If It Ain’t Broke, Make It Bolder: The 2026 Silverado 3500HD Refines the Formula

The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD continues to stand tall as one of the most capable and confident heavy-duty trucks on the road. Chevrolet knows what drivers want in a work-ready, adventure-ready truck, and the latest Silverado 3500HD delivers that in spades. This year brings a few refined updates that make a great truck even better here at the Mid Missouri Powerhouse.

The Heart of Hard Work, Now With Even More Drive

One of the most notable additions is a new White exterior color, adding a clean and commanding look to an already bold lineup. The LT trim now includes standard four-wheel drive, making it even easier to tackle tough Missouri terrain, from muddy job sites to rural backroads.

When it comes to selection, the 2026 Silverado 3500HD lineup keeps things familiar yet flexible. Drivers can choose from trims that include the WT (Work Truck), LT, LTZ, and High Country. Each one offers its own unique combination of capability and comfort, allowing buyers to tailor their truck to their needs. The rugged ZR2 remains exclusive to the 2500HD, but every version of the 3500HD is built for strength, endurance, and the kind of dependability that Missouri truck owners count on year after year.

Two Powerhouses, One Legendary Work Ethic:

Under the hood, power is the name of the game. The Silverado 3500HD gives buyers two serious engine choices, both designed to handle demanding workloads and long hauls with ease. The standard 6.6-liter V8 gas engine brings 401 horsepower and 464 pound-feet of torque, plenty of muscle for towing equipment, pulling trailers, or handling a full day’s work without breaking a sweat. 

For those who crave even more power, the available 6.6-liter Duramax turbo-diesel V8 delivers an impressive 470 horsepower and 975 pound-feet of torque. Both engines pair beautifully with a 10-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth shifts, steady power delivery, and impressive control whether driving through the Ozarks or cruising across I-70.

Heavy-Duty Heritage, Modern Muscle

Rear-wheel drive comes standard on the WT trim, while every other model includes four-wheel drive to make sure traction is always available when the going gets tough. From gravel to wet grass, the Silverado 3500HD has the confidence to keep moving forward.

Of course, strength is what the Silverado HD family is best known for, and the 3500HD continues that legacy proudly. Properly equipped, this one-ton powerhouse can tow up to a staggering 36,000 pounds. That means heavy equipment, large campers, and fully loaded horse trailers are all fair game. The dual rear-wheel (DRW) configuration adds even greater stability and boosts gooseneck towing by roughly 10,000 pounds. 

Payload capacity also impresses at over 7,200 pounds, giving drivers serious hauling confidence. Even the more comfort-oriented trims maintain outstanding capability, offering towing figures in the 31,000-pound range. Whether it’s work during the week or play on the weekend, this truck is ready for it all.

Designed for Every Job, Ready for Every Journey

The Silverado 3500HD’s practical design continues through its multiple body configurations. Buyers can choose between a standard, double, or crew cab setup, and bed lengths of either 6.75 or 8 feet. The crew cab, available across all trims, comfortably seats up to six passengers when equipped with a front bench seat. Its spacious interior and generous legroom make it an ideal choice for those who need a truck that works as hard for the family as it does for the job.

Chevrolet’s commitment to safety and technology shines through in every Silverado HD. Standard features include automatic emergency braking, a forward-distance indicator, and an HD rearview camera. The LT trim steps things up with advanced tools like trailer-aware blind-spot monitoring, a surround-view camera system, and an in-vehicle trailering app that takes the guesswork out of hauling. 

From the Work Truck to the High Country — Every Seat’s a Good One

The LTZ adds even more driver-focused enhancements, including adaptive cruise control and an automatic parking assist feature. At the top of the lineup, the High Country trim integrates many of these features as standard equipment, blending technology, comfort, and sophistication in one powerful package.

Inside, the Silverado 3500HD offers modern comfort blended with hard-working practicality. The WT trim keeps things simple and durable, perfect for the jobsite, with an easy-to-clean interior and a 7-inch touchscreen. The LT and higher trims step up the experience with a 13.4-inch infotainment display that supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and an available Wi-Fi hotspot. Premium touches continue as drivers move up the trim ladder. 

The LTZ adds options such as leather-appointed seating, a Bose audio system, and heated and ventilated seats, while the High Country stands as the ultimate expression of refinement and strength, featuring wood accents, advanced digital displays, and top-tier audio and comfort features.

Built for Missouri Roads, Built for Missouri Life

Each trim has its own personality. The WT is a reliable work partner, ready for long days and heavy lifting. The LT adds everyday comfort and technology that makes long drives or jobsite commutes more enjoyable. The LTZ mixes luxury with strength, offering chrome accents, polished details, and top-quality materials. The High Country represents the peak of Silverado craftsmanship, giving drivers the best in both power and prestige.

Owning a Silverado 3500HD is about more than just driving a truck. It’s about knowing that every turn of the key means strength, security, and the confidence to take on whatever comes next. In Missouri, where weather and work conditions can change in a heartbeat, having a truck that’s built for reliability and power is more than convenient; it’s peace of mind. Whether pulling a trailer through farmland, tackling a construction project, or simply heading out for a weekend adventure, the Silverado 3500HD makes every mile feel solid and controlled.

Chevrolet’s heavy-duty trucks have earned a reputation for lasting value and unstoppable performance, and the 2026 Chevy Silverado 3500HD proudly carries that legacy forward. Its blend of capability, technology, and comfort proves why so many truck owners across the state and beyond trust the bowtie badge to get the job done.

Trunk, Torque, and Tech: The Chevy Tahoe Proves Big Can Be Brilliant

Families here at the Mid Missouri Powerhouse continue to choose the Chevy Tahoe for its unbeatable mix of power, comfort, and innovation. Built for busy schedules and big adventures, this SUV is designed to handle everything from school drop-offs to cross-country road trips with ease. With its commanding presence, versatile trims, and advanced technology, the Tahoe remains one of America’s favorite full-size SUVs.

Refreshed, Refined, and Ready for Anything

After a major update in 2025, the 2026 Tahoe arrives with thoughtful new touches that make everyday driving even more convenient. The new Key Card system offers quick access without digging for your keys, while Cabin Glance allows drivers to monitor backseat passengers through an in-car camera, perfect for families with kids or pets. An available RST Dark Essentials package and fresh wheel designs keep the Tahoe looking bold and contemporary from every angle.

Drivers will also appreciate new software updates that enhance navigation and entertainment, making road trips smoother and more engaging. The Tahoe’s infotainment system integrates effortlessly with connected apps, offering real-time traffic updates, weather forecasts, and even trailer status monitoring — technology that feels built around your lifestyle.

Power That Delivers

Under the hood, the Tahoe lineup gives drivers a choice of three capable engines, all paired with a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission. The standard 5.3-liter V8 provides strong performance for everyday use, while the 6.2-liter V8 turns up the power for those who love commanding acceleration and confident towing. 

For long highway drives or those who prefer maximum efficiency, the Duramax 3.0-liter turbo-diesel combines robust torque with impressive fuel economy. Rear-wheel drive comes standard, with four-wheel drive available for extra traction when Missouri weather takes a turn.

“Towing our camper to the Ozarks was effortless,” said longtime Chevy driver Mark L. of Columbia, MO. “The Tahoe’s diesel engine pulled like a dream, and the trailering tech made the whole process easy. It’s powerful, comfortable, and makes our family road trips something we actually look forward to.”

Confident Comfort and Control

Whether navigating city streets or stretching out on the interstate, the Tahoe delivers a remarkably composed ride. The available Magnetic Ride Control suspension system smooths out rough surfaces, while Super Cruise hands-free driving adds an extra layer of comfort on long highway stretches. From the driver’s seat to the third row, every passenger enjoys the Tahoe’s signature blend of refinement and strength. The cabin remains quiet even at highway speeds, giving the feel of a true luxury vehicle without sacrificing rugged capability.

Room for Everyone—and Everything

Inside, the Tahoe’s cabin is spacious, welcoming, and smartly designed. With 42 inches of second-row legroom and generous third-row space, there’s plenty of room for passengers of all sizes. The Tahoe also shines when it’s time to pack up and go, offering up to 122.7 cubic feet of cargo capacity, making it one of the most accommodating SUVs on the road. Whether it’s luggage, sports gear, or groceries, there’s space to spare.

Every detail feels premium, from the standard 17.7-inch touchscreen and 11-inch digital gauge display to available leather-appointed seating and Bose premium audio. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard across all trims, keeping everyone connected wherever the road leads. Available ambient lighting, tri-zone climate control, and optional massaging front seats elevate every mile into a first-class experience.

Design That Commands Attention

At over 17 feet long, the 2026 Tahoe makes a bold impression. Its strong stance, confident lines, and refreshed front-end styling reflect Chevrolet’s commitment to both power and presence. Available 24-inch wheels and striking color choices help this full-size SUV stand out in any setting, from suburban streets to weekend getaways.

Smart Features for Modern Drivers

Chevrolet packed the Tahoe with intuitive technology that makes daily life easier. A hands-free power liftgate simplifies loading and unloading. Advanced trailering technology, including Boat Ramp Assist and Trailer Navigation, helps take the stress out of towing. And for off-road enthusiasts, the Z71 trim adds all-terrain tires, extra ground clearance, and a skid plate for added protection when the pavement ends.

Safety That Inspires Confidence

The Tahoe’s reputation for safety continues with a 5-Star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Every model includes advanced driver-assistance features like Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, and HD Surround Vision. From highway commutes to weekend adventures, the Tahoe keeps drivers and passengers well-protected.

The Full-Size SUV That Does It All

The 2026 Chevy Tahoe blends timeless capability with the latest in comfort and technology. Whether it’s hauling a trailer, carrying the whole family, or taking a well-earned road trip, this SUV rises to every challenge with confidence and class. For Missouri families looking for a vehicle that’s as dependable as it is dynamic, the Tahoe remains in a class of its own, big, bold, and built to do it all.

Crunch Mode: Activated. The 2026 Trailblazer Serves Up Flavor, Function, and Fun

When it comes to small SUVs, few models balance space, technology, and confidence like the 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer. Perfectly sized between the smaller Trax and the larger Equinox, the Trailblazer hits that “just right” mark for drivers who want style, practicality, and capability, all wrapped up in one smart package here at the Mid Missouri Powerhouse. 

Designed for Real Life

The 2026 Trailblazer is built with versatile and demanding drivers in mind. It’s compact enough for easy parking around town yet spacious enough for weekend getaways or family errands. Inside, you’ll find a surprisingly roomy cabin with comfortable seating for five and generous cargo flexibility.

When the rear seats are folded down, cargo space expands dramatically. Need even more room? The front passenger seat also folds flat, creating a long load floor that’s perfect for camping gear, home projects, or that big box from the hardware store.

Confident Performance

Don’t let its size fool you, the Trailblazer delivers impressive capability for its class. A pair of turbocharged engine options give you the right balance of power and efficiency, while an available all-wheel drive system keeps you steady on rain-slick or gravel roads. Whether cruising I-70 or taking the backroads through the Ozarks, the Trailblazer provides a smooth, confident drive.

Its steering feels responsive, and the ride remains composed on both highways and local streets. The suspension handles rougher pavement well, making every trip, short or long, comfortable for everyone on board.

Tech That Works for You

The Trailblazer’s interior blends modern design with cutting-edge technology. A standard 11-inch high-definition touchscreen takes center stage, offering seamless wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity. From podcasts and playlists to navigation and calls, everything you need is right at your fingertips, no cords required.

USB-A and USB-C ports are available for front and rear passengers, so everyone can stay charged and connected. And with an available dual-panel panoramic sunroof, every drive feels a little more open and adventurous.

Comfort and Convenience

Step inside, and you’ll notice right away how easy the Trailblazer is to get in and out of. The slightly elevated ride height provides great visibility while making entry and exit simple for all ages. The seats are supportive and comfortable, even during long drives.

Rear passengers benefit from generous legroom and headroom, and with the optional panoramic roof, the cabin feels even more spacious. Climate controls are intuitive, keeping everyone comfortable regardless of the season. The cabin stays pleasantly quiet, with just a hint of turbo growl when you hit the accelerator.

Safety and Peace of Mind

Chevrolet continues to prioritize safety, and the 2026 Trailblazer is no exception. Every model includes Chevy Safety Assist, a suite of advanced driver-assistance features designed to help you stay alert and protected. Standard features include:

• Automatic Emergency Braking

• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning

• Forward Collision Alert

• Front Pedestrian Braking

• Following Distance Indicator

• IntelliBeam® Automatic High Beams

For even more confidence, available upgrades add features like Blind Zone Steering Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and Adaptive Cruise Control. Parents will also love Teen Driver Technology, which encourages good driving habits and provides feedback reports to help monitor young drivers.

Style That Stands Out

The Trailblazer’s design blends bold styling with practical proportions. From its sculpted lines and signature grille to its available two-tone roof, this SUV commands attention without trying too hard. Trims like the RS and ACTIV offer distinct personalities—RS for a sporty edge, ACTIV for rugged flair. Whichever you choose, you’ll turn heads wherever you go.

Everyday Value, Exceptional Versatility

What makes the 2026 Trailblazer truly special is how well it fits a wide range of lifestyles. It’s compact enough for first-time SUV buyers and efficient enough for daily commuters, yet spacious and capable enough for families on the move.

It’s the kind of vehicle that can handle school drop-offs one day and weekend camping trips the next, all with the same level of comfort and confidence.
