2018 Chevy Traverse Debut and Teaser Image

When we think of the Chevy Traverse we immediately picture a vast and practical SUV that can take on the passenger and cargo challenges of a large family.

What Might Be New on the 2018 Traverse?

The teaser image for the 2018 Chevy Traverse (visible at the top of this blog) shows a very similar profile to the 2017 Chevy Traverse that we have come to know and love, however, there are some subtle differences. We think that the window line of the new Traverse is slightly more curved. There may also be subtle differences with the front and rear fascia, though the lighting of the teaser image makes it difficult to say.

Chevrolet has already released information that the Traverse will have seating for a maximum of eight passengers and will be on the path to have the top cargo space and third-row legroom dimensions in the segment. We will be able to learn more about features and capabilities when the 2018 Chevy Traverse has its world debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on Jan. 9, 2017.

Camaro ZL1 Performance Features

The standard 2016 Chevy Camaro offers multiple engine options, including one that was honored as one of Ward’s Ten Best Engines, but the new engine and performance enhancements in the Camaro ZL1 are going to blow them out of the water. Some performance features include:

The 2017 Chevy Camaro ZL1 is 90 kilograms lighter than the previous model, which creates an improved power-to-weight ratio. That means even more engaging handling and maneuverability. Best of all, this vehicle is track-ready straight from the factory floor.

The ZL1 will feature stylish and supportive Recaro front seats and a suede flat-bottom steering wheel and shift knob.

2016 Chevy Colorado release date

It’s been an exciting couple of days for news on Chevy and GMC 2016 models. One vehicle that will feature a variety of anticipation-worthy options is the Chevy Colorado. This excellent Chevy truck, just redesigned in 2015, is going to come with new, even more impressive options in the coming year, like a diesel engine, the Midnight Edition, and improved off-road possibilities.

Chevy Colorado Midnight Edition

First introduced on the Chevy Silverado, the Midnight Edition’s stark black effect is striking.

Chevy Colorado Z71 Trail Boss

The 2016 Chevy Colorado will also come in a Z71 Trail Boss version for those with a taste for off-roading. Jumping off from the Z71’s already strong off-road suspension, the Trail Boss edition will pair black-finished aluminum wheels and all-terrain tires for the best ride. The Trail Boss will be available in two-wheel or four-wheel drive. Interior all-weather floor mats and some external enhancements will make it even easier to take to the countryside.

Chevy Builds Partnership to Optimize Trailering Technology

Chevy Partners with RVIA and NATM

There are plenty of reasons that families and individuals want premium towing power. Whether they need to haul a horse trailer to a fair around Manitoba, or enjoy moving a boat or serious cargo with ease, it is important for truck owners to have competent and easy-to-use trailering options. To make current advanced Chevy towing technology even better, Chevrolet has partnered with two other groups. With the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) and the National Association of Trailer Manufacturers (NATM), Chevrolet plans to make even better options for customer’s trailering needs.

We don’t have news about what advanced Chevy towing technology may come out of these partnerships. However, here at Craig Dunn Motor City we think that even more intuitive and driver-optimized towing technology will be on the way. There have already been some recent advances making towing and hauling much easier.

2016 Chevy Silverado 3500HD pulling a trailerAdvanced Chevy Towing Technology

Chevy truck owners can already enjoy several advnaced features when it comes to trailering with confidence. Some of them include an elite trailering camera that can show a view from up to four locations in and around a trailer; digital steering assistance first available on the 2016 Chevy Silverado HD, and a convenient 5th wheel trailering packages that allows drivers to have their trucks optimized for heavy hauling straight from the factory floor.

“Our owners are often towing something, from an RV to construction equipment, that is more valuable than their truck,” said Tim Herrick, General Motors future truck executive chief engineer, in a recent Chevy press release. “Unequivocally, they tell us that they are looking for a better towing experience. Safer, easier, with more integration between their trailer and their truck.”

Keep watching the Craig Dunn Motor City blog, or contact a member of our sales team, to learn more about advanced Chevy towing technology available now and coming in the future.

New Chevy Air Intake on Diesel Heavy Duty Trucks

2017 Chevy Silverado HD Diesel Technology

We have just heard our first snippet of information about the 2017 Chevy Silverado and it’s extremely exciting. We have already been impressed by the capability and fuel efficiency of the Duramax diesel engine on the 2016 Chevy Colorado. With the new model year, 2017 Chevy Silverado HD diesel technology will be making a giant step forward with a new air intake system.

With the new Chevy air intake on heavy duty trucks, Silverado drivers will be able to confidently drive and tow even more. The new system works by drawing relatively cool air in through a top intake, forcing it through filters and systems to remove any excess water, and then streaming it efficiently to the engine. With this refined air intake, the Duramax diesel engine on 2017 Silverado HD models should be able to hold onto power and speed better under many conditions, including heavy rain or highway slush.

There is no news yet on a Canadian release date for the 2017 Chevy Silverado 2500HD, be we are excited about his new advanced air intake, which may also be appearing in the 2017 GMC Sierra Denali.

Other Advanced Chevy Technology

This new air intake is far from the first technological advance that will be available on Chevy models. In addition to new technology like a refined 10-speed transmission that was just release for the 2017 Camaro, Silverado heavy-duty models have previously enjoyed advances in digital steering, and advanced trailering camera systems. This new air intake on the 2017 Chevy Silverado HD is just the latest example of Chevy brilliant engineering, and its determination to always push to the front of automotive excellence.

Flashback Friday: Chevy Camaro Celebrates 50 Years

Today’s Flashback Friday is going to be something of a celebration of both the past and the present. Here at Craig Dunn Motor City, we believe that anniversaries are worth celebrating. The Chevy Camaro celebrates 50 years of muscle car elegance this year, so we are looking at a few of the incarnations that have made this model stand out over half a century.

First Generation

The public, craving speed and style for the drag racing wars of the late 60s, fell in love with the First Generation Camaro (1967-69). One of our favorites cars is the performance-optimized 1967 Chevy Camaro Z28 (pictured).

Second Generation

From 1970 to 1981, the Camaro lost horsepower (because of new automotive emissions restrictions) but it gained a lower center of gravity and wider base, which made its handling a dream. Pictured: The 1979 Chevy Camaro Z28.

Third Generation

The Third Generation (1982-92) offered a refined suspension with enhanced track handling. It also marked the advent of the 1LE track pack and a Motor Trend Car of the Year awardPictured: 1992 Chevy Camaro Z28 Convertible.

Fourth Generation

A redesigned front fascia and performance enhancements make the 1993-2002 Camaro stand out. The 1998 model finally achieved the high engine outputs that had been lost to tightened emissions standards. Pictured: 1998 Chevy Camaro SS.

Fifth Generation

After a seven-year hiatus, the Camaro returned looking closer to the sleek muscle car we know today. This model was a top seller, and also earned the honor of being an Indianapolis 500 Pace carPictured: 2010 Chevy Camaro SS.

Sixth Generation Camaro

Now we come to the modern era of Camaro elegance. With new, award winning engine options, and the latest technology like the all-new 10-speed automatic transmission in the 2017 Chevy Camaro ZL1, the newest Camaro generation is already making a powerful and confident statement. We can’t wait to see where this confident vehicle will drive to next. Check out our new Camaro inventory today.

Chevy Silverado 2500 helps this couple live life in the wild

There are some days when you just feel the need to get away. You might need to get out of town for a few hours, a few days or maybe even a few weeks. Getting out of the city can help people clear their heads and allow them to relax. One couple from Philadelphia has decided to “get out of town” for a while. They decided to quit their jobs, build a trailer and just drive. They live in the wild and create their own camp each day and they do it all with the help of a 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500. The Chevy Silverado 2500 helps this couple live life in the wild.

Mark Christy and Nives Riddles have chosen to travel through Arizona’s deserts and into the Sierra Nevadas. They are also documenting their journey on their personal blog called Camp by Camp. The both have a passion for the outdoors and they decided to act on it after spending a weekend hiking to the Grand Canyon. They soon after sold everything they owned and bought a small military trailer that they converted into mobile living quarters. Another crucial part of their operation is their 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500. The truck helps them get where they need to go, even though the journey is off the beaten path.

The couple often travels to secluded locations where it would take hours to get back to find help, so its important for them to have a vehicle they can rely on. So far it hasn’t left them stranded or stuck anywhere. They have no real destination in mind, they just travel in the direction they want to go and see where it leads them. They have been on this journey since fall of 2014, and they don’t show any signs of stopping. They are just going to keep going until they don’t want to anymore.

Here at Craig Dunn Motor City, we really admire the Camp by Camp project. If you want to start your own adventure, check out the 2015 Chevy Silverado 2500. This powerful truck can take you wherever you need to go, with everything you need in tow. Whether your adventure lasts a weekend or months, the Silverado is here for you. Schedule a test drive today!

2017 Chevy Performance Parts

With the 2016 SEMA Show, Chevrolet has released a number of performance-enhancing parts that will make the Camaro, Cruze and various Chevy trucks burn even more rubber (in a good way). We’re not sure how many of these 2017 Chevy performance parts will be available here in Manitoba, but we are sure that these or enhancements like them will be available some day. It’s fun to get a preview of them now.

Camaro Performance Enhancement

2016 SEMA Chevy Camaro with specialty performance partsWhile the base 2017 Chevy Camaro can burn up the track or the road, adding new 2017 Chevy performance parts can give this great muscle car even more oomph. SS models with the V6 and 2.0-liter engines can be enhanced with parts ranging from a brake upgrade (which features six-piston front calipers and sturdier rotors), a suspension upgrade (with enhanced handling or lowering) and even a new performance air intake.

Chevy Truck Performance Parts for 2017

Both appearance and practical accessories and enhancement will be available for Chevy trucks (including the Silverado and Colorado) in the new year. One of the newest options is a performance exhaust kit. Available with the 5.3-liter engine and 6.2-liter engine, this kit can deliver an extra 10 horsepower or 7 horsepower (respectively). Other available truck accessories will include custom wheels, side steps, bed liners, tonneau covers, and floor liners.

Cruze and Malibu Performance Parts

For those seeking a little more street-level zip for their Chevy sedan, there are also options, like a suspension lowering kit with stiffer springs, an enhance cornering system, and a new front stabilizer that can drop the 2017 Chevy Cruze Hatch 0.4 inches. The Cruze will also be available with a refined air intake and and exhaust system, while the Malibu will also be available with enhancements. The Cruze and Malibu Blue Line Concept cars at SEMA 2016 debuted some of these premium parts.

Engine options on the 2016 Chevy Camaro

This last weekend the 2016 Chevy Camaro premiered in Canada at the 17th Annual St. Catharines Powertrain Show & Shine. The new Camaro comes with one of three powertrain options, and each engine selection is an example of the high quality workmanship coming out of the St. Catharines Powertrain facility in Ontario. While each of the engine options on the 2016 Chevy Camaro offers enough horsepower to satisfy the soul of any speed-fiend, they have distinctly different advantages, depending on what you are looking for in a muscle car.

Efficient and powerful Ectotec 2.0L turbo

If efficiency is your goal, the Ectotec 2.0L turbo is your best friend, putting out 275 horsepower, 295 pound-feet of torque, and an estimated fuel consumption rating of just 7.8 L/100 km on the highway. This highly effective engine premiered in 2013 on the Chevy Malibu and has been improving ever since.

Three 2016 Camaro trim options

Next evolution of the 3.6L V-6

Right in the middle of the 2016 Camaro’s engine options falls the 3.6L V-6. This engine has the best specific output of any naturally aspirated V-6 with 335 horsepower, and is sure to make the Camaro fly.

LT1 6.2L V-8 powerhouse

Of course, if you are in the mood for pure power, the 2016 Camaro has that in spades with the LT1 6.2L V-8 available on the SS trim. This gorgeous piece of machinery can deliver a whopping 455 horsepower matched with 455 pound-feet of torque. That makes the 2016 Camaro the most powerful SS ever.

The delivery date for the 2016 model is still a few months off, but you can test drive a 2015 Chevy Camaro right away by filling out our convenient online form or contacting us. Get a feel for the first rate Canadian craftsmanship powering this incredibly stylish vehicle or even take advantage of our new Chevrolet liquidation today.
