The 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500HD ZR2 is a heavy-duty truck that is designed to work hard and play hard. With beefy 35-inch mud-terrain tires, a lifted suspension, and spool-valve dampers, this truck is like an off-road semi-truck. It is the off-road pinnacle of the brand's heavy-duty truck lineup and comes with exclusive equipment, including a gigantic grille featuring the company's "flowtie" and ZR2 badges, different moldings around its wheel arches, and red front tow hooks. This fun-loving ZR2 joins the hard-working heavy-duty lineup and is only available on the 2500HD model configured with the crew-cab body style and standard-size cargo bed. Every Silverado 2500HD ZR2 boasts exclusive equipment, including a set of 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory M/T tires mounted on black 18-inch multispoke wheels, making them the first factory-installed 35-inch tires on a Silverado. These tires pair with Multimatic DSSV spool-valve dampers, exotic shocks that use three separate spool valves to withstand off-road abuse and aid on-road composure. more The ZR2 Bison, the offspring of Chevy's partnership with aftermarket supplier American Expedition Vehicles (AEV), comes with additional equipment that helps it survive bigger beatings. The Bison alone comes with steel-stamped front and rear bumpers with recovery points and a winch accommodation, and tough bash plates. Underneath the Bison, there are a set of AEV-specific 18-inch wheels painted in gloss black. While the Bison has a slightly steeper breakover angle than the regular ZR2, the opposite is true of their approach angles, where the AEV model peaks at 29.8 degrees compared with 32.5 degrees. Their departure angle is identical at 25.7 inches, and ground clearance is similarly close at 11.6—11.7 inches. Inside, the ZR2 benefits from updates included with the Silverado HD's recent refresh. The interior materials are easy to clean, and the leather-appointed seats and dark trim look handsome. There's a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster to go along with a 13.4-inch touchscreen for the infotainment system, which also provides access to the surround-view camera system. The truck also has a large head-up display and a wireless charging pad on the full-length center console. With four-wheel drive and an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission as standard, buyers can choose between the base 401-hp gas-fed 6.6-liter V-8 or the optional Duramax diesel 6.6-liter V-8, which generates a substantial 470 horses and 975 pound-feet of torque. The gas engine supports 16,000 pounds of conventional towing and up to nearly 3400 pounds of payload. While the diesel has a higher tow rating (18,500 pounds), its payload capacity is capped at 3200 pounds. The 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500HD ZR2 is a perfect blend of hard-working and fun-loving, offering excellent off-road capability and powerful performance for all your work and play needs.

The Chevrolet Blazer is back, and this time as an all-electric SUV for 2024. Chevy's move into the electric realm is impressive, and the Blazer EV is a model that will leave drivers impressed. The Blazer EV is an all-new model within the Blazer family and comes with its own distinct body and interior. The vehicle will be offered in four different trims, including the 1LT, 2LT, RS, and SS. The mid-range 2LT and RS models will be the first to hit the market in summer 2023, while the top-spec SS trim will follow shortly thereafter, going on sale before the end of 2023. The 1LT trim will join the lineup in early 2024. Chevrolet hasn't released horsepower figures for the 1LT, 2LT, or RS models yet, but the range-topping SS model will come exclusively with a 557-hp electric powertrain with standard all-wheel drive. The 1LT is available only in a front-wheel drive arrangement, while 2LT models can be had with either front- or all-wheel drive. The RS model comes standard with either front- or rear-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive optional. more Technology Packed One of the most impressive features of the Blazer EV is its battery technology. The Blazer EV uses General Motors’ Ultium battery technology, which is a significant advancement in battery technology. The RS trim has the most range and is said to go about 320 miles on a charge. The entry-level 1LT model will deliver around 247 miles per charge, while the 2LT and SS trims offer a claimed range of 293 and 290 miles, respectively. The Blazer EV will be capable of charging on a DC fast charger, and Chevrolet says it can charge at up to 190 kW and add about 78 miles of range in just 10 minutes. The Blazer EV is strictly a two-row affair, with a sporty interior-design motif that nicely matches the SUV’s aggressive exterior styling. The RS and SS trims feature a two-tone black-and-red color scheme, while a more monotone look is available for those who don’t appreciate the flash. All models come with a large 17.7-inch infotainment display that’s canted slightly toward the driver and framed on the left and the bottom by physical controls for the climate control system and a volume knob. A secondary 11.0-inch display presents the driver with gauges and other driving info. We expect to see plenty of standard connectivity features such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot. Super Cruise and Driver Assistance Features Chevrolet is bundling a host of driver assistance features together as standard, including automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and a parking assist feature. GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driving system is also available. Chevrolet provides standard coverage limits for the Blazer EV’s electric-powertrain components, which includes the first maintenance visit. The Blazer EV is an impressive all-electric SUV from Chevrolet, and it is clear that the automaker is serious about its move into the electric car market. With impressive range, advanced battery technology, and a host of standard safety and driver assistance features, the Blazer EV is a solid choice for those looking for an electric SUV. Blazer EV

If you're considering purchasing an electric vehicle (EV) in 2023, it might be worth looking into a used one to take advantage of the revamped federal tax credit up to $4,000. In this blog post, we'll go over what we know about how the Bolt EV qualifies for the used EV tax credit. The $7,500 federal tax credit has been extended for new EV purchases under revised qualifying terms, but those current requirements leave a very limited number of current EVs that qualify. Many automakers are already pivoting their business strategies to move EV and battery assembly to US soil to once again qualify, but it will take time to establish those facilities and get them up and running. In a perfect world for consumers, any and all used EV purchases would qualify for tax credits from the US government, but that's unfortunately not the case. As part of revised terms in the Inflation Reduction Act signed by President Biden, federal tax credits have been extended and include revamped benefits for used EV purchases, as long as they fit certain criteria. more To qualify as a customer, you must: Be an individual who bought the vehicle for use and not for resale Must be an individual (no businesses) Not be the original owner Not be claimed as a dependent on another person's tax return Not have claimed another used clean vehicle credit in the 3 years before the EV purchase date Modified adjusted gross income must not exceed $75k for individuals, $112,500 for heads of households, and $150k for joint returns Additionally, in order for a used EV to qualify for federal tax credits, it must: Have a sale price of $25,000 or less Have a model year at least 2 years earlier than the calendar year when you buy it Not have already been transferred after August 16, 2022, to a qualified buyer Have a gross vehicle weight rating of fewer than 14,000 pounds Be an eligible fuel cell vehicle (FCV) or plug-in EV with a battery capacity of least 7-kilowatt hours (kWh) Be for use primarily in the United States Purchased from a certified dealer A used vehicle qualifies for tax credit only once in its lifetime The Bolt EV from Chevrolet (GM) is an all-electric model that currently qualifies for the full $4,000 tax credit. As always, we recommend speaking with a tax professional and EV dealer directly to ensure what you and your new vehicle qualify for. Make/Model/Year(s) Full Tax Credit CHEVROLET (GM) Bolt EV (2017-2021) $4,000 Spark EV (2014-2016) $4,000 Whether it's a new or used EV purchase that ends up being right for you, you may still be able to take advantage of additional perks at the state level, depending on where you live. Credits, exemptions, and other benefits could be available for an EV purchase, lease, or relevant equipment like home charger installation. A used EV might be the way to go in 2023 to take advantage of the federal tax credit up to $4,000.  Make sure to do your own research and speak with a tax professional directly. Stay up to date on our 2017-2021 Bolts we have available for sale by clicking the link below. This will have all the 2017-2021 Bolts with a sales price up to $25,000. We can help with vehicle eligibility questions on these vehicles. You will need to cover your personal income questions with your tax professional to see about eligibility on that front.

As we become more aware of the impact of climate change, the transportation sector is quickly becoming a key area of focus for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. One option for reducing emissions is to switch from gasoline-powered vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs). While EVs have some clear advantages over gas-powered vehicles, there are also some challenges to consider when deciding whether to switch. more Pros of owning an electric vehicle: Environmentally friendly: The most obvious advantage of EVs is their environmentally friendly nature. EVs produce no tailpipe emissions and have a much lower carbon footprint than gasoline-powered vehicles. This means that driving an EV can help reduce air pollution and mitigate the impacts of climate change. Lower operating costs: EVs have lower operating costs than gas-powered vehicles. The cost of electricity is generally much lower than gasoline, and EVs require less maintenance since they have fewer moving parts. In the long run, owning an EV can be more cost-effective than owning a gas-powered vehicle. Energy independence: EVs can help reduce reliance on oil and foreign oil imports, providing greater energy independence and reducing the risk of oil price shocks. EV owners can charge their vehicles at home, meaning they have greater control over their energy supply. Smooth and quiet ride: EVs are much quieter and smoother than gasoline-powered vehicles because they have fewer moving parts. This makes for a more comfortable driving experience. Tax credits: Depending on where you live, you may be eligible for federal and state tax credits and incentives for purchasing an EV. These incentives can help offset the higher initial cost of purchasing an EV. Cons of owning an electric vehicle: Limited range: EVs typically have a shorter driving range than gasoline-powered vehicles, so they may not be suitable for long road trips. However, the range of EVs is improving rapidly, and many models now offer ranges that can accommodate most daily driving needs. High upfront costs: EVs are often more expensive than comparable gasoline-powered vehicles. However, as battery technology improves and production volumes increase, EV prices are expected to continue to decline. Charging infrastructure: Depending on where you live, charging infrastructure may be limited, making it difficult to charge your vehicle on the go. However, this is also improving rapidly, and many cities and states are investing in charging infrastructure to support the growing number of EVs on the road. Charging time: It takes longer to charge an EV than to fill up a gasoline-powered vehicle, so you'll need to plan ahead if you're going on a long trip. However, this is also improving rapidly, and many newer EV models offer fast-charging capabilities that can significantly reduce charging times. Battery life and replacement costs: The battery pack in an EV is expensive to replace, and the battery's lifespan may be shorter than the life of the vehicle itself. However, as battery technology improves, battery lifetimes are expected to increase, and the cost of replacement batteries is expected to decline. Owning an EV has both pros and cons. While EVs are more environmentally friendly, have lower operating costs, and offer a smooth and quiet ride, they also have some challenges, such as limited range, high upfront costs, and charging infrastructure. However, as technology improves and infrastructure expands, the advantages of owning an EV will become even more compelling, making the switch to an EV an attractive option for many drivers. As an EV owner, I can easily recommend an EV as a second vehicle in a two-vehicle family. They make getting around town an absolute joy and extremely cost-effective. For single-car families, or those living in an apartment without a place to charge, the EV movement may have to wait until the technology improves. Shop Our EVs

Aluminum Advantages Aluminum is a versatile and lightweight metal that has become increasingly popular in transportation. Many truck owners are now choosing aluminum for their flatbeds because of its numerous advantages over traditional steel beds. In this article, we will explore the value of using aluminum for the metal in your flatbed on your truck. First and foremost, aluminum is incredibly lightweight. This is a significant advantage when it comes to hauling cargo. A lighter truck means a higher payload capacity, ultimately leading to more profits for your business. Moreover, the lighter weight of an aluminum flatbed translates into better fuel efficiency for your vehicle. By reducing the weight of your truck, you can save on gas expenses, which can be a considerable benefit for long hauls. In addition to its lightweight properties, aluminum is highly corrosion-resistant. Unlike steel, which is prone to rust and other forms of deterioration, aluminum is much more durable and resistant to the elements. This makes it a better choice for those who live in areas with high humidity, frequent rain, or salty air. An aluminum flatbed can withstand the test of time and provide many years of reliable service. Another advantage of aluminum is that it is easy to maintain. It doesn't require the same level of maintenance as steel, which can be time-consuming and costly. With aluminum, you can simply wash your flatbed regularly with soap and water to keep it clean and debris-free. Moreover, it doesn't require any painting or coating to prevent rust, which can save you a lot of money over time. Moreover, aluminum is highly customizable. You can have it fabricated in virtually any shape or size, making it an ideal choice for those requiring custom flatbeds. You can easily modify your aluminum flatbed to suit your needs and requirements, whether you need to haul heavy machinery, equipment, or oversized cargo. Aluminum can also be easily welded, so it can be repaired quickly and efficiently. more Finally, aluminum is an eco-friendly option. It is fully recyclable, meaning it can be reused and repurposed at the end of its lifespan. This makes it a more sustainable choice than other metals, which can take hundreds of years to decompose in landfills. By choosing aluminum for your flatbed, you are consciously trying to reduce your carbon footprint and protect the environment. There are many benefits to using aluminum for the metal in your flatbed on your truck. From its lightweight properties to its resistance to corrosion, ease of maintenance, customizability, and eco-friendliness, aluminum is an excellent choice for truck owners who need a durable and reliable flatbed that can withstand the test of time. If you are considering a flatbed for your truck, consider the value of using aluminum. Steel Advantages Steel has been a popular choice for truck flatbeds for many years due to its durability and strength. Although other materials, such as aluminum and composite materials, have become more common, steel still has many advantages for those who need a reliable and robust flatbed. We will explore the value of using steel for the metal in your flatbed on your truck. One of the primary benefits of steel is its strength. Steel is an incredibly durable material that can withstand much wear and tear. This makes it an excellent choice for flatbeds that will be used to haul heavy loads, machinery, or equipment. Steel is also resistant to bending and denting, which means it can handle the stress of frequent use without sustaining damage. Moreover, steel is readily available and widely used, making it a cost-effective option. Steel is a well-established material that is readily available from a variety of suppliers. Its popularity also means it is typically less expensive than other materials, such as aluminum or composite materials. If you are on a budget, steel is an affordable choice that still provides excellent value. Another benefit of steel is its toughness. It can handle harsh environments and extreme weather conditions without breaking down or corroding. This is particularly important for those who operate in areas with high humidity, rain, or saltwater. Steel can withstand these conditions without deteriorating, which means it will provide many years of reliable service. Moreover, steel is easy to maintain. It doesn't require any special coatings or treatments to prevent rust or corrosion, making it an easy material to care for. You can easily wash your steel flatbed with soap and water to keep it clean and debris-free. Also, steel is easy to repair in the event of damage, saving you money over time. Finally, steel is a customizable material. It can be fabricated into virtually any shape or size, which means it can be tailored to your needs and requirements. You can easily modify your steel flatbed to accommodate your cargo or to suit your preferences. This flexibility makes it a versatile choice for those who require a customized flatbed. Steel remains a reliable and robust choice for the metal in your flatbed on your truck. Its strength, cost-effectiveness, toughness, ease of maintenance, and customizability make it a valuable option for truck owners who need a flatbed that can handle heavy loads and harsh environments. If you are in the market for a flatbed, steel is certainly worth considering as a material for your truck bed. Our Selection of Beds Our selection of beds includes aluminum and steel.
