The Chevy Silverado 1500 is one of the most exciting and powerful pickup trucks you’ll find here at Scott Chevrolet. But we’re not just dedicated to matching drivers with trucks that will do the job. We also want to share everything you need to know about truck ownership, service and care, and how to tow effortlessly. Here’s a closer look at Chevy Silverado towing terminology you’ll want to know.  

GCWR

GCWR stands for gross combined vehicle weight rating. If you notice that GCWR is typically a much higher number than other metrics associated with towing, it’s for a good reason. This measurement refers to the vehicle’s and trailer’s weights.

It’s helpful to know if you’re traveling on weight-restricted roads or bridges. Understanding and managing this metric helps to keep your passengers and your vehicle safe and to maintain maximum driver control when towing.

GVWR

GVWR is a little bit different. It stands for gross vehicle weight rating and refers to the total maximum weight of the vehicle. This includes the truck’s curb weight and the weight of passengers, cargo, and anything in the bed. The trailer’s weight or anything else you might be towing does not contribute to the GVWR.

Axle Weight

As the name might indicate, axle weight refers to the maximum weight each axle can withstand before damage is incurred. It’s important to note that the front and rear axles will have different ratings because the weight of a trailer or other tow load is concentrated on the back of the vehicle. Be sure to learn and respect the axle weight rating to protect your vehicle and keep yourself safe when driving.

The Chevrolet Corvette has long stood out as one of history’s most influential and capable performance vehicles, and now it’s tackling a whole new challenge. Expected for 2025, Chevrolet will release a Chevrolet Corvette SUV, the ultimate performance SUV. Our team at Scott Chevrolet has your first look at what this exciting and innovative new model might offer. 

Competitive Starting Price

The Chevrolet Corvette SUV will fall in line with similar models in price, both when it comes to its namesake and competing vehicles on the market. It’s expected to have a starting MSRP of around $80,000.

Eco-Friendly Driving

The Chevrolet Corvette SUV isn’t just remarkable for its new configuration. It’s also designed with the future in mind. This exciting new Chevrolet model will be all-electric, which means a lower environmental impact, savings on fuel, and access to credits and incentives.

It’s expected to have an 800-volt electric system and charging capability of up to 350 kW, thanks to its GM Ultium® battery technology. In the upcoming Chevrolet Corvette SUV, you’ll enjoy the top performance and power that has long been associated with the Chevrolet Corvette name, all without leaving a trace of pollution.

A Family-Friendly Configuration

The Chevrolet Corvette is the most recognizable American sports car in history. Typically, sports cars are defined as having seating for just two passengers, which is why other performance vehicles, like the Chevrolet Camaro, are classified as muscle cars. However, this new Chevrolet Corvette SUV is taking a whole new approach. It will offer seating for up to five passengers, which means a performance vehicle for the entire family.

Whether you need a Chevy oil change or comprehensive Chevrolet service and care, Scott Chevrolet is the dealership for you. Our job goes beyond matching drivers with the perfect new vehicle for all their family driving or commuting needs. We’re also dedicated to keeping those vehicles safe and efficient on many more great rides. Here are some steps you can take to service and prepare your car for spring with the support of our team.  

Inspect the Battery

In extreme weather, like temperatures below freezing, your car’s battery can lose a significant amount of capacity. That’s why it’s a good idea to inspect the battery when the weather begins to warm so you know if it needs replacement.

Check Hoses and Belts

Your vehicle relies on a series of hoses and belts to run. Unfortunately, they can be prone to cracking and damage over time, especially in the cold. Inspecting your hoses and belts for spring can ensure safe driving all season long.

Change the Oil

The oil in your vehicle protects the engine by cooling and lubricating essential parts and systems. It also collects any dirt or debris kicked up from the road—including winter road salt. When the oil becomes too dirty or clogged, it can no longer protect the engine, so it’s a good idea to schedule an oil change for the start of the new season.

Swap Out Seasonal Tires

In many cases, you may want to change your tires for cold weather driving, in which case, it’s time to swap back. If you retained your all-season tires, now is an excellent time to inspect and fill them in case they lost pressure due to cold temperatures.

Schedule Spring Chevy Service

Here at Scott Chevrolet, you’ll find the service support and care you can rely on. Schedule maintenance for the new season and all year long at our dealership today.

When it comes to used trucks for sale, there’s just no dealership like Scott Chevrolet. We believe that capable, powerful, and safe pickup trucks should also be available, regardless of your budget. That’s why we’re excited to share a comprehensive collection of affordable pre-owned pickups and best practices for purchasing a pre-owned model.

Check the Fenders and Wheel Wells

While a lot of damage and wear can be fixed or managed, there is one thing you want to look out for when purchasing a used truck—rust. Rust and corrosion can be difficult, if not impossible, to fix, and is more common in vehicles that are put to the test or taken off-road. Look closely at common rust trouble spots, like the fenders and the wheel wells.

Give it a Bounce

Pickup trucks are often driven on harsher terrains, which may mean the suspension has been put through its paces. Look at the truck on level ground to see if it sits evenly, and then try pushing down hard on one corner. The shock absorbers may need repair or replacement if it bounces more than once.

Tires Can Tell

One of the best ways to determine how a vehicle was driven is to look at its tires. The tires will give you insight into what kind of trails or environments the vehicle was used in and how well it was maintained. If you notice excess wear or damage to the tires, it may be reflected elsewhere in the truck that isn’t so easy to spot.

Put Your Pre-Owned Pickup to the Test

Here at Scott Chevrolet, you’ll find a wide collection of pre-owned trucks that get the job done—and a team that has your back. Begin the pre-owned vehicle test-driving process with support from Scott Chevrolet today.

With the right Chevy parts and a little Chevy service, you’ll be able to keep your vehicle safe, reliable, and efficient for many more drives to come. That’s why our team here at Scott Chevrolet carries such a wide inventory of high-quality parts and accessories that you can order from the comfort of your home. We’re also sharing a closer look at where you can purchase parts for older models, including some of the following.

Trust Your Dealership

You might be surprised to learn that dealerships have parts for quite a wide number of models, including vehicles going back several decades. If we can’t find the specific part you’re looking for, we’ll utilize our industry resources to find a shop or individual that has that part in their collection. Even if you think your part request might be a little unusual, it’s best to check out the dealership before moving on to other options.

Turn to the Manufacturer

Another good resource for finding rarer or older Chevy parts is the manufacturer. When you go to the manufacturer, you’ll know you’re getting high-quality parts designed specifically for your vehicle. That means they’ll last longer and protect your car’s surrounding components and systems for many more rides.

Contact a Private Seller

You may need to reach out to an independent seller or previous owner for exceptionally old, rare, or unusual parts. Research matters, including checking seller reviews to ensure the parts are high-quality and in good condition. Individual sellers can be a good option if you’re searching for something older or harder to find, but it’s best to check dealers and manufacturers first.

It’s easy to find, finance, and service a pre-owned Chevy car here at Scott Chevrolet. We’re the dealership you can rely on to support you throughout the pre-owned vehicle purchasing process so that you can take home the right car at the right price without worry or hassle. We’re also sharing all the best practices for after you purchase your next used Chevy, including some of the following.

1. Verify the Paperwork

Our Chevy dealership in Allentown, PA, takes care of the title and registration in most circumstances. That said, it’s a good idea to follow up and make sure that your vehicle is legal to drive according to local guidelines and regulations.

2. Get It Inspected

Dealerships typically offer inspections, as well. However, it’s useful to know what future service or repair needs might be required when it comes to your pre-owned vehicle. That’s why it’s a good idea to inspect the car more thoroughly, even if it’s already been through the inspection process. It’s best to take your used model to a trustworthy mechanic.

3. Update Your Insurance

Insurance is essential for safe and covered driving, which is why it’s required in most places. If you currently have auto insurance, you may want to adjust it for your new-to-you used car. If you don’t have a plan yet, take one out as soon as you get your pre-owned vehicle home.

4. Set Up a Service Schedule

Maintaining a routine Chevy service schedule is the best way to keep your used SUV in good condition. Refer to the manual and plan when to bring your vehicle in for regular service and care.
