My Favorite Silverado Feature
Well, my fun with the Silverado is over. I turned it back to my North Texas Chevy Dealer a few hours ago, and I am missing it. I wanted to wait to write about my favorite feature until after I turned it in to see what I missed it most. Want to guess what it…

One Final Silverado Accessory
As my time with this fantastic vehicle is coming to a close, I thought of another thing that I would upgrade on my Silverado. I was listening to one of my new favorite albums, Be My Thrill by The Weepies, and one particular song was causing the speaker’s bottom end to distort the top end…

From “Heard It” to “PLAYIN’ It!”
One of my favorite features of the Chevy Silverado is the integration with the iPhone/iPod. The Bluetooth integration makes for safer driving with both hands on the wheel, and the audio is surprisingly good. Sure. the caller on the other end can tell you are in the car, and I wouldn’t use it for a…

How Big is that Bed?
One of our missions as a Weekend Warrior is to load up the bed of the Chevy Silverado to see how much stuff we could fit into it. I headed off to Cabela’s to see just how much I could get in there. How Big is the Bed (part deux) from Branden Williams on Vimeo.…

I lost my truck!
Whoops. It happens to the best of us, right? You rush to the airport and have every intention of writing down where you parked, or taking a picture, or making a song about your parking spot.

How to Accessorize a Silverado
So far, I love having the Silverado to drive around town. It feels safe, comfortable, and the kids love it. While we didn’t get the crew cab to drive, it turns out that the extended cab gives us plenty of room for our family. The Silverado we have also has the Texas Edition package on…

Off to the Fair!
Going to the Texas State Fair was a tradition in my wife’s family that she talks about every October. Ironically, we’ve known each other for more than ten years and this year was our first trip as a couple (with two kids in tow!) to visit Big Tex, the Midway, the auto show, the vendors,…

Being a Good Samaritan
I like to believe, in general, that people want to help their fellow man. In stark contrast to this humane underpinning of our being, we’re in a hurry. Constantly rushing from place to place to check off all of the things on our To Do list. Add to that the number of good samaritans (or…

The Silverado Extended Cab… uh… CAB!
Greetings everyone! This is my first post as a Chevy Weekend Warrior. Read my bio here, and check out my videos here. Now, on to the fun! When I got the Chevy Silverado Extended Cab, I must say I was a little worried. When I started this adventure, I wanted to make sure my family…
