The Lineup: Why Your Chevy is Perfect For Tailgating
After a long summer, football season is finally back in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.
While you may not be playing in the big game, there’s still one surefire way to soak up all the fun: tailgating. At Zimbrick Chevrolet, we understand that football and tailgating festivities go hand in hand, so you want to make sure that you don’t miss out on all the action — on the field and off. To fully enjoy the experience, you need a vehicle that helps you take in all the grilling, chilling, and games before the game.
Here are five reasons a new Chevy is right for the job:
There’s a lot to love about the Chevy Cruze. With the charmingly bold inside-out design to complement its outstanding capability, this crafty compact car holds its own against all-comers. And the Ford Focus is no exception.
With a much lower MSRP, the Cruze gives the Fusion a run for its money — literally. But how does it stack up to its Ford counterpart in other categories?
Read on to find out.
A Test of the Best: 2017 Chevy Cruze vs. 2017 Ford Focus
Which Model is Designed to Dominate?
While the 2017 Ford Focus isn’t hard to look at, it’s not much more than meets the eye, either.
The 2017 Chevy Cruze, however, packs big personality into its compact frame. A sporty grille rounds off the Cruze’s aerodynamic curves. And with a solar-absorbing glass window, the Cruze looks like it was chiseled for performance.
But that’s only the outside.
Offering 47.2 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded down, the Cruze Hatchback easily surpasses the 16 cubic feet of the Ford Focus – and it’s not even close.
Which Model is Primed to Perform?
The 2017 Focus generates some impressive horsepower, but with only 32 mpg of highway fuel economy on its non-hybrid trims, it’s all bark and no bite.
On the other hand, the 2017 Cruze can nearly reach that in the city. Boasting a standard 1.4L turbo engine that’s capable of achieving an outstanding 40 mpg of fuel efficiency on the highway, it’s not hard to see why the new-and-improved Cruze is Motor Trend’s second-best compact sedan.
You do the math.
Which Model is a Safe Bet?
The 2017 Ford Fusion comes with seven airbags. That’s pretty good.
But the Cruze was the first car in its class to have ten standard airbags.
The peace of mind doesn’t end there, though. With a full suite of safety technology, such as the rear view camera, Stabilitrack® traction control, and an available Driver Confidence Package, the Cruze provides security that the Focus just can’t match.
Cruise Ahead of the Field in Sun Prairie, WI
It’s plain to see how the 2017 Chevy Cruze edges out the 2017 Ford Focus. And because we’re in the business of winning here at Zimbrick Chevrolet, we want to set you up with a model that has as much drive as you. Schedule a test drive or stop by today to get started.
Even before the roaring ‘20’s, GM has been cranking out Chevy trucks that have been driving families, workers, and communities closer together.

Chevy leads the modern auto pack with integrated technology and best-in-class fuel economy.

Customizable Torque and Engines

Power as the “Most Dependable Large Heavy Duty Pickup for three years in a row.”

There is no denying it: trucks can be very expensive vehicles. Their size, power, capabilities, and packages can lead to some serious sticker prices. This is why, a high-quality, reliable, used pickup is a great value for a lot of drivers.
If you’re looking for a used truck in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, your best bet is a used Chevy pickup from Zimbrick Chevrolet.
Why Should I Get a Used Chevy Silverado 1500, 2500 HD, 3500 HD, or Colorado from Zimbrick Chevrolet?
Chevrolet Brand Quality
You probably already know about Chevy’s reputation for making tough, sturdy, and reliable trucks that can stand the test of time. Chevy pickups offer impressive power, like the used 2016 Silverado 1500, which offers best-in-class towing capabilities of 12,000 pounds. They also come with features that pull them ahead of the competition, like steel constructed beds and Chevy MyLink on newer models.
Chevy pickups also offer incredible range. From the mid-size Colorado to the heavy-duty Silverado 2500, there is something with the power to do what you need. Each model also comes with a variety of trims, which let you customize your truck for whatever you want to use it.
Pricing
As we’ve mentioned, a good pickup isn’t cheap. However, buying used can bring down the price a considerable amount. Since most vehicles have the biggest initial drop in value after the first year, it is easy to get a better truck for less, when you buy used. You can also save on insurance, and experience less depreciation, leading to even better overall savings.
Reliability
Modern vehicles are far more reliable than those of the past. The average vehicle lifespan is currently at 11.1 years, and seems to be increasing, giving drivers greater confidence in used cars.
You can count on a used Chevrolet even more than most brands. Chevy is frequently ranked as one of the most reliable US brands, thanks to their sturdy construction. This is especially true of their tough-built pickups.
Drivers also have a variety of tools they can use now to determine the quality of used vehicles. Now you can check the Carfax report for a used truck to see a report of previous owners, damages, and repairs.
Where to Get a Used Chevy Truck
When you’re buying used you want to make sure you shop at a dealership you can trust. Zimbrick Chevrolet in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, has the best selection of pre-owned trucks, like the used Chevy Silverado, for sale on our lot.
