Automobile Hails 2019 Silverado For Its Raw Domination During Delivery Duty

GM's very long-awaited launch of the all-new Chevy Silverado has had many customers right here at O'Rielly Chevy and nationwide very anxious. Todd Lassa of Automobile took on the task of driving a 2019 Silverado 4WD LT Crew Cab pickup for a weekend, on a trip around 140 miles out of Detroit to pick up a storm door and unload it at the summer cabin another 30 miles out. This was exactly the type of routine errand that many brand-new truck owners will embark upon, and a pretty good gauge of how the truck performs in a typical home improvement delivery situation.

He first begins by making it clear that he's not a truck guy, and that is completely understandable! Even though we have witnessed firsthand the staggering amount of appeal that trucks have commanded into their camp over the last five years particularly, many true auto aficionados crave the low-riding feel and track-gripping sensations you can acquire from driving a sedan. Nonetheless, the ability to haul, tow, move, and now jump directly off-road with more prowess than ever before is a powerful allure to many, and trucks keep flying off the lot here in Tucson faster than we can stock them. Todd does not require the full-size driving sensations that the Silverado provides in all ways to satisfy his pavement cravings, but he still dutifully pulled out of the driveway to start his trip.

The first thing he noticed was its incredibly smooth and quiet ride on the freeway, while at the same time appreciating the sensation of a jet taking off that you get when launching off the line. He praised the truck for its practicality and punch, and while he himself was not in need of the varied hard-duty functions of the Silverado, many contractors and other hard-duty linesmen and women nationwide are. We take pleasure in offering the 2019 version of the truck that Car and Driver deemed “Lord of the contractor,” as well as “good for the ultimate victory in the truck wars.”

Speaking of the good folks at Car and Driver, they took the RST model through Wyoming's Grand Tetons last year, and they were fully enthused about the uphill climbing power as well as recovering from small bumps and having well-weighted and accurate steering. Increased tow ratings and bigger bed are two of the traits that really made the Silverado the strong and spry competitor against the F-150 that it is. Whenever a crown is at stake, the race becomes fervent, and the Silverado has earned its stripes during 2018 in many ways. We are excited about the fact that the new Silverado is bigger, yet still lighter, and both existing V-8s now feature Chevy's new Dynamic Fuel Management technology.

This system employs 17 different firing modes and does the job of shutting down as many as six cylinders at will, depending on immediate torque demand. A trailering package with a bigger rear axle, radiator with more cooling capability, and revised shock tuning are all great elements on the table: come soon to check out this truck that fared so well on a winter's holiday urgent to-do run!

2019 Chevy Trax New Pacific Blue Color Highlighted in GM Authority

Check out the new color here

The addition of new colors for a model is always an exciting event for the holidays: as the decorations and festive lights begin to pop up all over the Tucson area, more options for the exteriors of brand new cars are also becoming options for your 2019 purchase. As the excitement of spiced eggnog and wondering what kind of gifts the packages contain that are arriving on the porch mounts, it is a very festive pastime to sit down with your loved ones and select the perfect new car. The 2019 Chevy Trax will now add three new colors to its selection: Dark copper metallic, satin steel metallic, and pacific blue metallic.

Included in the base price of the 2019 Chevy Trax, it is also available in conjunction with all interior color combinations, and all trim levels besides LS. The Trax is a subcompact crossover utility vehicle that slots below the equinox as our pride and joy in the “half-pint” department, and this was the second crossover to launch in its segment in the U.S. Last years revamp gifted the Trax with all-new front and rear fascias, the replacement of the LTZ trim with the Premier, completely revised interior, and a brand-new infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto compatibility.

For 2018, the Trax received a new Redline Edition model, and numerous positive changes in equipment level. Like all first-generation units, the 2019 model will continue to ride on the GM Gamma II Platform, which is shared with the Buick Encore, and first-generation Chevy Sonic. Billed as “comfortable and competent” by Car and Driver, it was also ranked highly for its commanding seating position, and very confident handling. Ask us here at O'rielly Chevy about the Driver Confidence package: this is where you get the added assistance of rear parking sensors, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.

The expansive headroom gives an airy and spacious feel to the cabin, and the touchscreen mounted to the dashboard is a snap to use. Road testers managed to fit 18 carry-on suitcases with the rear seats stowed, and many customers that come to speak to us about a new purchase are excited about the five-star rating the Trax gets from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Available forward-collision warning, blind-spot monitoring, and rear parking sensors are some of the integral reasons why it is ranked so high in the safety realm. Chevy also proudly stands by the complimentary scheduled maintenance offered for the Trax, which is not found all-too-common among competitors.

Ask us this holiday season how you can obtain the Limited Warranty that covers 3 years or 36,000 miles. The Powertrain Warranty covers 5 years or 60,000 miles, and Complimentary Maintenance is covered for 2 years, or 24,000 miles. Also available with 4G LTE capability, you'll have all sorts of entertainment and navigation ability at your fingertips when you climb aboard your brand new Trax!

2020 Silverado HD High Country Revealed, Sporting Killer Design and Stance

The all-new Chevy Silverado HD has done a great job of expanding its renowned truck franchise with five distinct trim levels for the all-new Silverado HD, every single trim level offers a slightly different variant of design, features, and technology to fulfill the demands of HD owners. The days of a “one size fits most” option have long bitten the dust, as the need to be more personalized becomes a higher and higher priority.

Each of the Silverado HD models features very unique design details, including grilles that feature either the Chevy stamped bar, or highly recognizable bowtie with mix of black, body color, chrome, or the two-tone metallic trim that High Country models can claim as their own. Every fine detail of what customers expect, and how they will use their truck has been taken into consideration with the multiple types of available trims for the Silverado, whether it is pulling a trailer, or working on a construction site. The current High Country trim sports LED high-intensity headlamps, as well as chrome assist steps from wheel to wheel.

There is so much to enjoy about the user-friendliness and accessibility that the Chevy infotainment system offers, with its 8-inch diagonal color touchscreen, as well as embedded navigation. With the High Country trim, you get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto phone projection compatibility, advanced voice recognition, in-vehicle apps, and personalized profiles to boot. The High Country trim level also sees the power tailgate as standard, and also offers heated and vented perforated leather-appointed front bucket seats as well as a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

When customers come to talk to us about trucks, they are quite understandably concerned about safety: during any length of trip, it's great to know that you are covered in all ways while en route. Standard StabiliTrak stability control provides rollover mitigation technology, trailer sway control, and hill-start assist. Included with the High Country trim is Front and Rear Park Assist, Lane Change alert with Side Blind Zone Alert, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. Intellibeam automatic headlamp control and Following Distance Indicator are other great features: if the system detects no vehicle ahead, or the vehicle ahead is out of sensor range, dashes will be displayed, and the system displays a minimum following time of .5 seconds.

If a crash risk is detected, the safety alert seat technology will vibrate the driver's seat bottom, and the Lowe Speed Front Automatic Braking feature will apply the brakes to help reduce collision severity, if the vehicle is traveling at a low speed, and the system detects any possibility of a front-end type collision. As the Holiday season bears down on us here at O'rielly Chevy, we invite you to check out just how awesome these trucks are: you'll have to wait a while for the 2020 fleet, but we are happy to answer any pertinent questions we can, including delivery time from Santa's snowy sleigh itself!
