2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 HD

Many customers have asked us just what it is like to kick back on a long haul with the 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500 High Country here at Jim Butler Chevy of St Louis! Even though so many various eco-friendly movements have shined a bright light on smaller and more efficient cars as of late, there’s something to be said for cruising in a vessel that can provide enough comfort to render the longer journeys in life.
This truck is so impeccably good at taking on the role of a road warrior that it effortlessly shames the competition! Many models out there that can claim payload and towing capacities of this grade begin to cross the line into the territory reserved for burly semi-tractors, known as the “slinky types” and a bit prone to wobbling. The Motor Trend auto review crew enthusiastically claimed that the Silverado has a way of remaining wonderfully placid over the road, and [...]

2024 Silverado 2500 HD ZR2

The Motor Trend blogging team had remarked over this past week that “Gone are the days of heavy-duty trucks sporting a graphics package and skid plate to make up an off-road trim.” These were once thought of as pure workhorses but have now fully undergone the transformation to massive recreation-ready machines. They can tackle tough trails and haul extra-large loads and can surprisingly be even more capable than many half-ton close relatives.


This expert blogging staff recently rounded up a 2023 Ford-F250 Super Duty Tremor, Chevy Silverado 2500HD ZR2, and a 2023 Ram Rebel HD to run the diesel-powered trio through a strict regimen of highway driving, towing, hauling, and off-road challenges. The Chevy Silverado HD ZR2 arrives for the 2024 model year, with the giant gravitational pull of segment leading Multimatic DSSV Dampers. The suspension also arrives at the table primed and ready for challenges with a 1.5-inch lift, along with unique front control [...]
