Selection that fits how northern Wisconsin drives

Northern Wisconsin roads can vary from paved county routes to gravel and two-track access points. Our inventory reflects that reality. Explore trucks like the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Colorado for work sites, towing, and cabin-bound weekends. Consider family-ready SUVs such as Equinox, Trailblazer, Traverse, and Tahoe for school runs, hockey gear, and lake trips. With available Switchable All-Wheel Drive, a robust selection of 4×4 trucks, and advanced driver assistance via Chevy Safety Assist, there is a configuration ready for your day-to-day and your getaways.

Looking ahead to electric? Check out the Silverado EV and Blazer EV. We can walk you through charging at home, public charging options along your regular routes, regenerative braking benefits, and how daily driving in and around Medford can fit seamlessly with an EV lifestyle.
