Nearing New Year's in Knoxville: The Chevy Colorado 4WD LT's Practical Punch

As 2017 draws to a close, the residents of Knoxville will no doubt be looking to mingle, blow off steam, and perhaps find a soiree to show off that brand new vehicle at! New Year's Eve in the Old City will be an ultra-fun pub crawl: after purchasing one wristband, you gain access to five hoppin' venues that evening. Each bar has a different theme to keep you rockin' through the Eve, and they have also partnered with the Downtown Hilton of Knoxville to offer guests a special hotel package with overnight board and shuttle service. Embassy Suites Knoxville West is having a super-awesome black-tie affair, with dancing on their stunning ballroom floor, and traditional champagne toast at midnight.

With the year drawing to a close, many of our customers are telling us about their large dose of love for their trucks. Over the past week, LA Times writer Charles Fleming was assigned to uncover the finer points of driving the Colorado Redline 4WD LT, and the truly midsize design was one element that really stood out for him. He felt after trying many of last year's truck models out that “Climbing into the driver's seat requires a stepladder or running leap”, and enjoyed the Colorado's slightly lower stance. To be exact, it is about two inches lower than the Rival Ford F-150, sitting at right around 22.

Charles has much love for the Colorado in terms of the backup camera's usefulness and help it provides: he claimed ease of parking was a hugely positive selling point. This is also a truck that is a great choice for anyone who has to navigate down narrow streets, and was subsequently billed by Car and Driver as the all-able “Swiss Army Truck”. The 4-wheel drive and 3.6-liter V-6 engine are paired with perfection to Chevy's 8-speed automatic transmission, and it's good to know that this truck boasts a towing ability of 7000 lbs +. When people are asking us about which truck is right for them, this model really gets our pick for the “Do Everything” crew cab. With plenty of speed available, it is still off-road ready on short notice.

Come pay us a holiday visit at West Chevy and check out how great the “Active Tow” system is: it helps the driver by aligning the pickup during reverse, and V-6 models come standard with it. We are all very excited about Chevy's 100th anniversary this year, and the commemorative package for the Colorado is the perfect way to go about celebrating. Nabbing this gives you color-keyed grille and rear bumper, spray-in bed liner, chrome exterior bits, and the “Go Anywhere” attitude 18-inch wheels. One of the most sensible trim lines for anyone looking to get into a new Colorado is the LT: it equips you with some post holiday-awesomeness in terms of the crew cab, 3.6-liter V-6, all-wheel-drive, and standard box. After the dust settles and the New Year's parties are over, The Colorado will be dominating Knoxville streets: we love that folks out in the City of Angels are raving about its functionality, and it could be your perfect choice to ring in New Year's Folly!
