The Chevy Blazer EV is back, and it's learning that a lot can happen in three months. It’s already easy to forget just how much momentum the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV had amassed before a software-related stop-sale in January temporarily pumped the brakes on its hype train. Pre-orders were piling up for the much-anticipated electric SUV, and MotorTrend deemed it a cut above its closest competitors in the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Tesla Model Y Long Range. But now, the Chevy Blazer returns to seize its electric crown, as General Motors announced Friday it is resuming sales. Not only have the software issues that prompted the stoppage been addressed, but the Blazer EV returns with a handful of new software features. To cap it off, the MotorTrend SUV of the Year also sports a new, lower price to commemorate its return. The 2024 Blazer EV, along with its full lineup of Chevy siblings, is waiting for you at Jennings Chambersburg. But first, let’s take a moment to remember why the Blazer EV was so anticipated in the first place. Fire Sale The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV replaces 2019’s revamped Blazer crossover (itself a revival of the boxy, off-road 1969 Blazer.) The newest Blazer certainly fits its moniker from an aesthetic standpoint, with fiery styling and the implied forward motion of its horizontal creases running down the profile. The EV is slightly shorter than the gas Blazer yet offers ample ground clearance. The Blazer EV returns with four trims, with even more iterations expected to follow. The four current trims are the LT AWD, RS AWD, and RS RWD. As mentioned, each trim now boasts a lower price tag. The LT AWD now starts at $50,195 (down from its original price of $56,715). The RS AWD starts at $54,595 (down from $60,215) and the sporty RS RWD runs at $56,170 (originally $61,790). Lest you be alarmed, the price drop is in response not to the sales stoppage, but to comparable price slashes by its Ford, Nissan, and Tesla competitors. What isn’t changing is the Blazer EV’s eye-opening efficiency numbers. Its real-world range has clocked in at 239 miles – 23 more than its acclaimed rival, the dual-motor Hyundai Ioniq 5. And with a max charge rate of 190 kW, the Blazer EV is a fast-charging phenom. Software Upgrade Enabled The Blazer EV’s advanced cabin was one of its immediate selling points, and it’s easy to remember why. The future is evident in every pixel of its massive 17.7-inch infotainment screen. An additional 11-inch digital display gauge rests beside it. Meanwhile, navigation, music, and other apps are all handled by the Google built-in system. GM used the Blazer's down time productively, implementing additional software features. New Blazer owners are now treated to customizable, multi-colored ambient lighting, as well as updated graphics with battery percentage display. GM assures that it has improved its quality testing and software processes to prevent software issues from hindering sales of the Blazer moving forward. Blaze Your Own Path It’s fitting that the Blazer EV’s return coincides with the start of baseball season. Back in January, the SUV seemed primed for a huge season, only to be sidelined throughout spring training. Thankfully, it’s back right in time for the opening day of spring, and all the family outings and getaways that come with it. Make the switch to electric today when you inquire about the Blazer EV at Jennings Chambersburg, home for all things Chevy. We're your trusted dealer for the latest electric vehicles, such as the Hummer EV. Visit Jennings today and help blaze a trail to a brighter, greener tomorrow.

Chevrolet is preparing its newest Equinox, making it the latest Chevy to experience an overhaul within the past two years. In that period, every Chevy crossover and SUV – including the Trax, Trailblazer, and Blazer – is either new or has received a redesign. With the 2025 Equinox, Chevy’s SUV vision fully comes to fruition. The SUV market is currently the largest and most competitive automotive segment in the United States. To stand a chance, you need to stand apart – and the Equinox’s bold new exterior and thoroughly revamped cabin demands the attention of all eyeballs. We should see the 2025 Equinox by year's end here at Jennings Chambersburg. In the meantime, here’s what we can expect from the fourth generation, compact SUV. A Rugged New Exterior... Compare the 2025 Equinox with, say, the 2020 model, and its evolution over the past half-decade becomes apparent. What was once a rounder, more conventional SUV has been inspired by the sharp body lines of both the Chevy truck lineup and the 2024 Traverse. 2.3 inches wider than its 2024 counterpart, the compact Equinox has undergone muscular refinement – like an undersized professional athlete bulking up during the off-season. The Equinox comes available in three distinct trims: LT, RS and ACTIV. Its bold new contours pair amicably with striking, all-LED light elements. The Equinox once again runs on a turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine with 175 horsepower. It’s backed by a continuously variable transmission in front-wheel-drive configurations, or an eight-speed automatic transmission with available all-wheel-drive....With a Tech-Heavy Interior Like its refined SUV brethren, the new Equinox has been reimagined as a tech-first driving experience. Its new 11.3-inch, diagonal infotainment screen is more than 30% larger than the Equinox’s previous largest screen. Thanks to Google built-in, it’s also an interconnected hub, with quick and intuitive access to music, maps, media, and more. Other cabin highlights include: - Electronic Precision Shift - Standard heated steering wheel & heated front seats - Folding 60/40 split-bench second row seats - Hidden rear cargo floor storage space - Available wireless charging Safety First It wouldn’t be a 2025 Chevy if it wasn’t equipped with the latest in Chevy Safety Assist technology. This suite of features includes: - Automatic Emergency Braking - Forward Collision Alert - Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking - Following Distance Indicator - Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning - IntelliBeam That's in addition to now-standard safety features such as Rear Vision Camera, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Change Alert, Emergency Braking, and more. Chevy (Equi)nox It Out of the Park The actual equinox – which signals the start of spring – takes place on March 19 this year. We won’t see the arrival of the new Chevy Equinox by then, but perhaps by the time the autumnal equinox rolls around on September 22. And while the 2025 model is surely set to be Chevy’s definitive version of the Equinox, that doesn’t mean the 2024 version is a slouch. You can find that and much more here at Jennings Chambersburg, including the redesigned 2024 Trax. If you’re looking to go in a different direction in 2024, perhaps this is the year you go electric with the Chevy Bolt EV? Your options await you, and you’ll find them at the number one Chevy dealership in Chambersburg.

Car Sales, Car Repair and Gym concept in Istanbul - 2015 Valentine's Day is tomorrow, and you're quickly running out of hours to find the perfect gift for that special someone. Sure, you could always serenade them with flowers (dead in a week) and chocolates (gone in less that time) for the umpteenth year in a row. But if your sweetheart is a car fanatic, this could be your chance to make like a racing enthusiast and go the extra mile. Compliments of Jennings Chambersburg, here are six Valentine's Day gift ideas for the auto enthusiast near and dear to your heart. A Day at the Track If your gearhead is an avid fan of NASCAR or Formula One, chances are they've fantasized about hitting pedal to metal in their favorite race car or luxury vehicle. Fortunately, there are spots throughout the country to test drive exotic cars at high speeds firsthand. By making the three hour trip to Pittsburgh, you can check out the Steel City's Xtreme Xperience race track. Slide behind the wheel of a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, or another incredible vehicle as you navigate around a 1.6-mile course. Prices for the experience start at $249. While you're at it, consider throwing in a new pair of leather racing gloves. If your significant other is going to spend the day cruising around at breakneck speeds, they should at least look the part. A Full Detailing What better way to express your own devotion than by showering your partner's car with love? The only thing that beats finding a brand-new car in the driveway on Valentine's morning is finding your trusted, reliable car looking like brand new. Detailing a vehicle can be as thorough a process as you want it to be; treat the exterior to a waxing, polishing, or repainting, while shampooing and lathering the interior. Detailing will do much more than save a trip to the car wash - it will resuscitate that new car smell. An Automotive Getaway Go big this year by planning a trip to one of the auto world's premier attractions. Book a flight to Los Angeles and visit the Peterson Automotive Museum, featuring one of the largest car collections in the world. Get lost in a world of gears and glamor when you check out iconic movie cars at Universal Studios. Or perhaps you'd prefer to vacation north in Detroit - the birthplace of the modern vehicle - and its nearby Automotive Hall of Fame in Dearborn. Better yet, make a road trip of it; cruising the open road in your Chevy Trax with your significant other by your side may wind up being the greatest gift of all. Lego Car Sets Whether you're seven or 70, it's hard to go wrong with Legos. When you don't have the money to gift your partner their dream car (and who does?), the miniature version can be just as thoughtful. It helps that Lego sets are now available in virtually every configuration you can imagine. Ferrari, Corvette, even James Bond's Aston Martin... you and your partner can spend the rest of the winter assembling them together. With prices ranging from $20 to north of $500, Legos are agreeable with most every budget. Amazon Echo Auto If your beau is still driving an earlier car model, bring them to speed on modern driving amenities with the affordable Echo Auto. Simply connect through your phone's Alexa app and enjoy a modern, hands-free driving experience. Listen to your favorite music or podcasts, call and message using voice commands, and more - all through the magic of this inconspicuous smart speaker. Driving Sunglasses Let's face it - you're (hopefully) going to be driving around central Pennsylvania with your partner for the foreseeable future. The least you can do is make sure they don't embarrass you. Keep your motorist muse looking sharp with a pair of aviator sunglasses. Check out this pair from Cyxus, which mixes UV protection with a classic style. It's All in the Game of Love Make this Valentine's Day one they'll never forget when you pay a visit to Jennings Chevrolet Buick GMC. If a new or pre-owned vehicle is in your short-term plans, this could be the perfect time to spring the ultimate surprise on your special someone. From the 2024 Buick Encore GX to the off-road dynamo that is the GMC Terrain, the grandest romantic gestures can be found right here at Jennings Chambersburg.

Hand a technician man repairing action and service disk brake for car,change Brake pads and system check in basic maintenance It’s the start of a new year, which incidentally means your car is officially one model year older - and needier. Still, by remaining vigilant for any potential warning signs, you can stay one step ahead of costly repairs this year. Plus, learning to spot these red flags early can significantly extend the lifespan of your vehicle. One thing you'll need to determine in 2024 is if you'll need new brakes. Courtesy of Jennings Chambersburg, here are five early signals that your brakes might be calling for your help. (Hint: it sounds a lot like screeching.) High-Pitched Screeching Often, you'll hear brake problems before you see or feel them. This is usually due to a high-pitched screeching sound that emits from your brake pads when they start to wear thin. However, it's important to note that the screeching isn't directly caused by worn-out brakes. Car manufacturers deliberately include a small metal piece in the brake pads to serve as an indicator, signaling the need for replacement. If the squealing noises persist even after installing new brake pads, the next step is to inspect your rotors. It's possible that they may have become glazed, which happens when the metal heats up and burns as a result of excessive braking. Take a look at your rotors for any blue marks or a dark ring, as either of these signs could indicate that it's time to replace them. If you start hearing a loud, metallic grinding sound instead of the screeching noise, it's a sign that your brake pads are completely worn out and need to be replaced as soon as possible. Immediately take your car in for service, as leaving your car in this position could potentially pose safety risks. The Eye Test Sometimes it's best not to overanalyze things. If you notice any visible issues with your brake pads, chances are there's an actual issue with your brake pads. The brake pads can be found between the wheel spokes, pressed against the rotors. Take their measurements, and if they're thinner than a quarter of an inch, it might be a good idea to schedule your service appointment with us at Community Chevy. Performance Anomalies When your brakes stop responding as quickly as they should, it may be a sign of a leak in your braking system. If your brakes are sending out vibrations (the kind that causes your steering wheel to shake, not the Beach Boys kind), either the brake pads or rotors need replacing. Your brakes regularly send signals like these to alert you about their condition. The better you become at understanding your vehicle, the easier it becomes to evaluate abnormal performance, determine the reasons behind it, and address it swiftly. Extreme Sensitivity You might start your Buick Enclave today only to find your brakes unusually sensitive, jerking you to a halt at the slightest tap of the brake pad. This could be the result of the rotors wearing down unevenly or the brake fluid needing a replacement. On the other hand, it becomes problematic when your brakes lack sensitivity and require excessive pressure to engage. This might indicate low brake fluid, worn-out brake pads, or even suggest an issue with your car's hydraulic system. Puddle of Doom The worst sight on a beautiful, sunny day is a pool forming beneath your parked vehicle. Unless it's leftover water from an unexpected overnight shower, chances are it's your car's brake fluid leaking out. You should be able to distinguish between regular motor oil and brake fluid, as the latter is visibly thinner. Give Me a Brake Life is full of starts and stops... but you should still have some autonomy over when they occur. Don’t compromise your safety or the health of your vehicle with faulty brake pads or rotors. Visit us at Jennings Chevrolet Buick GMC today, where we never put the brakes on a good deal. With our robust inventory of new and pre-owned vehicles, you’re sure to find the car, truck, or SUV that pulls out all the stops.

Longtime Corvette owners probably think one of two things when they see the above headline: “way to state the obvious,” or “that’s an understatement.” But although Corvette aficionados have been aware of the car's dependability for decades, we now have fresh polling data to support the stellar reputation of America's supercar. Consumer Reports surveyed its members about their car purchases in 2023, focusing on one key question: if you had to do it over again, would you buy or lease the same model? A plethora of luxury and high-performance vehicles jostled for positioning in the upper tier, but it was the Corvette that emerged as the clear, consensus choice for the top spot. (I Can Get) Satisfaction An overwhelming 93 percent of Corvette owners said they would definitely buy the car again, the highest mark in the Consumer Reports poll. For context, 88 percent of Rivian R1T owners said they would definitely buy it again – and Rivian’s electric pickup finished with the second-highest satisfaction score. A comparatively low 81 percent said they would re-purchase the Hyundai Ioniq 6, which was still good enough to slot in the list’s tenth spot. The entire Consumer Reports list was as follows: 1. Chevrolet Corvette (93% satisfaction score) 2. Rivian R1T (88%) 3. Mazda MX-5 Miata (88%) 4. Lexus NX Hybrid (87%) 5. BMW X5 (85%) 6.Rivian R1S (84%) 7. Ford Maverick Hybrid (83%) 8. Kia Telluride (82%) 9. Honda Pilot (82%) 10. Hyundai Ioniq 6 (81%) Unlocking a New Gear The Corvette’s continued popularity should come as no surprise. Last month, it was named to Car and Driver’s 10Best list for the 25th time (the second-most appearances ever, trailing only the Honda Accord). Yet even as the Corvette has become synonymous with consistency, it’s done anything but rest on its laurels. With the 2025 Corvette, Chevy will enter the sixth model year of the eight-generation Corvette (or Corvette C8). The 2024 base-level Stingray was the most powerful production model yet. Thanks to its LT2 V8 engine, which focuses its power on the rear wheels, it was able to blast a quarter mile in just 11.2 seconds. The Stingray also boasts 495 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque, and its 0-to-60-time clocks in at 2.9 seconds. Step Into a Corvette Whether you’re a longtime Corvette loyalist or simply someone craving satisfaction, we’ve got everything you need at Jennings Chambersburg. If the Corvette isn't your style, we've got a wide range of award-winning Chevy vehicles – such as MotorTrend’s 2024 Truck of the Year, the Chevy Colorado. From the Equinox to the Trax, our selection of new and used vehicles will surely include the perfect fit for you. You don't need to take a survey after your time at Jennings Chambersburg; when you drive off our lot, we guarantee you'll leave one hundred percent satisfied.

Drive using smartphone. Automotive technology concept. Infotainment, navigation communication device When GM announced earlier in 2023 that it was phasing out Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with its latest EVs, it was met with some confusion; why would GM go out of their way to dissolve popular features, and disrupt the level of phone-to-car interconnectivity that auto brands have been progressing towards? Now the company has spoken out in further detail about their decision, and it comes down to one factor: safety. And as we know, when it comes to your safety, General Motors leaves nothing to chance. Below, Jennings Chambersburg examines the reasons behind GM’s decision and the alternative that awaits the Chevy Blazer and other EVs. CarPlay and Auto: A Brief History Apple CarPlay is now almost a full decade old, having debuted in March of 2014. Its goal was to enable a car’s head unit or infotainment system to function as a display and controller for an iPhones’ iOS. Suddenly, a driver’s music, navigation systems, calls and messages could be fully accessed without taking your eyes off the road. A year later, Android Auto launched in March 2015. Like its Apple counterpart, it sought to mirror phone features through vehicles’ head units and infotainment screens. Although Google initially prevented Android Auto from accessing third party mapping apps – only allowing its own apps such as Google Maps and Waze – it relaxed these measures in 2020. Put Down Your Phones! Seeing as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto have more or less become standards, why would GM abandon them now - especially when the vast of Americans use Apple and Samsung phones? Those two brands currently account for 83% of the total smartphone market share. According to GM, the primary motivating factor is safety. Tim Babbitt, GM’s head of product for infotainment, cited driver distraction caused by cell phone usage. Babbitt insists that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto both suffer from stability issues, prompting drivers to take their eyes off the road and pick up their phones again when system connections are slow or unresponsive. With built-in systems, Babbitt argues, drivers will encounter fewer connectivity issues and therefore be less likely to pick up their phones. But the decision also takes into account more than safety concerns. With company-made software, GM sees the opportunity to collect and monetize more driver data, deliver a more comprehensive user experience, and even warm up the EV battery before driving – all of which Apple and Samsung lack the full ability to do. So... What’s Next? It should be said that GM’s decision is not without precedent, especially amongst their EV competitors. Both Tesla and Rivian opt for their own system in place of CarPlay or Auto, and both have been successful. GM hopes to follow this model with their “Ultifi” infotainment software, which features a suite of Google apps such as Google Assistant and Maps, as well as popular music apps like Spotify. In particular, Google Assistant has the potential to deliver a voice-controlled navigation assistant that is tied to every feature of your built-in system – including systems CarPlay and Android Auto wouldn’t have full access to, such as heating and cooling and battery monitoring. The test subject of this entire operation is the Chevy Blazer EV, the flagship vehicle of both the new built-in system and Chevy’s electric fleet as a whole. The Blazer EV is currently experiencing a temporary software-related sales stoppage, but hopefully all will be resolved soon and the Blazer will go on to demonstrate the full capabilities of GM’s vision. How Does That Sound? It may take some time before we see if GM’s strategy pays off, but one thing is certain - the potential of a seamless, built-in system is boundless. In the meantime, use whatever navigation system is at your disposal to plot a course for Jennings Chambersburg. Thanks to our huge inventory of new and pre-owned vehicles, from the suave Malibu to the roomy Traverse, you’ll be sure to find an offer that’s music to your ears.

Snow tires on winter landscape background 3d render Christmas may be right around the corner, but the Pennsylvania winter has thankfully remained tolerable so far. Temperatures have steadily remained above freezing, and there's been little in the way of precipitation. But as a wise man once said, “ winter is coming.” With that in mind, this is could be your best and final opportunity to purchase a set of snow tires before the landscape turns from grey to white. Jennings Chambersburg is here to help explain why that would be a wise decision. What’s the Difference Between Regular Tires and Winter Tires? As you might have guessed, winter tires provide significantly more traction on ice, sleet, and snow than regular (or "summer") tires. This is due to both the tire compound (i.e., rubber and silicone) and the tread patterns that permit stronger flexibility on slick surfaces. In fact, winter tires are designed to move water, as they melt the top layer of snow and ice when pressing down on it. Conversely, summer tires can freeze up during the colder months, leading to decreased performance. They also run a higher risk of deflation. In other words, the longer you keep rolling with summer tires this time of year, the higher the chances increase that you wind up at our Service Center. How Do I Know What Winter Tires Are Right for My Vehicle? The size of the tire is instrumental in determining whether it's the right winter tire for you. Conventional wisdom would tell you that wider tires equal better traction, right? In actuality, narrower winter tires are often more effective in cutting through ice and snow to hit the surface. As always, when it comes to the exact size of tires your vehicle requires, it’s best to consult your owner’s manual. Perhaps the most important thing to look for when purchasing winter tires is the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol. Think of it as the highest boy scout badge a snow tire can attain. When this emblem is stamped on the tire, you know you’re good to go in the snow. Are Winter Tires Actually Worth It? They are. We know it can be frustrating to have to dip into your bank accounts because of something as natural as the seasons changing. But with the increased risk that summer tires take on in winter months, there’s no guarantee you won’t be in the market for a new set of tires come spring anyway. Plus, the adage that “you can’t put a price on safety” is still around for a reason. Sticking with your original tires is a gamble that puts both yourself and your loved ones in a more precarious position. In other words, it's a gamble not worth taking. Don’t Skid into the New Year Purchasing tires can seem like a hassle regardless of the time of year, but the experience is made effortless with the tire professionals here at Jennings Chambersburg. We'll help you find the tires that are perfect for your vehicle, ensuring that you soar – not skid – into 2024.

Traditional Santa Claus driving a car With Thanksgiving now in the rearview, the holiday shopping season is officially underway. While coming away with the perfect gift can be a daunting task, narrowing your choices to a single field of interest can help provide some clarity. So for the avid car aficionado in your life, adding to their garage's inventory is a surefire way to make their nice list this year. There are thousands of car accessories, tools, and cosmetic upgrades available, each one a potential stocking stuffer for the gearhead on your list. Courtesy of Jennings Chambersburg, here are eight great auto-themed gifts that caught our eye in 2023. ThisWorx Car Vacuum Cleaner The interior of your car deserves more than a cursory vacuuming at the car wash every other month. With this handy, lightweight accessory, which comes with a 16-foot power cord, you can reach every corner of your car's interior, keeping it in pristine condition year-round for the comfort of yourself and your passengers. The mini-vac utilizes cyclonic force and powerful suction to completely clear dust and debris, and comes with three unique attachments: flathead, extendable, and brush nozzle. Avid Power Cordless Tire Inflator Your tires are more susceptible to deflation during the winter months, when every 10 degree drop outside could mean a loss of one or two PSI. Waiting for your low pressure light to trigger can be risky, as it can do so at any number of inopportune moments. Instead, try to monitor your tires more regularly throughout the winter months, servicing them more frequently. To do so, rather than waiting behind a line of cars at the gas station’s lone air pump, ask for this top-of-the-line portable tire inflator. With its 20V rechargeable Li-ion battery pack power supply, you won’t have to worry about exhausted tires slowing down your holiday travels. The Sno Brum The simplest, most effective way to clear heavy snow and ice from your windshield this winter is with an assist from the Sno Brum.

Before they came loaded with more modern tech than your average Apple Store, vehicles had a sole purpose: to safely and reliably transport their rider from Point A to Point B. For many of today’s drivers, that simple goal remains integral to their car buying experience. When the average commute in Chambersburg is around 21 minutes long, sometimes having a safe, reliable vehicle to get from point A to point B is all you need. Enter the 2024 Chevrolet Trax: an affordable SUV for the average driver that still comes equipped with an array of standard features, spacious backseat and cargo areas, and remarkable handle and performance. After skipping a model year in 2023 to undergo a thorough redesign, the Trax returns as a fully reimagined compact SUV that doesn’t lose its signature affordability as it showcases its exceptionality. Bigger & Bolder Compare the 2022 and 2024 Trax models side by side and the first thing you’ll note is that the new edition has grown. Chevrolet went to lengths to ensure the Trax’s redesign was no simple cosmetic reimagining; the next generation of Trax is bigger and more spacious than its predecessors in every way. Back-seat passengers are treated to ample legroom – approximately three inches more than the previous Trax. The cargo hold has increased seven cubic feet, from 19 to 26. All told, the 2024 Trax towers over its 2022 counterpart by a staggering 5.7 inches between the axles and 11 inches in total length. The thoughtfully remodeled interior provides luxurious accents while maximizing space, from the sensibly placed infotainment screen to the sunroof that is available with certain trims. An Array of Features The Trax is front-wheel driven and powered by a 137-hp turbocharged three-cylinder engine and six-speed automatic transmission.

Sometimes a good thing will end for no apparent reason, leaving you in a state of befuddlement. Your go-to menu item is absent from your local restaurant. Your favorite band breaks up at the height of their powers. Whatever the case may be, you find yourself unprepared for the moment, and may be unwilling to adjust accordingly. That moment came for Chevy Silverado enthusiasts in 2022, when the Silverado ZR2 arrived with its trusted 6.2-liter gasoline V-8... but no diesel option to be found. Amongst diesel purists who swore by the optional Duramax engine, introduced with the 2017 Colorado ZR2, the second tank’s exclusion stood out as a puzzling omission. Call the 2024 Silverado ZR2 a comeback story, then. While other competitors continued to distance themselves from diesel fuel, Chevy has somewhat surprisingly pulled an about-face. With an improved six-cylinder Duramax engine, the 2024 Silverado isn’t just a return to the diesel game – it's an evolution of it. Plenty of trucks on the market are vying for the title of off-road king, but the Silverado's return to diesel may have secured the throne. In terms of efficiency, the returning 3.0-liter Duramax diesel engine offers a 30 percent gain over the more guzzle-friendly 6.2-liter V8. With over 500 miles of combined range, the Silverado enables you to travel deep into off-road territory without fear of running dry. Thanks to the latest in suspension dampening technology, the 2024 Silverado makes even the most intimidating terrain easily traversable. The addition of the heavier diesel engine does little to alter the truck's balance, thanks to Chevy’s finely attuned suspension. If anything, the added torque makes one imagine the Silverado can navigate any conceivable surface, no matter how cumbersome. Indeed, it's the rare truck where its capabilities may be limited only by the imagination. As always, the 1500 is the faster, sleeker model, ideal for the weekend warrior thirsting for off-road adventure. The heavy-duty 2500 is its own behemoth, thanks in part to its independent front suspension. The 2500 is ideal if you want to show off the ZR2’s most audacious features, such its ultramodern Multimatic DSSV dampers. If the exterior of the 2024 Silverado is appropriately intimidating, the interior provides the familiar comforts of home on the road. In particular, the improved 13.4-inch infotainment touchscreen is ideal for giving the driver a highly visible app interface, perfect for when you need to navigate uncertain terrain without losing focus. Whether you’re a diesel purist looking forward to the comeback or content with the dependable V-8 option, Jennings Chevrolet Buick GMC is here for all your Silverado needs. With our wide variety of new and pre-owned trucks, we’ll put you on the road today so you can get off-road tomorrow.

Halloween pumpkin backgrounds As Halloween descends on Franklin County, your calendar is undoubtedly loaded with family activities: Fall drives, trips to the pumpkin patch, costume shopping, and so forth. You shouldn't be experiencing any jump scare within the comfort of your own car, before you even arrive at your destination. To ensure your autumn drives remain fright-free experiences, here are five auto tips for the colder weather, courtesy of Jennings Chambersburg. Check Tire Pressure For Ghostly Readings October signals that it's time for more than the latest entry in your favorite horror franchise - it also means temperatures are going to start dropping precipitously. And every 10 degrees that drop could cause your tires to lose one PSI. Thus, October becomes an ideal month to start regularly checking and adjusting your tire pressure. You can typically find the optimal tire pressure for your vehicle on the tire placard on the driver's side door. If your readings persistently return low, it might be time to schedule a consultation with Jennings Chambersburg to explore your tire options. Don't Let Low Battery Voltage Shock You As the thermometer drops, the potential for your battery to rapidly deplete rises, potentially affecting your car's heating, ignition, and other features. Ideally, your vehicle's battery should register at 12.6 volts with the engine off, and between 13.7 and 14.7 volts when the engine is running. Should it drop below these levels, give us a call and schedule your service appointment today. Be mindful of your battery's energy level - leave the shocking endings to M. Night Shyamalan. Keep Your Trunk Stocked with More Than a Back-Up Costume Road traffic tends to become more scarce during the winter months, particularly in remote areas. Hence, it's crucial to be ready for any road trials you may need to face alone. Prepare for an autumn drive as you would for a camping trip by stocking your trunk with essentials such as a first aid kit, flashlight, and jumper cables. As temperatures continue to fall, ice scrapers and extra antifreeze also become critical. And yes, an extra Halloween costume never hurts, since as we all know, no one loves their first choice. Consider Winter Blades to Wipe Out the Chill Even if heavy snow is not yet in the forecast, ice can accumulate on your wiper blades, especially during the chilly early morning hours. Consider purchasing a set of rubber-lined blades to keep your wipers functioning and maintain clear visibility during those increasingly dark evening drives. Keep one stead ahead of Mother Nature by checking your windshield wiper fluid more often and keeping an extra bottle of antifreeze handy. After all, the worst scares are the ones we never see coming. When In Doubt, Check It Out Like an overeager group of teenagers exploring every nook and cranny of an abandoned mansion, you'll want to check every inch of your vehicle for anything that appears out of the ordinary. When all else fails, you can always contact us at Jennings, Franklin County's number one spot for new and used vehicles. If you're looking to make a change this Fall, learn why this may be the perfect time to make the switch to an EV, and look into all your vehicle selling options. Just as you can be whatever you desire this Halloween, the possibilities here at Jennings Chambersburg are endless.
