The Chevy Roundup

The fun just keeps on keeping on during Chevy's truck month. The latest news to reach Chevrolet dealerships comes from the rodeo circuit. That's right. Team Chevy Rodeo, a group of professional rodeo stars, are celebrating Chevy truck month by driving the bow-tied brands heavy-duty haulers, the 2015 Silverado 2500 and 3500, in the high-end High Country trim level. What does that look like? Read on for the inside scoop on riding in the High Country from the automaker that helps you "Find New (high?) Roads..." more The Heavy Duty 2015 Chevy Silverados Now the fastest-growing full-size pickup brand of the 2015 model year, the 2015 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD, and 2500 HD pickup trucks are a rodeo favorite for good reason. Team Chevy Rodeo, which consists of five rodeo stars, Luke Branquinho, Richmond Champion, Tuf Cooper, Fallon Taylor, and Travis Graves, personify the Chevy brand's ideals when it comes to being rugged, versatile, strong, and just plain tough. According to Paul Edwards, the U.S. Vice President of Chevrolet Marketing, "This team is as hardworking on the ranch as they are in the arena. There isn't a more authentic group to convey the message that the Silverado is the most dependable, longest-lasting pickup on the road." Dependability is provided, in part, by the Silverado's robust engines. The standard 6.0-liter V8, for example, generates 360 horsepower and 380 lb.-ft. of torque, which can certainly help you get just about any job done. But, for real muscle, check out the 6.6-liter Duramax diesel V8 engine, which is able to produce 397 horsepower and 765 lb.-ft. of torque. So equipped, the Silverado is operated by an Allison 1000 six-speed automatic transmission, which also features a manual shifting mode. These powertrains conquer the zero to sixty mph performance test between 7.0-7.6 seconds, and makes the standing quarter-mile at 15.6-16.1 seconds, with top speed clocked at 95 mph. Ultimate towing capacity is measured at 23,200 pounds, and maximum payload comes in at 7,180 pounds. Considered number one by Car and Driver for the heavy-duty pickup truck segment, the lucky crew on Team Chevy Rodeo have the added luxury of driving the High Country trim level. Basically, as its name might suggest, the High Country means high-end throughout. The saddle-brown-leather seats, perforated, heated and cooled up front, feature a High Country logo in the middle of the headrests. The exterior showcases chrome detailing just about everywhere, from the front grille complemented by the six-inch chrome side steps, with body-colored front and back bumpers. While the 2500 HD stands atop 20-inch chrome wheels, the 3500 HD works its way with 18-inch chromes, with the dually ready for action on 17-inch forged aluminum wheels. A variety of options comes available to up the comfort, convenience, and even entertainment factors, including a sunroof, heated steering wheel, power adjustable pedals, a rear-seat entertainment system, and navigation technology. Even the truck bed is well thought out, with available cargo tie-down hooks, able to secure up to 250 pounds, an EZ-Lift and Lower Tailgate function, and optional LED lights situated beneath both rails. These are just a few of the high points on the High Country trim in the heavy-duty 2500/3500 Silverado pickup trucks. Swing by Dan Cummins Chevrolet dealership and schedule a test drive in either of these two muscle-bound machines, ready to flex and "Find New Roads."

The 2012 Chevy Corvette: Timeless Performance

If you want to drive an ageless ultimate performance machine, check out the car lots in Lexington, KY for a used or certified pre-owned 2012 Chevy Corvette. Check out the specs below and see why this iconic muscle car defines performance, no matter its age... more The 2012 Chevy Corvette: A Timeless Legacy New for the 2012 model year, Chevy redesigned the Corvette's seats and enlarged the side bolsters. In addition, the bow-tied brand fitted the Corvette with a new steering wheel and made the armrests more plush with added padding. Crank the tunes courtesy of a newly available nine-speaker Bose sound system. As with earlier model years, there are plenty of customizations options and packages for the 2012 Corvette. Available as a coupe or convertible, the entry-level Corvette and Grand Sport (GS) are further divided into sub-trims: 1LT, 2LT, 3LT, and 4LT. The coupe-exclusive Z06 and Z91 have their own sub-trims, with a wealth of various performance features. Starting with the entry-level Corvette and the Grand Sport, expect to drive a 6.2-liter V8 which generates 430 horsepower and 424 lb.-ft. of torque. The standard transmission is provided by the six-speed manual with launch control; however, you can opt for a six-speed automatic transmission. So equipped, the entry-level coupe zipped from zero to sixty mph in 4.5 seconds, according to performance testing done by Edmunds. Operating with the same powertrain, the Grand Sport was quicker by 0.1 seconds, thanks to the available dual-mode exhaust system, which boosts the horsepower to 436 and the torque to 428 lb.-ft. With this drivetrain, the Corvette gets fuel efficiency rated at 16 city, 26 highway, and 19 mpg combined, which drops to 15 city, 26 highway, and 18 mpg combined if you choose the automatic transmission. For optimal performance, the Z06 is outfitted with a 7.0-liter V8 engine, which produces a whopping 505 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque. With this engine, the Z06 crushes the zero to sixty performance test in 3.9 seconds. Despite the enhanced performance, the fuel efficiency ratings remain solid at 15 city, 24 highway, and 18 mpg combined. But, the power doesn't top out there. Check out the ZR1, powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, which roars with 638 horsepower and 604 lb.-ft. of torque. Even though it only returned a 0.1 second faster time than the Z06, behind the wheel, the feel is must faster. As far as fuel economy, the numbers drop a bit to 14 city, 20 highway, and 16 mpg combined. We couldn't care less. After all, who drives a sports car for its fuel economy? Even with all this muscle and power, the 2012 Corvette impressed the Edmunds team during brake testing, with the base model stopping from sixty mph in a respectable 118 feet, the Grand Sport and ZR1 between an outstanding 100 and 104 feet, and finally, the Z06 made the stop in a breathtaking 96 feet - practically a record-setter. We can't imagine a better way to "Find New Roads."

The Future Chevys at Your Chevrolet Dealership

The future Chevys will arrive at Dan Cummins' Chevrolet dealership sooner than later, and the lineup is looking good. Six upcoming models, including the Malibu, Malibu Hybrid, Spark, Camaro, Bolt EV concept, Cruze, and Silverado are ready to be taken for a test drive. But, if waiting is just too hard, the current models have been reviewed to award-winning acclaim. Whether you decide to bide your time or make a purchase today, it's hard to top a Chevy when you want to "Find New Roads." Read on for a quick preview of the six upcoming Chevrolet models ready to launch into the 2016 model year... more Upcoming Chevy Vehicles The bevy of upcoming Chevy vehicles come in a range of sizes from compact cars to mid-size sedans to pickup trucks. Whether you prioritize performance over fuel economy or vice-versa, the new Chevys are sure to deliver. Here's a quick preview of what's to come at Dan Cummins' Chevrolet dealership. Mind you, we can only share what the bow-tied brand has revealed thus far. Keep checking back with us though for more updates as they are released. We'll keep you in the loop... The 2016 Chevy Malibu and Malibu Hybrid We're going to start this preview with a focus on fuel efficiency because both of these Malibu models have it in spades. According to Chevy, the 2016 Malibu is rated at 37 highway mpg, while the new Malibu Hybrid comes in at a whopping 48 city mpg. If you do a great deal of daily driving, or you commute to and from work, this car is ideal for keeping you on the move and sparing you unnecessary stops at the pump - not to mention the expense. Safety is another point to feature here, as both 2016 Malibu models are equipped with a wealth of active and passive safety features. Standard features include the vehicle's high-strength steel safety cage, ten airbags, with a 360-degree sensor able to adjust the bags' inflation, and OnStar technology. The beauty of OnStar technology is that, in the event of an accident, an OnStar advisor is notified. If, for any reason, you are unable to engage with them, he or she will be able to pinpoint your location and send emergency services immediately. For added peace of mind, particularly for parents, both Malibu models offer Teen Driver technology, which ingeniously monitors teenage drivers and mitigates potentially unsafe decisions made behind the wheel. Not wearing seatbelts? Well, they won't be cranking the tunes either. The Teen Driver system immediately mutes all audio after it detects that seatbelts are not in use. Speeding? There's an alert for that, too. All of this can later be reviewed by the teen's parents. They'll hate it, but who cares? Safety first. Other available safety features include Lane Keep Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Forward Collisions Alert, which specifically features Tailgating and Crash Imminent alerts. The 2016 Chevy Spark Small and sweet, not to mention stylish, the 2016 Chevy Spark is fun and fuel efficient. Boasting an impressive 40 highway mpg from its 1.4-liter engine, the Spark is perfectly sized for parking on city streets. Made for the urban jungle, don't let the Spark's size fool you. With an available 27.2 cubic feet of cargo room, you've got enough room for luggage should you decide to escape the city for a weekend getaway. And the colors can't be missed. The eye-catching spectrum includes Toasted Marshmallow, Titanium, Electric Blue, Black Granite, Splash, Silver Ice, Kalamata, Lime, Salsa, and Summit White. With voice pass-through, a technology that integrates your smartphone with Chevy MyLink, you can safely communicate and stay connected behind the wheel. Speaking of safety, the Spark is supported by ten airbags, and four-wheel anti-lock brakes, along with available features like Rear Park Assist. The 2016 Chevy Camaro We'll take a breather from the fuel economy focus and switch over to performance. The classic Chevy muscle car, the iconic Camaro is almost here. And we just cannot wait. Super lightweight and fully customizable, the new Camaro comes as either a coupe or convertible. The convertible features a 100% electronic convertible top that drops at the push of an overhead console button or key fob, even when the car is traveling at speeds up to 30 mph. Three powertrain options are available, starting with the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, rated at 275 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. of torque. Or, if you want to drive the most powerful SS to date, the LT1, equipped with the 6.2-liter V8 engine is able to produce 455 horsepower and 455 lb.-ft. of torque. Finally, the 3.6-liter V6 engine generates 335 horsepower and 284 lb.-ft. of torque, further enhanced by it's Direct Injection, Variable Valve Timing, and available Active Fuel Management on the eight-speed automatic transmission. The 2016 Chevy Bolt EV Concept Technology will be easily accessible on the Bolt's ten-inch diagonal display, and is expected to feature a Bolt Connect application, which will include an automatic park and retrieval function, allowing the driver to tell the Bolt to park itself. That's right, this care will potentially park itself and bring itself to your location when you're ready to go. It's so sci-fi feeling. We can't wait to try it out. Stay tuned for more updates on the production of this latest Chevy concept car. The 2016 Chevy Cruze This athletic compact car shares a few similarities with its sedan sibling, the Malibu. Namely, the distinction of also being the first car in its respective class to feature built-in 4G LTE WiFi. Other shared features include the available safety technologies like Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Keep Assist, and Forward Collision Alert. Outfitted with Chevy's 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, the new Chevy Cruze is anticipated to provide an estimated 40 highway mpg. The 2016 Chevy Silverado A long-standing Chevy favorite, the full-size Silverado 1500 pickup truck really shows off in the new model year, boasting a few "best-in-class" accolades already. Available in eight trim levels: the High Country, LTZ Z71, LTZ, LT Z71, LT, Custom, LS, and Work Truck, the 2016 Silverado 1500 will offer three engine options, each one "best-in-class" for particular performance. The 4.3-liter EcoTec3 engine generates 285 horsepower and 305 lb.-ft. of torque, making it the best in its class. Able to tow up to 7,600 pounds, the 2016 Silverado 1500, so equipped, is rated at 18 city, 24 highway mpg. With the 5.3-liter EcoTec3 engine, the new Silverado is able to produce 355 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft. of torque, with maximum towing rated at 11,000 pounds and fuel efficiency at 16 city and 23 highway mpg, the best in its class. Finally, the 6.2-liter EcoTec3 engine is measured at 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. of torque, with maximum towing at 12,000 pounds, another best-in-class milestone. With this powertrain, the truck's fuel efficiency is estimated at 15 city, 21 highway mpg. Keep checking in with us at Dan Cummins' Chevrolet dealership for more information on these exciting 2016 models. We will update you as Chevy makes more information available. Until then, think about which one was designed to help you personally "Find New Roads."

Latest on the Chevy Bolt EV

We've been taking in all of the Chevy Bolt EV news we can possibly get, and the latest rumblings have to do with the vehicle's interior. Before you head out to a Chevrolet dealer like Dan Cummins, see why you may want to await the release of the electric vehicle… Brandon Turkus of AutoBlog.com got a look inside of the electric sedan, and we've passed along all of that information to you, which you'll find below. more Turkus describes the interior as a blend between the Chevy Sonic and Volt. The traditional instrument cluster has been replaced with a digital display, and that will accompany a large display in the center stack. Furthermore, the center display is reportedly using different software than that of other vehicles, particularly the MyLink system used by Chevy. This may ultimately end up being insignificant, as Turkus is unsure whether the system is solely being used as development software (which would indicate it's not intended for production) or if it's actually the future of the brands "connectivity suite." The writer focuses in on the car's shifter, which he describes as "BMW-like." A "dedicated" park button can be accessed via the driver's thumb, and a trigger on the front presumably can switch the vehicle to either drive or reverse. On the disappointing side, the prototype that Turkus was allowed to check out doesn't seem to have many exterior changes from the previously released spy photos. The car, which was introduced as a concept in January at the Detroit Auto Show and later confirmed in February, is a part of Chevy's electric car grouping, which includes the Volt (plugin hybrid), the Malibu (non-plugin hybrid) and the Spark EV. The Bolt is reportedly capable of going about 200 miles on a single charge. "We have experienced 200 miles. We're pretty confident in that," Pam Fletcher, General Motors' executive chief engineer for electric vehicles, told Greg Gardner of the Detroit Free Press. "You can imagine we're going to eke out every mile of range we can." While traditional battery-electric cars with similar range have a starting price tag of $75,000 (the Tesla Model S 70D holds that distinction), the Bolt is estimated to sell for about $30,000 after tax breaks. This is part of General Motors' desire to cater to all car buyers. "We're going to continue to make great cars and let the cars speak for themselves to people who want them," Fletcher said. "And we're not doing it with just one. Look at this from a showroom perspective. This is an incredible statement of the commitment of Chevrolet to electrification." We still have to wait some time for the car, but that doesn't mean we can't be excited! In the meantime, head down to Dan Cummins Chevrolet and check out their vast selection of vehicles. You could be driving off the lot today in a new car!

Going There with Ana Gasteyer

Chevrolet Teams Up with SNL Alum Ana Gasteyer For New Ad

In a new advertising campaign for the 2016 Traverse, Chevrolet has teamed up with Yahoo! and SNL alum, Ana Gasteyer. Making its debut today as a digital comedy series highlighting the family friendly features of the 2016 Traverse, its produced by Ellen DeGeneres’ studio A Very Good Production and is entitled “Going There with Ana Gasteyer”. Chevrolet Dealers are just as excited as Ana is about showing off your next family SUV. more “Going There with Ana Gasteyer” Filmed from the inside of the 2016 Traverse, the series shows Ana driving and picking up friends and fellow comedians who discuss the hilarities of everyday moments as a parent and family member. The candid and often too funny conversations offer an honest and revealing dialogue on parenting from some of our favorite comedians and TV stars. Escaping their homes for just an afternoon, Gasteyer helps friends complete “to-do” lists which is now made easier when showing all the new improvements and advanced technology available on the 2016 Traverse and Yahoo apps. It’s aim is to make life for a busy family that much easier. New Traverse Each Week The nine episode series debuts on Yahoo! and will release a new one every week with a new guest each time. The series will also be viewing on Yahoo Parenting digital magazine. Guests include Maya Rudolph, Jenna Fischer and Jessica St. Clair. Ana Gasteyer You may remember Ana Gasteyer best from the characters she portrayed on SNL from the late 1990’s. Her impressions of Martha Stewart, or the soft voiced NPR talk show host who tasted Alec Baldwin’s Schweddy Balls, or her spot-on Celine Dion, Ana's been making us laugh for decades. Currently starring on ABC’s sitcom, Subpurgatory, she is still making us laugh, even as she drives around town in a brand new Chevy Traverse. 2016 Traverse As a midsize SUV, the “ Chevy Traverse is tailored to needs of parents” says Steve Majoros, Marketing Director for Chevrolet. The web series, while making viewers laugh and providing glimpses into some favorite Hollywood stars parenting tips and confessions, focuses on the Traverse’s premier features designed specifically with families in mind. Having made the 2015 Parenting magazine’s list of Best Family Cars, the Traverse ranked high safety features, provides class-leading cargo space and offers on board technology, such as OnStar 4G LTE with a built-in wi-fi hotspot. With seating for 8 passengers, ease of ride, comfort for all and accommodations are an absolute must and the 2016 Traverse has it all. Offering best-in-class cargo space and safety features taht include an industry first - Front Center Airbag, this Traverse really has all passengers safety and comfort as a top priority.

Latest on the Chevy Bolt

It was originally reported that Chevy's new electric vehicle, the Chevrolet Bolt, would be ready sometime in 2017. There's good news for those hoping to get their hands on the first long-range EV (electric vehicle) by a mainstream brand, as General Motors announced that they've accelerated development on the innovative car. As a result, the Bolt could be available at your local Chevrolet dealers by 2016. more 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV Specifications 200-mile range A base price of $30,000 after full federal tax credit Single, high-capacity electric motor 60 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, featuring five sections, 10 modules, and 96 cell groups Large 10.2-inch-diagonal color touchscreen display with “flip-board” operation Regenerative braking feature 2017 Chevrolet Bolt Range The Chevy Bolt, which was introduced as a concept in January at the Detroit Auto Show and later confirmed in February, is part of Chevy’s electric car grouping, which includes the Volt (plugin hybrid), the Malibu (non-plugin hybrid), and the Spark EV. The Bolt is reportedly capable of going about 200 miles on a single charge. “We have experienced 200 miles. We’re pretty confident in that,” Pam Fletcher, General Motors executive chief engineer for electric vehicles, told Greg Gardner of the Detroit Free Press. “You can imagine we’re going to eke out every mile of the range we can.” 2017 Chevy Bolt Price While traditional battery-electric cars with similar ranges have a starting price tag of $75,000 (the Tesla Model S 70D holds that distinction), the Bolt will sell for about $30,000 after tax breaks. This is part of General Motors’ desire to cater to all car buyers. “We’re going to continue to make great cars and let the cars speak for themselves to people who want them,” Fletcher said. “And we’re not doing it with just one. Look at this from a showroom perspective. This is an incredible statement of the commitment of Chevrolet to electrification.” As Fletcher told John Voelcker of GreenCarReports.com, the company wants to make “electric cars approachable to all, not just to the elite,” which has clearly been reflected in the projected price tag. The Bolt is expected to be sold in all 50 states, and Voelcker guesses the car will also go on sale in Canada (based on the upcoming sale of the 2016 Chevrolet Spark EV). The manufacturers are testing out more than 50 hand-built prototypes, Bolt chief engineer Josh Tavel told Colias. The 2017 Bolt EV is already being assembled in both South Korea and at the General Motors Orion Assembly plant in Orion, Michigan. “Effectively these are the bones of the car that’s going to be the production Chevy Bolt,” Tavel told Greg Migliore of AutoBlog.com. 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV Design We got a sneak peek at the Bolt earlier in June, as a camouflaged crossover/hatchback was photographed during a road test. While there haven’t been many details released regarding any specific interior or exterior features, Migliore used the disguised car’s outline to come up with some basic, assumed features. “The car also has a tall greenhouse, slight creases in the sides, and a sloping roofline in back,” the writer described. “There’s a rapidly rising body line that makes for less glass for rear passengers, but that’s probably part of the camo.” Nikki Gordon-Bloomfield of TransportEvolved.com also tried her hand at analyzing the hooded car. She noticed an update rear tailgate, a previously undisclosed (at least on the concept car) rear wiper, and a considerably higher license plate holder. Gordon-Bloomfield suspects that General Motors may be eliminating their two-piece glass rear tailgate (as seen on the concept car), instead including a more-standard hatch with one pane of glass. All of these changes can be added to the list compiled during the revealing of the concept car, which saw alterations to the front bumper, lower apron, side mirrors, and wheels. Furthermore, Migliore reports that more than 1,000 Chevy engineers are testing the vehicle for competence in “ride and handling dynamics, cabin comfort, quietness, charging capability, and energy efficiency.” This week, we got a video featuring the camouflaged Bolt, with the vehicle being put through both speed and acceleration tests. The car is also shown being charged at a DC quick-charging station, using, as Voelcker points out, the standard US-German CCS connector. That’s about it for details, as Voelcker’s attempted requests for more information were denied. However, the writer believes the car’s architecture could be similar to the next-generation Chevy Sonic subcompact lineup, considering that both car’s are being produced in Michigan. When asked about the lithium-ion cell supplier and the size of the battery pack, Fletcher told Voelcker that the “LG Chem has been a very valued and trusted supplier.” A big selling point for the Bolt (and fellow electric vehicles) will be the availability of the necessary charging stations, and owners will probably be inconvenienced as they look to recharge their batteries. Of course, as Volt chief engineer Andrew Farah told Gardner, the dedicated owners should be able to recharge from the convenience of their own homes. “As these EV ranges get longer, the idea that you have to get a full charge overnight at home is not so much an issue because you don’t usually discharge it every day completely,” Farah said. When Can I Buy a 2017 Chevy Bolt EV? It looks like you’ll have to wait more than a year to get behind the wheel of a new Chevy Bolt. However, it should come as a pleasant surprise that the innovative electric vehicle is ahead of schedule. In a year’s time, plenty of additional information regarding the Bolt will be released. In the meantime, you should give a look at the Chevy collection at Dan Cummins Chevrolet. While you may be telling yourself that you want to wait for the electric car, you may find yourself driving out of the lot in a new Chevy!

History of the Silverado

Chevy Silverado 1500 vs. Ford F-150: New & Used Truck Comparison

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Ford F-150 have dominated the American truck market for decades. While the Ford F-Series often leads in sales, the Silverado provides superior overall value, making it a top choice for many buyers in Lexington and Louisville. Whether you are shopping for a new Chevy Silverado 1500 or a reliable used Chevy Silverado 1500 for sale, our team at Dan Cummins Auto Group, serving Paris and Georgetown, has the perfect truck for you. Discover why the Silverado remains a standout choice against the F-150. more History of the Silverado The Chevrolet Silverado has been a staple in the truck market since its debut in 1999. Now in its third generation, the Silverado offers various trim levels and power options, allowing drivers to select the performance that best meets their needs. Unlike many trucks that carry unnecessary power and weight, the Silverado offers flexibility, catering to both light-duty and heavy-duty needs. A Classic Rivalry Inspires Greatness The rivalry between the Ford F-150 and the Chevrolet Silverado, goes back to when the two vehicles were first introduced. It's a rivalry that is almost as pervasive as the battle between the Cardinals and Wildcats. With both trucks created and manufactured here in the United States, it's a battle being waged here on home turf, and has many people choosing sides. Whether you prefer your pickup truck to wear a bowtie, or a blue oval, is largely a personal decision. Whatever your preference is when it comes to purchasing a full-size pickup truck, this classic rivalry has truly inspired greatness over the years. Without such a close race for first place pickup in America, the Silverado and F-Series may be entirely different vehicles. Ford and Chevrolet have not only heard the voices of consumers, they have responded. In a race for innovation, performance, and comfort, the F-Series and Silverado are truly close competitors. So, you know the backstory. You have a minor glimpse into the on-going rivalry, and you probably have your pickup preference in mind already. But let's go a little further down this rabbit hole, and see just how closely the Silverado and F-Series come, in a side to side comparison. Comparing What Matters Most Those who are in the market for a pickup truck, usually have very particular specifications in mind. If you need a pickup truck that will perform on the job duties, you may consider towing and off-road capabilities the highest on your priority list. If you simply enjoy driving a pickup, and don't need high performance specs,  your priority may include comfort and amenities. Both the F-150 and the Chevy Silverado deliver in all categories - it comes down to personal preference and needs. Engine Options - When comparing the engine options, the Chevy Silverado 1500 outperforms the Ford F-150 in power and versatility. Both trucks come standard with a V6 engine, but the Silverado's 4.3-liter V6 delivers 285 horsepower, surpassing the F-150’s 3.5-liter V6, which offers 283 horsepower. The Silverado also offers a range of V8 options, including a 5.3-liter V8 with 355 horsepower and a 6.2-liter V8 boasting 420 horsepower. In comparison, the F-150’s top V8 produces only 385 horsepower, making the Silverado the better choice for drivers seeking maximum power. Towing - When it comes to towing, the Ford F-150 holds a slight edge with a maximum towing capacity of 12,200 pounds compared to the Chevy Silverado’s 12,000 pounds. However, the 200-pound difference is negligible for most drivers. Both trucks offer impressive payload capacities, making them ideal choices for heavy-duty tasks in Lexington and Louisville. Safety - An important category for all drivers, the safety on both the Silverado and F-150 is what you would expect from a 2015 model year vehicle. The 2015 Silverado earned the coveted five-star safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The 2014 F-150 performed well on the same government crash tests, but took home only a four-star rating. Both pickup trucks offer standard traction and stability control, anti-lock brakes, and side-curtain airbags. Technology - In-vehicle technology has become as important as the vehicle itself. Offering the highest-level of connectivity, entertainment, and convenience features - both pickup trucks have the technology aspect covered. Again, it merely comes down to a matter of preference. The Chevy Silverado offers remote start, an 8-inch advanced color touchscreen display, MyLink infotainment system, hill-descent control, and a rear-seat Blu-Ray entertainment system. The F-150 has its fair share of technological offerings, including automatic high-beam control, power retractable running boards, and adaptive cruise control. While both trucks offer great technology, the F-150 seems to have a longer list of exclusive features, that are not options on the Silverado. Comfort - Both the F-150 and Silverado were built for performance, but were also designed for comfort. The interior of both trucks offer leather upholstery, heated and cooled front seats, and a spacious rear seat for passengers and cargo. Comfort is a true tie between these two trucks, and again, comes down to a matter of preference. Overall Value - The 2015 Ford F-150 has a starting MSRP of $25,800, while the 2015 Silverado 1500 starts at $26,170. Again, this difference is minor, and is unlikely to sway a buyer one way or the other. Both pickup trucks come with a 3-year/36,000 mile basic warranty. The F-150 also comes with a 5-year or 60,000 mile powertrain warranty. The Silverado beats out the F-150, offering buyers a 5-year or 100,000 mile powertrain warranty. That additional 40,000 mile allowance may be something to consider, especially if you expect to be spending a lot of time behind the wheel in the first five years. Used Pickup Trucks Retain Value If you are thinking about purchasing a pickup truck - whether it be a Silverado of an F-150 - consider purchasing a used version. Both trucks hold their overall value very well, and are great candidates for a pre-owned purchase. If you are looking for a newer used truck, the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado is a great choice. The pickup truck was completely redesigned for that model year, and offers a great list of standard features, as well as new engine blocks. The entire frame was redesigned as well for this model year, comprised of high-strength steel created with advanced hyrdoforming technology. Buying a used Silverado is also a great way to get some extras, without paying the full price. Special edition models such as the Silverado HD, and the Silverado High Country, are both great options to purchase used. When it comes to purchasing one of the bestselling, and most reliable pickup trucks in America, you can purchase a used version, knowing that it will hold its value for years to come. Peace of mind really doesn't get much better than that. Why Choose a Used Chevy Silverado Near Lexington & Louisville? Buying a used Chevy Silverado is a smart investment, as the model holds its value well over time. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado, for example, was completely redesigned with new engine options and an upgraded frame made of high-strength steel. This makes it an excellent choice for those seeking a durable, feature-rich truck at a lower price point. Whether you’re in the market for a newer used truck or a special edition model like the Chevy Silverado HD or High Country, our dealerships in Paris and Georgetown offer a great selection of used Chevy Silverado trucks for sale near Lexington & Louisville.

Whether you’re looking for a reliable workhorse or a feature-packed family truck, the Chevrolet Silverado delivers on all fronts.

chevy battery

Planning to Install Your Chevrolet's Battery

Most people have a good idea of how to install their Chevrolet's battery. But what most people don't do is plan—because planning is more than just reaction, it's thinking ahead. When will your car battery die on you, and where will you be? Will your engine fail to turn over when you're already five minutes late to work, or will the process your Chevrolet uses to recharge your battery cease to function properly, leaving you stranded out and about. As Americans we want to tackle every problem head on, and often forget the old idiom that advises discretion as the better part of valor. Your local Chevrolet dealer thinks bigger picture about things like safety and prevention, and wants you to take a moment to do so as well. So slow your mind down as it catalogs the few tools you'll need to change out your battery successfully, and think about family or friends that might be either borrowing your Chevrolet, or for whatever reason have to handle installation, when the battery dies. more Preventative Maintenance The best thing to do is preventative maintenance. Total preventative maintenance extends to far more than just your Chevrolet's battery, like checking tire pressure, the conditions of your brakes, fluid levels, and cleaning debris build up; but unlike low tire pressure, battery problems are show stopping. One of the easiest things you can is do is have your battery tested one a year, or even once a quarter as it ages. This way you'll be alerted early on if your battery isn't holding a charge like it used to, and will be able to replace it before it becomes a problem. However, remembering to do this is often times difficult as life is busy and schedules sometimes don't allow the flexibility needed. And even if your battery still carries a strong charge doesn't mean machines won't malfunction and leave you, your loved ones, or your friends to install a new battery. Tools and Process Changing your vehicle's battery might require a few tools. The best way to figure this out is by referring to the owner's manual while doing a mock battery change out. This may seem silly but there is no other way to be sure of what exactly you'll need. The practice of trial runs coupled with forward thought is something that many industries use to keep their vehicles running well, such as law enforcement and the military, and can be applied to vehicles you don't own but use, such as work trucks. If you decide to forgo this process and simply think you'll only need the tools afforded to you in the multi-tool you keep attached to your belt, you might find yourself out of luck. Some batteries are held in place extra securely with some kind of retention plate and bolt. These simplistic safeguards ensure that your battery doesn't bounce around, but is instead held rock solid in the same spot no matter what bumps the terrain might throw your way. Safety Beyond what tools are required it's important to think about what safety precautions are needed. There could be corrosive build up on the terminals that will need to be removed, and hand protection should be worn during the removal. An often overlooked facet of personal protective equipment that should be worn during a battery installation is eye protection. Batteries, although stable the majority of the time, are filled with a strong acid and can be volatile. If the acid were to come in contact with a person's eyes it could result in loss of vision or permanent disfigurement. A full plastic face mask is recommended to be certain harmful materials are kept far away from eyes and face. However, full face masks are clunky, and often times they aren't on hand. Be sure to wear, at the very minimum, some kind of eye protection. Other kinds of personal protective equipment to have on hand while changing your battery are gloves. Although thin, plastic gloves are better than nothing, they tear easily and won't protect your hand in the event you mash it between the battery and your car, or accidentally pinch your fingers in a tight space. The kind of gloves that mechanics where, with hard plastic over the knuckles, are preferred. If you were to drop the battery on your hand gloves like these will afford you the most protection possible. That isn't to say that you won't be hurt if you drop the battery on your hands—and if you're thinking, “Well, I won't do anything so clumsy,” ask yourself, would your friends or loved ones? But all the personal protective equipment in the world can't save you from yourself, so remember not to touch your face while you work on your car. It seems like one of those things that should go without saying, but most people spend only a very small fraction of their time dealing with hazardous material. It's easy to feel sweat beading on your forward and wipe you're face not realizing your smearing what could be acid, rust, or heavy metals all over yourself—potentially in your eyes, nose, or mouth. If this happens flush your eyes and affected areas and seek medical treatment. Walking into an emergency room to explain how you hurt yourself doing what most people consider simple automotive maintenance isn't something anyone relishes, but could become a reality if the needs of the future are met with neglect. Being prepared, planning to install your battery, can save you not only this embarrassment but can give you peace of mind that your friends and loved ones are in the best possible position to succeed. But planning doesn't stop with the immediacy of needing spark from the battery. Preparation All of the equipment and gear involved in the plan so far can easily fit into a duffle bag and fit into your trunk. And since there is probably room in that bag, it might be wise to include a headlamp, road flares, a reflective triangle, jumper cables, water, food, water proof ponchos, and blankets depending on the weather. And while you're planning to change your battery in the event of failure, it seems intuitive to check on the car jack and spare tire. Maybe include some extra fuel if you live in an sparsely populated area. Because success, like failure, can occur because of a domino effect. If you've planned ahead and really thought about when you'll need to install your car battery, you won't find yourself on a dark road without any light or tools, the slight patter of rain soaking through your clothes. And if you really want to go the extra mile you could even purchase a spare batter and have on hand. If this seems excessive, take into account the military saying, “two is one, one is none,” when it comes to critical items. Success After all that thinking ahead and planning you're ready to change your Chevrolet's battery; you even did a couple of dry runs to be sure you understand how to properly install the battery. But did you show your wife and kids, or talk to your aging mother who sometimes uses the car to run errands or visit relatives, and did you tell your friend who borrows it about the kit you put together in your old gym bag and stowed away in the trunk? Although it won't be fun if your battery dies unexpectedly, at least now you've given it some serious thought and are ready to make the proper preparations to install your Chevrolet's battery.

cruze hatchback

Chevy Announces Hatchback Version of Cruze

We've got some good news for those who have been hoping for a Chevrolet Cruze hatchback to hit American soil. John Stapleton, the General Motors North America Chief Financial Officer, took the stage at the Citi 2015 Industrials Conference in Boston recently, and he confirmed to investors that the vehicle will soon be in development (although the release date and model year have yet to be determined). This is a big development for the hatchback market, where the Cruze will join a variety of already-available and soon-to-be-available cars. Of course, considering the success of the Cruze, we should expect Chevy's newest creation to jump to the top of the class. Before you head out to your local Chevy dealer in Lexington, Kentucky, see why you may want to hold off on making a purchase… more As Melissa Burden of The Detroit News writes, the automaker had originally revealed a concept for a 2016 Chevy Cruze sedan back in June. The "larger and lighter" vehicle is expected to deliver 40 miles per gallon on the highway, and it should be available for the start of 2016. There's no reports regarding an exact release date for the hatchback, but Burden wonders if it may follow the release of the sedan. Regardless, the company has already made progress on the vehicle, as previous reports suggested that dealers were shown the hatchback during a June meeting in Las Vegas. Of course, by progress, we mean that Chevrolet and General Motors has been busy orienting their vehicle towards the American market. The vehicle has already seen plenty of success overseas, as the hatchback has been sold in both Europe and China. Mark Reuss, General Motors' product chief, previously told AutoNews.com that the lack of a Cruze hatchback on the United States market was a "pre-bankruptcy planning mistake." “We are excited about the introduction of the all-new 2016 Cruze and what it will offer customers,” a Chevrolet spokeswoman said (via Burden). “The hatch variant helped make the Cruze Chevrolet’s best-selling car globally and that body style will continue to be offered in various markets. However, we are not confirming markets, timing or content at this time.” There are whispers that Chevy could be looking to add a five-door model Cruze to the United States market in an attempt to compete with rival companies. If we're looking for specifics, the brand may be eyeing Honda, which recently announced that they'd be releasing their own hatchback version of the Honda Civic. The Civic sedan will launch in the new few months, but it's also uncertain when the hatchback will hit dealer lots. Furthermore, the brand could be looking at Ford Motor Company, where the Ford Focus hatchback accounts for 40-percent of the nameplate's sales. As Burden points out, other potential competitors are the Hyundai Elantra, Volkswagen Golf and Mazda3. Jens Meiners of CarAndDriver.com also suggests that Chevy could be wanting to add a hatchback due to the desire to have a bigger, more flexible, and stylish vehicle. In reviewing the European version, the writer noted how family friendly the vehicle was, noting the vehicle's (surprisingly) roomy interior. Meiners also appreciated the quiet and "unobtrusive" motor noise, making "long journeys" that much more enjoyable. Finally, the writer was impressed with the styling of the hatchback, noting that the designers have added "tension to an attractive but somewhat conservative design." While all of these car brands look to add hatchbacks to their line of cars, the segment has generally been declining in sales over the past few years. Tom Libby, the manager of loyalty solutions and industry analysis at HIS Automotive, told Burden that hatchbacks accounted for 5.2-percent of retail sales in the past year. However, "the hatchback percentage in the U.S. has fallen each year since 2012." Reversely, Libby anticipates the percentage to climb to 5.8-percent by 2018 (he also anticipates the Cruze hatchback to hit the United States market by 2017). “The success of the crossover is affecting all other body types except for pickups,” Libby said, noting that Chevy's desire to add the segment is an acknowledgement that production of a Cruze is "partially in response to the success of the Focus." The foreign hatchback was introduced at the Paris Motor Show in 2010, and sales began in 2011. The standard European Cruze Hatchback offers a LS four-cylinder 1.4-liter engine with front-wheel drive, a five-speed manual transmission, McPherson Strut/Compound Crank Axles, and a multi-point fuel injection system. The vehicle can deliver an estimated 98 horsepower, 95 ft-lbs of torque, 52.3 mile per gallon combined fuel efficiency, and it has an estimated 0-60 time of 14.1 seconds. The vehicle rides on 16-inch steel wheels. The vehicle is available in ten different colors (including Summit White, Blue Sapphire, Carbon Flash Black, Deep Espresso Brown, Ice Silver, Mars Stone, Mystic Moonlight Blue, Satin Steel Grey, Smokey Grey, and Velvet Red), and it's accented by a black grille. Chevy has also included bi-functional halogen headlamps and tinted glass. Head to the inside of the hatchback, and you'll find multiple 12-volt power sockets, a trip computer, a roomy storage box, and a leather-wrapped gear knob and steering wheel. Among the safety features are an anti-lock braking system, an electronic stability control, rear parking sensors, a tire pressure monitoring system, and an innovative ISOFIX child seat restraint system. The Chevy Cruze hit the market in 2009, but the nameplate had previously been used in Japan for a Suzuki-Chevy subcompact hatchback. In the United States, the Cruze replaced the Chevy Cobalt and the Daewoo Lacetti, and the brand was counting on the vehicle to help turn around sales. The inexpensive (albeit, innovative) vehicle was an immediate hit in America and around the world. The nameplate has been commended for it's safety features, receiving a score of 35.04 points out of 37 from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program in 2009. The vehicle also received high scores in China, Europe, and South Korea. In the United States, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rewarded the vehicle the highest possible score in front, side, rear and rollover crash protection tests, and it was also deemed a 'Top Safety Pick.' The second generation Cruze has been in the works since 2013, but the launch has been delayed multiple times. Expected to be released for the 2016 model year, the vehicle will feature an updated split grille and a more powerful, muscle-car-inspired look. The size of the vehicle isn't expected to change, but Chevy is rumored to be eyeing the 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, as well as a dual-clutch transmission. The brand has also been equipping their vehicles with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and we should expect to see their future vehicles feature these capabilities. As we mentioned, you'll have to wait some time for the Cruze hatchback to hit your local Chevy lot, but that doesn't mean you can't anticipate the release. If you've been awaiting such a vehicle, this could be the vehicle for you! In the meantime, visit Dan Cummins Chevrolet in Paris, Kentucky. Even if you're not seeking a hatchback, you'll find a variety of vehicles that will fit your needs! Head in there today, and you could be driving off the lot in a new car in no time!

Blue 2016 Chevrolet SS sedan parked on road

The 2016 Chevy SS Gives Good Face

Madonna said “Rita Hayworth gave good face-” in her 1990 smash hit, “Vogue,” and we’re saying it about the upcoming Chevy SS sedan, poised to grace the roads with its powerful beauty in early 2016. The new 2016 Chevy SS sedan is sporting some serious exterior enhancements, sure to drive current SS sedan lovers to their Chevy Lexington dealer in droves. What’s all the fuss about? Just how made over is the face of the new Chevy SS sedan? Read on…we’ve got the behind-the-scenes sneak peek. Quick Specs 415 horsepower and 415 lb.-ft. of torque 2-liter V8 engine Six-speed manual transmission or the available six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters 19-inch alloys New exterior color: Slipstream Blue The Chevy SS – Always in Style Ever stylish, the 2016 Chevy SS is stepping up its superficial surface. Starting with the front fascia, Chevy has redesigned the vertical ducts on the outside edges, which allows air to flow over the openings on the front wheels, enhancing aerodynamic efficiency overall. In addition to improved aerodynamics, check out the brand new, Chevy-signature LED lighting and new hood vents. Chevrolet’s Performance Car marketing manager, Todd Christensen, explained that “The 2016 SS design changes more fully express the true driving character of the sedan while further enhancing the car’s overall performance.” Not to worry though, the 2016 Chevy SS sedan will still present the same inner beauty and performance as before. Equipped with a 6.2-liter V8 engine, the 2016 SS generates an SAE-certified 415 horsepower and 415 lb.-ft. of torque, paired with either a six-speed manual transmission or the available six-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Also new for the 2016 model year, the SS gets a new dual-mode exhaust system, which returns a hushed performance at decreased engine speeds, while also creating a more robust note from the engine when engaged in open-throttle. The 2016 Chevy SS sedan also has new wheels, thanks to the addition of 19-inch alloys. Pricing for the 2016 Chevy SS sedan has yet to be officially announced; however, you can expect to see the 2016 Chevy SS at dealerships sometime in early 2016, likely competitively priced against the 2015 SS sedan, which starts at $45,745. Exterior colors will likely be based on the current model, which, if carried over, would include: Regal Peacock Green Metallic, Some Like It Hot Red Metallic, Jungle Green Metallic, Silver Ice Metallic, Red Hot 2, Phantom Black Metallic, Heron White, Perfect Blue Metallic, Alchemy Purple Metallic, and Mystic Green Metallic. However, we also know that Chevy has added a new color in honor of this 2016 SS sedan makeover called Slipstream Blue. Of course, the wait already feels too long because the refreshed 2016 SS looks like the ideal Chevy to turn heads in and “Find New Roads.”

Ten Things to Know About 2016 Chevy Camaro

If you’ve yet to hear anything about the 2016 Chevy Camaro, know this: most of the Camaro is entirely changed.  While it still has the handsomely strong and aggressive appearance it’s always maintained, it has undergone drastic changes under the hood that will have a dynamic effect on its capabilities and enhance its performance. Soon, it will be available for a test drive Lexington Chevrolet dealers. Are you ready? more One More Year…. In its 49th model year and beginning its sixth generation, it wouldn’t be unusual for a car that has been around this long to see an entirely new makeover while keeping the same mechanical build.  You know the routine. You’ve seen it before; botox and augmentations. However, this 6th generation Camaro has done the exact opposite. This 2016 Camaro knows that real change comes from within. That’s why engineers have kept its handsome and structural good looks but changed almost everything else. They have reduced vehicle mass and improved structural stiffness contributing to the Camaro’s overall performance. The Camaro SS is more powerful than it’s ever been.  The Camaro Turbo is a challenge to every great iconic muscle car in American history. The change that the 2016 Chevy Camaro has gone through have made it more responsive, more powerful, more fast and definitely more fun to drive.  When you’re looking to drive a Camaro, what more could you possibly want? Camaro's Chief Engineer “ Every Camaro model offers exceptional chassis strength and rigidity, but the modular design made the architecture more adaptable and mass-efficient, because we didn’t have to compensate for the unique demands of, say, the SS convertible when building a 2.0L Turbo coupe” said Al Oppenheiser, Camaro's chief engineer. “The result was an elegant engineering solution: 12 chassis components that could be combined to meet the structural requirements of each specific model, without adding unnecessary mass to other models.” From Zeta to Alpha Rather than being built on the Zeta platform, like its predecessors, the 2016 Camaro is built on GM’s Alpha platform.  If that sounds familiar, it’s because it was first used on Cadillac’s ATS and CTS models. The Alpha platform is light, stiff and modern which all work toward producing better performance. First Four in 30 The entry-level LT model comes with a four cylinder engine.  This may sound typical for a base model, except when you consider that this is the first one to be put in a Camaro in 30 years.  So why, when updating every part of this new Camaro would there suddenly be a 4 cylinder engine powering this beast?  Only because it’s a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder! Borrowed from the Cadillac ATS, this turbocharged four delivers 270 horsepower and 290 lb/ft of torque. “Don’t Forget Your Motley Crue t-shirt” Remember the early 1980’s and the 2.5L “Iron Duke” four that went screaming into every neighborhood between 1982-1986 and was the inspiration for the Dead Milkmen’s homage to the Jersey Shore in “ Bi*chin' Camaro”?  This engine nearly triples that amount of power.  Who’s going to be writing the theme song for this engine in another ten years? Major Weight Loss In order to perform the way they envisioned it to, the 2016 Camaro was going to have to lose weight.  Engineers had to get creative with how they were going to shed those LB’s.  This 6th generation Camaro is now more than 300 lbs lighter than its predecessors. How did it do this? Like stated earlier, engineers became creative. Swapping materials out, switching metals for hard plastics, doing whatever they could to get the weight down without compromising performance or safety. All V6 models have a front anti-roll bar drop links that are now molded from high-strength plastic.  The front suspension is made from specified aluminum with steel links that have extensive lightening holes to keep weight down.  The suspension alone lost about 26 pounds from last year’s model.  Altogether, the 2016 Camaro weighs 368 lbs less in its 6th generation than its previous generations. “ I believe the term was ‘tasty’." ( Better Off Dead about a 1967 Camaro) Customizable Gauge Cluster If the upper-trim versions are where you like to play (who doesn’t?) then you should be prepared for the fun, driver-centric accessories that will spoil you.  An 8-inch LCD screen sits between the analog speedometer and tachometer. On this screen, you can display three different instrument configurations; at least four different screens on the bottom and three on the top.  These screens are independent of what is the 8-inch LCD screen is displaying on the interface. Catering to the driver and their specific needs, so as to not be distracting but clear, are what makes this Camaro the clear choice for any driver who likes to be in control. Wider Track Because the Alpha platform structure was already developed for the Cadillac ATS and CTS, and because the Camaro has a wider track (1.6 inches greater up front and 1.2 inches wider in back), painstaking attention was going to have to be paid to the suspension to ensure the proper fit while preserving the Alpha structure. Engineers found a solution by using longer suspension pieces on the same pickup points. Laser Welded Roof When they say ‘ the devil is in the details’ they mean it.  Details are what matter when claiming good American quality and craftsmanship.  Details are what make the difference between choosing this car or that one. When cars have unsightly finishes, plastic strips or plain unfinished work showing, that is a definite deterrent.  The 2016 Camaro was not designed with this to every happen.  When the roof of the Camaro was welded to the sides, the seam was laser-welded.  A laser weld produces a neat seam that requires no handwork and looks arguably better than other seam work. Multipurpose HVAC Vents While driving a performance vehicle like the 2016 Camaro, you don’t want to be bothered with messy gauge clusters or too many buttons.  In an attempt to clean up the gauge cluster and minimize the number of buttons, the engineers designed for an easier way to adjust the temperature.  Each outer ring on the central air outlets rotate to set the system temperature.  Once set, the temperature is shown on the central LCD display. Clever devices like this are what make the 2016 Camaro stand out for its innovation and supreme engineering. V8 Engine Has Three Radiators Having three radiators is a bit, shall we say, out of the the norm.  So, in a way to be unconventionally conventional, the main radiator is located in the conventional position while the two smaller radiators are stationed on either side, flanking the first, mounted at right angles. The SS Model is Ready to Blow Your Hair Back Not that it has anything to prove for its upcoming 50th birthday, but hey, why not take it out on the track for a spin? It is 100% rated track capable.  This means that without cooking it’s engine, transmission, differentials or brakes, it can run for an entire tank of fuel at maximum speed around GM’s Mildford Road Course without. Reason why it has so many radiators. Functional Hood Vents First off, the Camaro SS is meant to be on the track.  It’s meant to go fast and meant to be a muscle car.  Combine that with its lightening fast speed and its tremendous weight loss, and you’ll know that this wasn’t designed with extra nonsensical items.  This Camaro was designed so that every piece of material on it serves a function. Therefore, the vents on the aluminum hood the Camaro SS serve a purpose.  Their function is to relieve excess air from the engine compartment.  This helps cooling flow and reduces lift.  The position of the vents was chosen so that low-pressure air flowing over of the hood would help extract the underhood air.
