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.

Which Chevy Trucks Have an Allison Transmission?
Updated: 3/5/2018
Chevrolet made headlines last year when it announced that it would equip its modern medium-duty and heavy-duty truck lineups with Allison transmissions. Just in case you missed the news, we’re here to catch you up.
You might be asking yourself, “What’s the big deal? What exactly are the benefits of an Allison transmission for my Chevy?” Continue reading to find out.
Popular Chevy Truck Models With an Allison Transmission
What is an Allison transmission, anyway?
For over a century, Allison transmissions have built a global reputation for being extremely durable. That’s why they’re cheaper to operate than comparable vehicles. The low minimum maintenance requirements result in cheaper overall maintenance costs.
They’re also stronger. The Allison 1000 six-speed transmission of today is the only transmission that can keep up with Chevrolet’s Duramax® Turbo-Diesel engine option. Using adaptive learning technology, Allison transmissions provide a comfortable driving experience and help you avoid any rough shifting experiences.
Now that you know a little bit about Allison transmissions let’s talk about the trucks.
The 2018 Chevy Silverado 2500HD
When you opt for the 445-horsepower Duramax® 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 engine option, you’ll benefit from a standard Allison 1000 transmission. When paired together, these two high-performing parts enable the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD to tow up to 18,100 pounds.
The 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500HD
The king of Chevy’s heavy-duty lineup can tow up to 23,000 pounds and generate 910 lb.-ft. of torque when it’s stocked with a Duramax® Turbo-Diesel engine. If you’ve made it this far, you can probably guess what that means: The Allison 1000 comes as part of the package on the 2018 Chevy Silverado 3500HD. This transmission adjusts shift clutch pressure to match engine torque and vehicle load to maximize durability and drivability.
With a powerhouse transmission to back up such robust engines, is it any wonder Chevrolet’s HD trucks have been named “Most Dependable Large Heavy Duty Pickup” by J.D. Power three years in a row?*

Want to get a feel for the hardest-working truck brand in the business? At Zimbrick Chevrolet, we carry a variety of Allison-equipped trucks in our inventory of new cars for sale — including the Chevy 2500HD and 3500HD.

Debating between purchasing a Chevy Cruze and a Ford Fusion? Or maybe you’re just interested in how the 2017 Chevy Cruze does in comparison to others cars in the midsize category. Continue reading to see why the Cruze is clearly the better choice.
Chevy Cruze L and LS versus the Fusion S
The fact of the matter is that not all of us have extra dough to spend on unnecessary features. The following are a couple reasons why you get more with the base model and LS versions of the Cruze.
Why pay more?
The base model of the Chevy Cruze is considerably cheaper than the base model of the Ford Focus. The Cruze L is the base model, which comes in a manual transmission. If you prefer an automatic transmission, the Cruze has an LS, which is still cheaper than the Fusion S. For details on New MSRP, check out Zimbrick Chevrolet.
Performance
Cruze longer
Get an EPA estimated fuel economy of 28 MPG in the city and 39 MPG on the highway. On the LS automatic, it’s 30 MPG in the city and 40 MPG on the highway. Compare that to the Fusion’s 21 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway.
Carry more
You get a bigger trunk volume with the Chevy Cruze. On both the L Manual and LS Automatic, the trunk volume is 22.7 cu.-ft. The Ford Fusion S has a trunk space of only 16 cu.-ft.
A Better Exterior
Easier parking
The overall length of the Chevy Cruze’s L Manual and LS Automatic are 183.70 in. This’ll make it easier to squeeze into street parking. You probably won’t get that as much with the lengthy 191.8 in. of the Ford Fusion.
Sportier appearance
Aerodynamic sculpting and dual projector headlamps make for a more dynamic styling on the Cruze. Dual projector headlamps light up the road for improved visibility during nighttime driving. The automatic on/off feature allows users to remotely turn the vehicle on or off when needed. This amenity comes standard on the L Manual and LS Automatic.
Choose from a hatch or sedan
For the first time, the Chevy Cruze has added a hatchback. The Cruze hatchback offers 47.2 cu.-ft. of cargo space when the second row is down. The Fusion simply doesn’t offer a hatchback version.
