Tough Guys Love Chevy Trucks

Chevy used the marketing slogan 'A Legacy Built on Dependability' when it advertised its trucks. Three unique and outstanding models were brought onto the market in 2008. It is known that the Silverado, Avalanche and Colorado are the best in their own class.

Tough men want tough trucks that can cope with the dirt roads found throughout the country. A favorite choice is the rock hard body of the Silverado. Owners boast about the truck outliving them, and that their sons will inherit it. This Chevy truck offers all the desired attributes of power and driving comfort. With its powerful 6.6L V8 Turbo diesel engine and six-speed automatic transmission, Silverado is more than capable of handling highway trips and dirt roads. The rear door of the passenger cab can be opened to 170 degrees, which makes cargo handling easy.

The Avalanche is the perfect model for guys who want to combine a sporty vehicle with a truck's power and ability to haul loads. The midgate system is an innovative feature which allows the pick-up bed to be extended into the back seat area. The rear bed can be transformed into a sleeping area, simply by folding down the midgate. This is the reason that the Avalanche is a favorite of lovers of the outdoors. This 'convertible' has enough room for two sleeping bags, so there's no need for mountaineers to pitch a base camp tent if they've got Avalanche along on the expedition.

Those with an eye to economy will appreciate the same hardworking performance in a truck. Chevy's mid-sized truck, the Colorado, is driven by a smaller 3.5L I5 engine. This pick-up truck was developed in conjunction with Japanese car-maker Isuzu, and combines many popular features such as comfort, power, flexibility and durability.

Information connectivity and entertainment are essentials as the trucks are often used to transport cargo long distances. A CD and MP3 capable entertainment package comes standard with 2008 model Chevy trucks, along with an up-to-the-minute Radio Data System compatible radio. The Avalanche model went even further, offering a Navigation Radio.

All new Chevy trucks integrate General Motor's Active Fuel Management technology. Thanks to this amazing new technology, the engine can switch from eight cylinder full power to the four cylinder fuel-saving mode. This process is completely automated and controlled electronically.

With Chevy's commitment to the development and utilization of alternative energy, some models have been adapted to use E85 ethanol-blended fuel. Ethanol is a more efficient fuel than gasoline, which is a fossil fuel, and therefore emits less carbon into the environment. In line with its commitment to the American Revolution, Chevy is helping with the global effort to reverse climate change.
