At Art Gamblin Motors we are proud to offer the Silverado HD—a very powerful truck capable of hauling and towing massive payloads. At the same time the Silverado offers smooth and precise control even when towing and hauling. The HD also grants a very comfortable driving experience, even in the roughest conditions. Below is one of the many elements that come together to offer the stellar ride and handling of the 2012 Silverado HD.
Rear End Suspension: The Silverado HD offers an innovative symmetrical leaf spring rear suspension system that allows for greater payloads and reduced wheel hop when accelerating. The Silverado’s leaf springs have an extra wide design, which allow them to handle much more weight. The HD’s rear leaf springs are also asymmetrically designed. This means that the rear section of each spring is longer than the front section which allows them to handle the high torque output of the Silverado HD engine and effectively reduces axel hop. Chassis cab models of the HD still use a conventional non asymmetrical rear suspension—but still include wider springs. This superior new rear end suspension design allows the Silverado HD 2500 to carry 6,200 pounds of weight on its rear axel. The Silverado HD 3500 single rear wheel drive can carry 7,050 pounds on its rear suspension; the Silverado HD 3500 dually can carry 9,375 pounds on its rear end and finally the Silverado HD 3500 Chassis Cab can carry a whopping 9,750 pounds on its rear end!.jpg)
At Art Gamblin Motors, we know that the Chevy Silverado HD is the most powerful and precise handling truck on the market—at an exceptional value. So we invite you to come test drive a new Chevrolet Silverado HD with us here in Enumclaw Washington and experience the Silverado HD’s high level of performance and comfort for yourself. You will surely appreciate our welcoming pressure-free environment staffed by friendly expert sales associates. Most importantly though, we have been family owned and operated for over 40 years, which is why we treat all our customers as family. Come in and see why Art Gamblin Motors is a superior place to buy a vehicle, and you will understand why we are the top online rated Chevrolet dealer in the state!.jpg)

At Art Gamblin Motors in Enumclaw Washington we are proud to present the 2012 Chevy Silverado HD: the most excellent and high value truck in its class. .jpg)
Despite the fact that the Silverado HD has the greatest tow and haul capacity in its class, it still manages to offer a very quite comfortable ride. The Duramax engine has been redesigned to provide 30% quieter engine operation. In addition, enhanced engine, hydraulic and shock mounts serve to drastically reduce vibration and noise from the Silverado’s engine and also the road. Chevrolet went even further in reducing noise by the use of dash and floor sound dampening material, the cast foam interior dash mat; insulation in the transmission tunnel and at the rear of the cab. All of these extensive features result in a remarkably smooth and quite drive experience—even under extreme, work conditions..jpg)
Durability: The Chevy Silverado HD is built to last. Its chassis has been tested under tough conditions and has proven that it can last for over 400,000 miles. The Duramax engine used in the Silverado HD has been a proven workhorse for over a decade. Furthermore, over 1.3 million Duramax engines have been produced, proving that it is a solid dependable engine. However, Chevrolet didn’t just rely on the Duramax’s stellar reputation and record when choosing it for the Silverado HD. Chevy tested the Duramax under conditions that the engine would be under if an owner towed the maximum weight allowable 95% of the time. The result of this test was an engine capable of functioning well under this strain for over 200,000 miles!.jpg)
The fact that the Chevrolet Silverado is such a durable high quality vehicle causes many to be surprised when they find out that Chevy offers all of this at such an outstanding value. The reality is that the cost of ownership for a Chevy Silverado HD is exceptionally low for the quality and dependability it offers. Chevrolet has been able to offer such a low cost of ownership on such a quality truck for many reasons. The Silverado’s impressive fuel economy is a big factor in its low cost of ownership. Silverado features such as OnStar diagnostics and the Oil Life system make it easy to keep your Silverado well maintained, resulting in a longer truck life at a lower cost. High quality parts such as the 100,000-mile iridium spark plugs used in the Silverado HD also contribute to its impressive value..jpg)

Moreover, the Equinox also offers a smooth ride and precise responsive handling. The incredible handling and ride capability of the Equinox is made possible through a variety of elements. But it all starts with the Equinox’ body-frame-integral architecture. This makes the body and frame of the Equinox highly rigid and strong; which allows the Equinox’s suspension to consistently function at the highest levels possible.

The front suspension of the Equinox uses MacPherson strut setup with a direct acting stabilizer bar, which keeps the vehicle flat on the road for superior cornering.
