It’s not uncommon to be driving down the roads of Enumclaw only to be stopped by a herd of cows crossing the street. Livestock and farming are an integral part of our community. One way we continue this legacy and celebrate our heritage is through the local 4-H clubs and community events like the Enumclaw Pro Rodeo. At Gamblin Motors we are proud to support our community and 4-H clubs through sponsorship of the Enumclaw Pro Rodeo.
The rodeo has been an Enumclaw event since the 1950’s when it was formerly part of the Naches Trail Days celebration. At one point the rodeo was the largest in the state, but in more recent years, Enumclaw has not been a stop on the rodeo circuit. A group of local business leaders banded together to bring the rodeo back to Enumclaw and created the 15 member Board of Directors of the Enumclaw Pro Rodeo, Inc. This local non-profit group resurrected an important community event and continues to host and organize the newly returned rodeo. The rodeo proceeds help to support local 4-H clubs, and this year’s 2015 Enumclaw Pro Rodeo also donated proceeds to Support Beau and the Twist Firefighter Fund.
The rodeo’s support of local 4-H clubs and community members is yet another reason why Gamblin Motors continues to sponsor the Enumclaw Pro Rodeo. Gamblin Motors even has its own former bull and bronco riding cowboy, Rick Josie, tirelessly volunteering every year to make sure the rodeo is an Enumclaw tradition that continues for years to come. The rodeo represents the heritage of Enumclaw, and we at Gamblin Motors are proud of our community and our cowboys. If you weren’t able to attend the rodeo this year, be sure to follow Gamblin Motors on Facebook for upcoming information on next year’s rodeo.
At Art Gamblin Motors we are confident that you will find a 2012 Chevrolet Colorado that meets your precise mid-size truck needs and even exceeds your expectations. This is because the excellent ride and handling—like every other aspect of the Colorado—is hugely versatile with a wide range of choices specially designed to meet your precise needs. The Chevy Colorado comes in three distinct suspension systems designed to meet particular needs. At the core of each suspension system, however, is the same great core features that provide the foundation for the Colorado’s superb ride and handling. To begin, the Colorado is manufactured with a strong body-on-frame design that is fully boxed. This results in a solid and highly tough platform for the Colorado that forms the foundation for its excellent suspension.
The Colorado allows for excellent steering and control with its power-assisted rack-and-pinion system. Next, the Colorado’s standard 4-wheel ABS brakes provide great breaking and control along with the standard StabiliTrak Stability Control System. The StabiliTrak system automatically engages the Colorado’s braking and traction control systems to correct any over or under steering. The G80 automatic rear locking differential is available on the Colorado and offers unparalleled traction control that prevents slipping. And the Colorado’s tuned body mounts greatly reduce ride noise. Every suspension system for the Colorado also includes: an independent front suspension and a rear solid live axel.
The three specific suspension options for the Colorado are the Z85, Z71 and ZQ8 suspensions. The Z85 suspension is standard base-level suspension system offers great all-around handling suitable for a wide variety of applications. The Z71 suspension system includes specifically-valved shocks, front torsion bars, urethane jounce bumpers and raises the Colorado’s ride height by one inch. This suspension system is a time-tested excellent set-up for off-road use. The final suspension system is the ZQ8 Sports Suspension. It is significantly stiffer than the other suspensions and also has a lower ride height. This allows the ZQ8 to deliver more precise handling.
The available customization options for the Colorado are immense. That’s why we at Art Gamblin Motors, your
