2021 chevy equinox
The 2021 Chevy Equinox is here and we could not be more excited. This sporty SUV is a blast to drive, and it has a surprisingly big cabin. Plus, it comes loaded with the latest tech amenities, such as:

A User-Friendly Infotainment System

The infotainment system in the Chevy Equinox is very easy to use. It utilizes a simple menu layout and a responsive touchscreen. A seven-inch screen is standard, but you can upgrade to get an eight-inch model.

Tons of Ways to Stay Connected

The Chevy Equinox makes it simple to stay connected, as it comes with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. You’ll also get a Wi-Fi hot spot, four USB ports, and Bluetooth®. Wireless device charging and two extra USB ports are also available.

Many Entertainment Options

Every Chevy Equinox comes with a 6-speaker stereo, but there are several things you can add to enhance your entertainment. These include HD and satellite radio, a seven-speaker Bose® premium sound system, and a rear-seat entertainment system.

Numerous Advanced Safety Features

The fun stuff aside, the Chevy Equinox is designed to help keep you safe. There are numerous standard safety features, such as lane-departure warning, pedestrian detection, lane-keep assist, automatic high-beam headlights, pedestrian detection, and forward-collision warning. If that’s not enough, you can also get rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring.

What Is the Chevy Tahoe Premier Package?

Shoppers at Phelps Chevrolet often ask, “ What is the Chevy Tahoe Premier package?” It's a fair question, since Chevrolet lists Premier as a trim level, not a stand-alone package. The real question is whether stepping up to Premier trim is worth it, so here is what you stand to gain. more Comfort That's Standard Instead of Optional The clearest reason to choose Premier trim over RST is what comes standard instead of optional. Heated and ventilated front seats are exclusive to Premier trim and above, a real step up from the heated-only seats on lower trims. Heated second row seats and a power-sliding center console are standard, too. Extra Security, Not Just Extra Comfort Premier trim also unlocks the available Advanced Security Package, adding an interior movement sensor, inclination sensor, and glass breakage sensor, none offered below Premier trims. That is worth considering for anyone who parks on the street or leaves the Chevy Tahoe unattended often. Super Cruise®, GM's hands-free driving system, is also available. Who Premier Trim Actually Makes Sense For Premier trim fits families who regularly carry rear passengers and want rear heated seats standard. It also suits anyone who values the extra security sensors or wants Super Cruise without needing everything High Country offers. If your routine does not touch those features, RST may serve you just as well. Test Drive the 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe Premier Trim in Greenville, NC The 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe Premier trim earns its place by making comfort and security features standard that other trims only offer as options. It suits families who want a noticeably nicer daily experience without stepping up to High Country. Phelps Chevrolet in Greenville, NC can help you compare Premier, RST, and High Country side by side.

Rugged Terrain vs All Terrain Tires: Which Fits You?

Choosing between rugged terrain vs all terrain tires comes down to how and where a truck actually gets driven. Both options work well for daily driving, but they handle rougher conditions very differently. Here's how our team at Phelps Chevrolet breaks it down for customers shopping trucks like the Chevrolet Colorado or Chevrolet Silverado 1500. more What All-Terrain Tires Offer All-terrain tires are built for drivers who split their time between paved roads and light off-road conditions. They handle gravel, dirt, and even some snow reasonably well, though they don't offer the same grip in rougher terrain that a more aggressive tire provides. They also tend to run quieter and more fuel-efficient than heavier-duty options. What Rugged Terrain Tires Offer Rugged terrain tires sit a step above all-terrain tires in off-road capability, without going as far as an aggressive mud-terrain tread. They're built for drivers who want to tackle rockier trails or uneven ground on weekends but still need a comfortable, quieter ride during the week. The tread pattern balances traction against loose or rocky surfaces with the kind of manners drivers expect on the highway. Which One Fits Your Driving? Daily commuters who occasionally head off-road usually do fine with all-terrain tires. Drivers who spend more time on unpaved trails, especially in a truck like the Chevrolet Colorado Z71 or Trail Boss, often get more out of rugged terrain tires without sacrificing on-road comfort.

Can I Buy a New Full-Size Chevy Blazer?

If you have been searching for a new full-size Chevy Blazer, here is the short answer: that specific vehicle does not exist in the current Chevrolet lineup. The Chevrolet Blazer on sale today is a mid-size, two-row crossover built for everyday driving, not a three-row, truck-based SUV. The good news is that Chevrolet still builds two true full-size SUVs that may be exactly what you had in mind. more The Mid-Size Chevy Blazer Was Never Built as a Full-Size SUV The mid-size Chevy Blazer seats five passengers across two rows and shares more with today's compact crossovers than with the truck-based Chevy Blazer models sold decades ago. It is a great fit for daily commuting, but it was never engineered to carry a third row or match a full-size SUV's towing muscle. If you need that kind of capability, you will want to look elsewhere in the Chevrolet lineup. The Chevrolet Tahoe Delivers True Full-Size Capability That is where the Chevrolet Tahoe comes in. Built on a full-size, truck-based platform, the Chevy Tahoe seats up to nine passengers across three rows and offers available V8 power for serious towing needs. If you need real cargo room behind the third row and strong highway manners, the Chevy Tahoe is built to deliver both. The Chevrolet Suburban Adds Even More Room If you need even more room, you have another option. The Chevrolet Suburban stretches the same full-size platform to add extra cargo space behind the third row, a strong pick if your family is larger or you take frequent road trips. Find the Right Full-Size Chevrolet SUV in Greenville, NC If you are in Greenville, NC and want that full-size feel, you do not have to settle for a vehicle that was never built for it. Phelps Chevrolet can walk you through both the Chevy Tahoe and Chevy Suburban lineups to match the right trim to your needs. Stop by Phelps Chevrolet to see how a genuine full-size SUV compares to the mid-size Chevy Blazer.
