First Look: New 2026 Chevy Equinox Features

With a diverse lineup of sizes, powertrains, and available features, Chevy SUVs cater to a wide range of tastes. In fact, many shoppers who visit our dealership in Savanna, IL, find it hard to narrow it down to just one model. That’s where our team of Chevy experts comes in handy. If you’re not sure which of these award-winning models is right for your family, check out our quick guide to discover which one is best for your needs. more Trax: Most Affordable Chevy SUV With a starting price of just $21,600 and a selection of trims with an MSRP well under $30k, the Trax is the perfect choice for budget-conscious shoppers and young families looking for an affordable yet dependable SUV. Make no mistake, though—just because it’s modestly priced, that doesn’t mean it’s cheap. The Trax comes with plenty of standard comfort and convenience features, including wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, multiple USB ports, and the Chevy Safety Assist suite of driver assistance features. Its low price tag also makes it easy to spring for upgraded features like the 11-inch center touch screen, wireless phone charging, in-vehicle Wi-Fi, and more. Trailblazer: Chevy SUV with the Best Fuel Economy The Trailblazer is another strong contender for shoppers seeking a Chevy SUV that’s easy to afford, but it also has the distinction of having some of the best fuel economy, which makes it even more wallet-friendly for thrifty families. When optioned with the 1.3-liter engine and front-wheel drive, it’s capable of over 30 MPG combined, which is undeniably solid for a non-hybrid. In addition to its competitive gas mileage, it also comes with more standard features than the lower-priced Trax, including the 11-inch HD center touch screen display and 8-inch Driver Information Center. Tahoe: Chevy SUV with the Highest Towing Capacity The Tahoe is known for its impressive capability, making it the most powerful of all the Chevy SUVs. It boasts a towing capacity of up to 8,400 pounds when properly equipped, and it has multiple available engines to choose from, including the standard 5.3-liter V8 with 355 horsepower and the recently upgraded 3.0-liter Duramax® Turbo-Diesel. Trailering potential can be complemented even further with up to 14 available camera views, making it easier than ever to haul boats, travel trailers, and more for your next vacation. It also has some of the highest performance potential, especially when optioned with the Z71 trim with all-terrain tires or the RST Performance Edition package with the souped-up 6.2-liter V8 engine. Suburban: Most Spacious Chevy SUV The Suburban is the Tahoe’s larger sibling, and it shares many of the same features, including a selection of three powerful engines, a massive towing capacity, and an incredibly well-appointed interior with a standard 17.7-inch center touch screen with Google built-in compatibility, plus available features like dual rear entertainment screens and Super Cruise hands-free driving. However, the main difference between the two is their size. The Suburban has seating for up to 9 people and 144.5 cubic feet of max cargo volume, which is over 20 cubic feet of extra storage space compared to the Tahoe. Because of this, the Suburban is often considered the ultimate family vehicle. Equinox EV: Electric Chevy SUV with the Longest Range Chevy’s been slowly adding some seriously impressive electric vehicles to its roster, but the Equinox EV is perhaps the best choice for families who want an EV SUV with the most driving range possible. Thanks to forward-thinking tech like One-Pedal Driving and Regen on Demand, it can drive up to 319 miles on a single charge when equipped with front-wheel drive. Of course, it also comes with a ton of other great perks, including the standard 17.7-inch center touch screen with Google built-in and a spacious cabin with nearly 60 cubic feet of cargo capacity, all at a stellar price.

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.

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.
