2022 Chevy Silverado 3500HD Provides Pure Duramax Diesel Load-Conquering Swagger on Each Trim Level

All of us here at Jim Butler Chevy of Saint Louis agree with the Motorbiscuit.com auto blogging staff when they said that it feels so good to be told “yes” when you can ask if you have a specific feature at your disposal for the vehicle you want to test drive or take home. No matter which version of the Chevy Silverado 3500 HD you choose, you can now brandish the trusty and hard-delivering Duramax diesel engine. 

It's the upgraded option that delivers the power, raw performance factor, in ultimately long-lasting durability you want in any new heavy-duty truck. The available body styles are a regular cab, double cab, and Crew Cab, in which the Duramax is offered across 4 trims. You can select the work truck model to help you move a huge trailer filled with the necessary equipment to the job site, or the High Country trim that makes your passengers enjoy luxurious elements when you're out for some R&R on the lake. The Duramax engine exists as a marvelous 6.6-liter turbocharged diesel V8 that cranks out 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque. 

It is mated to an amazing 10-speed Allison automatic transmission that directs power to the rear wheels, in every trim now offers 4-wheel drive except the High Country which already has it included as part of its standard package. So many truck owners are righteously excited about the big power that this engine delivers, making it simple to have a gigantic load in tow. Your limits won’t exceed until you hit an astonishing 20,000 pounds with a conventional trailer hitch or 35,500 pounds with a fifth-wheel or gooseneck in place. The payload rating is 7,442 pounds, which means that hauling very heavy equipment around won’t be difficult in the least.

Most trucks out there are on duty to carry heavy loads and offer up great bed configurations to accommodate tall items for hauling. GM does something a little extra special with its trucks, as the Multi-Flex Tailgate offers six different functions for using it as a load stop, surface for getting sawing or assembly work completed, or bed step. There’s also an integrated Bluetooth speaker to provide the ultimate thumpin’ sounds while you choose to have a tailgate extravaganza or need some audio inspiration before lugging away some fresh-cut logs.

When you are in dire need of an XXL size truck to handle monstrous jobs, the Chevy Silverado 3500 HD is an excellent choice with a variety of trims and options. Once you mix in the added grunt of the Duramax diesel engine and the abilities of a fifth-wheel trailer hookup, there really is next to nothing you can’t do with this prime polling machine. Diesel engines last among the longest of anything it ever built, and your new truck could easily last for a few very exciting decades.

Iconic Corvette Pace Car Collection Finds Ecstatic new Owner for $1.375 Million During Annual Indy Spring Classic

Last week during the Annual Indy Spring Classic, the Mecum Auctions saw for the 35th time over 2,500 vehicles cross its legendary block. The total revenue for the event topped over $126 million, with the claim to the third most expensive lot sold excitedly made for the Chevy Corvette Pace Car Collection that changed hands for $1,375,000. Any diehard Corvette fan here at Jim Butler Chevy of St Louis would be amazed by this collection of 19 Corvette Pace Cars, with the Corvette namesake enjoying Indy 500 pace car status more times than any other model.

Several of these very special and memorable pace cars were reproduced and refined as replicas as the public was allowed in on the bidding war, and others were built specifically with this legendary and historic event in mind. Owner Dr. Richard Foster has long been a dedicated fan of the Corvette Pace Cars, and his collection included six Corvette Pace Car Editions, 8 Indy Motor Speedway authorized replicas, and two Official Pace Cars. 

Four of the six Corvette Pace Car Editions have now received honors from Bloomington Gold or the National Corvette Restorers Society, with one model in particular showing less than one hundred miles on the odometer. The earliest car in this lot was a 1978 model with less than fifty miles on the odometer, shining brightly as a Bloomington Gold Benchmark Certified unrestored example. As you move up through the 1980’s, the 1986 Chevy Corvette Pace Car convertible in very memorable bright yellow with a black cloth top was the second oldest entry in the group.

Then, you move up the line to a Bloomington Gold Benchmark Certified 1995 Chevy Corvette Pace Car Edition, boasting a Dark Purple finish along with Arctic While with only 121 miles on it as new. This one has an awesome maroon hue and is simply one of a kind as far as the spirit of the ‘Vette that we have all long had much love for! 

Another amazing number from this arsenal with only TEN miles on the odometer is the 2003 Corvette Pace Car 50th Anniversary Coupe, which is painted in Anniversary Red, and is also Bloomington Gold Certified. 

One of the most classic scenes of any Corvette group ever is also included in this troupe: it's’ the 2006 Chevy Corvette Pace Car, with Arctic White paint dip and red and blue stripes, as one of only six official Pace Cars built for this occasion. 

2013 marked the end for C6 Generation Corvettes and the flagship 50th Anniversary ZR1 present in this sold lot boasts 638 horsepower and a six-speed manual. As a 60th Anniversary version, it was finished in Arctic White with Blue Diamond leather interior and has just 34 miles driven, another modern marvel that lives and breathes every single amazing and noteworthy essence the Corvette was meant to mirror.

Another one of the unforgettable and picturesque numbers in the collection was the C7 Corvette finished in Laguna Blue, with only 9 miles on the odometer. This is one Corvette that in every single way emulates what a track car should appear as: positioned, prime, and glistening at every single visual angle!
