Chevrolet Silverado HD [reviews]

Validation is to drive a new 2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD trucks, engineer Brent Deep towed 20 000 pounds (9,072 kg) trailer 245 miles (400 km) along the I-70 between Denver and Grand Junction, Colorado - and he just touched the brakes the whole way.

Deep is based on a new Chevrolet Silverado, intelligent exhaust brake system slows the combination of car and trailer bills, helping to test the new system is suitable for harsh conditions. It 'been a disc in the heart of the Rocky Mountains and some inter-state system of the steepest grades with heights from Denver about 5000 feet (1525 meters) above 11,100 feet (3400 m) is the Eisenhower Tunnel.

"It takes courage to let your foot off the brake, but the engine of the Chevrolet Silverado Duramax Allison Transmission and execute the task with the sweetness and confidence that impressed the most," said Deep. "Better yet, the system exhaust brake can help extend the life of brake pads and help prevent overheating of the brakes on long descents. "

The braking function exhaust system is one element that makes the new 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD, the brightest in the industry. They will go on sale this summer.

"We were looking for input during the development of our 2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD for a car that meets or exceeds their needs," said Jim Campbell, executive director of Chevrolet. "It provides more power and abilities - including the fuel economy leader in its class, trailering and payload ratings - and more power, accelerates faster and has lower emissions This sounds like the very definition makes no compromises .."

The Chevrolet Silverado HD heavy lineup is broader than ever, with 11 2500HD and 3500HD eight wheels and two rear one - including a new 3500HD Crew Cab with a loan of 6.5 meters. WT, LT and LTZ are available, and popular features such as EZ Lift tailgate and return system rear view camera. All models provide greater capacity, improved ride and handling and a greater sense of control of the driver. According to the model:

Segment-best towing capacity of the fifth wheel of 20,000 pounds (9072 kg)

Segment-best towing capacity increases to conventional 23 percent, with a maximum of 16,000 pounds (7272 kg)

better payload capacity of the segment � 6,335 (2,873 kg) of a complete vehicle

Segment-best gross combined weight rating is � 27 500 (12500 kg)

Ratings of gross vehicle weight increases up to 17 percent of 13,000 pounds (5,909 kilograms)

Front axle weight rating increased by nearly 25 percent to 6,000 lbs (2721 kg)

Snowplow functionality is now available in all cab configurations 4WD

It 'also need to improve power supplies, such as the new 6.6L Duramax Diesel / Allison 1000 six-speed automatic transmission that offers the exhaust system of brakes, new front and rear suspension, improved braking system, Hill Start Assist and Trailer Sway control and more.

"With all their heavy equipment, these trucks are designed to be elegant and refined, both inside and outside," said Campbell. "We paid special attention to every detail, giving a distinctive appearance, muscular exterior and interior are equipped with comfort, convenience and safety of our customers appreciate."

Outside, 2011 2500HD Silverado 3500HD models differ, and the power dome hood with a new style and new design cues and a chrome grille, full width steel front bumper. The new line-up 17 -, 18 - 20-inch wheels and combination / tire is also present (circles polished 20-inch forged aluminum wheels are available 2500HD).

Designers and engineers left almost no chance to bolt for the review of the trucks. Here are 11 key elements are the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD is ready for any job and any competitor:

A new framework

In the search for the complete reconstruction of the Chevrolet Silverado HD chassis to enhance durability and the horse, while supporting increased capacity, engineers have developed 11 all-new, fully boxed frame assemblies. Administrators have increased the sections and a more high-strength steel for durability, greater towing capacity and improved ride and handling, the front sections are hydroformed.

Bending and stiffness of frames is radiating up 92 percent and 20 percent, respectively, fully boxed sections increase torsional rigidity by a factor of five. In addition, major engine and transmission media, combined with a 125-percent-front structure stiffer frame provides greater vibration, while the body of hydraulic engine mounts are formed in the section on Extended Cab models cabin crew for a more isolated feel inside.

Engineers sent to customers and end uses of the secondary market in the design of new executives, including the addition of access holes to the rear frame section to allow easy installation of hooks fifth-wheel/gooseneck- style. Moreover, the classical frame-mounted trailer hitch is stronger, with a tube design of the box. Supports up to 16,000 pounds (7257 kilograms).

Strong new independent front suspension

A redesigned independent front suspension provides a weight division for more than 25 percent per axle - up to 6,000 pounds (2,721 kilograms) front axle weight rating Gross Vehicle (FGAWR) - which allows hunters to use in snow all Cab 4WD configurations with snow plow preparation package available, while also supporting improved ride and handling.

Chevrolet Silverado signature of the short-long arm / suspension design of front torsion bar remains, but now has new, forged steel upper control arms that are stronger and lighter than its predecessor. New lower control arms in precision machined cast iron handle large loads. Five different torsion bar rates to support five different front Gross axle weight rating (one of the torsion bar has been previously used for all models). This will help to stabilize the different cutting heights of the various models under load and at the same time improve the appearance, handling, durability, tire wear and alignment. Cutting height is adjustable through a column of the bolt, can be easily modified when the height of the weight of the snow plow or other accessories.

The front suspension now uses a couple Chevrolet Silverado HD polyurethane cap on each side, instead of one, to manage the occupation has improved, and there is a newly designed upper shock mount bracket is positively related to the framework with two fasteners. This design eliminates the squeaks and clunks, while supporting the greater load capacity and longer life.

1954 Chevrolet Nomad Raview

Chevrolet Nomad was a station wagon produced by Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motors Corporation from 1955 to 1961. The Nomad is the best memory of a station wagon with two doors, and is often associated with the "surf culture" in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The Nomad is considered halo model Chevrolet during the production of three years as a station wagon with two doors.

1955-1957

The two-door Nomad differed from other station wagons of the day by having a unique style more reminiscent of a hardtop to a standard station wagon. Chevrolet shared this one with his sister, Pontiac, which marketed their version of the Pontiac Safari.

The Nomad's unique design has its roots in a car from General Motors Motorama show the same name, was based on the Corvette. GM approved production of the vehicle if the model could be transferred to their normal size models, because top GM brass felt that they could sell more models if it was related to the popular style of Bel Air.

Although considered a stage of vehicle design, General Motors discontinued the original Nomad at the end of 1957 the model to focus on its next new halo vehicles the Chevrolet Impala.

1958-1961

The 1958 model year, Chevrolet Nomad, the name applied to the traditional top-line wagon with four doors.

In 1959, Nomad was transferred to an expanded range of Impala, which had been replaced by the Bel Air Top-Line and Chevrolet. Chevrolet Nomad continue to be used as the end of 1961 model years, Chevrolet station wagon when all the parents gave the name of the model.

1964 to 1980,

Nomad back in 1964 and again in 1965 as a two-door Chevelle station wagon, and spent the rest of his life in 1960 with low Chevelle station wagon. In 1970 and early 1980 was also offered as the van G-Series full-size model.

1953 Chevrolet Corvette C1

Chevrolet Corvette C1 is a sports car produced from 1953 through the 1962nd This is the first generation of Chevrolet Corvettes built and marketed by Chevrolet.

Design

Although the style of a car can be important for certain how the car runs, automobile manufacturers did not start paying attention to car designs until the 1920s. It was not until 1927, when General Motors hired designer Harley Earl, that automotive styling and design became important to American automakers. What Henry Ford did for automobile principles, Harley Earl did for car design. Most GM flamboyant "dream car" designs of the 1950s are directly attributable to Earl, leading one journalist to comment that the designs were "the American psyche made visible." Harley Earl loved sports cars, and GIS returning after serving overseas World War II house MG, Jaguar, Alfa Romeo, etc.. Earl convinced GM that they needed to build a two-seat sports car. The result was the 1953 Corvette, unveiled to the public at this year's show Motorama car.

The original Corvette emblem incorporated an American flag design, which was abandoned due to a combination of the flag of a product is obsolete.

Taking its name from the corvette, a frigate small, maneuverable fighting (credit for the nomination goes to Myron Scott), the first Corvette virtually handmade in Flint, Michigan, Chevrolet Customer Delivery Center, became a building University Kettering University. The outer body is made of a revolutionary new composite material called fiberglass, selected in part because of steel quotas left by the war. In this new body components of standard radical Chevrolet, as the "Blue Flame" inline six-cylinder truck engine, two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission, drum brakes and the line of "auto Chevrolet. Although engine power be increased somewhat, thanks to a triple carburetor exclusive consumption of the Corvette, the car's performance was decidedly mediocre.

GM is seriously considering shelving the project, leaving the Corvette to be a little more than a footnote in automotive history, and would have done if not for two important events. The first was the introduction in 1955 the first Chevrolet V8 engine (a 265 in � {4.3} L) since 1919 and the second was the influence of a Soviet immigrant in GM's engineering department, Zora Arkus-Duntov . Arkus-Duntov simply took the new V8 and backed by a three-speed manual transmission. This modification, probably the greatest in automotive history, helped turn the Corvette from a two-seat curiosity into a real artist. He also earned Arkus-Duntov the rather inaccurate nickname "Father of the Corvette."

The first generation is generally regarded as a rigid axle, based on the fact that independent rear suspension (IRS) was not available before 1963.

Fuel Injection

The first generation began in 1953 and completed in 1962, and a significant addition to the optional fuel injection in 1957. This new system first saw regular use of a gasoline engine two years before the Mercedes-Benz 300SL Roadster "Gullwing". Although the Corvette GM-Rochester injection used a constant flow style fuel system, contrary to the diesel style nozzle measuring system is the Mercedes' six cylinders, the system nevertheless produced about 290HP. The number was reduced to an advertising agency for the Chevrolet 283HP/283 � (4.6 l) hp Fri � slogan, so it is' one of the first series engines in history to reach 1 hp / �. In 1962, GM Small Block 327 has been extended � (5.4 L) and increased to 360 hp (268 kW). Other early options included Power Windows (1956), Hydraulic Power Roof (1956), four-speed manual transmission (mid 1957), and heavy brake and suspension options (1957).


Compared with British sports cars and Italian of the day was low-power Corvette, has required a great effort and the way to end, and even missed a pass-through "good" manual. Until now, the Chevrolet division of GM brand entry level, known for excellent car, but without frills. Nowhere is that more evident than in the Corvette. A compressor Paxton became available in 1954 as a dealer-installed option which greatly improves the performance of the Corvette in a straight line, but sales continued to decline.
