Football season is back, which means it's time for big plays, great food, good friends, and, of course, tailgating. Whether you're heading to a Chiefs game or hosting your own football gathering, the right Chevrolet can make hauling everything you need a whole lot easier. Here's how to get your Chevy ready for game day. 1. Pick the Right Chevrolet for Your Tailgate Start by thinking about what you're bringing with you. The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is a great option when you're hauling coolers, folding chairs, tables, grills, games, and other bulky tailgate gear. The truck bed gives you extra space without taking over the passenger cabin. Explore Chevrolet Silverado 1500 inventory Bringing the whole crew?

Make the Most of Your Space A little organization can help you fit everything without turning your vehicle into a storage unit. Use smaller storage areas for things like chargers, sunglasses, and other essentials, while keeping larger items together for easy unloading. Driving a Silverado? Use the truck bed for the bulky stuff. Bringing an SUV? Take advantage of available cargo space and flexible seating. 4. Bring Your Football Crew The more friends, the better the tailgate. The Traverse, Tahoe, and Suburban give you options when you need space for passengers, coolers, chairs, backpacks, and all the gear that somehow ends up coming along. Less vehicle Tetris. More football. 5. Get Your Chevrolet Ready for the Season Before you head out for game day, give your vehicle a quick check. Look at your tires, brakes, battery, fluids, lights, and windshield wipers. Taking care of routine maintenance ahead of time can help you avoid an unwanted fourth-quarter surprise on the side of the road. Schedule service at McCarthy Chevrolet Lee's Summit 6.
