2023 GMC Canyon Coming with New AT4X Model

GMC has just set a new bar for off-roading trucks. This summer, they revealed the 2023 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4X AEV Edition, which takes the Sierra 1500 AT4X — already an off-roading powerhouse — to the next level. The AEV Edition improves on the base AT4X with a dizzying array of specialized equipment. These include 3-millimeter heavy-duty steel front and rear bumpers, complete with powder coating and winch capability, five ultra high-strength hot-stamped boron steel skid plates, Multimatic™ DSSV dampers, and more. Thanks to all of its upgrades, it boasts measurably better off-road abilities, such as a 27% improvement on the AT4X’s front approach angle. All of this is powered by a mighty 6.2-liter V8 engine that comes standard, and lets you trailer up to 8,700 pounds. And inside the cabin, you’ll find an upscale interior with full-grain leather seats, authentic wood trim, and a Bose® premium audio system with 12 speakers. You’ll also enjoy virtual miles of screens to keep you up to date on your entertainment and driving information — all totaled, the Sierra 1500 AT4X AEV Edition boasts over 40 inches of them. With all this and more, the Sierra 1500 AT4X AEV Edition will be the best off-roading factory Sierra 1500 in history. Keep an eye out for more updates, and come see it for yourself here at Junction Buick GMC when it starts hitting lots next year.

You’ve got your road trip stops all planned out, your bags are packed, and you’re ready to go — but what will you eat on the way? Eating out can add up fast, especially with a family, and the easiest options on the road tend not to be particularly healthy. Luckily, there are myriad healthy snacks that are perfectly suited for road trips. For a bit of protein, bring along some jerky or a bag of nuts. Edamame, or soy beans, makes a great easy snack, too, and you can buy it dried for easier packing. If you add a small cooler to your packing list, things like cheese cubes or hummus and veggies are also great options. Even if your taste leans towards the sweeter things, there are many foods you can bring with you that will help fill out your nutritional needs. Trail mix is easy to find and very customizable, whether it comes with raisins or chocolates. Or you can bring some dried fruit, which also offers a great variety of choices. For salty options, bring a bag of popcorn or some pretzels. Crackers are a good idea, especially to go along with the cheese cubes — you can have your own travel charcuterie board! Whichever you choose, have a safe trip, and enjoy your snacks. If your car needs a tune-up, bring it to Junction Buick GMC in Chardon, Ohio, so we can help you on your way.

Here in Ohio, we have to prepare for just about anything — especially when it comes to the weather. While you might think an emergency kit is only ideal for winter, think again. Here are some essential items to keep in your summer emergency kit. Jumper cables Car batteries don’t just stop working in the cold of winter. Extremely hot temperatures, like in summer, can cause harm to your vehicle’s battery as well. Be sure to pack jumper cables in the event that your car doesn’t start on your summer road trips. Pencil and paper If you do end up in an accident, you’ll need to collect insurance information from any other drivers that are involved. While your cell phone might be a good way to get these details, you shouldn’t rely on it in case you lose it during the accident or if it loses power. Store a pencil and some paper in the glove box or center console for easy access. Flashlight You never know where your summer adventures will take you, and that might mean being out past sunset. In an emergency, having a bright flashlight will definitely come in handy. If your vehicle needs any maintenance or repairs, feel free to contact our team at Junction Buick GMC in Chardon, Ohio.
