The Battle of the Blaze: Comparing 2024’s Chevy Blazer and Trailblazer

The Chevy Blazer is one of the best-known SUVs from Chevrolet, with decades behind its popularity. The Trailblazer, on the other hand, has been around for half of the time but has racked up a number of awards and a devoted fanbase. If you’re looking for a Chevrolet SUV, which should you choose—the midsize 2024 Chevy Blazer or the subcompact 2024 Chevy Trailblazer? While there are many factors to take into consideration, here are four key areas to keep in mind. Both models are capable, stylish, and have excellent safety and technology features. The question is, which are the features that work best for you? Performance: Power or Fuel Economy? The Blazer comes with two engine options depending on the trim you choose. The 228-hp, 2.0L Turbo engine churns out 258 lb-ft of torque and comes standard on the 2LT, 3LT, and Premier trims. It gets an EPA-estimated 22 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway. A 3.6L V6 comes standard on the RS trim, unleashing 308 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque. This engine is an available option on the 3LT and Premier trims. The EPA estimates that the 3.6L V6 gets 19 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway. There are two engine options for the Trailblazer, too. The 1.2L EcoTec Turbo produces 137 hp with 162 lb-ft of torque. It comes standard in the LS and LT trims. Standard in the ACTIV and RS trims, the 1.3L EcoTec Turbo generates 155 hp and 174 lb-ft of torque. The LS and LT can opt for the 1.3L Turbo instead if desired. The 1.2L engine gets an EPA-estimated 29 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway, while the 1.3L engine will get an estimated 29 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the highway. The nine-speed automatic transmission supports five driving modes that help the Blazer navigate different terrains. The sport and tour modes come standard, while additional modes—snow/ice, tow/haul, and off-road—are available. The Trailblazer has three driving modes available when equipped with the 1.3L Turbo engine: normal, sport, and AWD. The Trailblazer equips a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) in the 1.2L Turbo and the 1.3L Turbo in FWD, whereas the 1.3L in AWD uses a nine-speed automatic transmission. Design: Colorful Options Abound The Chevy Blazer was first launched in 1969 with a long, boxy body and two-tone cap. Since then, it has gone through many style changes. The 2024 Blazer has a sleek body that compliments the sporty style that's remained a constant for the last five decades. The straight, minimal LED headlamps help balance a robust grille and front fascia. It comes in eight colors that include the brand-new Riptide Blue Metallic, which is a bright splash of pleasing oceanic blue. Five of these colors can have a black roof added for a pop of brilliant contrast. A final color option, Nitro Yellow Metallic, is only available on the RS trim with a black roof. There are four trim options to choose from in 2024. The 2LT trim has the option of a power-programmable liftgate to make opening and closing the back hatch as easy as pushing a button on your key fob. The 3LT trim adds some capability functions like a 120-volt power outlet and six-way power adjustment for the front passenger seat. The RS trim adds sporty black exterior accents, including black Chevy bowties and grille and lush, perforated leather seating. Finally, the Premier trim adds chrome trim and accents, plus features like a dual-outlet exhaust that has its bright tips integrated into the fascia. There are two style packages available that add some fun visual twists to the Blazer. The Redline Edition has 20-inch gloss black aluminum wheels with red accents, and all of the Blazer badges are outlined in red and have additional Redline decals. The grille, header bar, mirror caps, door handles, and Chevy bowties are done in black for a stark visual contrast when paired with Summit White, one of the two colors available. If you’re more for a monochromatic look, the other color option is black, which blends nicely with the Jet Black interior. The Midnight/Sport Edition embraces the monochromatic aesthetic, with everything done in black, from bumpers to bowties to the 18-inch high glass aluminum wheels. Both of these packages are only available in the 2LT and 3LT trims. Starting in 1999 as a high-end trim of the Blazer, the Trailblazer went on to forge a new trail as its own model in 2002. While it hasn’t gone through as many style changes as its progenitor, the Trailblazer has slowly evolved into a diminutive but sporty subcompact SUV. The Trailblazer has an elongated roof that offsets the stockiness of its body and draws the eye to the rounded back end. The 2024 model also has a restyled front end, grille, headlamps, and taillamps, and there are nine exterior color choices, including two new ones for 2024: the soft sage Cacti Green and the warm and spicy Copper Harbor Metallic. In addition, the ACTIV trim offers a contrasting roof in either Summit White or Iridescent Pearl Tricoat. In the RS trim, the roof options are Black Metallic or Crimson Metallic. The Chevy Trailblazer comes in four trim packages. The LS has a bright chrome bar grille bar and makes a good starter SUV with features like a keyless start and an 11.0-inch infotainment screen. Taking a step up with silver-painted roof rails, deep-tinted rear windows, and heated body-color outside rearview mirrors, the LT offers the same capability with a more stylish twist. The RS trim has EvoTex seating surfaces, red interior accents, and creature comforts such as heated front seats and steering wheel. The ACTIV trim aims at a bit more rugged lifestyle with a functional skid plate and a suspension tuned for off-roading. Technology: Trailblazer Edges Blazer The Blazer and Trailblazer share much of the same tech for 2024. Both models have compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to let you enjoy your favorite audio media on commutes and car trips. Wireless Bluetooth connectivity pairs nicely with the Chevy Infotainment 3 system that will allow you to make phone calls, control audio settings, and access apps on your phone while keeping your hands firmly on the steering wheel and your eyes on the road. Not many people will say no to having a Wi-Fi hotspot in their vehicle, and both the Blazer and the Trailblazer are happy to provide this capability to their drivers. One difference between the models is the touchscreen at the center of the infotainment system: the Blazer offers a 10.2-inch touchscreen, while the Trailblazer has an 11.0-inch touchscreen. Safety: Chevrolet Is the Real Winner Both models come standard with Chevy Safety Assist, a set of six features to help with safe driving. They include Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, which alerts you when you're about to drift from your lane and will gently guide your vehicle back into place. If the SUV detects an oncoming collision from the front, a Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking will alert you and engage the brakes if you do not have time to react. Front Pedestrian Braking can detect when a person walks in front of your car and will apply the brakes to avoid a collision. With Adaptive Cruise Control, you can relax on the highway knowing that your vehicle will keep you from following the car in front of you too closely and help you stay at the proper speed limit. Following Distance Indicator will also keep an eye on the vehicle ahead of you and alert you if the distance between drops. The IntelliBeam High Beam Assist will activate based on light conditions, the number of cars on the road, and the speed at which you’re traveling. Finally, the safety features aimed at teenage drivers help make sure the newest driver of your family is learning safe habits behind the wheel. It includes warnings and limiters to make sure the driver knows they are exceeding the speed limit and are unable to go more than 85 mph. The car will not start without the seatbelt being buckled via the Buckle-to-Drive feature. Along the same vein, the audio system will be set to mute unless the driver is buckled up. Distracted driving is the leading cause of accidents for young drivers. Audio Limit lets you set how high the volume on the sound system can go to cut down on distractions. Furthermore, the Vehicle Report Card will let you know how your teen driver is doing on the road after every drive. The Blazer vs Trailblazer: Who Wins? This is one of those comparisons where both contenders are of exceptional quality. On the one hand, that means we’ve had a chance to discuss two excellent SUVs, but on the other, we have to declare a winner—whichever one rises to the occasion the best. While the Trailblazer is a capable subcompact SUV for daily life and weekends spent out and about, the Blazer truly shines in the performance category with more available horsepower and torque. If off-roading or hauling is a big part of your work or hobbies, then the Blazer is the clear winner. In addition, while the Trailblazer gets better fuel efficiency, the Blazer’s 3.6L V6 engine offers a comparable amount of miles per gallon. The technology and safety offerings are nearly identical. While the Trailblazer has a larger touchscreen, it’s worth noting that the difference between the two models' screens is only a part of an inch, which isn't a significant amount for most drivers. The differences in design and color options are too subjective to add to the equation, though it is worth noting there are plenty of options in both models to get something that is exactly your style. When all of that is taken into consideration, the 2024 Chevy Blazer noses out the 2024 Chevy Trailblazer for its higher capability and performance.

Choosing Your Perfect SUV: 2024 Blazer vs 2024 Ford Edge

It’s easier than you think to find the perfect SUV. Both the Chevy Blazer and the Ford Edge are solid options, but you can’t buy both. If you’ve been shopping for a Chevy Blazer for sale, you’re sure to see the Ford Edge hanging out nearby. Both are similar in size and shape, but are they equal in all the ways that count? Buying an SUV is a big investment of both your time and money, so it’s important to ensure you get the right vehicle for your needs, and at a price that doesn't blow your budget. Is it possible to get everything you need on four wheels? Or will you have to compromise? Luckily for you, we’ve got your back. Choosing between a Chevy Blazer and a Ford Edge is as easy as considering a few factors like your lifestyle, driving habits, family needs, and personal preferences for things like tech and driver assistance features. Let’s check out how these sporty midsize SUVs compare and discover the one that'll fit you like a glove. Which SUV Is Your Style? Let’s keep things simple at first and check out the style of each, for while they look similar, on closer inspection, they each give off a unique vibe that might resonate with you or might not. The 2024 Chevy Blazer saw only minor updates this year to its already striking Camaro-inspired appearance. The Blazer is a sleek driving machine with modern lines urban dwellers and commuters will appreciate. The Blazer’s reputation as a bold ride makes it ideal for navigating tight city spaces, busy parking lots, and gridlock traffic. For those who prioritize modern style and responsive handling in a vehicle, the 2024 Blazer checks those boxes. The 2024 Ford Edge is much the same as in past years. It’s known to provide a comfortable ride that allows for a smooth and relaxing drive. For basic tech and comfort, drivers will enjoy the easy-going nature of the Ford midsize crossover. For Your Everyday Adventure? The Chevy Blazer is focused on providing exceptional performance. Coming standard is a 228-hp 2.0L Turbo matched with a nine-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is available to increase traction and control when you need it the most. For further flexibility, drivers can upgrade thanks to the available 308-hp 3.6L V6 engine, which is perfect for injecting a little extra thrill into your day. This V6 is standard on the RS trim or can be unlocked when you upgrade to either the 3LT or Premier trim. Drivers can control the performance of their vehicle by choosing one of five drive modes. Turn the dial to change between Tour, Snow/Ice, and available Tow/Haul mode. When getting a Blazer equipped with all-wheel drive, your options include Off-Road and 4WD modes. While the Blazer is technically made for off-roading anyway, the option of all-wheel drivetrain allows drivers to explore the Blazer’s performance potential and get increased confidence behind the wheel. The Ford Edge also offers a 250-hp 2.0L engine plus an option to upgrade to a sporty 335-hp 2.7L V6 for increased fun behind the wheel. To unlock the advanced V6, drivers can upgrade to the ST trim. An available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system can be had thanks to the additional Sport mode for increased performance when it comes to hugging curves or needing additional tracking when charting the road ahead. For urban adventure seekers, the Blazer offers a fun and thrilling ride. But for those looking to head out of town and maybe down a road less traveled, the Edge has plenty of power potential to make it worth your while. Which Interior Fits Your Life? Performance and style are important, but still, you need solid cargo space and seating. Both SUVs fall into the midsize class, offering seating for five with well-designed cabins that make loading up the family or loading work materials easier than ever. The 2024 Blazer offers ample cargo space with flexibility. 60/40 split rear seats fold flat so you can make use of every inch of space. Sliding rear seats make it simple for passengers and drivers alike to access the rear cargo space. Standard heated seats are a great extra perk that will take the chill out of your morning commute. It’s fair to say while the Blazer seems like the more balanced of the two vehicles, the Ford Edge has a little more cargo potential. The Blazer comes with a max cargo space of 64.2 cu.ft., and the Edge delivers 73.2 cu.ft. Maybe you won’t need the extra space, or maybe your life requires a little wiggle room. There’s only what works for you. Both vehicles deliver supportive and comfortable seating, keep things simple on the inside, and boast streamlined interiors that help drivers jump in and go. Which Tech Would Your Drive Prefer? In a world that requires constant connection, having a vehicle you can depend on to make your time behind the wheel easier and safer is essential for drivers across the board. With the 2024 Blazer, you can exhale a sigh of relief because—from connectivity to driver assistance tech—you’re covered bumper to bumper. Stay in the know with the Blazer thanks to the cabin’s perfectly-sized 10.2-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The easy-to-use screen makes connecting with your Blazer effortless. You can simplify your drive thanks to the Blazer’s wireless charging technology that lets you set your phone on the nearby charging pad and boost your battery while you focus on the road. The available Wi-Fi hotspot is capable of supporting up to seven devices at a time with high-speed connectivity. While the Voice Service lets you go hands-free and control vehicle features with your voice. As for the Ford Edge, drivers get a slightly larger 12.0-inch touchscreen. Drivers can sync their smartphones with either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto for a personalized user experience, and a Wi-Fi hotspot keeps you connected on the road; you can upgrade to a wireless phone charging dock, as well. As for safety, the 2024 Blazer is loaded thanks to the standard Chevy Safety Assist suite of six different technologies. For those who are safety conscious and seeking advanced driver assistance technology, you’ll get plenty of peace of mind in the 2024 Blazer. But following right on its heels, the 2024 Edge also comes standard with the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite, which includes its own six systems to keep you safe on the road. A look at a few key differences in similarities can help you make decisions when it comes to shopping for your next SUV. So keep in mind that the 2024 Blazer includes Front Pedestrian Braking while the Edge does not. Both SUVs do offer a lane-keeping system that prevents you from drifting outside of your lane if you’re distracted or tired during a long or mundane drive. They both also offer a form of intelligent high beams, which make night driving a little easier, and a rear vision camera for increased visibility at all times. The Blazer offers Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking in contrast to the Edge’s Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking. Despite the difference in names, both technologies work to help you avoid potential accidents and even apply the brakes if you cannot respond in time. One bit of tech that would appeal to families with young drivers is Chevy's Teen Driver, which comes standard. This system helps give parents peace of mind plus can assist their teens in developing safe driving habits. Parents can set levels for things like speed and stereo volume, and they can get an after-drive report card to see how their teen is doing and what they need to work on. Which SUV Is Best for You? We’ve done the groundwork, looking at the basics of both the 2024 Chevy Blazer and the 2024 Ford Edge, and while they seem to be on even footing some of the time, we think the Blazer is superior, offering the right balance of performance, comfort, and tech across the board. With the Blazer, it’s not too much, not too little; it’s just right. Sure, the Edge has a little more cargo room, but it’s basic when it comes to style. The Blazer is loaded with great tech and comfort features like a heated driver's seat. Overall, there is a lot to love about each of the SUVs, but the stylish Blazer just strikes all the right chords, whereas the Edge lacks the bold looks of the Chevy and goes for a more understated and traditional approach. Whether you’re a style-conscious driver or a comfort-focused one, each SUV does a great job of focusing on the driver’s needs. So how do you decide? Consider your performance requirements, style preferences, and lifestyle when deciding between the Chevy Blazer and the Ford Edge—or even better, get a hands-on experience when you take a test drive.

Comfort and Convenience Await Behind the Wheel of a Chevy Tahoe

Find a Tahoe for sale and get ready to enjoy a comfortable ride; it won’t be hard, we promise. The Tahoe is a full-size SUV with a lot to offer, making it a valuable investment for families and drivers looking for additional luxury. The Tahoe was released in the mid-1990s as family-friendly SUVs were becoming more in demand among buyers. The Tahoe set itself apart from others in its class thanks to its smart design that combined performance and comfort. Extra options for more creature comforts and luxurious touches for the spacious cabin made it perfect for families on the go or individuals looking for extra convenience for their everyday rides. Since its introduction, the Tahoe continues to keep it modern, with plenty of sportiness, spaciousness, and modern tech that pair well with its capabilities and engine options. Whether tackling rough weather or a rough patch in the road, the Tahoe offers endless conveniences for drivers who need an SUV that can roll with the punches. The Tahoe is currently in its fifth generation and keeps impressing drivers with a new platform, responsive driving, and user-friendly technology that makes driving and connecting with your Tahoe easy and fun. Drivers hoping for an SUV that keeps comfort and convenience in mind will find the Tahoe will exceed their expectations. Is it a luxury vehicle or a workhorse? We think a worthy SUV should be both and more. Check out some ways the Tahoe makes your day easier and more comfortable in all the ways that matter. Flexible in More Ways Than One The spaciousness of the Tahoe might not surprise you; after all, it's pretty big, so an airy cabin is almost a given. What you’ll appreciate about the Tahoe is its flexibility when it comes to seating configurations and cargo volume. Whether you have a growing family or unpredictable days, having a vehicle that is up for a challenge, or a last-minute passenger, is always good to have on hand. The Tahoe can seat seven, eight, and even up to nine passengers, depending on your seating configuration. Choose second-row bench seating for added space or captain's chairs for added comfort. For seating up to nine, you’ll need to pick up the LS trim model, which offers the additional option of a front-row bench seat. The seating is spacious for plenty of comfort across all three rows. The seats are especially supportive for the driver, who might need a little additional comfort during long road trips. For instance, the drivers can opt for an upscale trim level like the luxurious High Country to enjoy the available deluxe 12-way power driver and passenger seat, plus enjoy a standard heated steering wheel plus heated and ventilated front row seats for lots of comfort all year long. Available leather seating also adds a high-end touch to your everyday drive. The ability to fold seats flat or easily access the second and third rows makes the Tahoe popular among busy families. Split seating allows drivers to quickly expand the ample rear cargo hold for additional room when hauling bikes, gear, luggage, or work materials. Going Hands-Free If you want the latest advanced convenience feature from Chevy, you can’t overlook the available Super Cruise driver assist technology, which is winning over drivers left and right. Whether you’re taking a long trip or battling a mundane commute, Super Cruise makes highway driving more convenient than ever before. The available technology relieves the day's stress and lets you relax a little while Chevy takes the wheel. The system works on over 400,000 miles of roads throughout the USA and Canada, growing more every year. Super Cruise driver assistance technology is a partially automated driving system that is capable of delivering enhanced convenience for drivers. With a winning combination of Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assist, if you’re feeling the grind of the daily commute, let your Tahoe lend a helping hand while you enjoy the ride. Connect With the Tahoe in a Variety of Ways The Tahoe was designed to create an intuitive driving experience. Passengers are surrounded by the latest user-friendly tech that makes navigation, trailering, and streaming easier than ever. The available dual-mounted backseat 12.6-inch digital color touchscreens offer a host of clear and easy-to-use menus. Passengers can stream and connect during long trips in a way that suits them. Up front, the available 10.2-inch diagonal touchscreen features a Chevy Infotainment 3 System. Additions like Google Built-In plus a Wi-Fi connection increase ease of use and convenience. Drivers can seamlessly sync their smartphones to enjoy their favorite apps, playlists, audiobooks, and more. If you’re unfamiliar with Google Built-In, adding this tech to your Tahoe is a game changer. Google Built-In offers a simple way to connect with your vehicle, go hands-free, and personalize your experience. Drivers can use features like Google Assistant to set reminders, make calls, and even adjust their cabin temperature without taking their hands off the wheel. Google Maps keeps you up to date on driving conditions and can offer automatic rerouting to help you avoid traffic backups or construction. What’s more, drivers can use their front touchscreen to access their vehicle’s cameras, which means multiple views and increased confidence. The available Advanced Trailing System makes hitching up your cargo convenient and stress-free. Use the in-vehicle app to access Rear Trailer, Inside, Transparent Trailer, Picture-in-Picture views, and more. With the Tahoe, towing just got a lot easier! An Array of Trim Options The Tahoe is offered in a variety of trims, which makes it convenient when you’re trying to pick out your perfect level of performance and comfort. All levels offer upscale design and a selection of powerful Chevy engine options, but while some offer all the bells and whistles, others are fine-tuned for increased performance. So, which trim should you look for? Want the ultimate in comfort and convenience features? Want more than your average SUV? Then it sounds like you want the High Country trim. This is the top-tier, the crème de la crème of Tahoes. The High Country doesn’t just feature an efficient V8 engine and unbelievably smooth ride but distinct styling inside and out, with unique badging, leather upholstery, and lots of tech, all of which offer high levels of comfort and convenience for drivers. If you want it all, you want the High Country. Do you want plenty of comfort plus performance? The mid-level RST trim was designed for your next adventure. It offers a modern, sporty look and was made to impress thanks to its performance-tuned suspension system, which delivers responsive handling for drivers on or off-road. The sleek interior features black upholstery with striking red detailing. And if you want all the essential creature comforts of the Tahoe, the LT trim is one step above the entry-level LS but adds little extras like wireless charging and an inside rearview auto-dimming mirror, just to name a few. Total Comfort, Total Convenience, Totally Tahoe The Tahoe is all about you and making your drive better, so no matter which trim or extras you go for, there is one waiting to help make every drive better than the last. A wide selection of standard features plus available options to upgrade makes the Tahoe a popular vehicle for drivers who need a vehicle that keeps them comfortable and makes things easier.

Going Used? Go With Chevy

When considering used trucks for sale, you'll find that there are plenty to choose from. The used truck market is huge, offering drivers lots of choices for their dollar. But getting into the right one will depend on a variety of factors, including your daily driving habits, towing and hauling needs, plus personal preferences when it comes to comfort, tech, and style. With all these options at your disposal, where do you start? We recommend taking a look at a used Chevy. Let's Get Started When buying a used car, it's also important to keep in mind not just your wants or needs but things like the truck’s history, mileage, and overall condition. This can indicate what to expect of your truck and what it's capable of in the future. A truck with higher mileage may be available at a lower price, but when you take into account the extra maintenance it might need, you might find it better to invest in a slightly newer truck model or one with fewer miles on the odometer to get the level of performance or low-maintenance you want. Narrowing down your search to a brand like Chevy is a smart move. The automaker has a strong reputation for producing tough, long-lasting trucks that drivers can rely on in various situations. Over the years, Chevy has continued to refine and update their trucks to include some of the most advanced technology and top performance in the market. Researching some of the best-selling Chevy trucks is one way to ensure you get a used model that is capable of not just great things but little things like daily driving, hauling the family, and keeping you comfortable mile after mile. Let’s take a look at some of the best used Chevy truck models and what they have to offer drivers. The Long-Running Silverado Series The Silverado 1500 The best-selling model in the Silverado family is the Silverado 1500, and for good reason. The 1500 is a light-duty full-size truck that has a lot of potential. The Silverado 1500 was introduced in the late 1990s, so there is a lot of variety for drivers searching for a reliable used truck. It has undergone plenty of updates and refreshes over the decades to keep it competitive and fresh for drivers. Drivers should have no problem finding a used Silverado that offers them strong engines and performance options to take their truck from the pavement to off-road without slowing down. The Silverado was built for hard work, but it also was made to double as a family vehicle. Drivers can expect plenty of flexibility when they decide on this Chevy model. Multiple cab configurations, sizes, and bed lengths make it easy to ensure you have space for all the passengers and all the cargo you need. From daily errands to road trips, the Chevy truck offers efficient engine choices and a flexible interior, making it easy to fit the Silverado 1500 into your life. What Silverado models should you keep an eye out for when shopping for your next used truck? The fourth generation, which started in 2019, is the generation you want to watch out for regarding the most up-to-date features. The lightweight body, powerful engines, better fuel economy, and an overall smoother ride make the fourth generation of Silverado 1500s one not to be missed. Drivers can shave thousands off the original price when they get behind the wheel of a 2021 Silverado. Its powerful engine options make this year a capable hauler for work or recreation. The interior is spacious with ample head and leg room. Meanwhile, the latest technology allows drivers to connect with their vehicles and get the most out of what Chevy has to offer. Considering the noteworthy engines, the 2021 Silverado is a great value for drivers who want to get into a used truck that is capable of handling whatever the job calls for as it has the potential to tow upwards of 13,300 lbs. The Silverado 2500 HD & 3500 HD Need more power? The Silverado series also includes the 2500 and 3500 HD models. These models are capable of delivering industrial strength and performance for your most demanding work. From hauling trailers or towing heavy loads, picking up a used heavy-duty Silverado will give you a lot of power for your money. If you’re interested in a truck that offers you comfort and high performance, the 2018 Silverado 2500 HD often tops the list. It comes loaded with standard convenience features that make it easy to sync your smartphone and connect with your truck’s technology. You can go hands-free while accessing your favorite playlists, apps, and navigation system. The Midsize Colorado If you don’t need the space of a full-size truck but still want the power, a pre-owned Chevy Colorado is a great place to start looking. This midsize truck was first added to the Chevy lineup in the early 2000s before taking a brief hiatus. We saw it reintroduced in 2015, and now it's better than ever. Drivers who don’t need a full-sized truck but still have some big jobs to do will appreciate the mighty power of the midsize truck. It's perfect for urban driving, and its small stature makes it fuel-efficient and parking garage-friendly. What we love about the Colorado is its flexibility. It works well for drivers who want a strong little truck that can also be equipped to handle some rough and tumble off-road fun. This is perfect for those who like to get into nature and know their truck will get them home again by Monday. The 2019 and 2020 are models that will give drivers a lot of bang for their buck. We’re talking about the latest technology, a comfortable cabin, and efficient engine choices that give the Colorado that noteworthy performance potential drivers love. Get the Right Fit With Chevy There are lots of used trucks to choose from, but Chevy is one of the best. It offers drivers plenty of durability and performance, all at a price that works. Whether you’re searching for a family vehicle, a work truck, or an off-roader (or maybe all three), it is possible to get the right truck for the job without having to cut corners. A pre-owned Chevy truck can be had in the light-duty Silverado 1500, a best-selling model and favorite of truck drivers across the country. Or maybe you’re hoping for more power; then a used Silverado HD will offer unbeatable value and industrial performance for all of your biggest jobs. We love that the midsize Colorado isn’t only affordable but offers the strength of a larger truck, all in a compact size that’s perfect for everyday use. There are clear advantages to buying a used vehicle from a brand like Chevy. Their trucks are not only practical but powerful, making them a force to be reckoned with in the used truck market. Looking for a truck that fits your lifestyle and not the other way around? Save time and shop Chevy to see for yourself what truck drivers across the nation already know. When you are ready to see these models for yourself, visit us at North Park Chevrolet in Castroville, TX.

The Ten Available Camera Views of the Chevy Colorado

If we had to choose one word to describe what our customers want today in their vehicles, it would be this: information. Drivers want to know what’s happening in their vehicle, around their vehicle, beneath their vehicle, under the hood, and so much more. All of our customers look for features that keep them informed about essential stats and data, but our truck-driving customers, in particular, show an interest in these features. That makes sense because pickups often work hard, endure stress, traverse rough terrain, and get pushed to their limits; being fully informed about what’s happening around their trucks can prevent major incidents. We’ve had many drivers ask us specifically which Chevy trucks for sale boast the most impressive camera systems. A pickup truck has a lot of body to see around with your own two eyes, and most drivers thus want extra assistance monitoring what’s happening around them. When we're asked this question, and our customers are looking for a quality midsize truck, we point them to the Chevy Colorado. The 2023 model, in particular, is a fun one to check out because that’s the year that saw the segment's first available underbody camera boasting two thrilling off-road views. These, however, are just two of the total ten camera views that Colorado drivers can enjoy. Here’s a look at each one and how they’re useful… Two Hitch Views for Better Trailering Control No matter how long you’ve been towing with your pickup, attaching a trailer to a hitch can always be a little tricky. However, since the Colorado can tow up to 7,700 lbs, it's unlikely you'll pass up the opportunity to tow with this marvelous midsize pickup. Two hitch views help you be more in command when trailering. In fact, they can start doing so when you’re simply attaching your trailer to your hitch. One camera view shows you the hitch connection point, which is useful when you’re reversing your truck toward your trailer and you want to ensure you line up that hitch to the connection at the trailer just right. Without this handy camera view, you’re limited to taking your best guess, hopping out of the truck, and running around to check with your own two eyes—and you might have to correct the position over and over again in this fashion. Drivers can even use the hitch guidance along with the hitch view. When you’re in reverse, you’ll see a centered guideline that shows you exactly how to maneuver your truck to line it up perfectly with the trailer. In addition to the hitch view, there’s a hitch surround view, giving you a comprehensive look at what’s happening around your rear as you reverse toward your trailer. If your work or regular activities require you to connect a trailer to a hitch, you’ll love how easy these camera views make that otherwise arduous task. Front Grille View One of the great things about driving a pickup is its enhanced driving height. Being able to see over the majority of cars on the road and far into the distance helps you know what’s to come. However, what you don’t see is what’s happening at the grille level of your truck—and that’s why the 2023 Colorado has a front grille camera view. The front grille camera view can be useful when you’re working your way into parking spots, as it can show you when you’re too close to the vehicle in front of you. When off-roading, it can show you if obstacles pop up on the road that are too low for you to see but certainly high enough that the bottom of your truck wouldn’t clear them. Five Parking Views Tight parking jobs can be perilous no matter what vehicle you drive, but they become even more challenging the larger your vehicle is. Many truck drivers are all too familiar with how long it takes to park their pickup in tight spots; you can use all the human spotters you can find, and it sometimes requires several friends standing on the sidewalk, guiding you to the spot. With the 2023 Colorado, your buddies can stay in the cab for the parking job because you get five parking views. You get one rear camera view, which can help you get the angle just right when reversing into spots. It will also notify you when you’ve gotten too close to the vehicle behind you and must come to a stop. You’ll also get grid lines, which will further help you back perfectly into place. (Your front view will give you grid lines, too.) A front top-down view and a rear top-down view give you a bird's eye look at how your parking job is going. So, if you’re wondering whether you parked too far from the curb or are perhaps rudely close to the vehicle in front of you, check out these views to confirm. A front-side view and rear-side view let you check out these precarious areas when parking, too, so you can take a closer look to see if you’ve parked within the lines or are nearly bumping up against a curb. Your parking jobs can go a touch more smoothly with these helpful five parking views. Two Available Off-Road Performance Views The off-road-ready ZR2 and Z71 trims have two available off-road performance views, thanks to their segment-first underbody cameras offering real-time forward and rear-facing views. These cameras can boost the fun factor in off-road environments, giving you an invigorating look at your truck when traversing boulder-littered ground, kicking up dust in its wake. The underbody cameras can also help keep your vehicle safe when off-roading; they give you a chance to see beneath your truck and know if you’re going over debris that’s kicking up in the underbody too much, so you can adjust your course if necessary. You’ll also get a look at the angle of your tires and axle proximity to the ground and gain other useful information when navigating irregular terrain. Check Out the 2023 Chevy Colorado at North Park Chevrolet Visit us to check out the 2023 Colorado for yourself. We’d love to get in the cab with you and walk you through how to toggle through the various camera views. We encourage you to go for a test drive to experience how the camera views enhance your drive in real-time. When drivers tell us they want one of the best camera systems available for a safer and more in-command truck driving experience, we proudly show them the 2023 Colorado. We have the Colorado—with all of its trims—arriving every day in spades. We’d be happy to hear what you need a truck for and help you determine the best trim for you. Our team consists of Chevy experts who can walk you through the unique perks of each trim. When you’re ready to make a purchase, our finance team is here to help you identify the ideal financing plan for your budget and lifestyle. From trailering to hauling to off-roading, everything is better in a truck that has an advanced camera system. We’re impressed with the Colorado’s ten available camera views, and we think you will be, too.

Ride High in the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country

Automakers always pick interesting names for their vehicles. Some are inspired by animals, others by ships or planes; a number of brands just use random letters or numbers, while others just make up words, kind of like a Dr. Seuss or Roald Dahl book. Meanwhile, Chevrolet seems to take inspiration from movies. The "Silverado" started as a trim level on Chevy's C/K truck, but it was also the name of a popular 1985 Western starring Kevin Costner. So, it's no surprise that the top trim on the 2024 Silverado 1500 is the High Country, which seems to have been inspired in part by Ride the High Country, a popular western from the early 1960s starring Randolph Scott and Joel McCrea. You'll probably feel like you’re starring in your own modern western when you roll out of North Park Chevrolet—your dedicated Chevy Silverado 1500 dealer —behind the wheel of a brand new 2024 High Country; this is because the High Country combines the performance and capability you want in a truck with the comfort and convenience features you desire from a modern vehicle. At North Park Chevrolet, we are proud to offer the entire Chevy lineup, so come by today and let our team show you why your next truck should be a 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country. Powerful Powertrains One thing that helps set the Silverado 1500 High Country apart from other top trims on full-size trucks is its powertrain. Chevy literally puts you in the driver’s seat when designing the performance of your truck, and the 2024 Silverado 1500 High Country features a 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 with a ten-speed automatic transmission, able to produce up to 355 hp at 5600 RPM and 383 lb-ft of torque at 4100 RPM, which makes this truck able to tow up to 11,300 lbs or haul 2,180 lbs. If you want to boost the performance of your High Country, Chevy gives you a choice of two other powertrains. The 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8 comes with a ten-speed automatic transmission and is available only on models with four-wheel drive; it delivers a staggering 420 hp at 5600 RPM and 460 lb-ft of torque at 4100 RPM. When you equip your Silverado 1500 with this engine, you increase your capability to 13,300 lbs of trailering and 1,980 lbs of payload. The other optional engine is a 3.0-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel I-6 paired with a ten-speed automatic transmission, and it can deliver up to 305 hp at 3750 RPM and 495 lb-ft of torque at 1500 RPM. That is the most torque available on any 2024 Silverado 1500. As a result, if you choose this engine for your High Country, you can tow up to 13,300 lbs and carry up to 1,970 lbs of cargo. Ride in Style The High Country is the epitome of form and function working together. Not only does the exterior look stylish, but it also helps your Silverado 1500 to deliver improved performance and capability. For example, the High Country rides on a set of 20-inch machined aluminum wheels fitted with 20-inch all-terrain tires; these look sporty while giving you the grip you need if you decide to take your High Country off-road. Other exterior features work in a similar fashion. The High Country features six-inch chrome rectangular wheel-to-wheel assist steps, which make it easier for you and your passengers to get in and out of your truck. These are power-retractable to protect them while your truck is in motion. The front and rear bumpers are given the same body color as the truck, as are the mirror caps, which gives the High Country a cohesive look. The driver’s side mirror is heated and has an auto-dimming feature to reduce glare from other vehicles’ headlights. These mirrors are also power-folding, so they won’t get damaged when you leave your Silverado 1500 High Country in a busy parking lot. Even though this trim has many luxury features, Chevy hasn’t forgotten why you want a truck instead of a sedan or SUV—and this is proven by the standard features on the High Country’s payload bed. The Chevytec spray-on bedliner provides a non-skid surface that protects the payload bed with a watertight seal, while its surface reduces the risk of your cargo shifting while you're driving. Accessing the payload bed is also easier with the standard Power Up and Down Tailgate, which opens and closes with the touch of the High Country’s key fob. The Multi-Flex tailgate—with its six unique functions—is an amazing option available for the 2024 Silverado 1500 High Country. The Lap of Luxury While the outside of the High Country is rugged and tough, the interior provides unequaled comfort and convenience. When you open the doors to the standard crew cab on the High Country, you are greeted by an interior that has authentic open-pore wood trimming—not the plastic or wood decals you see on other trucks. This is actual wood trimming fitted to the interior, giving a beautiful counterpoint to the carpeted floor coverings and the premium leather seats. In front are a pair of bucket seats, while the up-level rear seat has room for three more passengers and under-seat storage space. The premium leather seats boast custom perforations and a unique stitching pattern—and they are as comfortable as they look. The leather-wrapped steering wheel, front seats, and rear outboard seats are all heated. These will come in handy on cold mornings. The driver and front passenger seats are also ventilated, providing three different fan settings operated via the truck’s climate control panel. This ventilation is designed to increase comfort on warm days. Chevy has equipped the 2024 Silverado 1500 High Country with the latest technology. The Chevrolet Infotainment 3 Premium System features a 13.4-inch touchscreen and includes Google built-in, which allows you to easily access Google's familiar tools. You can easily pair your smartphone to the infotainment system using Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto—all of which are wireless, so you don’t have to worry if you left your charging cables at home. Connecting your phone allows you to make hands-free calls and texts, access your favorite apps, and stream your favorite music. The High Country features a Bose Premium Sound System that strategically places seven speakers throughout the crew cab and includes a Richbass woofer. Whether you are listening to the radio, streaming music from your smartphone, or tuning into programming on SiriusXM, you will have no problem providing a soundtrack for your next trip. This truck also helps you and your passengers stay connected. It features Wi-Fi hotspot capability, as well as a wireless charging pad in the center console. The High Country also has six USB charging ports: a pair on the front instrument panel, another on the center console, and a final pair in the rear console. The large screen on the infotainment system also comes in handy for other purposes. There are up to eight cameras on the High Country, which afford you up to 14 different views around the truck; this includes a Bed View Camera inside the payload bed, HD Surround Vision to see the areas around your truck, and Hitch View to help line up your hitch to your trailer. The Rear Trailer View and Transparent Trailer are available as well. These make it safer and easier to drive when you are towing a large trailer that may obstruct your view. Ascend to the High Country If you are looking for a truck that truly has it all, then the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country is the one for you. Its crew cab design and countless standard comfort and convenience features make it ideal for use as a family vehicle. At the same time, its power and capability allow you to use your High Country for towing and hauling, which can come in handy for some of your toughest jobs. This is why—if you want the best of both worlds—you should head to North Park Chevrolet for a 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country!

The Eight Special Editions & Packages of the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500

There are a lot of reasons to love the Silverado 1500, like how reliable it is, how powerful it is, and how safe it is. One of the best things about this full-size pickup, however, has to be its incredible configurability. At its core, the Silverado 1500 is a work-ready pickup with impressive towing and payload abilities and terrific standard driver assistance features—and we love to show our customers looking for a Chevy Silverado 1500 for sale all of the ways they'll have the freedom to build upon that core. You have the power to hand-pick just about every element of your Silverado 1500—not just because of its different engine options, bed and cab combinations, and trims (though there are a lot of those) but because of the incredible packages and special editions available across the lineup. Chevy understands that many people—from all walks of life and with all sorts of interests—can appreciate the reliable and well-priced Silverado 1500. That’s why they have designed such diverse and thoughtful special editions and packages, each one filled with features that enhance the driving experience in a range of environments and when tackling a variety of tasks. We want to ensure everyone visiting us at North Park Chevrolet has all the information they need to build their perfect Silverado. With that said, here is a look at the eight packages and special editions available for the 2024 model year… For Those Who Take the Road Less Traveled The Z71 Off-Road Package There are a handful of packages and special editions that are perfect for avid off-roaders or those who need to work in muddy, messy environments away from the predictability of paved streets. Let’s kick things off with the Z71 Off-Road package, which is also available on the Colorado, Suburban, and Tahoe—not only the Silverado 1500—simply because drivers love it so much. If you want a Silverado 1500 that can go with you to unpredictable terrain and bring you back in one piece so you can share stories about your adventures, check out this package. The Z71 Off-Road Package gets an automatic locking rear differential that can nearly instantly respond to a loss of traction. It also has protective elements to keep you and your truck from getting banged up in extreme environments, like a metal underbody shield and twin-tube Rancho shocks for better handling and control. If you know you’ll be kicking up a lot of dust with the included all-terrain tires, you’ll like the heavy-duty air filter in this package. If you’re a serious off-roader, the Z71 Off-Road Package is probably for you. The ZR2 Bison Edition The ZR2 Bison Edition is available on the off-road-ready ZR2 trim and takes the ruggedness up a few notches. It gets a 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine, which combines fantastic capabilities with impressive fuel economy. Drivers can alternatively opt for the available 6.2L V8 if they love the classic roar of a V8. The ZR2 packs some stylistic punch, too, with American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) branded floor liners and head restraints, as well as an AEV box side outer decal. Plus, it gets gloss black 18-inch AEV wheels and a black finish on the versatile Multi-Flex tailgate. In addition to turning heads, the ZR2 Bison Edition can also keep your truck’s critical components safe and get you out of tricky situations. It has skid plates on the transfer case and fuel tank, along with AEV Bison front and rear bumpers. Front tow hooks mean a friend can pull you out of a rut, and rocker protection safeguards against tiny rocks, debris, sand, and other particles that could mess up the running board. For Those Who Must Move Mountains The Protection Package Working your truck hard doesn’t have to mean letting it get all dinged up and damaged. That’s why we like to show our most industrious customers the Protection Package, which will help you prolong the life of several components of your Silverado 1500. Wheelhouse liners protect rocks and similar debris from getting into the wheel and damaging it through scratches, dings, or rust. Next, the Chevytec spray-on bedliner can protect the bed from damage—particularly from heavy cargo. If you plan on transporting lots of sharp tools or equipment, we highly recommend getting this package. You’ll also get front and rear floor liners to further sustain your pickup. The Trailering Package If you plan on taking advantage of the Silverado 1500’s excellent towing capabilities on a regular basis, we cannot recommend this package enough. It will help keep you and others on the road safe as you’re trailering. The Trailering Package gets a trailer hitch with both seven- and four-pin connectors, which deliver the power from your truck to your trailer, enabling your trailer to use things like turn signals, brake lights, and reverse lights. Being able to do this makes it easier for you to communicate with other vehicles on the road when trailering. For Those With a Thirst for Aesthetic The Redline Edition Chevy created several special editions for the 2024 Silverado 1500 that let drivers show their personalities and build a pickup that’s right for their respective environments. The Redline Edition has a sporty and energetic look, with a focus on strategically placed red and black accents. You’ll find pops of vibrant red on the rearview mirrors, tow hooks, wheels, tailgate, and fender. Then, you get black door handles, assist steps, and exhaust outlets. The Redline is a fun edition we like to recommend to drivers who want to stand out from the crowd. The Midnight Edition If you want a vehicle that's dripping with coolness while offering some off-road perks, look at the Midnight Edition. Recently available on the High Country trim, the Midnight Edition incorporates the Black Appearance Package, getting black recovery hooks, a black bumper, a black bed decal, and a black grille and exhaust tips. The Multi-Flex tailgate also gets a unique black finish on this edition. The Midnight Edition has a two-inch factory lift when paired with the Z71 off-road package, so you can have a vehicle that looks right at home in the city but is ready to break free when you are. The Mudd terrain tires can help with that, too, and high-intensity LED headlamps will light your way in wilderness environments where there is no manmade illumination. The Realtree Edition If you’re a country boy (or girl) through and through, you’ll love the camo-themed Realtree edition. Available on the Custom Trail Boss, your Silverado 1500 will get camo graphics all over, including the hood, tailgate, bed, and interior. You also get the protective Chevytec spray-on bedliner, but this one has a Realtree logo. Ready for some off-road exploring, the Realtree gets Goodyear Wrangler Territory mud tires along with recovery hooks. It’s an exciting combination of rugged looks and truly rugged capabilities. The Rally Edition City slickers looking for something that will fit in in urban environments can check out the Rally Edition. It has unique black badging and bowtie emblems, along with eye-catching tailgate lettering and black exhaust tips. Twenty-inch high-glass black-painted aluminum wheels come standard, but you can opt for 22-inch ones; you'll also find black tubular assist steps to help you and your passengers get in and out with ease and in style.

Tahoe, Traverse, or Suburban: Which Pre-Owned SUV Would You Prefer?

If you've been looking into buying a great pre-owned SUV, you've probably heard a thing or two about Chevrolet's impressive lineup. Three of this SUV family's most popular models are the Tahoe, Traverse, and Suburban, each of which gives their owners some seriously spacious interiors, potently powerful engines, and a slew of desirable features that make life on the go a whole lot easier. The SUV you opt for will ultimately be owed to its unique characteristics, favoring the minutiae of one over the others. Here at North Park Chevrolet, we're dedicated to helping you make the most informed decision possible; we have these used SUVs for sale and know how they can change your life. That being said, let's jump in and explore the unique elements of the ever-popular and always-reliable Chevy Tahoe, Traverse, and Suburban... The Chevy Tahoe: Large and In-Charge As a steadfast member of the full-size SUV segment, the Chevy Tahoe has acquired quite a reputation for its extensive versatility and good looks. This SUV comfortably seats up to eight passengers, which is why it is a popular choice among large families and those who often hit the road with big groups. Everyone can enjoy having plenty of leg and head space inside this model's cavernous cabin, even during lengthy jaunts. The Chevy Tahoe comes fitted with a slew of features designed to elevate your driving experience. The Tahoe's touchscreen infotainment system helps you stay connected by integrating your smartphone (via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) and showcasing its navigation capabilities. At the same time, its standard suite of advanced safety features provides peace of mind as you go about your day. If towing is important to you, know that the Tahoe can hitch up and haul trailers with ease, making it an excellent companion on your outdoor excursions. The Chevy Tahoe usually sports a robust V8 engine beneath its well-sculpted hood, which serves up an abundance of power and towing capacity. This potent engine reinforces the idea that you'll have no problem hauling heavy loads, which is why it appeals greatly to those who need a solid workhorse or something that can handle a trailer, camper, or boat. So, who should consider the Chevy Tahoe? This is an SUV that we recommend for families needing a lot of cargo and passenger space, as well as for outdoor fanatics who need a lot of towing capacity. It is also a great fit for drivers needing a blend of advanced features, creature comforts, and athleticism. The Chevy Traverse: Midsize With Maximum Comfort As a midsize SUV, the Chevy Traverse stands apart from the competition since it epitomizes spaciousness and interior comfort. If you need a reliable and refined SUV that gives you enough room for people and cargo, the Traverse—which can come with three rows and seat up to eight—makes it so that each occupant can relish a smooth and cozy ride, whether you're taking a short trip to the grocery store or a long road trip across the country. A key component of the Traverse is its cargo capacity. When you leave all your seats up, there is plenty of room for sports equipment, groceries, and luggage. When you fold the rear seats down, you get more space—so much space, in fact, that it rivals what you get in some larger SUVs. Chevy equips the Traverse with numerous family-friendly features, from a user-oriented infotainment system to an optional rear-seat entertainment system. What's more, you get a large assortment of driver assistance features as standard. You can keep the kids entertained on long road trips and use Chevy's best safety gadgets to help you through your daily commute. The Chevy Traverse delivers a solid amount of power from its standard V6 engine, which is known for delivering great fuel efficiency and a smooth ride that'll get you through all kinds of driving scenarios. It is perfectly practical for everyday drivers who need to commute in and around Castroville. Those who should consider the Traverse include solo travelers who need a lot of cargo space for toting bigger or more numerous items, parents who want family-oriented tech and safety features, and those who crave something comfy for their daily drives or their road trips. The Chevy Suburban: Extraordinary Space and Towing Prowess As Chevy's biggest and most commodious SUV, the Suburban offers immense towing prowess and cabin and cargo space. This vehicle has unparalleled interior capacity, making the Suburban the go-to choice for large families hungering for extra space and seating options. As it can seat up to nine, there is room for everyone—family, friends, a dog or two. You can also drop a ton of luggage or camping equipment in its rear cargo area. The Suburban goes beyond just being cavernous, though; it oozes luxury, with an abundance of features like heated seats, available leather upholstery, and a number of in-cabin amenities that make life on the road easier and more relaxing. The Suburban surpasses many top rivals when it comes to cargo volume. You can fold the third-row seats down flat, which helps create more space for transporting big and bulky items. You also get a massive towing capacity from the Chevy Suburban, which is capable of hauling boats, trailers, and RVs. With a selection of advanced infotainment systems and an abundance of high-tech safety gadgets, Chevy outfits the Suburban with all of the modern features you would expect to find on a premium automobile. You get a surplus of standard features with a good number of options left to choose from if you want to improve your ride just a hair more. The Chevy Suburban is an ideal vehicle for buyers wanting a well-appointed and comfortable large SUV. It is a traveler's best friend since it can tow heavy loads and conceal bulky ones. Also, large families benefit from its generous seating capacity and abundant cargo space.

7 Awesome Changes for Chevy's 2024 Lineup

Lots of new content has been made available for Chevy's 2024 lineup of cars, trucks, and SUVs; you have a healthy buffet of new updates to existing trims, all-new trims for popular nameplates, and all-new models hitting the market. Before you visit North Park Chevrolet—your premier Boerne Chevy dealer —to buy something fresh and new, we recommend you brush up on a few of the savvy modifications to the 2024 lineup... #7) The 1500 WT's New Connectivity The Chevy Silverado 1500 is one of the most popular vehicles in the US. Year in and year out, this pickup moves tens of thousands of units, and one of the most popular trims for the Silverado 1500 is the base WT, given that many people purchase their pickup for fundamental work-related functionality and utility. The 2024 model year has seen an update in the form of the WT trim now having OnStar support and wireless integration for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard features. It's important to note that the Silverado 1500 has had wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support for years, but the WT trim was relegated to wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. With the standard inclusion of wireless support, it now means that you don't have to plug in cables to use your smartphone's media, nav, or messaging apps. You can now wirelessly pair your smart device to the Silverado 1500 WT, giving it more upscale capabilities even as a base trim. #6) The Blazer EV The alternative fuel push by Chevy has resulted in a number of existing nameplates getting an overhaul with new ways to refuel or recharge. One of these is the Blazer EV, whose gas-powered foundation was already one of the most futuristic-looking vehicles in Chevy's lineup. Turning it into an EV seems like a no-brainer, given that the Blazer was built to lure in those looking for a highly modern SUV. Boerne drivers who want to stand out will keep their eye on this new midsize electric vehicle. The Blazer EV maintains the same trendy energy as the standard Blazer but with a lot of EV-centric features, such as the solid body panel across the front fascia and new two-tone accents on the exterior. The Blazer EV is a great midsize alternative option for those looking for an alternative fuel vehicle, and it sports a range of up to 320 miles on a full charge. There's also more than just an economy-SUV element to the Blazer EV, with its multiple drivetrain options in the form of front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive; these give options for those who want a sports-themed EV with rear-wheel drive or some off-road traversal with all-wheel drive. #5) The Trailblazer's New Infotainment Keeping in line with the new standard infotainment update for the Silverado 1500 WT, the 2024 Chevy Trailblazer delivers a new infotainment experience with a much larger digital driver display and touchscreen; this gives the owners of the subcompact SUV a lot more functionality and versatility compared to the previous outing. You now have an 8.0-inch digital driver display for the Trailblazer, enabling you to customize the profiles and study your vehicle health telemetry. Additionally, the Trailblazer's HD touchscreen has been upgraded from the 7.0- and 8.0-inch offerings to an 11.0-inch touchscreen; this makes it easier to access apps on the system, get better visualization feedback, and see things like points of interest or pins through the navigation display—which is always a good thing—making it easier than ever to venture through the backroads around Boerne. #4) The Equinox EV Another popular nameplate getting the all-electric treatment is the Equinox EV, which turns the popular compact SUV into a battery-powered transport. The Equinox EV is a great alternative for those looking for a small travel, work, or family vehicle that doesn't depend on gas. If you're into short daily errands in Boerne, then the Equinox EV is a good cruising option. It features a much more distinct look than the traditional version, with a visually different set of colors and accents that give the Equinox EV a unique look compared to other compact crossovers on the market. The interior of the Equinox EV features a robust digital infotainment suite, featuring a large digital driver display and a 17.7-inch touchscreen with wireless integration for smart devices and user-friendly navigation and media apps. With available features like a moonroof, presence-based liftgate, and the myChevrolet app for easily finding charging stations, the Equinox EV is a robust entry in the compact SUV segment. #3) The Silverado HD ZR2 One of the newest additions to the Silverado HD lineup is the ZR2 trim, which was originally released for the Silverado 1500 in the 2022 model year. The popularity of this trim was undeniable, and Chevy wisely decided to add the ZR2 to the heavy-duty variants of their flagship pickup, the Silverado 2500 HD and Silverado 3500 HD. This means you get all of the awesome features of the ZR2 but in a heavy-duty truck with huge amounts of trailering and payload capacity. Having all of these awesome features for tackling utility-focused functions, but with the benefit of traversing off-road with those utility-focused functions, gives you a lot of opportunities to venture outside Boerne and hit up some off-road trails. So you can tow more, trailer more, or haul more, all while getting the benefits of the ZR2, which includes improved ground clearance, skid plates, Multimatic's DSSV dampers, and front and rear electronically locking differentials; these combined with the Multi-Flex tailgate, make the Silverado HD ZR2 so much more effective and versatile for all kinds of truckers. #2) The Corvette E-Ray Yet another significant change for 2024 is the reinvigorated Corvette. Coming off the highly popular and well-received mid-engine Corvette C8, Chevy has an alternative to the expertly engineered LT2 engine in the form of a hybrid design, which gives you a completely overhauled performance profile for taking advantage of the battery-powered efficiency of an electric motor, with the top-end performance and reliability of the LT2 small block V8. This is basically a best-of-all-worlds scenario for potential Corvette shoppers in Boerne, as you can reap the instantaneous torque provided by the electric motor but with the added performance and horsepower of the LT2 V8. This makes for an exciting new driving experience with the Corvette E-Ray's electric all-wheel drive system, known as eAWD. The Corvette E-Ray is a unique entry in this long-running nameplate, and with features like "stealth mode" and magnetic ride control, you have a fast, responsive, easy-to-handle supercar under your control. #1) The Silverado EV Rounding out some of the most awesome features available in 2024 is the new Chevy Silverado EV. The completely electrified version of this popular full-size, light-duty pickup ushers in an entirely new trucking experience; it adds an all-new way to travel inside and outside of Boerne, all-new ways to engage with your ride, and all-new functionality for both leisure- and utility-focused truckers. The Silverado EV offers up to 450 miles of range on a full charge, up to 10,000 lbs of towing capacity, and up to 754 hp and 785 lb-ft of torque. You also have frunk storage to supplement the bed box for hauling and carrying cargo. With four-wheel drive, the Multi-Flex Midgate, and an all-new 17.0-inch LCD freeform infotainment screen, the Silverado EV is aiming to be one of the most advanced electric vehicles on the market.

Six Reasons to Invest in a Chevy Silverado 1500

Driving a Chevy is like having a loyal companion by your side, so it's no wonder why so many drivers are drawn to the capable and commanding nature of the bowtie brand. With a vast selection of models to choose from, there's a Chevy for every type of driver out there. These powerful machines exude strength and confidence, allowing drivers to take control of the road during all of life's journeys—and the Chevy Silverado 1500 is a prime example of this, allowing drivers to take on more challenges than ever before. With impressive endurance, unmatched power, and exceptional comfort for all passengers, the Silverado 1500 is a truck that truly delivers. At North Park Chevrolet, we do everything we can to provide our community with the means to heighten their adventures and make the most of every journey. We do everything we can to make purchasing your next vehicle pleasant and efficient and ensure you'll be confident with your investment as you drive home. You'll not find a more experienced and eager Chevy dealer serving Uvalde, and we're always looking for the opportunity to set someone up with their dream vehicle. We always have a wide selection of Chevy trucks on our lot, especially regarding fantastic models like the Silverado 1500. From used models, which provide distinct styles and features you can't necessarily find these days, to the boldest and most innovative new iterations of the Silverado, you're sure to find the truck for you. The Chevy Silverado 1500 brings unprecedented power to the table that can make work easier and play more fun. As a lighter-weight pickup, the Silverado is a great place to start for first-time pickup owners. If you're trying to narrow the options for your next truck, here are a few reasons why you should look no further than the Chevy Silverado 1500… 1) Find Adventure Outdoors With plenty of under-the-hood power and features dedicated to increasing its handling and off-road capability, the Silverado 1500 is perfect for those looking to take their outdoor weekend to the next level. This pickup boasts a suspension tuned for a smooth ride on rougher terrain, so you can go off the beaten path comfortably. The 2023 Silverado 1500 comes standard with three drive modes that make the most of this truck's dynamic performance—Normal, Sport, and Off-Road—so you can use the Silverado 1500's power to the fullest. 2) A Practical Pickup for Practical Drivers One of the most impressive aspects of the Chevy Silverado 1500 is its versatility. Not many pickups of this caliber can balance fantastic power with efficiency, but the Silverado does, whether you're working on tough projects that only a pickup can handle or just going about daily tasks. The 2023 Silverado 1500 offers plenty of cargo space at 89.1 cu.ft. in its longest bed, so it can cart some pretty sizable equipment. The Silverado 1500 also bears a fuel economy rating that most other trucks of its weight class can't compete with. The 2023 iteration is the best example of this yet, able to achieve up to 24 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway with the Duramax Turbo-Diesel engine. 3) Get Work Done The Silverado 1500 may be classified as a light-duty truck, but that doesn't mean it can't help you get hard work done. With its standard 2.7L High-Output Turbo engine, the Silverado 1500 is capable of towing up to 9,500 lbs, and its payload capacity is rated at 2,260 lbs; this makes it a great truck for heavy-duty projects that require power and precision. For those who want to take on even more demanding jobs, the available 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine makes the Silverado 1500 capable of towing up to 11,300 lbs and carrying up to 2,140 lbs. The beefier 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 can tow 13,300 lbs and carry 1,980 lbs of payload, and the 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel matches this towing capacity with only a slightly smaller drop in payload (1,970 lbs) due to this engine's slightly higher weight counteracting how much extra its axles can bear. 4) Stellar Safety Features Modern trucks require advanced technology, and the Chevy Silverado 1500 is always fitted with user-friendly, intuitive tech—even in older models. Chevy has always been ahead of the game regarding safety technology, and the Silverado 1500 has plenty of high-caliber features available from the outset. This pickup boasts the Chevy Safety Assist suite of driver assistance features, which include Forward Collision Alert with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Front Pedestrian Braking, Following Distance Indicator, IntelliBeam High Beam Assist, and an HD Rear Vision Camera. These enhance your situational awareness, support your reaction time, and provide semi-autonomous aid when needed. 5) Convenient & Infotainment Tech With plenty of tech features that provide a slew of services, from keeping tabs on your vehicle to keeping you entertained, the Silverado is truly a modern pickup for modern drivers. Especially when you're driving with younger riders, tech features that can help pass the time on a long car ride are essential, and the Silverado 1500 delivers here. The 2023 model comes standard with a 13.4-inch infotainment system; drivers can access Apple CarPlay and Android Auto in a highly accessible and responsive manner. Whether you want to jam out to your favorite tunes or engross yourself in a podcast, this infotainment system makes it fast and fluid. With a 12.3-inch driver information center that helps you keep track of tire pressure, gas mileage, and much more, you always have the telemetry info you need at your fingertips. 6) Cheaper than the Competition The ultimate deciding factor when buying a new vehicle is the price tag. Sometimes, even when you find the perfect vehicle, the price tag might be a factor that holds you back from getting behind the wheel. Luckily, the Silverado 1500—like many Chevy vehicles—features a starting price tag that is highly competitive for a vehicle of its class and will set you back much less than its rivals. The 2023 Silverado 1500 starts with an MSRP of just over $36k, which is a highly competitive starting price for a pickup of this caliber. Competing models will set you back much more, such as the Ram 1500 or GMC Sierra, which start at just under $38k, and the Toyota Tundra, which starts at almost $40k. Chevy is committed to providing the most accessible vehicles possible, and the Silverado 1500 is no exception. Make the Chevy Silverado 1500 Your Next Pickup The Silverado 1500 has provided drivers with plenty of flair, power, and capability for every circumstance. Its versatility and dynamic performance make it a great pickup for those in the Uvalde area, with its nuanced topography.

Chevy Trailblazer or Trax? We Can Help You Decide

How do you choose between two vehicles that are equally compelling in terms of style, performance, and value? Chevrolet has produced some of the greatest and most popular SUVs in automotive history, and two of the best Chevy SUVs for sale today are the Trailblazer and Trax. And yet, these two models are more similar than anything else in Chevy's lineup—so what's distinct enough to warrant contemplation? The Trax and Trailblazer are Chevy's two entry-level SUVs, and their price reflects this, with both starting well under the coveted $25k mark. The 2024 Trax is the less costly of the two, with an MSRP of $20,400, and the Trailblazer costs about $1,700 more, with its base trim starting at $22,100. Aside from saving you upwards of $37,000 against Chevy's priciest SUV, the Suburban, if you're serious about your savings, the Trax and Trailblazer will also get you incredible fuel economy. But if they're both affordable and efficient, then what else differentiates them? Well, that's actually a big question... What's the Difference? We mentioned the Trailblazer has a higher starting price than the Trax because both vehicles are as different as they are similar. The first difference people often want to know about is whether the Trailblazer and Trax perform similarly enough to warrant two separate test drives. Performance is a double-edged sword for the Trailblazer because it begins as a comparable experience to the Trax, barring one exception: the transmission. The Trailblazer's base engine comes paired with a Continuously Variable Automatic Transmission (CVT), while the same-sized engine with identical horsepower and torque output in the Trax comes with a six-speed automatic transmission. But, if given the right configuration, the Trailblazer begins to spread its wings; it has a powertrain not available to the Trax in the turbocharged 1.3L I-3 engine. At a glance, this upgraded engine doesn't sound like much, given the turbocharged 1.2L I-3 engine it's replacing. However, with the new all-wheel drive (AWD) option, this stronger engine becomes more of an optimal solution for the average driver. Even if you're not an off-road person, having AWD can be invaluable in making it safer and easier to drive on roads wet from rain, sleet, ice, etc. The other benefit of an incrementally larger engine is better performance, which is the case with the turbocharged 1.3L I-3 engine and its 155 hp and 174 lb-ft of torque. It's a no-brainer to go with the larger engine if you can because of its better fuel economy, getting an EPA-estimated 33 MPG on the highway over the 31 MPG of the 1.2L I-3; both get an EPA-estimated 29 MPG in the city. Note, too, that AWD models don't come up short, with an EPA-estimated 26 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway. Before we discuss the similarities between the two, let's talk about one more difference: infotainment. The multimedia capabilities of every new vehicle are defined by its infotainment system. The Trax can be configured to offer an identical multimedia experience to the Trailblazer, but it doesn't come that way; many of the features are communal between the two vehicles, even in their base form, but the differences in infotainment centers have a lot to do with screen sizes. Buying a standard Trax means you're getting an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, although opting to upgrade slides this out for an 11.0-inch touchscreen. Contrarily, the Trailblazer gets the 11.0-incher as its standard. Spot the Similarity Both the Trax and Trailblazer come with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto—our favorite examples of how premium wireless tech has become more accessible in recent years. This level of connectivity between smartphones and automobiles might not mean much to some drivers, but what matters to everyone are ultramodern safety features. The Trax and Trailblazer both have Chevy Safety Assist, so when you're driving either SUV, you'll have Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, and Front Pedestrian Braking, along with Lane Keep Assist and Lane Departure Warning. Ever since Chevy's focus on safety shifted to its homemade sensing systems, the Chevy Safety Assist suite has been installed up and down the Chevy lineup. Regardless of a price difference of less than $2,000 between the Trax and Trailblazer, Chevy Safety Assist feels more surprising of an addition to the Trax; most automakers would restrict features as great as Chevy Safety Assist to not only be cost-effective but to force buyers to spring for an upgrade to get it, knowing that they very well will. Chevy, instead, lays it straight in their entry-level vehicles, thereby making this kind of tech ubiquitous for future generations. The other similarity between the Trax and Trailblazer that won't influence your decision is cargo space. Cargo space differs between the two, but the differences are so minute that they may as well be considered identical. The 2024 Trax has 25.6 cu.ft. of cargo space with the backseat up and 54.1 cu.ft. when folded down. Again, spending the extra $1,700 doesn't mean you're getting any real differences, as the 2024 Trailblazer has cargo space ranging between 25.3 cu.ft. and 54.4 cu.ft. with comparable seat configurations. These two SUVs are some of the most space-efficient subcompact models on the market, with a 111% and 115% increase in space when folding down the backseat—for the Trax and Trailblazer, respectively—and those are some serious numbers for subcompacts. Key Comparisons You should care about the similarities between the Trailblazer and the Trax because they help inform your decision unlike any other. The Trailblazer and Trax are separated by a few things—better infotainment interface, extra powertrain option, etcetera—but these vehicles are much more than that. If you're on the fence between the two, looking only at the similarities, then the clear winner is the Trax because it's the cheaper of the two. The price differences aren't massive, but it's still noticeable that the more cost-effective vehicle still benefits from a turbocharged 1.2L I-3 engine, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the Chevy Safety Assist suite, and more. While the pricing differences are advantageous to the Trax, that doesn't mean the price increase is a detractor from our recommendation for the Trailblazer. Yes, the Trailblazer costs a touch more than the Trax, but once you're fitted with a turbocharged 1.3L I-3 engine paired with that nine-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive... well, you'll be hoofing in ways the Trax can only dream of. It's a small price to pay for adding some of these features on your Trailblazer, but it's worth it ten times over for the average driver who needs their vehicle for general travel with occasional leisurely drives. How Do You Want It? Knowing which model is better for you requires you to consider how the aforementioned will translate into your life. In the simplest of manners, the Trailblazer and Trax are both made for those who need a subcompact SUV; on the base level, these two seem to have been created for the same person. If you're willing to omit some of the more useful features found on the Trailblazer, like AWD and a wider infotainment interface, you'll do just fine in a Trax. However, if you have a few extra bucks to invest in the Trailblazer, you should do it. Choosing a Trailblazer not only gives your vehicle more room to expand its capabilities but also helps its longevity, as much in regard to what you need it for as to its potential resale value down the line. MSRP may change without notice. See the dealer for complete details.
