The 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500 is one of the best vehicles on the market for personal and work-based use. It's heavy-duty and insanely powerful, and it can handle most of the toughest jobs you'll encounter. Let's take a look at some of its key features, so you can see what this hefty truck is capable of. more 1. Its Towing Ability The Chevy Silverado 2500 can tow a whopping 36,000 pounds. This is one of the highest towing capacities we've ever come across, and it certainly beats most of the Silverado 2500's competitors. There's almost nothing you can't tow with that capacity, and this will make a highly useful truck with someone who transports heavy-duty materials regularly. 2. It Accelerates Quickly The fact that the Chevy Silverado 2500 accelerates quickly is mind-blowing. This truck is incredibly heavy, and most trucks of this size can't go from 0 to 60 mph in only 6.7 seconds like the Silverado 2500 can. You're really getting a vehicle with unique abilities when you select the Chevy Silverado 2500, and it's truly one of the best on the market. 3. It Has Lots of Cabin Storage Many trucks skimp on cabin storage because the vehicle already has an enormous truck bed. However, if you work in your truck, then you know that you keep a lot of your life in the truck. There are probably valuables that you keep in your vehicle, and there's lots of gear that you use daily. Thankfully, there's a large bin storage for under the armrest, and there's another bin in the door. There are enormous cup holders spaced evenly throughout the vehicle, too, and there's one for everyone. 4. It's Spacious Spaciousness is another area where many competitors skimp. They assume that trucks this large will be driven by a single person for work purposes, and they think you'll rarely have passengers. However, Chevy differs here yet again, so the Silverado 2500 is more spacious than ever. The rear seating has been upgraded to include even more legroom for your passengers, and even the tallest people will be comfortable. There's also more headroom than ever before, and there's enough space to get cozy in. 5. Its Camera System There are 15 cameras mounted around your vehicle, so you can view your surroundings from 15 angles. This is highly necessary when you're towing large loads, and it can even be helpful when you're not towing. Having so many different views around your vehicle ensures you stay safe as possible. You can avoid anything that gets in your path, and this will prevent accidents. 6. Its Optional Head-Up Display You want to keep yourself and everyone else on the road safe, so looking down at your dash or at the infotainment system to check your stats can be a risky move. Thankfully, this truck comes with an optional head-up display. This display projects your key stats right onto the windshield, so you can view your stats and still see the road. Stop by Glasscock Chevrolet, and we'll make sure you have a great time test driving the Chevy Silverado 2500.

If you're looking for a compact crossover SUV, the 2020 Chevrolet Trax should be the one you're looking at. This is the perfect all-wheel-drive vehicle for a family that needs to run around the urban landscape while still having the freedom to head off for adventures. more More Space Than You Expect One of the coolest things about this smallest SUV from Chevy is the fact that it doesn't look it. Despite having a wheelbase that's actually nearly 6 inches shorter than a Toyota Corolla, you get nearly 6 cubic feet more of cargo space and room for five passengers. Inside, the front seats are perfectly adequate for adults, and the back has plenty of headroom even for tall people. There's not as much legroom in the back--as you'd expect in a compact--but it's still perfect for kids. You'll also appreciate that the controls are all within easy reach, and the driver's seat is six-way power adjustable with good road visibility. Trims and Options There are three trims--LS, LT, and Premier--and just one choice for engine on the Trax. What you get is a 1.4-liter, turbocharged engine that will give you 138hp. It has good acceleration and returns a firm ride. Most drivers are pleasantly surprised at how responsive and stable it is to drive. The lower trims come in vinyl and the Premium in synthetic leather. All trims have a 7-inch touchscreen and an easy-to-use infotainment system that works with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. At the Premier trim, you also get a Bose sound system that really kicks things up a notch. Performance This SUV is a true crossover. It's not made to take you on long, rugged off-roading adventures--it's made to perform brilliantly on narrow roads and tight parking spaces while still providing plenty of room for the family and enough power to get you out of town for the occasional trip. The steering is very responsive in tight situations and at slow speeds, and the brakes perform beautifully. Look and Feel This crossover is priced and designed for those looking to break into the SUV segment, often for the first time. That said, Chevy has done amazingly well at creating a budget SUV that doesn't look as budget as it is. The Trax has a rugged look, doesn't stand out in any offensive way, and has a modern, sleek look to it. And while the back seats are designed for holding car seats and boosters rather than delivering amazing comfort for adult passengers, the front seats deliver in comfort and roominess. Safety Features The Trax can be equipped with a variety of safety features, like lane-departure alert, rear cross-traffic alert, rear park assist, and blind-spot monitoring. The IIHS gave the Trax a Good rating for 2020, and the NHTSA gives it 5/5 stars for five of the test categories and a 4/5 in the rollover category. The Chevy Trax is a great family vehicle and comes at just the right price for those looking for a crossover. Why not give it a test drive at Glasscock Chevrolet today?

A dead battery happens to almost everyone at least once, and when it does, you'll want to know how to jump start a car. If you don't do it correctly, you could end up damaging your vehicle's engine. Follow these basic steps to safely jump start your car's battery. Step 1: Park the Car With the Working Battery Close to the Front of Your Car The best position for jump starting your car is for the vehicle with the working battery to park nose-to-nose with your car, with the front bumpers almost touching. You want to get as close as possible so the jumper cables will reach from the good battery to your dead one. Of course, if your battery is in the rear of your car, park nose-to-rear-bumper instead. Step 2: Identify the Battery Terminals The terminals of your battery are the points to which you will connect the jumper cables. One is marked with a + (positive) sign and the other is marked with a - (negative) sign. Your positive terminal will likely be covered by a rubber cap, which you will need to remove before connecting the cables. Step 3: Connect the Cables to the Battery Terminals This is the most critical step. Your cables are color-coded red and black to correspond with the positive (red) and negative (black) terminals. Be sure the metal clamps at the end of the cables don't touch each other. Place the red clamp onto the dead battery's positive terminal and set the black clamp onto a plastic component of your vehicle. Attach the red clamp on the other end of the cable to the positive terminal of the good battery. Attach the black clamp on that same end of the cable to the negative terminal of the good battery. Return to your car, but do not attach the black clamp to the dead battery's negative terminal. Instead, attach it to a nearby, bare-metal bolt. Attaching the clamp to the battery could cause it to spark and ignite into a fire. Check that all clamps are tight by wiggling them to ensure they do not come off their positions. Step 4: Start the Engines Ensure that the cables are not tangled in any moving parts, then start the car with the good battery. Allow it to run for a few minutes to provide a small charge to your car's battery. Attempt to start your car. If it still won't start, turn off your car and wait another 10 minutes or so, then try again. If it doesn't start this time, your battery is probably beyond repair and you'll need to replace it. Step 5: Remove Jumper Cables Once your car does start, leave it running. Disconnect the jumper cables by first removing the black clamp on the bare-metal bolt. Then, remove the red clamp from your car's positive terminal, making sure the ends never come close to touching. Place both ends on the ground before disconnecting the red clamp from the good battery's positive terminal, then the black clamp from the negative terminal. Step 6: Have Your Battery Inspected After you get your car running and fully charge the battery, bring it in to a service shop to have it inspected. Factory-trained technicians will be able to tell you if the battery is still good or if that or another part of your vehicle (like the alternator) needs to be repaired or replaced. A jump start is hard on your battery, so you should only do it if you absolutely have to. However, always bring your car in to be checked out after a jump start.

They designed an SUV in this segment that features a third row that adults could sit comfortably in. The Tahoe's rear seats offer 35 inches of legroom and enough headroom that even long road trips are easy to enjoy. With this newly upsized row, the Tahoe increases its maximum seating capacity to potentially nine adults. Under the Hood The powertrain options of the 2021 Tahoe will put a smile on your face. The two V8 gas-powered engines deliver 355 horsepower from a 5.3-liter and 420 horsepower from a 6.2-liter. Also joining the team is a six-cylinder 3.0-liter diesel engine that generates an outstanding 460 lb-ft of torque. Optimal Cargo Space The practicality of the 2021 Tahoe is unmatched by any other vehicle in its class. It boasts 25 cubic feet of cargo space with all rows up and a cavernous 72 cubic feet when folding down the third row. If you have a set of canoes you want to transport, you can fold the second row down and access a whopping 123 cubic feet of cargo space. As Tough As It Is Gorgeous Luckily, if you do have a set of canoes you want to haul you won't need to fold down any seats to transport them. Apart from being a gorgeous and luxurious SUV, the 2021 Tahoe also boasts a class-leading towing capacity. When properly equipped, the Tahoe can pull up to 8,400 pounds.
