This 1986 Chevrolet Suburban with the Silverado package has an equalizing trailer hitch and extra-heavy suspension for towing a heavy trailer.  


The vehicle is in good running condition and has near-new tires.  It was overhauled by the local dealership last year, and has no serious mechanical problems.  The hauling capabilities of this machine are awesome!  We've used it to move everything from huge loaded haywagons to a very heavy 26 foot vintage travel trailer - with the cargo area loaded, 6 people on board, and a canoe strapped to the roof - with excellent results.  The non-slip differential makes it great for muddy/snowy conditions.

As one should expect on a vehicle of this age, there is some deterioration and minor niggling faults; but nothing that really restricts the usefulness of the vehicle.  There is some hesitation and tendency to stall, reflecting the need for carb work - something the dealer (who obviously only uses Chevy-supplied parts) couldn't address.  There has been some body work on the lower fenders/rocker panels, needed to pass PA inspection.  The finish on the roof is peeling, and shows some surface rust through the primer we used last season.  The driver's seat back has worn thin, there's a couple of tears in the headliner,  and the passenger door lock sometimes has to be opened manually.

Routine gas mileage isn't as bad as one might expect; 12 mpg seems to be about the norm.  It's got a big gas tank, which does negate the need for frequent refilling.  The engine performs far cleaner - and better - if one uses a higher grade in the tank.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.

Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty

Tue, 05 Mar 2013

We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.
