Can a truck be luxurious and capable? The question was unimaginable decades ago because trucks were designed to be tools and utilitarian workhorses with little focus or interest in luxury. You purchased a truck because you needed its capability, not because it offered premium comforts and conveniences. That mentality shifted when automakers like Chevrolet introduced modern marvels like the Silverado.

Every Chevy Silverado 2500 for sale on our lot is an impeccable blend of capability, luxury, and innovation. The Silverado has been a staple in the Chevy lineup since the late 1990s, with its numerous trims answering every driving, performance, and capability need. Chevrolet even answers the demand for luxury, balancing the Silverado 2500’s brute strength with opulence in models like the 2024 Silverado 2500 High Country.

The High Country is the best-equipped and most luxurious trim in the Silverado family. But what does luxury and innovation look like from behind the wheel? Here’s a closer look at how Chevrolet answers every need, from capability to comfort, convenience, and opulence, in the 2024 Silverado 2500 High Country.

A Choice of Powertrains

The 2024 High Country is the best money can buy in the Silverado lineup, with Chevrolet sweetening the truck’s packaging by giving you a choice of two potent engines. The standard 6.6L V8 gas engine is a powerhouse mated to an Allison 10-speed automatic transmission to deliver 401 hp and 464 lb-ft of torque. High Country drivers looking for more capability don’t have to look far, with the legendary Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel tuned to produce even more power than ever before. The re-tuned Duramax churns out 470 hp and 975 lb-ft of torque, making it the most potent and efficient in the lineup.

Incredible Capability

Chevrolet is renowned for its engine design, and the 2024 Silverado 2500 High Country is no exception, as it boasts two of the most potent powertrains in the industry. This potency translates to incredible capability, which Chevy expertly balances with opulence in the High Country. But how capable is the best-equipped Silverado 2500? Depending on the configuration, you can expect the 2024 Silverado 2500 High Country to offer a maximum payload capacity of 3,689 lbs and a maximum trailering capacity of 22,500 lbs when properly equipped.

Cutting-Edge Trailering Technologies

Building on the 2024 Silverado 2500 High Country’s impressive capability, Chevy outfits the truck with cutting-edge trailering technologies that instill confidence when towing heavy loads. These technologies include Enhanced Transparent Trailer, which expands the Silverado’s Transparent Trailer feature to accommodate fifth wheel and gooseneck trailers. Other tools, like the Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert, Hitch Guidance, and Hitch View, heighten your situational awareness. For example, the Trailer Side Blind Zone Alert monitors your surroundings and makes it easier to change lanes. The Hitch Guidance and Hitch View technologies simplify the hitching process by giving you a better view of the hitch relative to your trailer. You can even use the Hitch View to monitor the trailer hitch when driving.

The most exciting update to the 2024 Silverado 2500 High Country’s trailering technologies involves Adaptive Cruise Control. The feature now works when towing a trailer, transforming your experience when cruising at highway speeds. The technology recognizes the additional drag of the trailer and adjusts the Silverado’s responsiveness and the braking distance required to stop safely. Beyond this feature, you can also enjoy exclusive tools like the In-Vehicle Trailering App, which lets you run pre-departure checklists, monitor the trailer tire pressure, and keep up with trailer maintenance, mileage, and security alerts.

Luxury Is in the Details

Luxury is at the heart of the 2024 Silverado 2500 High Country, which showcases Chevrolet’s keen attention to detail. For 2024, the High Country introduces an exclusive Nightshift Blue interior with Jet Black and Umber detailing. The cabin features High Country badging and embroidery, which complements the authentic open-pore wood trim and the premium leather seating, with every seat heated and the front row seats also ventilated. Chevrolet even trims the door panels in fabric piping, ensuring every inch of the Silverado 2500 High Country’s cabin radiates opulence.

Stealth Mode Unlocked

While the 2024 Silverado 2500 High Country is exquisite, Chevrolet takes the truck’s appeal even further with the Midnight Edition Package. A first for the High Country, the Midnight Edition Package puts the Silverado 2500 in stealth mode. It outfits the truck in blacked-out elements, from the hood vent, badging, and lower skid to the door handles, grille, body molding, and assist steps. It also swaps the High Country’s bright 20-inch chrome wheels with high-gloss black-painted 20- or 22-inch wheels. Black Mirror Skull Caps finish the aesthetic and give the Silverado High Country an aggressive and imposing appearance.

Industry-Leading Durabed and MultiFlex Tailgate

The 2024 Silverado 2500 High Country is the most luxurious truck in the family, but its value extends beyond the comfort of its cab. Chevrolet outfits the truck with the most functional bed in the segment, with the DuraBed offering a best-in-class 83.5 cu.ft. capacity and exceptional versatility with its integrated lighting, 12 standard tie-downs, and spray-on bedliner that adds a layer of protection and ensures your cargo stays secure with its textured finish. The CornerStep rear bumper and BedSteps make accessing the bed easier, while the powered tailgate adds convenience. Of course, you can enjoy even more from the High Country by outfitting it with the Multi-Flex tailgate, a six-function design that transforms the Silverado into a more versatile work partner.

Extensive Digital Displays and Top-Notch Features

Chevrolet thinks of everything and equips the 2024 Silverado 2500 High Country with every feature and tool you need to stay connected, informed, and entertained. The top-tier trim boasts a class-leading 13.4-inch touchscreen display and a 12.3-inch driver information center that frames the Silverado 2500 High Country’s modern cockpit. As a command center, the infotainment display offers seamless smartphone integration via wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Google Built-In, navigational tools, Bluetooth capability, a WiFi hotspot, and more.

Apart from keeping you connected, the High Country offers a configurable head-up display that puts vital performance data on the windshield. The display ensures your focus stays on the road, heightening your situational awareness and safety behind the wheel. Of course, a host of features add to your driving experience, like the Bose Premium Sound System, which features seven strategically placed speakers throughout the cabin to deliver an immersive, concert-like listening experience.

Advanced Driver-Assist Tools

The 2024 Silverado 2500 High Country features the most extensive suite of safety and driver-assist tools in the Chevy lineup, which speaks volumes since Chevrolet excels at making so many features standard. For example, the Chevy Safety Assist suite outfits the Silverado with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, a Following Distance Indicator, Forward Collision Alert, and Front Pedestrian Braking. The High Country expands this suite, adding Front and Rear Park Assist to make parking easier and an HD Surround Vision Camera that extends your visibility 360 degrees around the truck.

A Legacy of Luxury

Buying a 2024 Silverado 2500 High Country has many benefits, from its upscale interior and innovative technologies to revolutionary features like the Durabed and Multi-Flex tailgate. Yet, there’s an even greater benefit than meets the eye. Owning a 2024 Silverado 2500 High Country gives you access to one of the greatest automotive legacies in the world. Chevrolet is renowned for shaping the global automotive landscape and helping put the world on wheels by making high-performing and luxurious vehicles more affordable and accessible. Today, the 2024 Silverado 2500 High Country is a testament to Chevy’s success and is your ticket to an incredible legacy of luxury and capability.

Drivers looking for ways to upgrade their 2024 Silverado 1500 will have plenty of options. Great engine choices, additional tech, and more packages to enhance your truck’s safety and good looks are available for drivers who want to take their trucks to the next level. If the Silverado 1500 is great, adding packages and extras to enhance what is already there could make it your perfect truck. Chevy is a brand that doesn’t believe in compromise. If you need additional camera angles to make driving safer—no problem. More engine power for towing/hauling—you bet! And additional creature comforts to make long drivers better—of course! The 2024 Silverado 1500 is available with some of the best add-ons and upgrades Chevy has ever offered.

Let’s Check Out the Packages

The 2024 Silverado 1500 has plenty of package options so you can upgrade and get the perfect truck for your needs. From changing up your car’s looks to upgrading its tech, Chevy’s package choices make it easy to pick up all the features or upgrades you need at one time.

The Technology Package is a collection of advanced systems to enhance your truck’s driveability and safety. It includes a rear camera mirror to deliver a wider view than the standard rearview mirror. A 15-inch Head-Up Display projects important information like fuel levels, speed, and alerts on your windshield so you never have to take your eyes off the road. Adaptive cruise control can work to ensure a safe distance between you and the car ahead of you. If you opt for the ZR2 trim, expect the tech package to also include a power tilt and telescoping steering column. The LTZ trim, when equipped with this package, also includes a Bed View Camera.

The Interior Convenience Package provides additional under-seat storage, a locked console-mounted safe, and all-weather floor liners. Sometimes, it’s the little things that count, and when they’re missing, we notice. Additional storage and security can be priceless when you’re in need.

As for appearances, there are two packages from Chevy this year to make your Silverado 1500 look even better. The Dark Essentials Package enhances your truck with black badging and nameplates, with black engine badging when you upgrade your engine to a 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 or the Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel V6. The Dark Appearance Package adds black recovery hooks and glossy black wheels to your truck. Combine the two packages to get an all-around sleek look for your next Silverado.

There are two available step packages, the Assist Step and Tonneau Value Package II and the Assist Step and Tonneau Value Package III packages. The Package II includes a Tri-fold soft tonneau cover plus the option of chrome or black 4” round assist steps. But keep in mind the chrome color is available for the following trims:

• Custom
• LT
• RST
• LTZ

While the black steps are available for the:

• Custom
• Custom Trail Boss
• RST
• LT Trail Boss
• ZR2

The Package III has a hard-folding tonneau cover instead of the soft option, plus off-road raised steps.

The Advanced Tailgate

Moving away from packages, drivers who want to add more features and convenience to their trucks will find it. One of the best ways to increase the use of your truck and make your job a little easier is with the available Multi-Flex Tailgate option. This feature is available across all trim levels. Six different functions make managing cargo and working outdoors less of a hassle.

Drivers will enjoy the two load stops, a primary and an inner gate load stop, with a full-width step for increased access to the truck bed and easier loading and unloading. The inner gate can fold down so you can reach farther in without straining. The inner gate provides drivers with a flat work surface that’s perfect for paperwork, measuring, or even eating lunch. Use your key fob to open or close your tailgate with the quick push of a button.

Interior Tech Enhancements

Available features inside can transform your cabin and make it easier to use your truck’s technology. Upgrade to a 13.4-inch infotainment touchscreen for easier use. An available 12.3-inch Driver Information Center makes it easier to view your vehicle levels, speed, alerts, and more. Upgrade your experience with Google Built-In. This tech upgrade unlocks access to things like Google Maps, personalized navigation, and more. If Google is what makes you comfortable, adjusting your truck’s tech to meet your preferences is easy this year.

Upgrade Your Engine Performance

There are three engine choices for the 2024 Silverado 1500 this year. All of them are great, but not all of them are available across all trims. If you want to opt for a different engine, make sure you get the trim and power that fits your lifestyle. The 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 is standard on high trim levels like the High Country and LTZ but can still be had on the WT, Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, and LT Trail Boss trims. This engine features 355 hp plus 383 lb-ft of torque, making it perfect for hard work, play, and everything in between.

The 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 boasts 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. This powerhouse only comes standard on the ZR2. But it is possible to upgrade when you choose from the Custom Trail Boss, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, or High Country trims.

The third engine choice this year is a Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel. Drivers will love the impressive and efficient engine that delivers 305 hp with 495 lb-ft of torque. However, this engine is only available when you choose to upgrade your Custom Trail Boss, LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, and High Country, as it doesn’t come standard on any trim.

Lots of Choices, Zero Comprises With Chevy

Chevy makes it fun and easy for drivers to get into the truck of their dreams without having to choose between features. If you want an enhanced appearance, more power, or additional tech features—no problem. Plenty of add-ons and packages are available this year to make picking out your ideal truck as smooth as possible.

The 2024 Silverado 1500 offers a surprise around every turn. Its Multi-Flex tailgate adds additional uses to the traditional truck tailgate. Choosing between engine choices means you get the performance you want from your truck. A package to increase security and storage helps keep you organized when you’re on the go. Besides the available packages, drivers can opt for tech, like the available Super Cruise, to go hands-free on over 200,000 miles of roads across the US and Canada. Whatever you need your Silverado 1500 to do, it’s possible thanks to the wide range of upgrades, available features, and great packages Chevy has put together for drivers this year.

Whether you’re looking for a car, truck, or SUV, there’s plenty of space when you pick up a Chevy. Also, buying a used Chevy helps you save money in multiple ways. From shaving potentially thousands off a price tag to low maintenance costs, you will surely find that a Chevy is the perfect addition to your family.

Whether your family is just starting out, growing, or finally settled, getting the right model to grow and change as your family does is essential. When you research and find the right Chevy, you can get flexible seating, cargo space, and great extras to connect with the great outdoors. This must sound like great news, but what if you’re simply not sure what Chevrolet model is ideal for your family? We get it because there are a lot of great Chevys. So, we’ve looked closer at some of the best used Chevy models for families. From the family who has to tackle the congested Highway 53 or I-64 for a weekend road trip to those who enjoy visiting Red Orchard Park for an afternoon of fun in the sun, no matter where your lifestyle takes you, you can bet there is a Chevy for that.

Three Rows For Three Times The Fun

The Chevy Traverse is a three-row midsize SUV that has been around since 2008. This gives drivers a wide range of pre-owned models to choose from. The Traverse is a great Chevy model for families for several reasons. We love the Traverse’s reputation for reliability, safety, and lots of flexibility. J.D. Power ranked the 2021 Traverse #1 in its Upper Midsize SUV category, and the IIHS gave the 2021 model top safety marks all around and awarded it a Top Safety Pick title.

The Chevy Traverse seats up to eight passengers. Even if your family is only half that size, this large, midsize SUV might still be appealing if you’re searching for lots of flexibility. The additional seating is perfect for last-minute passengers or two, additional car seats, or when you need to pick up your in-laws from the airport. Do you have lots of gear? Luggage? Need more space for the big move? Fold down the third row to enjoy the ample cargo room a Traverse offers your family.

Drivers searching for a real deal should keep an eye out for the 2019-2021 models to get plenty of great tech and modern convenience features. After a refresh in 2018, the Traverse saw an increased wheelbase, which in turn created more interior passenger and cargo space. When you want a midsize SUV that is a capable family hauler and more, the Traverse offers exceptional space for friends, family, pets, plus cargo. The smart design of the Traverse makes it easy to adjust seats and use the interior space how you need to. If your family is still growing or you simply need room to stretch out, keep your options open when you get behind the wheel of a Traverse.

Midsize Is The Right Size

The Chevy Equinox is a go-to model for many families of five or fewer. The value of an Equinox makes it a bargain for those who need a great crossover that isn’t too big or too small. The Equinox is just right in every way that counts.

The Equinox was introduced in 2005, so drivers will have plenty of options when shopping for a pre-owned model. But to access some of the latest convenience and safety features, going for an Equinox from the last five years or so is a safe bet for shoppers.

Drivers get good fuel economy and high dependability that won’t strain their budget before or after the sale. With available all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive, drivers can get extra traction or performance if desired. For families tackling the parks around the Shelbyville area, the Equinox will get you where you need to go. From hiking at the Greenway Trail to dropping off the kids at the skate park across town, the Equinox has room for skateboards, safety gear, a cooler, and anything else your daily adventure requires.

The thoughtfully designed interior features plenty of cubbies and storage space to keep daily essentials on hand or work and school materials organized and easy to access. Durable upholstery fabrics and modern accents make the Equinox feel more expensive than it is, giving you the creature comforts you want at a price that works for your family.

Drivers looking to scoop up a bargain will find a lot to love about the current third generation of Equinoxs that were rolled out in 2018. Keep an eye out for a 2019 model, as this year is known for its high-reliability rating and great customer satisfaction. It combines newer tech, flexible seating, and a great cabin design, making the Equinox ideal for Shelbyville families who want to get the most out of their SUVs.

One Truck Endless Possibilities

This one might not have crossed your mind, but if you need a truck for work, a family hauler, and want a camping machine for weekends, find what you’re looking for in a used Chevy Avalanche. This model gives you the perfect mix of truck and SUV capable of seating up to six people! So bring along the kids, their friends, and anything else the trip calls for; the Avalanche won’t let you down.

The Avalanche is ideal for families that like to get out into nature. Camping at Lake Shelby Park? No problem, don’t forget the bikes! Loading up the gang and gear for an afternoon at the Cleark Creek Family Activity Center? Don’t forget the duffle bags! The Avalanche is set to deliver power and convenience where and when you need it.

Even though the Avalanche only made it to 2013 before being discontinued by Chevy, this is a fantastic truck for families who want a vehicle that won’t let them down. Prepare to save a lot and get even more when you find one of these trucks on the pre-owned lot. Four doors make it easy for everyone to climb in, buckle in, and go. The safety of the Avalanche gives you the peace of mind you want for your family. Buying a second-generation Avalanche means you’ll be picking up a lot of value with lots of performance and power that won’t disappoint you. Stuck between a truck and an SUV for your next family vehicle? Get the best of both worlds with a pre-owned Avalanche.

Look For A Sedan Instead?

Yet another family-friendly pick is the Chevy Malibu. When you want a smaller vehicle with excellent fuel economy and seating for up to five, the Chevy Malibu is an outstanding choice. Drivers on the go count on the Malibu’s excellent reliability and low maintenance costs to get them to school, work, and around town without an issue. The Malibu is a midsize sedan that is perfect for your growing family. Seat up to five, or maybe you just need room for a car seat or two—no problem. The spacious cabin of the Malibu was made to keep everyone safe and comfortable.

Perhaps you don’t need a rugged off-roader, and you just want a vehicle to help you tackle errands, not the trails. The Malibu is understated yet offers plenty of pep and convenience with great trunk space for groceries, bags, and essentials. The stylish interior gives you comfort and durability, so your sedan looks great year after year.

Thanks to plenty of model years to choose from, drivers can select a Malibu that matches their budget. The Malibu picked up the title of ‘Best Cars for Families’ from U.S. News and World Report in 2017 for midsize sedans. If you opt for a slightly newer model, the 2021 comes fully loaded with impressive tech and modern styling, giving it a high-end look plus the practicality you want.

A Chevy For Your Family

A family vehicle isn’t a hard thing to find when you shop for a pre-owned Chevy in the Shelbyville area. The automaker offers a diverse range of great vehicles, from sedans to trucks, that can accommodate your family’s lifestyle. Maybe you need a safe car that fits a car seat plus and gives you a little extra space for daily essentials; pick up a Malibu and find out why it’s one of Chevy’s best-selling cars.

What if you want an SUV, but your spouse wants a truck? Then, a pre-owned Avalanche will give you the best of both worlds. The Chevy name means you never have to compromise. Enjoy plenty of space for the family with the flexibility of comfortable seating and ample cargo room for bikes, sports gear, and anything else you pick up along the way. If you truly want a vehicle that can meet your family’s needs, the rugged Avalanche is ready to meet the challenge.

Chevy offers a large crossover and SUV to give you plenty of choices when you are shopping for a family SUV. From a three-row SUV like the Traverse to a midsize value machine like the Equinox, there’s room for everyone when you get into an SUV from Chevy.

2024 Encore GX

Believe it or not, Buick (being a luxury car brand) has made the Encore GX very affordable, even for all that it offers. Starting with an MSRP of $25,600, you get a car that fits up to five people, stores up to 50.2 cu.ft. of cargo space, and has a good fuel economy with 29 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway.^[a] This FWD SUV is fitted with an 11-inch infotainment display to keep you informed and entertained as it wirelessly connects to smartphones.

Previous Encores

The Encore has an established track record for reliability. The first generation models from 2013 to 2022 have been dependable and up-to-date with their features, but let’s discuss the beginning of when Encore started to make waves: 2013, when Buick pushed forward one of their best Encore models. It was suited to safety and was a 2013 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick. With five trim levels available to choose from, the car only increased in popularity. With a 1.4L turbo 4-cylinder engine, this car has 138 hp and features a convenience package to provide confidence and protection for any driver.

With a bold, sexy design, you will never want to search for another car again, as it is built to keep you cozy and connected. It is perfect for families—especially those with pets—as the rear seats are upholstered to be cleaned easily.

Who is Driving the Encore?

So, no matter which Encore you choose, it has a little something for almost everyone. It is a comfortable ride with easy handling and contains plenty of safety features that can make this a great starting car for those learning how to drive, picking out their first car, transitioning from an old lemon that never really worked anyway, or for those looking to commute around the city. This does not mean that it is not great for other people, like small families, couples, and solo travelers. With a multifaceted usage, there are many reasons why most drivers will say yes to this SUV.

There’s no denying that having a reliable method of transportation is a major necessity for many consumers. For those who have occupational obligations that require a reliable workhorse, those who have some trailering and towing to undertake, or simply need something to facilitate their passions in the world of off-roading, a pickup truck has long been considered the best option. However, there’s another aspect of this equation, and that’s the cost that’s involved with purchasing one.

Many of us have been led to believe that anything of exceptional quality has a price tag to match it. After all, it’s only natural to assume we always get what we pay for. However, this is not always the case. The most reliable truck on the road is the Chevy Silverado 1500. Taking advantage of the many attributes that the Silverado possesses without paying full price is as simple as purchasing one from a great used Chevy dealership like ours here at Dan Cummins Chevrolet Buick of Georgetown. As we’re going to explain, the cost-effective advantages that allow you to recoup a sizable return on your investment more than speak for themselves.

1999: A Legend Is Born

At the dawn of the 20th century, Chevy established itself as a major force during the formative years of the American automotive industry. It was during this time that the pickup truck began its tenure as not just a symbol of Americana but an instrument that could make a sizable impact on both the working world and the needs of the average consumer. Because of the major role it played at the beginning of the century, it only made sense that when it came to its inevitable conclusion, the bow-tie brand would make another contribution as the new millennium began. It was in 1999 when the Chevy Silverado 1500 made its iconic debut. Since that time, the vehicle has not only gone on to become Chevy’s flagship project but also the standard bearer for what every pickup truck should ascribe to be in the fields of versatility, prowess, performance, and accessibility.

Taking Advantage of Depreciation

If you’re in the market for a used Silverado 1500, there are a number of things you should know about. The first of these is learning about depreciation and making this process work to your advantage. Depreciation is the process in which the value of a vehicle decreases a little bit each year. While this process occurs to every make and model and begins the moment one is driven off the lot, the rates vary depending on the vehicle you select. Keeping track of this process is relatively easy, as the yearly rates are published each year from a multitude of publications, most notably Kelley Blue Book.

As far as the Chevy Silverado 1500 goes, we’ll take the time to break down some of the depreciation that occurs over time. After the first year of ownership, a Silverado 1500 maintains 91% of its original value, meaning you can find a relatively newer model for slightly less than the original starting MSRP. If you’re looking to save even more, consider purchasing a model that’s four years old, as this retains only 80%. Less than 75% of the resale value is attained after a six-year period, meaning you have the ideal chance to obtain quality for less.

Repair Costs

It goes without saying that any vehicle you purchase requires general maintenance and upkeep performed at regular intervals to keep it running effectively. Similar to depreciation, this is something that cannot be avoided, and everything depends on the vehicle you own. If you’re thinking of a used Chevy Silverado 1500, you’ll be quite pleased to know that the vehicle has an impressive reputation when it comes to maintenance costs. The annual costs to keep a Silverado on the road stay well below the threshold of $1,000 for the first six years of ownership.

In this same allotted amount of time, the chances that a major repair will be required is just over the probability of 16%. The most common service that will be required is having the oil changed and tires rotated, which should be done every 7,500 miles. Suppose you’re looking to make a long-term investment. In that case, you might want to consider finding a used Silverado 1500 that’s equipped with a Duramax diesel engine, as many drivers have attested to putting upwards of 300,000 miles on the engine without needing a major repair.

A Look at Kentucky Insurance Rates

If you plan on purchasing a used Silverado 1500 from us at Dan Cummins Chevrolet Buick of Georgetown, you’ll find a considerable amount of great offerings to choose from. Aside from taking advantage of depreciation and repair bills that are easily affordable, you’ll find that insurance premiums are also much lower when it comes to used vehicles. While insurance premiums vary upon what carrier you choose, your driving record, and your age, the average yearly cost for insuring a Chevy Silverado 1500 in the state of Kentucky is $ 2,448 a year, and this balances out to approximately $204 a month. This data is for a new Silverado, and because used vehicles cost less, you should be able to shop around for an affordable rate that’s agreeable to your budget.

Get More for Your Money With a Model Before 2020

Many of us remember how tumultuous the year 2020 was. And while many think of the global pandemic as the event most commonly associated with the year in question, there was another event that had a significant impact on the world we live in. This took the form of a worldwide microchip shortage. What this meant for the average consumer is that many production quotas were limited, and some features for many vehicles could only be produced in limited quantities.

Now, if you’re looking for a vehicle with the special features you covet the most, there are two options. The first choice is to have a Silverado custom-built at the factory, which will ensure that you get first dibs on some of the items you want. But, because we’re talking about used versions of the Silverado 1500, we present this other option. Looking for a vehicle manufactured before the 2020 model year means paying less and getting more. If you’re unsure of which years come with certain features, our friendly and knowledgeable sales team will be happy to assist you in choosing the perfect option.

Invest in a Pre-Owned Silverado 1500 Today

As we’ve found out today, obtaining a vehicle of exceptional quality isn’t limited to those with a disposable income. As one of the most trusted brands to ever exist, Chevy’s reputation for quality has lasted several decades, and as we’ve seen today, it’s lasted into the modern era as well. A used Silverado 1500 can afford you all of the advantages that you need for work, play, and every other activity that falls in between. And the advantages are exactly what you’ll find when you come to shop with the experts at Dan Cummins Chevrolet Buick Of Georgetown. With an impeccable selection and a staff who make it their business to know what makes Chevy function, there’s no other dealership quite like us.

Too often, when shopping for a vehicle, people feel like they need to compromise on what they want and end up with something good but lacking in some vital areas. We believe you should never have to compromise when it comes to getting what you’re looking for in a vehicle, and the Buick lineup is the perfect example of this. If you’re interested in a small crossover model with sporty performance, gorgeous style, and the perfect combination of both luxury and comfort, then the 2024 Encore GX is an amazing choice. As your Buick dealer near Shelbyville, we feel it’s our job to ensure people know about the exciting vehicles that Buick brings to the road year after year.

With the Encore GX, you’ll find a terrific small crossover for getting around Shelbyville and enjoying yourself whenever you get behind the wheel. You have three different trim levels to choose from (the starting Preferred, moving up to the Sport Touring, and then the pinnacle Avenir model) and two engines on offer, so there are numerous ways you can put together an Encore GX to get just what you need. Let’s take a look at everything it has to offer, and we’ll pay special attention to some of the differences from one trim to another so that you’ll know which Encore GX is perfect for you.

Engines, Performance, and Driving Experience

The engine is a great place to start with any vehicle; it can be tempting to think that it only really matters for a big truck or sports car, but that’s not the case. Even with a small crossover SUV, you want to get enough power to make it fun to drive. The 2024 Buick Encore GX has two different engines available, though only the starting Preferred trim offers both; otherwise, you simply get the more powerful option standard.

With the Encore GX Preferred, you get an EcoTec 1.2L Turbo engine standard, which provides 137 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque. If you’re interested in boosted performance, then there’s an available 1.3L Turbo engine that delivers 155 hp and 174 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are excellent, though there’s no denying that the 1.3L Turbo is our favorite pick. You get a continuously variable transmission with either engine, which ensures you enjoy a smooth and responsive time on the road, or the option for a 9-speed automatic transmission if you choose the 1.3L engine.

Front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard on the Buick Encore GX and is your only choice if you go with the starting engine. You can get all-wheel drive (AWD) if you prefer on all three trims, but it’s only offered with the more powerful 1.3L engine. This makes it simple to get the kind of driving experience you prefer, and an AWD model is the perfect choice if you drive on a lot of dirt or gravel roads or if you want something that keeps you in control when the weather gets rough in Shelbyville.

A Gorgeous and Refined Exterior

Even from the outside, simply looking at the Buick Encore GX, you can tell it’s something special. Standard features on the Preferred trim include 18-inch Bright Silver aluminum wheels, a molded color rear bumper, and a beautifully designed front grille with active upper shutters. It comes with automatic on/off LED headlamps, along with IntelliBeam high beams that can automatically turn on and off based on surrounding light and traffic conditions. The heated outside mirrors stay clear even in cold weather, while Buick QuietTuning helps reduce, block, and absorb unwanted sounds to ensure you enjoy a quiet interior.

Moving up to the Sport Touring, you get 18-inch gloss Black wheels, roof-mounted side rails, and silver-painted inserts for the front and rear bumpers. You’ll find chrome and gloss Black details throughout the Sport Touring’s exterior, including a high gloss Black grille. The Avenir takes on a bolder look thanks to 19-inch Pearl Nickel wheels, a Black Ice Avenir grille, and LED clear lens tail lamps. You’ll get a stunning ride no matter which model you choose, but there’s no doubt that the Avenir was designed to turn heads.

Luxury Meets Comfort Inside the Encore GX

The moment you get inside the 2024 Buick Encore GX, you’ll immediately understand why so many people love this vehicle. Looking at the starting Preferred trim, you’ll find a stunning 11-inch HD color infotainment display with support for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This is paired with a six-speaker sound system, and you get cloth seating with leatherette trim, including a six-way adjustable driver’s seat. The Preferred brings an extra touch of luxury with a wrapped steering wheel, an 8-inch color Driver Information Center, keyless open and start functionality, cruise control, and Single-Zone Manual Climate Control that’s perfect for Shelbyville.

Higher trims elevate your experience even further, as you might expect; the Sport Touring comes with a flat-bottom steering wheel for a racecar feel you won’t get with the Preferred model. For an incredibly sophisticated experience, you owe it to yourself to check out the Avenir, which comes with leather-appointed seating, including an eight-way power driver’s seat and six-way power front-passenger seat. You get a two-way power lumbar in both seats, heated seats up front, a heated steering wheel, and Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control. Available options let you take things further, including cruise control and a Bose seven-speaker premium sound system.

Fantastic Safety Features for Getting Around Shelbyville

Although we love to focus on luxury and comfort in a vehicle, true luxury is getting home safely, and real comfort is the peace of mind from knowing your vehicle will help protect you. That’s why we love the fact that the Encore GX comes with the Buick Driver Confidence suite of safety features standard on every model. This includes a Forward Collision Alert to warn you about a potential crash and Automatic Emergency Braking to help you avoid one. You also get Front Pedestrian Braking to help if someone unexpectedly steps out in front of you while you’re driving, plus a Lane Keep Assist system with a Lane Departure Warning to help you avoid wandering into other lanes.

A Following Distance Indicator is also standard, which warns you if you’re too close to the vehicle ahead of you, along with IntelliBeam auto high-beam assist. You get an HD Rear Vision Camera in every model to provide you with excellent visibility while backing up, along with a Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert to help you when someone is hiding just out of sight. There are even some available options to elevate safety further, including Rainsense wipers that come on automatically and Rear Park Assist that can warn you about detected objects or vehicles near you while you’re in reverse.

Which Encore GX Is Right for You?

No matter what you’re looking for in your next small crossover model, you can see that there’s a Buick Encore GX that can meet your needs. You should never have to compromise on what you’re looking for in a car or accept something that fails to deliver what you want. With a fantastic Buick, you can enjoy sporty performance, innovative technology, sleek and gorgeous designs, advanced safety, and an amazing blend of both luxury and comfort. If you’re still unsure which features and options will best meet your needs, we’re here to help.

When it comes to the SUV, the philosophy behind the design that many consumers go for is based on subcompact and crossover models, which is certainly a far cry from what the marketplace was like two decades ago. It’s almost hard to fathom that at one time, the prevailing wisdom behind the vehicle was one of “bigger is better,” and the dominant designs in the marketplace certainly go to prove that. And while smaller SUVs tend to be more popular among the masses as of late, there still exists a need for larger models with the capability and three rows of seating for larger-than-average goals and full-sized families.

Here at Dan Cummins Chevrolet Buick of Georgetown, we’re pleased to announce that a perfect balance of these two different schools of thought has been reached in the form of the 2024 Chevy Traverse. Recently redesigned for the upcoming model year, the Traverse has been reimagined to benefit the lives of the average consumer and adventurer alike. Join us today as we examine the vehicle in question and, hopefully, will ignite your curiosity and have you visit our lot as the Traverse makes its way to your favorite local Chevy dealer near Shelbyville.

New Year, New Look

At first glance, one might recognize the Traverse as it begins an all-new generation. The redesign that Chevy has undertaken affects every aspect of the SUV, and its new exterior design features a jet-black fascia and a pair of 22-inch wheels to help you make a bold statement wherever you decide to travel. The new design is perhaps best described by Car and Driver Magazine, which referred to it as “beefed up.” Its new imposing appearance is certainly a throwback to the SUVs from a few decades ago. It brings the designs into the modern era with a revamped focus on style, technology, and performance.

Doing More With Four (Cylinders) in 2024

One of the biggest changes to coincide with the 2024 model year concerns the powertrain of the Traverse. Abandoning the V6 that it used in recent years, every trim is equipped with a turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder engine paired with a highly-capable eight-speed automatic transmission. This new engine propels the traverse forward with the benefit of 328 hp, which is certainly proof that the expression “doing more with less” is certainly truthful.

This combination can be utilized with either FWD or AWD and for those who consider themselves trailing types, a maximum capacity of 5,000 lbs is generous and allows for better-than-average capability in terms of hauling. While there’s been no testing conducted by the EPA in assessing the fuel economy of the new Traverse, we feel that the new four-cylinder setup will provide a more conservative fuel consumption than the V6 did.

A Spacious, Technology-Filled Interior

Those needing a large SUV with seating and storage will feel right at home in Chevy’s third-row offering. And before we delve into the standards that many drivers expect out of their SUVs, we feel it’s important to begin with what you can expect in the driver’s seat of the new Traverse. Chevy has always maintained a reputation for its rugged dependability and devotees who are known for not getting their hands dirty after a hard day’s work. The luxurious offerings that have the GM badge have always been associated with Buick, GMC, and, most notably, Cadillac. That said, Chevy has upped the ante at the card table and delivered in this department in more ways than one.

While the Traverse is certainly a large SUV, and there’s no denying this, the real “large and in charge” aspect of the vehicle can be found in its infotainment screen. Standard on all versions of the traverse is a best-in-class screen that spans to an astronomical size of over 17.7 inches. This is paired with an 11-inch Driver Information Center. Chevy has outfitted the new interface in such a way that gives new meaning to the term “user-friendly,” as it can be configured to a driver’s individual taste in how the information is presented. Of course, there are plenty of offerings that devotees of the SUV class will gravitate towards. An available 98 cu.ft. of storage space is rivaled only by the Suburban and Tahoe models, and three rows of seating provide comfort for every passenger. So you see, there’s quite literally something for everyone.

Introducing the Chevy Traverse Z71 Trim

No, your eyes are not deceiving you, and you did, in fact, read that right. Anyone who’s an experienced off-roader and enjoys having their adventures taking place off of the beaten path and away from the stifling confines of civilization is well familiar with the Z71 badge. For 2024, Chevy has granted this unique distinction to the Traverse, allowing it to join the ranks of its off-roading siblings and journey where it’s never been before.

The Z71 trim will feature standard AWD with a dual-clutch performance, as well as a customized front bumper specifically built for the rigors of traveling off-road. All-terrain tires, hydraulic rebound control, and Hill Descent Control are also included to take your off-roading experience to a place it’s never been before. If you’ve ever wanted to take the family off-roading but don’t feel like shelling out the money for the Tahoe Z71, this is your chance.

More Safety Features for the Ultimate Peace of Mind

Many drivers who have their eye on the 2024 Chevy Traverse are family-oriented. As such, Chevy has equipped more driving assistance and safety technology to facilitate a safe journey, no matter where your destination might be. The Traverse comes with a host of standard safety features, including Automated Emergency Braking with Cyclist and Pedestrian Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and Forward Collision Alert.

Perhaps the biggest attribute for the 2024 model year is the Traverse being equipped with standard Adaptive Cruise Control, allowing the SUV to compete with offerings from Toyota and Honda, which have both offered the feature as standard for a while now. For those looking to enhance their driving experience further, the Traverse can also be equipped with Super Cruise, GM’s hands-free, semi-autonomous driving program. With so much to offer, you can expect the 2024 Chevy Traverse to be the hottest SUV on the market for the 2024 model year.

Get Behind the Wheel of a 2024 Chevy Traverse Today

With more features, a bold new design, and a powertrain that proves you can do more with less, the 2024 Chevy Traverse is a masterclass in what an SUV should be. And with so many new safety features that come standard, the entire class had better play catch up if they hope to compete with Chevy in the upcoming year. When you come to shop with the experts at Dan Cummins Chevrolet Buick of Georgetown, you don’t need to worry about playing catch up because we’re always one step ahead of the curve in terms of providing the very best to our customers in terms of selection, sales, and service.

Nothing gets the automotive world amped up like the unveiling of new vehicle models and the innovative features being released along with them. For the 2024 model year, Buick is yet again out to dazzle potential buyers and auto enthusiasts alike with their edgy yet luxurious new lineup of vehicles. Backed by cutting-edge technology and a reputation for comfort and reliability, these Buicks are sure to have buyers intrigued.

If you’re a Kentucky driver looking for a Nicholasville Buick dealer, look no further than Dan Cummins Chevrolet Buick of Georgetown. We proudly offer the latest and greatest Buick models to our beloved customers, and needless to say, the excitement we feel heading into the 2024 model year is palpable, given all the changes Buick is unleashing upon us. We want you to feel the excitement with us, which is why we’re about to jump headfirst into the details behind each 2024 Buick model and what kinds of changes you can expect to see.

The 2024 Buick Enclave

As Buick’s flagship model, the 2024 Buick Enclave seeks to redefine what it means to be comfortable and luxurious. Its cavernous cabin and sleek exterior work together to help this midsize SUV ooze sophistication. What sets it apart, however, is its slew of advanced driver aids, which now include autonomous driving capabilities that function during traffic jams and while out cruising around on the highway. HD Surround Vision is available on the base Essence trim level and standard on the Premium and Avenir.

There are also plenty of industry-leading infotainment features and connectivity options to keep you informed and engaged during your commute. A head-up display comes on the top two trim levels, on which you also get standard integrated navigation. The 2024 Enclave is powered by a 3.6L V6 engine, which is both fuel-efficient and responsive on the road. It delivers ample power to allow for effortless highway passing and merging. Paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission, you will feel some smooth shifts that lend to the Enclave’s strong sense of efficiency.

You can also enjoy Buick’s intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD) system if you choose. It delivers enhanced stability and traction when driving conditions get difficult. Rain, snow, and rugged terrain are no match for this AWD system. With the well-tuned suspension making the ride feel composed and stable, the overall driving experience is better than ever before.

The 2024 Buick Envision

Test models of the 2024 Buick Envision have been hidden beneath a veil of camouflage, but from what spectators have been able to tell from this, there seems to be a refresh on the way for this model. There are likely to be some updates to the vehicle’s exterior styling, which has been due for some sharper and more angular lines to help bring the Envision up to speed. There are also some redesigned LED headlights that look slender and even more high-tech. A new signature front grille adorns the Envision, offering a more contemporary visage. What’s more, the Envision is the very first Buick to receive optional Super Cruise driver assistance technology, which lets you go hands-free while driving.

The second generation of the Envision debuted for the 2021 model year, and since then, there haven’t been any major updates. Given that this is the case, it makes sense for Buick to spring some surprises on us for the 2024 model year. You will still find a chic and comfortable interior full of features. Look for Buick to infuse more personality into the Envision’s cabin to make it compete even better in the luxury segment.

The 2024 Buick Encore GX

Buick has been busy adding to the popular Encore GX lineup. The Encore, now out of commission, started its run in 2013, but the Encore GX has only been in production since the 2022 model year. This vehicle is one of the larger and more luxury-oriented compact SUVs. It has many additional features and offers a lot of cabin and cargo space, 50.2 cu.ft. to be exact. 2023 didn’t see any real significant changes, but the 2024 lineup is adding a few things.

The first-ever Avenir trim debuts for the Encore GX lineup and represents the height of luxury expression in a Buick. There is also an all-new 11-inch diagonal ultrawide infotainment display system that offers crisp graphic readouts. The front end also sees some revisions, bringing it up to date with slender checkmark-style LED headlights and a revised front grille. The result is a more aggressive aesthetic. Inside, you get treated to standard cloth with leatherette on the seating surfaces, plus there are new interior accents to dazzle your eyes.

Introducing the 2024 Buick Envista

The biggest splash that Buick is making for the 2024 model year is, without a doubt, the introduction of the 2024 Buick Envista. This vehicle slides between the subcompact Encore GX and the bigger Envision, effectively replacing the standard GX. This small-ish SUV is still easy to maneuver but gives plenty of interior space.

Powered by a 1.2L turbocharged 3-cylinder engine that turns out 136 hp and 162 lb-ft of torque. A previous generation of this engine has been offered on other Buick models, but this new one utilizes fewer parts, making it lighter and better able to deliver good fuel economy and handle better. Front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard, and a 6-speed automatic transmission comes equipped. EPA estimates state that the Envista should get 30 MPG in combined driving, which is respectable for this segment.

The Envista’s turbo engine performs strong off the line, and while there is no Sport mode, you can have a good time driving around town. The ride quality feels compliant even as you traverse uneven and rugged pavement. This vehicle tracks straight when you take it out on the highway, and the cabin feels comfortable overall. The Envista packs in just enough creature comforts for the price. The vehicle’s front seats are cushioned well with ample padding for spinal and thigh support. You can opt for heated front seats if you’d like that extra touch of luxury.

The Envista has a lot of space for all its occupants, with those sitting in the front seats getting treated to two sizable digital displays housed beneath a single glass panel, looking futuristic and cool. The digital instrument panel is an impressive 8 inches, while the infotainment system’s screen comes in at 11 inches. The Preferred, ST, and luxurious Avenir have their own unique combinations of interior trim and chic upholstery options to choose from.

Looks-wise, the cabin’s materials are in line with what comes on the Encore GX. The flat-bottom steering wheel isn’t extremely flat but looks sporty and has many of the same touchpoints with the same premium feel. Some hard plastics are predominantly focused on the center console, but this is on par with vehicles in this price range. The rear seats give ample legroom, so much so that even someone over 6 feet tall can comfortably sit behind someone of the same height. The sloping roofline doesn’t even detract from the head space in the back. You can fold the 60/40-split folding rear seats down to increase cargo capacity from 20.7 cu.ft. to 42 cu.ft., a respectable showing for this class.

Buick sets the Envista up with a slew of standard infotainment features. The infotainment system offers crisp, clear graphics on menus that are easy to navigate. The climate control system’s settings are divided into a decent number of virtual and physical buttons. The digital ones are easy to access, and smartphone app integration is standard across the lineup. You get peace of mind from the numerous driver assistance features that come standard on the Envista, courtesy of the Buick Driver Confidence suite, that gives you tools like Automatic Emergency Braking and a Following Distance Indicator. Other available features include Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

Buick Is Upping the Ante for 2024

Buick is not slacking for the 2024 model year, that’s for sure. With the introduction of the all-new Buick Envista, Buick is looking to up the ante for luxury SUVs. The SUV segment is already competitive, and the luxury class is even more so. Buick aims to compete while still keeping things affordable enough. The future of driving is one that, in Buick’s eyes, is meant to be riveting, one where performance and technology mesh with sustainability in the automotive industry.

Buick won’t be releasing the all-electric Electra E5 until 2025, but their move toward more lightweight gas-powered engines here and now shows their dedication to innovative technologies. Dan Cummins Chevrolet Buick of Georgetown has all kinds of great Buicks in stock, and we can help you order and customize one of these new 2024 Buick models. Come in today and let us help you get behind the wheel of one of these thrilling new models.

An Overview of the 2024 Chevy Malibu

As a quick reminder of what comes standard on every trim of the Chevy Malibu, you’ll get a generous suite of driver assist and safety features to keep you confident on the road. This will all be a part of the Chevy Safety Assist, which includes lane departure warnings, a following distance indicator, emergency braking, and other features that will help you avoid accidents on the roads in Nicholasville and the surrounding area. Rear park assist is now standard across all models for the 2024 year to help you reverse into difficult parking spots.

What many families love about the Malibu is that it also has the standard Teen Driver technology, which lets you set limits on things like speed and music volume to encourage better driving habits from your adolescent driver.

As you can see, even the base-level trim of the Malibu will have plenty of features that make it a great value. However, for those who want something special, we suggest considering the 2LT trim.

The 2024 Chevy Malibu 2LT Trim

The Chevy Malibu 2LT trim is the top Malibu trim. It contains almost everything the other trims feature, along with many other enhancements exclusive to this trim. While each model offers its own set of features to appeal to various lifestyles and budgets, those wanting a truly unforgettable driving experience need to check out this thrilling Malibu trim.

The Advanced Safety Features of the 2LT Trim

So, on top of the standard driver assist features you get in the other trims, the 2LT can come with the available Driver Confidence and Cruise Package, as it is exclusive to this trim. This includes the Automatic Parking Assist, which works by scanning for parallel or perpendicular parking spots and then taking over steering for you, too. You will still be in charge of braking, accelerating, and shifting gears. However, this feature can help you get those tiny little adjustments you must make when squeezing into a tight spot so you don’t have to rely on your eyes to avoid a ding or scratch.

This package also comes with Adaptive Cruise Control, which does what regular cruise control does (aka, stick to your desired speed without you putting your foot on the gas or brake), but then it also takes into account your preferred following distance and adjusts accordingly. You’ll also get Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking, which will notify you through audible and visual alerts when approaching the vehicle in front of you too quickly and eventually automatically apply hard braking if necessary.

2LT Features That Make Great Days Even Better

We’ve covered the serious stuff; let’s get to the fun stuff. These are the features that we believe make the 2LT trim the perfect vehicle for cruising around Nicholasville and nearby Lexington. First, there’s an available dual-pane power sunroof to enjoy rays on those stunning Nicholasville summer days. It opens with a simple push of a button, so when you want to let the natural light in while cruising past vineyards or through a national park, you can easily do so. If you want to use your phone to look up cute coffee shops or antique stores along your way, you’ll appreciate the standard wireless charging, too.

As for comfort, the 2LT gets standard ventilated front seats. If you live in Nicholasville, then you know that the summers can be blisteringly hot. Having that cool breeze running up your back can make all the difference and means you don’t need to slowly peel yourself off the upholstery when you arrive at your destination. There’s also Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control on the 2LT to let you and your passenger select your ideal cruising temperature.

If you’re always exploring new destinations in the region, you’ll like that the 2LT has built-in Chevy navigation. This is part of the Chevy Infotainment 3 Plus System and gives you perks like turn-by-turn directions and multiple map views. Customizing the system is easy, too, and you can do things like change the navigation voice, opt for the most fuel-efficient routes, and more.
