All New 2017 Honda Ridgeline

The All new 2017 Honda Ridgeline now comes in 5 different trims: LX, Sport, EX-L, Touring, and Black Edition. Just like many of Honda’s new releases this year, visually the Ridgeline looks similar to its 2016 model. However the Ridgeline comes equipped with a V6 3.5L 280 HP engine. You might think that this new Ridgeline is more of a car in a truck body; shorter bed length, fast top speed, and aerodynamic design. However, the Ridgeline stacks up quite well against its competitors in the more “heavy duty” categories as well. With a 64 inch bed length and the 262lb’s of torque the 2017 Ridgeline creates the balance between a comfortable car, and a heavy duty pick up.

If you are interested in smaller pick up, but still want those heavy duty capabilities for when in need, the Ridgeline is the perfect truck. To top it all off the 2017 Ridgeline is equipped with top of the line technology features including:

  • 8 Display Audio system
  • Apple Car Play & Android Auto
  • Navigation system
  • Honda Link
  • 7” TFT centre meter display
  • Honda Lane Watch blind spot system

The Ridgeline really does it all, so make sure you keep it at the top of your mind when in the market for a perfect hybrid between a truck and a car.

Best Truck in Canada – 2014 GMC Sierra AJAC Winner

We’ve been bragging about this truck from the beginning, but now we can officially say the 2014 GMC Sierra is the “Best New Pickup” in Canada, voted by the Automobile Journalist Association of Canada (AJAC). The all-new Sierra is the most powerful and technologically advanced truck in GM’s 111-year history.2014 gmc sierra

Last October in Niagara Falls, 147 vehicles were tested and evaluated by 80 journalists who voted on the vehicles, combined with objective data.  Each journalist drove each categories’ vehicles back-to-back in the same day, under same conditions on closed roads to ensure fairness.

Rob Assimakopoulos, General Director of Marketing and Communications for GMC in Canada, said the following about the distinction, “With the importance of the pickup truck segment in Canada, we thank AJAC and its membership for this significant award recognizing the GMC Sierra as the best new pickup in the country.  The Sierra is the definition of GMC’s Professional Grade mantra, featuring the most advanced engines in a pickup with a unique combination of technologies delivering legendary GMC capability.”

We know how great the Sierra is and we encourage you to visit us at Queenston on the Mountain and experience its power and comfort for yourself.  Right now, until December 9th, take advantage of our 0% On Everything Event and drive home your new Sierra today!

2013 Silverado 3500 HD Named Canadian Truck King!

Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD named Canadian Truck King for 2013

The Canadian Truck King challenge takes place each year. It is a head-to-head competition among six pickup truck manufacturers that involves driving the trucks back to back over a two day period. A group of automotive journalists tested the trucks under certain criteria to evaluate the trucks’ performance, inside and out. Trucks were tested on and off road, they were loaded and unloaded, they towed trailers, and they were tested on evaluations of ride and handling, among other tests.

After 2,600 km of testing, the 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD was crowned Canadian Truck King for 2013. It beat the Ford 350 and Ram 3500 to take first place.  “The heavy-duty truck segment is one of the most competitive in Canada and it’s an honour to have the Silverado HD officially crowned the Canadian Truck King for 2013,” said Sharon Sikorski, GM Canada marketing manager for trucks.

The 2013 Silverado 3500 HD is powered by the Duramax 6.6L turbo-diesel engine, and a 1000 six speed automatic transmission powertrain combination. This powers the truck with 397 horsepower at 3,000 rpm, and 765 lb.-ft. of torque at 1,600 rpm.  It also features a high pressure fuel system for greater fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, and the list goes on. What can be said is that this truly is a powerful truck.
