Chevrolet currently has eight crossover/SUV models, not including EVs. While choice is always welcome, similarly sized models can create confusion about the right choice for you. For Chevrolet, this is evident at the small end of the crossover spectrum, where the Trax and Trailblazer seem to occupy the same subcompact category. This Barry’s Chevrolet post…
When it comes to vehicles the size of the Suburban, there aren’t many competitors, and the few that exist mostly come from inside the GM brand.

The last few years have been quite eventful for the midsize truck segment. Nissan’s Frontier previewed things with a redesign for 2022. A year later came the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon redesigns, and in 2024, the Ford Ranger and Toyota Tacoma had their turn. With all these recent new model designs, it kind of…
Barry’s Chevrolet Showroom features a range of pickups, but the Silverado 1500 ZR2 is a personal favorite for many. It is a versatile model that most owners will be driving on a daily basis, so the subject of MPG is of great interest to many. With the Duramax turbodiesel now the standard engine on this…
The 2024 Chevy Colorado has won MotorTrend’s Truck of the Year award for 2024, making this the third time the smaller Chevy truck has won the award.
