We Could Not Be Prouder!
It was just announced yesterday that Gail Faulkner was named to the 100 Leading Women in the North American Auto Industry List.
As employees of Faulkner Auto Group, we are honored that our fearless leader until recently, Gail, was awarded such an honor throughout a competitive market. Gail has been with the auto industry since 1975, when she married Hank Faulkner, who owned a few stores. After Hank’s passing in 2003, it was Gail to stepped up to the reins and continued to lead to her retirement last year.
Faulkner Auto Group is now in the hands of her son, Harry, who takes the teachings of Gail to heart.
As a part of Faulkner Auto Group, we cannot congratulate Gail enough except with a Thank You and this is definitely deserved!

Where There Is A Size,there Is A Fit…
One thing that comes to mind when I think about the Chevrolet SUV lineup is: versatility. Chevrolet literally has thought of every option when developing their SUV lineup. There’s a size for everyone – with enough features and capabilities that will be the favorite car owned by anyone and adaptability! Literally grow your family with Chevrolet – we can handle it!
Starting off with the Chevrolet Trax as this is my car – I absolutely love this vehicle! It is the perfect size for me – and all of my tennis gear! Available in Front-Wheel and All-Wheel drive in 2020, it has en engine perfect for get up & go – but also great on fuel mileage. Two rows with folding rear seats and a fold-front passenger seat, you can fit something up to eight feet inside this SUV.
Jumping to Chevrolet’s newest SUV Resident: the Trailblazer! This is a redesign of the old model – as most will realize that the Traverse is the new three-row Trailblazer. This vehicle is close to what the Trax has to offer, but not at all at the same time. It has a sleek and upgraded interior and behind the second row of seats grants more cargo space. In the Trax there is 18.70 cubic feet versus 25.30 cubic feet in the Trailblazer. This is going to be someone’s go-to who needs to make a statement in a smaller, yet powerful fashion.
The resident Chevrolet Equinox is a staple to the current Chevrolet brand and SUV lineup. Known for its driver comforts and also awesome gas mileage, this SUV is capable of towing up to 3,500 pounds (on select models) and has an infotainment system that while your passengers will fight to control, you literally will control from the wheel.
The Blazer is one of those models that literally leave you speechless. This is where the engine is bumped up to a 3.6L V6 engine – it has the power and turnability to make driving so much fun! You will see in a previous post about our visit to Shady Maple – this trip was in a Blazer and was so much fun! You’ll have the two spacious rows but what is different? Like the Equinox, but with more storage behind the second row.
The Traverse is where we start getting into the meat of the SUV lineup. This is our first SUV with three rows. The second row, like all of our three row vehicles, you can have a bench seating for a 2-3-3 configuration or captain’s chairs/bucket seats for a 2-2-3 configuration. Looking for a Front-Wheel three-row SUV? The Traverse is your option! With great gas mileage and safety – the Traverse will be the family car that you gladly want to drive everywhere!
The exciting thing about both the 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban is that there is a complete redesign. These models are sleek, strong, and have the capabilities of a truck but in a safe and secure SUV format.
One thing to mention about all of the SUVs offered from Chevrolet is that their Rear Seat Reminder when you open up the rear doors. This is such a pivotal feature with Chevrolet that if you are distracted when getting out of your Chevrolet, this is not forgotten and precious cargo is left inside the vehicle. We would love to go over our lineup and explore the many options with you!
Contact us today and we will gladly answer your questions and set up your test drive to help determine which Chevrolet SUV is the best for you and your family!

From Here To Colorado…
Sometimes a full-sized truck just doesn’t make sense. You want it to make work and fit in your garage– but it just is a hindrance. You still need a truck that will works like a truck, just a mid-size that will make any challenge a breeze. Also driveability is key, as your kids may be driving or your significant other may drive your truck every now and then. What are you looking at?
Colorado.
We had our teammate, Josh, dive more into the Colorado – a truck he has owned in the past and absolutely loved but needed a bigger truck for towing purposes. Still pictures himself driving his Colorado – which is now in the loving hands of a repeat customer who absolutely loves his new-to-him truck!
The maneuverability is impeccable. It can easily adapt to its surroundings for any driver. Whether you are an experienced driver or not, it is a truck that you can drive and know your surroundings and with all of the safety packages as options, won’t ever second-guess yourself in a new Colorado.
You are looking for a truck that is able to tow, but it needs to be comfortable for your passengers and you love the Colorado but not sure what options to consider. Josh indicates these factors to consider:
- Towing with the Crew Cab, Long Bed is very capable of towing on a mid-size truck.
- With a capacity max towing of 7,700 pounds and with an available max payload of 1,578, you’ll be towing without skipping a beat.
- Roominess of the Crew Cab model.
- You pulled the short end of the stick and you and your three friends are heading to Hersheypark for the day? No problem. You will all fit comfortably in the Crew Cab, with ample leg room and comfort, you might be chosen to drive everywhere!
- Convenience is important, too.
- The Infotainment 3 System has been updated and capable wireless charging and USB ports – no need to worry about any electronics losing charge. Also 4G LTE Wi-Fi Hotspot availability, streaming, sharing, and posting can happen all throughout the trip.
Thinking you might want more power and get up & go? Consider one of the three engine options: 2.5L 4-Cylinder; 3.6L DOHV V6; or the 2.8L Turbo-Diesel. All with towing capacities; all with a city MPG of 18+ with 25+ MPH Highway; and 200+ horsepower.
Looking for off-road capabilities? Do not look any further than the ZR2
With a capability of the Z71 model, and then some. A rugged appearance and the specific off-road suspension, increased ground clearance (lifted truck lovers? This is your choice!) and Mutlimatic DSSV Damping System are all standard. There are several accessories available to truly customize the ZR2 to how you want it.
Thinking about upgrading? Chevrolet.com has an awesome comparison guide. We have a great selection of Colorado models in stock and would love to schedule your test drive and showing today.
#IDRIVEFOR Everyone Affected By Cancer…
Almost everyone has been affected in one way or another by cancer in the United States. It is why we fight each and every day to fight this disease, which when it does strike, will strike from all sides.
Did you know that according to American Cancer Society that there are 1.7 million cancer diagnoses in 2019 with breast cancer being the highest factor in women? In 2019 it is estimated that 268,600 or 30% of all cancer cases in women would be breast cancer. Sadly, out of those 268.600 ladies, it is estimated that 66,020 will succumb to the disease.
Chevrolet is joining Making Strides Against Breast Cancer in donating $5 for every time #IDriveFor is posted on Twitter and Instagram during the month of October and up to $220,000 donation.
Join Faulkner Chevrolet during this whole month to make a change and help the American Cancer Society continue to fund over 160 grants totaling to more than $69 million dollars for breast cancer research. Be sure to stop into our dealership and pick up your Making Strides Against Breast Cancer pin while supplies last!
It’s Love At First Glance…
When someone says Chevrolet, most times, one of the first models that is thought of is the Chevrolet Corvette. With its rich history and sleek and sophisticated appearance, it’s no reason why this is probably your dream car. Rich Neelan in our dealership feels the same way.
When you visit us next and need someone to discuss Chevrolet performance, seek him out, he can fill you in on the history and the trends and what makes the Corvette different than others sports cars out there today.
With 2020 brought the much anticipated C8 mid-engine redesign. So much so that the orders sold out in just over a week (but we are accepting reservations for 2021 model! Contact us here!) Drivers will first notice the dual clutch 8-speed transmission. Power, functionality and control the instant your foot hits the gas – something that is unprecedented and definitely does not feel hesitation.
The mid-engine lives right behind the seats – you will feel and absolutely love the Corvette with every moment; every turn; and every acceleration. It is better felt than explained.
The Z51 Performance Package reads the road before you react. It allows the Corvette to read the road ever 10-15 millisecond to allow you to push the vehicle more into the ground while remaining fully in control.
Adding a hugely personalized system with the Mode Selector. This is a two-mode system that allows the driver to personalize many options in how the vehicle responds and reacts. Included in this system are: throttle response, exhaust, steering, suspension, transmission shifting, braking, traction, gauge cluster, fuel consumption, cylinder firing, and cooling systems. This option presents a literal customization of your new Chevrolet Corvette.
Safety and efficiency is a key concept of the Corvette. The Brembo Brakes add an extra level of safety and stability while four colors can finish the customization of your new Chevrolet Corvette.
Reservations are being taken now for the 2021 model year Corvette. Interested or have additional questions? Contact us here and we will be in contact with you!
A Gem In Lancaster City
From walking in the front door, you know that you are in for something you have never seen. A literal tiny town, with shops, accessories, and safety is what makes Tiny Town such an awesome experience for children and parents.
Located at 533 Janet Avenue in the outskirts of downtown Lancaster, Tiny Town is truly a gem. You will see the staff eagerly interacting with all of the guests – both big and small – and all are welcome. Hannah Harris and her husband are the owners and you will constantly see Hannah running many activities – such as group story time, socially distanced of course, and checking in guests or chasing the staffs’ children around while they also play!
Like many other small businesses in Lancaster during COVID, Hannah indicated, “Being closed for 4 months was a very difficult situation for us; then upon opening, we thought we’d get back into our routine. Unfortunately, that has not happened, BUT, we have had such amazing support from our customer base, the City of Lancaster, Recovery Lancaster, many friends who donated to help support us – with all that we have HOPE!
We are open for play, so families can continue to enjoy playing here even during a pandemic. We have taken all of the CDC requirements and implemented them – limiting our capacity as well as requiring hand-washing upon entering and masks to be worn. We also are still hosting birthday parties! Families can even book the entire building for a private birthday party with close friends and family. We are also opening Education Station for children who are learning virtually in the Fall. Families can drop off children for our camp where they can work on their virtual learning with a tutor here at TT. And lastly, we have our Melissa and Doug Toy Shop with hundreds of pretend play items for you to shop from – perfect for the kids.
If you have not visited yet – and you really should check it out ASAP – Hannah describes Tiny Town as, “an indoor playplace made up of 11 luxury playhouses. A truly hands-on, interactive, play-based center; kids can explore 11 luxury playhouses with all the accessories.”
Accessories are available for every playhouse – Grandma’s House has a piano and rocking chair on the side porch; Lindy Lou’s Library has many squishy pillows and a window seat with piles and piles of books – plus an upstairs for an escape to read a great book. Hannah says that the Café is her favorite playhouse because it is full of play food and menus where the kids can pretend to serve and be served. Everything on the menu is available for the children to play with! The attention to detail at every luxury playhouse absolutely blew us away!!
There was just so much joy at every place you turn. Hannah shared a few of the projects they are working on to help grow & expand Tiny Town – by working on a super big project that will send a town out in to the community, visiting schools, homes for birthday parties, and more! We cannot wait to announce this on their behalf!

Stepping through the gates of Dutch Wonderland for the first time in several years reminded us just how memorable our summers were as children and how we can make our children’s summer fantastic now.
Bright colors and over thirty-five attractions and rides – including their newest and our favorite ride, Merlin’s Mayhem – fun awaits the entire family. Magic and royalty are on every building, every corner, and into every design aspect of the Kingdom with safety of all guests continues to be of the utmost importance.
The park opened in 1963, but continues to transform with every season – this season is unlike any other. As you approach the gates, you will have your temperature taken and masks are required for every guest based on COVID-19 mandates. Once you are inside Duke’s Lagoon (the water park) the mask is not required. Sanitizing stations are placed at every ride entrance and every ride operator will request each guest use prior to jumping on.
The carousel stands in its glory. Majestic and classic and a sheer delight behind a gorgeous and mostly-shaded backdrop, this go-to ride is perfect at any point in the season. Two frog rides are just a staple of how the park adapts to children of all ages. Frog Hopper and Leapin’ Frogs are prime examples (and many favorites) of how the park adapts to siblings of all ages.
Merlin’s Mayhem is truly a genius coaster that weaves in and out the park and is a treat for both children and parents. The coaster can be ridden by guests 39 inches or taller.
Dutch Wonderland is a special treat and after 2020 – we all need one! Check out our socials for more photos from our visit and remember to purchase tickets now through Labor Day (9/7/2020) for 50% off!
But guess what? They gave us a free pair of passes to give to YOU! Simply email us at: connect@faulknerchevrolet.com with your full name, city, state, and your FAVORITE memory at Dutch Wonderland OR your favorite ride/attraction! (Runs through September 3rd, 2020.) Tickets valid through 2021 season!!
Adventure Trax-ing
You know the saying, “never judge a book by its cover?” That’s exactly what one might think when considering a new Chevrolet Trax. Small, but mighty with quirks and safety, it is a SUV with power and control.
Our team reviewed the Chevrolet Trax and indicated that although it is the smallest SUV offered by Chevrolet, the interior is thoughtfully laid out to allow plenty of legroom. With seating up to five, your passengers will enjoy a comfortable ride with the capability of streaming and browsing using the available 4G LTE wireless internet.
The All-Wheel Drive option is something that grips the road and allows you the driver to be fully in control. The system includes Stabilitrak It makes the ride smoother and comfortable for all – even if you have littles in the back seat who demand more attention.
The trim levels can fit anyone’s needs and budget. One thing that is standard is the Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Another key piece pointed out is the capability to plug your phone into one of the two ports right on the dash to allow you to use navigation – even if your Trax is not equipped with Navigation.
Speaking of navigation and safety plus convenience, the 7-inch screen is massive as well as an awesome display and clarity. This screen has awesome feedback when using the touchscreen. Bluetooth is also another major plus allowing the driver to have a truly hands-free experience.
Convenience is something that Chevrolet DEFINITELY did not compromise on this vehicle. With eight seating configurations, you will be able to fit whatever you need in your new Trax without hesitation. With the true fold-flat front seat, it allows you to fit items up to 8 feet in length with plenty of room for you! Space won’t be a problem with a maximum cargo volume of up to 48.4 cubic feet.
Thinking about a Trax now? Contact us so we can answer your questions and set up your test drive. Thinking about exploring all of the Chevrolet SUV lineup options? Explore them and let us know how we can help.
