In the world of electric vehicles (EVs), the Chevrolet Bolt was an innovator. When it came on the market in 2017, it was the only affordable EV to surpass 200 miles of range, giving other EV manufacturers, such as Tesla, a run for their money.  Not only did it have an impressive range, but it also offered a spacious interior, loads of features, and a stylish yet practical design. The Chevrolet Bolt EV was popular among buyers, which then led to the launch of the larger, more crossover-like Bolt EUV, or electric utility vehicle. The naming convention confuses some car buyers, leaving them wondering how the Bolt EV and Bolt EUV compare and which they should choose. Read on to learn more about the differences between the two vehicles, especially when it comes to dimensions, performance specifications, and trims. Dimensions One key aspect of the Chevrolet Bolt EV vs. EUV matchup is the respective dimensions of the two vehicles. The Bolt EUV is about 63.54 inches tall, 69.5 inches wide (excluding mirrors), and 163.2 inches long. The Bolt EV, by comparison, is 63.6 inches in height, 69.7 inches wide (excluding mirrors), and 169.5 inches in length. While these dimensions are quite similar, to be sure, they translate into differences in the cabin sizes, too. The Bolt EV has 16.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 93.9 cubic feet of passenger space. The Bolt EUV, on the other hand, has 16 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and 97 cubic feet of passenger volume. The SUV-inspired EUV offers slightly more passenger volume. However, the Bolt EV's hatchback construction translates into more cargo space, at least with the seats up. Depending on your needs, one of these Chevrolets may be a better fit for you and your lifestyle. Performance Another area of comparison between the Bolt EUV and the Bolt EV is their performance. The Bolt EV uses a motor-and-battery system that generates around 200 horsepower, which is rather strong for a hatchback. Also, due to the instant torque that EVs offer, the Bolt EV really jumps off the starting line. As for the Bolt EUV, it uses the same powertrain as the Bolt EV. Both Chevrolet models generate 266 lb-ft of torque and have front-wheel drive. Premium construction materials and refined suspension make the EUV a smooth ride, and its muscular motor-and-battery system makes merging on the highway easy. While the Bolt EUV and EV both use the same powertrain and motor-and-battery system, they have different driving ranges. The Bolt EV has an EPA-estimated range of about 259 miles on a full battery charge. This edges out the Bolt EUV, which has an EPA-estimated range of about 247 miles. Both vehicles can charge with Level 1, 2, and 3 connections. Trims Both the EV and EUV are now available in a pair of trims. The Bolt EV's base model is the least expensive of the four available options. However, even the Premier, which is the highest trim of the Bolt EUV, is quite affordable — especially once you consider how much going electric will help you save on gas. So, if you're ready to get behind the wheel of one of these sleek new vehicles, consider checking out our vast inventory online. Technology The Bolt EUV comes with Super Cruise, a semi-autonomous driving technology developed by GM. The system enables hands-free driving on over 200,000 miles of compatible roads in the United States and Canada. When this feature is in use, a green bar on top of the vehicle's steering wheel illuminates. It flashes red when it requires direct input from you — for whatever reason — and turns blue when you switch to manual steering mode. This system makes the Bolt EUV an excellent alternative to the much more expensive EVs from other automakers that tout an autopilot feature. Currently, the Bolt EV doesn't have this technology, which is a strong point in favor of the Bolt EUV. Pricing A few years ago, GM announced an approximate $6,000 price decrease for both the Bolt EUV and Bolt EV. The price drop helped make the duo a compelling choice for new buyers and allowed this brand to be one of the most affordable ways to own an EV. However, GM is increasing the price for both Bolt models, citing production- and industry-related issues as reasons for the move. The Bolt EUV now has a base price of $28,795, which is up $600, while the Bolt EV sees its price creep up $900 to $27,495 (pricing includes a $995 destination charge). Should You Get the Bolt EV or Bolt EUV? If you want an EV under $30,000 and your priority is a more extended driving range paired with reliable performance, then you've got the choice between the Bolt EUV and EV. These vehicles have several similarities but some significant differences. In the end, however, your decision may come down to more minor details. The Bolt EUV offers a panoramic sunroof, more rear legroom, and the option of Super Cruise for hands-free driving. On the other hand, the Bolt EV is lighter and nimbler, has more range, better performance, and more luggage space. If most of your driving is on your own or in the city, you may find that the Chevrolet Bolt EV is the best choice due to its agility and smaller size. But, if you have a large family or enjoy long road trips, the additional features of the EUV make it the better option. The roomier cabin can provide a more comfortable and pleasant ride for those passengers in the back seats.

Marylanders know seafood. If you're in the greater Baltimore area, driving into the city to enjoy the catch of the day can be a delicious treat. Before you hop in the car, take some time to read about the best spots in the city so you can enjoy the crab cake or lobster roll of your dreams. Here's Koons White Marsh Chevrolet's roundup of places to enjoy a seafood dinner around Baltimore, Maryland. The Chop Tank If you're searching for a lively seafood restaurant for a delicious night out in Baltimore, The Chop Tank is your destination. Like you'd expect from an iconic Baltimore spot, hard-shell blue crabs are the pinnacle of a dinner at The Chop Tank. Favorite dishes include classic seafood soups, like the loaded Maryland crab soup and rich cream of crab and handhelds, like the Maryland crab cake sandwich. Expect generous portions and fresh ingredients that can satisfy any appetite. The atmosphere at The Chop Tank is a blast, too. It's in Fell's Point, the famed capital of Baltimore's seafaring history. The building that houses The Chop Tank is historic, too. This massive green shed has been part of Broadway Market, Fell's Point's bustling commerce center, for over 200 years. The Chop Tank has seating inside, surrounded by nautical decor, or outside, on a patio by the water. Hours: 4 p.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday, noon to midnight Friday, and 11 a.m. to midnight Saturday and Sunday. Location: 1641 Aliceanna St. Faidley's Seafood Maybe you're hoping for a casual lunch spot where you and a friend can enjoy some grab-and-go seafood and make an afternoon of it. Head over to Lexington Market, a vibrant gathering place where vendors sell some of Baltimore's best food. Faidley's Seafood has been around since 1886, and it's still in the family of its founder. The restaurant's crab cakes have always been its claim to fame. Crab cakes aren't scarce in Baltimore, but crab cakes this good are. Unlike some crab cakes, Faidley's cakes are pure crab. Each bite is fishy, flaky, and fresh. To make it a meal, order it as a platter. Your jumbo crab cake will come with two comforting sides. Options include fries, collard greens, macaroni and cheese, and fried corn on the cob. You could also get a taste of Faidley's top-notch crab with a soft crab sandwich or crab-stuffed shrimp. There's a bit of hustle and bustle at Lexington Market, especially around lunchtime, but you can typically grab a table. There are 130 food merchants, so Faidley's has plenty of neighbors if a member of your party isn't in the seafood mood. Hours: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. It's closed on Sunday. Location: 203 North Paca St. Nick's Fish House Nothing beats eating fresh seafood by the water and watching the waves crash. For the seaside alfresco experience in Port Covington, check out Nick's Fish House. It's also fun inside, with a lively bar and grill atmosphere, for days when it's a little chilly for the patio. Nick's Fish House serves plenty of casual bites to start off your meal with, like a crab-stuffed pretzel, crab balls, and French fries loaded with Old Bay seasoning, aioli, and cheese. When it's time to pick an entrée, sandwiches like the crab grilled cheese, crab cake sandwich, and lobster crab roll delight guests. You could also opt for the beloved seafood cavatappi or keep it simple with the catch of the day, which guarantees a fresh taste of local favorites. Enjoy a fresh seafood feast with friends or family with shrimp, steamed crab, clams, oysters, or mussels by the half-pound or pound. Nick's Fish House also serves Baltimore's signature "crush" drinks, hand-squeezed citrus cocktails that pair perfectly with fresh fish. Hours: 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday and Monday. Location: 2600 Insulator Dr., Port Covington. Mama's on the Half Shell If you're looking for a cozy spot for classic Baltimore seafood, Mama's on the Half Shell will satisfy your cravings. With generous portions, retro decor, and friendly staff, you'll feel right at home here. Mama's on the Half Shell serves some of Baltimore's favorite seafood chowder, so we recommend starting off with a warm bowl. There are some fun appetizers on the menu, like seafood-stuffed potato skins and lobster eggrolls, but it's hard to go wrong with a classic plate of fried oysters. The cheesy crab dip is also a crowd-pleaser. If you're craving a handheld, the seafood club sandwich is a mouth-watering pick, with shrimp salad, a fresh crab cake, bacon, tomato, lettuce, and Swiss cheese on flaky toasted bread. For something more upscale, pick from an array of seafood pasta dishes, like creamy seafood carbonara or spicy seafood arrabbiata. Mama's on the Half Shell is another great place to grab a refreshing crush cocktail, with flavors ranging from classic orange to cucumber lemonade. Their 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. weekday happy hour is a neighborhood favorite, with discounted crushes and oysters of your choice.

If you're looking to make your next vehicle a powerful sports car, one of the most important factors is the zero to 60 speed. In this regard, the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro offers some of the best speeds currently available. However, since Chevrolet offers several different powertrains on the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro, it's important to know how they impact the acceleration and speed. Below, we'll explain the different powertrains, their resulting zero to 60 speeds, and a few other reasons you may want to choose the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro. 2023 Chevrolet Camaro: Available Powertrains The speed you can get from the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro depends on your select powertrain. With the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro, there are four powertrain options to choose from. The first is a 2-liter turbo engine with direct injection and variable valve timing. This engine produces 275 horsepower along with 295 lb-ft of torque and comes standard on the Camaro LS and LT models. The second option is a 3.6-liter V-6 engine that produces 335 horsepower and 284 lb-ft of torque. This engine can also come with a 10-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission, which replaces the manual transmission. Third, there's the 6.2-liter LT1 V-8 engine. This engine produces a whopping 455 horsepower along with 455 lb-ft of torque. This engine is the standard option on the Camaro LT1 and the Camaro SS. You can also get the 10-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission with this engine. Finally, the last option is a 6.2-liter LT4 supercharged V-8 engine. With this beast, you'll get an astounding 650 horsepower along with 650 lb-ft of torque. Once again, you can pair this with the 10-speed automatic transmission, and this engine comes with a 1.7L Eaton supercharger. To get this engine, you'll want to select the Camaro ZL1. 2023 Chevrolet Camaro: Speed and Acceleration Now that we know the available engines, let's look at their respective zero to 60 times. For the 2-liter turbo engine, you'll be able to go from zero to 60 in 5.4 seconds if you select the coupe model and the manual transmission. Opting for the coupe model and the 8-speed automatic transmission increases this estimate slightly to 5.5 seconds. The 3.6-liter engine does a little better. With the coupe model and manual transmission, you can expect to go from zero to 60 in 5.2 seconds. Going with the coupe model and automatic transmission changes the estimate to 5.4 seconds. The 6.2-liter V-8 engine really steps things up. If you get this engine in a coupe model and the 6-speed manual transmission, your zero to 60 time is 4.3 seconds. Getting the 10-speed automatic transmission instead will drop the estimate down to 4 seconds flat. This is over one second faster than the base engine model. Finally, there's the 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 engine. This engine is even faster, going from zero to 60 in 3.7 seconds if you choose the coupe model and manual transmission. For the fastest zero to 60 time possible, go with the 10-speed automatic transmission, as the time drops to a mere 3.5 seconds with this configuration. 2023 Chevrolet Camaro: Fuel Efficiency Which engine you select impacts your speed, acceleration, and fuel efficiency. With the base engine, you can expect to get around 22 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. Upgrading the engine for more power drops these estimates a little bit. The V-6 engine will get around 18 mpg city and 29 mpg highway, while the V-8 engine tops out at 16 mpg in the city and 26 on the highway. This makes each Camaro configuration efficient, but if you want the best possible fuel efficiency, you'll want to explore the base engine model. 2023 Chevrolet Camaro: Optional Performance Upgrades Listed below are a few optional upgrades that you should consider to get the best performance from your 2023 Chevrolet Camaro. Dual-Mode Exhaust First, there's a dual-mode exhaust system. This exhaust allows for peak performance at higher engine speeds. It's also engineered to create an aggressive sound when it's idling without the sound becoming overwhelming. Magnetic Ride Control There's a magnetic ride control system on select models of the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro. This system can read the road and change damping in just 10 to 15 milliseconds. You can get the magnetic ride control system on the SS and Zl1 trims if you want to make your Camaro more responsive and stable at high speeds. Aluminum Wheels Finally, there are several different wheel options available on the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro. There are 18-inch aluminum wheels available, or you can upgrade to 19-inch forged-aluminum wheels which provide more grip on the road. Read through the details of each Camaro trim to see which wheels come standard with that selection. A Lot To Love About the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro The 2023 Chevrolet Camaro is one of the strongest-performing vehicles on the market today. If you're looking for a powerful coupe or convertible, you can't go wrong with a Camaro. However, the appeal of the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro goes beyond just the powerful performance and smooth driving experience. Some of the other features you can get with your Camaro include the following: Comfortable and supportive front seats Ambient interior lighting 8-inch touch-screen infotainment system Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integrations Wi-Fi hotspot Blind-spot monitoring Forward collision warning Rear parking sensors Learn More at Koons White Marsh Chevrolet If you think that the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro might be the vehicle for you, and you live in the White Marsh area, let Koons White Marsh Chevrolet assist you.

Two popular SUV models from Chevrolet are the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer and the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer. However, despite their similar names, these two SUVs are very different models. They’re both great options, but one of them is likely a better fit for your needs than the other. Below, we'll highlight some of the key differences between the two models to help you decide which is right for you. 2023 CHEVROLET BLAZER VS. CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER: INTERIOR SPACE AND COMFORT Let's start by looking at the interior of these two vehicles. The 2023 Chevrolet Blazer's interior is stylish and functional, with plenty of soft-touch materials and a two-tone color scheme. The round air vents and intuitive climate-control system make it easy to adjust the interior temperature based on your preferences. The rear seats feature plenty of space for taller adult passengers, while the cargo area has an abundance of space at 31 cubic feet. Available interior upgrades for the Blazer include leather upholstery, heated front and rear seats, and ambient lighting. The 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer similarly offers a spacious and comfortable cabin. Once again, adults should have plenty of space in the back seats, while drivers will enjoy the high driving position and comfortable driver's seat. If you want a slightly more upscale look with your Trailblazer, more premium trims come with features such as chrome embellishments and some colored trim pieces. Finally, the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer is great when it comes to cargo space, with 25 cubic feet in the rear, which you can expand by folding down not only the rear seats but also the front passenger seat. 2023 CHEVROLET BLAZER VS. CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER: PERFORMANCE Both vehicles feature a great driving experience thanks to their internal powertrains. On the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer, the standard setup is a turbocharged 2-liter engine that produces 228 horsepower. This pairs with a nine-speed automatic transmission with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. With this setup, the Blazer can tow up to 1500 lbs. There's also a V-6 engine available that produces 308 horsepower, which will allow you to tow up to 4500 lbs. For the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer, there are two different turbocharged engines available. The first is a 1.2-liter engine that produces 137 horsepower and comes with only front-wheel drive. The other option is a 1.3-liter engine that produces 155 horsepower and can come with all-wheel drive. Both engines pair with a continuously variable transmission unless you select an all-wheel drive model, in which case you'll get a nine-speed automatic transmission. 2023 CHEVROLET BLAZER VS. CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER: FUEL EFFICIENCY Fuel efficiency is another important consideration for any new vehicle you select. With the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer, you can expect to get around 22 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway when you select the standard engine. If you upgrade to the V-6 engine, these estimates change to 20 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. Selecting all-wheel drive may drop the estimates a little further for both engines. The 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer is a little more fuel efficient compared to the Chevrolet Blazer. With the standard engine options, the EPA estimates you'll get around 29 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. Choosing the larger 1.3-liter engine and all-wheel drive changes these estimates to 26 mpg and 30 mpg, respectively. 2023 CHEVROLET BLAZER VS. CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER: ENTERTAINMENT To keep you entertained on long drives, both the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer and the Chevrolet Trailblazer come with great entertainment tech. Inside the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer, there's a 10-inch infotainment touch screen that makes it easy to control your favorite media sources. This includes your smartphone, as you get both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integrations. For an even better audio experience, the Blazer can come with an improved eight-speaker Bose audio system. With the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer, a 7-inch infotainment touch screen comes standard, but an 8-inch unit is also available. This system also features Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, along with SiriusXM satellite radio. The standard audio setup features four speakers, with a six-speaker and a premium Bose setup also available. 2023 CHEVROLET BLAZER VS. CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER: SAFETY Finally, both the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer and the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer have the latest safety technology onboard. They share many of the same features, and the model and trim will determine which features come standard. For both the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer and the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer, the base model includes features such as lane departure warning and automated emergency braking, with other features such as adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring available as upgrades. WHICH MODEL IS RIGHT FOR YOU? Even though these two models are similar in name, there are some big differences between the two models. If you're looking for a reliable and affordable SUV, you'll likely prefer the 2023 Chevrolet Trailblazer, as its starting MSRP is $23,395. On the other hand, if you want a more premium driving experience and have a slightly larger budget, you might want to explore the 2023 Chevrolet Blazer and its starting MSRP of $36,495.

Baltimore, Maryland, is known for its crabs. Chesapeake Bay blue crabs are a signature seafood specialty that you’ll find on any menu you pick up in Charm City. And while you can find plenty of places to enjoy steamed crabs coated in spicy Old Bay seasoning, several Baltimore establishments take crab to new levels. Discover the following six places featuring crab in dynamic dishes. BLUE CRAB EGG ROLLS AT WATERSHED With its home in the newly remodeled Cross Street Market, Watershed delivers classic Maryland seafood with signature dishes and new takes on familiar classics. The expansive rooftop deck beckons guests outdoors during the warmer seasons for casual dining in the heart of Federal Hill. Leave it to the culinary pros at Watershed to prepare your blue crab egg rolls. This deep-fried crab delicacy offers a mixture of blue crab, shrimp, ginger, and scallions paired with a spicy aioli.

CRAB MEATBALLS AT THE FOOD MARKET Located on The Avenue in Hampden, The Food Market delivers imaginative fare from Chef Chad Gauss and his team. Each dish on The Food Market's menu reflects approachable, excellent comfort food with clever interpretations of classic dishes. You might ask, "Where's the beef?" when you sample the meatballs at The Food Market, but you probably won't miss the beef after the first bite. In place of meat, you'll find luscious blue lump crabmeat served with pasta and topped with a sherry Fra Diavolo sauce. While they're not your mama's meatballs, the crab meatballs at The Food Market put a distinctive Baltimore twist on a classic Italian dish. Location: 1017 W. 36th St., Baltimore. Telephone: 410-366-0606. CRAB PIZZA AT MATTHEW'S PIZZA A staple part of the community since 1943, Matthew's Pizza is where Baltimoreans go when they're craving a slice of pizza. The 79-year-old pizza parlor on Eastern Avenue has its fair share of accolades beyond Charm City. The New York Times and the Travel Channel have each turned the spotlight on this neighborhood pizzeria and its uncomplicated approach toward making pizza just the way you like it. The pizza masters at Matthew's Pizza have come up with a pizza to delight crab lovers: the aptly named crab pie. A crispy, deep-dish, 10-inch crust serves as the base for a topping of 100% backfin crabmeat with hand-grated mozzarella and imported cheeses topped with caramelized onions and Old Bay seasoning. While this pizza is available at market price only, the taste is worth the splurge. Location: 3131 Eastern Ave., Baltimore. Telephone: 410-276-8755. CRAB QUICHE AT GERTRUDE'S RESTAURANT Located within the Baltimore Museum of Art, Gertrude's Restaurant has been a fixture in Baltimore's restaurant scene for over 20 years. Founded by Chef John Shields and John Gilligan in 1998, Gertrude's embraces a farm-to-table approach to its menu that celebrates Maryland's bounty, from land to sea. While diners at Gertrude's will find plenty of crab specialties to pique their palate, one dish you should try is the Back Creek Inn Crab Quiche. Served platter style, this lovely lunch or light dinner dish features tender bites of jumbo lump crabmeat with eggs, Swiss cheese, red onion, and fresh herbs served with a crisp garden salad. If you're craving even more crab, you can pair the crab quiche with a cup or bowl of Miss Jean's Red Crab Soup. This savory soup, featuring vegetables and lump crabmeat, makes an excellent comfort food that you can enjoy at any time of the year, especially during cold weather.

It can be difficult to determine which truck is best for you, but if the Silverado 2500HD or 3500HD are both on the table, you probably want a lot of power. How wide is the gap between these Chevy vehicles, and which is the better value? Learn the key differences between these two pickup trucks below, so you can select the best option for your needs. Koons White Marsh Chevrolet in White Marsh is at your side to help you compare the Chevy Silverado 2500 with the 3500. WHAT ARE THE SILVERADO 2500HD AND 3500HD? The 2500HD and 3500HD, or just Silverado 2500 and 3500, are two larger versions of the Silverado. They are different from the standard, half-ton Silverado 1500, which is a powerful pickup truck. Heavy-duty (HD), pickup trucks are similar to their moderately large cousins, but they come with engines not found on the regular size. They are just like the Silverado 1500 but are capable of even more intense work, such as towing, winching, hauling, uphill off-roading, and even fifth-wheel trailering. CHEVY SILVERADO 2500 VS. 3500: ENGINES AND CAPACITY The Silverado 2500 and 3500 both include a 6.6-liter V-8 as the basic engine and offer 401 horsepower, 464 lb-ft of torque, and a six-speed automatic transmission. A newly optimized 6.6-liter Turbo-Diesel V-8 engine, combined with a 10-speed Allison transmission, provides 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque. The 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 offers a fantastic towing limit of 13,300 lbs when equipped with the 6.2-liter V-8 engine, plus a still great 8,900 lbs on the ZR2. That said, the gas-powered Silverado 2500 can tow up to 14,500 lbs. It can also haul up to 3,614 lbs of payload, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitch in place of a cargo bed lets it tow up to 17,390 lbs. With a diesel engine, you can tow up to 18,500 lbs and carry up to 3,900 lbs of payload. These two Chevy trucks have a good reputation for heavy-duty operations, providing excellent HD strength and resilience both on and off the road. The 3500 stands out with the potential to add dual rear wheels, extending its capabilities even further. A gasoline 3500 can tow up to 16,800 lbs and carry 7,442 lbs of goods, whereas a diesel drivetrain can potentially tow 20,000 lbs and carry 6,523 lbs. With a gooseneck or fifth-wheel hitch, you can potentially tow 17,200 lbs on gas or up to 36,000 lbs on diesel. CHEVY SILVERADO 2500 VS. 3500: EXTERIOR DIFFERENCES Both of these trucks have the exact same styling cues as their corresponding Silverado 1500 model year's design, barring the badges changing to reflect their 2500 or 3500 status. The 3500 isn't any larger than the 2500, but both are six inches longer than the 1500, providing a slightly longer wheelbase and a little extra room in the cabin. The Chevrolet Silverado 2500 offers a normal, double, or extra-large crew cab, plus an 82.8-inch regular bed or a 98.4-inch long bed. The Silverado 3500 also has three cabs, but the regular bed option is just slightly smaller at 81.6 inches. CHEVY SILVERADO 2500 VS. 3500: PRICING The Silverado 3500 comes at a higher price to reflect its capability. The Silverado 2500 is an amazing powerhouse at a somewhat cheaper price point, but for many White Marsh drivers, the increased muscle of the 3500 is either necessary or makes life easier. The 2023 Silverado 2500 has an MSRP of $40,500, while the Silverado 3500 starts at $41,700, so there certainly isn't a major difference. Overall, some drivers might find themselves caught between a higher-configuration 2500 or a lower-configuration 3500 at roughly the same price, but which ever one you choose, both trucks deliver excellent value for money. Feel free to browse our current Chevy special offers at Koons White Marsh to cut down on the total cost of your Silverado. DECIDING BETWEEN THE 2500 OR 3500 When it comes to picking between these two highly similar trucks, you don't have to worry too much. You can’t really go wrong, and the 3500 mostly just expands the work potential. Think about your predicted powertrain needs and consider finding a truck that goes a little further. After all, you don't lose out from having extra power. Crew Cab Silverado trucks offer more interior space for you and your passengers, but all provide access to the same luxury features as other Silverado models. If you expect to tow objects up to a certain size, such as your favorite camper, boat, or trailer, simply check the weight of the heaviest one and compare it with the maximum capabilities of your preferred Silverado size and engine combination. If the 3500 is required, go with that, but if the 2500 could work as well, consider test driving some Silverado trucks at our White Marsh dealership. With either, you'll have a better experience on the job site, a family road trip, or even a date night. TEST DRIVE A SILVERADO HD AT KOONS WHITE MARSH CHEVROLET HD trucks are great for big jobs or high-octane fun, and the Silverado 2500 is a powerful, capable, and versatile contender. The Silverado 3500 adds supersized strength to the same design. Both have wide ranges of power and more or less the same standard and optional features, so determine which one best suits your needs and budget. If you have any further questions, please contact Koons White Marsh Chevrolet, or start browsing our current Chevy models. Simply click to schedule a test drive in what may be your next Silverado. You can also apply for financing in advance, allowing you to begin the truck-buying process from the comfort of your own home. Light-duty pickup trucks are an excellent choice as well, and you can get as much as 11,000 lbs of towing capacity on new 2023 Silverado 1500 models. Browse these and more work-ready, empowering new Chevy models from the comfort of your home using our online inventory. We offer better financing flexibility than any White Marsh Chevy dealership, as well as special offers and even the opportunity to design your own custom truck. Image by Chevrolet

Few crossovers can match the suave street presence of the 2023 Chevrolet Equinox. Distinctive elements emerge from every angle, and its meticulously built cabin pampers every guest. Could it be everything you and your family want in a new vehicle? To be sure, it's only right to step inside and take a test drive. Although the Equinox looks great and delivers excellent horsepower, there’s just as much to love in the cabin. At Koons White Marsh Chevrolet, we want to help customers in White Marsh, Maryland, to find the best new Chevy for their needs. Check out this guide to the 2023 Equinox interior. 2023 EQUINOX CABIN COMFORT AND SEATS The cabin of the 2023 Equinox is made from robust but comfortable materials, including soft-touch or polished surfaces and little to no plastic. Both front- and rear-seat passengers will feel at ease with excellent ride quality and multiple convenient features. Air conditioning and power-controlled windows are standard on the starting trim level, the Equinox LS. It also offers a four-way manual front passenger seat and active noise cancelation. Starting trims can add on an eight-way power driver's seat with lumbar support and memory settings. The supportive front bucket seats are available in various materials and colors, but even the standard cloth options are comfortable. Plenty of additional interior comforts are available as options on LT models or come standard on RS and Premier trims. For instance, you could add a sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, and through the LT, a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel, as well as heated front seats. 2023 EQUINOX INTERIOR COLORS Tailor the look of your 2023 Chevy Equinox interior with a range of material color choices. You can choose from jet black premium cloth, jet black perforated leather, medium ash gray premium cloth, and jet black/maple sugar perforated leather. Some leather options also add stylish red accent stitching. 2023 EQUINOX DRIVER INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE The base trim comes equipped with a 3.5-inch diagonal monochromatic driver information center that provides essential information, such as speed, vehicle health, average fuel economy, and tire pressure. Upper trims come with a 4.2-inch diagonal multi-color driver information panel instead. The latter can be customized so you see exactly what you want in your preferred arrangement, along with other benefits, but both are advanced replacements for a more traditional analog gauge cluster. The 2023 Chevrolet Equinox is also packed with features to give you peace of mind while driving. Automatic emergency braking, following distance indicator, forward collision alert, front pedestrian braking, and other systems use the safety alert seat. Vibrations from the safety alert seat can guide you more effectively out of dangerous situations. For instance, if you were in danger of drifting out of a lane, your seat might vibrate lightly on the left side. If you prefer only audio cues, you can go to your infotainment screen's settings area to make that change at any time. 2023 EQUINOX INFOTAINMENT FEATURES For 2023, the Equinox starts with a 7-inch infotainment touch screen, using quick-loading software arranged in a convenient interface. Over-the-air updates automatically install and download any necessary improvements or corrections. A 12-volt auxiliary cargo area power outlet comes standard on all trims. White Marsh drivers could upgrade to a Chevrolet Infotainment 3 8-inch diagonal color touch screen. This larger screen is optional with the LT or standard with the Premier and carries the same benefits as the 7-inch screen. A manual tilting and telescoping steering wheel with driving and cabin controls, wireless versions of both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa come standard. Models with the 8-inch screen also come with HD rearview and 360-degree camera modes. 2023 EQUINOX CABIN CONVENIENCES All 2023 Chevy Equinox SUVs include a rear seat reminder system, ensuring you don't leave groceries or pets behind, and upgrading to the Equinox LT or higher adds vanity mirrors and an overhead console. One driver convenience related to performance that doesn’t always come standard on competing vehicles is automatic stop/start, which turns the engine off when you come to a complete stop for a few seconds without interrupting the infotainment system or climate control. 2023 EQUINOX CARGO SPACE AND PASSENGER VOLUME Despite being a small SUV, the 2023 Chevrolet Equinox’s interior cargo capacity of 29.9 cubic feet is substantial. When you need additional space, the rear manual-folding 60/40 split-bench seat folds down, expanding the total volume to 63.9 cubic feet. The motorized liftgate and roof rack options expand your storage space and convenience, but you're likely to find enough room for all your gear inside. The 2023 Equinox excels in terms of passenger volume and dimensions. Front headroom is a solid 40 inches, while the rear row gets a nearly identical 38.5 inches. Further, front legroom is 40.9 inches, while rear legroom is just 1 inch shorter. TEST-DRIVE 2023 EQUINOX MODELS AT KOONS WHITE MARSH CHEVROLET Of course, the interior is just one of the Equinox's many benefits. The MyChevrolet mobile app serves as your control center for many interior functions. Heat up or cool down your 2023 Equinox interior remotely with Chevy remote start and climate control functions, relax with Super Cruise, or even take your SUV off the beaten path. On LT models and higher, you can enjoy hands-free liftgates and powerful LED lighting. All in all, the 2023 Chevy Equinox brings a ton of value, whether you're looking at the top-level Premier or the base-level Equinox LS. You're sure to find an Equinox with everything you need to enjoy your next adventure. The question becomes where to buy or lease a Chevy Equinox in White Marsh, Maryland. General dealerships that don’t specialize in Chevrolet may have a lower quality selection, hidden fees, or financing complications. They may also not be able to provide Chevy special offers like we can. Save time and shop for a new Chevy Equinox or other SUV with the Koons White Marsh Chevrolet online inventory or visit our dealership on 10207 Philadelphia Road. We're the best dealership to get a 2023 Equinox, a new Chevy, or pre-owned models, all at superior prices. We also provide convenient Chevy automotive services. Image By Chevy

The engineering and design of the Chevrolet Traverse have progressed in many ways over the years. The 2023 Traverse is set to break the mold yet again. Here, we cover the differences in the interior and exterior of the Traverse between the 2022 and 2023 model years for your convenience. TRIM LEVELS AND PRIMARY CHANGES The 2023 Chevrolet Traverse is available in front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive forms of the LS, LT Cloth, LT Leather, RS, Premier, and High Country trim levels. The steering wheel on the LT trims of this SUV has a multi-button, multi-function interface that allows the driver to interact with many of the vehicle's features, including the infotainment system, radio, and cruise control system. It has three specialized lower grip areas designed to increase hand grip effectiveness on sharp turns. Two new colors for the 2023 version of the Traverse will be available: Radiant Red Tint-Coat and Sterling Grey Metallic. EXTERIOR STYLING, FEATURES, AND OPTIONS The design of the Chevrolet Traverse for the 2023 model year represents a flawless fusion of classic SUV style and next-generation esthetics. It maintains the bold, strong, hard-edged look of previous years while embracing the flowing lines of futuristic-looking vehicles. It has a grated black two-segment grille split by a metallic crossbar, a large low-set engine bay air intake, smoothly set headlights that wrap around to the sides of the Traverse slightly, and artistically understated body lines. This Traverse's available exterior features include active upper and lower Aero shutters, LED headlights with automatic on and off programming, 18-inch bright silver painted aluminum wheels with Blackwall all-season tires, LED taillights, deeply tinted glass, and windshield wipers with washers on both ends of the vehicle. A rear camera mirror washer, 20-inch polished aluminum versions of the wheels, bright chrome door handles, and power-folding, power-adjustable heated side-view mirrors with turn signals are also available. The Dual SkyScape two-panel sunroof with power rear sunscreen makes for an amazing passenger sky view day or night. A COMFORT AND CONVENIENCE-CENTRIC CABIN The inside of the 2023 Chevrolet Traverse is engineered with long commuters and leisure drivers alike in mind. Its available interior features include front passenger door umbrella holders, a 120-volt AC power outlet, express up and down power windows, a pair of USB ports for each seating row, heated front seats, a driver's seat position memory system, and a manual day-night rearview mirror. The seating upholstery is available in perforated leather-appointed or premium cloth forms. Other interior options include cruise control, lockout protection capable door locks, theater-dimming interior lighting, a rear-window electric defogger, and a digital compass display. A heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise control, ventilated front seats, tri-zone automatic climate control with three independent control consoles, and a wireless phone charging unit are optional. A WIDE RANGE OF ENTERTAINMENT FEATURES The 2023 Traverse comes with a six-speaker sound system with active noise cancellation programming, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a SiriusXM satellite radio. The Platinum version of SiriusXM satellite radio is also available for this vehicle. Its infotainment system is a 7-inch diagonal color touch screen with AM/FM stereo, two-device Bluetooth, voice-command-to-phone, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto programming. Optional entertainment features include wireless versions of the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto features, SiriusXM 360L satellite radio and GPS navigation, and a magnificent 10-speaker Bose premium sound system with a center console set subwoofer. TEEN DRIVER PROGRAMMING AND A SOLID SET OF SAFETY FEATURES The 2023 Chevrolet Traverse is ideal for families with new drivers. It includes programming that allows parents to customize the settings of their Traverse and set them to a particular key fob unit. Notable aspects of the Traverse Teen Driver System include safety feature deactivation lockout, a buckle-up to drive engine ignition requirement setting, and a vehicle report card compilation program. The generated report cards will help you show your teen driver how they can improve their driving. The Remote Access system allows drivers to unlock their Traverse through the myChevrolet mobile app. Primary safety features available on the 2023 Traverse include forward collision alert, a rearview camera, rear child-protective door locks, a tire pressure monitor, automatic emergency braking, a following distance indicator, lane-keeping assist with lane departure warning, a pedestrian detection system with emergency braking, and the LATCH anchor and tether car seat system. OnStar service is also available on this vehicle, allowing drivers to summon help in an emergency with the touch of a button. The StabiliTrak traction and stability control system augment the ride safety of the 2023 Chevrolet Traverse. ENGINE, TOWING, PAYLOAD, AND CARGO CAPACITY RATINGS The 2023 Chevrolet Traverse can tow up to 5,000 pounds, thanks to a 3.6L V-6 engine that provides 310 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. This Traverse's transmission is a nine-speed automatic version. Its suspension system is an independent five-link MacPherson strut version with auxiliary spring aids. It has a maximum payload capacity of 1,850 pounds and a maximum cargo area of 23 cubic feet. That expands to 98 cubic feet of cargo area with the seating areas behind the first row included. SUPREME CUSTOMIZABILITY One of the more remarkable aspects of the 2023 Chevrolet Traverse is its sheer customizability. Each trim level of this SUV has an impressive list of options that is far longer than each respective list of non-optional standard features. This means prospective owners of the 2023 Chevrolet Traverse can select the features they want and leave off the ones they don't, maximizing the vehicle's desired feature-to-price relationship. There’s no need to pay for features you don't want or need in the case of this fantastically customizable SUV. The 2023 Chevrolet Traverse is available in all its many forms at Koons White Marsh Chevrolet. Our experienced and attentive team of professionals will be happy to help you configure your ideal SUV. After that, our skilled finance department team will work to find the best possible deal for you. Feel free to reach out to us if you’re interested in learning more about the 2023 Traverse.
