Chevrolet Colorado Named 2015 MOTOR TREND Truck of the Year

Chevrolet Colorado Named 2015 MOTOR TREND Truck of the Year
DURAND, Mich. - It rolled off of the assembly line sporting with a fresh, functional, and capable new look and has been meeting the needs of truck users everywhere ever since. While some were hesitant, others (ourselves included) believed that the Chevrolet Colorado would alter the pickup industry as we know it. Now, we can disregard the naysayers and confirm our opinion as a FACT because the Chevrolet Colorado has been named the 2015 MOTOR TREND Truck of the Year!

In order to determine which truck would receive this top honor, each of the 9 contenders had to withstand MOTOR TREND's most meticulous truck testing program in history. Tests varied from instrumented and real-world road tests to Real MPG fuel-econmy testing at the MOTOR TREND headquarters. Each truck endured hundred of miles out on the road while being critiqued on acceleration, braking, maneuverability, and outward visibility. 

The editors were completely blown away by all that was inside of the Colorado's perfect package. Between its attractive appearance, impressive handling, best-in-class fuel economy, and overall capability, the other contenders hardly stood a chance. After this midsize truck brought a laundry list of incredible traits to the table, a RARE unanimous vote determined that a the Chevrolet Colorado was the 2015 MOTOR TREND Truck of the Year

You've hear about them, read about them, and dreamed about them. Why not see an award-winning vehicle for yourself?

2015 Suburban Premium Outdoors Concept Debuts at SEMA

2015 Suburban Premium Outdoors Concept Debuts at SEMA
DURAND, Mich - Chevrolet is definitely not holding anything back at the Speciality Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show this week as they continue to roll out a fierce lineup of new concept vehicles. Chevy is stepping up their game when it comes to accessories and add-ons, showing customers that the customization of a Chevrolet vehicle can lie completely in their hands. The latest and greatest unveiled notion? The 2015 Suburban Premium Outdoor concept.

The 2015 Suburban Premium Outdoors concept has debuted at SEMA, displaying many notable features. At first glance, nothing about the 2015 Suburban Premium Outdoors concept really screams "outdoorsy". In fact, it is actually quite luxurious looking. Underneath the hood sits a 6.2-liter L86 V8 engine producing 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. This powerful engine generates a hefty 18 percent increase in horsepower and a 20 percent boost in torque over the Suburban's standard 5.3-liter L83 V8. 

On the outside of the Suburban Outdoors concept is a Pepperdust exterior color with a "Warm Tarnished" accent. Of course, the Suburban contains some of the latest accessories like a new grille insert, retractable running boards, and 22-inch wheels with body color accents. But the real talk of the town is the concept's tailgating package. Sports events and concerts will never be the same after this because this package sets the perfect foundation of what every tailgater would need. The tailgating package enhances upon the Suburban's already generous amount of space for passengers and cargo by tacking on a smart HDTV and a handcrafted, wood salvaged table and with benches.

Five Water Intrusion Tests Endured by the 2015 Chevy Colorado

Five Water Intrusion Tests Endured by the 2015 Chevy Colorado
DURAND, Mich - Visually and mechanically dynamic, truck enthusiasts can't help but bask in the overall beauty of the 2015 Chevy Colorado. Sometimes we get so distracted by our Chevy vehicle's advanced technological features or its glossy finish that we forget about what each vehicle must experience before it is able to make its way to the dealership. A great example? The Chevy Colorado. There were five water intrusion tests that had to be endured by the 2015 Chevy Colorado prior to  it rolling off of the delivery truck and onto our lot!

1. The Dunk Tank - This particular test was inspired by the severe flooding that occurred in Thailand during the 2011 monsoon season. The 2015 Chevy Colorado is driven into a tank which is then flooded by water up to the truck's rocker panel. From there, GM engineers are able to examine the effect on the underbody and chassis components that contain electrical wires and venting systems. 

2. The Universal Water Test - General Motor's universal water test is made up of 330 nozzles that spray 3,123 liters of water per minute for eight minutes straight. This puts the robustness of the vehicle's door and window seals to the test to determine long-term reliability. The test also helps to ensure that no water leaks into the cabin during wet weather conditions and the water does not interfere with powertrain venting systems or other underbody components. 

3. Mist Test - The universal water test has a function that simulates misty conditions, which can result in water creeping into areas of a vehicle that large drops of water do not. This could cause a leak by having water wick through weatherstrips with low compression.

4. Deep Fording Trough Test - A 15-meter deep outdoor fording trough simulates slow treks through water when water intrusion can impact the transmission fluids and powertrain components such as the rear exhaust.

5. High-Pressure Sprayers - Engineers at General Motors use high-pressure sprayers to test the strength of components such as charge ports, powertrain vents, fuel vent systems, and vehicle air induction systems behind grille openings. 

The five water intrusion tests endured by the 2015 Chevy Colorado were completed so that customers will never have to worry about the performance of their truck. No matter where your destination may be, General Motors wants to ensure that your truck can get you there no matter what weather conditions are outside your door. Flooded roads, river crossings, or even the most terrible of storms don't stand a chance against the Chevy Colorado.

Safe Driving Tips for Deer Season

DURAND, Mich - If you've seen the photos from our Busted Bumper Buck Pole Contest, you'll notice that the deer-collisions in the Durand area are beginning to steadily increase. It is that time of the season when deer come out the play, raising the potential for dangerous crashes out on the road. To avoid an unpleasant encounter with a doe-eyed friend, we are here to provide you with some safe driving tips for deer season.

Being that the fall months are the peak of breeding and hunting season, it is an especially dangerous time for drivers. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, deadly crashes are more likely to occur in rural areas and on roads that have a speed limit of 55 MPH or higher. However regardless of the road you are driving on, it is important to be extra cautious during this time of the year.

Safe Driving Tips for Deer Season -

  • Deer are most active around sunset and sunrise, so it is in your best interest to be exceptionally alert if you are driving during these times.
  • Deer tend to travel in groups so it is safe to assume that if you see one, another one is probably nearby.
  • If you are driving at night when there is no opposing traffic, use your high beams. This will help you to scan for deer's illuminated eyes or dark silhouettes on the side of the road. If you do see one, no matter how far, start to slow down drastically. 
  • This one is VERY IMPORTANT.....DO NOT SWERVE to avoid hitting a deer. Swerving can lead to hitting another vehicle, tree or other object and is more likely to cause an even more dangerous accident. As you are about to hit the deer brake firmly, stay in your own lane, hold onto the steering wheel and bring your vehicle to a complete and controlled stop.
  • If you do hit a deer, be sure to turn on your emergency flashers and pull to the side of the road so that you are visible to other drivers. Stay inside of your vehicle. Never approach the deer because their hooves are extremely sharp, powerful and dangerous. 
  • Finally, utilize the OnStar button inside of your Chevrolet vehicle. OnStar is there to assist you through ANY type of situation.

If you've recently had an unfortunate encounter with a deer, Graff Durand can help! We are here to assist you with ALL of your vehicle repair needs AND we will also give you the chance to WIN $1,000 CASH with our Busted Bumper Buck Pole Contest!

Is This the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro?

Is This the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro?
DURAND, Mich - Rumor has it that another highly anticipated General Motors vehicle has been spotted out on the road near Detroit while undergoing testing. Although nothing can be certain, the people at Top Speed noticed that this vehicle had been camouflaged with additional roof-obscuring padding which made them question: could this be the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro? 

Speculators believe that this camouflaged vehicle may be powered by a turbocharged, four-cylinder as a response to the turbo 2.3 liter four-banger that was recently added to the Mustang's power plant 2015 lineup. The 2016 Chevy Camaro will ride on GM's Alpha platform that can be found on the Cadillac ATS and CTS. This new platform makes for improved proportions, a clean-cut shape and will also provide 2016 Camaro drivers with rear-wheel drive. Spies believe that the design of the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro has not be completely redone, but will definitely feature a sleeker, more dynamic look.

Is this the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro? The truth will soon be told!

5 Core Strength Elements on the Chevy Silverado

5 Core Strength Elements of the Chevy Silverado

DURAND, Mich - In order to be one of the most reliable, long-lasting full-size pickups on the road, everything on the truck from the foundation to the engine must be built with the most durable of materials. There are 5 Core Strength Elements on the Chevy Silverado that Chevy engineers have worked vigorously to develop that will continue to help take the full-size pickup to the next level of capability and efficiency.

1. Full Boxed Frame - The Chevy Silverado's full boxed frame -which includes main rails and major cross members composed of high-strength steel- creates a firm base for maximum hauling capability, exceptional crashworthiness AND the life span that customers demand. Developed by General Motors many years ago, this full boxed frame uses highly pressurized fluid to shape the frame rails, making a tougher and lighter frame than of those made from welded multi-piece components.

2. High-Strength-Steel-Reinforced Body Structure - High-strength steel not only earned the Silverado a 5-Star overall rating in government crash tests, but it is also the perfect compliment to the truck's fully boxed frame. High and ultra-high-strength steel makes up roughly 67 percent of the cab, enhancing the frame's overall strength and safety performance. Since this steel can be up to 30 percent lighter with the same amount of strength as carbon steel, customers will benefit from a lower overall vehicle cost.

3. Tough Cargo Box and Tailgate - The floor of the industry's most innovative cargo box is made up of a roll-formed steel that is stronger AND lighter than the normal stamped steel. This helps to control the Silverado's overall mass and in turn will improve efficiency and durability. Additional elements like a spray-on stone protection help to improve paint protection and corrosion resistance. As for the strength of the EZ Life-and-Lower tailgate on the Chevy Silverado, tests prove that it can easily withstand the drop of a 400-pound load on a concentrated area.

Advanced Small-Block Engine - Silverado's 5.3L EcoTec V-8 offers the best fuel economy estimates of any truck, getting you up to 23 mpg on the highway! Each of the three fifth-generation small-block engines offered on the Silverado 1500 lineup - 4.3L V-6, 5.3L V-8 and 6.2L V-8 - feature direct injection, Active Fuel Management AND variable valve timing for power, torque and efficiency through any type of driving condition. Chevy's small-block is a less complex and more compact design that provides exceptionally low-rpm torque -exactly what customers need when pulling a loaded cargo box or trailer.

5. Long-Lasting Duralife Brake Rotors - Each Silverado 1500 model has a standard four-wheel disc brake system with Duralife brake rotors. This improves braking performance and DOUBLES the service life. The 13-inch, vented front brake rotors are partnered with 13.6-inch rear rotors that provide the most stable braking performance even with a packed cargo box or when towing a trailer. 

Year after year, these 5 core strength elements on the Chevy Silverado continue to help customers get the job done. If you're interested in learning more about what the Silverado has to offer, visit us at Graff Chevy Durand!
