You can check them out at our Chevy dealership, and this guide can help you decide which one to take for a test drive. more Cabin Styles Both the Silverado 1500 and the Silverado EV are full-size trucks, but the former brings more versatility with a wide range of cabin options.

The Silverado EV is offered exclusively in a luxe crew cab variant. Bed Options The Silverado 1500 also gives you a choice between various bed sizes. The standard bed has a length of 79.44 inches and a cargo volume of 71.70 cubic feet. A long bed with a volume of 89.10 cubic feet provides plenty of room for bulky cargo, while a short bed with a volume of 62.90 cubic feet and 69.92 inches in length turns this truck into a perfect off-roading companion.

For bulkier items, you can also customize this truck with a MultiFlex midgate that provides an extra foot of bed length, which means you can transport items up to 10'10" long. Performance The Silverado 1500 comes standard with a 310-horsepower TurboMax engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Two other gas engines and a turbo-diesel engine make it easy to customize this truck for heavier work or play. Four-wheel drive is also available across the lineup and standard on select trim levels. The Silverado EV comes in standard four-wheel drive, a layout paired with a 645-horsepower propulsion system in the standard configuration. An available Max Range battery produces up to 760 horsepower and 785 pound-feet of torque, which is more than enough for high-speed driving on and off the road. Towing Capacity Both trucks are designed for heavy towing, so you can confidently pull a wide range of trailers. The Silverado 1500 has a standard towing capacity between 9,000 and 9,500 pounds, depending on the cab and bed configuration. Max towing capacity comes from the turbo-diesel engine, which can pull up to 13,300 pounds in the double cab, standard bed, or crew cab with a rear-wheel drivetrain. The Silverado EV's standard configuration provides a maximum towing capacity of 12,500 pounds, while the other available setups can tow 10,000 and 10,500 pounds, respectively.

The GMC you knew, the one that's been building tough, capable trucks for decades, didn't leave any of that grit when it went electric. Far from it. All that hard-earned know-how got carried over, just reimagined for the EV age. So, what does that look like in the 2025 GMC Sierra EV? Let's break it down. more 1. Max-Range Battery Just enough range? That's not what you're after. You want the freedom to go further, do more, and worry less about finding the next charge. With the Sierra EV's max range battery, you're looking at up to 460 miles on a single charge. For some perspective, the Ford F-150 Lighting caps out at 320 miles, the Rivian R1T hits 420 miles, and the Cybertruck Long Range manages around 350 miles. 2. Easy Charging You're never far away from a quick top-up with the Sierra EV. Charge it overnight at home, and wake ready to move. If you're running low during the day, just plug it in at work (or anywhere) using your portable EV charging cord. Thanks to fast charging capability, this truck can juice up at rates up to 350 kW. In real-world terms, you can add nearly 100 miles of range in just 10 minutes. And to skip the headaches of public charging, e.g., long waits and non-functioning chargers, the myGMC app helps you see nearby chargers, shows you which ones are actually available, and even lets you plan your routes with charging stops baked in. 3. Four-Wheel Steering Four-wheel steering boosts maneuverability by syncing your front and rear wheels in specific ways. The 2025 Sierra EV allows you to operate this feature in three modes: Automatic (default), CrabWalk, and Off. In Automatic Mode at low speeds, the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction to the front wheels, drastically reducing the turning radius. At high speeds, the rear wheels steer in the same direction as the front wheels, which increases stability and handling during lane changes. CrabWalk, on the other hand, lets the truck move diagonally at low speeds, making it perfect for tricky off-road trails or tight worksite maneuvers. And when you don't need the extra assistance, you can switch it off entirely. 4. MultiPro Midgate How do you turn a short-bed pickup into a long-bed pickup? If you've got anything other than a GMC, that probably means trading it in or getting creative with bungee cords. But the Sierra EV has a smarter solution. Fold the rear seats, remove the rear glass, and drop the Midgate to extend your bed into the cab. Pair it with the load stop, and now you've got up to 10 feet 10 inches of usable length.

See why drivers adore the Malibu before you contact your Chevy dealer. more 1. Fuel Saving Performance A mid-size model like the Malibu is a great choice if you want to save money at the pump. This model is equipped with a lightweight 1.5-liter turbocharged motor, which is designed to increase air intake so more air is mixed with fuel for greater efficiency.

In terms of fuel efficiency, the Malibu has a combined fuel economy of 31 MPG. In the city, this mid-size sedan gets 28 MPG, while on the interstate, the full economy is estimated at 36 MPG. This model has a 15.8-gallon fuel tank capacity, so the combined total driving range is around 489 miles. 2. Flexible Family Seating The Malibu can keep up with your growing family thanks to flexible seat features, such as the 60/40 split-folding rear seat. This folding seat feature allows drivers to fold down one or both sides of the back bench seat to make room for large cargo. This model also has a LATCH system compatible with child car seats, so you can quickly install or uninstall everything from baby carriers to booster seats. 3. Tons of Upgrades You can customize the Malibu, either by custom ordering through Chevy's online shop or by placing an order at your local dealership. The popular Floor Liner Package replaces all the standard floor liners with all-weather mats and adds a cargo mat to the trunk to protect it from wear and tear. For the highest trim, the Driver Confidence and Cruise Package, upgrades safety technology with Automatic Parking Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Enhanced Automatic Emergency Braking. Drivers can also upgrade to individual features, such as a dual-pane power sunroof available for the upper trims. The base Malibu can be customized with a rear spoiler, front license plate bracket, and a keyless entry keypad. The keypad allows drivers to set a five-digit passkey to unlock the vehicle doors without a physical key or key fob.

If you are shopping for an EV with the latest electric features, there is no better place to look than at your local Chevy dealership. The 2025 Chevy electric lineup offers groundbreaking performance, bidirectional charging, semi-autonomous driving, and several other innovations. more Groundbreaking Performance and Range Every new generation of Chevy EVs sets a new standard for performance and electric range. The latest lineup offers the 2025 Blazer EV SS, which features a performance dual-motor AWD system that zaps 615 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. The midsize SUV comes with an innovative electric launch control system, Wide Open Watts, and is capable of hitting 60 mph in a lightning-fast 3.4 seconds. The 2025 electric lineup's best driving range is offered in the Chevy Silverado EV, which is among the only all-electric pickup trucks capable of completing a long haul without charging stops. With the Max Range battery fully charged, the Silverado EV drives an impressive 460 miles. Bidirectional Charging Nearly all modern electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles can be charged at home, but Chevy EVs are among the few that can send power back to your home in an emergency. If the grid goes down, models like the Blazer EV can provide uninterrupted power to your home for several days via a GM Energy PowerShift charger. Regen on Demand To maximize your driving range, all 2025 Chevy EVs are equipped with the innovative Regen on Demand feature. It slows down the vehicle using regenerative brakes and recaptures kinetic energy, which is then converted into electricity and used to recharge the battery. Drivers can engage Regen on Demand to bleed speed by simply holding a steering-wheel-mounted paddle. One Pedal Driving Another range-conserving feature that also simplifies vehicle operation is One Pedal Driving. It comes standard on the Chevy Equinox EV, Blazer EV, and Silverado EV, allowing drivers to control acceleration and deceleration with just the accelerator pedal. Easing off the pedal automatically applies the regenerative brakes to slow down the vehicle. Energy recaptured through One Pedal Driving is repurposed for other vehicle operations. Super Cruise All 2025 Chevy EV models feature GM's innovative semi-autonomous driving technology, Super Cruise. Once engaged, the system handles most of the driving on compatible highways, letting drivers take their hands off the wheel and simply monitor the road ahead. Super Cruise uses cameras, sensors, and GPS data to monitor surrounding traffic and keep your Chevy EV centered in the lane at a safe distance from other vehicles. When you are ready, come visit us at Atwater Chevrolet GMC in Aitkin, MN to explore the 2025 Chevy electric lineup and discover more innovative features.

Without differentials, the wheels of your car wouldn't be able to corner smoothly and safely without losing traction. These two small gearboxes, sitting at the center of each wheel axle, allow the wheels to rotate at differing speeds each time you steer. While extremely durable, differentials occasionally require professional attention. The following warning signs indicate that you should visit your local Chevy dealership for differential service without delay. more Rough Vibrations If your differentials are worn or low on fluid, they may struggle to keep up with wheel rotations when you accelerate. This causes excessive vibrations and road noise at higher speeds. Humming or Howling Worn-out gears or bearings inside a differential may start emitting humming or howling noises when they come under strain. You're likely to hear these strange sounds when you accelerate or navigate a corner. Trouble Steering If one of your differentials is having serious trouble, it will prevent the wheels from turning at optimal speeds when you corner. This makes it harder to steer precisely and puts you at risk on the road. Worsening Traction As the primary function of differentials is to prevent the wheels from slipping as you turn, a bad differential might cause your tires to momentarily lose traction. If this occurs, pull over immediately and don't drive until the problem is resolved. Damaged Tires As an aging or faulty differential gradually worsens, the tires come under excessive pressure. During your regular tire inspections, you may notice uneven wear patterns or excessively worn-down treads. Leaking Fluid As small gearbox systems, differentials require fluid for lubrication and to protect the internal parts from heat and corrosion. If this fluid ever leaks, the sooner you notice and fix it, the better. Differential fluid is typically a reddish hue; with a leak, you may notice a liquid like this pooling under one of your wheel axles. Overheating Differentials When an aging differential can't handle the strain, it may overheat. This creates a burning smell, and you might also hear grinding and howling sounds. Overloading a car with too heavy a trailer can sometimes cause even healthy differentials to overheat. Schedule Differential Service at Your Chevy Dealership Most vehicles require the differential fluid to be flushed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, which is two to four years for most drivers. It's a good idea to have your differentials professionally examined once a year or more. Our technicians can check the condition of the differential fluid and gears, adding fluid or carrying out repairs if necessary. Visit Atwater Chevrolet GMC in Aitkin, MN, today to have your differentials maintained and repaired. Our courteous, highly experienced staff prioritize customer care in all that we do.
