Chevy Truck Dealer Near Midlothian and Mansfield, TX

Legacy Chevrolet of Waxahachie sits directly on the US-287 Bypass at 1701 US-287 Byp, Waxahachie, TX 75165. That is roughly 11 miles and a 16-minute drive from Midlothian. Mansfield is about 23 miles away, down the same highway. The full Chevrolet pickup lineup is within easy reach for North Texas truck buyers, without a fight through metro traffic to get here.

How Far Is Legacy Chevrolet from Midlothian, Mansfield, and DeSoto?

US-287 does most of the work. Midlothian sits almost exactly halfway between Waxahachie and Mansfield on that corridor. Drivers coming from either direction stay on one road for most of the trip. DeSoto and the rest of southern Dallas County reach us by way of US-287 and US-67.

Waxahachie is the Ellis County seat, and the county line places Dallas County immediately to our north. Midlothian has grown quickly in recent years. New suburban development now spreads across the gently rolling Blackland Prairie between our two cities, and the city’s northern edge reaches Joe Pool Lake.

That mix matters when you shop for a truck. Highway miles, open suburban stretches, and weekend trailering are all part of driving here. Cover that range on a test drive before you choose between a midsize, light-duty, or heavy-duty pickup.

Which 2026 Chevy Truck Fits Your Hauling Needs?

We carry all three duty classes. The midsize Colorado, the light-duty Silverado 1500, and the heavy-duty Silverado HD each serve a different job. Matching the truck to the work usually comes down to how much you tow and how often.

2026 Chevrolet Colorado: The Midsize Option

Every 2026 Chevrolet Colorado uses the same 2.7L TurboMax four-cylinder. It is rated at 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic. One engine across every trim means your decision is about equipment, not powertrain.

Properly equipped with the Advanced Trailering Package, Colorado tows up to 7,700 pounds. Payload reaches up to 1,833 pounds on lighter configurations. See what is on the lot now in our new Colorado inventory. Cross-shopping the segment? Our 2026 Chevy Colorado vs. Toyota Tacoma comparison breaks it down.

2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500: The Light-Duty Workhorse

Silverado 1500 offers four powertrains. The 2.7L TurboMax is the standard engine, and it tows up to 9,500 pounds. The 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 is the long-running middle option. The 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 makes the most horsepower in the lineup.

The Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel I-6 makes the most torque. It also earns the highest tow rating of any half-ton Silverado. Maximum payload reaches 2,260 pounds, achieved with the 2.7L TurboMax in a Regular Cab Long Bed with two-wheel drive.

2026 Chevrolet Silverado HD: The Heavy-Duty Answer

Silverado HD is built for fifth-wheel campers, gooseneck livestock trailers, and loaded equipment trailers. The standard 6.6L V8 gas engine makes 401 horsepower and 464 lb-ft of torque. The available Duramax 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 makes 470 horsepower and 975 lb-ft, paired with a 10-speed Allison automatic.

Silverado 2500 HD tops out at 22,420 pounds of maximum trailering. Silverado 3500 HD reaches 36,000 pounds with the diesel in the right configuration. See what is on the lot now in our new Silverado HD inventory.

2026 Chevy Truck Engine and Towing Comparison

Silverado 1500 towing figures come from Chevrolet’s 2026 Silverado 1500 Max Trailering chart. Top ratings require the available Max Trailering Package, and the highest figures also require 20-inch wheels.

Maximum towing and payload capacity figures are based on properly equipped vehicles and vary by configuration. Do not exceed any weight rating. See your owner’s manual and the vehicle’s door-jamb label for specific capacities.

Should You Buy a New or Used Chevy Truck?

The choice usually comes down to two things. Do you want the newest cabin technology and full factory coverage? Or do you want a lower price and a shot at a higher trim for the same money? Both paths hold up well on North Texas roads.

Buying New: Factory Coverage and Current Tech

A new Silverado or Colorado carries Chevrolet’s standard factory coverage, outlined in the Chevrolet Limited Warranty and Owner Assistance information.

One caveat worth confirming on the specific truck you are considering: Silverado TurboMax and Duramax Turbo-Diesel engines carry powertrain coverage of 5 years or 100,000 miles rather than the standard retail term above.

On the technology side, Silverado 1500 offers a 13.4-inch diagonal touchscreen on LT trims and above. Colorado comes standard with an 11.3-inch diagonal display. Both support wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. Chevy Safety Assist, a package of six driver-assistance features, is standard on every Silverado.

Driver-assistance and advanced safety systems are supplemental aids and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving. Availability, operation, and effectiveness vary by trim and equipment and depend on factors including road, weather, traffic, and vehicle condition. Always keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. See your owner’s manual for system limitations and details.

A Timing Note on the Silverado 1500

The 2026 Silverado 1500 is the last of its generation. Chevrolet revealed the next-generation 2027 Silverado 1500 in June 2026, and it is expected to go on sale in late 2026. The redesign brings all-new 5.7L and 6.6L V8 engines and a seven-trim lineup. Buyers who prefer the proven current-generation truck are shopping its final production run.

2027 Silverado 1500 specifications, features, and availability are preliminary and subject to change. Preproduction models shown by the manufacturer; actual production models may vary.

Buying Used: CarBravo Replaced Certified Pre-Owned

General Motors merged its Certified Pre-Owned program into CarBravo effective June 2, 2026. CarBravo is now the only certified used channel for Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC dealers, and certification is no longer limited to GM vehicles.

Bravo Tier coverage begins after any remaining factory warranty expires. You can read more about CarBravo before you shop.

Used shopping is also how many buyers reach trims like LTZ, Z71, or High Country without stretching the budget. If bed length is driving your decision, our guide to Chevrolet Silverado bed sizes and lengths covers every configuration.

Chevy Truck FAQs

What trailering equipment is required to reach the Silverado 1500’s maximum towing capacity?

The 13,300-pound maximum requires the Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel I-6 in a Double Cab Standard Bed two-wheel-drive configuration with the Max Trailering Package and 20-inch wheels. That package adds a 9.76-inch rear axle, heavy-duty rear springs, revised shock tuning, and an integrated trailer brake controller. The 6.2L EcoTec3 V8 reaches up to 13,200 pounds in Crew Cab four-wheel-drive configurations.

Is the Chevy Colorado practical for daily suburban driving?

Yes. Colorado is sold only as a crew cab with a five-foot bed, so it parks more easily in residential driveways and garages than a full-size pickup. In two-wheel drive it is EPA-estimated at 19 MPG city and 24 MPG highway. Four-wheel-drive Work Truck, LT, Trail Boss, and Z71 models are EPA-estimated at 17 MPG city and 22 MPG highway. It still tows up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped.

Fuel economy ratings are published by the EPA and can be looked up at fueleconomy.gov.

EPA-estimated fuel economy figures are for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on driving conditions, how you drive and maintain your vehicle, battery age/condition, and other factors.
