Get A Little Mud on Your Tires this Spring

Paved highways? Boooriiing. City streets? Snooze fest. Going fast on the freeway? Well, maybe that's not boring—but it's still not the kind of adventure you'd have off-road. And you know that. Which is why you want the most capable Chevy Silverado 1500 available. The one loaded with features that can turn your boring highway traveling into some serious off-road fun. Let's find out which features can scratch your itch for adventure at Hi-Country Chevrolet near Shiprock.

Two Roads to Take

When you want to go off-road, there's two options. You can go with a package upgrade. Or you can go with a trim designed to do everything you want from the factory. We'll discuss both.

The Z71 Off-Road Package

The Z71 Off-Road package is available on select Chevy Silverado 1500 trims. The WT, LT, RST, LTZ, and High Country can be equipped with these specific off-road features.

Two-Speed Transfer Case

This allows you to engage both gears simultaneously and distribute power solely to the rear axle. Your vehicle will be able to operate as 2WD at will. The features will help save wear on your 4WD components and will also help your fuel economy.

Skid Plates

Skid plates will help preserve the underside of your vehicle when it makes contact with the ground. It's an abrasion-resistant material that will protect vital parts of your undercarriage from being punctured or damaged when going across rocky or unstable terrain in Farmington.

Hill Descent Control

So, you're coming down from a steep climb. The last thing you want to do is lose control of your Silverado 1500. Hill Descent Control will give you a slow and easy descent without any brake input from the driver.

Heavy-Duty Air Filter

When you go off-road, we're sure you'll be headed for some dirty, dusty, muddy paths. Your Heav-Duty Air Filter is designed to keep clean air flowing into the engine. That way, none of your terrain ends up inside your vehicle's major components.

The Silverado 1500 Custom or Silverado Custom LT Trail Boss

These trims come from the factory with features that will make a difference on your off-road adventure. Here are the off-road additions for these two trims.

Two-Inch Lift

A lifted suspension will help you clear more obstacles with a higher ground clearance (10.9 inches). And, if we may add, it makes your truck look a heck of a lot cooler in Durango.

Rancho® Shocks

These shocks are geared toward off-road performance. Rancho® is a leader in suspension and shock technologies and products for trucks, jeeps, SUVs, and other vehicles. If you've got Rancho® suspension, then you've got one of the toughest vehicles around.

Automatic Rear Locking Differential

Automatic locking differentials require no driver action and will automatically lock the axles together when torque is applied. Once engaged, this will not allow both wheels to spin freely, decreasing the risk of losing traction or spinning out.

32-inch Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac M/T Tires

What else do we need to say? Thirty-two-inch tires. Go where you want to go. Not where you have to go.

The ZR2 Bison

This has everything you want and more for a great off-road journey. It features 33-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and driver-selectable front and rear lockers as skid plates. It's standard from the factory, with 11.2 inches of ground clearance.

DSSV Dampers

A chassis suspension technology that delivers high levels of suspension damping performance. It optimizes your performance by maintaining traction on any surface, through corners, and over bumps.

Driver Selectable Front and Rear Lockers

This feature will double your traction by spinning both tires while you're having fun in Aztec. A locking differential will keep both tires spinning, regardless if one is on the ground while the other is in the air.
