2018 Chevy Traverse: Not So Itty Bitty with Amenities to Spare

When it comes to picking out a new SUV, it’s a tough call when it comes to which is more important: space or efficiency. With busy schedules that revolve around work and family, it is important to have a vehicle that you can depend on to have the room you need for people and all the things that they come with. It is just as important to have a vehicle that won’t break the bank every time you pull up to the gas pump.

At Larry H. Miller Chevrolet of Murray, we think we have something that provides the best of both worlds, and it has come a few months early—the all-new 2018 Chevy Traverse. This midsize crossover SUV can provide you with many of the features you would expect from a full-size SUV with the capabilities you like in a midsize.

Oodles of Space for People and Stuff—If you’re looking for a vehicle that will move people, the Chevy Traverse is equipped to do just that. More and more we are seeing these third rows popping up in SUVs of this size. The Chevy Traverse provides a third row that even adults don’t mind sitting in. With more leg room, the place in the back is no longer the most dreaded spot. Plus, with the added features that makes it easy to get back there, it’s no longer a gymnastics routine to get in or out. 

For the weekend fixer-uppers, adventure seekers, or kids’ sports chauffeurs, when you are looking for a new SUV your first inclination is to look at how much space will be available to you and all the things you are planning to load and unload into the back of the vehicle.

With the third row of seats, many would scoff at the claim that there is ample space for stuff and people. But with that row in use you have a generous 23 cubic feet of space to back in cleats, balls, pads, sticks, groceries, and even pink tutus if needed.

Not planning on using the third row? Then your available space more than doubles to an abundant 58.1 cubic feet. That’s enough space to pack up for a weekend away, plus a little room for the dog and a friend or two. Did we mention the comfortable captain’s chairs in the second row? With these you’ll be the designated driver for any road trip.

Not planning on going anywhere any time soon because your list of at-home projects seems to be as long as autumn this year? Don’t worry, the Chevy Traverse can handle any weekend do-it-yourselfer and their weekly Home Depot binges. With the second-row seats folded down out of the way you have an available 98.5 cubic feet of storage. So yes, that sideboard that you saw at the shop earlier this week, it will fit perfectly in the back.

Technology Amenities—With so much space for people and stuff, plus the added comfort of the second and third row, it’s hard to believe there are more features that make driving the Traverse a pleasure. More and more vehicles are coming standard with various driver assist systems. From blind spot detection to a great back up camera, this crossover assists you on every front.

One thing that always becomes an issue with a new vehicle like the Traverse are the willing drivers who want to take a turn at the wheel, particularly of the teenage variety. Chevy has got your bases covered with the standard teen driver feature.

This relatively new feature made available in many new Chevy models not only activates the various safety and driver assist features available, but it also tracks the driving habits of your teenager. It will produce a kind of report card that will provide you with an idea of where your teen—or spouse—could use some improvement in their driving.

In any compact SUV, you would never think to find so much space and great added features. The Traverse has these and so much more. At Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray, we are anxious to show you all these, and help you get one to park in your driveway. Come down now to see what great deals we have available, and get the perfect SUV for any lifestyle.  

10 Necessities For You to Cruise in Style

Since we’re offering a complimentary cruise when you buy a 2017 Chevy Cruze this month, we thought we’d help you with your packing list by sharing 10 things we know you will need to make your cruise totally worth it.

1. Bathing Suits

It might seem a little excessive to take multiple bathing suits with you, but, let’s be honest, you’ll most likely wear a bathing suit every day. It’s always good to have a couple of options so you aren’t wearing the same sopping suit every day. Include appropriate cover-ups, hats, and sunglasses.

*NOTE: Most cruise lines also include a formal dinner on board so you will want to plan to take something nice to wear with you. Don’t forget to leave room for your dancing shoes!

2. Sunscreen and Bug Spray

Sunscreen is probably obvious, but make sure you take plenty of it with you. Don’t forget to also pack your bug spray. You night not think about it at first, but if you’re planning on getting off the boat anywhere tropical, you will surely come in contact with some of the local mosquitoes or other pesky insects.

3. Passport

If you’re planning a cruise, you better get your passport in order. It takes between four to six weeks to get your passport once you’ve submitted all your information. If you’re really in a hurry, you can choose to have the process expedited. However, this still takes between two and three weeks and requires you to pay an extra fee. You can learn about the complete process here.

4. Cash

For your own security, you might want to keep your credit cards locked away and just pay in cash. Never carry all your cash with you at once in case of pickpocketers. Keep a reserve stored securely in the safe in your cabin.  

5. Comfy Walking Shoes

You’re not going to want to stay on the ship when you port along your route. So, you’re going to need something better than just a pair of flip-flops when wandering the streets of your destination ports. Many of the streets will be uneven cobblestones which can be hard on your feet and back if you don’t have shoes that are good for walking. Teva and Chaco brand sandals are more and more popular, especially for cruising. They are also great for hiking.

6. Camera

Sometimes the best memories you will have are the ones that you will capture while you are enjoying your trip. Be sure you have a camera that will capture every moment. Many phones these days rival some of the best cameras, but we suggest using an alternative so you’re not always on your phone. You might even consider a GoPro®.

7. Power Strip

Think about all the things you will take with you. How many of those things will need to be charged? A phone, a camera, a tablet, laptop, digital reader, among other things—and that’s just for you. And how many outlets are usually found in your cabin? One, maybe two? Save some room for a power strip. This will triple—even quadruple—your ability to charge all your electronic accessories. Trust us. This is probably the best suggestion on this list.

8. Books and/or Magazines

You don’t want to be on your phone the entire time you’re enjoying the beauty of tropical paradise. Consider leaving your phone locked up in your cabin as much as possible. Make this the opportunity to finally read that book that you bought because it was number one on the New York Times Best Seller List. Dig out your old iPod and fill it with a couple of playlists that you can enjoy. Not a big novel reader? That’s okay! Stock up on your favorite magazines and get caught up on your pop culture while you tan on the deck.

9. Motion Sickness Remedy

There are a lot of different products on the market for combating motion sickness. Whether it’s pills or wrist bands you prefer, make sure you have them with you.

10. Travel Buddy

No trip is nearly as fun without someone to take it with. Make those memories count by bringing along the ones you love the most.

When you get home, you will be able to cruise every day in your own Cruze! Take advantage of this deal before it’s gone. Check out our website for more information or stop in for a test drive at Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray. We’d love to put you behind the wheel of a new car and set you up for the vacation of a lifetime!

2017 Chevy Silverado

If you’re looking for the best, there’s no need to go any further than the 2017 Chevy Silverado. Named Best in Class for Fuel Economy and Horsepower, this truck gives you the best features without leaving a huge dent in your wallet. Plus, with 4G LTE Wi-Fi capabilities provided by OnStar, all the comforts of home and office will go with you anywhere life takes you.

In any job that must be done, it is important to have the right equipment to do it correctly. The high-strength bed of the Silverado is meant to withstand the work that you put it through. Other pickups have aluminum beds that are more likely to be punctured or dented, but the Silverado will stand up to anything with ease with its roll-formed steel pickup box floor. With these features and more, durability is no question for this truck.

Have we mentioned the towing capability? With an available class-leading towing max of 12,500 lbs., there is almost nothing this truck can’t tug along behind it.

Have we checked off all your boxes? Well, let’s move inside for some of the unexpected features available with the Silverado. Every inch of the interior is designed with three things in mind: space, comfort, and convenience. From the triple-seal inlaid doors to block out street sounds, to the convenience steering wheel controls that allow you to manipulate your phone and radio, you never have to worry about distracted driving. You are always connected with Chevrolet MyLink and wireless charging.

Have a less-than-responsible teen driver who might like to use the truck for weekends? Chevy has thought of that as well. With features that include audio mute until front seat occupants are buckled and automatically tuning safety features, you never have to worry that your teens aren’t safe in the driver’s seat.

It’s no wonder that the Chevy Silverado is touted as one of the most dependable vehicles in its class. And you too can drive the most dependable truck on the road by coming into Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray and test driving one for yourself.
