It's A Contractor Medium-Duty Work Truck Wednesday

 

Check out this workhorse! We begin with the foundation of the medium-duty Silverado 5500 with a gross vehicle weight rating of 19,500 lbs. Carrying the weight is what this truck is all about. The chassis moves swiftly wherever you need to go by virtue of the 6.6 Duramax diesel engine mated to the legendary Allison automatic. Aluminum wheels reduce the unsprung weight to allow more cargo capacity, too. And creature comforts make the space between jobs a pleasant experience.

Mounted on this great workhorse chassis is a 12' Harbor HD Contractor Body with two sets of upper bed toolboxes, two underbed toolboxes, and a cantilevered forklift loadable material rack, which allows the rear to be used as a perfect workbench with fold-down short gates. At the rear is a nice wide-step bumper and HD receiver hitch as well. 

This truck is ready to go to work! See more about this truck here.

Understanding Commercial Vehicle Lines of Credit | GM Financial

A commercial line of credit is a quick and easy way to add new vehicles to your fleet. 

Although a bank loan is a reliable way to purchase or lease a new vehicle, the approval process can slow you down. If you need multiple vehicles, you’ll need to repeat that process for each one, costing you even more valuable time. 

But securing a line of credit is different. After a simple one-time application, you can quickly add vehicles when you need them.

CHEVROLET ANNOUNCES NEXT-GEN BOLT

 

America’s most affordable EV will return
to Chevrolet’s growing lineup of all-electric vehicles

2023-07-25

DETROIT – Today, GM Chair and CEO Mary Barra announced during the company’s quarterly earnings conference call that Chevrolet will introduce a next-generation Bolt, continuing to deliver what customers have come to expect: great affordability, range1, and technology.

“Our customers love today’s Bolt. It has been delivering record sales and some of the highest customer satisfaction and loyalty scores in the industry,” said Barra. “It’s also an important source of conquest sales for the company and for Chevrolet.”

“We will keep the momentum going by delivering a new Bolt…and we will execute it more quickly compared to an all-new program with significantly lower engineering expense and capital investment by updating the vehicle with Ultium and Ultifi technologies and by applying our ‘winning with simplicity’ discipline.”

Drawing on various Ultium and Ultifi technological advancements will help GM bring this popular model back to market on an accelerated timeline. Timing and specific details about the next-generation Bolt will be announced at a later date. The Bolt is expected to join Chevrolet’s growing lineup of all-electric vehicles, three of which are launching this year — Silverado EV, Blazer EV and Equinox EV.

From its market introduction in 2017, the Chevrolet Bolt changed the game as the first long-range, mass-produced EV available to customers at a truly affordable price. Sales of Bolt EV and Bolt EUV through the first half of 2023 have been the strongest to date. Eighty percent of Bolt owners are staying loyal to Chevy and nearly 70 percent of buyers who are trading in a vehicle for Bolt are trading in a non-GM product.
