As we start to wind down and close out 2025, the 2026 models of popular vehicles have steadily been rolling out. One Chevy SUV in particular has gotten quite a bit of attention for the next update: the 2026 Chevy Equinox. The 2025 Chevy Equinox saw a sweeping redesign, but what does the new 2026 version have to offer? Let’s look at the 2026 Equinox SUV updates to see what exciting features are going to be available moving forward. If you’ve been looking for a new SUV near Savanna, read on to find out if the 2026 Equinox is the right choice. more 2026 Chevy Equinox: Exterior The 2025 Equinox saw an overhaul in terms of design as the first year of the vehicle’s fourth generation. The 2026 model carries over most of those updates with minimal changes, though what has changed is exciting. The overall size of the 2026 model is slightly larger than the 2025 model, but only as far as the exterior is concerned; the interior dimensions remain the same. The grille and fascia have been updated to be wider and a bit sportier to live up to the SUV moniker. The headlights have also slimmed down a bit, with thinner LEDs taking their place. Roof rails have been removed from 2025’s Convenience package and placed in the Midnight Edition package. Lastly, the big change for the 2026 Chevy Equinox exterior is the new Polar White Tricoat finish, which replaces 2025’s Iridescnt Pearl Tricoat. 2026 Chevy Equinox: Interior The 2026 Chevy Equinox doesn’t differ too much from the 2025 model inside the cabin, though the materials are a little softer to the touch to impart a sense of luxury. The physical drive mode selector, which was only on the ACTIV and RS trims for 2025, is now standard on all trims for the 2026 version. Chevy also tweaked the design of the vehicle to make the cabin a little quieter compared to the 2025 model. It still can seat up to five passengers comfortably with 104.3 cubic feet of passenger volume; max cargo clocks in at 63.5 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down. New Equinox Safety and Tech The 2026 Chevy Equinox keeps the standard 11.3” infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity standard across all trims. Wireless charging pads and a premium audio system are available features for those who want the extra comforts. Safety features remain largely unchanged, though the 2026 model adds in intersection auto emergency braking and lane centering to the standard suite instead of being available upgrades. 2026 Equinox Trims and Specs The 2025 and 2026 Chevy Equinox models feature the same engine and drivetrains: a 1.5L, turbo four-cylinder worth 175 horsepower and your choice of front-wheel drive (standard) or all-wheel drive (available). FWD gets a continuously variable transmission; AWD gets an eight-speed auto transmission. The 2026 Chevy Equinox trims remain the same as the 2025 version as well: 2026 Chevy Equinox LT: $28,700 2026 Chevy Equinox RS: $33,600 2026 Chevy Equinox ACTIV: $33,600 There’s also the 2026 Chevy Equinox EV, but we review that model separately.

One of the main benefits of owning a pickup truck is that it allows you to tow far more weight than other types of vehicles, and the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has some of the best towing capacity in the game. It also has a ton of available towing tech that makes pulling campers, boats, and other things easier than ever. Read on to discover why the Silverado is the best choice for shoppers looking for the perfect machine for work and play in Savanna, IL. more 2026 Chevy Silverado Towing Capacity at a Glance The Silverado 1500’s max trailering numbers will depend largely on which powertrain it’s equipped with. There are four available engines, as well as a choice between rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. Here are the maximum trailering specs for each available engine and drivetrain combo: TurboMax™ 2.7-liter: 9,500 lbs. (RWD), 9,300 lbs. (4WD) EcoTec3 5.3-liter V8: 11,300 lbs. (RWD), 11,100 lbs. (4WD) EcoTec3 6.2-liter V8: 13,200 lbs. (4WD only) Duramax™ 3.0-liter Turbo Diesel: 13,300 lbs. (2WD), 13,000 lbs. (4WD) The max towing capacity for the 2026 Silverado 1500 is 13,300 pounds, and requires the powerful Duramax™ Turbo Diesel engine, which cranks out an impressive 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque. When properly equipped, the 6.2-liter V8 gas engine can also tow over 13,000 pounds, making the Silverado one of the only full-size pickup trucks with two separate engines that can achieve these numbers. Shoppers may notice that, generally speaking, trucks with rear-wheel drive have a slightly higher average towing capacity than those with 4WD. To put it simply, this is because 4WD trucks tend to have a higher curb weight (in layman’s terms, that means they’re heavier). There are a few other important factors that also affect towing capacity, including the cab size, bed length, and axle ratio. If all of this sounds overwhelming, fret not—just contact our Chevy dealership in Savanna, IL, and our towing experts will steer you in the right direction. How to Determine Chevy Silverado Towing Capacity It’s important to note that the figures we mentioned above are max trailering ratings, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll always be able to safely tow quite that much. There are a few ways to calculate your Silverado’s exact towing capacity. The first method is to check either the owner’s manual or the trailering info sticker, which you can find on the doorjamb on the driver’s side. You’ll find a few different terms on here, including GVWR, GCWR, and curb weight. With this info, you can work out the max towing capacity like this: Take the truck’s listed curb weight Add the weight of any passengers and cargo, as well as the weight of the fuel in the tank Subtract that number from the truck’s GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) This number will be the truck’s true max trailering capacity Of course, some folks don’t feel like doing a bunch of math every time they want to haul their camper. That’s why Chevy includes a Load Calculator in the myChevrolet app, which can be accessed from your mobile device. Available Towing Technology for the Silverado 1500 In addition to the myChevrolet Load Calculator, Chevy offers a ton of additional trailering tech to help you tow safely and efficiently. Here are a few key features. In-Vehicle Trailering App When equipped with the Advanced Trailering Package, the Silverado comes with the in-vehicle trailering app, which provides tons of available towing-specific information, like: Up to 5 customizable trailer profiles Tow/Haul Mode Reminder Pre-Departure Checklist Trailer Maintenance Reminders Trailer Tire Pressure Monitoring Trailer Light Test Trailer Theft Detection And more Using this intuitive app, you can tow with the utmost confidence and ensure that every trip goes smoothly. Trailering Camera Technologies In addition to the available trailering app, the Silverado can be kitted out with up to eight external cameras, including: 1 Front Grille Camera 2 Side Mirror Cameras 1 Bew View Camera 1 Rear Camera Mirror 1 Rear View Camera 2 Accessory Cameras (for trailer use) Utilizing these cameras and their associated tech features, the Silverado 1500 is capable of providing up to 14 camera views: Rear Camera Mirror Front Camera View Rear Camera View HD Surround View Front Top-Down View Rear Top-Down View Front Side View Rear Side View Pic-in-Pic Side View Hitch View Bed View Rear Trailer View Inside Trailer View Transparent Trailer View Find the Chevy Silverado for Sale in Savanna, IL At Ed Morse Chevrolet Savanna, we have an excellent selection of new Chevy Silverado 1500 models for sale, and with our Backed by Morse price protection, you can shop knowing you’re getting one of the best prices around.

Corvettes are instantly recognizable vehicles and have a long legacy as American-made supercars. Since 1953, they’ve pushed the boundaries of performance, design, and aerodynamics to those who value power, speed, and style above all. With 2026 quickly approaching, that means it’s time to look at the newest Corvette that’s about to join a storied lineup and history: the 2026 Chevy Corvette Zora, aka, the 2026 Chevy Corvette ZR1X. more Now, “Zora” is only a codename for the new model that’s coming out. But the first looks are so promising, it almost doesn’t matter what they call it. Put bluntly, it has a beastly engine that will make certain Italian supercars blush, and it will look quite at home whether it’s parked in your driveway or tearing up the racetrack. But, without further ado, let’s look at what we know so far about the Chevy Corvette Zora price and specs, and what we can expect to see from this next-gen vehicle. 2026 Chevy Corvette Zora Specs The Chevy Corvette Zora, or ZR1X, packs an almost unbelievable amount of power. It features the LT7 5.5L, V-8 engine (found in the Chevy Corvette ZR1), worth an already impressive 1,064 horsepower, that drives the rear axle. To up the ante, Chevy then paired a 186-horsepower electric motor, tied to the front axle, to bring the total horsepower to a jaw-dropping 1,250. That’s right, the Chevy Corvette Zora is a hybrid and delivers exciting results. Since there are two motors powering the axles, the Zora is all-wheel drive standard, which only increases its handling, and let’s be honest, fun. For 0-60 time, you won’t be disappointed. Quite the opposite, really. Chevy is reportedly saying that the Zora will hit 0-60 in under two seconds and can clear a quarter mile in under nine seconds. The Zora’s Chief Engineer, Josh Holder, says that the ZR1X was inspired by and improves upon the combination of the Corvette ZR1 and the Corvette E-Ray. We wholeheartedly agree. For drivers who want to make a quiet getaway in the morning without waking the neighbors, Stealth Mode runs purely on the electric motor. You’ll make it about four miles with top speeds of 45 mph when it’s activated. 2026 Chevy Corvette Concept Overview Every inch of the Corvette ZR1X is designed to support and enhance performance. Whether you choose the hard-top coupe or the convertible, aerodynamics and thermal management are at the forefront of the Zora’s concept and design. Many components of the Zora are built from carbon fiber for a lightweight body that’s still plenty durable. There’s the ZR1X Carbon Fiber Aero package that adds a spoiler, underbody strakes, and more to add 1,200 lbs. of downforce. The Zora also comes standard with enhanced side air inlets and a flow-through hood to cool the vehicle as you go. 2026 Chevy Corvette Zora Technology 2026 Corvette ZR1X Interior Santorini Blue For starters, the Zora comes with a 12.7” infotainment system, a 14” digital gauge cluster, and an additional 6.6” touchscreen that handles the head-up display and Performance Traction Management settings. The Zora also features regenerative braking to recapture some energy to charge the electric motor. Other tech features include: A wireless phone charger An HD rear camera and rear camera mirror A standard Bose 10-speaker sound system An available Bose 14-speaker sound system A performance data recorder An available heated steering wheel Available front and rear HD cameras Available heated and ventilated Napa leather seating And more.

Have you been searching for a new 3-row SUV to head off-road or to fit your growing family? The 2025 Chevy Tahoe and 2025 Chevy Suburban are two top-tier large, 3-row SUVs with plenty of power, amenities, and features that make every drive more comfortable, and you’ve likely run across them in your research. While they look similar, there are some key differences between these two powerhouses that should be noted, and that’s just what this model comparison guide will do. Read on to find out if the Chevy Tahoe or Chevy Suburban is the best SUV for your next vehicle. more 2025 Chevy Tahoe vs. 2025 Chevy Suburban: Power and Performance Both the 2025 Chevy Tahoe engine setup and the 2025 Chevy Suburban engine setup can come in one of three options: A 5.3L V-8 with 355 horsepower A 6.2L V-8 with 420 horsepower A Turbo-Diesel 3.0L I-6 with 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque. These three engine options are available for both the Tahoe and the Suburban. Most of the trims for both vehicles come standard with the 5.3L; the 6.2L, and the diesel 3.0L engines are available as options. Rear-wheel drive is the usual drivetrain on both vehicles, with four-wheel drive as an option, though some of the upper-level trims come with four-wheel drive standard. if you plan on doing any traveling off-road, we recommend 4WD for the power distribution to the wheels for better, tighter handling. 2025 Chevy Tahoe vs. 2025 Chevy Suburban: MPG 2025 Chevy Tahoe MPG 5.3L engine: 15 city / 20 highway 6.2L engine: 14 city / 20 highway Diesel 3.0L engine: 21 city / 28 highway 2025 Chevy Suburban MPG 5.3L engine: 15 city / 20 highway 6.2L engine: 14 city / 19 highway Diesel 3.0L engine: 21 city / 27 highway While both are pretty much neck-and-neck in real-world scenarios, the Tahoe is rated for slightly better fuel economy on average. It’s not surprising to see the Suburban getting slightly less MPG than the Tahoe, which we’ll get into in the next section, and things will make more sense. 2025 Chevy Tahoe vs. 2025 Chevy Suburban: Seating and Size Put simply, the 2025 Chevy Suburban is a larger, longer version of the 2025 Chevy Tahoe, and this is the main difference between the two. Both vehicles can accommodate up to eight passengers, though those in the back row of the Suburban will have a little more space. Due to its larger size, the Suburban gets slightly fewer miles per gallon compared to the Tahoe. The 2025 Chevy Tahoe cargo space clocks in at a max of 122.7 cubic feet; the 2025 Chevy Tahoe max cargo is 144.7 cubic feet. 2025 Chevy Tahoe vs. 2025 Chevy Suburban: Interior and Tech The entry-level trims of the Chevy Tahoe and Chevy Suburban come standard with cloth seats. Mid-level trims have available leather seating, while the high-end trims come standard with perforated leather seats that are also heated and ventilated. Whether you choose the Tahoe or the Suburban, you’re going to have a spacious, comfortable ride. When it comes to tech, both the Tahoe and Suburban make it easy to stay connected. USB ports throughout the cabin, available Wi-Fi hotspots, a standard wireless charging setup, and available head-up displays are just a few of the features you’ll find within the cabins. Both vehicles also feature a massive 17.7” infotainment system with Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, and Google built-in compatibility, which are standard across all trims. 2025 Chevy Tahoe vs. 2025 Chevy Suburban: Safety Both the Chevy Tahoe and the Chevy Suburban feature a robust suite of safety and driver assistance features to protect you on every ride. Safety features on both vehicles include: Forward collision warning Enhanced auto parking assist Rear camera washer Electronic stability control Rear cross-traffic braking Hill start assist HD surround vision Available Super Cruise technology 2025 Chevy Tahoe vs. 2025 Chevy Suburban: Price As you might expect, the Chevy Suburban starts at a slightly higher price than the Chevy Tahoe due to its size. The Chevy Tahoe starts at $59,000 MSRP, while the Chevy Tahoe starts at $62,000. The highest Chevy Tahoe trim, the High Country, starts at $78,700 MSRP, and the highest Chevy Suburban trim, also called the High Country, starts at $81,700 MSRP. 2025 Chevy Tahoe vs. 2025 Chevy Suburban: Final Thoughts Both vehicles share the same engines, seating availability, tech, and safety features. What it really comes down to is cargo space, as well as a slight difference in leg and hip room for your passengers in the back rows. If you want the most space possible for groceries, accessories, and your passengers, we’d recommend the 2025 Chevy Suburban. If you want a slightly smaller ride with a smaller wheelbase and tighter handling (but still massive amounts of space), the Chevy Tahoe is a wise decision. The best way to find out which is the right vehicle for you is to head down to Ed Morse Chevrolet in Savanna to try out both vehicles and see which one feels better.

Despite being the smallest truck in the lineup, it boasts class-topping towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped.

A few short years ago, the Trax was a bit of a black sheep in the Chevrolet lineup. Critics loved its value and fuel economy, but others complained about a lack of features and its modest size. So, Chevy went back to the drawing board, and for the 2024 model year, the Trax came back with a full redesign. The result was the crowd-pleasing compact SUV that we all know and love today. Now two years into its second generation, the Trax has received numerous awards, including a 10/10 rating from Car and Driver. If you’re in the market for the best small SUV for sale in Savanna, IL, let’s run through exactly what makes the Trax stand out. 2025 Chevy Trax Fuel Economy and Performance The Trax jumps off the starting line with an ECOTEC 1.2-liter turbocharged engine, which puts out 137 horsepower and 162 pound-feet of torque. The motor is paired with a standard 6-speed automatic and front-wheel drive in all models. This modest powertrain may not win the Trax any land speed records, but it provides more than enough kick to get it up to cruising speed on the highway. However, the biggest benefit is its stellar fuel economy—regardless of trim, all models are capable of an estimated 28 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway. 2025 Chevy Trax Interior Space Perhaps the biggest upgrade that the Trax got from its previous generation is that it now has a lot more room inside. It now has over 5 extra cubic feet of total passenger volume and almost 7 cubic feet more cargo volume behind the rear seats, giving shoppers far more space for grocery shopping, road trips, and more. Here are the full interior dimensions for the 2025 Trax: Seating capacity 5 Passenger volume 98.0 cubic feet Head room (front/rear) 39.6 / 38.1 inches Shoulder room (front/rear) 55.7 / 54.3 inches Hip room (front/rear) 52.1 / 45.8 inches Leg room (front/rear) 41.9 / 38.7 inches Cargo volume (behind rear seats) 25.6 cubic feet Cargo volume (behind front seats) 54.1 cubic feet the Trax also has noticeably improved leg and shoulder room over the last-gen model, making for a far more comfortable ride, especially for rear seat passengers. 2025 Chevy Trax Technology, Infotainment, and Safety No matter which trim you choose, the Trax has an impressive selection of tech features to enjoy. Base models come with an 8.0-inch center touchscreen display and a 3.5-inch driver info center, while the top-tier versions get an upgraded interface with an 11.0-inch HD center touchscreen and an 8.0-inch driver information display. Regardless of which screen setup you have, all models come standard with wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™, Bluetooth®, wireless voice commands, SiriusXM®, 2 USB ports (1 Type-A and 1 Type-C), and Wi-Fi hotspot capability. Other available features include wireless phone charging and additional rear USB charging ports. It’s not all fun and games with the Trax, though. It’s also packed with all sorts of standard and available driver assistance features, including: Forward Collision Alert Automatic Emergency Braking Front Pedestrian Braking Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning Following Distance Indicator HD Rear Vision Camera Buckle to Drive Teen Driver Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert (available) Rear Cross Traffic Alert (available) Rear Park Assist (available) 2025 Chevy Trax Price and Trims The Trax is available in 5 different trims, each with their own unique fascia, wheels, and interior accents that give them a distinct character.
