Chevy Colorado Duramax Comes Out Tops in Treacherous-Terrain Conquering Capability

The off-road truck game has been elevated to epic proportions over the past few years, with differentials, suspension elements, and technical aids all beefing up the world's most durable trucks with every update. Here at Chuck Hutton of Memphis we have long played favorites with the Colorado ZR2: our very own delightfully home-grown warrior is fit for boulder-climbing and mud-terrain style prowess. Boasting lifted suspension, Multimatic spool valve dampers, underbody skid plates, and increased track width, it arrives on the lot prepared for frozen tundras, rock-strewn mountain roads, and raging rivers. 

Thankfully for those out there who need just that much more from their off-road selection, the Barrett-Jackson auction company provides exactly what they are searching for with the extremely-customized 2019 Chevy Colorado LT. This model saw its beginnings as a Colorado LT sporting the optional 2.8-Liter turbo-diesel LWN 3-cylinder that belongs to the tried-and-true Duramax club. An intensive overhaul offered a full Baja Kits pre-runner setup with long-travel upper and lower control arms and Chromoly axle shafts. 

These are joined by five-inch Fox Racing coil overs, front and rear Eaton electronic locking differentials, and 17-inch XD Series Beadlock wheels with 37-inch Falken Wild Peak M/T tires. Going anywhere with a heavily-equipped off-road model used to offer hardly any of the luxuries of the present day's number: this pickup includes a Tuff Stuff rooftop tent, an onboard generator, ARB refrigerator, M Racks roof rack, and RotopaX liquid storage containers with mounting plates. 

Rounding everything out is high-cut and flared fenders, Bodyguard front and rear off-road bumpers as well as a 3-inch cat-back exhaust and protective roof rails. If anyone in layman's land attempted this at home, it would take more than a fair amount of time, and so we expect a high number of truck lovers expressing interest. There are so many highlights that render this truck far above average that any experienced desert runner and backwoods mountaineer will be immediately salivating when they closely investigate. 

The Baja Kits pre-runner assembly included the Nitro Gear and axle 4.56 gears, extra durable BedRug carpeted bed liners, a 3-inch exhaust, and  sPOD to manage all of the electrical add-ons. Mecum is an online-bidding forum that allows those ready to roll into some of the world's finest-crafted machinery look from the comfort of their home and bid on these ultra-powerful and tough custom vehicles. 

The 2020 C8 Corvette: Heaping Amounts Of Mid-Engined Magic for the Dollar

Wherever you choose to travel while driving the new C8 Corvette, everyone around you is guaranteed to stand up and take notice. The excitement seems as if it is in no hurry to die down for quite some time, as so many can appreciate (even if just by a brief look!) the groundbreaking shift from any other Corvette in previous existence. One of the traits that have been most widely-recognized is regarding its daily performance: after a few high-powered laps, it still tones itself down into everyday character with ease.

Rumors about the Corvette becoming mid-engined have been circulating for quite some time, and for the 8th-generation they now see the power source behind the driver. With greatly improved handling and balance, the car benefits from all of the engine's weight not being housed all in one end. The first major source of excitement is the naturally-aspirated V8 engine: a rarity in the current car climate. It is squeezed in between the base axles with an outbound boast of 495 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. The Corvette C8 has a ridiculously fast 0 to 60 time of around 3 seconds, which can be achieved with the addition of the Z51 Performance Package.

The staff on duty at Business Insider claimed that you only need about five seconds with the car to realize that the steering is amazing, and just the smallest input will yield precise and prompt reactions. GM's highly adaptive suspension system uses magnetically controlled shock absorbers, rounding out things with a character of stiffness that gives anyone; from beginner to expert, a ride that commands the surface and alleviates body roll quite well. Put the car in Comfort mode, and you can hardly sense the transmission shifting underneath you at all. 

When it comes to pricing, scores of experts have claimed that there is hardly a better bargain out there than the C8 Corvette. It's an American sports car through and through, and when stacked up against the competition has more power and daily accessibility than just about any of its rivals. The stature of the car very well captures the essence of spectacular supercar design and consistently looks difficult to tame.

What we have gathered here at Chuck Hutton Chevrolet of Memphis is that the aggressive performance of the C8 is very well complimented by its more everyday, massively desirable features. There is definitely tons of available power, but after a few detailed drives the flexed-muscle hype resides just under the surface, giving you a more tamed experience. After a good look online at all of the available options, one of the extras we would recommend adding is the bellowing performance exhaust system: this is the best way to experience the collective 6.2-liters of wonderful noise!

2021 Chevy Silverado HD's Detailed Suspension Hardware Add 500 Lbs. To Towing Capacity

 A trucks strength is measured in many different ways such as engine size, technology offerings, and interior and exterior elements. Any new truck buyer here at Chuck Hutton of Memphis who is looking for the best rig that suits them perfectly, has a detailed and demanding checklist. Coming out on top is the truck that is comfortable while still rugged and capable enough to handle anything a tough day in their line of work brings about. The new 2021 Chevy Silverado HD is going to be hitting the scene with a bang: it now boasts brand new optional equipment, new exterior colors, and a hefty increase in maximum trailering capacity.

Just how hefty are we talkin'? The new model now has a total capacity of 36,000 pounds, seeing a 500-pound increase over the 2020 Silverado. The increase is due to the ideal combination of various suspension hardware updates and wheel packaging changes. The Silverado 3500 HD Work Truck Regular Cab models with the dual-rear-wheel axle, two-wheel-drive, Duramax turbo-diesel  6.6-L LSP V8 engine, GM 10-speed transmission, and available Max Tow package, all of these are necessary to see the ultimate boost to a 36,000-pound tow rating. 

Mosaic Black Metallic and Cherry Red Tintcoat are the two new exterior colors available for 2021, and there will also be four new special edition models on tap. The HD Carharrt Edition is available exclusively on the LTZ trim, and the blacked-out Midnight Edition is up for grabs on the LT and LTZ. The Carharrt is the hard-working man or woman's dream: inspired by the incredibly durable workwear brand, it offers a classic look with body-color accents, and 20-inch machined aluminum wheels with Grazen Metallic accents. The Midnight Edition remains stealth and darkly-cloaked as ever, with an intimidating blacked-out appearance, 20-inch Black painted wheels, and 4-inch black round assist steps.

If you're going to be lugging around the extra weight on the 2021 Silverado HD, then be sure to do it in style: The Z71 Sport Edition and Z71 Chrome Sport Edition models are also eagerly joining the lineup. The Z71 Sport Edition features 18-inch or 20-inch wheels, color-matched bumpers, and gloss black exterior trim with color selections being Red Hot, Summit White and Northsky Blue. The Z71 Chrome Sport Edition sees body-color bumpers with chrome exterior accents as well as 20-inch machined aluminum wheels, or 20-inch polished aluminum wheels on LTZ models. 

The Silverado LTZ model boasts the primed-and-powerful 5.3-liter V8 and 8-speed transmission, leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated steering wheel and heated front seats. At the entry-level of the trim lineup, the Work Truck still offers plenty to get excited about: the 4.3-liter V6 with 6-speed automatic transmission, 17-inch steel wheels, tilt-only steering-column adjustment, and a 7-inch touchscreen. 

Chevy Bolt EV Electric Cargo Van Sets Sights on Offering Efficiency For Commercial Fleets

The premise of an all-electric van designed for commercial fleets now provides a very sensible option for many businesses across the nation. The expense of gasoline adds up for anyone moving goods between destinations, and having the ability to rely on an all-electric means of transportation would be a large help in vitality for the company's bottom line. The Chevy Bolt EV van is now available through GM's fleet-sales division, as staff from The Drive noticed a tweet about it from early September.   

This cargo version is actually a form of a package for the standard Bolt EV that sees the removal of the rear seat. The maximum cargo space increases from 56.6 cubic feet with the rear seats folded to 66 cubic feet, ultimately offering more space than the very popular Chevy Equinox. Many businesses that are now experiencing an increase from those placing nationwide orders from home have been looking for a choice that bears more efficiency than a roof carrier, which experiences an intense drag in aerodynamics that results in a negative effect on the range. 

The 2022 Bolt EUV will boast more cargo space than the standard version. After looking over past and present trends, all of us here at Chuck Hutton of Memphis expect this future EUV to arrive as a crossover, minus the all-wheel-drive. As various companies look at their specific carbon footprint and their detailed plans to change the environment for the better, all-electric commercial vehicles are going to be a very valuable component. GM has frequently made public the plans to provide an all-electric future lineup, and the added emphasis on EVs and autonomous driving are instrumental steps on the pathway to this earth-friendly goal. 

Staff on hand at Reuters offered up an exclusive during late summer that claimed this van project is expected in the states before the end of 2021, keeping well ahead of the all-electric rival Ford Transit. It is very exciting to see the future promise of 20 distinct EV models coming in the future, and the current Bolt EV is poised and ready to take you wherever you want to go. A very affordable all-electric vehicle with an EPA-estimated 259 miles of range on a full charge, the Bolt EV also offers the current myChevrolet Mobile App with Energy Assist. This system uses information such as current charge, driving conditions, and real-time weather to plan the best route for you, as well as pointing you in the direction of the nearest charging station. 

The Bolt will see the arrival of the future EUV variant with SUV styling inspired by the Chevy Blazer, which has three extra inches of length over the regular Bolt hatchback. There is also an electric truck on the way to wage fierce battle with the likes of the electric Ford F-150, and it could obtain a battery pack that holds an impressive 200 kWh of electricity.
