Blog Towing at Beaver Lake with the 2027 Chevy Tahoe What actually changes when you point a loaded trailer at the ramp, and which 2027 Tahoe configuration gets you there without guessing. View Tahoe Inventory Quick Answer Maximum towing is 8,400 lbs, on the 5.3L V8 with rear-wheel drive and the Max Trailering Package. Step up to the 6.2L V8, add 4WD, or choose the Duramax diesel, and the ceiling moves to 8,200 lbs. The Max Trailering Package (standard from LS up) adds the in-vehicle trailering app and up to 14 camera views for backing down a ramp. For 2027, Super Cruise with trailering is available on the diesel for the first time, not just the gas V8s. Beaver Lake has ramps at Prairie Creek, Horseshoe Bend, War Eagle and a half dozen smaller launches, and on a busy Saturday every one of them has a line of trucks and SUVs backing trailers down concrete that gets steeper than it looks from the parking lot. What actually separates a smooth launch from a stressful one has less to do with horsepower on a spec sheet and more to do with which specific Tahoe configuration you're driving, because "the Tahoe tows 8,400 lbs" is true and also not the whole answer. The Number That Matters Isn't the Headline Number Chevrolet's 8,400-lb maximum belongs specifically to the 5.3L V8, rear-wheel drive, with the Max Trailering Package, not to every Tahoe on the lot. Step up to the 6.2L V8, and the number moves to 8,200 lbs. The Duramax diesel also tops out at 8,200 lbs. Add 4WD to either engine and the same 8,200-lb ceiling applies. That's a small gap on paper, but it's the difference between a rating you can plan around and a rating you assumed. Before you shop a boat or a travel trailer against a number you saw online, confirm which drivetrain that number actually applies to, the full breakdown is on the Tahoe specs page. What 5,000-8,400 Lbs Actually Covers at This Lake A bass boat or a small pontoon, loaded with fuel and gear, typically runs well under the Tahoe's ceiling in either drivetrain configuration, that's comfortable towing, not maximum towing. A mid-size pontoon or a travel trailer built for a family of four starts to push into the range where the 200-lb gap between 8,200 and 8,400 actually matters, and where the diesel's low-end torque (495 lb-ft, more than either gas V8) makes the pull up the ramp and the merge back onto AR-12 feel less like work. If the plan is bigger than that, a large fifth-wheel or a heavy dual-axle trailer, that's honestly outside what any of the Tahoe's three engines are built for, and a heavier-duty truck is the right tool. Sustained Grades Are the Real Test, Not the Ramp The launch itself is a five-minute event. The mile of sustained climb on the interstate south of Bentonville, or the grade coming back up from the lake with a loaded trailer behind you, is where a tow rating actually gets tested, and it's where the gap between the 5.3L V8's 355 hp/383 lb-ft and the Duramax's 305 hp/495 lb-ft shows up as a real difference in how hard the engine has to work. Match the trailer to the rating you actually have, not to how the tow felt on flat pavement in the parking lot. Why the Max Trailering Package Is Worth Confirming, Not Assuming Every Tahoe from LS up ships with a Class IV hitch, but the Max Trailering Package is what gets you the 8,400-lb ceiling, the in-vehicle trailering app, and up to 14 camera views for backing a trailer down a ramp without a spotter standing in the water. For 2027, Super Cruise with trailering is also available on the diesel for the first time, which means hands-free assistance on the interstate stretch to the lake is no longer exclusive to the gas engines. Worth asking about specifically if that's part of what you're shopping for. Full trim-by-trim equipment is on the Tahoe trims page. Cargo for the Rest of the Trip Towing capacity gets the headline, but the second question every lake trip actually asks is where the cooler, life jackets and folded bimini top go once the boat's in the water. With the third row up for passengers, the Tahoe still carries 25.5 cu ft behind it, enough for a day's gear without anyone repacking the garage first, and without giving up seats to do it. Keep the Drivetrain Ready for Trailer Season A season of loaded launches and steep interstate grades is harder on a truck than daily commuting, so towing regularly is a good reason to stay ahead of the recommended service schedule rather than push it. Answers to more pricing, trim and capability questions beyond towing are on the Tahoe FAQ page. If You're Deciding Between the Tahoe and the Traverse for This The Traverse's 5,000-lb rating, properly equipped, genuinely covers a lot of the boats that go into Beaver Lake on a normal weekend, it's not a compromise choice for a smaller boat. But once you're near or past that number, the difference isn't marginal; it's the difference between towing within the rating and towing past it. The full side-by-side is on the Tahoe vs Traverse comparison.

If the family outgrew a two-row crossover, the 2027 Chevrolet Traverse is where most Northwest Arkansas households land: an MSRP of $40,800, seating for up to eight, 98 cubic feet with the rear rows down, and 5,000 pounds of towing properly equipped, all on a midsize footprint that parks like a large crossover. A full-size SUV is the right call for a specific set of families, and the numbers below say exactly which ones. George Nunnally Chevrolet sells both, so this is a sizing question rather than a sales pitch: here is what each one gives you, and where the gap between them is real. The 2027 Traverse overview has the long version of the Traverse side. Quick Answer 2027 Traverse starts at an MSRP of $40,800, before the $1,995 destination charge; the 2026 Tahoe LS starts at $60,700. Traverse seats up to 8 and holds 98 cu ft maximum; Tahoe seats up to 9 and holds 122.7 cu ft. Traverse tows 5,000 lbs properly equipped, with the included trailering equipment, on LT, Z71 and RS. EPA combined: 22 mpg front-drive Traverse against 17 mpg for a 5.3L V8 rear-drive Tahoe, per fueleconomy.gov. Both carry the same 17.7-inch diagonal touchscreen as standard equipment. The matchup at a glance What you are comparing 2027 Traverse 2026 Tahoe Starting MSRP from $40,800 from $60,700 Engine 2.5L turbocharged four, 328 hp and 326 lb-ft 5.3L EcoTec3 V8, 355 hp and 383 lb-ft Seating 7, or 8 on the LT Up to 9, with the front bench on the LS Maximum cargo volume 98 cu ft 122.7 cu ft EPA combined 22 mpg front-drive, 21 all-wheel drive 17 mpg, 5.3L V8 rear-drive Touchscreen 17.7-inch diagonal, standard 17.7-inch diagonal, standard Maximum towing 5,000 lbs properly equipped, with the included trailering equipment, on LT, Z71 and RS Body-on-frame, built around heavier trailers Every Traverse figure above is on the 2027 Traverse specs page with its configuration attached, and the full spec-for-spec version of this matchup lives on Chevy Tahoe vs Traverse. Where the Traverse wins for a growing family Three places, and they are the three a family actually feels. The price of entry. Nearly twenty thousand dollars separates the two starting points, and another eight hundred separates the destination charges. That gap buys a lot of car seats, or it moves you from a base full-size to a well-equipped midsize with hands-free highway driving. The trims page lays out what each step up the Traverse range adds and who it suits. The fuel bill. Five miles per gallon combined is not a rounding difference over a school year. Northwest Arkansas runs almost all of its north-south traffic through one interstate corridor, and a family doing the I-49 commute plus two round trips a week to practice is living in the combined number, not the highway one. The footprint. Six and a half inches shorter and nearly six inches narrower with the mirrors out sounds academic until you are backing into a parking deck on a Saturday, or squeezing past a row of parked cars near the Razorback Regional Greenway trailheads. It is also the difference between fitting a single garage bay comfortably and folding the mirrors every night. The Traverse research hub collects the rest of the detail if you want to go deeper on any one of those three. Where the Tahoe wins Three places, and all three are real. Volume. 122.7 cubic feet against 98 with the rows down. If you routinely travel seven-up with luggage for a week, the Tahoe carries it and the Traverse asks you to pack tighter or use a roof box. The ninth seat. The Tahoe LS offers seating for up to nine with its front bench. The Traverse tops out at eight. Heavy trailers. The Tahoe is body-on-frame, and its standard 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 makes 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft. That architecture is what a large travel trailer or a car hauler is built around, and it is the reason the answer flips to full-size once the trailer goes past what the Traverse is rated for. The honest tie Two things people expect to differ and do not. Seven or eight seats. Both do it. The Traverse LT with the second-row bench seats eight, the same as most Tahoe trims. If the requirement is eight belts rather than nine, this is not a reason to spend twenty thousand dollars more. Third-row access. Row two slides forward on every Traverse with the child seat left in place, so getting a kid into row three does not mean dismantling the middle of the car. That is the mechanism that decides whether row three gets used on a school morning, and it is present on the trim with the $40,800 starting MSRP. The service schedule is the same across the range too, which keeps the running cost predictable whichever trim you land on. The screen. A 17.7-inch touchscreen with Google built-in is standard on all four Traverse trims. It is the same size the Tahoe LS carries. The local math Here is what this looks like on a real Northwest Arkansas week. Two adults, three kids, an I-49 commute from Rogers or Springdale, a Saturday at Arvest Ballpark, and a boat that goes in the water from May through September. The same picture holds for a family running US-412 in from Siloam Springs or the interstate up from Fayetteville. The boat is a bass boat or a small pontoon, so loaded on its trailer it stays under the Traverse's 5,000-pound properly-equipped rating. That family is a Traverse family, and the money left over covers the all-wheel drive and the Super Cruise plan. Change one variable, a travel trailer heavier than the Traverse's 5,000-pound rating, and the answer flips to full-size. The trailer is what decides this, not the number of kids. And weigh the trailer loaded rather than empty, because the long climbs on the interstate south of Fayetteville ask far more of a drivetrain than a flat test tow suggests. So which one should you buy? Your situation Buy this Three kids, a carpool, a commute, no trailer Traverse LT with all-wheel drive, from $42,800 Same, plus a bass boat or a small pontoon Traverse Z71, from $49,100, for the twin-clutch all-wheel drive on a wet ramp An hour of interstate every day Traverse RS, from $55,800, with standard hands-free Super Cruise A travel trailer over the 5,000-pound properly-equipped rating Tahoe, for the body-on-frame platform Nine people, regularly Tahoe LS with the front bench See every 2027 Traverse in stock Book a test drive How to settle it in one afternoon Drive both back to back on the same afternoon. The size difference reads as a rounding error on paper and is obvious from the driver's seat inside two miles, and it is the only part of this decision a table cannot settle. Bring the car seats. Two things worth doing first: start a pre-approval so you know your terms before you pick a trim, and get the trade appraised, because on a twenty-thousand-dollar spread the trade often decides which side of it you land on. Questions we get on this one Is the Traverse big enough for three car seats? Yes. Second-row shoulder room is 62.2 inches, within a tenth of an inch of the front row, and Smart Slide seats let you reach row three without pulling a seat out. Order the LT with the second-row bench and you get an eighth belt. When is a trailer too heavy for a Traverse? Above 5,000 pounds. That is the rating on the LT, Z71 and RS, properly equipped with the included trailering equipment, and past it a body-on-frame full-size is the right vehicle. The full Tahoe vs Traverse comparison works through the rest of it. Does the Traverse cost less to service than a full-size SUV? It runs a four-cylinder rather than a V8, on the same 7,500-mile oil and rotation schedule, and the first maintenance visit is covered by Chevrolet inside the first year. Warranty terms run 3 years or 36,000 miles bumper-to-bumper and 5 years or 60,000 miles on the powertrain. Which Traverse trim has hands-free driver assistance? Two of the four: the RS and the High Country include it as standard equipment for 2027, each with a 3-year OnStar Super Cruise plan. It is available elsewhere in the lineup. Where can I see both in Rogers or Springdale? Both are on the lot at George Nunnally Chevrolet, 2700 SE Moberly Ln, a short run down the interstate and not much further from Siloam Springs.

Order a 2027 Silverado 1500 or Buy a 2026? Vehicle shown with available equipment. Image supplied by the manufacturer. The Short Version The all-new 2027 Silverado 1500 arrives at the end of 2026; you can reserve a build now. 2026 Silverados are on the ground in Bentonville today, often with incentives. Buy from stock if you need a truck now; reserve a 2027 if you want the redesign. Bring your loaded trailer weight and we will spec the right truck around it. There is a short window every few years when a truck buyer in Northwest Arkansas has two good options at once, and we are heading into it. The all-new 2027 Silverado 1500 is a ground-up redesign arriving at the end of 2026 and you can reserve one now, while the 2026 Silverados are still on the lot at George Nunnally Chevrolet in Bentonville with their own incentives. Whether you reserve the new one or buy off the ground comes down to how much you want the redesign versus how soon you need the truck. Here is how we talk it through with people who come in from Rogers, Springdale and Fayetteville. Buy from stock if you need a truck now Most people who need a truck need it for two or three specific things. If your list is "crew cab, four-wheel drive, tows a boat to Beaver Lake, seats the family," we can almost certainly hand you keys to a 2026 Silverado 1500 that does all of it this week. Buying from stock is faster, it usually carries an incentive, and you get to sit in the exact truck before you sign. If that is you, the 2026 Silverado 1500 guide is the place to start. Reserve a 2027 if the redesign is what you want Reserving makes sense when the new truck's changes are the reason you are buying. For 2027 that is a real list: two brand-new small-block V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L that Chevrolet calls the most powerful naturally-aspirated V8 in the half-ton class; a fully digital cockpit with a 16.3-inch screen; and available Super Cruise that keeps working while you tow. If a specific new engine or the redesigned interior is what you are after, reserve the build rather than waiting for the right one to land. The 2027 Silverado 1500 overview lays out the whole lineup, and the trim guide walks the seven trims from Work Truck to ZR2 and High Country. What actually changed for 2027 Enough that a 2026 spec sheet is not a 2027 spec sheet. The Silverado is all-new for 2027 — new styling, a new digital interior, a revised seven-trim lineup that renames the LT simply Silverado, and the two new V8s replacing the old 5.3L and 6.2L. Pricing, EPA fuel economy and final tow ratings are published by Chevrolet closer to the on-sale date, and we post each confirmed number the day it lands. The 2027 specs page tracks what is official as it firms up. None of that makes a 2026 a worse truck — it is still the one we can hand you keys to this week. The towing question worth settling up front If towing is why you are buying, get it right before you order. On a half-ton, the tow rating is set by engine, cab, bed and axle together, not by the badge on the tailgate, so two trucks that look alike can be rated differently. The 2027's official ratings publish at launch, and the Duramax diesel and new 6.6L V8 are the tow-focused engines. If you already know what your loaded boat or camper weighs, bring us that number and we will build the spec backwards from it. Our towing guide covers the Max Trailering package and the segment-exclusive Super Cruise hands-free trailering. The winter question nobody asks until January If you buy in the autumn, your truck's first season is an Ozark winter, and that is worth ten minutes of planning. I-49 gets treated through the freeze-thaw stretches and a truck parked outside collects that brine spray. The practical habit is washing the undercarriage through the salt season rather than waiting for spring. It is also worth setting up the service schedule early, especially if you tow — towing brings oil and driveline service forward. Our service and maintenance page covers what the truck needs and when. How to decide in one visit Come into George Nunnally Chevrolet at 2700 SE Moberly Ln in Bentonville, just off I-49.

Quick answer: the 2026 Traverse as a tow vehicle The 2026 Chevrolet Traverse is rated at 5,000 pounds properly equipped, and the trailering equipment is standard on every trim rather than an option you hunt for. The 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder makes 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft on regular 87-octane unleaded, which is what makes that rating comfortable rather than theoretical. It still carries the family: seven seats standard, eight on the LT with the available second-row bench, and 22.9 cubic feet of cargo behind the third row. EPA estimates are 20 city / 26 highway / 22 combined in front-drive and 20 / 24 / 21 with all-wheel drive. The Traverse starts at $40,800 before a $1,995 destination charge. George Nunnally Chevrolet stocks them in Bentonville. Call (479) 319-2494. A 5,000-pound rating puts a lot of NWA weekends in reach of a 2026 Chevrolet Traverse: a small travel trailer, a teardrop or hybrid camper, a pair of side-by-sides on a utility trailer, or a boat. What it does not do is answer the second question, which is whether the same vehicle still works as the family car on Monday. Here is what the rating actually covers here, and what to check before you hitch up. The Traverse research hub has the full set of pages. See Every 2026 Traverse in Stock How much can a Traverse actually pull? 5,000 pounds, properly equipped. That figure holds across the lineup because the trailering equipment is standard on every trim, so it is not a number that depends on which box you ticked at order time. The engine is what makes it usable. The 2.5L turbocharged four makes 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft, and torque is the part that matters on a hill with a trailer behind you. The specifications page has the full numbers, and the model overview is the plain-language version of the whole car. What a 5,000-pound rating covers in NWA More than most families need. A single-axle travel trailer, a teardrop or a hybrid pop-up sits well inside it, as does a ski boat on a single-axle trailer, and either one gets to Beaver Lake or a campsite at Hobbs State Park without drama. Devil's Den is the harder run, because the I-49 grades south of Fayetteville are the real test of any tow vehicle in this region. The honest planning number is not the trailer's dry weight, it is the loaded weight with water, gear and bikes on the back. Build in the margin and a Traverse handles a Northwest Arkansas camping season comfortably. If your trailer is a dual-axle bunkhouse and the loaded number is climbing past the rating, the Traverse versus Tahoe comparison is the right next read, because that is the step up this market usually makes. Do you need to option anything? For the tow rating itself, no. Trailering equipment is standard across the range, which is unusual in this class and worth knowing before you start pricing packages on a rival. What is worth optioning is what makes the miles easier. Super Cruise, the hands-free driver assistance system, is standard on the High Country and RS and available on the LT and Z71 through the Enhanced Driving Package, and a long haul down the interstate is exactly where you notice it. The trim levels page shows what each rung includes. What towing means for people and gear This is where a three-row earns its place over a truck. The Traverse seats seven as standard and eight on the LT with the available second-row bench, and it holds 22.9 cubic feet behind the third row, 56.6 behind the second and 98 cubic feet with both rows folded. That is a full family plus a week of camping kit, before the trailer is even attached. Weight still has to be watched: GVWR is 6,173 pounds and an LT front-drive weighs 4,504 pounds at the curb, which leaves roughly 1,669 pounds for people, cargo and trailer tongue weight combined. That is the number that quietly decides how much you can pack. The cargo and seating page breaks the space down row by row. Which Traverse suits a towing family in NWA? The LT is the volume answer and the only trim that seats eight, opening at $40,800 before the $1,995 destination charge. The Z71 adds all-wheel drive as standard, 18-inch all-terrain wheels and 7.8 inches of ground clearance against the standard 6.8, which is the trim for gravel campground approaches. The RS and High Country are the equipment-led rungs and bring Super Cruise as standard. Cross-shopping? The Traverse versus GMC Acadia comparison covers the closest relative, and the Traverse versus Equinox page is the one to read if you are still deciding whether you need a third row at all. Browse Traverse LT and Z71 Stock Schedule a Test Drive Hitching up in NWA Bring the trailer and we will weigh the real question with you. We are at 2700 SE Moberly Ln, a couple of minutes off I-49, and the run south from here is the same road your camper will see, so a test drive tells you more than a spec sheet does. The 39-foot turning circle is the other thing to try in our lot, because campground loops are tighter than interstates. Ownership questions are worth asking on the day: the maintenance schedule covers service intervals, and towing does change how often some of them come around. When you are ready, value your trade or get pre-approved. 2026 Traverse towing questions How much can a 2026 Chevrolet Traverse tow? 5,000 pounds, properly equipped, and the trailering equipment is standard on every trim. What engine does it use? A 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder rated 328 horsepower and 326 lb-ft, running on regular 87-octane unleaded. Does towing change with all-wheel drive? The rating is 5,000 pounds properly equipped across the lineup. All-wheel drive is standard on the Z71 and available elsewhere, and it changes EPA estimates to 20 city / 24 highway / 21 combined against 20 / 26 / 22 in front-drive. How many people does it seat? Seven as standard, and eight on the LT with the available second-row bench. The Z71, RS and High Country seat seven. How much cargo is there with a full house? 22.9 cubic feet behind the third row, 56.6 behind the second, and 98 cubic feet with both rear rows folded. Which trim has the most ground clearance? The Z71, at 7.8 inches against the 6.8 inches standard elsewhere, and it comes with all-wheel drive and 18-inch all-terrain wheels. Is Super Cruise available? Yes. It is standard on the High Country and RS, and available on the LT and Z71 through the Enhanced Driving Package. How big is the Traverse to park and store? 204.5 inches long on a 121.0-inch wheelbase, 79.6 inches wide without mirrors and 69.6 inches tall, with a 39.0-foot turning circle. Where do I get a question answered that is not here? The Traverse FAQ page covers the common ones, or call (479) 319-2494 with your trailer's loaded weight and we will talk it through. Pricing is starting MSRP and excludes tax, title, license and dealer fees; the destination freight charge is stated separately and the dealer sets the final price. Trailering figures are maximums for a properly equipped vehicle and vary by configuration and equipment. Fuel-economy figures are EPA estimates and will vary with driving.

A 240-volt home charger fills the Equinox EV in about 9.5 hours. The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox EV changed the part of electric ownership people actually worry about. It now charges through a standard NACS port, which is the plug the largest public fast-charging network was built around. If you have been putting off an EV because charging looked like homework, this is the year that argument got a lot weaker. Quick Answer The 2027 Equinox EV has a standard NACS charging port 319 miles of EPA-estimated range front-wheel drive, 307 all-wheel drive About 9.5 hours for a full charge on a 240-volt home charger Up to 80 miles of range in about 10 minutes on public DC fast charging From $34,995 before destination So what actually changed? The plug. That is the whole headline, and it matters more than it sounds. Older electric Chevys used a different connector, which meant the biggest fast-charging network in the country needed an adapter. The 2027 Equinox EV comes with the NACS port as standard, so you pull up and plug in. Everything else about the way it charges is familiar: up to 80 miles of range in roughly ten minutes on public DC fast charging, and about 9.5 hours for a full battery on a 240-volt charger at home. The full detail is on our 2027 Equinox EV range and charging guide. How often would you really plug in around here? Less than you think. Run the numbers on an actual Northwest Arkansas week. A Bella Vista to Bentonville commute, the school run through Centerton, a Saturday out to Rogers and back. Most households here do not clear 200 miles in a week, and the Equinox EV carries an EPA-estimated 319 miles with front-wheel drive. That means a weekly plug-in at home, not a nightly ritual, and no fuel stops in between. If you are still weighing electric against gas, the honest comparison is on Equinox gas vs EV, which puts price, cargo and running cost side by side without picking a winner for you. What do you need in the garage? A 240-volt circuit. That is the same kind of outlet a clothes dryer uses, and it is what turns charging into something you stop thinking about. A regular household outlet does work as a backup and will add range slowly overnight, but it is a safety net rather than a plan. If you are not sure what your garage can take, bring it up when you come in. It is a short conversation and it is usually a smaller job than people expect. What about a road trip out of the region? On a 319-mile battery, Tulsa, Springfield or Little Rock is a one-stop trip at most, and often no stop at all in one direction. The NACS port is what makes that stop easy rather than a planning exercise, because you are no longer hunting for a specific brand of charger. Two honest caveats, and they apply to every EV: cold weather cuts range, and so do sustained grades like the I-49 climb south of Fayetteville. The answer is the one gas drivers already use. Leave with more than you think you need. Which Equinox EV should you look at? The LT 1 at $34,995 before destination is the one that carries the 319-mile figure, and it is far from basic: over 20 standard driver assistance features including Adaptive Cruise Control, and the 17.7-inch touchscreen. Step up to LT 2 for heated seats, heated wheel and wireless charging, or the RS for 21-inch wheels. The trim comparison walks all six 2027 Equinox configurations, gas and electric. If you want the whole picture in one place, start at the 2027 Equinox research hub, or go straight to the 2027 Equinox overview. Frequently asked questions Does the 2027 Chevrolet Equinox EV have a Tesla-style plug? Yes. For 2027 the Equinox EV has a standard NACS charging port, which reaches the largest public fast-charging network. How long does it take to charge the Equinox EV at home? About 9.5 hours for a full charge on a 240-volt charger, through the standard 11.5-kW onboard charging module. How far does a 2027 Equinox EV go on a charge? An EPA-estimated 319 miles with front-wheel drive and 307 miles with all-wheel drive. How long is the battery covered? 8 years or 100,000 miles on the battery and electric components. The routine servicing is light too, and the maintenance schedule lays out what an electric Equinox actually needs. How much does a 2027 Equinox EV cost? From $34,995 before a $1,800 destination charge, rising to $44,095 for the RS. Full figures are on the specs page. Come and drive one. We are at 2700 SE Moberly Ln in Bentonville, minutes off I-49, and we will happily work out on paper how often you would actually plug in. Call (479) 319-2494 or browse Equinox EV inventory.

The RS is the trim most 2027 Equinox shoppers here are driving off in. The 2027 Chevrolet Equinox RS starts at $33,900 before destination, runs the 1.5L Turbo four with 175 horsepower and an eight-speed automatic, and returns an EPA-estimated 27 mpg combined with front-wheel drive. It is the blacked-out version of the Equinox, and it is the trim we stock deepest right now. If you are shopping in Rogers, Springdale or Fayetteville and you want an Equinox you can drive home this week rather than order and wait, the RS is the one to come and look at. Here is what is on the ground, what the trim actually gives you over the LT, and who it suits. If you want the whole model first, the 2027 Equinox overview covers both powertrains in one read. Quick Answer 2027 Equinox RS from $33,900 before a $1,995 destination charge 1.5L Turbo, 175 hp, eight-speed automatic 25 city / 29 highway / 27 combined mpg, front-wheel drive All-wheel drive adds $2,000 The RS is the deepest-stocked 2027 Equinox trim on our lot What is in stock Most of the 2027 Equinox inventory on our lot is RS, with LT alongside it. That matters if you are cross-shopping in Springdale or Fayetteville, because it means colour and equipment choice rather than a single car and a take-it-or-leave-it conversation. Every one runs the same 1.5L Turbo four at 175 horsepower with the eight-speed automatic, and that eight-speed is a 2027 change worth knowing: it is now standard on front-wheel drive as well as all-wheel drive. Front-wheel drive is standard; all-wheel drive is a $2,000 option, and the full specifications carry every figure with its source. Browse what is on the lot on the Equinox inventory page. What the RS does well It looks considerably more expensive than it is. Black mirrors, black moldings, black emblems and black badging, a flat-bottom steering wheel, standard 19-inch wheels with 20-inch machined wheels available, and an available two-tone black roof. Park one next to a base compact SUV and the difference reads from across the lot. Cargo is unchanged at 29.8 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 63.5 folded, which the cargo and interior guide turns into what actually fits. Underneath, it is the sensible Equinox everyone already knows. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are standard, as is the 11.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in. More than 15 standard driver assistance features come along, including the six-feature Chevy Safety Assist package, which is the set that does the work on the I-49 stop-and-go between Rogers and Fayetteville; the technology and safety guide goes through each one. 400 miles of range on a 14.8-gallon tank means the Springdale commute goes most of two weeks between fill-ups. Honest trade-offs The RS is a styling trim, not a capability trim. The engine, transmission and towing are identical to the LT, so if you want more than 175 horsepower, no Equinox trim gives it to you. Towing is 1,500 pounds properly equipped across the range, and running costs are the same too, which the maintenance schedule lays out. The ACTIV costs exactly the same $33,900 and spends the money differently, on all-terrain tires and a uniquely tuned suspension. If your weekends involve gravel county roads or a boat ramp rather than pavement, take a look at that one instead. And 19- or 20-inch wheels ride firmer than smaller ones do. If you are also weighing the electric one, gas vs EV settles that honestly. The full trim comparison puts all six 2027 configurations side by side. Who this configuration is for Buy the RS if you want the sharpest-looking Equinox on the school run in Rogers or Springdale, you are covering paved miles rather than gravel, and you want heated seats, a heated wheel and the big screen without stepping into a bigger, thirstier SUV. More questions are answered on the Equinox FAQ page. Look at the ACTIV instead if your driving includes unpaved surfaces, or the LT at $33,900 less the styling package if the look is not what you are paying for. Add the $2,000 all-wheel drive if the Ozark ice storms are a yearly worry; EPA combined moves from 27 to 26 mpg. See it, drive it We are at 2700 SE Moberly Ln in Bentonville, a short run up I-49 from Rogers, Springdale and Fayetteville, and an easy drive from Siloam Springs. Come and drive an RS back to back with an ACTIV; the two are the same price and settling that question takes about twenty minutes. Call (479) 319-2494, browse 2027 Equinox inventory, get pre-approved before you come in, or book a test drive. Everything we have published on the model sits in the 2027 Equinox research hub. Frequently asked questions How much is a 2027 Chevy Equinox RS? From $33,900 before a $1,995 destination charge, or $35,900 with all-wheel drive. What is the difference between the Equinox RS and LT? Styling, not mechanics. The RS adds black exterior trim, a flat-bottom steering wheel, 19-inch wheels with a 20-inch option and standard roof rails. Both use the same 175-horsepower 1.5L Turbo and eight-speed automatic. What gas mileage does the 2027 Equinox RS get? An EPA-estimated 25 mpg city, 29 highway and 27 combined with front-wheel drive, and 26 combined with all-wheel drive. Do you have 2027 Equinox models in stock near Rogers? Yes, and the RS is the trim we hold deepest. Check current stock on the Equinox inventory page or call (479) 319-2494. Can I finance a 2027 Equinox before I visit? Yes.

Quick answer: the two 2026 Trailblazer engines The standard 1.2L turbo three-cylinder makes 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft through a CVT, and is EPA-rated 30 city / 31 highway / 30 combined in front-wheel drive. The available 1.3L turbo three-cylinder makes 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft, and in front-wheel drive it is rated 29 city / 33 highway / 31 combined, so it is both stronger and better on the highway. The 1.3L is a $395 option, and it is the only route to all-wheel drive, which comes with a nine-speed automatic instead of the CVT and is rated 26 / 29 / 27. Four trims, LS, LT, RS and ACTIV, from $23,300 before a $1,795 destination charge, with 25.3 cubic feet of cargo behind the rear seats and 54.4 with them folded. George Nunnally Chevrolet stocks both engines in Bentonville. Call (479) 319-2494. If you are pricing a 2026 Chevrolet Trailblazer for an NWA drive, the engine line on the order sheet is doing more work than its $395 suggests. It is not just a power upgrade: it changes the transmission you can have, the fuel economy you get, and whether all-wheel drive is on the table at all. Here is what each one gives you and which drive suits which. The Trailblazer research hub has every page in one place. See Every 2026 Trailblazer in Stock What does the standard 1.2L do well? City work, mostly, and it does it efficiently. The 1.2L turbocharged three-cylinder makes 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft, drives the front wheels through a CVT, and EPA-rates at 30 city / 31 highway / 30 combined ( fueleconomy.gov). That 30 city figure is the standout. If your week is short hops around town, school runs and the odd trip up the business route, the standard engine is genuinely the right one and it keeps the entry price at $23,300 before the $1,795 destination charge. The model overview is the fastest way to see the whole car. What does the $395 1.3L add for an NWA drive? Three things at once. Power goes to 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft, which is the difference you feel merging onto I-49. Highway economy goes up rather than down: 29 city / 33 highway / 31 combined in front-wheel drive, so the longer your commute, the more the upgrade pays back at the pump. And it opens the door to all-wheel drive, which the 1.2L does not offer. If your drive is the I-49 run between Bentonville and Fayetteville, or the daily out to XNA, the 1.3L is the one to have. The specs and dimensions page carries the full engineering detail. Is all-wheel drive worth having in NWA? For a lot of buyers here, yes, and it brings more than traction with it. All-wheel drive pairs the 1.3L with a nine-speed automatic in place of the CVT, which is a different character on the road, and it is rated 26 city / 29 highway / 27 combined. Ozark winters here are more about ice and freezing rain than deep snow, and that is precisely the condition where power to all four wheels earns its place on an on-ramp. All-wheel drive adds $2,000 on the LS and LT and $1,600 on the RS and ACTIV. The trims comparison shows what each rung includes before you add anything. Does the engine change anything else about the car? Not the practical parts. Every 2026 Trailblazer seats five, holds 25.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 54.4 with them folded, and carries an 11-inch infotainment screen as standard, which is a bigger display than the class norm. The body is the same 174.1 inches long on a 104.0-inch wheelbase either way, and 71.2 inches wide without mirrors, so it parks the same in a Bentonville Square space. Towing is the one capability line worth reading carefully: the Trailblazer is rated at 1,000 pounds properly equipped with the available trailering package, in either front- or all-wheel drive. That covers a small utility trailer, not a camper. Browse Trailblazer AWD Inventory Schedule a Test Drive How it stacks up, and where to buy in NWA Two comparisons answer most of the cross-shopping. The Trailblazer versus Equinox page is the one to read if you are weighing a step up in size, the Trailblazer versus Trax page covers the smaller sibling, and the Trailblazer versus Buick Encore GX page covers the closest relative in the family. Come drive both engines back to back. We are at 2700 SE Moberly Ln, minutes from I-49, and ten minutes in each is the fastest way to know whether the upgrade is yours. On upkeep, the Trailblazer carries a 3-year / 36,000-mile basic warranty and 5 years or 60,000 miles on the powertrain, with roadside assistance and courtesy transportation over the same term; the maintenance schedule has the service intervals. When you are ready, value your trade or get pre-approved. 2026 Trailblazer engine questions How much is the 1.3L engine upgrade? $395. It takes output from 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft to 155 horsepower and 174 lb-ft, and it is required for all-wheel drive. Which engine gets better fuel economy? It depends on the drive. EPA rates the 1.2L front-drive at 30 city / 31 highway / 30 combined and the 1.3L front-drive at 29 / 33 / 31, so the 1.2L leads in town and the 1.3L leads on the highway and on the combined figure. Can I get all-wheel drive with the standard engine? All-wheel drive is offered with the 1.3L and the nine-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive with the 1.2L uses a CVT. What does all-wheel drive cost? $2,000 on the LS and LT, and $1,600 on the RS and ACTIV. What fuel economy does all-wheel drive return? EPA estimates 26 city / 29 highway / 27 combined with the 1.3L and the nine-speed automatic. How much cargo does a Trailblazer hold? 25.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 54.4 cubic feet with them folded, with seating for five throughout. Can a Trailblazer tow? Up to 1,000 pounds properly equipped with the available trailering package, in either front- or all-wheel drive. How is it covered? Three years or 36,000 miles basic, five years or 60,000 miles powertrain, six years or 100,000 miles against rust-through, and five years or 60,000 miles of roadside assistance with courtesy transportation.

Pricing is starting MSRP and excludes tax, title, license and dealer fees; the destination freight charge is stated separately and the dealer sets the final price.

Every trim seats five and holds 25.6 cubic feet behind the rear seats, 54.1 with them folded, on a 178.6-inch body. The lineup opens at $21,700. George Nunnally Chevrolet stocks the Trax in Bentonville. Call (479) 319-2494. Here is the thing about the 2026 Chevrolet Trax that catches NWA shoppers out at the lot: five trims, three prices. The 1RS and LT are both $23,200 to start, and the 2RS and ACTIV are both $25,400, so at two of the three rungs the question is not how much to spend but which version of the same money you want. We keep both pairs on the ground, so this is a decision you can settle standing between two cars. The Trax research hub has every page if you want the full picture. See Every 2026 Trax in Stock What you get for $23,200 either way The same car underneath. Both the 1RS and the LT run the 1.2L turbocharged three-cylinder at 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft through a six-speed automatic, front-wheel drive, EPA-rated at 28 city / 32 highway / 30 combined ( fueleconomy.gov). Both seat five on a 60/40 split-folding rear bench. What separates them is where the money went. The 1RS brings 18-inch alloy wheels and heated front seats as standard. The LT brings 17-inch alloys, push-button start, remote start and the option of adaptive cruise control. Style on one side, daily convenience on the other, at an identical starting price of $23,200 before the $1,795 destination charge. The all-trims comparison lays the whole ladder out. Which one suits an NWA week? Remote start decides it for a lot of people here. Ozark winters run to ice and freezing rain more than deep snow, and a car that is already defrosted when you reach the driveway is a real daily comfort from December through February. That is the LT. If your driving is mostly Bentonville Square, the Greenway trailheads and a short run to work, the heated seats and the 18-inch wheels on the 1RS are the ones you notice every day instead. Neither is the better car; they are two different answers to the same budget. The model overview is the plain-language starting point if you are new to the Trax. And at $25,400: 2RS or ACTIV? The same shape of decision one rung up. The 2RS wears 19-inch alloy wheels, the largest in the lineup, and the ACTIV wears 18-inch black alloys with a more rugged treatment. Both add push-button start and heated front seats as standard over the entry car, and both can be had with adaptive cruise control. The ACTIV is the one to look at if a power driver's seat matters, since a power-adjustable driver's seat is standard on that trim. Beyond that the pair is a styling choice, and the specs and dimensions page confirms that the mechanical package does not change across the range. What every Trax gives you in NWA More room than the price suggests. Cargo runs 25.6 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 54.1 cubic feet with them folded, and rear-seat passengers get 38.7 inches of legroom, which is what makes this a usable back seat rather than a token one. The body is 178.6 inches long on a 106-inch wheelbase and 71.8 inches wide without mirrors, so it parks easily downtown. The fuel tank is 13.2 gallons, which at 30 combined is a long way between stops for a commute. The cargo and interior page has the space broken down properly, and the Trax versus Buick Envista comparison covers the closest relative if you are cross-shopping inside the family. Browse Trax 1RS and LT in Stock Schedule a Test Drive Seeing them side by side in NWA Park the two next to each other and it takes about five minutes. We are at 2700 SE Moberly Ln in Bentonville, a couple of minutes off I-49, and because the 1RS and LT are the same money we tend to have both on the lot at once, which is the whole point of coming in rather than deciding from a configurator. Coming from further south? We keep a page for Trax buyers near Springdale and Fayetteville with directions and local inventory. On ownership, the Trax carries a 3-year / 36,000-mile basic warranty, 5 years or 60,000 miles on the powertrain and one included maintenance visit in the first 12 months covering an oil and filter change, a multi-point inspection and a four-tire rotation; the maintenance schedule has the ongoing intervals. When you are ready, value your trade or get pre-approved. 2026 Trax trim questions Do the 1RS and LT really cost the same? Yes. Both start at $23,200 before the $1,795 destination charge. The 2RS and ACTIV likewise both start at $25,400, and the LS opens the range at $21,700. What does the 1RS add that the LT does not? 18-inch alloy wheels and heated front seats as standard, where the LT runs 17-inch alloys. What does the LT add that the 1RS does not? Push-button start, remote start, and the availability of adaptive cruise control. Is the engine different between trims? No. Every 2026 Trax uses the 1.2L turbocharged three-cylinder, 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft, with a six-speed automatic and front-wheel drive. What fuel economy does it get? EPA estimates 28 city / 32 highway / 30 combined, from a 13.2-gallon tank. How much cargo space is there? 25.6 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 54.1 cubic feet with the 60/40 split-folding rear bench down, with seating for five. Which trim has a power driver's seat? The ACTIV, which has a power-adjustable driver's seat as standard. What does the warranty cover? Three years or 36,000 miles basic, five years or 60,000 miles powertrain and roadside assistance with courtesy transportation, six years or 100,000 miles against rust-through, and one included maintenance visit in the first 12 months.

By the George Nunnally Chevrolet team · Published August 13, 2026 Quick answer: the two four-wheel-drive systems in the 2026 Colorado The WT, Custom and LT are rear-wheel drive with four-wheel drive optional, and that system is single-speed: no low range. The Trail Boss, Z71 and ZR2 come with four-wheel drive standard and a two-speed transfer case, which is where low range lives. Every 2026 Colorado uses the same 2.7L TurboMax turbo four-cylinder: 310 horsepower, 430 lb-ft, eight-speed automatic. The trim decision is about hardware under the truck, not power. Trailering, properly equipped, is 7,700 pounds on the WT, LT, Trail Boss and Z71, and 6,000 pounds on the ZR2. Six trims, $32,400 to $50,700 before a $2,095 destination charge. George Nunnally Chevrolet keeps both systems in stock. Call (479) 319-2494. If you are shopping a 2026 Chevrolet Colorado in NWA, the four-wheel-drive question is really two questions, and most buyers only ask the first. Yes, you can get four-wheel drive on any trim. No, it is not the same system on every trim, and the difference is a low-range gear that three of the six trims have and three do not. Here is what that changes, and which one your driving actually calls for. The Colorado research hub has the full set of pages if you want to browse first. See Every 2026 Colorado in Stock What does low range actually do? A two-speed transfer case adds a second, much shorter gear set. In low range the engine turns far more times for every turn of the wheels, which multiplies torque and lets the truck creep at walking pace with the brakes barely involved. That is what you want easing a boat trailer down a wet ramp, climbing a loose gravel pitch, or crawling over something. Single-speed four-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels but keeps one gear ratio. It is genuinely useful on a slick road, a muddy field entrance or an iced-over morning, and it is the system most buyers here need. It is simply not a crawling tool. The full specifications page lists the drivetrain by trim if you want to confirm what a given truck on the lot has. Which 2026 Colorado trims get it in NWA? Three of six. The Work Truck, Custom and LT are rear-wheel drive as standard with four-wheel drive available, and that optional system is single-speed with no low range. The Trail Boss, Z71 and ZR2 are four-wheel drive standard and carry the two-speed transfer case. That maps cleanly onto price. The WT opens at $32,400, Custom at $33,545 and LT at $36,000, all before the $2,095 destination charge. The Trail Boss, at $40,500, is the first rung with low range, then Z71 at $44,600 and ZR2 at $50,700. The all-trims comparison puts every rung side by side, and the model overview is the plain-language version. Is single-speed four-wheel drive enough for NWA roads? For most people here, yes. The county gravel between Centerton and the Beaver Lake arms, a wet grass field entrance, an ice-glazed I-49 on-ramp in January: all of that is traction, and traction is what single-speed four-wheel drive is for. An LT with the four-wheel-drive option covers a Northwest Arkansas year comfortably. The line moves when you launch a boat. Prairie Creek Recreation Area and the other Beaver Lake ramps off AR-12 get slick and steep, and backing a loaded trailer down one is exactly the job low range was built for, especially with the truck's Terrain mode, which is set up for steep hills and crawling and can apply the brakes itself for climbing control. If your weekends look like that, start at the Trail Boss. The ZR2 and Trail Boss page covers the hardware in detail, and the towing and payload page has the trailer ratings: 7,700 pounds properly equipped on the WT, LT, Trail Boss and Z71, and 6,000 pounds on the ZR2. What stays the same across every trim? The powertrain, which is unusual and makes this decision cleaner than it looks. Every 2026 Colorado runs the 2.7L TurboMax turbo four-cylinder at 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft through an eight-speed automatic, on regular 87-octane unleaded. One engine across the whole lineup means nobody trades power for gearing when they step up. The body is common too: crew cab only, with the 5-foot short bed and seating for five. Every trim gets the 11.3-inch touchscreen with Google built-in, an 11-inch digital driver display, Chevy Safety Assist, blind-spot monitoring and front and rear cross-traffic alert. The bed carries a mid-position tailgate rated to support 500 pounds, a built-in measurement tool and cargo bed lighting, with a 120-volt outlet available. Fuel economy does move with drivetrain: EPA estimates are 19 city / 24 highway / 21 combined for a 2WD WT, Custom or LT, 17 / 22 / 19 with four-wheel drive, and 17 / 17 / 17 for the ZR2 ( fueleconomy.gov). What the off-road trims change beyond the transfer case Ride height and grip, mostly. The Trail Boss adds a 2-inch factory lift on top of the two-speed case. The ZR2 goes further with a 3-inch lift, 33-inch all-terrain tires on 17-inch wheels, Multimatic DSSV dampers and electronic locking differentials front and rear, which is why its trailer rating sits lower than the rest of the range: it is tuned for a different job. Cross-shopping the segment? We keep the head-to-heads current against the Toyota Tacoma, the Ford Ranger and the GMC Canyon, which shares this truck's bones. Browse Trail Boss and Z71 Stock Schedule a Test Drive Buying a Colorado in NWA Drive both before you decide. We are at 2700 SE Moberly Ln, a couple of minutes off I-49, and we stock the LT and the Trail Boss alongside each other precisely because this is the question people arrive with. Ten minutes in each answers it faster than any spec sheet, and the step from LT to Trail Boss is smaller than most buyers expect once the four-wheel-drive option is priced into the LT. Bring your trailer if the ramp is the reason you are asking. Prefer to read in Spanish? Lea precio y versiones. When you are ready, value your trade or get pre-approved before you come in. 2026 Colorado four-wheel-drive questions Does every 2026 Colorado offer four-wheel drive? Yes, but in two forms. The WT, Custom and LT offer it as a single-speed option over standard rear-wheel drive. The Trail Boss, Z71 and ZR2 have four-wheel drive standard with a two-speed transfer case. Which is the cheapest Colorado with low range? The Trail Boss, at $40,500 before the $2,095 destination charge. It also brings a 2-inch factory lift. Is there more than one engine? No. Every 2026 Colorado uses the 2.7L TurboMax turbo four-cylinder, rated 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft with an eight-speed automatic, and it runs on regular 87-octane unleaded. How much can a Colorado tow? 7,700 pounds properly equipped on the WT, LT, Trail Boss and Z71, and 6,000 pounds on the ZR2. What fuel economy should I expect with four-wheel drive? EPA estimates 17 city / 22 highway / 19 combined for a four-wheel-drive Colorado, against 19 / 24 / 21 for a 2WD WT, Custom or LT. Your figures will vary with driving. Does the Colorado come in anything other than a crew cab? Not for 2026. The lineup is crew cab only with the 5-foot short bed, seating five, and the truck measures 214 inches long and 84.4 inches wide including the mirrors. What does the warranty and first service look like? Three years or 36,000 miles basic and five years or 60,000 miles on the powertrain. The maintenance and reliability page has the service intervals. How did it do in crash testing? NHTSA gives the 2026 Colorado four out of five stars overall, and the rating is the same for rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive versions. Where can I ask something not covered here? The Colorado FAQ page answers the common ones, or call (479) 319-2494 and we will check a specific truck for you. Pricing is starting MSRP and excludes tax, title, license and dealer fees; the destination freight charge is stated separately above and the dealer sets the final price. Trailering figures are maximums for a properly equipped vehicle and vary by configuration and equipment. Fuel-economy figures are EPA estimates and will vary with driving.

Regular engine maintenance is the most effective way to protect the longevity and efficiency of your vehicle. For the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, maintaining the 5.3L V8 or the 3.0L Turbo-Diesel requires adhering to specific manufacturer intervals to ensure the internal components remain lubricated and cool. Under normal driving conditions, we recommend an oil and filter change every 7,500 miles or 12 months. However, many drivers in Bentonville frequently engage in "severe service" activities, such as towing trailers to the Ozark foothills or navigating frequent stop-and-go traffic near the corporate campuses downtown. In these cases, the interval should be shortened to 3,750 miles or 6 months to prevent oil breakdown and engine wear. Our team utilizes the latest diagnostic tools to reset your oil-life monitoring system and ensure your vehicle is ready for the road. Whether you are driving a family-ready 2026 Chevrolet Suburban or a fuel-efficient 2026 Chevrolet Malibu, our technicians provide a comprehensive certified oil change service that meets every factory requirement. We also specialize in heavy-duty maintenance for the new Silverado 2500HD and the Silverado 3500HD, ensuring these workhorses can handle high-torque demands without compromise. If you are noticing a drop in fuel efficiency or your dashboard light has appeared, you can schedule a service appointment online to have our experts take a look. Beyond standard trucks, we provide specialized care for the new Chevrolet Tahoe and the three-row Chevrolet Traverse, along with compact options like the new Trax and the 2026 Equinox. For those who have made the switch to electric, we offer maintenance for the new Blazer EV, while traditional performance enthusiasts can trust us with the Chevrolet Corvette or the Corvette Stingray. Even the high-performance Corvette ZR1 receives the precision care it deserves here. For more routine needs, we offer a certified brake inspection and tire rotations to keep your Chevrolet Blazer or new Colorado in peak condition. If you have questions about your specific model, feel free to give our service advisors (479) 319-2494 a quick call. You can also visit our service center at 2700 Se Moberly Ln, Bentonville, AR 72712 for a walk-around and a consultation on your maintenance schedule. We stock parts for the Chevrolet Colorado and the Silverado 3500 DRW to ensure your service is completed promptly and correctly. Table of Contents Full Synthetic vs Synthetic Blend: Choosing the Right Protection for Your Engine The Technical Advantage of OEM Filtration and Multi-Point Vehicle Inspections Comparing Dealership Expertise Against Independent Repair Shops in Northwest Arkansas Understanding Your Warranty and the Importance of Manufacturer-Approved Maintenance Quick Answers Regarding Your Next Chevrolet Service Visit Streamlined Scheduling and the Nunnally Buyer’s Advantage Service Experience Full Synthetic vs Synthetic Blend: Choosing the Right Protection for Your Engine Selecting the correct oil viscosity and type is vital for the modern direct-injection engines found in the current Chevrolet lineup. For the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and the 2026 Equinox, the manufacturer specifies the use of Dexos1 5W-30 engine oil. This specific formulation is designed to resist thermal breakdown and prevent the buildup of sludge in high-pressure environments. While synthetic blend oils offer a baseline level of protection, full synthetic oil provides superior lubrication during cold starts and high-temperature operation, which is particularly beneficial for the hilly terrain around Rogers. The primary advantage of full synthetic oil is its uniform molecular structure, which reduces friction more effectively than conventional or blended options. This leads to better fuel economy and a cleaner engine over time. For owners of one-owner Chevrolet vehicles, maintaining a consistent record of synthetic oil changes is one of the best ways to preserve resale value and mechanical integrity. The 1.5L I4 turbocharged engine in the Equinox, for example, relies on clean, high-quality oil to keep the turbocharger bearings properly lubricated and functioning at peak efficiency. Using non-approved oils that do not meet the Dexos1 standard can lead to increased engine deposits and may even impact your powertrain coverage. Our team exclusively uses high-grade lubricants that meet or exceed these factory specifications. We focus on providing a transparent service experience where we explain exactly why a certain oil type is recommended for your specific driving habits, whether you are a daily commuter or an outdoor adventurer hauling gear on the weekends. The Technical Advantage of OEM Filtration and Multi-Point Vehicle Inspections A high-quality oil change is only as good as the filter used to keep the new lubricant clean. We utilize ACDelco oil filters that are engineered specifically for Chevrolet engines, featuring a high-efficiency media that captures smaller contaminants than many generic aftermarket filters. For the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, using the correct filter ensures that the oil pressure remains within the required range, protecting the variable valve timing components. If you prefer to handle minor maintenance yourself, you can order genuine Chevy parts through our department to ensure you have the exact components your vehicle requires. Every oil change at our facility includes a Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection (MPVI). This is a technical deep dive where our certified technicians assess the health of your vehicle’s most critical systems. We check the following: Battery state of charge and terminal condition Tire tread depth and wear patterns Brake pad thickness and rotor surface integrity Fluid levels for coolant, transmission, and windshield washer systems Visible signs of leaks or belt wear This proactive approach allows us to identify potential issues before they lead to a breakdown. For example, a technician might notice uneven tire wear that indicates an alignment is needed, or a battery that is nearing the end of its reliable life. Even for the new Chevy Bolt, which does not require traditional oil changes, these regular inspections are essential for monitoring the cooling system and tire health. By documenting these inspections in the GM digital service history, we help you stay ahead of the maintenance curve. Comparing Dealership Expertise Against Independent Repair Shops in Northwest Arkansas While independent repair shops are common throughout Northwest Arkansas, they often lack the specialized training and model-specific tools found at a certified dealership. Our technicians undergo rigorous, ongoing training from the manufacturer to stay updated on the latest engineering changes, such as the nuances of the 3.0L Turbo-Diesel engine or the advanced electronics in the 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. An independent shop may use a one-size-fits-all approach, whereas we apply specific technical bulletins and software updates that are only available through the Chevrolet network. The equipment we use is another significant differentiator. We employ factory-grade diagnostic computers that can communicate with every module in your vehicle, allowing for precise troubleshooting that generic scanners might miss. When you visit us for service, your maintenance is recorded in the official GM database. This provides a "paperless" trail of care that can be accessed by any Chevrolet dealer in the country, ensuring your service history is always verifiable and complete. In a community like Springdale, where many residents rely on their vehicles for both professional and family duties, the reliability of a certified service center provides peace of mind. We use only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, meaning the replacement components are identical to the ones installed when your vehicle was built. Independent shops often rely on third-party parts that may not meet the same strict tolerances for fit and durability, potentially leading to premature failure or reduced performance. Understanding Your Warranty and the Importance of Manufacturer-Approved Maintenance Maintaining your vehicle according to the factory schedule is essential for protecting your warranty coverage. The 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and 2026 Equinox come with a basic 3 years / 36,000 miles bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 5 years / 60,000 miles powertrain warranty. To keep these protections in force, you must use fluids and parts that meet the manufacturer's specifications. Using a non-approved oil that causes engine damage could lead to a warranty claim being denied, as the failure would be attributed to improper maintenance rather than a manufacturing defect. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, you have the right to have your vehicle serviced at any reputable shop without automatically voiding your warranty. However, you must keep meticulous records and ensure the shop uses the correct Dexos1 oil and OEM-equivalent filters. Many owners find that bringing their vehicle to us simplifies this process, as we automatically maintain all records and always use the exact products required by the factory. Beyond the standard coverage, Chevrolet also provides rust-through protection 6 years / 100,000 miles and 5 years / 60,000 miles of roadside assistance. Our technicians are trained to spot early signs of corrosion or mechanical fatigue that could be addressed under warranty, saving you money in the long run. We prioritize your vehicle's safety and reliability, ensuring that every service visit contributes to a worry-free ownership experience. Quick Answers Regarding Your Next Chevrolet Service Visit Our service and parts department receives many questions from local drivers about how to best care for their vehicles. We believe in providing straightforward, technical answers to help you make informed decisions about your maintenance. Q: Does using full synthetic oil allow me to wait longer between oil changes? While full synthetic oil provides better protection, you should still follow the oil-life monitoring system or the 7,500-mile maximum interval. The oil-life monitor accounts for engine revolutions, temperature, and driving habits to determine when the oil has lost its effectiveness. Extending the interval beyond the manufacturer's recommendation can lead to internal engine deposits regardless of the oil type used. Q: What is the difference between a standard oil change and a "severe service" oil change? A severe service oil change occurs at a 3,750-mile interval and is required for vehicles that experience heavy idling, frequent short trips under 10 miles, or consistent towing. These conditions prevent the engine from reaching full operating temperature for long periods, which can lead to moisture and fuel dilution in the oil. We recommend this shorter interval for many work trucks and delivery vehicles in the area. Q: Do I need to bring my own oil and filter to the dealership? No, we stock the exact Dexos1 5W-30 synthetic oil and ACDelco filters required for your Chevrolet. Our parts are sourced directly from the manufacturer to ensure they meet the specific technical requirements of your engine. Using our in-house supplies also ensures that your service is fully documented for warranty purposes. Q: Will I be notified if there is a recall on my vehicle during an oil change? Yes, every time your vehicle is checked into our system, we automatically scan for any open safety recalls or technical service bulletins. If a recall is found, we can often perform the necessary repairs during the same visit, ensuring your vehicle remains safe and up to date without requiring a separate trip. Streamlined Scheduling and the Nunnally Buyer’s Advantage Service Experience We strive to make vehicle maintenance as convenient as possible for our neighbors. With every vehicle purchase, our customers receive the Nunnally Buyer's Advantage Program. This exclusive benefit includes a free 3-year maintenance plan that covers your oil and oil filter changes, tire rotations, and multi-point inspections for the first three years of ownership.

Corvette Buyer's Guide By the team at George Nunnally Chevrolet · Bentonville, AR · Updated July 12, 2026 For most Northwest Arkansas drivers, the 2026 Chevrolet Corvette to buy is the all-wheel-drive E-Ray or the everyday Stingray that starts at $70,000 — the E-Ray if you want to drive year-round, the Stingray if you want the classic rear-drive car for the lowest price. The full 2026 lineup runs five models, from the 490-hp Stingray to the 1,250-hp ZR1X, and you can see or order every one at George Nunnally Chevrolet. This guide covers which Corvette fits which kind of driving here, what each one costs, and how to buy or order one at 2700 SE Moberly Ln, Bentonville — or call us at (479) 319-2494. For the full research set, start with our 2026 Corvette research hub. The Short Version The 2026 Corvette comes in five models: Stingray (490 hp, from $70,000), E-Ray (655 hp, all-wheel drive), Z06 (670 hp), ZR1 (1,064 hp) and ZR1X (1,250 hp). Best year-round pick for Northwest Arkansas: the E-Ray, the only all-wheel-drive Corvette, with all-season tires standard. Best value and entry point: the Stingray, the rear-drive car that opens the lineup at $70,000. New for 2027: the Grand Sport X, a 721-hp hybrid that replaces the E-Ray, is in stock now. Where to buy: George Nunnally Chevrolet, 2700 SE Moberly Ln, Bentonville, AR, (479) 319-2494. On this page: Which Corvette fits your driving · Driving one in the Ozarks · Cost and how to buy · New 2027 Grand Sport X · Which one should you buy · FAQs Which 2026 Corvette Fits Your Kind of Driving Every 2026 Corvette is a two-seat, mid-engine car built in Bowling Green, Kentucky, but they aim at very different drivers. If you want one car to enjoy on weekends and still drive to work, the 490-hp Stingray is the natural starting point. If you would rather not park the car the moment the weather turns, the E-Ray is the only Corvette with all-wheel drive and all-season tires, which makes it the most usable across the calendar here. Above those two sit the track and flagship cars. The Z06 revs its naturally aspirated 5.5L V8 to 670 horsepower for the driver chasing lap times; the ZR1 twin-turbocharges that engine to 1,064 horsepower; and the ZR1X adds an electric front axle for 1,250 combined horsepower, the most powerful Corvette ever. To line all five up side by side on power, drivetrain and price, use our Corvette models compared breakdown. Driving a Corvette in the Ozarks What makes a Corvette worth owning here is the road. A Saturday run out AR-12, the Scenic Highway 12 toward Beaver Lake, is exactly the kind of tight, rolling two-lane that rewards a mid-engine chassis, and the Ozark backroads ask more of a car than flat-country cruising ever does. That is the case for the Stingray or the Z06, which are pure rear-drive cars at their best on dry pavement. Winters here arrive as glaze and freezing rain more than deep snow, and that is precisely where an all-wheel-drive sports car stops being a novelty. The E-Ray's front electric motor and standard all-season tires let it find grip on a cold, wet morning that would sideline a rear-drive Corvette, so if you want to drive the car most of the year rather than store it, it is the one to look at. Inside, every 2026 Corvette shares an all-new cockpit built to handle long, humid summers; you can read the full rundown on our Corvette technology and interior page. What a 2026 Corvette Costs and How to Buy One Starting prices below are for the coupe and exclude destination; each model is also offered as a convertible. For every figure, sourced and dated, see the specs and dimensions page, or the full 2026 Corvette overview. Model Starting MSRP Best for Stingray $70,000 The value entry and everyday pick E-Ray $108,600 All-weather, year-round driving Z06 $117,700 Track days and a high-revving V8 ZR1 $182,000 Top speed and the most powerful gas Corvette ZR1X $207,100 The all-wheel-drive flagship Corvette allocation is limited, so many buyers order the exact color, model and drivetrain they want rather than wait for one to land. We can help you build an order or find one in stock, and handle the money side in-house: get pre-approved, estimate a payment, explore financing, or value your trade before you visit. New for 2027: The Grand Sport X Is in Stock Now There is one more Corvette worth knowing about before you buy. For 2027 the E-Ray steps aside and the Corvette Grand Sport X takes its place as the electrified, all-wheel-drive model, now with an all-new LS6 V8 and 721 combined horsepower. There is no 2027 E-Ray. If an all-weather hybrid Corvette is what you are after, the Grand Sport X is the newest way to get one, and we have it on the ground now. Which Corvette Should You Buy?

View Corvette Inventory Schedule a Test Drive 2026 Chevrolet Corvette FAQs Which 2026 Corvette is best for daily driving in Northwest Arkansas? The E-Ray is the most practical for year-round use because it is the only all-wheel-drive Corvette and comes with all-season tires. The rear-drive Stingray is an excellent fair-weather daily driver and the best value at $70,000. How much does a 2026 Corvette cost? Coupe starting prices, before destination, are $70,000 for the Stingray, $108,600 for the E-Ray, $117,700 for the Z06, $182,000 for the ZR1 and $207,100 for the ZR1X. Convertibles cost more than the matching coupe. Is there an all-wheel-drive Corvette? Yes. The E-Ray is the first all-wheel-drive Corvette, a self-charging hybrid with no plug. For 2027 the Grand Sport X takes over that role with a new LS6 V8 and 721 combined horsepower. Can I order a Corvette instead of buying from stock? Yes. Because allocation is limited, many buyers order the exact model, color and drivetrain they want. Our team can place an order or locate an in-stock car, and start financing before you visit. Reach us through the Corvette questions page or by phone. What does it cost to maintain a Corvette? Ownership is mostly routine service plus tires and brakes, which wear faster on the track cars.

Here is how ordering works, how to reserve yours early, and how to spec the right one at George Nunnally Chevrolet in Bentonville.

TOC On this page When can you order? Factory order vs. dealer stock How to reserve yours, step by step How to spec the right one Tips to get yours sooner Common questions 1. WHEN Timing When Can You Order a 2027 Silverado 1500? Chevrolet revealed the redesigned 2027 Silverado 1500 on June 16, 2026 and expects it to go on sale by the end of 2026. Order banks and pricing are set to be announced later in the year, so the ordering window is expected to open in the second half of 2026, ahead of the first deliveries. You do not have to wait for that window to get started. The best move right now is to get on the interest list so we can contact you the moment ordering opens and your configuration can be locked in. Tell us what you are looking for and we will take it from there. For the full picture of the truck itself, see our 2027 Silverado 1500 research page, and for how it fits Chevrolet's wider 2027 rollout, our 2027 Chevy models roundup. 2. PATHS Two Ways to Buy Factory Order vs. Dealer Stock There are two ways to get a new Silverado, and the right one depends on how particular you are and how soon you need it. Factory order You build the exact truck you want, choosing trim, powertrain, cab and bed, color, and options. It takes longer, since the truck is built to your spec and shipped, but you get precisely what you want with nothing you do not. Best if you have specific must-haves. Dealer stock You pick from trucks already ordered and on the way or on the lot. It is faster and you can see exactly what you are getting, though the configuration is set. Best if you want your truck sooner and can be a little flexible. Not sure which path fits? We can walk you through both once you tell us your priorities. Factory ordering lets you choose your trim, from the off-road ZR2 to the luxury High Country. 3. STEPS The Process How to Reserve Your 2027 Silverado, Step by Step Get on the interest list. Tell us the trim and configuration you are after so we can prioritize your contact when ordering opens. Confirm your build when the order bank opens. We will finalize your exact spec with you, including trim, powertrain, cab and bed, color, and options. Place the order. Once your configuration is set and accepted, your order enters the production system. Track it to delivery. We will keep you updated as your truck is built and shipped, and we will let you know as it gets close. Take delivery your way. Pick it up in Bentonville or ask about delivery across Northwest Arkansas. Reservation and deposit terms can vary, so reach out to our team for the current specifics on securing your 2027 Silverado. 4. SPEC Building It How to Spec the Right 2027 Silverado When it is time to build your order, three choices drive most of the decision: Powertrain: the new 5.7L or 6.6L V8, the enhanced 2.7L TurboMax, or the 3.0L Duramax diesel, depending on whether you prioritize value, V8 power, or towing efficiency. Trim tier: work and value (Work Truck, Custom), everyday (Silverado), off-road (Custom Trail Boss, Trail Boss, ZR2), or luxury (High Country). Cab and bed: match the configuration to how you actually use the truck day to day. Want the full breakdown before you decide? Our key-features guide covers the trims, the engine guide breaks down the powertrains, and the 2027 Silverado 1500 research page pulls it all together. Ordering lets you choose your interior theme and tech right down to the details. 5. SOONER Get Ahead Tips to Get Your 2027 Silverado Sooner Get on the list early. Early production is usually limited, so timing your interest ahead of the order bank helps. Be flexible where you can. A little give on color or optional packages can mean an earlier build slot. Line up your financing now. Getting pre-approved ahead of time keeps things moving when your truck arrives. Value your trade early. Knowing your trade-in number in advance makes delivery day simple. If you would rather not wait at all, a 2026 Silverado 1500 is in stock now with published specs and pricing. You can research the 2026 Silverado 1500, see how the two model years compare in our 2027 vs 2026 comparison, or read what the redesign means for local drivers in our Northwest Arkansas guide.

FAQ Questions Ordering a 2027 Silverado: Common Questions When do order banks open for the 2027 Silverado 1500? Chevrolet has said availability and pricing will be announced later in 2026, ahead of the truck going on sale by the end of the year, so ordering is expected to open in the second half of 2026. Get on our interest list and we will notify you the moment it does. Can I put a deposit down to reserve a 2027 Silverado? Reservation and deposit terms vary, so the best step is to contact George Nunnally Chevrolet in Bentonville for the current details. Getting on our interest list now costs nothing and puts you in line for early ordering. Is it better to factory order or buy from dealer stock? Factory ordering gets you the exact configuration you want but takes longer. Buying from dealer stock is faster and lets you see the truck, though the configuration is already set. If you have specific must-haves, order; if you want it sooner, shop stock. How long does a factory order take? It varies with production and demand, and typically ranges from several weeks to a few months from when the order is accepted to delivery. We will give you a realistic timeline for your specific build and keep you updated along the way. What if I do not want to wait for a 2027? A 2026 Silverado 1500 is in stock now with published specs and pricing, and it is a great option if you need a truck sooner. We can help you compare it to the 2027 and pick the right move for you. 7.
