This popular pickup’s new features will shake up the competition
TUCSON, Ariz. – The 2027 Chevrolet Silverado HD pickups look familiar, but under the skin they’re new in ways that will make a huge difference to the owners who use them for everything from hauling million-dollar horses to emergency utility work. New steering and brakes change the heavy duty trucks’ character, making them easier to drive than ever before, even when pulling their new towing capacity – 38,000 pounds, a full ton more than the current model. Built in Flint, Michigan, the 2027 Silverado 2500 and 3500 HDs are scheduled to go on sale late this year. I drove Silverado HDs on everything from a closed track to suburban roads, desert highways and a rugged off-road course. I also towed a 36,000-pound trailer loaded with landscaping materials on a closed course. I don't have the commercial driver's license needed to legally pilot a rig that size on public roads. What I liked about new 'feel' The new steering and brakes are a revelation. Competitive heavy-duty pickups ― the Ford F-series Super Duty and Ram 2500 and 3500 ― use another type of steering called recirculating ball. It used to be common on cars and pickups, but has been widely replaced

Cat House Lounge will reopen under new management in Howell
The Cat House Lounge is getting another chance in downtown Howell, after closing at the end of Melon Fest in August. The business will reopen under the same ownership, but new management, at 4 p.m. Nov. 18. According to a release, the cocktail bar will have an updated drink menu and small plate offerings, in addition to staff members with "deep roots" in Livingston County. In September, owner Clark Gill said the business was closing because sales "never really saw the volume" necessary to be sustainable. Gill also owns the nearby Aberrant Ales at 219 W. Grand River Ave. “We closed in the late summer to refocus the concept,” Gill wrote in the release. “While we saw success in some areas, we saw several areas of improvement that needed to change in order to deliver the quality product and service we strive for." Julia Blair will serve as the businesses' bartender and mixologist. She'll be joined by a team of bartenders who specialize in craft cocktail curation and have local connections. “I was a fan of The Cathouse Lounge," Blair wrote in the release. "After (it closed), I saw an opportunity. I had a vision for the space and the
