What will the car insurance premium be for a Chevrolet Silverado?
0
The Chevy Silverado has racked up a number of “Truck of the Year” awards from Motor Trend, winning the title in 1999, 2001, 2007, and 2011. Out of full-sized pickups, the Silverado ranks third when it comes to fuel economy, getting 15 mpg city and 20 mpg highway. It didn’t fare so well in safety tests though. While it did well in front-impact testing, its rear impact was only acceptable and for side crashes, it rated “Poor”. Despite this poor showing, the Silverado does well when it comes to insurance. You can expect to pay around $1,500 a year or $127 a month. This puts it on the low end for full-size pickup trucks.

What’s the difference between an e-bike, scooter, moped, and motor tricycle? With the warmer weather upon us and rising gas prices you’ve probably noticed vehicles on Ontario’s roads that are unlike most; they don’t appear to be a motorcycle and they certainly aren’t a car or truck. So what the heck are they and what’s needed to ride them?
e-bikes
Increasingly popular, an e-bike typically looks like a regular bicycle, and are treated in much the same manner as conventional bicycles; they currently do not require licensing, insurance, registration or licence plates. An e-bike is a power-assisted bicycle and its top allowable speed is 32 km/h.
