As the temperatures are low and the snow can tend to stack up during the winter in St Louis, many consumers are looking over the traits that are the most important to them in terms of a new vehicle purchase. Consumer reports, various awards and accolades, and records of how cars perform on a daily basis are all important places to start when making your decision. When you first drive away in a new car, the last thing you are thinking about is coming right back and turning it in. If you pick a vehicle from us, we guarantee that you're going to love your new driving experience!
One of the reasons that you may want to resell a vehicle is a few years down the road, when you find something just that much more awesome that your heart is set on, or new model of the one you already love. If that happens to be the case, Chevy trucks were recognized for Best Resale Value just this past week: the 2018 Silverado HD was hailed the king for Best Resale Value for a Full-Size Pickup Truck, while the 2018 Tahoe grabbed a win for Best Resale Value in the Full-Size SUV/Crossover category. The 2018 Colorado and 2018 Silverado both ranked in KBB.com's Top 10 for Best Resale Value as well, wonderfully touting the legacy of our brand that recently celebrated 100 years of manufacturing.
Having built more than 85 million dependable and long-lasting trucks, we love to focus on quality, and know that our value and durability in craftsmanship will be instrumental in terms of moving the lineup forward. Motor Authority just called the new Chevy Silverado “Lighter, stronger, and smarter”, and we're all excited about the fuel-saving features on board, as well as the dropping of 450 pounds from its overall mass. Seven different types of steel for the safety cage were put to use, as well as a higher grade of roll-formed steer for the bed, which is nearly seven inches wider in the interior. Aluminum was incorporated in the hood, doors, and other small panels to shed more weight, thereby boosting overall fuel efficiency.
One stop in to pay us a visit here at Jim Butler and you won't be surprised at the many reasons the Silverado was selected for its high resale value. We are going to be increasing production of the crew cab body style to meet extra demand, and all styles will ride on a 3.9-inch longer wheelbase, with a 1.6 inch longer length. 120-volt power outlet, LED task lighting, and industry first power tailgate will also be offered this year, as well as larger versions of the rear bumper's corner steps. You can sit down and mull over six different engine and transmission combinations, with the powerful 6.2-liter V8 being just one of the rogue-and-ready options. Knowing that if and when the time comes you won't be left with a disappointingly low trade-in value will help influence your decision, and you can make 2018 the year a new truck graces the garage!
