It's time to visit the Chevy dealer because the 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 is here. With numerous powertrain options, a higher towing capacity than some close competitors, and desirable tech features, it's definitely a truck that you'll want to get to know. Great Powertrain Variety Six of the Silverado 1500's trims have the 310 hp 2.7-liter TurboMax gas engine as their standard powertrain. It produces an impressive 430 lb-ft of torque. If you prefer a V8 engine, then there are two options available. The 5.3-liter EcoTec V8 produces 335 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque. The 6.2-liter version pumps out 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. Finally, if you're looking for a diesel engine, then you'll want to check out the Duramax 3-liter Turbo-Diesel. It's the brawniest of the bunch with an output of 305 hp and 495 lb-ft of torque. This strong engine enables the truck to tow up to 13,300 pounds. Highly Functional Tailgate You can configure the Silverado 1500's tailgate in six ways. It has different functions that suit different uses. The primary gate opens regularly the way the tailgate on all trucks does. It also has a load stop to make transporting extra-long items more secure. If you need easy access to the truck bed, then you can fold down the inner gate. The inner gate can also be folded down into a wide, sturdy step to make it easy to climb into the bed. If you have second-tier items that you need to keep secure, then you can use the inner gate load stop to prevent them from slipping out of the truck bed. Finally, if you need to do some work on the go, then the inner gate can be configured into a standing desk. In-Command Technology There's a 13.4-inch touchscreen available with wireless smartphone compatibility and numerous built-in apps. A 12.3-inch driver information center is also available and can be equipped with or without the 13.4-inch touchscreen. These screens allow easy monitoring of driving stats, access to functions like built-in Google, and access to Connected Services. The hands-free driving technology that's available is the most impressive tech feature on the Silverado 1500. With SuperCruise, you can let your truck handle the steering and speed controls so you can drive hands-free on 400,000 miles of roads across North America and Canada. Easy Trailering Towing is made easy on the Silverado 1500. There are eight cameras available that provide 14 views around the truck so you can keep track of everything that's going on around the trailer. A trailer line zone alert feature makes it even safer to tow, and the available Trailering App adds even more useful features. Are you interested in taking the Silverado 1500 out for a test drive?

Chevrolet's Camaro has been dominating the streets since its debut back in 1966, and each generation's Camaro has brought with it a new standard for muscle cars. The fact that the 2024 Chevy Camaro is the current generation's last iteration makes us feel bittersweet, but we also feel lucky to offer the final sixth-generation Camaro at our Chevy dealership. 1. More Than Ample Power The first three trims 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT have a 3.6-liter six-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission. If you would rather have an automatic, the ten-speed paddle-shift auto transmission is available on all three models. The LT1, 1SS, and 2SS models trade the 3.6-liter for a 6.2-liter eight-cylinder engine, while the final ZL1 trim grants drivers a massive 6.2-liter Supercharged eight-cylinder direct-injection engine. The first three trims get 335 horsepower and 285 pounds-per-feet of torque at 6,800 and 5,300 RPMs respectively. The next three trims have 455 horsepower and 455 pounds-per-feet of torque at 6,000 RPM and 4,400 RPM respectively. The final trim will never leave you desiring more power thanks to its 650 horsepower at 6,400 RPM and 650 pounds-per-feet of torque at 3,600 RPM. 2. Countless Cabin Comforts All four passengers inside the Camaro's cabin can enjoy an unrivaled sound system complete with six surrounding speakers meticulously placed in the cabin for optimal room-filling sound. The ergonomic infotainment system includes Bluetooth® for up to two simultaneous device connections, voice commands, and wireless Apple and Android compatibility. You can access these and all your preferred Chevrolet applications through the onboard seven-inch diagonal touchscreen. 3. The Camaro Collector Edition You can opt for this package on any 2024 Camaro trim and turn your ride into a commemorative honor of everything the Camaro has accomplished in the last five decades. This edition comes with an exterior badge, a steering wheel badge, and the Collector logo on the spoiler stripe and the floor mats. For the base 1LT, the TL1, and the SS trims, this package offers a Panther Black metallic exterior tint coat while the ZL1 version is matte black. This package also includes 20-inch five-split-spoke forged aluminum black wheels with black lug nuts and the silver Camaro logo on the wheel center caps. For the base model 1LT, the rest of the package includes a black lower grille with glossy black inserts, a sporty rear spoiler, outside mirrors done in black satin, and a front splitter done in metallic Carbon Flash. You won't find a more refined drive than the 2024 Camaro, and you won't find it for a better price than at our dealership. Since this is the last year for the current Camaro generation, now's your chance to grab one for yourself. Visit us as soon as you can here at Tri-City Chevrolet GMC to check out the Camaro!

For many drivers, financing challenges are the biggest hurdles to overcome when it's time to buy a new car. Financing through a traditional lender, such as a credit union or a bank, can be unattainable for many drivers because of strict eligibility requirements. However, car financing at your Chevy dealer is both convenient and easily accessible. 1. Competitive Rates Your dealership offers competitive interest rates on auto loans and leases. These competitive rates can come from local banks that partner with your dealership or from the manufacturer's finance arm. Finding a finance package with competitive rates is essential, since this will impact the overall cost of your auto loan and your monthly payments. If your interest rate is high, your monthly payments will be higher, and the overall cost of your loan over the course of your loan term will be more expensive. A lower interest rate will make your monthly payments stretch further to pay down the principal balance of your loan more quickly. 2. Fast Approval Pre-approval for an auto loan is an important step when you are shopping for a new vehicle. When you have fast approval from an online credit application, you can shop for a vehicle within your budget with confidence. At your dealership, loan pre-approval may be granted in a matter of hours or days, whereas traditional financial institutions may take much longer. 3. Flexible Finance Terms The terms of your auto loan can have a major impact on your monthly payment. Flexible finance terms can help you fit the cost of your monthly vehicle payments into your budget more comfortably. At the dealership, you will be able to choose from a wider range of terms for your loan. A loan with a shorter term will usually have higher monthly payments, while a loan with a longer term will have more affordable monthly payments. 4. Diverse Creditworthiness One challenge for many borrowers is creditworthiness. If you have good or excellent credit, then you generally won't need to worry about loan approval because you have a good credit history. However, if your creditworthiness has taken a hit because of previous missed payments, or you have poor credit, you might not be able to get a loan from a traditional lender. A dealership, on the other hand, will work with you even if you have bad credit. 5. Extended Warranty Programs You can also benefit from extended warranty programs when you get an auto loan from your dealership. If you are purchasing a used or certified pre-owned vehicle, adding an extended warranty at the time of your vehicle purchase can protect your investment. The finance department can bundle the cost of the extended warranty into your monthly auto payment. Accessibility is the biggest advantage of dealership financing. With fast auto loan approval, competitive interest rates, and customizable finance packages, even borrowers with poor credit can find an ideal auto loan at the dealership.
