Why Buy a Diesel Truck or SUV in Kenner, LA?

Looking for serious power, long-haul stamina, and surprising fuel savings? Diesel engines are built to go the distance – and then some. At Best Chevrolet in Kenner, LA, our diesel-powered Chevy trucks and SUVs are ready to tow, haul, and conquer your daily grind with confidence. If you’re on the fence about gas vs. diesel, we’re here to break it down so you can make the smartest choice for your lifestyle.

The Power Behind Diesel

Diesel engines are engineered for endurance. With more torque at lower RPMs, diesel trucks deliver serious pulling power without breaking a sweat. Whether you’re towing a boat to Lake Pontchartrain or hauling gear to a job site in Metairie, you’ll feel the difference the moment you hit the throttle.

Why torque matters:

• Better Towing Strength (Especially up Steep Inclines)
• Easier Low-Speed Maneuvering when Trailering
• Greater Stability and Control when Carrying Heavy Payloads

Take the Chevy Silverado 2500 HD with the available Duramax® 6.6-liter Turbo-Diesel V8. It's the kind of powertrain you want when your work is tough, your trailer is heavy, and your weekend toys are oversized.

Diesel = Efficiency + Longevity

Fuel economy is where diesel really surprises people. Diesel engines burn fuel more slowly and efficiently than gas engines. That means fewer stops at the pump and more miles per tank, especially helpful on those I-10 road trips.

Plus, diesel engines are built to last. With stronger internal components and lower engine RPMs at highway speeds, these powertrains often go hundreds of thousands of miles with proper maintenance. For long-term value and dependability, diesel is hard to beat.

Built for Louisiana Living

From towing crawfish trailers to navigating muddy backroads, diesel engines fit right in with how we live and drive here in southeast Louisiana. Diesel-equipped Chevy trucks are built to handle Gulf Coast conditions – heat, humidity, and all.

Perfect for:

• Contractors Hauling Heavy Equipment
• Outdoor Adventurers with Boats, Campers, or ATVs
• Families who Road-Trip Across the South
• Drivers who Keep their Vehicles for the Long Haul

And with the rise of Chevrolet’s diesel SUVs, like the available Tahoe Diesel and Suburban Diesel, you can enjoy long-distance comfort and towing capability without the bulk of a heavy-duty truck.

Common Diesel Myths – Busted

• “Diesel is Loud and Smoky”: Not anymore. Modern diesel engines are quiet, clean, and smooth, thanks to advanced exhaust treatment systems and noise-reducing technology.
• “Diesel Fuel is Hard to Find”: Nope! Diesel is widely available across Kenner, New Orleans, and beyond. Most major gas stations carry it.
• “Maintenance is Expensive”: Routine maintenance costs are often comparable to gas engines, and diesel engines typically need fewer major repairs over time.
