Have you been shopping for the biggest and beefiest Chevy trucks near me? You may be surprised to hear that looks are just one of the perks when considering a dually truck. There are also risks associated with them, though, and we’re taking a closer look at Carroll Chevrolet.

Better Traction and Control

Dually trucks, such as select Chevy Silverado 3500 models, have an extra set of rear wheels. The additional wheels give you more contact with the road, providing enhanced traction and stability, even in dirt or mud.

Increased Performance

When comparing a dually truck to standard trucks, you’ll see a noticeable performance advantage from a dually truck. The extra power is ideal (and sometimes crucial) when you need to do some serious towing.

Ideal for Hauling

Their larger (and stronger) rear axle also has impressive payload capacities. Plus, the extra wheels help you spread out the weight of your load.

Enhanced Sway Control

Even on a windy day, you’ll also have enhanced sway control when trailering. The additional safety and stability are ideal for heavy-duty towing.

Safety Risk

When it comes to cons, the biggest concern is the safety risks associated with a dually truck. While the extra wheels are ideal for traction in dry conditions, they are more likely to cause you to hydroplane on slick surfaces.

Extra Maintenance

Remember, there are two more tires to maintain and replace, meaning you’ll pay a bit more. However, most owners find that the pros outweigh the cons.

Believe it or not, bigger is not always better. At Starling Chevrolet, we offer a wide range of different vehicles to suit different needs. For instance, the 2022 Chevy Trax is a standout model, and is well above average when it comes to something crucial: reliability.

How Reliable is the Chevy Trax?

The Chevy Trax leads its class in how few repairs are needed per year, with a lower average cost as a result.

Overview: 2022 Chevy Trax

The 2022 Chevy Trax is an affordable subcompact SUV, which features a newly boosted, 155-horsepower 1.4-liter four-cylinder engine. The Chevy Trax is an agile, responsive SUV, with a solid amount of cargo space to boot.

The spacious cabin features an intuitive, well-placed touchscreen and features standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity. You’ll be able to seamlessly integrate your digital devices into the Chevy Trax infotainment system.

One major advantage of the Chevy Trax compared to its affordable subcompact SUV contemporaries is its reliability, as evidenced in the average annual repair cost.

Lower Repair Costs

Chevy Trax drivers wind up spending on average about $488 per year on repairs, which is far below average for even drivers of similar cars. Other vehicle models average around $652 per year on repairs.

The Chevy Trax experiences very low severity when it comes to these repairs, which occur very infrequently. You’ll discover that buying a Chevy Trax will cost you far less in upkeep in the long run than many other SUVs.

Sometimes bigger isn’t better. We here at Starling Chevrolet want to introduce you to the 2022 Chevy Spark, a nimble hatchback with plenty of tricks up its sleeve. One big advantage to the Chevy Spark is its fuel efficiency.

Read on for an overview of the 2022 Chevy Spark’s fuel-efficient features.

An Efficient City Car

While the Chevy Spark was not designed for prolonged road trips, it is a maneuverable, efficient city car that can zip along in and out of traffic.

Running its front wheel drive power through either a five-speed manual transmission or continuously variable automatic, the Chevy Spark is an ideal economical vehicle for urbanites.

Fuel Efficiency

For city driving, the 2022 Chevy Spark comes in at 29 miles-per-gallon with its manual transmission and 30 with the automatic. On the highway, you could get up to 37 miles-per-gallon.

On a full tank of gas, the Chevy Spark can manage a range of up about 297 miles. The total fuel savings you can expect will, naturally, vary depending on where you live, but they can average over $1,000 per year.

Size of a Spark

When it comes to fuel efficiency, a major advantage of the Chevy Spark is its size. The interior is surprisingly versatile, the seats and console are of a higher quality than similar class models, but its efficient small size helps make the most of its fuel capacity.

The nine-gallon gas tank may not be a lot compared to a full-size SUV, but when you calculate the city mileage compared to gas prices, you’ll discover how much further your money will go in a Chevy Spark.

Here at Starling Chevrolet, we are committed to helping you get the most out of your money. When you’re looking to shift from a gasoline-powered car to something fully electric, you want to make sure you’re making the smartest choice.

Here’s an overview of the 2022 Chevy Bolt EV’s overall efficiency.

Compare to the Competition

First, we should ask: “Is the 2022 Chevy Bolt EV the most fuel-efficient non-luxury EV available?”

Well, no. In tests, the 2022 Chevy Bolt beat the range estimated for a single charge by the EPA by seven percent, achieving 278 miles (at a rating of 259 miles). This trails the only competing model, the Volkswagen ID.4 Pro, by just one mile.

While the 2022 Chevy Bolt EV may not be the most fuel-efficient car on the market, it certainly sits at the top of the market for EV cars.

What’s Your Cost “At the Pump?”

Determining the cost of driving EVs is quite different than analyzing how far you can go on a gallon of gas. The kilowatt-hour (kWh) is an EV unit of measurement roughly equivalent to a gallon of gasoline.

On a fully charged battery, the 2022 Chevy Bolt EV has an estimated consumption rate of 28 kWh per every 100 miles. While the cost of charging an EV will depend on where you live, the cost of the electric “fuel” that runs the Chevy Bolt EV comes in far below what you would pay to fill up a gas tank.

Powerful Savings

This makes the 2022 Chevy Bolt EV an extraordinarily fuel-efficient vehicle, with the potential to save you a lot of money year over year when compared to operating a gas-powered vehicle.
