerful enough for heavy towing, we have you covered. With makes and models to fit any driver’s personality and desires, Chevy offers an option for everyone, and you can find them all here at North Park Chevrolet. Be it the innovative 2022 Chevy Bolt EUV, the affordable 2022 Chevy Trax, or the mighty 2022 Chevy Silverado 1500 Limited, the comfort commuter car of your dreams is waiting for you on our lot.

Life-long fans of Chevrolet know that the brand builds their vehicles with top-of-the-line materials and with their customer’s safety as a top priority. If it’s got the Chevy logo on it, you know it’s a vehicle that’s going to last you many years and many miles while providing peace of mind. Chevy is nearly synonymous with the word SUV, so if you’re in the market for a car that can transport your passengers and cargo in comfort, visit North Park Chevrolet, your local Oak Grove Chevrolet dealer, to look at our current lineup of options. Of course, there are multiple types of SUVs, and each serves its purpose. You have your crossovers, which are the smallest option and will feel more like a standard car. These are excellent for the driver looking for the smoothest maneuverability who doesn’t need a tremendous amount of space but still wants the scaled-up size of an SUV. Crossovers might not be ready to handle rough roads like larger SUVs, but they will typically offer excellent fuel economy. A mid-size SUV will drive more like a truck and provide a more authentic SUV experience. It can handle rougher terrain and will have plenty of room inside. Your full-size SUV will handle the most like a large truck. These SUVs offer a high driving position, great traction in less-than-ideal road conditions, and ample space for cargo and passengers. Chevrolet offers SUVs from each of these families. Determining the best for your needs will be a matter of assessing what you’ll use it for. No matter which direction you take, you can feel confident knowing you’re driving one of the best-constructed brands on the market. more Best Chevy Crossovers The 2022 Chevy Equinox This sporty vehicle handles smoothly and is ideal for someone seeking a compact SUV. It has a unique and stylish design and is available in several models, each of which comes standard with a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine. While it might not be intimidating in size, it packs a lot of power. There are many options for customizing this SUV, including those for the infotainment system, navigation system, and luxury additions like heated seats and illuminated sun visors. A lot of attention to detail was given to the 2022 rendition of this relatively new addition to the Chevrolet family. Every 2022 Chevy Equinox comes standard with safety aids, including a forward collision mitigation system to alert you when a crash is impending, lane assist to keep you within your lane, and a rear-seat reminder, which reminds you to look at the back seat before getting out of the car. The 2021 Chevy Trax One of the smallest SUVs offered by Chevy, the Trax will come closest to the standard car driving experience. Those overwhelmed by the heft of traditional SUVs can find this to be a nice medium, offering many of the features drivers love about SUVs in a compact body. It’s easy to maneuver and offers an excellent fuel economy of 26 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway. That also makes it a versatile vehicle that can be great for city life or for weekend road trips on open roads. Drivers who need something they can easily park in a metropolitan area, but that can also handle long trips should look into this option. It also has features to keep passengers happy, like rear cup holders for their beverages, backseat storage for everyone’s stuff, and six speakers to let everyone enjoy some tunes on the road. Best Mid-Size Chevy SUVs The 2022 Chevrolet Blazer The 2022 Chevrolet Blazer is an impressive vehicle to look at, both on the exterior and the interior. It has the aesthetic of a luxury vehicle with the utility of an SUV, making it perfect for a driver who needs an attractive car for professional events and a spacious one for family life. Those suffering from Goldielocks syndrome who find some of Chevy’s SUVs too massive and some too small might find that this one is just right. And while it isn’t a full-size, it does come with a towing package for those who want to take the camper or boat out for a weekend of adventure. What’s most surprising about this SUV is that it accelerates quickly and steers easily – both unexpected perks of vehicles in this class. It's rich with user-friendly technology, too, like a touchscreen boasting clear images, compatible Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an optional Bose sound system. The majority of the trims come standard with nine-speed automatic transmission and a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. In many ways, this option presents the power of larger SUVs and the technology of luxury cars in an easy-to-manage body size. The 2022 Chevrolet Traverse If, put simply, you need the capacity to lug around a lot of stuff, this is the Chevy SUV for you. With its 98.2 cubic feet of storage space, it’s ready for whatever your passengers need to put in it, and then some. Those wanting the famously comfortable interior of an SUV cabin will enjoy this option. It has seating for up to eight riders making it perfect for carpooling, a road trip with friends, or taking the kid’s soccer team out for pizza after the big game. Some might be surprised to know that, in spite of its size, this SUV also offers impressive acceleration. When it comes to safety, the 2022 version of this vehicle finally integrates many aids that were previously optional add-ons, so you don’t need to wonder whether or not it will have your back when hazards arise. This car is also ready for a little off-roading or journeys that might take you away from the beaten path, thanks to the four-wheel drive that comes standard on all trims and the optional all-wheel drive. Each trim also comes standard with a 3.6-liter V6 and nine-speed automatic transmission. Best Full-Size Chevy SUVs The 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe This fan-favorite offers that smooth, quiet, built-like-a-tank but comfy-as-a-cabin experience many want out of an SUV. One of the most spacious options available, this is one car that might finally put an end to arguments over legroom in the back rows. With a diesel option and exceptional towing capacities, it’s the right car for someone enthusiastic about that classic SUV life. Hitch your camper or boat to this thing and get out there. The Tahoe is ready for the challenge. One feature offered in the 2022 rendition that ups the user-friendly ante is the Google-based voice controls. These allow the driver to get important information about road conditions and weather without ever taking their hands off the wheel. The 10.2-inch infotainment system is another feature to write home about. It makes it easy to see and navigate all of your favorite apps. With its ample door storage pockets and maximum 122.9 cubic feet of storage space, it offers a place for everyone to put their creature comforts for a long ride. The 2022 Chevrolet Suburban The Suburban is arguably one of the most impressive SUVs offered by Chevrolet, and its 2022 rendition pulled out all the stops on upgrades to the interior and exterior. It has an available Duramax diesel engine for an incredible sense of power behind the wheel and an ultra-high riding position for great clearance and visibility. This is another choice that boasts incredible towing capabilities, so it’s ready for that RV life. Chevy has been recreating the Suburban for over a decade, and many would argue it just keeps getting better. It offers seating for up to nine passengers and has plenty of tech to keep the driver and riders happy, like a large touchscreen and a 10-speaker Bose sound system, as well as a wireless charging pad on most trims. A foldable third row makes this a versatile option that’s ready to take on many passengers or large gear. An SUV for Every Need While many think of SUVs and immediately envision some massive spaceship of a vehicle, Chevy actually offers a dynamic lineup of SUVs that prove there’s a lot more than meets the eye to these larger cars.
