Chevy recently announced their plans to expand their diesel lineup with the addition of a new medium-duty commercial truck and it will be powered by the Duramax diesel engine that is currently used on trucks made by one of GM’s other brands, GMC.

Chevrolet expects the new trucks to be a 2018 model year vehicle and they will be equipped with GM’s legendary duo of the Duramax engine paired to an Allison transmission. Why legendary? The engine and transmission combination has been around since the early 2000s and GM just celebrated the production of the two millionth truck equipped with that powertrain.

Chevy has still kept many of the details about the new medium-duty trucks underwraps and they are expected to release more information closer to the truck’s release date, slated for 2018.

Though it may still be a year until the truck is released, Chevrolet has a number of other diesel truck options. Check out some of the highlights.

  • The 2017 Silverado HD with the Duramax 6.6-liter V8 turbodiesel engine. This truck has class leading torque and horsepower (910 lb-ft of torque and 445 horsepower).

Tax season is here, and in the spirit of tax season, we would like to clarify a commonly misunderstood tax credit myth within the automotive industry. You have probably heard that some PHEVs and electric vehicles (EVs) are eligible for a tax credit, but do you know what that means?

Many people think a tax deduction is the same thing are the as a tax credit, but unfortunately that is not the case. A tax credit is a credit the government may grant tax payers for various things, like the purchase of an EV or PHEV, but taxpayers only benefit from the tax credit if they owe taxes for that tax year. Although it is not money in your pocket, that tax credit can still be very beneficial if you typically owe the government each year. Read the rest of this entry >>
