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. 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.
