July 11, 2017 What Potential Buyers of Diesel Trucks Can Expect from the Powerful Chevrolet Duramax When looking at trucks, you must decide between diesel and petroleum engines.

Enhanced Power and Torque When driving with a Chevrolet Duramax engine, you need not consternate over your payload as with other powertrains. Some Duramax models produce an impressive 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque. If you plan on using this truck for work-related purposes, such as hauling trailers and other vehicles without a hassle, the Duramax is guaranteed to deliver. Some V8 models of the Duramax feature a towing capacity of 18,100 pounds and give you instant access to towing mode. Once activated, you gain direct forward motion with minimal wheel slippage, thus performing tough jobs that warrant much control. The Duramax makes entering corners an easy task, even when hauling other vehicles. The reimagined hood, which comes standard on most diesel models, features functional vents that enable more confident hauling and also improve the truck’s aerodynamics. You even acquire access to a digital steering assist mode, which uses electronic controls to enhance stability and adherence to road dynamics. The patented, unique induction system uses two air inlets that help satisfy the engine's intake needs. As a result, debris and water pose no problem when you find yourself in extreme environments. Enhanced Technology Since you’re working with so much power, you need advanced technology to control it to your liking. The Chevrolet Duramax comes equipped with Trailer Sway Control, an innovative system that detects when your trailer sways and applies the brakes automatically. You never have to worry about losing control on busy roads like highways. An available Diesel Exhaust Brake System helps reduce the amount of conventional braking needed when traveling downhill or towing. As a result, your brakes retain their integrity for years. Page | 2
Traveling with a large trailer can be scary at first, mainly because some of your vision is hindered. Luckily, Chevrolet installs a trailering camera system to remove any blind spots. It also comes in handy when backing up. If you get too close, alarms sound to avoid a potential collision. Plenty of Chevrolet dealer accessories exist to add onto the acquisition of your new Duramax. A fifth-wheel trailer hitch, for example, may be just what you’re looking for when taking long trips with the family. This specialty hitch ensures a fast and stress-free experience every time. Power and reliability are both up for grabs when you drive diesel trucks like the Chevrolet Duramax. Tough tasks that warrant precision and security can be performed without a hitch, other than attaching trailer to rig.
