All-Wheel Drive vs Four-Wheel Drive

What is the Difference Between All-Wheel Drive and Four-Wheel Drive?

Sometimes when you are shopping for a new vehicle you will come across terms and features that you are unsure of. Cars have so many features that it can be difficult to know each and every one. That’s why Serra Toyota is here to help. Today we’re going to help answer the questions, “What is the difference between all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive?”.

What is All-Wheel Drive?

All-Wheel Drive (AWD) is a powertrain capability that many vehicles have. A vehicle that is equipped with all-wheel drive can temporarily transfer power to all four-driving wheels automatically when the need is sensed by the vehicle. This is particularly helpful when roads are icy, covered in snow or any other condition where tires could slip suddenly. This feature is most commonly found on cars and crossovers, like the 2015 Chevy Traverse.

What is Four-Wheel Drive?

A vehicle equipped with four-wheel drive (4×4) can transfer power from two wheels to all four wheels upon driver demand, usually by pushing a button of turning a switch. If you live in a place, like Winnipeg, where it snows for many months out of the year, you will want to all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive high on your list of options you want on your next new vehicle. This feature is most often found on larger vehicles like the 2015 Chevy Canyon2015 GMC Sierra2015 Chevy Silverado or other similar vehicles.

If you interested in learning more about these performance features, call or visit Craig Dunn Motor City today. Our skilled staff will be able to answer any further questions you might have about the features that are available with Buick GMC Chevy vehiclesSchedule a test drive today!

Against the Competition

The Silverado is also keeping in step with the competition. The Chevy Silverado’s truck bed is made of high-strength steel, and the 2019 Ford F-Series truck beds are made of aluminum.

The long box of the 2019 Chevy Silverado beats the 2019 Ford F-Series as well with 89 cubic feet versus 77 cubic feet.

Available colors for the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Colors available at an extra charge: Siren Red Tintcoat, Deep Ocean Blue Metallic, Iridescent Pearl Tricoat

These specialized paints offer the most unique and aesthetic schemes available, with the latter only being available on Crew Cab models. Depending on where you stand on the importance of truck color, the extra charge is certainly worthwhile.

New in 2017: Pepperdust Metallic, Graphite Metallic

These colors were never available prior to 2017. Pepperdust Metallic doesn’t sound like much of a color, but its closet resemblance would be pewter. It is a neutral, almost Earth-toned paintjob that looks as classy as any choice. The Graphite Metallic, however, is more striking. It is similar to Black, but is more bold and clean.

Should you lease your next car?

Leasing a Car in Portage la Prairie

When you are looking for a new vehicle, one of the many decisions you will have to make is whether you should buy or lease. There are many benefits to both options, but today we’re going to look at the benefits of leasing a car in Portage la Prairie at Craig Dunn Motor City. This GM dealership offers a wide selection of vehicles for you to lease. Let’s take a look at why you should take advantage of this opportunity.

Is leasing cheaper?

First let’s look at the price difference between buying and leasing. When you lease a vehicle, you will have a lower down payment. Often time the down payment even includes the first month payment, so you are getting a great deal. Another factor to consider is monthly payments. Leasing payments can be up to 50 percent less than your monthly payment if you purchase a vehicle. After considering both the initial down payment and the monthly payments, leasing is the more affordable option.

Who pays the repairs on a leased car?

When you lease a car from a dealership, like Craig Dunn Motor City, you can also save a lot of money when it comes to maintenance costs. When you lease a vehicle, you can choose to lease for a time period that directly overlaps with the warranty of the vehicle. By doing this, all repairs will be covered.

What kind of car can you lease?

Most of the time, you are able to lease any new vehicle on the lot. You still get the benefit of driving a brand new car, you just get it for a more affordable price and most of the maintenance repairs will be covered. Sounds like a pretty good deal!

Here at Craig Dunn Motor City, we offer a wide variety of vehicles for lease. Our finance department will help you find a vehicle and payment plan that work for you. Schedule a test drive to today to see the first hand advantages of leasing a vehicle from Craig Dunn Motor City.

Ways to Improve Fuel Efficiency

Ways to Improve Fuel Efficiency this Summer

Most people schedule their road trips for the summertime. The weather is nice, the roads are clear and everyone is ready for an adventure. One of the issues with taking long road trips is that it takes a lot of fuel, that means a lot of time and money spent fueling up. To help you decrease both of these things, we’re going to tell you some ways to improve fuel efficiency this Summer.

Obey the Speed Limit
Fuel Economy tends to decrease once you start going over 80kph (50mph). The faster you go, the more fuel you waste and the more dangerous it will be.

Drive Smart
Make smart decisions while on the road. Aggressive driving like speeding, rapid acceleration and braking can waste gas and cause strain on your vehicle. This will not only give you better fuel economy, but it will also be safer for you and those around you.

Avoid Hauling Extra Cargo
If you can avoid it, it’s best not to haul anything on the roof of your vehicle. This can increase aerodynamic drag and lowers your fuel economy. Try to bring everything you need inside the vehicle to get the best out of your fuel consumption.

Use Cruise Control
By maintaining a constant speed, you can save on gas, so it’s best to use cruise control when you are driving on the highway.

These are just a few tips for improving your fuel economy. If you plan on doing a lot of driving all year long, the best thing you can do is buy a fuel efficient vehicle, like the 2015 Chevy Cruze. This vehicle is compact yet spacious and has impressive performance capabilities. Learn more about this and other fuel efficient vehicles at Craig Dunn Motor City in Portage la Prairie, MB.

How can I keep my car’s cabin from getting too hot?

Tips to keep your car cool this summer

The summer is on its way and that means hot cars. When your car has been sitting out in the sun all day, it can be a little too much to step inside immediately. The seat belt is hot to the touch and the air is muggy. You don’t have to worry about that if you follow these tips to keep your car cool this summer.

Cars in a parking lot

Windows and Doors

The old-fashioned way of doing things is cracking open the window before leaving your car. That can help a little bit. The other is to let the hot air out of the vehicle by opening the door and letting the cooler air go in. This way makes it a little easier to take the heat but it’s always going to be a little warm inside.

Covers

You can always cover your vehicle. There are whole car covers that you can put over your vehicle to make sure that the sunlight reflects off the cover and not heat up your vehicle’s interior. Covering the seats with blankets can help make them less hot, especially when you have leather seats.

Tools

There have been some advancements in car technology like solar powered fans and sunshades to help reflect the light from your vehicle. The fans can help you and your vehicle be less cold when you step inside. Many of these tools are inexpensive and can help you have a cool summer.

How to maintain your vehicle this spring

Spring Cleaning Tips for your Car

It’s been a long winter, and the weather is finally going to feel like spring. There are lots of things to do around the house, and there are more when it comes to your vehicle. We have some spring cleaning tips for your car to take a look at. Let’s see what you can do to better maintain your vehicle. 


READ MORE: Road Trip Tips


Spring cleaning written over flowers and grass

Wipers

After a long winter, you may need to replace your windshield wipers. Your wipers have been sliding snow, slush, and ice off your vehicle for many months. This is a good time to make sure they can do the job for the summer. If not, don’t forget to get a new pair for your summer needs.

Tires

Your tires are probably worn from all that driving. It’s easy to not get maintenance work done on your vehicle after work when the sun is nowhere to be seen. That is why you should fill up your tires, see if they need to be rotated or replaced. You should replace your tires every 6,000 miles or so.

Interior

While you are tidying up the house, you should also be tidying up the inside of your vehicle. Make sure to take out the garbage from your vehicle and organize your glovebox. This will help your driving experience by having a clean vehicle, inside and out.

Winter Folk Fest

Portage la Prairie Winter Folk Fest

February in Canada can be pretty melancholy. If you are anything like us, we are ready for spring and for a little less snow. Even though we might be feeling blue, there are plenty of exciting events to check out to help cheer us all up. One of these events is the Portage la Prairie Winter Folk Fest. This year is the third annual Folk Fest and it just keeps getting better with more local singers and songwriters and plenty of opportunity to get in a better mood.

The Portage la Prairie Winter Folk Fest started in 2013. It provides a fun winter retreat to warm your mind, body and soul. It is in the middle of February to help get rid of those winter blues. It is held downtown at the large historic Trinity United Church in Portage la Prairie. This church provides the perfect environment because of its acoustics and welcoming feel. Even though the festival expands each year, they still make an effort to make the event feel intimate and enjoyable experience.

The festival is a non-profit organization that aims to connect local and regional folk music community. This year the Winter Folk Fest is taking place on February 8th , 2015 starting at 1:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased online or at the door. The children under 12 are free, students 13 and above are $15 (with academic institution ID required for students 18 and older) and adult tickets are $20. Even if folk music isn’t your thing, there are plenty of other activities to participate in. There will be snacks and refreshments available throughout the day, including chili, coffee, hot chocolate, biscotti and more.

If you need a cure for the winter blues, head on over to the Portage la Prairie Winter Folk Fest this weekend. Another great way to cheer yourself up this winter, is by buying a new vehicle from Craig Dunn Motor City. We have a variety of new GMC, Buick and Chevy vehicles for you to choose from.
