“Performance and reliability. On a jobsite, there’s nothing more important.”
Clint Long manages utility construction for a Dallas company that builds everything from highways to residential infrastructure.
Traveling to jobsites all around the Metroplex, Long’s 2008 Silverado HD LTZ manhandles both the freeways and the rugged terrain of construction zones. The Allison® transmission and Duramax® Diesel 6.6L V8 Turbo engine provide the muscle. The Z71 off-road package stabilizes the ride over debris and ditches.
It’s small surprise then that every company truck at Lacy Construction, including its customized service vehicles, is a Chevy. Long, a tall Texan who spends much of his busy days in his Silverado HD, adds, “It also helps that it’s a big truck—I need a lot of room.”
With the performance, power, and comfort of the Chevy Silverado HD, he’s found that and more.
From the family of Chevy Trucks—the most dependable, longest- lasting trucks on the road.*
