2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Ride and Handling

The Chevy Silverado 1500 offers excellent ride and handling that makes all of us here, at your committed Kent Chevrolet Dealership excited to offer this outstanding truck. Thanks to the Silverado’s fully boxed frame, the truck is strong enough to handle heavy workloads and large towing jobs. And the way the Silverado smooth handling works with its rigid fully boxed frame, coil-over-shock front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering, all tied together with advanced engineering and manufacturing techniques evident throughout the entire truck create a smoother ride. The Silverado’s solid chassis results in a stronger base for towing. As a result of these elements the Chevy Silverado is given precise and smooth handling.

The 2012 Chevy Silverado 1500 Is loaded with responsive active handling features that ensure your safety and others around you. In order to maintain control of your vehicle on all surfaces, antilock braking is standard on all Silverados. The StabiliTrak Stability Control System and the Roll Avoidance feature—which helps reduce the chance of rollover in a collision—are standard on all Silverado 1500s as well. StabiliTrak uses sensors to detect if the Silverado is following the drivers intended course or not and helps the driver maintain control of their truck with automatic braking and traction control assistance, if needed.

The Silverado XFE and LTZ models have the segment exclusive G80 automatic locking rear differential standard, and it’s available in all other Silverado models as well. The G80 grants the Silverado unparalleled traction control. If one wheel begins to spin the locking differential will correct the spin. This means that the Silverado actually has real 4-wheel drive capability and control, whereas the competition has only partially locking differentials at best. Trailer Sway Control and Hill Start Assist are standard features on all Silverados except for the hybrid model. Trailer sway Control detects trailer sway and automatically uses the trucks brakes and powertrain to correct the trailer and the truck. Silverados equipped with the integrated trailer brake controller also automatically engaged the trailer’s brakes to control sway, as well as the truck’s brakes and powertrain. Hill Start Assist leaves the brakes of the Silverado engaged when on a steep grade for a few seconds after braking or until the gas pedal is pushed down. This effectively eliminates back roll.

At Art Gamblin Motors, we know that the Chevy Silverado is the most capable and precise handling truck in its class. So we invite you to come test drive a new Chevrolet Silverado with us here in Enumclaw Washington and experience the Silverado’s high level of performance and comfort for yourself.

Safety:For increased safety, the front shoulder belts of the Chevrolet Impala are height-adjustable, and the rear seats have child car seat anchors. The Dodge Charger has only front height-adjustable seat belts and child safety anchors.

The great range of powertrain options available on the Silverado means that you will be able to customize a truck that fits your exact economic, power and performance needs. 2012 Silverado 1500 white The first level of the Silverado 1500’s powertrain options offers the Vortec 4.3L V6 engine—standard on the Work Truck (WT) model. The Vortec V6 is a tough, efficient, cost-effective engine. The V6 delivers 195 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft of torque. That’s enough power to get the job done well and efficiently. The Silverado WT offers solid capability and performance and it does it with an EPA estimated 20 highway MPG! This powertrain option offers excellent value.
 The Silverado 1500 has two available transmission options. The standard WS, LS and LT model transmission is a 4-speed automatic with tow/haul mode. The other transmission option is the 6-speed automatic with tow/haul mode and tap-up tap-down shifting.

2012 Silverado 1500

2012 Ford F-150 vs 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

2012 Silverado 1500 vs Ford F-150
At your Sumner Chevrolet Dealership we recognize that the Chevy Silverado is the best truck in its segment, hands down. The Ford F-150 just can’t compete with the Silverado on any level. The Silverado has greater power, performance, handling, safety and functionality. Below is a short sampling of some of the ways the Chevrolet Silverado outperforms the Ford F-150: 

Safety: For increased safety, the front shoulder belts of the Chevrolet Silverado are height-adjustable, and the rear seats have child car seat anchors. The Ford F-150 has only front height-adjustable seat belts and child safety anchors. The Silverado’s standard pretensioning seatbelts sense rear collisions and tighten the front seatbelts accordingly to protect passengers from injuries including whiplash. The F-150 doesn’t offer a whiplash protection system. The Chevrolet Silverado has Daytime Running Lights that keep it visible under all conditions. The F-150 doesn’t offer Daytime Running Lights. These are just a few of the superior safety features in the Silverado that the Super Duty fails to provide. 

Warranty: Chevrolet’s powertrain warranty covers the Silverado 40,000 miles longer than Ford covers the F-150! The Silverado’s corrosion warranty is also one year longer than the F-150’s. Clearly Chevrolet is more confident in the quality and durability of the Silverado than Ford is of its F-150. 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vs Ford F-150
Fuel Economy and Range: On the EPA test cycle the Silverado gets better fuel mileage than the F‑150. An engine control system that can shut down half of the engine’s cylinders helps improve the Silverado 5.3/6.0 V8’s fuel efficiency. The F‑150 doesn’t offer a system that can shut down part of the engine. 

Suspension and Handling: For better handling and stability, the track on the Silverado is wider than the F‑150’s. Engine vibration in the Silverado’s cab is almost totally eliminated because of the Silverado 5.3/6.0 V8’s liquid-filled front engine mounts. The F-150 uses inferior solid rubber engine mounts.For better traction, the Silverado has larger standard tires than the F‑150. The Silverado’s optional tires are larger than the largest tires available on the F‑150. This further contributes to the Silverado’s superior handling.  In an emergency stopping situation, many drivers don’t press the brakes hard enough to stop their vehicle fast enough. The Silverado has a standard brake assist system to detect emergency braking situations and will then automatically apply maximum braking immediately. The F‑150 doesn’t offer a brake assist feature. 

Interior space and Storage: The Silverado has more passenger volume than the F-150. The Silverado’s cargo box is larger than the F‑150’s and the Silverado has stake post holes; which allow the containment of tall loads. The F‑150 doesn’t offer stake post holes. 

Payload: The Silverado has a higher standard payload capacity than the F‑150—allowing you to more work with a Silverado than an F-150. 

Awards: The Silverado was chosen as one of Car and Driver’s “Top Five Trucks” four times. At Art Gamblin Motors, we know that the Chevy Silverado simply dominates its segment.

So we invite you to come test drive a new Chevrolet Silverado with us here in Enumclaw Washington and experience the Silverado’s high level of power and performance 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 have always treated all our customers as family. Come 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! 

2012 Chevrolet Cruze Reliability and Design

2012 Chevrolet Cruze

We here at your Chevrolet Puyallup dealership are committed to offering our customers cars that exceed the expectations of modern standards for quality, reliability and durability. Chevy is proud to present the Chevrolet Cruze, which manages to redefine what quality means for its segment with innovative leaps in superior design. The tough body-on-frame platform of the Chevy Cruze also helps to provide a rigid structure common among heavy-duty trucks and SUVs. The high quality and durability of the Cruze goes right down to its very core with its powerful body-frame-integral design. This means that the frame and body of the Cruze is one strong cohesive unit which also contributes to outstanding handling and a quite comfortable driving experience.

Pivotal areas of the Cruze such as the A and B pillars, side beams and rockers are constructed of high-strength steel and many of the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze’s parts are constructed of hydroformed steel. On top of that, the Cruze uses a cast iron block and aluminum cylinder head as well. These quality materials allow the Cruze to be stronger, more durable, and light. These are just a small sampling of the high-grade materials used throughout the Cruze. The parts used in the Cruze, such as platinum tipped spark plugs and extended-life engine coolant; make room for greater durability in the Cruze and very infrequent maintenance intervals. The electric power assist steering system in the Cruze also eliminates the need for any steering fluid—thus adding to the low level of maintenance required. Many anti-corrosion measures have been taken in the Cruze, such as the use of 2-sided galvanized steel and electro coat primer, which stop corrosion and rust from forming on your car.

Chevrolet also offers the best premium limited warranty with all of its vehicles, including the Cruze. The warranty includes: 5-year/100,000-mile limited protection with no deductable—which includes courtesy transportation and roadside assistance; and 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper coverage; all of which is fully transferable. When you combine the excellent design and quality materials used to build the Cruze, with Chevrolet’s incredible warranty program—you are given with the highest quality, most durable and reliable vehicle in its segment by leaps and bounds.
