Phone:219-595-2530 Please include name and phone number in your email-reply. 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..."

GM cutting vehicle trim options to save money for electrification
Sun, Mar 1 2020Information continues to filter out about GM's plans based on comments the automaker made during its Capital Markets Day event in February. GM President Mark Reuss said the company's push to save money by rationalizing the number of build combinations will continue in 2020, carrying on the work done in 2019. As GM Authority covers, last year, the carmaker cut 3,500 components across model lines, a 12% drop in the number of parts it needed to stock in its plants. Reuss used the next-generation Chevolet Equinox and GMC Terrain as examples for more cost efficiencies, saying build possibilities — which include international markets and their options — will be cut by more than 50%, and use more shared parts. "We will reduce total trim levels on Equinox and Terrain from eight to six," Reuss said, "reduce engine variants from 11 to 5, reduce build combinations from more than 200 to less than 100 per program, and see significant cost savings of an already paid-for architecture that took the mass out, helping us self-fund electrification programs." GM will plow a large amount of the money it saves into its ambitious EV program. In 2017, the automaker said it intends to have 20 electric vehicles on the market by the end of 2023, some of which could be shared between brands. An automotive analyst at Seeking Alpha and a piece in Automobile attempted to put specifics to what we should expect. As Automobile points out, the first two EVs in the 20-car program are already on sale, being the Ariv Meld and Ariv Merge eBikes available in Belgium and The Netherlands. We've seen the Cruise Origin autonomous rideshare taxi, although we don't know when it will hit the road. The next three, which we should see in the metal shortly, are two Cadillac EVs and the GMC Hummer EV pickup. The Cadillac pair are expected to be sized like the XT4 and XT5, and along with the Hummer, should hit the market starting in late 2021.
Porsche, Jaguar continue dominance in 2015 JD Power APEAL study
Wed, Jul 22 2015The top of JD Power's 2015 APEAL Study has not changed much in the last year. Porsche remains No. 1 with Jaguar nipping at its heels, although both premium brands saw their overall score fall compared to 2014. For those that need a refresher, the APEAL Study looks at how "gratifying" a vehicle is to own and drive, rating cars and brands on a 1,000-point scale. The industry average for 2015 has increased from 794 to 798, while the total number of automakers that finished above the curve increased from 16 to 20. While Porsche and Jaguar finished at the top, their scores dropped eight and seven points, respectively, to 874 and 855. The top "non-premium" brand was Mini, which scored an impressive 825, up from 795. If the BMW-owned British marque is still a bit too premium for your tastes, last year's non-premium winner, Hyundai, did climb five points and is this year's runner up. At the opposite end of the scale, Smart sits at the very bottom of the rankings, with a score of 683 (it didn't appear on the 2014 rankings). Fiat also dropped, from fourth worst in 2014 to second worst in 2015, despite the 500 being named most appealing city car. Subaru made an impressive climb, from third worst to seventh, falling just 10 points shy of the industry average and two points south of the non-premium average. In the individual vehicle segments, eight brands earned multiple awards, with Ford, Chevrolet, and Porsche earning three apiece. Surprise segment victories included the new Ford Expedition, which beat out Chevy's popular Suburban. The Infiniti QX80 bested the likes of the Cadillac Escalade and Range Rover for best large luxury SUV, and the Dodge Challenger beat its muscle car rivals from Ford and Chevy. Most of the victories, though, were quite predictable. The Mazda6 and CX-5 took wins for the midsize sedan and compact SUV categories respectively, while the Volkswagen Golf captured the compact car win. The Ford F-150 won the large pickup category, while the Porsche Cayman was named most appealing compact premium sporty car. Check out the official release on the 2015 APEAL Study, available below, from JD Power. 2015 U.S. APEAL Study Results The latest safety-related technologies are among the drivers of customer satisfaction with new vehicles, according to the J.D.
