Food Truck Fridays: Pile up in the 2018 Chevy Traverse and Play Hooky

Visitors that come talk to us have sometimes just relocated to Memphis: they may be here for a brand new career or to further their education, and they are looking for things to do on their free time. Vehicles like the 2018 Chevy Traverse offer quite a bit as far as space: with seating for up to 8, you have no shortage of ability to get really creative when it comes to down-time activities. During Food Truck Fridays at the Dixon Gallery and Gardens, there are 3 to 4 food vendors on hand each week, offering everything from barbecue and sushi, to tasty frozen desserts. Every Friday through September, there's no admission charge from 11:30 – 1:30 PM.

Local entrepreneurs have been showing their flair all over the nation as of late, and more and more city dwellers are falling in love with the food trucks that can be found on many street corners around town. Foregoing the security of a steady gig, these culinary-inclined folks are dishing up some of the best eats imaginable, and really putting their heart and soul into every plateful. Here at Chuck Hutton Chevy, we have our hats respectfully off to these craftsmen and women, and encourage all of our customers to check out horizon-broadening events like this.

As far as the medium to get there? The all-new Traverse is redesigned from the ground up, offering the best-in-class maximum cargo space, and more space overall than the Explorer, Pilot, or Highlander. There are more trim choices available this year: L, LS, LT, and Premier are the primary options, followed up with the sporty RS and top-of-the-line High Country trim levels. A Redline package is also available on Premier, which features a blacked-out appearance and red accents.

During trips of any distance, you'll love the Enhanced Smart Slide seat: it provides immediate access to the third row, even with an empty forward-facing child seat in place. All three rows have USB charging, so keeping the web-surfing devices fully loaded will be a cinch. Teen Driver Technology is on board to assure that the younger drivers in your bunch are playing by the rules, driving with caution, and getting a safe mode of use from the Traverse. Rear Vision Cameras are probably one of the most exciting devices on cars today: so many accidents can be prevented at a glance when backing up, and the Traverse has the best in show.

When you are loading up and getting ready to go, keep in mind that you have access to 98.2 cubic feet for cargo, and underfloor cargo storage totaling 3.2 cubic feet. The center console is what you'd usually encounter in a full-size truck, and there are 23 separate storage spots throughout the vehicle for passengers in all three rows.

Surround Vision is going to make you feel at your best when it comes to being safe and secure: you can obtain a bird's eye view of the vehicle to help make hauling a trailer, moving in reverse, or parallel parking that much easier. Ask us how the Premier and High Country trim levels give you heated and ventilated leather-trimmed front seats, as well as heated second-row outboard seats for all-weather comfort.

One of the best reasons for owning a Traverse is ever-changing road conditions: after a look and a test drive, you'll see just how this dominating beast can handle just fine, even when the driving conditions are the exact opposite. Edmunds, Inc. claims that this is a vehicle with a “suspension that delivers an exceptionally comfortable ride quality, and the body structure and sound-deadening materials keep wind and road noise at bay”.
