1st Trucks with a 5 Star Crash Rating

            I recently wrote about the all new Chevy Silverado, and highlighted some of the great innovations that GM has packed into this great truck. I mentioned how impressed I was with everything about it. Well, as I’ve said before, it only gets better!

           

            We don’t always think about the safety aspects of trucks because they are big, heavy, and visible. Unfortunately every motor vehicle has some likelihood of being involved in an accident. So when GM’s engineers design our vehicles they place a great deal of emphasis on the aspects surrounding safety in their formulas for a successful design.

 

            The culmination of that effort paid off for the 2014 Silverado, High Country Silverado, and the GMC Sierra and Sierra Denali. They are the first trucks to be awarded National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s 5 Star Crash rating! That’s quite an achievement considering the tests applied to the vehicle, including a frontal crash test, a side barrier crash test, and a rollover test.

             Key aspects contributing to this achievement are a fully boxed frame and an increased use of high strength steel in key areas such as the B-Pillars. Other key features focusing on safety are the forward collision alert, and the lane departure warning, and as always, if you were to be involved in an accident there is OnStar, to get assistance to you quickly.

             When you consider all of the other features and benefits of your next truck, don’t forget safety, and how GM is leading the way to insure that all of your travels have safety as a key feature – so why not stop by and take a test drive in The Best Trucks in America? Call me today and I can make an appointment to find out why we’re “Simply the Best!”

The All New 2014 Chevy Silverado!

 

 

 

 

They’re here! The all new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado is one fine piece of work. GM’s engineers have outdone themselves again. One look and you can see the subtle but effective exterior design changes. From the powerful hood to the flared wheel wells to the rear step bumper and the EZ Lift and Lower Tailgate, the changes have been crafted to make the Silverado stand out from the crowd and be functional as well. Just look at the pictures to see some of the finer details.

 

 As far as power is concerned, there are a range of options for every need: the powerful 6.2L - V8; the 5.3L – V8; and the high torque 4.3L – V6. These powerful engines all utilize the new generation, all aluminum, EcoTec3 design which optimizes efficiency and power based on how you drive. So whether you’re towing uphill, or cruising on the highway, there’s a choice to meet all of your needs.

 

 

 

Speaking of which, the console includes 2 DC power ports; an AC outlet to power devices and charge others, as well a 3 USB ports! And then there’s the new MyLink infotainment system. It has an impressive 8.5 inch touch screen to control the audio functions, Bluetooth streaming, Navigation, XM Radio and more. This is a very intuitive system to use, and certainly a valuable option for today’s connected customer.
