The Newswheel.com Features What's Coming Soon For 2021 Chevy Silverado 2500HD

Brand new standard features, options, and several new packages are in store for the Chevy Silverado 2500 HD, and the staff on duty at The Newswheel.com offered up a great feature on their blog last week outlining the details and developments! According to a new GM Authority report that outlined the 2500 HD's new changes, there will now be a new standard front seat for the Work Truck, Custom, and LT trims. As opposed to the previous plain 40/20/40-split-bench seat, these models will now see a split-bench providing upper covered armrest storage.

The Work Truck and Custom trims will also see two front USB ports instead of one, and the Work Truck will see the availability of SiriusXM for streaming and live entertainment options. On higher trim levels, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are brand new for 2021 and will be available on the LT and standard on the LTZ and High Country. A new auto-dimming rear view mirror will be available for the Work Truck, Custom, and LT, and it touts a very cool feature: there is a partial video display of the cargo bed, by means of a Bed View Camera positioned on the truck's center high-mounted brake light.

Outside, the Silverado 2500 HD will have two new paint colors: Cherry Red Tintcoat and Mosaic Black Metallic. There will also be a few new wheel options in the form of an 18-inch design and 5 new 20-inch variants. Under the hood, the regular-cab Work Truck will now see E85 FlexFuel capacity for its 6.6-liter V8 gas engine, and the new Safety Essentials Package will bring Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, and other new tech features to the Custom and Work Truck trims.

All of us here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse are always looking at what options may be the best for someone running a construction or hauling business that requires a tougher-than- average stance in a truck. The LTZ Premium Texas Edition adds several driver-assist technologies and special wheels and badging, and we have always had our eyes on the darkened and daunting Midnight Edition: it offers up blacked-out styling, Z71 badging, 18-inch Gloss Black aluminum wheels, and the spray-on bed-liner for LTZ and LT trims. The Z71 Sport Edition adds Z71 badging and a chrome skid plate to the mix, and we also have always had much love for the Carhartt Special Edition as well, which adds 20-inch machined aluminum wheels as well as unique Carhartt-branded elements like badging, interior trim, floor-liner logos, and headrest embroidery.

2021 Chevy Blazer Now Sees Active Safety Features Across Most Trims

During the sunny, warm days of Summer here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse, we have talked to so many loyal customers that love the aggressive styling and raw practicality found in the new Blazer. Now as we scour the internet for information regarding all incoming models, the always awesome folks on staff at Autoblog.com served up the story about the 2021 model offering a trailering package, perfect for the lake or a tougher-than-average day on the job. It makes a 4,500 – lb tow rating available on front-wheel-drive trims that have the 3.6-liter V6.

As disclosed to the public by GM-Trucks, the list of minor adjustments to the new year's model doesn't stop there. The biggest change is that four of the six Blazer respective trims are now getting six active safety features standard. When the Blazer was introduced, buyers needed to pay to get some of the best in current-technology safety features like automatic emergency braking and forward collision alert on the Premier and RS top-level trims. From now on a Chevy Safety Assist Package combines AEB with pedestrian detection, lane keep assist with lane departure warning, following distance indicator, forward collision alert, and Intellibeam headlights that automatically toggle between high and low beams.

 

For 2021 the Safety Assist package will now be standard on the 2LT, 3LT, RS, and Premier trim models. Adaptive Cruise Control is offered on the RS and Premier trims as part of the Driver Confidence II Package, along with enhanced automatic emergency braking, HD Surround Vision, LED headlights, rear camera mirror, safety alert seat, and wireless smartphone charging. There are also four new colors to choose from this year: Cayenne Orange Metallic, Iron Gray Metallic, Pewter Metallic, and the premium Cherry Red Tincoat.

The RS trim in front-wheel drive now snags an 18-inch aluminum spare wheel instead of the current steel number, and the performance-enhancing advanced all-wheel-drive system with two clutches on the rear axle is just an option for the RS trim and not Premier. The Premier trim steps up from the Chevy Infotainment 3 Premium system to Chevy Infotainment 3 Plus, which is also now offered as standard on the RS.

Here MotorTrend dubs the new Blazer as the “Camaro of SUVs” and loved how the interior was freshened and it possessed extreme competence on the road. Thanks to the 3.6-liter V6 that cranks out 308 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque, this AWD runs the quick race from 0 to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds, and this particular blog’s staff would enjoy seeing the LT1 V8 from the outgoing C7 Corvette dumped into the Blazer just for high-powered and haughty giggles. We also understand that channeling all of that power would require Chevy’s very best front drive based all-wheel-drive system, with appropriate hardening to handle the torque output. We hope to see you here soon this summer at the Mid MO Powerhouse, where amazing deals like the brand-new Blazer will be rolling off the lot repeatedly after production!

Never Short on Convenience: 2021 Chevy Tahoe Boasts Power Sliding Center Console

GM Authority has long been one of the best sources for us here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse to keep up on coming features, trends, and release dates to relay back to our customers. Now during the days of summer is a great time to plant your self at the table with a cold beverage and check out the incoming model that may be the ultimate choice for your family! One of the features that are worthy of being highlighted on the next-gen Chevy Tahoe is the new power-sliding center console, which is showcased in this advertisement.

It begins with an exterior shot of the Tahoe, planted outdoors next to a beautiful lake. It is presented in the top-of-the-line High Country trim level, which sees the Power Sliding Center Console included in the Deluxe package. You also get to enjoy a power panoramic sunroof, power-retractable assist steps, Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control, the Max Trailering Package, and Air Ride Adaptive Suspension. After the characters in the ad climb inside, the passenger in the front seat activates an overhead button, which slides the center console towards the passengers behind him in the second row.

 

The video then explains the way the console can move up to 10 inches, then being able to be useful for a few different purposes. When its positioned all of the ways back, it provides passengers in the rear with two cup holders. It also offers up other storage compartments for essentials such as various groceries, gallons of milk, and hidden compartments for valuables that are better off out of sight. There's also a flat area ideal for a purse, laptop bag, or small traveling backpack. The 2021 Chevy Tahoe will over this awesome new Power Sliding Center Console later this year, and the Suburban and GMC Yukon are supposed to see it added to the lineup as well.

The competition from the fiery and fierce Ford camp has employed a five-link rear suspension that has three lateral links per side and two trailing links. The designers of the Tahoe went with a four-link design using one very long trailing link and another lower lateral link that does the duty of carrying the sprig/damper mount. This is the ingredient that is said to offer up better ride isolation on the Tahoe because of the presence of a bigger bushing where it mounts to the body.

The greater dimensions is the key element that are exciting consumers looking for the new Tahoe: many urban dwellers are looking for a tiny car powered by electricity, but this is for the family that loves recreation and does not have an interest in feeling overly cramped at every turn. When you victoriously haul the boats and other toys out to the lake after a week in the office, The Chevy towing app can store multiple trailer profiles that allow you to keep a close eye on temperature and tire pressure, and make adjustments to the blind spot warning system based on the trailer dimensions.

Chevy Tahoe and Equinox Hailed With Addition to List of Most Reliable Cars for Families in 2020

Here at the Mid-Missouri Powerhouse we are excited about the Tahoe and Equinox: Both made U.S. News and World Report's list of the Most Reliable Cars for Families in 2020. Just a small dose of the criteria was that these vehicles have a user-friendly infotainment system, advanced safety features, and a very spacious interior. Most importantly, they should be dependable, and the 2020 Chevy Tahoe is a full-size SUV that can comfortably accommodate 8 or 9 occupants depending on the model you choose, and boasts 94.7 cubic feet of cargo.

U.S. News and World Report writer Kevin Linder highlighted the fact that the 2020 Chevy Tahoe now boasts a perfect predicted reliability rating of five out of five, which only a very small handful of new vehicles on the road today can boast. Also earning this 5 out of 5 reliability rating is the 2020 Chevy Equinox, the stylish crossover with room for five, and a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. The 2020 Chevy Equinox fuel ratings also help you and your family conquer the more open road.

Both vehicles have great crash test ratings, as well as a good list of standard safety technologies like pre-collision braking and lane-keeping assist. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the 2020 Equinox a 5-star Overall Safety Rating, once again clarifying that it is situated at the top as far as family use. The Equinox also saw a high level of praise from Car and Driver, due to its spry driving demeanor, high efficiency, and ample space for cargo and passengers. Make sure to check out the Midnight Edition Package: it is new on LT models and blacks out just about everything, giving it a certain sense of commanding charm and mystery.

Available with either rear or all-wheel drive the Tahoe is based on the underpinnings of the Chevy Silverado pickup. This results in good qualities regarding ground clearance and towing capability, and this vehicle offers up comfortable seating for 8. If you want to step up to a bit more raw power and aggression, Premier trims for the Tahoe is where you get to score the 6.2-liter V8. The testing model that the Car and Driver staff got their hands on made it from zero to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds through this burlier engine, and all-wheel-drive models now boast a max tow rating of 8400 pounds.

You can’t go wrong with the vehicle that has its own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the Suburban is in most ways the better choice for someone with more cargo or people they are driving around.
