Chevy Pick Up Trucks Case Study

On a new option added to the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado is the transmission brake which gears the transmission down on a steep grade while towing a heavy load. This option is only offered through Chevrolet. As of right now it is not available on Ford’s. The 2011 Ford F150 is the heaviest truck of this year’s half ton family. It weighed about 6000 pounds. The truck comes equipped with Ford’s 5.4L Triton V8. The truck was the slowest of the new half-ton trucks because of its large mass. The new F150 was least classified to pull a fifth wheel camper or other large trailers even though it has best in class towing. Although it seems as if it is not meant for towing heavy loads, the exterior and interior is attractive thanks to its chrome accents, but that doesn’t matter when you are getting around 13 miles per gallon.

Although today they would be considered old and very simple back then they were top of the line and very “modern”.

They had redesigned the whole cab and made it bigger and more comfortable to drive for longer

Next, came the Chevrolet Camaro. When the team of specialists and engineers at GM got there head together, they formed one of the best sports cars to date: The Chevrolet Camaro. When the Chevrolet Camaro was first introduced back in 1967, it was not thought very much of. The Ford Mustang had been out on the market now for quite some time and had made a very good impression on its buyers and the spectators. After General Motors pushed the sales campaign and got the first few buyers to commit they were hooked from day one. The word of mouth quickly spread of the sheer enjoyment of the Camaro vs. the Mustang. The Chevrolet Camaro provided a cheaper and better all around alternative to the Mustang. The Camaro came with loads more options and not to mention the stand features alone out did the Mustang's. The biggest reason for sales increase was the power delivered by the Camaro. The Camaro was able to astonish the buyers with loads of power, given the time period, for a cheaper price of the Mustang. Chevrolet too competes with Ford in the bigger and better race to a super sports car. Once such creation is a 600 HP Big Block Camaro. The Camaro was developed as more of a show car to show people what can be accomplished with aftermarket products as well as the time and effort to put into a car. The horsepower that the Camaro develops is unbelievable. "Horsepower builds with straight-line progressivity from 2,000 RPM (187-HP) to 6,000 RPM (600 angry ponies)" (Karr 48 -

The most visible change in telling the difference in a 1968 from a 1967 was the addition of side-marker reflectors on all fenders. Also, the small rear window cab was no longer available. Another addition was the Custom Comfort and Convenience interior package that was better than the Standard cab and more low class that the CST cab options. C10 or K10 models could be manufactured with either a 115-inch wheel base with a 6 1/2-foot cargo box or 127- inch wheelbase with an 8-foot cargo box available in Fleet side or Step side models. Standard Features included Full-width seat with vinyl trim, deluxe air heater/defroster, backup lights, painted front bumper because chrome bumpers are not considered “standard”. Also the 1968 Chevy trucks came with a 2-speed windshield wiper and directional signals. For about 160 dollars more, the CST (Custom Sport Truck) package could be ordered which had all of the features listed above, plus Western style vinyl seats, roof rim molding, carpeting for the floor panels and also for the gas tank, and break and gas pedal

[pic]Chevrolet Camaro SS, was the second highest popular car sold. This was the era were Chevrolet tried to copy the design of the mustang. It had accomplished it, by selling lots of Camaro’s but not as much as the Mustang’s. The 1967 Camaro was the second highest car to sell in nation wide, with over 80,000 cars sold in that one year. The Camaro came out with a V8 engine and with the choice of a 327 or a 350 small block engine. The horse power of the engine that came out of the engine was around 150 hp. On the Camaro they had “SS” this meant to say super sport; they meant to say super sport because it was a high powered engine and had lots of muscle for its time. The car did perform well but still couldn’t be able to defeat the 1967 Shelby Mustang. The Camaro went 0to 60 miles per hour in 7 seconds flat.

I own a 1979 F150 XLT Ranger. Before the Ranger became a compact truck, it was full size. Mine happens to be 4 wheel drive. I love it. I have been the proud owner for 15 years. I will never sell it. It is too easy to keep runnin'. Parts are affordable, and it is EASY to work on. Any of you who own and older Ford truck know what I'm talking about. So here is my tribute lens to the Ford truck.

Ford uses the placement of the three different vehicles to show this family 's loyalty to the Ford brand. First, the mother 's four door sedan: a stereotypical mom 's vehicle. As Phil Patton quotes George Butcher in his New York Times article "The perk here is size. [ ']Space is the ultimate luxury,[ '] said George Bucher, the Five Hundred 's designer.", making the Five Hundred appeal to the family that spends a lot of time traveling in the car. (2004) Second, the 1969 Mustang Cobra: a stereotypical man 's muscle car. According to the Ford Mustang Enthusiasts article "Ford Mustang History" only 867 produced and came with "A 375-horsepower "Semi-Hemi" big block with NASCAR intentions…" (2016) Ford also shows the 2005 Mustang: the more modern, younger man 's hot rod that was getting ready to appear on showroom floors. This shows their credibility on many levels of the car buyer 's scale, proving there is a vehicle for everyone.

Furthermore, this car interests me because at the price one could completely personalize his or her dream Mustang for only $2,320. Ford would sell close to 417,000 Mustangs within the first year (Tucker).

Before we pulled into the dealerships parking lot, we set Mike’s parameters out. Mike was going to be interested in a brand new 2013 Ford F-150 pickup truck, while trading in his 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and having upwards of $10,000 cash to put down as a down payment. Sure those numbers sound steep for a college student, but when in the market for a truck priced at over $40,000 MSRP, we had to make it appear somewhat reasonable for the lurking salesman.
