2017 Chevy Silverado Canadian colour options

The 2017 Chevy Silverado may be known for its brute strength and reliability, but one of our favorite things about the pickup truck is that it allows drivers to customize to fit their preferences. The 2017 Silverado has a variety of options and packages drivers can choose from, and they can also take their pick of interior and exterior colour options.

2017 Chevy Silverado exterior body paint options

Where to see fall foliage near Portage la Prairie, MB

With the hot summer winding down (sort of), that means a couple things; snow is coming soon and fall colours are coming sooner! Yes, with the end of summer comes the beauty of fall. Green leaves start to age and turn into vibrant red and yellow dying leaves, until they inevitably die and fall from the tree, only to grow back again in the spring. The temporary end of life ironically brings the most beautiful time of year to southern Manitoba. Continue reading to learn about where you can see gorgeous fall foliage in the Portage la Prairie area.

What better way to spend a cool Saturday than by enjoying quality family time at the park?

What Awards Has the Chevy Malibu Won?

When you’re looking for a new car, there are many ways to choose, ranging from sheer power output to how stylish it looks driving down the highway, but one excellent criteria for choosing a new vehicle is what sort of awards it has won. For a vehicle that has raked in the honors (and promises to continue to do so) may we recommend the Chevy Malibu.

But what awards has the Chevy Malibu won? The Malibu has taken awards in categories like safety, value, and overall excellence.

Chevy Malibu Best Car for the Money

Way back in 2011, the 2011 Chevy Malibu was honored as the Best Car for the Money by the U.S. News & World Report. That same dedication to including top features at a reasonable price has carried through all the way to the new 2016 Malibu coming soon to Craig Dunn.

In addition to top crash test scores, available features like blind spot detection, forward collision alerts, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, rear cross traffic alerts, and parking sensors all help keep folks safe on the road. Safety awards and honors the Chevy Malibu has taken home include:

  • 2015 and 2012 Top Safety Pick – Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)
  • 2014 Top Safety Pick + – IIHS
  • Five-Star Overall Vehicle Score for Safety – U.S National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
Chevy Malibu active safety features like pedestrian detection

The Malibu Eco has also received an overall Five-Star Overall Vehicle Score from the NHTSA and was a 2013 Top Safety Pick from the IIHS.

The excellent midsize Chevy Malibu sedan

The Chevy Malibu has also taken several overall awards for its quality as a midsize car. The 2014 Chevy Malibu has received a Segment Award in its class from the J.D. Power Initial Quality Study that year, and the 2015 Chevy Malibu repeated the feat in 2015. Just this year the 2012 Chevy Malibu also won the Segment Midsize Car Award for the J.D. Power Dependability Study.

As you can see from these awards, if you are looking for a midsize family sedan, then the new or even pre-owned Chevy Malibu is an excellent choice for any discerning car shopper.

2018 GMC Sierra 1500 vs 2018 Toyota Tundra

There are more pickup truck options on the market than many drivers might realize, with the Sierra 1500 and Toyota Tundra being two options worth considering. Trying to figure out which model to choose, however, can be time consuming and tedious. Because we want to make the research and buying process simple for all drivers, we’re here to compare the 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2018 Toyota Tundra side by side.

Performance Comparison of the Sierra 1500 and Tundra

Let’s start with what’s under the hood. With the Sierra 1500, you’re able to get the best option available, whether you prefer maximum horsepower, maximum torque or superior fuel efficiency. After all, fuel economy is still important in a pickup… you just bought a new truck, you drive from location to location for this project or that project, and you’ll want to save a bit on gas if you can. With the Sierra 1500’s superior 18 mpg city and 24 mpg highway, you can do just that.

But, like we said, the Sierra is also the way to go regardless of whether you want top horsepower output or top torque output. For example, the Tundra has a maximum horsepower output of 381 hp. If you care more about torque than horsepower, your max torque output on the Tundra will be 401 lb-ft. Though the Sierra 1500 has a variety of engines to suit the diverse needs of drivers, one of those engine options is a 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8 engine that can deliver 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, knocking out the Tundra’s maximum power output with one engine.

gmc sierra 1500 bed spaceSierra 1500 vs Tundra Capacity and Payload

So what about hauling stuff, which is what pickup trucks are best at, after all? When it comes to trailering, this is where the Tundra has one of the only advantages over the Sierra 1500, with a slightly better maximum towing capacity. But unless you do some real serious towing, the extra few hundred pounds of towing capacity from the Tundra aren’t going to benefit you much. Plus, the Sierra has HD models that can more sufficiently meet the needs of anyone who does some of the heaviest duty towing out there.

What you’re likely to care more about on a regular basis is payload capacity. The Sierra 1500 impresses here with 2,018 pounds, which is quite a bit better than the Tundra’s payload capacity. This means you’ll be able to worry less about loading heavy equipment into your truck bed and gives you some versatility in all those situations where a trailer won’t be used.

There is much more we could compare between the 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 and the 2018 Toyota Tundra, but it’s already clear that the Sierra has an edge in some key areas. To learn more or to get behind the wheel, contact us at Craig Dunn Motor City.

Chevy Cruze Beats out Honda Civic As Consumer Report Recommended Car

Each year, the Consumer Reports Auto Reliability Survey identifies which vehicle in any given category receives the highest rankings for vehicle dependability and drive satisfaction. This year, in a monumental change, the new Chevy Cruze beat out the Honda Civic in delivering this top score. We’re going to do a little Chevy Cruze vs Honda Civic comparison to see where each of these vehicles excelled or failed to excel.

Chevy Cruze vs Honda Civic

infotainment system on the 2017 Chevy CruzeBoth the 2016 and 2017 Chevy Cruze and the 2017 Honda Civic are compact vehicles that come well-equipped with high-value technology features. The 2017 Chevy Cruze is available both in sedan and hatchback body style, while the 2017 Honda Civic is available in sedan, coupe or hatchback form. The Cruze comes standard with a 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine rated for 153 horsepower and 177 pound-feet of torque. The Civic comes with either a 2.-liter four-cylinder (158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet) or a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder that starts at 174 horsepower and 162 pound-feet.

The Honda Civic has long been a leading vehicle in the Consumer Reports reliability study, but this year it lost that coveted spot to the elegant, engaging and fuel efficient Chevy Cruze. Throughout the study no vehicle performed better than the 2016 Chevy Cruze.

Technology Features on the Chevy Cruze

Though the Chevy Cruze performed impressively in this reliability study, that doesn’t mean that it lacked any kind of technological advantage. Standard features on the 2016 and 2017 Chevy Cruze include automatic headlights, air conditioning, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, Bluetooth connectivity, available 4G LTE Wi-Fi thanks to OnStar connectivity, a rearview camera and a seven-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.
