Chevrolet Colorado Excels Through Five Water Intrusion Tests

ST. LOUIS, Miss. – We don't mean to burst your bubble, but like it or not, the harsh winter weather will be here before we know it! Is your vehicle ready to take on what Mother Nature has in store? The 2015 Chevy Colorado sure is! With this incredible midsize pickup you won't have to worry about a thing when it comes to weather because the Chevrolet Colorado has Excelled Through Five Water Intrusion Tests! But what exactly do these tests entail? Don Brown Chevy is here to fill you in ––

1. The Dunk Tank: This is the newest of water tests! Inspired by the severe flooding that took place back in Thailand in 2011, the truck is driven into the tank as water floods up to the rocker panel –allowing engineers to test how the electrical wires and venting systems react.

2. The Universal Water Test: Driving through a torrential downpour? Have no fear! Using 330 nozzles and spraying over 3,000 liters of water per minute, this test determines the long-term durability of the truck, ensuring that there will never be water leaks.

3. Mist Test: Believe it or not, intense downpours are not the only condition that cause water leaks – a misty environment is a culprit as well! Mist can creep into areas of the vehicle which can cause a leak by having water wick through weatherstrips with low compression.

4. Deep Fording Trough Test: For our off-roading fans, this is an crucial test! A 15-meter deep fording trough simulates low treks through water – just like a stream. It protects against water intrusions that impact the transmission fluids and other components such as rear exhaust.

5. High-Pressure Sprayers: High pressure sprayers are used to test ports, power trail vent and fuel vent systems to ensure costumers won't damage components. This test allows Chevy to know that the truck can stay in tip-top shape no matter what the weather condition!

We know you depend on your vehicle to get to your expected destination safely, and since the Chevrolet Colorado has Excelled Through Five Water Intrusion Tests, you will always be ready to take on the storm! However, at Don Brown Chevrolet, safety is our #1 priority – so make sure to always stay tuned to the weather stations during severe conditions, and stay indoors when directed to do so!

Safety Tips for Halloween Trick Or Treating

ST. LOUIS, Miss. – With Halloween being only a week away, we know you're busy decorating pumpkins, figuring out costume details, and purchasing your favorite bag of candy. This boo-tiful holiday is a day that every child looks forward to year after year. Dressing up, and eating your favorite candy while being with friends and family, what's not to love? To make sure you're little pumpkins stay safe during the spookiest night of the year, it is important to talk about Safety Tips for Halloween Trick or Treating from our friends over at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

Safety Tips for Halloween Trick or Treating

• Be bright! It's important to choose a shiny, flame-resistant costume so that your child can be easily seen in the dark. If they insist on a costume that doesn't include these features, not to worry! Just add reflective tape and carry a flash light to get the same effect. 
• Create a trick or treating route that is in a lit, well-known neighborhood. Establishing the route only gets you half way there, make sure everyone sticks to it! 
• Always make sure young children are escorted by a trusted adult, and that older kids are always stick with a group. Even if everyone is familiar with the area, trick-or-treaters should never be alone!
• Be sure to always walk younger children to the door, and never let them enter the house unless an adult is with them. Many adults watch the children approach the house from the end of the drive way, but it only takes seconds for something to happen to them, so being close is essential!
• Same goes for cars – occupied or not, never let children approach a car unless you are with them.
• Basic pedestrian safety rules are also key for children to understand before the big night.  Halloween involves a lot of walking, so knowing these rules will help to keep them safe when strolling throughout the neighborhood.
• It's crucial to make sure that the children know their address, home phone number, and how to call 911. This is a fundamental safety rule that all children should be familiar with in the event that they need to handle an emergency situation on their own.
• Discuss the importance of remaining alert! Let your children know just how important it is the be aware of their surroundings, and that if they see anything suspicious to ALWAYS tell a trusted adult or law enforcement. 
• In addition to that, teach children that if anyone ever tries to get them to go anywhere to say"NO!" and to do their best to get away by screaming and kicking. As simple as it may sound, reviewing things like this with them before the big night will help to keep these reminders fresh in their heads.

Halloween safety is essential for enjoying this frightfully-fun night. Unfortunately, however, we know emergencies happen. In the event of a crisis, turn to your Chevrolet vehicle – with your OnStar subscription, you can push the red emergency button anytime to report information regarding an AMBER alert, or missing child.

Beneficial Tips for Traveling with a Pet

ST. LOUIS, Miss. – There's no question that dog is man's best friend. With this significant title to fulfill, we know most pet owners like to have their furry friends with them whenever possible – we feel the same way! Believe it or not, there was a study done last year that said more than half of Americans take their pet on vacation with them. With 62% of Americans being pet owners, it's a good thing these "pet friendly" places are becoming more and more popular. We know our pets are considered part of the family, so if you tend to travel with your pal, let us help you with our Beneficial Tips for Traveling with a Pet!

To ensure a great trip with your furry friend there are quite a few things to consider! One of the most important tips is to make sure your pet is up to date on all current vaccinations, and depending on where you’re headed, get additional vaccinations to protect against any possible threats. According to PAWS (Pets Are Worth Saving) Chicago, here are some other Beneficial Tips for Traveling with a Pet ––

• Make sure your pet's collar is always on and carry a picture of your pet with you – both of these are crucial incase you are separated, however, this is something that can be prevented by making sure they are always on a leash!
• When it comes to our pets and traveling, they all react differently. Some dogs and cats absolutely LOVE going in the car, while others shake and howl. It's important to know how your pet will respond before the big trip, so be to take a few test drives with them to prevent any problems the day of. This will also allow your pet to be familiar with the scent of the car and help them to feel more comfortable when it comes time to travel.
• Some states require you to restrain your pet with cargo carriers, but this is an important factor no matter what. You wouldn't let your child ride in the car without a seatbelt, right? Well, same goes for your pet! A cargo carrier will keep them safe in the event of an accident, as well as keeping them in the back seat to prevent any injuries if an airbag is deployed.
• Of course don't forget your pet's favorite part – snacks and water! Packing ice in place of water is something to consider. It is a little less messy, and licking it will keep them hydrated during warm weather road trips. Just like with your child, never leave your pet alone in a hot car. The car gets extremely hot, and FAST, which can lead to overheating in just a matter of minutes! 
• For cats, it's worth considering a portable liter box and scratching post. Both of these items will help to keep them at ease during those never-ending road trips – which is a big plus for you as well!

We want you and your buddy to have the best experience possible when traveling on the road together.

Chevrolet Announces 2015 Silverado Toughnology Concept

ST. LOUIS, Miss. – General Motors completely astounded us at the Texas State Fair with all the exciting new features they were releasing, but one of the biggest thrills happened to be when Chevrolet Announced the 2015 Toughnology Concept! What's Toughnology? Not only is it our new favorite word, but it's also a concept truck lovers will truly adore!

When it comes to the truck market, the competition is always high, which is why we were EXTREMELY proud when the 2014 Silverado was named the North American Truck of the Year! With this being said, it pushed Chevy automakers to continue to work hard to go above and beyond the already established concepts. So what's the next big thing? Well, we recently found out when Chevrolet Announced the 2015 Silverado Toughnology Concept! This concept has quality features that focus on the big things: capability, safety, and performance. This concept will give customers a truck that is made with high-strength steel, simulated raw steel appearance, and advanced connectivity resulting in a vehicle that is lighter, stronger, and more efficient than those made out of conventional carbon steel. Using this high-strength steel results in the pickup being up to 30% lighter than most and it is made out of a less expensive material, aluminum, which results in a lower overall  vehicle price. What's not to love?

It's hard to believe this ONE material has played such a large role in the performance of the Silverado! Check out these ratings – the EcotTec3 5.3L V-8 engine offers an EPA-estimated 23 mpg on the highway and maximum trailering capacity of 11,200 pounds, while the available 6.2L V-8 engine and eight-speed automatic transmission increases trailering capacity to 12,000 pounds!

Besides the pickup being dressed in a raw steel appearance with black accents, the 2015 Silverado Toughnology offers a variety of beneficial features: 

• Chevrolet Accessory 22-inch wheels mounted on off-road tires

• Chevrolet Accessories grille insert

• Tubular assist steps

• Soft, folding tonneau cover

• Washable carpet bedliner

• Fender flares

• Tinted headlamp lenses

• OnStar 4G LTE with built-in WiFi hotspot

• Wireless phone charging mat

• Performance exhaust system

• Upgraded performance brakes
  

Want to see this impressive truck for yourself? We don't blame you! Unfortunately, the new vehicle is not ready to hit the showroom just yet, but the rest of the University City Area New Chevrolet Trucks are just as impressive! Come check them out at Don Brown Chevy, one of the best Chevrolet Dealerships Serving Clayton MO! Don Brown Chevrolet is located at 2244 S.

During the Texas State Fair last week, these highly anticipated details were finally released! Chevrolet Announced the 2015 Tahoe & Suburban Z71 Features would be available this fall and would include improved capability, technology, and overall off-road experience!

When most people hear about the Z71 package they often think about the off-roading performance it provides. With the new models and package, Automakers have worked profusely to exceed the off-roaders typical expectations! As Chevrolet Announced the 2015 Tahoe & Suburban Z71 Features they expressed that the package will include off-road tires mounted on 18-inch wheels, a unique grille, a front skid plate, Z71 branding on the exterior and interior, fog lamps, front tow hooks, running boards, and last but not least, the ever helpful parking assistance!
