How the 2019 Chevy Equinox Meets Your Every Need
The Chevy Equinox is a mid-size SUV with lots to offer. It’s loaded with tons of technology to make your life a bit easier. You’ll also find other great features that make everyone a little safer or keep you entertained on long road trips. There’s certainly lots to love about the 2019 Equinox. Here are a few of the top features.
The Equinox Makes Everything More Convenient
Some features on the 2019 Equinox help make life more convenient. Accessing the cargo area has never been easier, for example. The hands-free liftgate can be opened with a wave of your foot, so even when you’re hauling a bunch of groceries or some luggage, accessing the cargo area is a piece of cake.
Similarly, the rear-view camera system is especially useful in the 2019 Equinox. Like most SUVs and larger vehicles, your rear vision can be impeded. The camera solves this issue with ease. The HD monitor not only displays the rear-view camera angle, but a simulated bird’s eye view is also projected on the console screen. This helps make parking in tight spaces a breeze.
Feature-Rich Infotainment System
Many new models are receiving updated consoles with touch screens and lots of amazing features. The console included with the 2019 Equinox is no exception. It’s equipped with the latest and greatest in-demand tech and entertainment features. Anyone with a device with wireless charging will love the optional wireless charging station.
Chevrolet’s robust entertainment system includes USB ports and Bluetooth device compatibility. Before you know it you’ll be a master of the cabin, controlling phone calls and music with just the sound of your voice. When it comes to music entertainment, the two big features to look for are Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The 2019 Equinox has both.
So you’ve got your brand new 2019 Silverado, now it’s time to personalize it your way – including hooking up your iPhone! The all-new 2019 Chevrolet Silverado brings along the new Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system where you can perform an array of tasks via phone connectivity. Here is how to connect your iPhone to the 2019 Chevy Silverado:
- Make sure your vehicle is in park, as the Bluetooth pairing process is disabled when the car is in motion.
- To use voice recognition, press the Press to Talk button; after the beep, say “Pair phone”; To pair via the infotainment menu screen, select the Phone icon, then select “Phones” then select “Pair Device or Search Device” to add your device
- From the phone’s Bluetooth settings, select the name shown on the infotainment screen.
- Follow the pairing instructions
- When pairing is complete, the phone screen will be displayed. Also depending on the phone, your phone book may be downloaded automatically when it pairs to the system
Now that you’ve paired your iPhone to your Chevy Silverado, you can enjoy a variety of tasks hands-free! This includes: make and answer calls, listen to text messages, access contact lists, select applications, music playlists and more! Furthermore, a secondary phone can be paired with the Bluetooth system, but the secondary phone can only receive calls. The Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system connects to the phone that is set to First to Connect. To set the first and secondary phones, go to Settings > System > Phones and select the Information icon.
The 2019 Chevrolet Silverado Infotainment 3 system can pair multiple compatible Bluetooth enabled devices to accommodate drivers using both the iOS and Android systems. You’ll also be able to use the Apple CarPlay & Android Auto apps when you connect your smartphone via USB cable!

How the 2019 Chevrolet Spark Can Save You Money
If you’re looking for an economical little car that’s practically bursting at the seams with personality, it would be difficult to do better than the 2019 Chevrolet Spark. Here are some of the ways this subcompact car — which is one of the least expensive small new vehicles on the American market today — will save you money.
Low Purchase Price
While there are many things to consider when you want to save money over the lifespan of your vehicle, the initial purchase price is first on most consumers’ minds. You’ll get to choose between eight different trims when purchasing the 2019 Chevrolet Spark, so you’ll be pleased to learn that each of them comes at a surprisingly affordable price point.
The entry-level LS Manual trim is especially attractive if you’re looking to save money, as its cost is the lowest. Higher trim levels trim offer progressively more sophisticated features, but even the top-of-the-line 2LT Automatic trim won’t break the bank.
Fuel Economy
Enjoy a responsive performance from the 2019 Chevrolet Spark’s 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine. While this little engine only produces 98 horsepower, that’s more than enough to zip around town in this small subcompact vehicle. Moreover, it actually represents a 17 percent increase compared to last year’s model.
The main advantage of operating with a smaller engine, of course, is that the Spark uses less fuel and gets better gas mileage than other, larger vehicles. If you equip your 2019 Spark with an available CVT (continuously variable transmission), you’ll get even better fuel-efficiency results. As a result, driving the Spark will generate big savings in gasoline costs.
Safety Technologies
Avoid the expense of major repair jobs by staying safe on the highway. The 2019 Chevrolet Spark makes this easier than ever before, thanks to an array of active safety technologies.
For example, low-speed forward automatic braking can stop your car if you’re traveling between 5 and 37 miles per hour and are at risk of a collision. A forward-collision-alert system runs continuously, even at high speeds, and serves to warn you of a potentially imminent accident. Lane-departure warning is also an indispensable tool, as it uses a camera sensor to ensure you don’t drift into the wrong lane.
Chevrolet Complete Care
Take advantage of the Chevrolet Complete Care package to reap rewards like a complimentary maintenance appointment, 10 years of electronically enabled vehicle diagnostics, and a one-month trial of OnStar safety and security, as well as other Chevrolet electronic services. The Chevrolet Complete Care package also comes with a warranty that provides for roadside assistance, courtesy transportation, and the replacement of powertrain components.
There’s even a six-year or 100,000-mile warranty to cover rusted and corroded vehicle parts. Best of all, this package is included with every 2019 Chevrolet Spark at no extra cost.
The 2019 Chevrolet Spark is a fantastic choice for drivers looking for a small, stylish, and economical vehicle. Check our inventory online to see our current lineup of Chevrolet Spark models; we’re excited to get you behind the wheel of this fashionable subcompact.

Looking for a work truck that can handle anything you throw at it? Look no further than the 2019 Chevy Silverado HD, a truck that was designed to take a beating. This truck comes in both 2500HD and 3500HD variants, depending on just how much power and precision you require. Here’s a quick look at the different towing abilities of these models so you can determine which one is right for you.
Maximum Towing Capacities
Needing to haul your boat or an extra vehicle? That should be no problem with either the 2019 Silverado 2500HD or the 3500HD. While the 2500HD does have a lower total towing capacity, it can actually pull more when equipped with the base engine option. When paired with the standard Vortec 6.0-liter V-8 engine, the 2500HD can pull up to 14,400 pounds. However, when you upgrade to the Duramax 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V-8 engine, that number soars to 15,400 pounds.
As previously mentioned, if you’re going to stick with the base engine, you’re better off choosing the 2500HD, as the 3500HD can only pull 14,200 pounds with this setup. However, if you’re looking for the most power the HD series has to offer, choose the 3500HD with the turbo-diesel engine. This expands the maximum towing capacity to a mind-boggling 23,100 pounds — enough power to pull around three adult hippopotamuses.
Tow/Haul Mode
Now that you know just how much your new Chevy Silverado HD can carry, it’s also important to learn about other towing features, such as tow/haul mode. Imagine you’re towing a piece of heavy equipment and heading up a large hill. This is going to wreak havoc on your transmission as it tries to find the sweet spot between power and pull. Tow/haul mode puts an end to that by reducing shift cycling. Trust us — your transmission will thank you.

Although there are plenty of local places where you can take your kids, sometimes it’s hard to find spots for them to both learn and be entertained. Luckily for parents in and around Lafayette, Louisiana, there are some great places around for kids to both have the time of their lives and also learn valuable lessons regarding the things that surround them.
Zoosiana Zoo of Acadiana
Opened in the early ’90s as a small menagerie, Zoosiana has kept growing along with the entire community around it and it is now an accredited zoological park. It now hosts over 750 animals from more than 130 species, each getting special attention from the excellent staff of 25 people. From jungle rooms to petting and feeding areas where the kids can interact with the animals, every attraction and every animal on display here will stay in your kids’ minds for a long time.

Children’s Museum of Acadiana
Another place where kids can learn while having fun is the Children’s Museum. It covers a wide range of subjects and activities for kids up to 12 years old, helping their families and teachers enhance the kids’ imagination. Most exhibits are interactive and the children can see first-hand how it feels to be a doctor or an engineer. It’s also a great testament of how close the local community is, having been built and constantly renovated with the help of donations by local businesses.
The Rok Haus
Kids need to learn, but they also need to use up their vast amounts of energy. Few things are more demanding than rock climbing and this indoor center is ready to welcome people of all ages. Equipment can be rented on-site so you don’t need to bring anything special, while classes are available to teach kids the proper ways to climb.
There are plenty of places for arts and culture lovers throughout the entire country, but what makes Louisiana unique is the deep influences of Cajun culture. The French-speaking Acadian refugees were exiled from their homes in what is now Nova Scotia and settled along the bayous and swamps of Louisiana, taking their skills and traditions with them. Here are some places and events in and around Lafayette, LA where locals and visitors can enjoy the best of Cajun arts and culture.
Acadiana Center for the Arts
Having been around since 1975, the Center for the Arts is on a continuous mission to promote art and culture throughout the area.

It’s located in a building that has received many awards for its use of interior space and has plenty to offer its visitors, no matter their age. Parts of the museum can be used for school tours, special shows, or parties, so everyone can make the most out of this educational experience.
Cajun Boudin Trail
A huge part of Cajun culture is its cuisine and the Cajun Boudin Trail is the perfect place to discover Louisiana’s delicious boudin specialties. Award-winning cooks will delight you with dishes such as special boudin sausages and cheese balls, pork chop sandwiches, smoked meats, chili dogs, beef jerky, and many more.
Cadillac is one of the oldest automobile brands in the world and has always been the symbol of American luxury cars. Over the years they have managed to keep up with the times while maintaining their high standards and that has kept them successful even in the modern era of crossover multipurpose vehicles. A perfect example of that is the 2019 Cadillac XT4 Crossover.
Trim Levels
The 2019 XT4 Crossover is available in three trim levels: Luxury, Premium Luxury, and Sport. As the name would suggest, the Luxury trim is true to the brand’s reputation and offers plenty of premium features such as 18-inch wheels, LED headlights, or keyless entry and ignition. Higher trims bring even more high-end options like a massage function on the front seats, leather upholstery, plus extra safety features.
Engine and Performance
All trim levels for the 2019 Cadillac XT4 Crossover are powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine capable of producing 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. This engine is very efficient, particularly with the help of the innovative Active Fuel Management system and the nine-speed automatic transmission. The car’s excellent overall performance is delivered not only by its powerful and flexible engine and transmission but also with the help of an electronically powered braking system and a dual-clutch all-wheel drive.
When the first Chevrolet Corvette rolled off the production line in 1953, driving took on a whole new meaning. With its distinctive body style and legendary performance, the Chevrolet Corvette remains an American icon. Today’s Corvettes have only come further, continuing traditions of performance and style. The hardest part of shopping for one of these beauties is deciding which one is best for you! Keep reading to see if the 2019 Corvette Stingray or Coupe is your perfect match.
The Corvette Stingray and Coupe both offer a 6.2-liter V-8 aluminum engine, a 7-speed manual or 8-speed paddle shift automatic transmission, built-in 4-G Wi-Fi and an 8-inch LCD screen with 3 customizable displays for feedback on G-force, tire temperature, and more. Each comes in 9 exterior and 3 interior seat color options. Fill either vehicle with sound from a 9-speaker Bose Sound System. But that’s where the parallels part ways.
Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
The 460 horsepower Stingray blows solid white lines to reach 60 mph in 3.7 seconds. Its flat-bottomed steering wheel comes in either leather or sueded micro-fiber, and is a driver-oriented feature, allowing extra space when entering or exiting the cockpit. Featuring personalized lightweight carbon-fiber trim, once you slip into its bucket seats, you’ll sense its capabilities. Drive Mode Selector lets you choose how you ride with 12 performance variables depending on conditions. Option packages include Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport, and Track. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keep you connected to the outside world.
Available features for the Corvette Stingray include a Performance package featuring Brembo brake rotors and a dry-sump oil system which keeps oil pressure consistent and constant. The Performance Data Recorder allows video logs and playback to analyze your driving, or if you loaned it out, analyze that driver too. Magnetic Selective Ride Control, a damping system that reads road conditions and adjusts every 15 milliseconds, is designed for comfort and performance. The standard display adds a feature to project data on your windshield in the line of sight, with three different views depending on the data that most interests you.
Fall is the perfect time to enjoy a variety of festivals in the South. The temperatures have cooled down, but it is still an excellent time to get outdoors and relax.

Blackpot Festival

Make your way over to the Vermilionville Historic Village where you’ll find plenty of hotels (and even the airport) within walking distance. However, you do not have to leave the grounds at the end of the night, as overnight camping is allowed.
Create family memories and meet new friends while enjoying a weekend of music. RV and tent camping is allowed at the festival. However, cars are not permitted in the camping area. Pack your favorite campfire foods and a 5-gallon bucket if you are staying over. Campfires are allowed in raised fire pits, but water must accompany them.
