Standard on light-duty LT, available on LS; standard on heavy-duty Silverado LT Extended Cab and Crew Cab, available on 2500HD and 3500 models. CHEVY SILVERADO: FOR EVERY PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL TRUCK NEED As General Motors' best selling vehicle, the Chevrolet Silverado has an unequaled reputation for outstanding performance, dependability and capability. Silverado also is known for having one of the broadest model ranges in the entire industry, to meet every personal and professional need in the full-size pickup truck market. Silverado's extensive range of 1500 and 2500 light duty models is expanded even further for 2005, with the introduction of a gas-electric hybrid version of the 1500 Series Extended Cab for the retail market. Hybrid models are powered by a standard Vortec 5300 V-8 and Hydra-Matic 4L60-E four-speed automatic transmission coupled with the segment's first hybrid propulsion technology, to provide up to 10 percent better fuel economy; 120-volt electrical power with ground fault detection; and unique accessory powering capability. In addition to the hybrid-powered Silverado, an even more potent 310 horsepower (231 kw) version of GM's Vortec 5300 5.3L V-8 is available for 2005 on 4WD Silverado 1500 Extended Cabs with a standard cargo box. Other functional changes for 2005 include the availability of a power sunroof on all Extended Cab and Crew Cab models. Front-disc, rear-drum anti-lock brakes are now standard on all light duty models except those equipped with GM's innovative Quadrasteer four-wheel steering system. A new 3.23 rear axle ratio is standard on 2WD models, while a more powerful 145-amp alternator is standard on all models for 2005. (A 160-amp alternator comes with the optional Snow Plow prep package.) New tire choices for 2005 include P245/70R17-108S all-season blackwall tires as standard on 2WD models, with P245/70R17-108S all-season white-outlined letter tires as an option. P265/70R17 all-season blackwall tires are now standard on 4WD Regular and Extended Cab models, while P265/70R17 all-season white outlined-letter tires are available. Revised wheel combinations include six-lug painted 17 x 7-inch steel wheels standard on Work Truck Models, and six-lug chrome-styled steel 17 x 7.5-inch wheels on all models except 2WD Extended Cab and 2WD/4WD Crew Cab models. Dark Blue Metallic is a new color for 2005 across all light and heavy duty models except Silverado SS. Unmatched power and selection Within the light duty lineup, Silverado can be ordered in an almost unlimited number of configurations to suit any requirement: Regular, Extended or Crew Cab body styles; standard 6.5-foot (2-m) or extended 8-foot (2.4-m) cargo boxes in either Fleetside or Sportside style; 1500 half-ton or 2500 three-quarter-ton models; and either 2WD or 4WD systems. An impressive array of Vortec engines is offered: a 4300 4.3 L V-6; 4800 4.8L V-8; two models of the Vortec 5300 5.3L V-8; and the powerful Vortec 6000 6.0L V-8. Engine output ranges from 195 hp (145 kw) all the way up to 330 hp (246 kw). In addition to the new hybrid version, Silverado can be ordered in several reduced-emissions or alternative-fuel variations. All Silverados with the Vortec 4300 4.3L V-6, and those sold in California with the Vortec 4800 4.8L or Vortec 5300 5.3L V-8, have a robust catalytic converter system that meets Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) standards. Models equipped with the Vortec 6000 6.0L V-8 come with a dedicated compressed natural gas (CNG) or bi-fuel system that can run on CNG or gasoline. Light-duty Silverado models with the Vortec 5300 5.3L V-8 offer an option that enables owners to operate them on varying blends of ethanol and gasoline, up to a maximum of 85 percent ethanol. Silverado can be equipped to meet any personal requirement or professional demand when it comes to hauling or towing. Payload capacities range from 1,295 pounds (587 kg) all the way to 4,047 pounds (1,836 kg) for 2500 heavy duty models. Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings range from 6,100 pounds (2,767 kg) to 9,200 pounds (4,173 kg) on properly equipped heavy duty versions. Improved fuel economy Already best in class in terms of fuel economy, the 2005 Silverados receive four major enhancements that lead to a nearly one-mile-per-gallon fuel economy improvement. The 2005 model Silverados feature an all-electric cooling system (compared to fan and fan clutch on 2004 models). The all-electric cooling system consists of two 200-watt electric fan packages and an improved dissipation radiator. The new cooling system provides a number of advantages: A reduction in parasitic losses due to disengaged fan speed with a corresponding increase in combined city/highway fuel economy A significant improvement in idle A/C performance (driver/passenger comfort) as well as an ability to idle with A/C on for extended periods in very high ambient temperatures A reduction in customer complaints normally attributed to unusual engine noise or transmission noise/delayed shift, which are actually fan noise issues. A new voltage control system monitors the battery's charge status and controls the vehicle's generator to minimize parasitic voltage loss. Other changes designed to improve fuel economy include improved sealing of the vehicles' front end. For example, tow hook and fog light openings are now sealed when those items are not ordered on the vehicle. In addition, the center hole in the front air deflector has been sealed; an extension has been added to the front air deflector; the aerodynamics for the running boards have been improved and the center high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL) - which was previously roof-mounted - is now recessed into the liftgate glass for improved vehicle aerodynamics. Hybrid highlights Introduced during the 2004 model year, Silverado 1500 Hybrid promises up to 10 percent improvement in fuel economy and returns all the performance and capability expected in a full-size pickup. The Vortec 5300 V-8 engine delivers 295 horsepower (220 kw) and 335 lb.-ft. (463 Nm) of torque - the same as its non-hybrid counterpart. Yet there's something the Sierra Hybrid provides that standard models do not: it is essentially a mobile power-generating station, with four 120-volt/20-amp electrical auxiliary power outlets (APO). The power outlets are located under the rear seat of the cab and in the pickup bed. Customers can conveniently operate power equipment without taking up the bed space typical portable generators would use. A key contributor to the Hybrid's fuel efficiency is its ability to automatically stop and restart the engine under different operating circumstances. Instead of a conventional starter motor and alternator, Hybrid pickups use a compact 14-kw electric induction motor or starter generator integrated in a patented, space-efficient manner between the engine and transmission. The starter generator provides fast, quiet starting power and allows automatic engine stops/starts to conserve fuel. It also smoothes out any driveline surges; generates electrical current to charge the batteries and run auxiliary power outlets; and provides coast-down regenerative braking, as an aid to fuel economy. Please see the "Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra Hybrid" release in the Fleet and Commercial section of the Corporate book of the GM Product Information Guide for complete details on the Silverado Hybrid. Safety and security across the range Silverados are equipped with GM's Passenger Sensing System (PSS). PSS uses the latest sensing technology to turn the front passenger air bag on or off. If the sensor system detects an unoccupied front passenger seat or the presence of a smaller occupant, the front passenger air bag is designed to automatically turn off so it would not deploy in the event of a frontal collision. A status indicator on the instrument panel alerts occupants that the passenger air bag is on or off. Even with this system, GM strongly recommends to restrain child passengers in an appropriate child seat placed in the second or third row of the vehicle. Never install a rear-facing infant seat in front of an active air bag. GM also recommends that all children 12 and under ride in the rear seat when possible. The Silverado also has dual-stage frontal air bags (not available on 1500 HD Crew Cab and 2500 HD and 3500 Series models) for supplemental protection for front seat passengers. Dual-stage frontal air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of air bag-induced injury. When the air bag system's control unit detects an impact, it determines whether the crash is severe enough to trigger a deployment, and whether the primary amount of inflation is sufficient. The primary stage alone will deploy in most frontal impacts requiring the supplemental protection of an air bag, while a secondary stage is designed to deploy in more severe frontal collisions. GM's OnStar safety and security system is standard on LT and available on LS light duty models. In the heavy duty range, OnStar is standard on Silverado LT Extended Cab and Crew Cab models, and available on 2500 HD and 3500 models. Silverados feature OnStar's new sixth-generation hardware with digital and analog coverage. The Gen 6 hardware also includes upgraded hands-free voice recognition capabilities including more intuitive continuous digit dialing and improved voice recognition accuracy. OnStar is the leading provider of in-vehicle safety, security and information services in the United States and Canada. Using the GPS satellite network and wireless technology, OnStar features core safety services and OnStar Personal Calling that allows drivers to make and receive hands-free, voice-activated phone calls using a powerful three-watt digital/analog system and external antenna for greater reception. Additional safety and security systems include electronic traction control on 2WD Silverados to enhance handling and response on models equipped with a V-8 engine, automatic transmission and locking rear differential. All models come standard with PASSLock II theft deterrent system, and a driver information center that monitors and reports on up to 34 vehicle system functions. Air conditioning, chrome front bumpers, tinted glass, power steering with tilt-adjustable column, a full-size spare tire and heavy-duty battery also are standard on all Silverado models. Quadrasteer for added maneuverability GM's exclusive Quadrasteer four-wheel steering system - which offers low-speed maneuverability and high-speed stability, handling and control ideal for pulling a trailer - is available on 1500 Extended Cab short-box and 2500 Crew Cab pickups. At low speeds, Quadrasteer enables the rear wheels to turn in the opposite direction of the front wheels. That helps the vehicle make tighter turns such as when cornering or getting into a tight parking space. At higher speeds, the system reduces vehicle yaw, or rotational motion, for more control during lane changes and demanding conditions. Quality entertainment systems Impressive entertainment systems - from available Bose sound systems to a Panasonic DVD passenger entertainment system - add to Silverado's creature comforts. These systems (except the base fleet radio) feature the next-generation Radio Data System, and can interface with services such as the optional XM Satellite Radio. On Crew Cab models, available rear-seat audio controls allow second-row passengers to enjoy a separate audio source from front-seat occupants. XM (continental U.S. only) provides more than 120 coast-to-coast, digital-quality channels of original commercial-free music and premier news, sports and talk as well as advanced traffic and weather information for select major metropolitan areas nationwide. Consumers can subscribe to the basic service for $9.99 a month. In addition, GM customers with GMAC financing can choose to include the XM subscription in their car payments. Silverado SS, Z71 Off-Road Package Among the wide selection of Silverado models are two versions that offer the ultimate for either highway cruising or off-road fun. Silverado SS, based on a 1500 Series Extended Cab with a short bed, is a contemporary expression of Chevy power for those muscle car enthusiasts who want the added versatility of a muscle truck. A high-output version of GM's Vortec 6000 V-8 pumps out 345 horsepower (257 kw) and 380 lb.-ft. (515 Nm) of torque. Bolted to a Hydra-Matic 4L85-E four-speed automatic overdrive transmission equipped with a 3.06 first gear and 0.70 final gear, this potent powertrain delivers both rapid acceleration and relaxed highway cruising. Keeping all this power connected to the pavement is a standard full-time, electronic all-wheel-drive (AWD) viscous-coupled transfer case for enhanced wet or dry pavement handling, along with an innovative Z60 high-performance chassis and tire package that includes Silverado's largest ever 20-inch wheel and tire combination for exceptional road holding and cornering capabilities. For 2005, Silverado SS is available with a power sunroof option. Silver Birch Metallic is offered in addition to Victory Red. For those interested more in four-wheeling fun and capability, the Silverado Z71 Off-Road Package is available on half-ton 4WD models. The Z71 package includes 46-mm gas-charged shock absorbers, off-road jounce bumpers, specific stabilizer bars, a skid-plate package, a high-capacity air cleaner and distinctive Z71 decals for the pickup box. Silverado Z71 can be equipped with features such as cruise control, rear defogger, power door locks, remote keyless entry, rearview mirror, AM/FM stereo with CD and cassette player, leather-wrapped steering wheel, power windows, fog lamps, color-keyed grille and deep-tinted glass. Silverado Heavy Duty - For any power and performance need Featuring a redesigned hood and grille for 2005, Chevy Silverado Heavy Duty pickups comprise the segment's most diverse lineup, with a wide selection of weight ratings, body styles and powertrain combinations including diesel and compressed natural gas (CNG) models. GM's Duramax 6600 6.6L (V-8) turbo-diesel was already legendary for its awesome performance, but engineers decided to make it even better. Both hardware and software were upgraded in '04, resulting in a 10 horsepower (7.5 kw) increase. Not satisfied with "good enough," the engineers went back to work and the result is a 70 lb.-ft. (97 Nm) torque increase for 2005. The revised powerplant delivers 310 horsepower (231 kw) at 3000 rpm and 605 lb.-ft. (836 Nm) of torque at 1600 rpm when equipped with the Allison automatic transmission. At the top of the gasoline engine range is an optional Vortec 8100 8.1L V-8, rated at 330 hp (246 kw) and 450 lb.-ft. (610 Nm) of torque. The Vortec 6000 6.0L V-8 produces 300 hp (224 kw) and 360 lb.-ft. (488 Nm) of torque. No fewer than 14 different Silverado HD models can run on dedicated (CNG) or bi-fuel systems, the latter which operates on either CNG or gasoline when equipped with a Vortec 6000 6.0L V-8 with hardened valves and seats to withstand CNG's lack of lubricity and cooling. Special versions with reduced gross vehicle weight ratings (8,500 pounds or 3,825 kg) enable customers to meet fleet requirements in "non-attainment" areas, while GVWR ratings of up to 9,200 pounds (4,173 kg) are available. Impressive and tough With impressive power, tough frames, advanced suspensions and high-capacity brakes, the 2500HD/3500 Series provides outstanding payload capacities as well as outstanding hauling and towing capabilities. The three-quarter-ton models have a GVWR as much as 9,200 pounds (4,173 kg), and payloads up to 3,964 pounds (1,798 kg). The one-ton pickup models have a GVWR up to 11,400 pounds (5,171 kg) and payloads up to 5,753 pounds (2,610 kg). For chassis cab models, Silverado HD has an 11,400-pound (5,171-kg) GVWR for 2WD versions and a 12,000-pound (5,443 kg) GVWR when equipped with 4WD. Chassis cabs provide payloads up to 6,089 pounds (2,762 kg). Capable smooth-shifting transmissions Duramax 6600 and Vortec 8100 are mated to smooth-shifting, high-capacity transmissions with close-ratio gearing to provide optimum launch, hill climbing and towing capabilities. The ZF S6-650 six-speed is fully synchronized in all gears. Dual cone synchronizers in second and third gear provide extra capacity. The shift lever moves forward for first and straight back for reverse, providing easy low-speed maneuvering since drivers don't have to go across the shift pattern to select reverse. Second gear can be used for launching unloaded or lightly loaded trucks. First gear can be used as a "creeper gear" for extra low-end performance. The Allison 1000 was built to move big-time tonnage. It has full electronic control of shift-timing points, five forward speeds and helical-type planetary gearsets for quiet operation. It also provides two operating modes, normal and Tow/Haul. When hauling heavy loads down long, steep grades, a grade-braking mechanism automatically downshifts to help slow the vehicle when the driver applies the brakes. A heavy-duty, five-speed manual transmission and GM's optional Hydra-Matic 4L80-E four-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission are available with the Vortec 6000. The 4L80-E also provides Passive Shift Stabilization with Tow/Haul mode and a standard temperature gauge and temperature monitoring system.2005 Chevrolet Silverado HD | New for 2005 Hybrid version of half-ton 1500 Extended Cab model Higher output (310 hp/231 kw) Vortec 5300 5.3L V-8 (available on 4WD Extended Cab w/standard box) Power sunroof package (available late 2004 on Extended and Crew Cab models with Universal Transmitter and overhead console) Front disc/rear drum anti-lock brakes standard on all models except with Quadrasteer (QPR) P245/70R17-108S all-season blackwall tires standard on 2WD models (QPO) P245/70R17-108S all-season, white-outlined letter tires available on 2WD models (QVL) P265/70R17, all-season, blackwall tires standard on 4WD Regular/Extended Cab models (QVM) P265/70R17, all-season, white outlined-letter tires available on 4WD Regular/Extended Cab models Six -lug painted 17-inch x 7-inch steel wheels standard on Work Truck Models Six-lug chrome-styled steel 17-inch x 7.5-inch (except 2WD Extended Cab and 2WD/4WD Crew Cab models) 3.23 rear axle ratio standard on 2WD models 145-amp alternator standard Snow Plow prep package includes 160-amp alternator New hood and grille design for Heavy Duty models New exterior colors: Dark Blue Metallic (all except Silverado SS), Silver Birch Metallic (Silverado SS) OnStar driver safety and security system, featuring Gen 6 hardware with analog/digital coverage and upgraded hands-free capabilities.

CHEVY SILVERADO: FOR EVERY PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL TRUCK NEED As General Motors' best selling vehicle, the Chevrolet Silverado has an unequaled reputation for outstanding performance, dependability and capability. Silverado also is known for having one of the broadest model ranges in the entire industry, to meet every personal and professional need in the full-size pickup truck market. Silverado's extensive range of 1500 and 2500 light duty models is expanded even further for 2005, with the introduction of a gas-electric hybrid version of the 1500 Series Extended Cab for the retail market. Hybrid models are powered by a standard Vortec 5300 V-8 and Hydra-Matic 4L60-E four-speed automatic transmission coupled with the segment's first hybrid propulsion technology, to provide up to 10 percent better fuel economy; 120-volt electrical power with ground fault detection; and unique accessory powering capability. In addition to the hybrid-powered Silverado, an even more potent 310 horsepower (231 kw) version of GM's Vortec 5300 5.3L V-8 is available for 2005 on 4WD Silverado 1500 Extended Cabs with a standard cargo box. Other functional changes for 2005 include the availability of a power sunroof on all Extended Cab and Crew Cab models. Front-disc, rear-drum anti-lock brakes are now standard on all light duty models except those equipped with GM's innovative Quadrasteer four-wheel steering system. A new 3.23 rear axle ratio is standard on 2WD models, while a more powerful 145-amp alternator is standard on all models for 2005. (A 160-amp alternator comes with the optional Snow Plow prep package.) New tire choices for 2005 include P245/70R17-108S all-season blackwall tires as standard on 2WD models, with P245/70R17-108S all-season white-outlined letter tires as an option. P265/70R17 all-season blackwall tires are now standard on 4WD Regular and Extended Cab models, while P265/70R17 all-season white outlined-letter tires are available. Revised wheel combinations include six-lug painted 17 x 7-inch steel wheels standard on Work Truck Models, and six-lug chrome-styled steel 17 x 7.5-inch wheels on all models except 2WD Extended Cab and 2WD/4WD Crew Cab models. Dark Blue Metallic is a new color for 2005 across all light and heavy duty models except Silverado SS. Unmatched power and selection Within the light duty lineup, Silverado can be ordered in an almost unlimited number of configurations to suit any requirement: Regular, Extended or Crew Cab body styles; standard 6.5-foot (2-m) or extended 8-foot (2.4-m) cargo boxes in either Fleetside or Sportside style; 1500 half-ton or 2500 three-quarter-ton models; and either 2WD or 4WD systems. An impressive array of Vortec engines is offered: a 4300 4.3 L V-6; 4800 4.8L V-8; two models of the Vortec 5300 5.3L V-8; and the powerful Vortec 6000 6.0L V-8. Engine output ranges from 195 hp (145 kw) all the way up to 330 hp (246 kw). In addition to the new hybrid version, Silverado can be ordered in several reduced-emissions or alternative-fuel variations. All Silverados with the Vortec 4300 4.3L V-6, and those sold in California with the Vortec 4800 4.8L or Vortec 5300 5.3L V-8, have a robust catalytic converter system that meets Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV) standards. Models equipped with the Vortec 6000 6.0L V-8 come with a dedicated compressed natural gas (CNG) or bi-fuel system that can run on CNG or gasoline. Light-duty Silverado models with the Vortec 5300 5.3L V-8 offer an option that enables owners to operate them on varying blends of ethanol and gasoline, up to a maximum of 85 percent ethanol. Silverado can be equipped to meet any personal requirement or professional demand when it comes to hauling or towing. Payload capacities range from 1,295 pounds (587 kg) all the way to 4,047 pounds (1,836 kg) for 2500 heavy duty models. Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings range from 6,100 pounds (2,767 kg) to 9,200 pounds (4,173 kg) on properly equipped heavy duty versions. Improved fuel economy Already best in class in terms of fuel economy, the 2005 Silverados receive four major enhancements that lead to a nearly one-mile-per-gallon fuel economy improvement. The 2005 model Silverados feature an all-electric cooling system (compared to fan and fan clutch on 2004 models). The all-electric cooling system consists of two 200-watt electric fan packages and an improved dissipation radiator. The new cooling system provides a number of advantages: A reduction in parasitic losses due to disengaged fan speed with a corresponding increase in combined city/highway fuel economy A significant improvement in idle A/C performance (driver/passenger comfort) as well as an ability to idle with A/C on for extended periods in very high ambient temperatures A reduction in customer complaints normally attributed to unusual engine noise or transmission noise/delayed shift, which are actually fan noise issues. A new voltage control system monitors the battery's charge status and controls the vehicle's generator to minimize parasitic voltage loss. Other changes designed to improve fuel economy include improved sealing of the vehicles' front end. For example, tow hook and fog light openings are now sealed when those items are not ordered on the vehicle. In addition, the center hole in the front air deflector has been sealed; an extension has been added to the front air deflector; the aerodynamics for the running boards have been improved and the center high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL) - which was previously roof-mounted - is now recessed into the liftgate glass for improved vehicle aerodynamics. Hybrid highlights Introduced during the 2004 model year, Silverado 1500 Hybrid promises up to 10 percent improvement in fuel economy and returns all the performance and capability expected in a full-size pickup. The Vortec 5300 V-8 engine delivers 295 horsepower (220 kw) and 335 lb.-ft. (463 Nm) of torque - the same as its non-hybrid counterpart. Yet there's something the Sierra Hybrid provides that standard models do not: it is essentially a mobile power-generating station, with four 120-volt/20-amp electrical auxiliary power outlets (APO). The power outlets are located under the rear seat of the cab and in the pickup bed. Customers can conveniently operate power equipment without taking up the bed space typical portable generators would use. A key contributor to the Hybrid's fuel efficiency is its ability to automatically stop and restart the engine under different operating circumstances. Instead of a conventional starter motor and alternator, Hybrid pickups use a compact 14-kw electric induction motor or starter generator integrated in a patented, space-efficient manner between the engine and transmission. The starter generator provides fast, quiet starting power and allows automatic engine stops/starts to conserve fuel. It also smoothes out any driveline surges; generates electrical current to charge the batteries and run auxiliary power outlets; and provides coast-down regenerative braking, as an aid to fuel economy. Please see the "Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra Hybrid" release in the Fleet and Commercial section of the Corporate book of the GM Product Information Guide for complete details on the Silverado Hybrid. Safety and security across the range Silverados are equipped with GM's Passenger Sensing System (PSS). PSS uses the latest sensing technology to turn the front passenger air bag on or off. If the sensor system detects an unoccupied front passenger seat or the presence of a smaller occupant, the front passenger air bag is designed to automatically turn off so it would not deploy in the event of a frontal collision. A status indicator on the instrument panel alerts occupants that the passenger air bag is on or off. Even with this system, GM strongly recommends to restrain child passengers in an appropriate child seat placed in the second or third row of the vehicle. Never install a rear-facing infant seat in front of an active air bag. GM also recommends that all children 12 and under ride in the rear seat when possible. The Silverado also has dual-stage frontal air bags (not available on 1500 HD Crew Cab and 2500 HD and 3500 Series models) for supplemental protection for front seat passengers. Dual-stage frontal air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of air bag-induced injury. When the air bag system's control unit detects an impact, it determines whether the crash is severe enough to trigger a deployment, and whether the primary amount of inflation is sufficient. The primary stage alone will deploy in most frontal impacts requiring the supplemental protection of an air bag, while a secondary stage is designed to deploy in more severe frontal collisions. GM's OnStar safety and security system is standard on LT and available on LS light duty models. In the heavy duty range, OnStar is standard on Silverado LT Extended Cab and Crew Cab models, and available on 2500 HD and 3500 models. Silverados feature OnStar's new sixth-generation hardware with digital and analog coverage. The Gen 6 hardware also includes upgraded hands-free voice recognition capabilities including more intuitive continuous digit dialing and improved voice recognition accuracy. OnStar is the leading provider of in-vehicle safety, security and information services in the United States and Canada. Using the GPS satellite network and wireless technology, OnStar features core safety services and OnStar Personal Calling that allows drivers to make and receive hands-free, voice-activated phone calls using a powerful three-watt digital/analog system and external antenna for greater reception. Additional safety and security systems include electronic traction control on 2WD Silverados to enhance handling and response on models equipped with a V-8 engine, automatic transmission and locking rear differential.

The 4L80-E also provides Passive Shift Stabilization with Tow/Haul mode and a standard temperature gauge and temperature monitoring system.2005 Chevrolet Silverado | Dimensions Exterior Standard Box Regular Cab Wheelbase (in / mm): 119 / 3023 Overall length (in / mm): 203.2 / 5161 Overall width (in / mm): Base/fleet: 78.5 / 1994 With YE9 package opt mirrors folded: 81.5 / 2070 With YE9 package opt mirrors extended: 93.1 / 2363 Quadrasteer models w/YE9 opt mirrors folded: - Overall height (in / mm): 2WD: 71.2 / 1808 4WD: 73.8 / 1875 Track (in / mm): All except Quadrasteer models Front: 65 / 1651 Rear 66 / 1676 Quadrasteer models: Front: - Rear: - Min. ground clearance: (in / mm): 2WD: 8 / 203.2 4WD: 8.4 / 213 Ground to top of load floor (in / mm): 2WD: 31.6 / 803 4WD: 33.7 / 856 Step-in height: 2WD: 19 / 482 4WD: 21.3 / 540 Approach angle (deg): 25.4 Breakover angle (deg): 12.4 Departure angle (deg): 27.5 Rear: - Min. ground clearance (in / mm): 2WD: 8 / 203.2 4WD: 8.4 / 213 Ground to top of load floor (in / mm): 2WD: 31.6 / 803 4WD: 33.7 / 856 Step-in height: 2WD: 19 / 482 4WD: 21.3 / 540 Approach angle (deg): 25.4 Breakover angle (deg): 12.4 Departure angle (deg): 27.5 Long Box Regular Cab Wheelbase (in / mm): 133 / 3378 Overall length (in / mm): 222 / 5644 Overall width (in / mm): Base/fleet: 78.5 / 1994 With YE9 package opt mirrors folded: 81.5 / 2070 With YE9 package opt mirrors extended: 93.1 / 2363 Quadrasteer models w/YE9 opt mirrors folded: - Overall height (in / mm): 2WD: 71 / 1803 4WD: 73.7 / 1872 Track (in / mm): All except Quadrasteer models Front: 65 / 1651 Rear 66 / 1676 Quadrasteer models Front: - Rear: - Min. ground clearance (in / mm): 2WD: 8 / 203.2 4WD: 8.4 / 213 Ground to top of load floor (in / mm): 2WD: 31.6 / 803 4WD: 33.7 / 856 Step-in height: 2WD: 19 / 482 4WD: 21.3 / 540 Approach angle (deg): 25.4 Breakover angle (deg): 12.4 Departure angle (deg): 27.5 Rear: - Min. ground clearance (in / mm): 2WD: 8 / 203.2 4WD: 8.4 / 213 Ground to top of load floor (in / mm): 2WD: 31.6 / 803 4WD: 33.7 / 856 Step-in height: 2WD: 19 / 482 4WD: 21.3 / 540 Approach angle (deg): 25.4 Breakover angle (deg): 12.4 Departure angle (deg): 27.5 Standard Box Extended Cab Wheelbase (in / mm): 143.5 / 3644 Overall length (in / mm): 227.6 / 5781 Overall width (in / mm) Base/fleet: 78.5 / 1994 With YE9 package opt mirrors folded: 81.5 / 2070 With YE9 package opt mirrors extended: 93.1 / 2363 Quadrasteer models w/YE9 opt mirrorsfolded: 83.5 / 2103 Overall height (in / mm): 2WD: 71.2 / 1808 4WD: 73.9 / 1877 Track (in / mm): All except Quadrasteer models Front: 65 / 1651 Rear 66 / 1676 Quadrasteer models Front: 65 / 1651 Rear: 71 / 1804 Min. ground clearance (in / mm): 2WD: 8 / 203.2 4WD: 8.7 / 221 Ground to top of load floor (in / mm): 2WD: 31.6 / 803 4WD: 33.7 / 856 Step-in height: 2WD: 19 / 482 4WD: 21.3 / 540 Approach angle (deg): 25.4 Breakover angle (deg): 12.4 Departure angle (deg): 27.5 Rear: 71 / 1804 Min. ground clearance (in / mm): 2WD: 8 / 203.2 4WD: 8.7 / 221 Ground to top of load floor (in / mm): 2WD: 31.6 / 803 4WD: 33.7 / 856 Step-in height: 2WD: 19 / 482 4WD: 21.3 / 540 Approach angle (deg): 25.4 Breakover angle (deg): 12.4 Departure angle (deg): 27.5 Long Box Extended Cab Wheelbase (in / mm): 157.5 / 4000 Overall length (in / mm): 246.6 / 6264 Overall width (in / mm): Base/fleet: 78.5 / 1994 With YE9 package opt mirrors folded: 81.5 / 2070 With YE9 package opt mirrors extended: 93.1 / 2363 Quadrasteer models w/YE9 opt mirrors folded: - Overall height (in / mm): 2WD: 70.8 / 1798 4WD: 73.7 / 1872 Track (in / mm): All except Quadrasteer models Front: 65 / 1651 Rear 66 / 1676 Quadrasteer models Front: - Rear: - Min. ground clearance (in / mm): 2WD: 8 / 203.2 4WD: 8.4 / 213 Ground to top of load floor (in / mm): 2WD: 31.6 / 803 4WD: 33.7 / 856 Step-in height: 2WD: 19 / 482 4WD: 21.3 / 540 Approach angle (deg): 25.4 Breakover angle (deg): 12.4 Departure angle (deg): 27.5 Rear: - Min. ground clearance (in / mm): 2WD: 8 / 203.2 4WD: 8.4 / 213 Ground to top of load floor (in / mm): 2WD: 31.6 / 803 4WD: 33.7 / 856 Step-in height: 2WD: 19 / 482 4WD: 21.3 / 540 Approach angle (deg): 25.4 Breakover angle (deg): 12.4 Departure angle (deg): 27.5 1500 Short Box Crew Cab Wheelbase (in / mm): 143.5 / 3644 Overall length (in / mm): 225.9 / 5735 Overall width (in / mm): Base/fleet: 78.5 / 1994 With YE9 package opt mirrors folded: - With YE9 package opt mirrors extended: - Quadrasteer models w/YE9 opt mirrorsfolded: - Overall height (in / mm): 2WD: 72.6 / 184 4WD: 75 / 190 Track (in / mm): All except Quadrasteer models Front: 65 / 1651 Rear 66 / 1676 Quadrasteer models Front: - Rear: - Min. ground clearance (in / mm): 2WD: 8.1 / 205 4WD: 8.7 / 220 Ground to top of load floor (in / mm): 2WD: 31.6 / 803 4WD: 33.7 / 856 Step-in height: 2WD: 19 / 482 4WD: 21.3 / 540 Approach angle (deg): 2WD: 27.2;

With one of the highest loyalty rates in the industry, Suburban gets several noteworthy enhancements for 2005, keeping this Chevy workhorse in a class all its own. For 2005, GM's OnStar safety and security system is now standard in all equipment groups. All Suburban models also have a rear liftgate with flip-up glass, and side-sill assist steps have been redesigned for improved ergonomics. Suburban's tire pressure monitoring system has been revised to identify the specific tire and location, replacing the general warning system. The system is now available on 3/4-ton models. An engine oil cooler is now included and only available with 3/4-ton models equipped with the Vortec 8100 8.1L V-8 engine, while a transmission oil cooler is now included with the trailering equipment package or 3/4-ton models Other functional changes include a more powerful 160-amp alternator standard on all half-ton models. Rear axle ratios are revised, resulting in a 3.42 ratio being standard on all half-ton models and a 3.73 ratio as standard on all 3/4-ton versions. Equipment group revisions for 2005 include the availability of the Z71 off-road package for 2WD half-ton models; a new optional stereo system with touch-screen navigation system; and 17-inch, five-spoke aluminum wheels now included as part of the uplevel LT package. Two new exterior colors are available: Sandstone Metallic and Bermuda Blue Metallic. Power for every need Suburban's powertrain lineup includes a choice of three powerful V-8 engines to cover even the most extreme hauling and towing requirements. GM's Vortec 5300 5.3L V-8 is standard on all half-ton models, delivering 295 horsepower (220 kw) and 330 lb.-ft. (447 Nm) of torque. This flexible-fuel engine is capable of running on either unleaded gasoline or a blend of up to 85 percent ethanol. GM's Vortec 6000 6.0L V-8 is standard on all 3/4-ton Suburban models, and generates 335 horsepower (250 kw) and 375 lb.-ft. (508 Nm) of torque. For those with exceptional requirements, GM's Vortec 8100 8.1L V-8 is available on 2500 series 3/4-ton models, providing 320 horsepower (239 kw) and 440 lb.-ft. (597 Nm) of torque. Three transmissions, all four-speed automatics with electronic controls and tow/haul modes, are available, depending on engine choice. Improved fuel economy Already best in class in terms of fuel economy, the 2005 Suburban extends that leadership with enhancements that lead to a nearly one mpg fuel economy improvement. The 2005 Suburban features an all-electric cooling system (compared to fan and fan clutch on 2004 models). The all-electric cooling system consists of two 200-watt electric fan packages and an improved dissipation radiator. The new cooling system provides a number of advantages: - A reduction in parasitic losses due to disengaged fan speed with a corresponding increase in combined city/highway fuel economy - A significant improvement in idle A/C performance (driver/passenger comfort) as well as an ability to idle with A/C on for extended periods in very high ambient temperatures - A reduction in customer complaints normally attributed to unusual engine noise or transmission noise/delayed shift, which are actually fan noise issues. A new voltage control system monitors the battery's charge status and controls the vehicle's generator to minimize parasitic voltage loss. Aerodynamic changes also were made to improve fuel economy. For example, tow hook and fog light openings are now sealed when those items are not ordered on the vehicle. The center hole in the front air deflector also was sealed; an extension was added to the front air deflector; and the aerodynamics for the running boards were improved. Stability and Quadrasteer control In addition to a wide choice of powertrain options, Suburban can be equipped with either two- or four-wheel drive and several steering and stability enhancement systems. GM's StabiliTrak system is available on half-ton 2WD or 4WD models with the Vortec 5300 5.3L V-8 engine (not available with Z71). In addition, 2WD Suburbans with a locking rear differential can be equipped with electronic traction assist. StabiliTrak helps the driver maintain control in sudden maneuvers, particularly in low traction conditions, in emergency lane changes and during avoidance maneuvers. StabiliTrak assists the vehicle in maintaining the driver's intended path by applying a brake force at any corner of the vehicle independent of the driver's use of the brake pedal. StabiliTrak uses an accelerator pedal position sensor, a brake master cylinder pressure sensor and a steering wheel angle sensor as inputs to interpret the driver's desired path and whether to accelerate or decelerate the vehicle. StabiliTrak also uses these sensors plus a lateral accelerometer and yaw rate sensor to determine the vehicle's actual path. If the difference between the driver's desired path and the vehicle's actual path becomes great enough, StabiliTrak takes appropriate action to assist the driver with maintaining the desired path. If the vehicle begins to "snowplow," or understeer, StabiliTrak applies the inside rear brake to help turn the vehicle. If the vehicle begins to fishtail, or oversteer, StabiliTrak applies the outside front brake to straighten the vehicle. StabiliTrak is integrated with the traction control and ABS systems. Suburban was the first full-size SUV to offer the revolutionary control and handling benefits of Quadrasteer - a four-wheel steering system available on 2500 series 2WD and 4WD models. Quadrasteer offers low-speed maneuverability and high-speed stability, handling and control ideal for pulling a trailer. At low speeds, Quadrasteer enables the rear wheels to turn in the opposite direction of the front wheels. That helps the vehicle make tighter turns such as when cornering or getting into a tight parking space. Quadrasteer reduces Suburban's turning circle by about 20 percent compared with models not equipped with this innovative steering system. At higher speeds, the system reduces vehicle yaw, or rotational motion, for more control during lane changes and demanding conditions. Interior flexibility, comfort Suburban has enough space to comfortably seat eight adults, or stack 4-foot by 8-foot (1.2-meter by 2.4-meter) panels on the load floor with the liftgate closed and rear seats removed. If extra hauling is required, Suburban can tow up to 12,000 pounds (5,443 kg) when properly equipped. Besides a high degree of flexibility, every Suburban is equipped with a long list of comfort and convenience items that have helped give this vehicle such a loyal customer following. Standard items include power windows with driver express-down, power door locks, cruise control, tilt-adjustable steering wheel, multi-lingual driver information center, temperature and compass displays integrated in the inside rearview mirror, and deep-tint glass aft of the B-pillar. A tri-zone, manually controlled heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system is standard, enabling the driver and front passenger to adjust the temperature to their individual comfort levels, providing up to a 30-degree Fahrenheit (13.9-degree Celsius) difference between the two front zones. Manual rear air conditioning also is standard. An available tri-zone automatic HVAC system with rear electronic climate control provides second-row passengers with automatically controlled temperature settings independent from those of the front passengers, for true tri-zone comfort. Other available driver options include exterior mirrors with power-tilt glass and power folding for narrow spaces; heating elements that clear frost, snow or ice; left-side electrochromatic glass that automatically dims headlight glare; puddle lights; turn-signal indicators in the glass; and a memory feature. An available power-adjustable camper mirror can be extended to a vehicle width of as much as 106 inches (269 cm). Comprehensive safety and security Suburban has a full complement of safety and security features, starting with dual-stage frontal air bags for supplemental protection for front seat passengers. Dual-stage frontal air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of air bag-induced injury. When the air bag system's control unit detects an impact, it determines whether the crash is severe enough to trigger a deployment and whether the primary amount of inflation is sufficient. The primary stage alone will deploy in most frontal impacts requiring the supplemental protection of an air bag, while a secondary stage is designed to deploy in more severe frontal collisions. The Suburban also has GM's Passenger Sensing System (PSS). PSS uses the latest sensing technology to turn the front passenger air bag on or off. If the sensor system detects an unoccupied front passenger seat or the presence of a smaller occupant, the front passenger air bag is deigned to automatically turn off so it would not deploy in the event of a frontal collision. A status indicator on the instrument panel alerts occupants that the passenger air bag is on or off. Even with this system, GM strongly recommends to restrain child passengers in an appropriate child seat placed in the second or third row of the vehicle. Never install a rear-facing infant seat in front of an active air bag. GM also recommends that all children 12 and under ride in the rear seat when possible. Other standard safety and security features include the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) child-seat attachment system in the rear seats, and GM's PASSLock II theft deterrent system. The LATCH system provides two lower anchors and a top tether anchor to be used to secure a child seat to the vehicle seat structure. These anchorages are designed to make it easier to properly install compatible child safety seats. Also standard are four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with Hydroboost, a feature that provides more reserve power assist for braking under specific conditions. Additional safety and convenience features include available driver and front-passenger side air bags, and power-adjustable brake and accelerator pedals optional on LS, and standard on LT and Z71 models. Unlimited entertainment choices Suburban can be equipped with an almost unlimited selection of entertainment systems to make any journey more enjoyable - from an available Bose sound system to a Panasonic DVD Passenger Entertainment System. These systems feature the next-generation Radio Data System and can interface with services such as the optional XM Satellite Radio (continental U.S. only). Available rear-seat audio controls allow second-row passengers to enjoy a separate audio source from front-seat occupants. An available custom-designed Bose audio system uses a high-powered six-channel amplifier and an eight-speaker sound system with sub-woofer. OnStar-equipped Suburbans feature new sixth-generation hardware with digital and analog coverage. OnStar's Gen 6 hardware also includes upgraded hands-free voice recognition capabilities including more intuitive continuous digit dialing and improved voice recognition accuracy. OnStar is the leading provider of in-vehicle safety, security and information services in the United States and Canada. Using the GPS satellite network and wireless technology, OnStar features core safety services and OnStar Personal Calling that allows drivers to make and receive hands-free, voice-activated phone calls using a powerful three-watt digital/analog system and external antenna for greater reception. 2005 CHEVROLET UPLANDER | New for 2005 Vehicle Highlights Front- or all-wheel-drive crossover sport van Bold SUV appearance combined with mid-van flexibility Standard 3500 3.5L V-6 with 200 horsepower (149 kw) Seven-passenger seating with ample cargo room and innovative rear storage system Foldable, removable second- and third-row seats 50/50 split-stowable third row, fold-flat bench seat Overhead rail system with snap-in storage compartments Dual-stage frontal air bags and available side-impact air bags for driver and front-seat passenger Optional Versatrak on-demand all-wheel-drive system Remote vehicle starter system available Wide range of entertainment choices including standard DVD rear-passenger entertainment system and optional Mobile Digital Media powered by PhatNoise system, which allows storage of hundreds of hours of music, movies and other entertainment onto hard drive cartridge* Mobility accessories available OnStar Gen 6 hardware with digital/analog coverage and upgraded hands-free capability *Not available at start of production CHEVROLET UPLANDER: SUV STYLING WITH MID-VAN FAMILY CONVENIENCE Chevrolet adds a new dimension to the mid-van segment with the 2005 Uplander, a crossover sport van for those who want it all: the bold styling of an SUV, the passenger room and interior versatility of a van, and the smooth ride and fuel efficiency of a sedan. With the ability to carry seven people in comfort plus plenty of cargo, the Uplander lineup includes front-wheel-drive passenger models available in base, LS and LT trim, as well as an all-wheel-drive passenger van and front-wheel-drive commercial-use cargo van. Uplander is powered by an overhead valve 3500 3.5L V-6, rated at 200 horsepower (149 kw) and coupled to GM's proven Hydra-Matic 4T65-E electronically controlled automatic overdrive transaxle. When properly equipped, Uplander can tow up to 3,500 pounds. While front-wheel drive is standard, the Versatrak all-wheel-drive system is available on LT models, giving this crossover sport van even more capability. GM's exclusive Versatrak all-wheel-drive system is lightweight, quiet and efficient. The on-demand system is one of the most advanced approaches to all-wheel drive. If one or both front wheels lose grip, the Versatrak system goes into action automatically, with no buttons to push or levers to throw. The system is poised to help drivers make use of the traction available by not only transferring torque from front to rear, but also from side to side between the rear wheels - an ability not found in many competitive systems. Uplander also is offered with StabiliTrak, GM's advanced Vehicle Stability Enhancement System. StabiliTrak assists the vehicle in maintaining the driver's intended path by applying a brake force at any corner of the vehicle independent of the driver's use of the brake pedal. StabiliTrak uses an accelerator pedal position sensor, a brake master cylinder pressure sensor and a steering wheel angle sensor as inputs to interpret the driver's desired path and whether to accelerate or decelerate the vehicle. StabiliTrak also uses these sensors plus a lateral accelerometer and yaw rate sensor to determine the vehicle's actual path. If the difference between the driver's desired path and the vehicle's actual path becomes great enough, StabiliTrak takes appropriate action to assist the driver with maintaining the desired path. If the vehicle begins to "snowplow," or understeer, StabiliTrak applies the inside rear brake to help turn the vehicle. If the vehicle begins to fishtail, or oversteer, StabiliTrak applies the outside front brake to straighten the vehicle. StabiliTrak is integrated with the traction control and ABS systems. StabiliTrak is not available on models equipped with Versatrak. Comfort and response Uplander has as standard an extensive list of comfort and convenience items, such as air conditioning, power windows and power door locks, tilt-adjustable steering column, and an AM/FM stereo with CD and MP3 player. A standard, all-new four-wheel anti-lock disc brake system, 17-inch wheels and tires, a rigid chassis structure and long 121.1-inch (3077 mm) wheelbase all contribute to Uplander's smooth and precise car-like characteristics. Also contributing to Uplander's smooth ride and agile handling is an independent front suspension. MacPherson struts and stabilizer bars up front provide responsive road manners, while the rear suspension utilizes aluminum short and long (SLA) control arms and automatic load-leveling shock absorbers for improved stability, particularly when cornering over rough pavement. Near-endless interior versatility With comfortable seating for up to seven, Uplander's interior is extremely versatile, with almost unlimited combinations of passenger and cargo space configurations. Both the second- and third-row seats are foldable and removable. Second-row bucket seats can be folded and tumbled up against the front seats for increased cargo space, and the third-row fold-flat bench seat has a 50/50 split for added passenger/cargo flexibility. Uplander also offers an innovative and flexible rear convenience center/cargo system. With its doors closed, the box-like cargo system's height lines up with that of the folded third-row seat, providing a flat load floor, with more depth for carrying items behind the second row. Overall, there is up to 136.5 cubic feet (3,865L) of cargo space. Other innovative storage features include an overhead rail system, which integrates into a single unit lighting and rear HVAC/audio controls along with features such as a standard rear-seat entertainment/DVD system. Snap-in storage and accessory modules are available to store smaller personal items, such as sunglasses, CDs or cellular phones. Second-row captain's chairs are standard on the uplevel LT and available on the LS. On models with second-row captain's chairs, available convenience trays with pop-up beverage holders between the first- and second-row seats fold easily out of the way for pass-through between seats. A second-row console is available with models equipped with second-row bucket seats. Innovative exterior styling Uplander's innovative styling combines the best attributes of vans with the bold look of a sport-utility vehicle. Its prominent Chevrolet horizontal mid-grille band and large, chrome-ringed grille accentuates its SUV-like appearance. From the side, Uplander's wide, exposed C-pillars also reinforce its SUV look, while 17-inch wheels and wider tires contribute to its sturdy stance. Gray molding covers the rocker panels and extends to lower front and rear fascias, creating an SUV-like skid-plate. An optional roof rack completes the picture with tubular-shaped, satin finish side rails. Total safety and security approach Uplander is engineered to be among the safest vehicles in the mid-van segment, and is designed for outstanding performance in real-world crashes. Notable features include structural enhancements to the frame using high-strength steel. A long front-end compartment provides a large crush zone to preserve interior space, while longer and stronger engine compartment side frame rails increase energy absorption in the event of a frontal impact. All seven seating positions have three-point safety belts. Retractors for front seating positions have built-in load limiters that allow a controlled amount of give in the belt, thereby reducing the peak load on the chest during the "ride down" in a crash. The Uplander also has pretensioners in the front safety belt system that deploy at the same time as the frontal air bags to take up slack in the safety belt webbing. Pretensioners also help reduce the amount of occupant movement in the event of a crash to help reduce the risk of injury. The Uplander is equipped with the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system in all second-row seating positions. This system provides two lower anchors and a top tether anchor to be used to secure a child seat to the vehicle seat structure. A top tether is also provided in the center position of the third row. These anchorages are designed to make it easier to properly install compatible child safety seats. Standard, front dual-stage air bags for both driver and front passenger are designed to help reduce the risk of air bag-induced injury. When the air bag system's control unit detects an impact, it determines whether the crash is severe enough to trigger a deployment, and whether the primary amount of inflation is sufficient. The primary stage alone will deploy in most front impacts requiring the supplemental protection of an air bag, while a secondary stage is designed to deploy in more severe frontal collisions. In addition, the Uplander has GM's Passenger Sensing System (PSS). PSS uses the latest sensing technology to turn the front passenger air bag on or off. If the sensor system detects an unoccupied front passenger seat or the presence of a smaller occupant, the front passenger air bag is designed to automatically turn off so it would not deploy in the event of a frontal collision. A status indicator on the instrument panel alerts occupants that the passenger air bag is on or off. Even with this system, GM strongly recommends to restrain child passengers in an appropriate child seat placed in the second or third row of the vehicle. Optional seat-mounted side-impact air bags also help provide head and torso protection for both the front passenger and the driver. Daytime running lamps are standard on all models. Uplander also comes standard with GM's PASSKey III theft deterrent system. All Uplander models come with the OnStar system, including a one-year subscription to the Safe & Sound plan. OnStar-equipped Uplanders feature new sixth-generation hardware with digital and analog coverage. OnStar's Gen 6 hardware also includes upgraded hands-free voice recognition capabilities including more intuitive continuous digit dialing and improved voice recognition accuracy. OnStar is the leading provider of in-vehicle safety, security and information services in the United States and Canada. Using the GPS satellite network and wireless technology, OnStar features core safety services and OnStar Personal Calling that allows drivers to make and receive hands-free, voice-activated phone calls using a powerful three-watt digital/analog system and external antenna for greater reception. GM Mobility options A range of Mobility packages is available for Uplander, for customers who transport passengers or themselves but need easier access to enter or exit a vehicle. One such feature is a dealer-installed Sit-N-Lift power seat. Operated by a hand-held remote control, this innovative seat rotates and extends out from the right side of the vehicle's second-row seating area to provide easy transfer from a standing position or from a wheelchair. The Sit-N-Lift seat is mounted in the original seat attachments and is installed in place of the second-row passenger seat. Available as a regular production accessory and as an accessory kit through GM Parts Operation, Sit-N-Lift requires no permanent vehicle modifications. PhatNoise leads entertainment choices Uplander's range of available in-vehicle entertainment choices is unprecedented. From available XM Satellite Radio (continental U.S. only) to a standard DVD player with flip-down screen and integrated controls, longer drives become more enjoyable. For the ultimate in-vehicle entertainment system, Uplander can be equipped with the segment-exclusive Mobile Digital Media Powered by PhatNoise system (available interim 2005). The available PhatNoise system is a wallet-sized, 40-gigabyte hard drive cartridge that installs in the Uplander's overhead rail system. The system's capabilities include: - Storing and playing back up to 10,000 songs in MP3, WMA or WAV formats - Storing and playing up to 40 movies in MPEG format (standard format for movies) - Storing and playing a combination of songs and movies - The ability to provide the software for playing classic video games - A voice-browsing interface - if the driver wants to listen to music, the system tells him or her over the radio speakers the song's name, allowing the driver to navigate through a list of stored music using steering wheel buttons - Listening to books, magazine or newspaper articles recorded on a PC - Allowing simultaneous listening to two entertainment sources - Transferring digital camera pictures through a USB port in the PhatNoise cartridge and playing them back on the DVD screen The PhatNoise system's hard drive cartridge is easily removable, so it can be connected to a home PC or laptop to download computer files for playback in the Uplander, giving passengers an unprecedented level of entertainment customization. 2005 Chevrolet Kodiak and GMC TopKick | New for 2005 Four-wheel-drive system available on C4500 and C5500 models Allison transmissions recalibrated, backed by longer warranty 120,000-psi heat-treated frame included on C6500-C8500 models Two-person seat option available on all models CHEVROLET KODIAK, GMC TOPKICK DELIVER DURABILITY, PERFORMANCE AND FOR 2005, FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE CAPABILITY Chevrolet Kodiak and GMC TopKick continue to deliver more of what customers demand from their medium-duty trucks. For the 2005 model year, more refers to off-road capability, thanks to factory-engineered four-wheel drive on C4500 and C5500 models. Four-wheel-drive Kodiaks and TopKicks begin production in July 2004. The GM-installed four-wheel-drive option is something commercial customers and dealers have been asking for, said Elliott Benson, product manager for the Kodiak and TopKick C4500 and C5500 models. This response should exceed customer expectations across a wide range of industries, including forestry, snow plowing, landscaping, agriculture, tree trimming, utility work, and more. These new models will also meet the needs of retail buyers who demand four-wheel drive. As Benson explained, many of these commercial users operate their vehicles off-road, where traction is critical. Being stuck at a work site or not being able to reach the site can carry tremendous costs for owners. Not only are these 4x4s able to get to the job, they bring with them enhanced agility. These trucks can make surprisingly tight turns in confined areas, providing a tremendous advantage, whether youre plowing a parking lot or maneuvering in a tight construction site, Benson said. Versatility is the name of the game for GMs medium duty customers. Four-wheel-drive Kodiak and TopKick models, for example, are available in a variety of wheelbases ranging from 152 inches (386 cm) to 235 inches (597 cm) in both Regular Cab and Crew Cab configurations. These go-anywhere medium duty trucks are powered by either the standard Vortec 8100MD V-8 gasoline engine or the available Duramax 6600 V-8 Turbo Diesel. Both powertrains are mated to the proven Allison 1000 Series five-speed automatic transmission. Enhancing these vehicles off-road capability is an electronically controlled New Venture Gear Model NV273 two-speed transfer case, and aninstrument panel-mounted rotary selector switch for 4L, 4H and 2H drive settings. Four-wheel-drive Kodiak and TopKick models also feature manually activated front locking hubs for additional traction capability and a heavy-duty off-road skid plate to protect the transfer case. To enable engine power to be optimized for various operating conditions, all C4500/C5500 Series Kodiak and TopKick models feature electronic throttle control. It permits throttle progression to be optimized, giving the medium duty 4x4s outstanding throttle control for slow-speed parking lot maneuvers, as well as an immediate response when power is demanded under the most rugged off-road conditions. Four-wheel-drive C4500/C5500 Series Kodiaks and TopKicks measure up well against the competition in a number of areas. Superior off-road performance, outstanding maneuverability, stronger frames (80,000 psi/610,400 RBM), larger brakes (15-inch discs, front and rear) and more combine to create an outstanding product available only from GM dealers. Even the convenient instrument panel-mounted rotary switch used to engage the transfer case demonstrates the commitment to end-users; the competitor uses a floor-mounted mechanical shift lever. In addition to all of the product superlatives, Kodiak and TopKick 4x4 models give our customers the peace of mind that comes from knowing that the four-wheel-drive design and components are fully integrated and validated by GM for the C4500/C5500 and are covered by a comprehensive GM warranty, Benson said. Enhanced calibration and warranty coverage for Allison transmissions To better meet the needs of vocational applications, many of the Allison transmissions have been recalibrated, and theyre now backed by longer warranties for 2005. For example, the Allison 1000 PTS and 2200 PTS, used for pupil transportation and shuttle series on C4500/C5500 models, feature a unique calibration for lock-up in third gear versus lockup in second gear for the previous model. Both transmissions now feature a three-year, 100,000-mile limited warranty. The Allison 1000 EVS used with Fire Rescue and Ambulance packages on C4500/C5500 models features a five-year, unlimited mileage limited warranty. The Allison 1000 MH and 2200 MH featured on C4500/C5500 motor home series meanwhile, are backed by a two-year, 100-percent parts and labor coverage warranty, plus a three-year extended transmission coverage. Mileage coverage is extended to 200,000 miles. Allison vocational transmissions also are added on C6500 and C7500 models for 2005. A 2500 HS Allison transmission replaces the 2000 Series transmission in all applications. Thanks to the 2500 HS, the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) is increased to 33,000 pounds for 2005 versus 30,000 pounds for 2004. The Allison 3000 RDS close-ratio six-speed automatic transmission becomes the base transmission on C8500 models and is available on C6500 and C75000 models. A number of other transmission choices are also available. (Please see the accompanying specification pages for a complete listing of engine and transmission choices.) Maneuverability, visibility Class-leading attributes of Kodiak and TopKick begin with their maneuverability. Their wider front track permits a 53-degree wheel cut, resulting in a turning diameter as tight as 47 feet (14.3 m). In addition, their sloped-hood design and large windshield provide improved visibility for safety and a better view of the job site. Kodiak and TopKick also feature state-of-the-art exterior mirrors that are attached to the body-side cowl, reducing vibration during operation. These mirrors can fold forward and backward, making them less prone to damage. The net result of the trucks design is the ability to see objects on the ground as close as 13.8 feet (4.2 m) in front of the truck (as measured from the front bumper), giving a 13-foot (4 m) sight advantage over comparable competitive models (with their average of 26.8 feet (8.2 m)). Thats even better than the forward visibility measurements of many compact pickup trucks. Reliable, durable and efficient Already boasting the least amount of unscheduled downtime in their class, according to J. D. Power and Associates, these medium-duty trucks have been designed to provide even more reliability and durability. They are also easier to service, should repairs become necessary. A unique service design, called "Priority Access System," integrates components into major modules within the engine compartment. This allows groups of parts to be removed by a technician either independently or in sequence, depending on how much accessibility is required. Other upgrades have been engineered to increase reliability and lower the overall cost of ownership. For instance, all C4500 and C5500 Series models are designed off a medium-duty chassis featuring a more robust and durable foundation frame that is constructed with higher 50,000- and 80,000-psi-strength steel. For 2005, C6500-C8500 models use a 120,000-psi heat-treated frame for an even stronger frame rating. Compared to C4500 and C5500 models, C6500-C8500 feature larger frames and offer a wider selection of wheelbases and single and tandem rear-axle configurations to accommodate larger bodies. Single-axle models can easily accommodate bodies up to 30 feet (9.1 m) without requiring any extra-cost frame extensions. Braking-system design improvements include longer design life and a simpler disc-brake-pad removal and replacement process. The electrical system has been redesigned to take advantage of new multiplexing technology, meaning fewer wires and connections doing more work with less complexity. And a whole host of new service-design features have been engineered into the Duramax engines, resulting in higher durability and lower operating costs. Plenty of power and torque In medium-duty trucks, power and torque are the names of the game. The Chevrolet Kodiak and GMC TopKick lineups deliver with powertrains that range from the Vortec 8100 8.1L gasoline V-8 engine that is standard on the C4500-C7500 models, to the Duramax 7800 7.8L inline six-cylinder diesel of the Kodiak and TopKick C8500 models. For those seeking more horsepower and torque, C4500 and C5500 models offer the Duramax 6600 V-8 diesel engine, while the C6500-C8500 offer the Caterpillar 3126E I-6 diesel engine. (For specific powertrain applications and performance ratings, please see the accompanying specification pages.) World-class braking Class-leading power is supplemented by world-class braking. C4500-C7500 models feature new hydraulic four-wheel anti-lock disc brake systems with standard four-channel ABS, electronic brake distribution and available traction control. The C4500 and C5500 trucks use two systems to optimize performance for particular GVW requirements, with both offering reduced stopping distances, lower pedal effort and quieter, longer-life operation. C6500-C8500 models, meanwhile, feature low-drag, opposed four-piston, fixed-caliper brake design with diameters sized to particular GVW load requirements. Premium, high-capacity 70-mm, four-piston brake systems are now standard on both the front and rear. All Crew Cab models feature the HydroMax brake booster for brake actuation. Both HydroMax and Hydroboost (used on some conventional cab vehicles) operate on the same principle, with the power steering pump supplying the booster power. A tandem (split) master cylinder provides the independent front and rear circuits for the hydraulic brake system. Sensors warn the driver of "low fluid" or secondary brake failure. Modifications made easy The key to low-cost modifications rests with new superior-strength frames. All models share a stamped, straight-section, C-channel frame, providing maximum strength and a clean back-of-cab design for easy, low-cost body and equipment installations. By using three variations of frame strength, Kodiak and TopKick Class 4-5 models optimize weight- and load-carrying capability for their specific applications, without requiring any reinforcement. The C4500 and C5500 frames are so strong that even the lowest-rated frame has a higher strength rating than the 36,000-psi rating of comparable competitive frames. New cross members are web-mounted to the frame, providing additional torsional stiffness and rigidity. The stronger, longer frames allow wheelbases ranging up to 235 inches (597 cm), with plenty of rear overhang for upfitter applications. Fuel tanks, available in multiple capacities, are mounted cleanly between the frame rails. They include 100-gallon (379L) capacity provided by dual tanks on Class 6-8 models. Smoother, quieter ride All Kodiak and TopKick models improve on the best-in-class ride and handling features of the previous-generation C-Series. All models feature a new three-point cab mounting system that on the C6500-C8500 models incorporates a specially designed "bridge support" at the rear for extra isolation. New seat option For greater interior versatility, along with increased roominess for a center passenger, all Kodiak and TopKick models offer a two-person seat option for 2005. The seat is available in gray vinyl only and features fixed seatbacks. To make room for the seat, the center console and cupholder have been removed and the cigarette lighter option is no longer available. The two-person seat option is available on all Regular Cab models with automatic transmissions and air brake manual transmissions. Expanded model range The Kodiak and TopKick C4500 and C5500 Series are available in Crew Cab, Regular and Commercial Cutaway Chassis Cabs, as well as vocational packages to cover school bus, fire and rescue, ambulance, shuttle bus, wrecker and snowplow requirements. For larger tasks, the Kodiak and TopKick C6500, C7500 and C8500 Series (Class 6, 7, 8) trucks offer Regular and Commercial Cutaway Chassis Cab offerings, along with the Crew Cab and T-Series. This model range also includes LoPro (low profile) and Tandem axle variants. The Chevrolet Kodiak and GMC TopKick line of medium-duty trucks are produced at the Flint Assembly Plant in Flint, Mich. The plant features state-of-the-art machinery and best practices, resulting in consistently high quality and quick customer delivery. 2005 CHEVY TAHOE | New for 2005 Improved fuel economy 2WD model available on Z71 off-road package Improved cooling system with enhanced passenger comfort and less noise Rear liftgate with lifting rear glass standard on all models OnStar driver safety and security system, featuring Gen 6 hardware with analog/digital coverage and upgraded hands-free capabilities, standard on all equipment groups Touch-screen navigation radio available Revised interior trim for LS and LT models 160-amp alternator replaces 145-amp version as standard Upgraded tire pressure monitoring system with individual tire alert Redesigned assist steps for improved aerodynamics, durability 17-inch 5-spoke aluminum wheels now included on LT package New exterior colors: Sandstone Metallic, Bermuda Blue Metallic CHEVROLET TAHOE: LEADER AMONG FULL-SIZE SUVS Chevy Tahoe enters 2005 with several notable refinements and upgrades designed to further solidify its position as North America's best-selling full-size SUV because of its premium appointments, refined ride and handling, and outstanding levels of safety and capability. GM's OnStar safety and security system is standard in all equipment groups for 2005. All Tahoes also have a rear liftgate with lift-up glass and side-sill assist steps have been redesigned for improved aerodynamics and durability. Additional functional changes include a more powerful standard alternator - 160 amps versus 145 - as well as new standard and optional rear axle ratios for both two- and four-wheel-drive models. Tahoe's tire pressure monitoring system has been revised to identify the specific tire, replacing the general alert system (does not include spare). Notable equipment group revisions for 2005 include the availability of two-wheel drive on the Z71 off-road performance package; a new optional stereo system with a touch-screen navigation system; and 17-inch, five-spoke aluminum wheels now included as part of the uplevel LT package. Two new exterior colors are offered for both Tahoe LS and LT: Sandstone Metallic and Bermuda Blue Metallic. Powertrains Tahoe's powertrain lineup includes GM's Vortec 4800 4.8L V-8 as standard, rated at 285 horsepower (213 kw) and 295 lb.-ft. (400 Nm) of torque. Owners seeking even more power and capability can choose the Vortec 5300 5.3L V-8, which generates 295 horsepower (220 kw) and 330 lb.-ft. (447 Nm) of torque. GM's Hydra-Matic 4L60-E four-speed automatic transmission is standard with both engines. Tahoe can tow up to 7,700 pounds (3,493 kg) when properly equipped. Improved fuel economy The 2005 Tahoe extends its fuel economy leadership with four major enhancements that lead to a nearly one mpg fuel economy improvement. The 2005 Suburban features an all-electric cooling system (compared to fan and fan clutch on 2004 models). The all-electric cooling system consists of two 200-watt electric fan packages and an improved-dissipation radiator. The new cooling system provides a number of advantages: - A reduction in parasitic losses due to disengaged fan speed with a corresponding increase in combined city/highway fuel economy - A significant improvement in idle A/C performance (driver/passenger comfort) as well as an ability to idle with A/C on for extended periods in very high ambient temperatures - A reduction in customer complaints normally attributed to unusual engine noise or transmission noise/delayed shift, which are actually fan noise issues A new voltage control system monitors the battery's charge status and controls the vehicle's generator to minimize parasitic voltage loss. Aerodynamic changes also were made to improve fuel economy. For example, tow hook and foglamp openings are now sealed when those items are not ordered on the vehicle. The center hole in the front air deflector also is sealed; an extension was added to the front air deflector; and the aerodynamics for the running boards were improved. Roomy, flexible interior In addition to its powerful V-8 engines, Tahoe can be instantly reconfigured for any combination of passenger and cargo-carrying ability. Almost 105 cubic feet (2,962L) of cargo space is created when the second row seats are folded forward, creating a flat load floor. An optional third-row bench seat gives Tahoe room for up to nine passengers. Second-row seats provide easy access to the third row. The third-row rear seat has a 50/50 split-fold design to provide a variety of cargo/passenger configurations. The seats can be flipped forward and stowed for more cargo room, or individually and easily removed to create a flat load surface. Besides a high degree of versatility, every Tahoe has an extensive list of cabin comforts, such as power windows with driver express-down, power door locks, cruise control, tilt-adjustable steering wheel, multi-lingual driver information center, temperature and compass displays integrated into the rearview mirror, and deep-tint glass aft of the B-pillar. A tri-zone, manually controlled heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system is standard, enabling the driver and front passenger to adjust the temperature to their individual comfort levels - up to a 30-degree Fahrenheit (13.9-degree Celsius) difference between the two front zones. Manual rear air conditioning is also standard. An available tri-zone automatic HVAC system provides outstanding comfort. Rear electronic climate control is standard with the optional front system, providing second-row passengers with an automatically controlled temperature setting independent from the two front occupants, creating true tri-zone comfort. Available exterior mirrors feature power-tilt glass and power folding to protect them in narrow spaces; heating elements that clear frost, snow or ice; left-side electrochromatic glass that automatically dims headlight glare; puddle lights; turn-signal indicators in the glass; and a memory feature. An available power-adjustable camper mirror can be extended to a vehicle width of as much as 106 inches (2,692 mm). Power-adjustable brake and accelerator pedals are standard on LT and Z71 models, and optional on LS versions. Safety and security Tahoe has a full complement of safety and security features, starting with dual-stage frontal air bags for supplemental protection for front-seat passengers. Dual-stage frontal air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of air bag-induced injury. When the air bag system's control unit detects an impact, it determines whether the crash is severe enough to trigger a deployment, and whether the primary amount of inflation is sufficient. The primary stage alone will deploy in most frontal impacts requiring the supplemental protection of an air bag, while a secondary stage is designed to deploy in more severe frontal collisions. The Tahoe also has GM's Passenger Sensing System (PSS). PSS uses the latest sensing technology to turn the front passenger air bag on or off. If the sensor system detects an unoccupied front passenger seat or the presence of a smaller occupant, the front passenger air bag is designed to automatically turn off so it would not deploy in the event of a frontal collision. A status indicator on the instrument panel alerts occupants that the passenger air bag is on or off. Even with this system, GM strongly recommends to restrain child passengers in an appropriate child seat placed in the second or third row of the vehicle. Never install a rear-facing infant seat in front of an active air bag. GM also recommends that all children 12 and under ride in the rear seat when possible. Other standard safety and security features include the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) child-seat attachment system in the rear seats, and GM's PASSlock II theft deterrent system. The LATCH system provides two lower anchors and a top tether anchor to be used to secure a child seat to the vehicle seat structure. These anchorages are designed to make it easier to properly install compatible child safety seats. Also standard are four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with Hydroboost, a feature that provides more reserve power assist for braking under specific conditions. The system continues to provide sufficient power assist to stop the vehicle if the engine stalls or is turned off, by using power steering fluid pressure to decrease brake pedal effort. Tahoe's available safety and stability features include driver and front-passenger side air bags, traction assist on 2WD models, and GM's StabiliTrak system on all models equipped with the Vortec 5300 5.3L V-8 engine (except Z71 off-road package). StabiliTrak helps the driver maintain control in sudden maneuvers, particularly in low traction conditions, in emergency lane changes and during avoidance maneuvers. StabiliTrak assists the vehicle in maintaining the driver's intended path by applying a brake force at any corner of the vehicle independent of the driver's use of the brake pedal. StabiliTrak uses an accelerator pedal position sensor, a brake master cylinder pressure sensor and a steering wheel angle sensor as inputs to interpret the driver's desired path and whether to accelerate or decelerate the vehicle. StabiliTrak also uses these sensors plus a lateral accelerometer and yaw rate sensor to determine the vehicle's actual path. If the difference between the driver's desired path and the vehicle's actual path becomes great enough, StabiliTrak takes appropriate action to assist the driver with maintaining the desired path. If the vehicle begins to "snowplow," or understeer, StabiliTrak applies the inside rear brake to help turn the vehicle. If the vehicle begins to fishtail, or oversteer, StabiliTrak applies the outside front brake to straighten the vehicle. StabiliTrak is integrated with the traction control and ABS systems. StabiliTrak helps the driver maintain control in sudden maneuvers or low traction conditions. If the system determines that the vehicle is not responding appropriately to the driver's steering, StabiliTrak precisely reduces engine torque and applies precise amounts of pressure to the individual front brakes to slow the vehicle and help bring it back to its intended path. Wide choice of entertainment systems Impressive entertainment systems - from an available Bose sound system to a Panasonic DVD Passenger Entertainment System - add to Tahoe's comforts, especially on longer journeys. These systems (except the base fleet radio) feature the next-generation Radio Data System and can interface with services such as the optional XM Satellite Radio (continental U.S. only). Available rear-seat audio controls allow second-row passengers to enjoy a separate audio source from front-seat occupants. An available custom-designed Bose audio system uses a high-powered six-channel amplifier and an eight-speaker sound system with sub-woofer. XM Satellite Radio provides more than 120 coast-to-coast, digital-quality channels of original commercial-free music and premier news, sports and talk as well as advanced traffic and weather information for select major metropolitan areas nationwide. Consumers can subscribe to the basic service for $9.99 a month. In addition, GM customers with GMAC financing can choose to include the XM subscription in their car payments. OnStar-equipped Tahoes feature new sixth-generation hardware with digital and analog coverage. OnStar's Gen 6 hardware also includes upgraded hands-free voice recognition capabilities including more intuitive continuous digit dialing and improved voice recognition accuracy. OnStar is the leading provider of in-vehicle safety, security and information services in the United States and Canada. Using the GPS satellite network and wireless technology, OnStar features core safety services and OnStar Personal Calling that allows drivers to make and receive hands-free, voice-activated phone calls using a powerful three-watt digital/analog system and external antenna for greater reception. 2005 Chevrolet Silverado HD | Dimensions Exterior 2500HD / 3500 Regular Cab Long Box Wheelbase (in / mm): 133 / 3378 Overall length (in / mm): 2WD: 222.1 / 5641 4WD: 222.1 / 5641 Overall width (in / mm): 2WD: 79.7 / 2024 4WD: 96.1 / 2441 Overall height: (in / mm): 2WD: 2500HD: 76.2 / 1935 3500: 76.7 / 1948 4WD: 2500HD: 76.5 / 1943 3500: 76.7 / 1948 Track (in / mm): Front: 68.6 / 1742 Rear: 2500HD: 66 / 1676 3500: 74.7 / 1897 Minimum ground clearance (in / mm): 2WD (front): 2500HD: 8.6 / 218.4 3500: 8.8 / 223.5 (rear): 2500HD: 7.5 / 190.5 3500: 7.6 / 193 4WD (front): 2500HD: 8.9 / 226.1 3500: 8.8 / 223.5 (rear): 2500HD: 7.5 / 190.5 3500: 7.6 / 193 Step-in height (in / mm): 2WD: 2500HD: 24.9 / 632.5 3500: 25.4 / 645.2 4WD: 2500HD: 25.4 / 645.2 3500: 24.9 / 632.5 2500HD Extended Cab Std.

The 2005 Corvette is more competition-influenced than any previous Corvette. The goal was a performance car that would be at home in virtually any environment. That means raw performance, improved ride comfort, a precisely built and technically sophisticated interior and contemporary new body. "The sixth generation represents a comprehensive upgrade to the Corvette," said Dave Hill, Corvette chief engineer and GM Performance Cars vehicle line executive. "Our goal was to create a Corvette that does more things well than any other performance car." The car features dramatic new styling, the new 6.0L V-8 engine that produces 400 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque (298 kw and 542 Nm), a revised suspension and more powerful brakes. It delivers extreme performance capabilities and offers value, style, quality and comfort. The 2005 Coupe production begins in the summer of 2004, with the Convertible following in the fall of 2004. European sales begin in October, and other regions by early 2005. All models will be built in Bowling Green, Ky. Exterior styling The Corvette combines classic cues with an expressive new design. While the styling team used the latest advanced computer-aided design techniques, they relied heavily on traditional hand sculpting. Sculptors pored over every millimeter of the car's surface. The aerodynamic development combined digital simulations, Corvette Racing experience and more than 400 hours of wind tunnel testing. The driving force behind the exterior was to keep it fresh, yet distill the passion exemplified by the classic mid-year Corvettes of 1963-1967. The new Corvette is 5 inches (127 mm) shorter and about 1 inch (25 mm) narrower than its predecessor. Larger wheels (18-inch in front, 19-inch in rear) are topped by dramatic fender forms. Exposed headlamps (not seen on Corvettes since 1962) combine with the grille to create a stronger "face" on the car. The fixed Xenon High-Intensity Discharge lamps provide superior lighting performance. The Coupe's removable-roof panel is 15 percent larger, yet offers the same structural stiffness as C5's while weighing just 1 pound (0.45 kg) more. The tapered rear deck and fascia improve high-speed performance. The lean rear design sports round taillamps and center-exit exhaust. The ability to keep lines and surfaces smooth was supported by technology. For example, the Keyless Access system replaces traditional mechanical door and hatch handles with solenoids and electronic actuators. At 0.28 coefficient of drag, the C6 is the most aerodynamic Corvette ever, and has improved anti-lift characteristics that improve high-speed stability. The Corvette Convertible The 2005 Corvette features an optional power-operated soft top. An easy-to-operate manual top remains standard. Both configurations use a five-layer fabric that conceals the underlying structure for a good top-up appearance, plus it helps preserve the car's excellent aerodynamics and reduces road noise. Every option available on the Coupe can be had on the Convertible, including features new to the Corvette such as OnStar, XM Satellite Radio (continental U.S. only) and DVD navigation system. OnStar is the leading provider of in-vehicle safety, security and information services in the United States and Canada. Using the GPS satellite network and wireless technology, OnStar features core safety services and OnStar Personal Calling that allows drivers to make and receive hands-free, voice-activated phone calls using a powerful three-watt analog system and external antenna for greater reception. Power The 2005 Corvette features the new 6.0L V-8 LS2 engine based on GM's Gen IV small-block family. The LS2 is the most powerful standard small-block engine ever offered in Corvette, and features: - All-new 319-T5 aluminum deep-skirt block casting with cast-in-place iron cylinder bore liners and cross-bolted main caps - Cylinder head design derived from the C5 Z06 - Camshaft lift increased to take advantage of increased head flow - Revised exhaust manifolds are 34 percent lighter - Compression raised to 10.9:1 - More powerful engine controller incorporates all electronic throttle control (ETC) functions With base curb weight starting at 3,179 pounds/1,442 kg (Coupe) and 3,199 pounds/1,451 kg (Convertible) the new Corvette is significantly lighter than its predecessor. The car is capable of 186 mph (300 km/h), faster than any production Corvette in history. It reaches zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.2 seconds, and in 4.1 seconds with the optional Z51 Performance Package, and covers the quarter-mile in 12.6 seconds at 114 mph (183 km/h). Shifting gears The Tremec six-speed manual features improved shifting characteristics thanks to numerous upgrades, including new synchronizers that reduce travel by 10 percent, and a redesigned shifter lever. The Tremec is available with two sets of ratios. The more aggressive gear set is reserved for Corvette's Z51 Performance Package and is tailored with numerically higher gears to improve acceleration. Also, a numerically lower fifth gear gives the Z51 better fuel efficiency and a higher top speed than base models. To increase durability in sustained high-speed situations, the Z51 and the base European manual-transmission models have a transmission cooler. The Hydra-Matic 4L65-E automatic transmission is an upgraded version of the C5's 4L60-E, strengthened and revised to accommodate the LS2's torque. It includes GM's advanced Performance Algorithm Shifting, which automatically selects the optimal gear for a given driving condition. To beef up the internals, a five-pinion planetary gear set was added - replacing a four-pinion gear set. The extra gear reduces friction and loads carried by all the gears. For protection from the high temperatures that are generated by high speed, a four-plate oil cooler has been added. Settle inside The passion of the exterior's design is reflected in an all-new interior. Even with the car's more compact exterior dimensions, the new interior has just as much usable room - including class-leading cargo space that can swallow two golf bags. Greatly improved materials, craftsmanship and functionality help deliver premium quality meant to enhance performance driving. The theme was inspired by Corvette's dual-cockpit heritage, with a flowing, wraparound upper feature line. The result lends spaciousness to the passenger and a nestled cluster pod for the driver. The instrument panel and doors are covered with cast-skin foam-in-place trim that looks like a leather-wrapped, padded panel. It is warm and inviting and has double the life of conventional trim materials. Aluminum trim adds richness. An AM/FM radio with CD player and MP3 capability is standard. New technology enhances conventional radio reception. An improved optional Bose audio system with an in-dash six-disc changer and XM Satellite Radio (continental U.S. only) add to the choices available to the audiophile owner. A full-function OnStar system is available, and for the first time, Corvette offers onboard navigation as an option. Using a 6.5-inch (165 mm) color touch-screen display, the DVD-based system contains all the map data for the United States and Canada on one disc. Chassis Overall vehicle weight is significantly reduced, despite mass-increasing features such as larger wheels and tires, more robust brakes and increased body acoustics. It also delivers a quieter, more pleasing ride. The car retains the hydroformed steel rail backbone structure, which features cored composite floors, an enclosed center tunnel, rear-mounted transmission and aluminum cockpit structure. Suspension cradles, control arms, knuckles, springs, dampers, bushings, stabilizer bars and steering gear have all been redesigned. New Goodyear Extended Mobility Tires (EMT) take advantage of the latest sidewall design and compound technology for run-flat capabilities. Three suspension choices allow drivers to choose the setup that best suits their driving style. The standard suspension is tuned for a balance of ride comfort and precise handling. Corvette is now more poised at even higher handling levels, yet easier to drive. The optional F55 Magnetic Selective Ride Control suspension features magneto-rheological dampers able to detect road surfaces and adjust the damping rates to those surfaces almost instantly for optimal ride control. The system has been improved to deliver more differentiation between the system's "Tour" and "Sport" settings. The Z51 Performance Package brings Coupe performance very close to the widely admired C5 Z06. The Z51 offers more aggressive dampers and springs, larger stabilizer bars, and larger cross-drilled brake rotors (13.4 inches/340 mm in front and 13 inches/330 mm in rear) for optimum track performance while still providing a comfortable ride. With each suspension, three standard dynamic chassis control systems - anti-lock braking, traction control, and Active Handling - operate in concert. In all, the new dynamic chassis control systems are smarter, less intrusive and more adept at making the total driving experience precisely what drivers have come to expect from their Corvette. 2005 CHEVY EXPRESS | New for 2005 StabiliTrak standard on regular-wheelbase 12-passenger vans 2005 CHEVROLET EXPRESS DELIVERS A HIGHER DOSE OF SAFETY WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF STABILITRAK ON 12- AND 15-PASSENGER MODELS Because it transports both cargo and passengers, Chevy Express has always included a host of safety and security features. For interim 2005, it takes safety up a couple of notches, with the introduction of StabiliTrak on regular-wheelbase 12-passenger models. This follows the introduction of StabiliTrak on extended-wheelbase 12- and 15-passenger models during the 2004 model year. StabiliTrak helps drivers maintain vehicle control during certain difficult driving conditions, such as ice, snow, gravel, wet pavement and uneven road surfaces, as well as in emergency lane changes or avoidance maneuvers. "By adding this system, we will take what we believe is already a very safe van and make it safer," said Ray Chess, GM vehicle line executive, commercial trucks and vans. "This enhancement underscores GM's leadership in bringing this important safety technology to more customers." StabiliTrak at work StabiliTrak assists the vehicle in maintaining the driver's intended path by applying a brake force at any corner of the vehicle independent of the driver's use of the brake pedal. StabiliTrak uses an accelerator pedal position sensor, a brake master cylinder pressure sensor and a steering wheel angle sensor as inputs to interpret the driver's desired path and whether to accelerate or decelerate the vehicle. StabiliTrak also uses these sensors plus a lateral accelerometer and yaw rate sensor to determine the vehicle's actual path. If the difference between the driver's desired path and the vehicle's actual path becomes great enough, StabiliTrak takes appropriate action to assist the driver with maintaining the desired path. If the vehicle begins to "snowplow," or understeer, StabiliTrak applies the inside rear brake to help turn the vehicle. If the vehicle begins to fishtail, or oversteer, StabiliTrak applies the outside front brake to straighten the vehicle. StabiliTrak is integrated with the traction control and ABS systems. GM began installing stability enhancement systems in passenger cars in 1997 and now has more than two million equipped vehicles on the road. In addition to being the first automaker to equip 15-passenger vans with the system, GM was the first to install stability enhancement systems in full-size sport utility vehicles. "It's important to understand that no system is foolproof," said Robert C. Lange, GM executive director, structure and safety integration. "That is why we will continue to educate our customers on the unique operating characteristics of full-size, extended passenger vans, and that they should be operated only by experienced drivers. We also support the advice of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that drivers and passengers in vans - and all other vehicles - always use safety belts. And we remind all vehicle occupants to obey state seat-belt use and child-passenger safety laws." Strong Vortec power Chevy Express is powered by GM's Vortec Generation I engine - ranging from the economical Vortec 4300 V-6 to the powerful Vortec 6000 V-8. The 195-horsepower (145-kw) Vortec 4300 4.3L V-6 with multi-port fuel injection is the base engine for light-duty G-vans in all 50 states. A central fuel injector delivers a separate flow of fuel to six individual hybrid injectors for better performance and improved emissions. The Vortec 4800 4.8L V-8 cranks out 285 horsepower (213 kw) and is used for heavy-duty applications in the 2500 Series cargo vans. The Vortec 5300 5.3L V-8 has the ability to provide segment-leading acceleration. Used for light-duty applications, it churns out 295 horsepower (220 kw) and 330 lb.-ft. of torque (447 Nm), and is the standard engine in all-wheel-drive models. Those seeking more power can opt for the Vortec 6000 - the segment's most powerful V-8. It delivers 300 horsepower (224 kw) and 360 lb.-ft. of torque (488 Nm) when gasoline is used. The Vortec 6000 is also available as a bi-fuel or dedicated CNG engine. In that version, the Vortec 6000 delivers 285 horsepower (213 kw) and 325 lb.-ft. of torque (441 Nm). For greater ease during heavy-duty towing and hauling applications, Express features GM's unique tow/haul mode. It reduces the frequency and improves the predictability of transmission shifts when pulling a trailer or carrying a heavy load. Driving under control Express offers a four-wheel power disc brake system with ABS as standard equipment. The system features the responsive Hydroboost hydraulic assist power brake booster. Light- and heavy-duty models include Dynamic Rear Proportioning (DRP), which recognizes changes in wheel speed and load variation and adjusts the amount of pressure applied to the rear brakes appropriately. A three-piece, fully boxed frame increases torsional stiffness on the Express, contributing to improved ride and handling and better isolation from the road. Large stabilizer bars - 33 mm on light-duty models and 35 mm on vehicles with 8,600-pound (3,901kg) GVW and above - add stability. Standard 16-inch wheels provide for a more comfortable ride, and power rack-and-pinion steering on all light-duty models provides more precise control. Safety is a priority Chevy Express delivers a host of safety features, including standard dual-stage frontal air bags for supplemental protection for front-seat passengers in all light-duty models up to 7,300 pounds (3,311 kg) GVW. Dual-stage frontal air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of air bag-induced injury. When the air bag system's control unit detects an impact, it determines whether the crash is severe enough to trigger a deployment, and whether the primary amount of inflation is sufficient. The primary stage alone will deploy in most frontal impacts requiring the supplemental protection of an air bag, while a secondary stage is designed to deploy in more severe frontal collisions. Express also features driver- and front-passenger safety belts, three-point lap-and-shoulder belts in all first- and second-row seating positions and the LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system for child seats in passenger vans. Express offers the security and convenience of GM's OnStar system on passenger and conversion models. OnStar-equipped Express models feature new sixth-generation hardware with digital and analog coverage. OnStar's Gen 6 hardware also includes upgraded hands-free voice recognition capabilities including more intuitive continuous digit dialing and improved voice recognition accuracy. OnStar is the leading provider of in-vehicle safety, security and information services in the United States and Canada. Using the GPS satellite network and wireless technology, OnStar features core safety services and OnStar Personal Calling that allows drivers to make and receive hands-free, voice-activated phone calls using a powerful three-watt digital/analog system and external antenna for greater reception. Attention to the details It isn't always just about power or performance. Express also attends to the details that sometimes can be overlooked. Express has supportive front seats, excellent lighting, quality fit and finish on panels, and safer trim. Express has integrated armrests, door pull handles, window and lock control switches and mirrors. Front doors include storage pockets. An added storage tray, twin trip odometers, a second power outlet, a third console cupholder, loop-style coat hooks and durable carpeting also are provided. Power exterior rearview mirrors, available on some models, offer integrated turn-signal indicators along with remote control and are electrically heated. Express continues to offer superb features such as the wide rear cargo-door openings and the low step-in heights. Express vans also continue to offer a wide selection of high-quality audio system choices, including AM/FM stereo, seek/scan, clock, cassette, single-CD player or six-disc CD changer. Model lineup Express comes in both regular (135-inch / 3,429 mm) and extended (155-inch / 3,937 mm) wheelbase lengths, and can provide 8-, 12- or 15-person capacity. Cargo vans, available in the same wheelbase lengths, offer seating for two. The cutaways, which can be converted to various commercial, school bus and RV requirements, are available in 139-inch (3,531 mm), 159-inch (4,039 mm) and 177-inch (4,496 mm) wheelbase lengths.

It debuted in December 2003 at the Los Angeles Auto Show as an all-new 2005 model, and targets the premium small car buyer. The Cobalt is intended to deliver a driving experience not expected in the compact car segment, along with a higher level of refinement, quality and performance. It's meant to be all that, and fun to drive, as well. Models The Cobalt family includes multiple coupe and sedan models, giving small car buyers great variety. The sedan model features Base, LS and LT trims, while coupe models are available in Base, LS, and SS Supercharged trims. Each includes a specific interior, exterior appearance and wheels, as well as a long list of standard and available features. Pricing will be announced in late summer 2004. Expressive Chevrolet design "Our design approach on the Cobalt was to keep the exterior sheet metal clean and uncluttered, with a tailored, refined execution, giving the vehicle a premium exterior feel and appearance," said Phil Zak, Cobalt lead designer. The Cobalt family continues Chevrolet's refined, expressive design character. The sedan offers a stylish look coupled with a higher seating position for a more commanding view of the road. The coupe mimics the sedan from the A-pillar forward, but finishes from the A-pillar rearward with a tapered reverse C-pillar that leads to Chevrolet's signature four round taillamps. Several wheel options also are offered, including standard 15-inch wheels and available 16-inch, 17-inch, and 18-inch wheels, all with unique designs. The interior reflects the same attention to detail. The high level of refinement is apparent in the quality of materials, appointments and styling cues used throughout the cabin. Comfort is emphasized, with seats designed to reflect the various performance levels. Standard features Cobalt offers a long list of standard features including air conditioning, electric rear defogger, CD player and driver information center. Available features include heated leather seats, power sunroof, XM Satellite Radio (continental U.S. only), MP3 playback and OnStar. In addition, Cobalt features plenty of interior flexibility, including easy access to the rear seat, 60/40 folding rear seats, interior access to the trunk area, as well as ample, versatile storage. Dynamic driving experience With a strong structural foundation based on General Motors global Delta architecture, Cobalt delivers a dynamic driving experience with an array of engines, transmissions and suspensions (see chart below). Cobalt features a strut-type front suspension, semi-independent torsion beam rear suspension, and front and rear stabilizer bars for more exact body roll control. Speed sensitive electric power steering is tuned to match the performance levels of the various tire and suspension packages. The tight turning radius is 34.8 feet (10.6 meters) curb-to-curb. "The Delta architecture provides a solid foundation for a great compact car," said Doug Parks, Cobalt chief engineer. "With Cobalt, we focused on every detail. By selecting the right components and aggressively working on excellent ride and handling characteristics and noise reduction, we've engineered a small car with a truly premium feel." The underbody uses high-strength steel as welded members in strategic locations for maximum strength, structural integrity, mass optimization and crashworthiness. The underbody boasts a rigid bending frequency of nearly 27 Hz. Performance enhancements Vented front disc brakes with single-piston calipers and composite rear drum brakes are standard on the base models. Four channel anti-lock brakes (ABS) are standard on LS, and LT. Four-wheel disc brakes are standard on SS Supercharged models. Cobalt also offers an enhanced electronic traction control system on all models equipped with an automatic transmission and ABS. Noise reduction Cobalt's rigid cockpit structure helps provide a quiet ride as well as load-carrying capability for crash protection. Engine and decklid covers were extensively engineered to reduce noise, and the overall careful engineering of the entire vehicle help give the doors, trunk and hood a solid closing sound. Safety The rigid body structure that lays the foundation of Cobalt's dynamic driving experience also reinforces its safety. In addition to the solid unibody structure, dual-stage air bags are standard and side head curtain air bags are available. Front seat-belt pre-tensioners, rear center shoulder belts and the LATCH child seat retention system are also standard equipment. Powertrain specifics Cobalt offers buyers a variety of powertrain and suspension combinations that deliver three distinct levels ranging from maximized economy to race-inspired performance: Cobalt Model Ecotec Engine Cobalt & Cobalt LS (coupe and sedan) 2.2L 145 horsepower (108 kw) @5600 rpm 155 lb.-ft. torque (210 Nm) @4000 rpm Cobalt LT (sedan) 2.2L 145 horsepower (108 kw) @5600 rpm 155 lb.-ft. torque (210 Nm) @4000 rpm Cobalt SS Supercharged (coupe only) 2.0L SC 205 horsepower (152 kw) @5600 rpm 200 lb.-ft. torque (271 Nm) @4400 rpm Cobalt Model Standard Transmission Cobalt & Cobalt LS (coupe and sedan) Getrag F23/M86 5-speed manual Axle ratio 3.58:1 Cobalt LT (sedan) Hydra-Matic 4T45-E 4-speed automatic Axle ratio 3.63:1 Cobalt SS Supercharged (coupe only) FGP F35 5-speed manual Axle ratio 4.05:1 Cobalt Model Available Transmission Cobalt & Cobalt LS (coupe and sedan) Hydra-Matic 4T45-E 4-speed automatic Axle ratio 3.63:1 Cobalt LT (sedan) N/A Cobalt SS Supercharged (coupe only) N/A Cobalt Model Standard Suspension Cobalt & Cobalt LS (coupe and sedan) FE1 Premium Ride Cobalt LT (sedan) FE1 Premium Ride Cobalt SS Supercharged (coupe only) FE5 Performance Handling Although each Ecotec engine has distinct hardware differences and performance characteristics, all share the Ecotec family's solid basic architecture and all-aluminum construction with: - Dual overhead camshafts (DOHC) and four valves per cylinder - Twin counter-rotating balance shafts - Low-friction, roller-finger follower valvetrain with hydraulic lash adjusters - Zero-maintenance chain camshaft drive - Extremely compact dimensions and low mass - Direct mounting of all accessories to the engine structure to eliminate common sources of noise, vibration and harshness - Full circle transmission attachment is more rigid than most 4-cylinder powertrains for reduced noise and vibration - GM Oil Life System for optimum oil change frequency - No routine maintenance apart from oil/oil filter changes - Catalyst located close to the exhaust manifold to speed catalyst "light-off" and reduce hydrocarbon emissions - Innovative cast-in oil filter housing eliminates crawling under the car to perform oil changes. The design also eliminates throwaway oil-filter "cans" that retain used oil that typically ends up in landfills The Ecotec 2.0L SC in the Cobalt SS Supercharged coupe delivers 205 horsepower (152 kw). Development of this highest-performance Ecotec variant included GM Racing, GM High Performance Vehicle Operations (HPVO) and Saab. To attain durability targets, the Ecotec 2.0L SC received upgraded components in critical stress areas. Experience in the National Hot Rod Association's Championship Drag Racing series told engineers where the Ecotec would most benefit from heavy-duty components. Modified Ecotec engines routinely produce over 1,000 horsepower in drag racing trim. At the heart of the Ecotec 2.0L SC is an Eaton M62 helical roots-type supercharger. Engineers selected the Eaton unit because of its optimum response characteristics and ease of "packaging" with the Ecotec architecture. Maximum supercharger boost pressure is 12 pounds per square inch (psi), and the system includes an air-to-water intercooler that cools the incoming air charge to increase intake-charge density, which in turn enhances power and reduces the engine's propensity to "knock" at high boost levels. 2005 Chevrolet Silverado | Engine Vortec 4300 4.3L V-6 (LU3) Type: 4.3L V-6 Displacement (cu in / cc): 262 /

Available on all other models Exterior Appearance Package for Malibu base sedan includes body-color side moldings, 15-inch alloy wheels and rear spoiler Heated cloth seats available on Malibu sedan and Malibu Maxx LS 2005 MALIBU: REFINED PERFORMANCE, ADAPTABLE VERSATILITY, AND TAILORED COMFORT Introduced as a 2004 model, the all-new Malibu and Malibu Maxx made an immediate impression. The clean lines of the Malibu sedan were recognized as crisply tailored and the unique extended sedan design of the Malibu Maxx attracted customers while defying classification. Malibu delivers the performance and versatility of the best midsize sedans with the dependability and value that customers expect from Chevrolet. Plus, the Malibu adapts to different individuals and lifestyles with two body styles, flexible interiors and a full range of driver personalization features. From the B-pillar forward, the Malibu sedan and Malibu Maxx are identical. Rearward of the B-pillar, the two differ substantially. The five-door Malibu Maxx rides on a wheelbase that is 6 inches (15.2 cm) longer than the Malibu sedan, while its overall length is a half-inch (1.3 cm) shorter. The result is a spacious interior for a car its size. Performance "Anyone who has driven the previous version of the Malibu will immediately notice a firmer, quieter, more linear feel in the ride and handling of the new generation," said Gene Stefanyshyn, vehicle line executive for the Malibu and Malibu Maxx. Malibu's dynamic performance and refined composure starts with its foundation - the General Motors Epsilon global architecture. The Malibu and its Malibu Maxx stablemate were the first North American applications of the Epsilon architecture, which also provides the foundation for the Saab 9-3, Opel Vectra and the forthcoming Pontiac G6. The powertrain choices for the Malibus help bring out the best of the new architecture. The Malibu sedan gets power and fuel efficiency from its standard 144 horsepower (107 kw), 2.2L, dual-overhead-cam Ecotec four-cylinder engine. The LS and LT models of the Malibu and Malibu Maxx feature the new GM 3500 3.5L, overhead-valve V-6, with 200 horsepower (149 kw). All Malibus come with the smooth-shifting Hydra-Matic 4T45-E four-speed electronic automatic transmission. Combined with the broad torque curve of Malibu's four- and six-cylinder engines, the result is strong performance and best-in-class fuel economy. An independent front suspension with MacPherson struts and a four-link independent rear suspension underpin Malibu. All Malibu models are equipped with power brakes and electric power steering (EPS) with variable assist for low- and high-speed steering maneuvers. In addition to the vibration-reducing properties of the Epsilon architecture, Malibu has a host of noise-elimination features, including a cast foam-rubber barrier covering the dash panel; a modular noise-dampening plate in the dash panel; a fiberglass-composite hood insulator; and front and rear "glove-fit" carpet floor modules. High standards Every Malibu features a high level of standard equipment. A power driver's seat height adjuster, tilt/telescoping steering column, CD-equipped audio system, power windows, door locks and mirrors are standard on all Malibus. Power adjustable brake and accelerator pedals and manual lumbar support are standard on LS and LT models, and available on the base Malibu sedan. Many of these features are not standard, or even available, in other cars in the Malibu's class. Malibu is also the first car in its class to offer an optional factory-installed remote vehicle starter system, allowing the driver to get a head start on the car's interior heating and cooling from a range of about 200 feet (61 m). Genuine versatility Malibu can be a cargo carrier by day and a refined, comfortable people-hauler by night, or the other way around. Use of space is the key. In the sedan body style, Malibu is roomy, measuring out at 101 cubic feet (2,871L) of space for passengers. With a 60/40-split/folding rear seat and a fold-flat front passenger seat, a variety of items will fit fully inside Malibu, including long items such as ladders and snow skis. The rear seats in Malibu Maxx slide nearly 7 inches (17.8 cm) fore and aft and are split 60/40 not just in the seat back, but also the seat cushion, to further increase comfort. The rear seat backs recline, allowing different sized rear passengers to tailor their seating position in a similar way a front-seat passenger can. The Malibu Maxx has a generous 106 cubic feet (3,002L) of passenger space and a luxurious 41 inches (104 cm) of legroom with the seats pushed all the way back - legroom comparable to a full-size domestic luxury sedan. The Malibu Maxx also features a standard fixed-rear glass skylight that provides a spacious, open atmosphere over the rear seats. Both driver- and passenger-side rear occupants have the option of opening or closing a standard split/retractable shade to control the amount of light coming through the skylight. The Malibu Maxx's rear cargo area features a standard power outlet and a multi-functional cargo panel with four positions for two-tier loading. The cargo panel also can be positioned as a table for picnics or tailgate parties. Hooks on the cargo panel help secure smaller items, and cargo nets on each side of the cargo area, also unique to the Malibu Maxx, help keep items from sliding around. Comfort for rear-seat passengers for all Malibu models is enhanced with a heating/air conditioning system designed for their needs. In addition to airflow to the feet, two vents on the center of the dash - dubbed "turbo blasters" by the car's engineers - are designed to pour generous amounts of heated or cooled air directly into the back seat. Three levels of audio system offerings are available on the Malibu, including an uplevel radio with an in-dash, six-CD changer, six speakers (including two tweeters on the A-pillar), automatic volume and tone controls, and XM Satellite Radio compatibility (continental U.S. only). Malibu Maxx adds the option of a rear-seat audio system or a DVD-based rear-seat entertainment system, both complete with wireless headphones. Style Malibu features crisp, clean lines that highlight a space-efficient and aerodynamic exterior. Crystalline-like headlamp lenses and a chrome front bar and gold Chevy bowtie highlight these contemporary lines. Compared with its predecessor, the new Malibu has a slightly wider stance and a much more substantial front end. The exterior is a fresh direction that honors Chevrolet's heritage while allowing European influence in execution. The interior features a Chevrolet-signature dual cockpit design with luxury features and an overall sense of quality and attention to detail. Seating in the Malibu has the look and feel of an upscale European sedan with comfortable, firm foam padding to give occupants a solid, secure ride that matches the car's nimble performance. Safety and strength Engineers made extensive use of high-strength steel in strategic areas of the body and developed energy-absorbing front and rear crush zones to help obtain impressive structural performance for safety. OnStar is the leading provider of in-vehicle safety, security and information services in the United States and Canada. Using the GPS satellite network and wireless technology, OnStar features core safety services and OnStar Personal Calling that allows drivers to make and receive hands-free, voice-activated phone calls using a powerful three-watt analog system and external antenna for greater reception. The OnStar service available on the 2005 Malibu and Malibu Maxx also includes the Advanced Automatic Crash Notification (AACN) system, making crash data available to 911 centers to potentially dispatch the appropriate life-saving personnel and equipment to crash scenes faster. ACCN does not require air bag deployment. Other safety features in the Malibu include: - Dual-stage frontal air bags for the driver and front passenger - Three-point safety belts for all occupants - Head curtain side-impact air bag with front seat-mounted thorax side-impact air bag standard on LT, and available on all other models - Standard four-wheel anti-lock brakes with traction control on LS and LT models, available on base sedan - LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) child-seat attachment system in all rear seating positions 2005 Chevrolet Aveo | New for 2005 Model lineup: Special Value Model (SVM), LS, LT Redesigned spoiler standard on LT, optional on LS Alloy wheels standard on LT Bolt-on wheel covers with new design standard on SVM and LS Door pillar trim blacked out Exterior colors: Sport Red Metallic (four-door models only), Aqua 2005 CHEVROLET AVEO - JUST HOW MANY STUDENTS CAN FIT INSIDE? The EPA, the DOT and the MVMA (Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association) measure many dimensions and log countless specifications, but "crammed students" isn't one of them. The world must wait for some fraternity-led antics to determine the maximum number of people that fit in Chevrolet Aveo's spacious interior. Enlisting volunteers shouldn't be difficult because Aveo is a surprisingly roomy, refined entry-level car that delivers little extras that make a big difference. Aveo also is the only light car to receive the government's highest safety rating for frontal crash performance -- - five stars for both driver and front passenger. Model lineup The subcompact Aveo was introduced in the fall of 2003 as a 2004 model. The line includes a four-door sedan and a stylish five-door. Each seats five adults and is available in three trim levels: the Special Value Model, LS and LT. While Aveo's size makes it perfect for crowded city environments, its room and highway manners make it a great choice for road trips. For each model, power comes from a GM-designed E-TEC II 1.6L four-cylinder that develops 103 horsepower (97 kw). Standard features for all models include a tilt steering column, AM/FM stereo, six-way adjustable driver seat, rear-window defroster, remote fuel door and a practical 60/40 split-bench rear seat that folds for more cargo room. While some of these items are becoming "expected" features even for entry-level vehicles, Aveo adds extras that help it stand out, such as a storage pocket on the back of the front passenger seat and a lighted glove box. New for 2005 Because the Aveo debuted as a 2004 model, hardware changes for 2005 are incremental. In a move that makes the Aveo line more consistent with other Chevrolet brands, the model lineup was revised in the U.S. from Special Value Model/Base/LS to Special Value Model/LS/LT. New equipment also was added to the line, including bolt-on wheel covers with a new design and and a redesigned rear spoiler for the five-door. Quality design and manufacturing From the drawing boards of Giorgetto Giugiaro's renowned Italdesign studios in Turin, Italy, the five-door's striking design is an achievement in highly efficient packaging. Distinctive cues, such as the division's signature brand bar and gold bowtie, clearly mark the Aveo as true Chevrolet. Both body styles are manufactured at the world-class Bupyong, South Korea facility. Surprising room The Aveo carries five passengers comfortably and has the roomiest interior in the segment. Its high roof and theater-type raised seating offer good visibility for all. In addition to class-leading passenger room, Aveo offers clever storage features in the front console, a passenger seat back pocket, and accessory hooks at the top of each front headrest for suspending shopping bags. The rear seat of the four-door folds flat for more cargo room and allows pass-through from the trunk. The five-door offers the only rear seat in the segment that folds flat and flips forward, for a segment-leading 42 cubic feet (1,190L) of cargo area. The instrument panel includes a tachometer, speedometer, odometer, trip odometer, fuel gauge, coolant temperature gauge and lighting dimmer control. The IP also has a center storage tray, lighter, extra 12-volt outlet, digital quartz clock and lighted glove box. Materials and textures offer a distinctively non-entry-level feel. Expected amenities - and and then some On top of all that comes standard on the Aveo Special Value Model, the LS adds air conditioning with cabin-air filtration and floor mats, plus available options such as an automatic transmission and a CD player with MP3 playback capability. The LT model adds the following standard equipment: AM/FM stereo with CD player and MP3 playback capability, power door locks, power windows, remote keyless entry, body-colored outside heated rearview mirrors (passenger side power), premium seat fabric and 14-inch alloy wheels. Special options for the LT include a premium six-speaker audio system, power sunroof and a high-security engine immobilizer. Powerful, efficient, nimble Aveo hits the road with a refined, responsive powertrain and chassis that will help redefine the perception of entry-level cars. This Chevrolet features the proven E-TEC II 1.6L dual overhead cam, 16-valve inline four-cylinder engine. It delivers 103 horsepower (77 kw) and 107 lb.-ft. of torque (145 Nm) - one of the highest ratings in the subcompact class. The engine's deep-skirted block provides a strong base for long-term durability, while a single accessory drive belt and a durable rubber timing belt help reduce the need for routine maintenance. The E-TEC II's variable-geometry intake system uses a longer runner length to deliver optimum airflow at low throttle settings. This increases torque by approximately 10 percent at lower rpm. Once engine rpm reaches 4600 and above, a valve within the intake system opens to shorten the air intake path, so that there is no sacrifice of high-rpm performance when the engine requires higher airflow. Fuel economy is estimated at 27 mpg in city driving, 35 mpg on the highway with the manual transmission, and 26 mpg city/34 mpg highway with the automatic. A lightweight, smooth shifting, high-efficiency five-speed manual transmission is standard. A four-speed automatic is optional. The automatic features a "hold control" button. Selecting "hold control" turns the four-speed automatic into a three-speed manual, with the driver changing gears by moving through the gated shifter. The "hold control" mode also enables the driver to better control wheel spin at low speeds on slippery surfaces by manually selecting a higher gear. Aveo's 97.6-inch wheelbase (2480 mm) is among the longest in the class, and it contributes to the car's smooth ride and stability. Its suspension was extensively tested and tuned by North American engineers. Aveo is equipped with rack-and-pinion steering that acts on a fully independent MacPherson front suspension. The rear suspension is a semi-independent torsion beam. Tight and quiet A high-quality driving experience comes from a strong vehicle body that is well insulated. Aveo's unibody uses high-strength steel in more than 46 percent of its structural components. Build quality is clear in the fit of the exterior body panels, which have consistently trim 3-mm gaps - a benchmark normally associated with more expensive vehicles. Extensive sound insulation helps minimize wind, road and engine noise. Even the exhaust system is tuned to reduce noise, with the front muffler targeting high-frequency noises and the rear muffler abating lower frequencies. To ensure survival in the tough, varied climates of North America, Aveo is built to meet heavy-duty anti-corrosion specifications. Liberal use of fully galvanized steel in body panels and highly corrosion-resistant metals for fasteners and brackets will help Aveos retain their quality appearance for years to come. Safety on the road The Aveo's unibody forms a protective safety cage around the passenger compartment. The front structure is designed to distribute crash energy along multiple load paths, helping to direct energy away from the passenger compartment. Aveo's standard dual diagonal brake system includes large ventilated front discs and self-adjusting rear drum brakes. Rear brakes have a wide lining for increased service life. A four-channel, four-sensor ABS system with electronic brake force distribution (EBD) is available as an option. Single-stage frontal air bags, safety belt pretensioners and height-adjustable shoulder belt anchors for the front seats are all standard. The rear seat features shoulder belts in all three seating positions. The standardized child safety seat system, Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren (LATCH), provides two lower anchors and a top tether anchor to be used to secure a child seat to the vehicle seat structure. These anchorages are designed to make it easier to properly install compatible child safety seats. Other standard child-safety features include rear child security door locks and an emergency trunk latch release handle inside the trunk of the sedan. 2005 TRAILBLAZER, TRAILBLAZER EXT | New for 2005 Available Gen IV Vortec 5300 V-8 with Displacement on Demand technology (EXT only) OnStar driver safety and security system features Gen 6 hardware with analog/digital coverage and upgraded hands-free capabilities Occupant protection upgrades: - Occupant sensing system for front passenger - Revised front safety belt reminder system - LATCH child seat anchorage system Revised exterior badging (depending on model) MP3 radio feature available on LS Navigation radio touch-screen upgrades Interior feature upgrades: - New seat design for added comfort, craftsmanship - Additional interior chrome accents on LS, LT - New steering wheel badging New exterior colors: Superior Blue Metallic, Emerald Jewel Metallic, Graystone Metallic New interior colors and combinations: Ebony, Ebony/Light Cashmere, Light and Dark Gray 2005 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER: EVEN MORE EFFICIENCY AND VERSATILITY Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT have quickly established themselves as among the most popular midsize SUVs on the market, combining Chevy Truck toughness with style and versatility. For 2005, these dependable trucks offer even higher levels of passenger comfort and efficiency, including a new Vortec 5300 V-8 engine equipped with GM's innovative Displacement on Demand (DOD) technology, available on TrailBlazer EXT. GM's Displacement on Demand technology enables fuel economy gains of up to 8 percent in certain light-load driving conditions by reducing the number of cylinders engaged in the combustion process. A sophisticated, next-generation engine controller determines when to deactivate cylinders, allowing the engine to maintain vehicle speed in lighter-load conditions such as highway cruising. When the cylinders are deactivated, the engine effectively operates as a V-4, with every other cylinder in the firing order disabled. The engine returns to V-8 mode the instant the controller determines the vehicle speed or load requires additional power. The process is seamless and virtually imperceptible Rated at an 300 horsepower (224 kw) and 330 lb.-ft. of torque (447 Nm), the Gen IV Vortec 5300 5.3L all-aluminum V-8 supports TrailBlazer EXT's superior towing capacities of up to 7,000 pounds (3,175 kg) when properly equipped. All 5.3L V-8s are equipped with DOD. Standard on all TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT models, whether two- or four-wheel drive or in LS or uplevel LT trim, is GM's advanced Vortec 4200 4.2L inline six-cylinder engine. Rated at 275 horsepower (205 kw) and 275 lb.-ft. of torque (373 Nm), this durable powerplant provides the smooth performance and capability of many V-8 engines, along with the fuel economy of a six-cylinder. Both engines are complemented by the rugged Hydra-Matic 4L60-E electronically controlled four-speed transmission. Safety, security and OnStar TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT receive a comprehensive array of new standard and available occupant safety features for 2005. The TrailBlazer has GM's Passenger Sensing System (PSS). PSS uses the latest sensing technology to turn the front passenger air bag on or off. If the sensor system detects an unoccupied front passenger seat or the presence of a smaller occupant, the front passenger air bag is designed to automatically turn off so it would not deploy in the event of a frontal collision. A status indicator on the instrument panel alerts occupants that the passenger air bag is on or off. Even with this system, GM strongly recommends to restrain child passengers in an appropriate child seat placed in the second or third row of the vehicle. Never install a rear-facing infant seat in front of an active air bag. GM also recommends that all children 12 and under ride in the rear seat when possible. TrailBlazers also have standard pretensioners in the outboard front safety belt system that deploy at the same time as the frontal air bags to take up slack in the safety belt webbing. Pretensioners also help reduce the amount of occupant movement in the event of a crash to help reduce the risk of injury. TrailBlazers are equipped with LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) system anchors for child safety seats in all second-row seats. The LATCH system provides two lower anchors and a top tether anchor to be used to secure a child seat to the vehicle seat structure. These anchorages are designed to make it easier to properly install compatible child safety seats. An enhanced front passenger safety belt reminder system also is standard. The OnStar safety and security system with a one-year subscription to its Safe & Sound plan is standard on the TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT. TrailBlazers feature OnStar's new sixth-generation hardware with digital and analog coverage. The Gen 6 hardware also includes upgraded hands-free voice recognition capabilities including more intuitive continuous digit dialing and improved voice recognition accuracy. OnStar is the leading provider of in-vehicle safety, security and information services in the United States and Canada. Using the GPS satellite network and wireless technology, OnStar features core safety services and OnStar Personal Calling that allows drivers to make and receive hands-free, voice-activated phone calls using a powerful three-watt digital/analog system and external antenna for greater reception. The OnStar service on the 2005 TrailBlazer includes the new General Motors Advanced Automatic Crash Notification (AACN) system, making crash data available to 911 centers to potentially dispatch the appropriate life-saving personnel and equipment to crash scenes faster. Revised interior appointments Appearance changes for 2005 include revised badging on the exterior and steering wheel; a new seat design for improved comfort and craftsmanship; new door panel, floor mat and console trim designs for LT models; and additional chrome interior accents throughout on both LS and LT versions. Other changes include the availability of an MP3 player as part of an optional stereo package for LS models and improved touch-screen functions for the available navigation radio system. New exterior colors include Superior Blue Metallic, Emerald Jewel Metallic and Graystone Metallic. Interior color choices now include Ebony, an Ebony/Light Cashmere two-tone combination and a Light/Dark Gray combination. Tough but refined TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT are designed to deliver an optimum blend of refined ride and handling, generous passenger and cargo room, and long-lasting dependability. With its spacious third-row seat, TrailBlazer EXT can carry up to seven passengers, along with more than 23 cubic feet (663L) of stowage behind the third seat. The second and third rows can be folded flat, opening up 107 cubic feet (3,030L) of cargo space. TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT use hydroformed steel frame side rails, which form a strong foundation for the trucks' overall strength and solid feel, even on unpaved surfaces. A five-link rear suspension and independent, double-A-arms up front work with a system of 12 specially tuned body mounts using hydraulics and rubber pads to dramatically reduce vibration and harshness on any kind of road or trail. Four-wheel ventilated anti-lock disc brakes are standard. An Autotrac four-wheel-drive system is standard on 4WD models, while traction control is available as an option for 2WD models. Available options on TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT include adjustable brake and accelerator pedals, sun visors with lighted vanity mirrors, inside rearview mirror with temperature gauge and compass, RainSense wipers, leather seating surfaces with eight-way-power driver and passenger seats, sunroof, and both factory- and dealer-installed running boards. Available entertainment and information features include XM Satellite Radio and Navigation Radio. XM (continental U.S. only) provides more than 120 coast-to-coast, digital-quality channels of original commercial-free music and premier news, sports and talk as well as advanced traffic and weather information for select major metropolitan areas nationwide. Consumers can subscribe to the basic service for $9.99 a month. In addition, GM customers with GMAC financing can choose to include the XM subscription in their car payments. Navigation Radio incorporates a dash-mounted GPS system and display with the vehicle's sound system. 2005 CHEVROLET IMPALA | New for 2005 OnStar is now standard - new Gen 6 hardware with upgraded hands-free capability Impala SS side and grille badging is body-color with gold Chevrolet bowtie emblem Impala SS front bucket seats feature halo-design headrests Gold Chevrolet bowtie emblems appear on all models 17-inch chrome finish diamond-cut cast aluminum wheels now available on SS Sport Appearance Package now available on Impala sedan Exterior colors: Laser Blue Metallic, Sport Red Metallic and Silverstone Metallic 2005 IMPALA - A CAR BUYERS WANT FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS It's long been a mainstay in the North American automotive market, and the contemporary 2005 Impala enters the new model year giving drivers just what they want - as well as what they need. Impala is General Motors' best-selling car in the U.S., and ranks fifth among national sales leaders. For the 2005 model year, Chevrolet carries forth the model line unchanged. All Impala models feature front-wheel drive, a Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission, fully independent suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, and four-wheel disc brakes. New for 2005 OnStar's unique combination of in-car hardware, cellular interlinks, integrated global positioning, and 24/7/365 service from live people has set the standard for the industry. OnStar-equipped Impalas feature new sixth-generation hardware with digital and analog coverage. OnStar's Gen 6 hardware also includes upgraded hands-free voice recognition capabilities including more intuitive continuous digit dialing and improved voice recognition accuracy. OnStar is the leading provider of in-vehicle safety, security and information services in the United States and Canada. Using the GPS satellite network and wireless technology, OnStar features core safety services and OnStar Personal Calling that allows drivers to make and receive hands-free, voice-activated phone calls using a powerful three-watt digital/analog system and external antenna for greater reception. The whip-style OnStar antenna has been superseded by a new roof-top design. When XM Satellite Radio is ordered, its antenna is integrated into the OnStar unit, helping keep Impala's design clean and clutter-free. Beyond this, Impala benefits from some year-to-year detail changes such as new exterior paint colors - Laser Blue Metallic, Sport Red Metallic and Silverstone Metallic - and the availability of chrome-finish 17-inch diamond-cut cast aluminum wheels on the Impala SS. The body-color side moldings that are standard or available on all Impala models are now made from a specially developed nanocomposite. This material creates a part that weighs 7 percent less than the part it replaced, plus it has a higher quality finish and is 100percent recyclable. Impala power and performance Impala uses three torque-happy V-6 engines. Each model has its own powertrain in keeping with the power demands of that model's expected customer base. The base Impala sedan's 3400 V-6 produces 180 horsepower (134 kw). It has a cast iron block, aluminum heads and two valves per cylinder. This combination is ideal for torque production (205 lb.-ft./ 278 Nm), durability and economical operation. The LS's Hydra-Matic 4T65-E four-speed automatic transmission features a tall 2.86:1 final drive ratio - a significant contributor to the powertrain's efficiency. Stepping up to the Impala LS brings along a significant power boost, to 200 horsepower (149 kw). The power comes from the refined 3800 Series II V-6 engine, an award-winning design that delivers power, smoothness and quietness. A full 90 percent of the engine's peak 225 lb.-ft. of torque (305 Nm) is available at only 1000 rpm, just off idle. Years of detail work have earned this OHV engine many national and international awards, as well as a solid reputation within the engineering community. The Impala SS gets its motivation from the 3800 Series II Supercharged V-6. This award-winning engine delivers great acceleration thanks to a broad torque curve that is consistently high over the engine's operating range. The 3.8L supercharged (SC) engine generates 240 horsepower (179 kw) at 5200 rpm, and an impressive 280 lb.-ft. (380 Nm) of torque at 3600 rpm. Boost levels of up to 8 pounds per square inch are indicated on the instrument panel boost gauge. The 3800 SC features a compact, Roots-type supercharger that displaces 90 cubic inches. On demand, it supplies the engine with a compressed intake charge. Performance of this proven engine has been increased over the years by refining multiple individual components and the controlling software in the powertrain control module. As a result, the engine delivers power in a smooth, linear fashion by adding boost at predetermined points along the power curve. The 3800 SC has a strong durability record. To handle the extra torque, the vehicle uses a heavy-duty version of the Hydra-Matic 4T65-E four-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission with final drive ratio of 2.93:1. Chassis, suspension The Impala has a solid foundation for superb ride and handling. A unique extruded aluminum engine cradle saves weight and helps isolate engine noise and vibration, and the overall tautness of the Impala's body structure allows chassis components to be finely tuned to enhance performance. Impala also features four-wheel independent suspension with MacPherson struts at all four corners, power rack-and-pinion steering, and large-diameter four-wheel disc power-assisted braking. ABS and traction control are standard on LS and SS models. The Impala SS delivers chassis and suspension enhancements for sportier ride and handling. Spring rates for its FE4 suspension are stiffened in both front and rear. It also gets 34-mm front and 19.5-mm rear stabilizer bars (compared to 30 mm/14 mm in Impala and Impala LS), along with refinements to the rear trailing link and rear strut mounts. The total package reduces body roll in cornering and improves the driver's feel of road conditions. The whole package rides on Goodyear P235/55R17 W-rated tires mounted on 17-inch diamond-cut cast aluminum wheels. Roominess, comfort and style The 2005 Impala offers large-car capability with midsize exterior proportions and agility. The base model has room for six passengers and 18.6 cubic feet (527L) of trunk space. The Impala sedan comes well equipped with an air filtration system, lighting in the trunk, electric rear window defogger, delayed exit/entry lighting, and intermittent variable-speed windshield wipers. Impala LS expands the list to include passenger assist grips, a trunk cargo net, split-folding rear seat and cruise control. Impala SS tops the line by adding a 200-peak-watt AM/FM/CD sound system, front bucket seats with leather seating surfaces, power driver's seat, and carpeted floor mats embroidered with the "SS" logo. Impala SS builds on the contemporary style of the Impala and Impala LS with a number of styling cues that match the performance of its supercharged powertrain. These help set the SS apart from its siblings and establish a link with other Chevy SS models. Available in two new colors plus black, Impala SS wears a monochromatic theme, including color-keyed bodyside moldings and grille, "SS" badging, unique decklid spoiler, dual bright stainless-steel exhaust tips, and lowered front fascia with integrated fog lamps. Safety and security The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration rates Impala as five-star/five-star - the highest rating possible - for front-impact testing. Both front seating positions received five stars, and both front and rear passengers benefit from four-star protection during side-impacts. Impala's resistance to rollovers also received five stars. More than 100 standard safety and security features make Impala a worry-free car to drive. Standard features on Impala LS include remote keyless entry, traction control, tire inflation monitoring system, anti-lock brakes and available driver's side-impact air bag; all are optional on the base Impala sedan. Standard features on all models include a passive theft-deterrent system, battery rundown protection and daytime running lamps. In addition, a "limp-home" mode allows the car to be driven to a nearby service station even after a complete loss of coolant.
