Chevy Truck Month in Woodstock, IL

There’s plenty of reasons to adventure outside of Crystal Lake, Illinois, on a road trip this summer. You could visit the Indiana Dunes along the Lake Michigan coastline, which offers expansive, sandy beaches and bike trails that the whole family can enjoy. Or the Starved Rock State Park in Oglesby, Illinois, which boasts 13 trails that weave through beautiful waterfalls and impressive sandstone canyons. And don’t forget about the Midwest Mozart Festival taking place in August in Woodstock, Illinois, which can give your family a taste of culture and history. No matter where you travel to, there’s one thing you can’t do without: a safe, reliable vehicle. The all-new 2018 Chevy Equinox offers the features and capabilities of an ideal road trip companion. Let’s explore how you can take advantage of this compact SUV’s versatility on your next journey. Top 5 Ways To Utilize The Chevy Equinox’s Road-Trip Friendly Features 1. Select the 1.5L Turbo-Diesel Engine With long road trips, it’s important to have a car that can go the distance. This engine, which will become available for the Chevy Equinox in late summer 2017, offers a GM-estimated 40 mpg on the highway. No more frequent gas station stops for your family this year. 2. Don’t Be Afraid to Pack In All The Luggage The arguments over how much luggage people can bring are over thanks to the Equinox’s 63.5 cu. ft. of maximum cargo volume. And select the optional roof rack cross rails for even more room. 3. Rest and Let Your Teen Take the Wheel There’s no way around it: driving for hours on end is exhausting. To stay alert, you should take breaks and allow someone else to get behind the wheel. The perfect candidate? Your teenager. Use the teen driver feature to activate vehicle settings that encourage safe driving behavior so that you can rest easy. 4.
