The Chevrolet Pickup - An American Icon of Excellence Enduring To This Day

By Palmer Davis

Chevy trucks have been branded over the years for being very tough trucks. Referred to in ads as being "Like a Rock," the public knows to expect a very durable pick-up truck from Chevrolet every year. The 2008 model year demonstrated Chevrolet's dedication to creating the best trucks in the industry by introducing three uniquely outstanding truck models to the world. That is why the Avalanche, Colorado, and Silverado are the best trucks in their class. Check out Chevy auto parts online to see what is available.



Dependability is key to tough guys who need to travel over rough terrain and the Chevy Silverado fills the bill. It has been said that Chevy owners are so confident of the durability of their trucks, that their Chevy truck would be a perfect inheritance for future generations to come. Chevy trucks are more durable overall and has a wide variety of features to make it the industry leader. Silverado's powerful 6.6L V8Turbo diesel with a six-speed automatic transmission can take on any rough roads or terrain while also providing a smooth highway drive. The cab's rear door is able to swing open an amazing 170-degrees. For hauling things in the back seat, this makes it really easy to reach everything in the cab.

For a sport truck, you can't beat the power and towing capacity of an Avalanche. This particular truck has a midgate system that allows the pickup bed to reach into the backseat area. As you let down the midgate, the removable wall that separates the cabin from the bed, you will find that there is plenty of room for storage. You could even sleep there if you needed. Talk about a truck bed! Outdoor enthusiasts really love the sporty flexibility of this midgate feature. It is very easy to slide two sleeping bags into the truck bed, so it eliminates the need to pitch a tent.

Environmentally conscious truck drivers will love to have a fuel-saving truck that can also same performance. The Chevy Colorado is now using a smaller 3.5L engine and still packing a nice punch. As a model co-developed with the Japanese manufacturer Isuzu, this pick-up truck has all the much sought after features such as durability, flexibility, comfort and power all rolled into one.

Because there are times when trucks have to go long distances with a load, it was a great idea by Chevrolet to make more options for entertainment and communications. Equipped with CD/MP3 entertainment and state-of-the-art Radio Data System compatible radio systems, Chevy outdoes itself. The latest Avalanche model offers blue tooth, navigation radio, XM satellite, and OnStar. Everything you need to stay connected to the world.

GM actually now uses a new technology that can save on gas. It is called the Active Fuel Management system. Switching from 8 cylinder to a fuel-saving four cylinder mode, this technology helps increase the overall fuel savings of the truck by lessing the gasoline used while not under a heavy load. The truck's electronic system does this on the fly without manual intervention.

Chevrolet let the world know that it was dedicated to changing the status quo when it came to environmental issues and their trucks. They incorporated the latest E85 ethanol blended fuel technology into their latest truck models. There are many benefits to burning ethanol. Ethanol mix E85 is a cleaner burning fuel that releases less green house gases into the environment. It is important that automobile companies like Chevrolet puts the tools in the hands of consumers to use the latest ethanol fuel mixes for the sake of climate change.
