If you are in the market for a good work/pleasure truck you my consider looking into 2011 or newer, because there are some major changes applied to this year, that are not available in 2010 and older, including engine, transmission, suspension, stability, frame, brakes, comfort etc.

Smart transmission (smart computer, shifting):
Vehicle has a shift stabilization feature that adjust the transmission shifting to the current driving conditions. The transmission uses adaptive shift controls. Adaptive shift controls continually
compares key shift parameters to pre-programmed ideal shifts stored in the transmission computer. The transmission constantly makes adjustments to improve vehicle performance according to how the vehicle is being used.

Transmission manual mode with range selection mode:
It lets driver select the range of gears appropriate for current driving conditions. Selecting gears 1 - 3, helps reducing and maintaining vehicle speed without using brakes on: hilly, winding
roads (gear 3), steep mountain roads (gear 2), major/severe downgrades and off-road driving, deep snow or mud (gear 1).

Low traction mode:
Assists in vehicle acceleration when road conditions are slippery, such as with ice or snow.

Tow/haul mode:
The tow/haul adjusts the transmission shift pattern to reduce shift cycling, providing increased performance, vehicle control, and transmission cooling when towing or hauling heavy loads.

Cruise grade braking:
Cruise grade braking assists when driving on a downhill grade. It maintains vehicle speed by automatically implementing a shift schedule that uses the engine and the transmission to slow the
vehicle.

Four-wheel drive with locking differential:
Shifts between two-wheel drive high and four-wheel drive high can be made at any vehicle speed. Very useful when you are driving on the highway in the winter in two-wheel drive and suspect ice on some bridges. For some other trucks you are required to slow down or stop to be able to shift in to four-wheel drive. Hitting brakes to slow down can be very dangerous or fatal on ice.
Four-wheel drive high, use when extra traction is needed, such as snowy or icy roads or in most of-road situations. This setting also engages the front axle to help drive the vehicle. This is the best setting to use when plowing snow.
Four-wheel drive low, this setting also engages front axle and delivers extra torque. You may never need this setting. It sends maximum power to all four wheels.You might choose this setting
while driving off-road in deep snow, and while climbing or descending steep hills.
Locking differential automatically locks both wheels on the axle so if one slips other one still engages.

Shifting case neutral position: Allows your vehicle to be towed without any damage to the transmission, and without the need of lifting wheels, unlike most other automatic four-wheel, all-wheel, and two-wheel drive vehicles. This truck can be towed behind RV with all wheels on the ground, or with the tow-dolly, with front or rear wheels off the ground.

Quote: "The big changes for the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD happen under the skin. The new fully boxed frame is much beefier than last year, increasing capability and aiding road manners.
The new frame is five times stiffer torsionally than the outgoing frame. The new independent suspension and leaf-spring rear suspension are larger and stronger, increasing the front axle rating to 6,000 pounds, which means a snow plow can be used on all 2011 iterations. It has also had a positive effect on towing and hauling capability.
The stronger frame also improves durability and allows for finer and more comfortable suspension tuning. In addition, GM has used a hydraulic body mount for the rear of the cab. As a result, the 2011 Silverado HD rides much better, without as many of the up-and-down motions commonly associated with pickup trucks.
Steering, handling and braking are improved as well. The new steering is more direct, with less play on center, and the stiffer structure allows the Silverado HD to react quicker to steering inputs. The brakes are much more substantial with larger rotors and calipers, giving them less pedal travel and a firmer, more confident feel. If you've driven a Silverado HD or half-ton recently, you won't recognize the steering and braking of the new HD. It's much better..."

Comparing towing capabilities:

2011 Chevy Silverado 1500 4WD crew cab, short box: max trailer weight 5500 lbs - 9400 lbs, GCWR 11000 lbs - 15000 lbs.
2011 Chevy Silverado 2500HD 4WD crew cab, st. box: max trailer weight 9400 lbs(conventional trailer) - 13900 lbs(fifth-wheel trailer), GCWR 16000 lbs - 20500 lbs.

GCWR - Gross Combination Weight Ratio, is the total allowable weight of the completely loaded vehicle and trailer including any passengers, cargo, equipment, and conversions.
GVWR - The gross vehicle weight rating, or gross vehicle mass (GVM) is the maximum operating weight/mass of a vehicle as specified by the manufacturer including the vehicle's chassis, body, engine, engine fluids, fuel, accessories, driver, passengers and cargo but excluding that of any trailers.go but excluding that of any trailers.

These are the five most ridiculous attacks on the Chevy Volt [w/videos]

Thu, Aug 7 2014

It's been a long, strange trip for the Chevy Volt from the time when the now-odd-looking concept version (above) was introduced at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show to today. And now, General Motors announced that the second-generation Chevy Volt will make an appearance at the 2015 Detroit show in January. This debut represents a victory for GM with what has easily become the most politicized car of the 21st Century. There are plenty of reasons for someone to criticize the Volt, but what's amazing is just how much anti-Volt energy has been spent not on things like the styling or how the EREV setup is not as efficient as a pure-EV powertrain. As we wait for more official information on the new Volt, we thought it would be fun to go back and look at some of the most wildly incorrect reporting and strangest attacks on the Volt from the archives. There is so much good stuff out there, it was hard to pare the list down, but these are our five favorites. Amazingly, they're not all clips from Fox News. Check 'em out below. 5. GM Is Going To Stop Making The Chevy Volt In The US Do you remember when GM was about to move Volt production to China? Well, yeah, this was reported back in early 2012 when a GM executive mentioned that the automaker would get benefits of building the Volt in the places where it sells them. This was spun into a story of GM taking Obama bailout money and then running to China. The Blaze was not happy: "Given the fact that Federal government helped itself to millions and millions of taxpayer dollars under the pretense that it was going to combat high unemployment by creating 'green jobs,' it would seem that moving research and development (and possibly manufacturing) overseas is slightly, well, counterproductive." Well, of course, that never happened. There's no way to say that GM will never build a version of the Volt in China, but the news we hear rumors of these days is that GM is going to move production of more Volt parts (specifically, the motors) to Michigan from overseas. 4. The Chevy Volt Is A Fire Trap There has never been a Volt that just spontaneously lit up while driving down the road. Yes, there were Volts that caught on fire. Yes, that's a scary thing. But there has never been a Volt that just spontaneously lit up while driving down the road. These were crashed test vehicles with destroyed batteries and plugged-in vehicles that were not the cause.

GM won't really kill off the Chevy Volt and Cadillac CT6, will it?

Fri, Jul 21 2017

General Motors is apparently considering killing off six slow-selling models by 2020, according to Reuters. But is that really likely? The news is mentioned in a story where UAW president Dennis Williams notes that slumping US car sales could threaten jobs at low-volume factories. Still, we're skeptical that GM is really serious about killing those cars. Reuters specifically calls out the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Impala, Chevrolet Sonic, and the Chevrolet Volt. Most of these have been redesigned or refreshed within the past few model years. Four - the LaCrosse, Impala, CT6, and Volt - are built in the Hamtramck factory in Detroit. That plant has made only 35,000 cars this year - down 32 percent from 2016. A typical GM plant builds 200,000-300,000 vehicles a year. Of all the cars Williams listed, killing the XTS, Impala, and Sonic make the most sense. They're older and don't sell particularly well. On the other hand, axing the other three seems like an odd move. It would leave Buick and Cadillac without flagship sedans, at least until the rumored Cadillac CT8 arrives. The CT6 was a big investment for GM and backing out after just a few years would be a huge loss. It also uses GM's latest and best materials and technology, making us even more skeptical. The Volt is a hugely important car for Chevrolet, and supplementing it with a crossover makes more sense than replacing it with one. Offering one model with a range of powertrain variants like the Hyundai Ioniq and Toyota Prius might be another route GM could take. All six of these vehicles are sedans, Yes, crossover sales are booming, but there's still a huge market for cars. Backing away from these would be essentially giving up sales to competitors from around the globe. The UAW might simply be publicly pushing GM to move crossover production to Hamtramck to avoid closing the plant and laying off workers. Sales of passenger cars are down across both GM and the industry. Consolidating production in other plants and closing Hamtramck rather than having a single facility focus on sedans might make more sense from a business perspective. GM is also trying to reduce its unsold inventory, meaning current production may be slowed or halted while current cars move into customer hands. There's a lot of politics that goes into building a car. GM wants to do what makes the most sense from a business perspective, while the UAW doesn't workers to lose their jobs when a factory closes.

Question of the Day: Worst year of the Malaise Era?

Thu, Jun 23 2016

The Malaise Era for cars in the United States spanned the 1973 through 1983 model years, and featured such abominations as a Corvette with just 205 horsepower (from the optional engine!) and MGBs with suspensions jacked way up to meet new headlight-height requirements. There were many low points throughout this gloomy period, of course. The horrifyingly low power and fuel-economy numbers for big V8s during the middle years of the Malaise Era make a strong case for 1974 or 1975— the years of Nixon's resignation and the Fall of Saigon, respectively— as the most Malaisey years. But then the GM-pummeling debacles of the Chevy Citation and Cadillac Cimarron could make an early-1980s year the low point. 1979, the year of the ignominious Chrysler bailout? You choose!
