2023 Chevy Silverado ZR2 Bison to Arrive This Summer with Assistance From Customization Gurus at AEV



It was last year when Chevy officially introduced the 2022 Silverado ZR2, and everyone here at Chuck Hutton of Memphis knew that much like other capable and current rigs, it was going to be an off-road game-changer extraordinaire! Chevy had dropped many official hints in the form of a video teaser for the incoming Silverado ZR2 Bison, which will add even more rugged and trail-ready upgrades to this already perfectly canyon-crawl capable and all-American favorite. 

Even though the teaser seemed to keep many things a bit under wraps as usual, it is evident that Chevy is again partnering with the all-out masters of customization in the form of the Montana-derived American Expedition Vehicles staff. You can make out some of these sweet additives in the teaser video, but they're fairly well covered in shadows, as many pre-release excitement-generating previews are. The bison is expected to have a large metal underbody protection, just as it did on the Colorado, bearing 5 passively preps steel underbody skid plates. 

Looking at what the Colorado had offered in terms of wilderness-conquering equipment, there was also a brand-new front bumper with a winch in place, a new rear bumper with tow hooks, a 2.0-suspension lift, and unique wheels. Chevy also gave the truck a lifted suspension from the 40-millimeter Multimatic DSSV spool-valve dampers, and this is one of the most important aspects of off-roading: we have been watching some of the most famous YouTubers out there test drive trucks after installing a lift kit, and they are thrilled with the difference. This is one way to improve ride quality drastically and can rover over obstacles much easier. 



The Silverado ZR2 derives power from the burly 6.2-liter V8 that makes 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, and the Bison is expected to brandish the same under the hood. The video also appears to show a very beefed-up differential, as well as a revised front bumper and pair of fog lights “illuminating double trouble” that looks a bit different than those on the ZR2. The 2023 Chevy ZR2 Bison will debut this summer, and it is expected to be officially on sale before year’s end. 

This will give Chevy another very capable pickup with the added extras to suitably take on more than just a few stray pebbles in its way. The Hotcars.com team determined after a lengthy test drive that this truck has “immense athletic ability” and is that true and well-defined solution for tackling tough trail excursions. About a 3-hour drive east from Memphis will get you to Wooly’s Off-Road park, where for only 15$ per person you can enjoy world-class challenges and the very toughest of terrain!

2022 Chevy Silverado 2500 in Diesel Mode Bears “Huge Footprint and Unforgettable Capability”



All of us here at Chuck Hutton of Memphis have long been fans of the Chevy Silverado: the always ready to tow, haul, and put in more than a full workday attitude along with the ability to still rule the urban streets provides a very wide appeal. The 2022 Silverado 2500 is a pickup truck that resides in the XXL ¾ ton category that can tow up to 18,500 lbs and is offered in enough configurations to fit any very specific need or lifestyle. The 2500 was recently given a full-fledged showcase on the Newatlas.com blog and enjoys its position along with the rest that are situated in the over 80-inch-tall category. 

Among the options are single cab, a double-sized cab, crew cab, and the very popular 4-door model. So many diehard truck fans are thrilled that the diesel engine has massive capabilities, but still can handle like a car, and many very useful and currently focused additives make perfect sense for ergonomic daily use. Depending on which equipment is involved, the 2022 Silverado 2500 HD can two anywhere from 14,500 to 18,500, and most of the difference between the lower and higher numbers is in where the powertrain choice lies. 

The sensational 2500 6.6-Liter diesel and ten-speed mated transmission pushed up to nearly 20 mpg during a recent highway test. Seeing better fuel efficiency also means greater strength in the towing department, with cargo rated at 4,000 lb in either configuration and the Multi-Flex tailgate available on all Silverado 2500 trim levels. This additive will always provide better access, load handling capabilities, and all-around useful demeanor for the truck. One of the most prominent traits that every reviewer exclaims about the Silverado is that it’s very easy to drive regardless of its huge and bulky mass, along with the assistance of Chevy’s top-notch camera system.



Here you can benefit from both backing and 360-view cameras, as well as the advanced trailering system that provides 15 separate camera views up for visual grabs, with the ability to even “see-through” your attached trailer. Once you start the job of hauling or towing, this is when the Silverado 2500 delivers just what users expect and beyond, with confident braking, a class-leading smooth ride, and acceleration that is poised and ready to get the job done. There are so many reasons why this is the most capable and strongest Silverado ever. 

The advanced trailer system provides a level of advancement and superiority that allows you to create customized trailer profiles that aid in hitching and towing, and the Chevy Mobile App on your device allows you to easily keep track of everything right in the palm of your hand. The Durabed offers more cargo volume than any HD competitor, and offers up 12 standard tie-downs, LED cargo area lighting, and a 120-volt outlet that is ideal for keeping your power tools always fully juiced and ready to go.

2023 Chevy Bolt and EUV Now Flaunt Much Lower Price as Alluring Customer Incentive



When electric cars finally became a daily reality here at Chuck Hutton of Memphis, the many federal tax credits available with purchase were one of the massive incentives for customers to purchase one. Everyone wants to feel as if they're doing good for the world and doing their part for a sustainable future, but America’s consumers also are very responsive to what tends to be the bottom line as far as cost out of their pocket. 

With some of the initial federal tax credits available not in existence anymore, the 2023 Chevy Bolt EV and EUV are experiencing a massive cut, offering a substantial amount off the 2022 model year’s official list price. Some national dealers such as us are a bit surprised to see any vehicle right now undergo a massive price cut since many EV manufacturers have had to take the opposite route and increase prices to make up for ongoing supply chain shortages. 

We were happy to learn that GM is not under quite as much pressure right now as some of our competitors and is providing massive rewards for future Bolt customers with the same type of deal they would have received even if the federal tax credit situation was still ongoing. This will ultimately reflect our ongoing desire to assure that the Bolt EV/EUV both remain very viable in the workplace, and that affordability will remain a very high priority. This new pricing announcement will send the 2023 Bolt EV to the top of this new model lineup regarding pricing will also send the vehicle to the top of Motortrend.com’s list of their most affordable EVs currently on sale. 



As the 2023 Bolt’s summer production schedule draws closer, GM officials announced more details about options for home charging that will also provide extremely competitive pricing. Many seasoned reviewers such as the Kelley Blue Book staff have enjoyed the Bolt’s narrow headlights, well-sculpted sides, and modern proportions. With its 259 miles of all-electric driving range, the Bolt EV has the spirit and stamina to outlast most of its competitors. 

The modern model of regenerative braking does the duty of feeding power back to the 65 CWH lithium-ion battery pack. When you simply lift your foot off the gas pedal, the bolt can decelerate without needing much four on the actual brake pedal. DC fast charging is standard on all bolt EVs and here you can very quickly add 100 miles of all-electric range in just half an hour.
