While the 2016 Chevy Silverado and the 2016 Chevy Colorado may not have a ton in common visually with the original trucks from Chevrolet, the company’s devotion to offering a high-quality hard-working vehicle hasn’t wavered. Since the very first Chevy truck rolled off the production line almost 100 years ago, Chevy truck history has been full of excellent vehicles that go above and beyond in their capability.

A New Era of Chevy Truck History: the 1930s

Cowl chassis were replaced in the 1930s with new, steel-body half-ton pickups with factory-installed beds and a remarkable new inline six-cylinder engine. These advances greatly increased the power and capability that these trucks could bring to the work site.

In 1937, Chevrolet revolutionized the truck industry with a new streamlined body style, a stronger structure, and an engine that could crank out 78 horsepower.

Looking at Chevy truck history, it’s easy to see how quality has been present from the very earliest days of the truck. From the early models that we just wrote about, to the stylish 1959 Chevy El Camino pickup utility vehicle (that looks like a cross between a pickup and a muscle-car) to the modern day Silverado equipped with eAssist, Chevy trucks have always been pushing the envelope on what can be achieved.

GMC Acadia All Terrain

Of course, you don’t only have to opt for a truck to enjoy going onto the trails. Thanks to a refined all-wheel drive system, the 2017 GMC Acadia All Terrain can also handle some of the roughest territory. This means that families with large seating needs can also enjoy camping and adventuring.

When it comes to fitting capability into a nimble and parkable package, midsize pickup trucks go the distance. Smaller than half-ton trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, this class lets drivers have the cargo carrying and towing ability they need without sacrificing the smaller nature of a sedan or crossover.

For years, the Chevrolet Colorado has been a staple and leader in this class. Delivering Chevrolet’s rock-solid reliability, a substantial number of configurations and an interior that is likely to let you forget you’re in a truck, the Colorado is a small truck that doesn’t ask you to make big compromises.

When it comes to seeing just how groundbreaking the Chevrolet Colorado has been for drivers in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba and beyond, one of the best things you can do is compare it to other models in its class. Today, we’re going to be matching up the 2018 Chevrolet Colorado with Honda’s unibody midsize truck, the Ridgeline.

While Chevrolet employs classic body-on-frame construction for their Colorado, the Ridgeline prefers crossover/car-grade unibody building.  Despite this substantial difference in approach, the two models compete in the same class. Here’s how they measure up!

With 2016 model year General Motors vehicles beginning to appear on dealerships across Canada even before the 2015 models have been sold, it can be a challenge to wade through features and details to decide which model is best for you. While the clearance prices and financing options on 2015 models can be pretty alluring, it can be hard sometimes to make the choice between a deal and the latest in technology options. So if you’ve been wondering what’s new between the 2016 Chevy Colorado vs 2015 Chevy Colorado keep reading to see a few of the options new for this coming model year.

Chevy Colorado Duramax Diesel

We’ve posted before about the Duramax diesel option that will be available on the 2016 Chevy Colorado, but it’s worth repeating, because diesel engines offer a host of advantages in longevity and efficiency that we think appeal to anyone wanting a reliable work truck or an efficient commuting vehicle. The 2.8-liter Duramax turbo diesel engine coming to the 2016 Chevy Colorado should be pretty awesome.

Available Specialty Editions

The 2016 Chevy Colorado will also be available in an all-black Midnight Edition and a Z71 Trail Boss Edition optimized for off-roading.

Integrated Trailer Brake Controller

Sometimes your trailer wheels will lock up if the weight of the trailer isn’t matched to the braking force applied. With the brake control options newly available on the 2016 Chevy Colorado the braking force applied to your trailer can be optimized to match the weight it is carrying, hopefully giving you even better, and safer, braking abilities.

Enhanced Infotainment Options

Another new feature coming to the 2016 Chevy Colorado is an improved driver information centre in the gauge cluster of the LT and Z71 trims. Featuring an enhanced multicoloured display, this feature should offer even better technology integration options.

Vehicles these days all have different grill sizes, from the lean lines of the Chevy Camaro to the wide intake lines of the GMC Sierra, and the shape of the grille can define the style of the car, from stylish, to aggressive, to downright weird. But looking at the array of different shapes and sizes of grilles even on the Chevy, GMC, and Buick vehicles on the lot at Craig Dunn begs the question “Why do cars even need grilles?” We investigated, so keep reading for the best answer we could find.

New GM Inventory

What do car grilles do?

While the look of a grille is certainly vitally important for customer satisfaction, each grille also plays a very important role in cooling the vehicle’s engine, specifically the radiator. Without some way for air to flow into the engine compartment, a car would pose a major risk of overheating. While many modern cars could get enough air cooling through vents underneath the vehicle (and so could skip the front grille) it’s more effective and cool to have a grille in the front.

So while the grille is important, that leave a lot of leeway for how it actually looks. Just by looking at grille designs through the ages (and a handful of modern options) it’s easy to see that the grille can define the style of the car.

New grille technology can improve performance

While grilles come in all shapes and sizes, some technology using them can even improve performance. Many modern cars like the 2016 Chevy Volt and the 2016 GMC Canyon have aerodynamic technology that will close some of the grille grating when the vehicle is moving at top speeds. This reduces drag and improved aerodynamic flow. Other vehicles like the elite performance trims of the Chevy Camaro have specializes airflow paths built into the hood so that air can easily move through the engine and out in such a way that the Camaro can maintain its tight hold on the track and efficiently cool the radiator.

Basically, cars do still need grilles, and every year they are getting cooler than ever.
