Work Truck Wednesday, 3-13-19 - Sometimes You Just Need More!





 


That's right! Sometimes you just need more. More space. More power. More stability. More efficiency. 

Sometimes you need more space for stuff, even heavy stuff, and then the capacity for maximum stuff, all at the same time as towing stuff to the job site. Here's the ticket for you that need more! This heavy-duty 3500HD dual rear wheel chassis has the capacity and the stability, and with the 6.6 Duramax Diesel Engine and mated with the famous Allison HD transmission, it has the capacity to move all that cargo and tow the tools you need to all your job sites.

This chassis is matched to a Royal 11' Service Body with open-top lids with individual removable boxes above, gas shocks on the doors to help keep them open in the wind, deep compartments to carry what you need and loads of space in the middle of the bed area. In addition, this has a heavy-duty material rack with removable bars and swing-away rear bar when you need to carry tall items, plus offering a great way to tie those taller items tight while traveling. 

You will find so much more about this great truck here. Or, better yet, give us a call at 951-252-2980 and let us help you find the best truck or fleet of trucks for your needs!

2020 Chevrolet Silverado Assembly Line Production Heavy-Duty Trucks


2020 Chevrolet Silverado Production at General Motors Flint Assembly (Michigan, USA)
00:01 Silverado HD Manufacturing 03:29 Four Post Durability Testing
Flint — Chevrolet introduced its redesigned 2020 Heavy Duty pickups Tuesday at its truck assembly plant here, the third all-new Silverado in 18 months. The new truck, built at the renovated Flint Assembly Plant, will require 1,000 new jobs at the plant, General Motors Co. President Mark Reuss said. The new truck and jobs at Flint Assembly come as GM is laying off some 4,000 salaried workers in the next few weeks. Reuss acknowledged the somber circumstances before kicking off the presentation of the new Silverado Heavy Duty. "As difficult as it’s been, these are the right decisions to make the company more competitive today and more successful in the future and long-term," Reuss said. Chevy gave a sneak peek of the truck in December, debuting a new exterior design that differs from the light-duty Silverado that debuted at the Detroit auto show last year. Powered by an all-new gas-powered V-8 engine paired with the 10-speed Allison transmission that debuted on the new heavy-duty GMC Sierra last month, the new Heavy Duty breaks away from the Camaro-inspired grille design on the 1500 with a bolder fascia and bigger headlights. Chevy said in December that the Heavy Duty trucks only share a roof with the light-duty 1500. Every diesel-powered Chevy dually will now tow more than 30,000 pounds. And the gas-powered 2500 HD's max towing is 17,400 pounds, an 18 percent increase from the current model. The 6.6-liter V-8 Duramax turbo-diesel engine will develop 445 horsepower and 910 pounds-feet of torque, falling short of the 1,000-pounds-feet of torque achieved by rival Ram's new heavy-duty truck. Lead engineer Jaclyn McQuaid acknowledged the higher torque from competitors but said that Chevrolet has strengthened the heavy-duty trucks' axles, locking rear-differential, prop shaft and u-joint to allow the truck to use all 910 pound-feet of torque in first gear. Chevy's new behemoths will still benefit from the light-duty Silverado's new high-strength steel architecture with a new chassis that allows for three more inches of rear legroom. And the HD's box, which already has corner steps for easier access, gets two more steps at the front of the box for easier, forward-box access.
