2021 Chevrolet Blazer in Fairfax, VA - Jim McKay Chevrolet

3 Impressive Features of the 2021 Chevrolet Blazer

A mid-size SUV is a perfect middle-ground for someone who wants an SUV without the added bulk but who also finds a compact one too small. If that describes you, why not try out the 2021 Chevrolet Blazer? It's bold and stylish, large enough to provide lots of power, and small enough to remain agile and easy to handle. It has several more impressive features, too, which we're going to talk you through now. more A Strong Engine We told you this thing had power, specifically from an incredible V6 engine. The engine is a 3.6-liter powerhouse with 270 lb-ft of torque and 308 horsepower. In just 6.3 seconds, you can jump from a standstill to cruising at 60 MPH. Does that sound like too much for you? Then consider one of the still incredible, but slightly less powerful engines. These are better if you prefer moderate speeds that get the everyday tasks over and done fast. The other engine options are: Turbocharged 4-cylinder 2-liter engine 5-liter 4-cylinder engine Incredible Handling and Steering Sensations This SUV has an athletic feel to it. It glides down roads and cuts through the air like a smaller vehicle, with some nice weight behind the steering wheel while you're doing it. Drivers complement the dynamics and compare them to small, sporty vehicles. This is partly to the Chevrolet Blazer's construction; it's a car-based SUV. Most other SUVs are truck-based. Drivers who've had a taste of competitor models state that the Chevrolet Blazer stands out from the crowd as far as steering and handling are concerned. It's practically unbeatable for its class. Spacious Cargo Although the Chevrolet Blazer isn't as large as a standard SUV you still have plenty of cargo space to take advantage of. There are 30.5 cubic feet in the back which is perfect for a large shopping haul or putting a few carry-on suitcases in for a trip. If you have a larger shopping spree or some bigger suitcases then fold down the rear seats beforehand. With the rear seats down you have 64.2 cubic feet to fill. If you feel this will be too difficult for you to fill up, don't worry. The Chevrolet Blazer makes loading things easy thanks to the low cargo floor and the hands-free liftgate. With these features, you'll have easy time loading and unloading no matter how much luggage you manage to pack into the 64.2 cubic feet of room. If space turns out to be too little, then you can tow 4,500 pounds with the V6 engine. Doesn't that sound like a wonderful setup? Come and see us at Jim McKay Chevrolet in Fairfax, VA so we can get you set up with a 2021 Chevrolet Blazer of your own. Hop in for a test drive and try out that agility and power and see if it makes you fall in love with this beautiful little Chevrolet - it's the perfect SUV for all the family and your ample gear.

2021 Chevrolet Tahoe in Fairfax, VA - Jim McKay Chevrolet

Get to Know the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe

The venerable Tahoe is back, and the new styling looks great. The 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe is a workhorse of a vehicle with a powerful engine, plenty of creature comforts, and versatile enough for just about any lifestyle. more The 2021 Tahoe is the 12th-generation of the classic Suburban SUV, and it's loaded with new features as well as keeping with most of the old favorites Chevrolet drivers have come to expect. In styling, it represents probably the most drastic change for a new model of any Chevrolet since the Bel Air. The new direction is one that Chevrolet owners can get excited about. View from the Street The new look of the Tahoe line is totally new, modern, and stylish. It also serves as a base that unlike most vehicles, readily takes on different personalities with different colors. In black it looks like something a secret agent might drive, while the white models showcase a domesticated look, and there's everything in-between. Choose your color to fit your individual taste. Pricing The base package for the Tahoe sits just over $55,000. We think this is one of those instances where you are getting a whole lot of bang for your buck, especially after considering the power plant, amenities, and other features that are rolled up into the new Chevrolet. Adding more features will, of course, bring that price up higher, but it still remains a whole lot of truck for the money. With six trim kits to choose from, there are a lot of options to explore, from the backwoods ready Z71 to the RST with black trim. Engine and Drivetrain Looking under the hood, the base model sports a powerful 355HP EcoTec3 engine. The 5.3L V8 provides all the power you need to charge up steep hills even when loaded down with gear. It's more than enough to keep up with the towing capacity of over 7500 pounds. Take a Peek Inside All the knobs and levers are pretty much where you left them. There have been some changes from the driver's seat, but if you've driven a similar Chevrolet in the past, you'll know where to find everything. If you haven't, the intuitive design will become second-nature quickly. The biggest change to the interior is more space available. More legroom, more headroom, more everything. Mid and rear seating is fully adjustable to accommodate any extra room that you might need on your trip, and plenty of seating to haul the whole family to the game. In addition, all of the modern safety features are present, including backup camera, warning alerts if another vehicle is approaching while you are backing out of your parking spot, smartphone integration, and rear seat media. The infotainment system is a monolithic structure built right into the dash that serves as a cockpit-style command center with large touch buttons and within easy reach. All in all, the best way to get a feel for the styling and features of the new Tahoe is to give one a test drive. Don't wait for them to disappear.

2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 or 2500HD in Fairfax, VA - Jim McKay Chevrolet

2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 or 2500HD: What's the Difference?

The 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 and 2500HD models look fantastic and deliver outstanding performance at work and play. Either truck is an excellent choice for light to medium payload and trailering tasks. Chevy offers a dizzying variety of combinations of performance and trim packages, so it's tough to compare one 1500 to another, much less the Silverado 1500 to the Silverado 2500HD. But there are some notable differences between the two. more 2020 Chevy Silverado 1500 The Silverado 1500 is a light-duty half-ton pickup truck than it's more muscular Silverado 2500HD sibling. The 2020 update to the Silverado 1500 includes mostly trim changes and safety features. The Silverado 1500 is designed with city and highway use in mind. It's a lighter truck with a smoother suspension and a tighter turn radius. Better Fuel Economy, Depending on Engine Choice The 2020 Silverado 1500 offers engine choices ranging in power from a 3.0 liter inline-6 to a beefy 6.2 liter V-8. Silverado 1500 fuel economy depends on the engine/transmission pairing. Best fuel economy (Duramax diesel, 10-speed transmission) 23 mpg city / 33 highway Lowest fuel economy (4.3 L V-6, 6-speed transmission) 14 mpg city / 16 highway Light Payload and Trailering The 2020 Silverado 1500 has an adequate payload capacity of around 2100 pounds. The trailering ability depends on how the truck is packaged but can vary between 6,700 lbs on the low end and over 10,000 lbs on the high end. Silverado 1500 Bottom Line Choose the Chevy Silverado 1500 for light-duty and work commutes that do not require payloads over 2000lbs and trailering heavier than 10,000lbs. Chevy Silverado 2500HD The Silverado 2500HD is a medium-duty truck that has been completely overhauled in 2020. -With a tighter suspension and longer wheelbase, the Chevy Silverado 2500HD performs best at work and play in the field. The ride is built specifically to handle the bumps and dips of off-road conditions. More Power, More Fuel The optional 6.6 liter Duramax V-8 diesel engine has a massive 910 lbs-ft of torque and 440 horsepower. The gasoline V-8 engine is no slouch, coming in at 464 and 401, respectively. The fuel economy of this model suffers compared to the 1500 (around 20 mpg highway), of course, but the fuel tank is 10 gallons larger (36 total). Heavier Payload and Trailering The larger engines and beefier construction of the 2500HD make it a formidable hauler. Depending on the trim, the maximum payload of the Silverado 2500HD is as high as 3,900 lbs, and this beast can tow an impressive 15,400 lbs. 2500HD Bottom Line If you have construction site payloads or trailering needs approaching a medium-sized fifth wheel, then this is the better option for you by far.
