Chevrolet trucks are made to work, and look great doing it. With three models and several trim levels to choose from, these new Chevrolet trucks are ready to perform. Read on to explore the smart Chevrolet Colorado, the stylish Avalanche, and the venerable Silverado to find out which one is right for you.
Chevy Colorado
Nimble on the road and ready to perform, the Colorado is a capable midsize pickup that has the cargo space and powertrain to adventure off-road with confidence. This pickup is perfect for people who work outdoors and is an excellent choice for both the open range and the open road. Three Vortec engine choices and the Z71 Off-Road package for both the 2WD and 4x4 options will let you feel confident in your ride. The Colorado also offers extended cab options.
Chevy Avalanche
For drivers who need a blend of style, comfort, and capability, the Chevrolet Avalanche has these elements in spades. This versatile vehicle can change from a pickup truck into an SUV simply by raising the rear bench seat and Midgate for a night on the town after a hard day’s work.
The standard Vortec V8 delivers 320 horsepower and 335 lb-ft. of torque, while Active Fuel Management intelligently activates only as many cylinders as needed to squeeze as much performance as possible out of every drop of gas. Inside, the Avalanche is attractively trimmed with optional leather and wood-look accents.
Chevy Silverado
As the true workhorse in a proud line of Chevrolet trucks, the Silverado has long served among the ranks of weekend warriors, construction crews, and utility crews alike. The Silverado is offered in several models, from the ultra-capable 1500 to the incomparable 3500HD. The 2012 Silverado Hybrid has class-leading fuel efficiency without compromising the performance you expect from these tough trucks.
For the really heavy-duty jobs, the Silverado is the truck for you and your organization. The Silverado 2500HD diesel can tow 17,800 lbs, and the unmatched Silverado 3500HD Dually can carry a payload of 7,215 lbs. When you need a truck that can do it all and keep truckin’, the Silverado is the ideal choice.

Familiarizing yourself with your vehicle’s owner’s manual will help you stay on top of the routine service your Chevrolet will need over the course of its life. This manual includes a maintenance schedule, which details exactly what services and inspections will need to be performed at specific mileages. Used Chevrolets will benefit from this care just as much as a new car; all vehicles can be protected from breakdowns and the need for repairs with regular maintenance.
- Changing Oil: Depending on whether you use synthetic or conventional oil, your mileages may vary, but a rule of thumb is to have your oil changed every 3,000 miles. This is especially true of newer, more efficient vehicles with Variable Valve Timing (VVT) engines that are more sensitive to old and overly viscous oil. Speak with your Chevrolet dealer and service center to set up your oil change schedule.
Regulating Tire Pressure: Properly inflated tires are more important than you may think. Underinflated tires can negatively impact your gas mileage, decrease traction, and make your engine work harder. Tire pressure may not dramatically affect your engine’s life, but you can often discern a performance boost and smoother driving on properly inflated tires. Conversely, never overinflate your tires—while accidents aren’t common, the risk of a blowout increases with overinflated tires. Vising the Dealer for Services: Your Chevrolet dealer is the ideal source for information and model-specific care, and the dealership hires and trains technicians familiar with your particular new or used Chevrolet. They can also help you review your manual when you purchase a new or used vehicle so you can get started on the right maintenance right away. ? The service centers at John Hiester Chevrolet are ready to help you keep your car out of the garage and on the open road for many years to come. With the right routine care, your vehicle will perform at its peak. At John Hiester Chevrolet, we offer Lifetime Engine Guarantees on all new Chevrolet cars—visit us online or call us at (888) 904-2519 for more details.

Unlike hybrids, the Chevy Volt is a plug-in electric vehicle that runs entirely off of its electric motor. Watch this video to find out how this innovative vehicle works.
The Chevrolet Volt’s electric motor is powered by its lithium-ion battery for the first 50 miles. After that, the gas engine kicks in and acts as a generator to power the electric motor. Because this Chevy is not powered directly from a gasoline motor, it is extremely fuel-efficient. Watch this video to check out the inside of this brand-new, cutting-edge vehicle and to see it in action on the streets of Alaska.
