Chevrolet Dealer near Leicester NC
Chevrolet Dealer in Leicester, NC
Out past the edge of Asheville, Leicester runs on pickups. Hay gets hauled, cattle trailers get pulled, and gravel driveways stretch a quarter mile back from the road.
Autostar Chevrolet of Waynesville keeps a deep bench of Silverado trucks alongside used pickups and SUVs, plus a team that knows a bumper pull from a gooseneck.
Leicester, Sandy Mush and the Back Roads Between
Northwest Buncombe County still looks a lot like it did decades ago. Pastures roll along Sandy Mush Creek, round bales line the fence rows each summer, and the New Leicester Highway is the main way in and out.
Come fall, hunters head for the Sandy Mush Game Land, and plenty of families still put up a garden big enough to feed the neighbors. It is country living with Asheville close enough for a Saturday supply run.
Drivers from these communities shop with us too:
- Sandy Mush
- Alexander
- Newfound
- Woodfin
- Weaverville
- Marshall
Four Chevy Pickups Built for Leicester Chores
Light-duty, heavy-duty or something in the middle. Match the truck to the heaviest thing you plan to hook up.
Chevrolet Colorado
Handles feed store runs and a small utility trailer, and it still fits under most carport roofs.
Chevrolet Silverado 1500
The everyday workhorse. Tows a bass boat or a two-horse trailer, then cleans up nicely for church on Sunday.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
Stiffer springs and an available Duramax diesel for loaded flatbeds and livestock trailers on hilly county roads.
Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD
Available dual rear wheels for the biggest gooseneck hauls, from a full load of round bales to heavy equipment.
Match the Hitch to the Haul
A big tow rating does little good if the hitch, axle ratio or brake controller is wrong for your trailer. Tell us what you pull and how often, and we will work backward from there.
Many Silverado HD trucks can be ordered with the factory gooseneck and fifth-wheel prep package. Built-in trailering cameras also make backing up to a hitch in a muddy barn lot a one-person job.
- Payload and towing numbers checked against your trailer
- Integrated trailer brake controllers on many trims
- Hitches and wiring from the parts counter
Buying a Truck for the Farm or Business
Lots of Leicester pickups earn their keep, whether that means a cattle operation, a landscaping crew or a one-person contracting outfit. A work truck can be titled to your business, and Chevrolet often runs incentives aimed at commercial buyers.
Bring your business details and we will look at what applies. The finance department can also compare a loan against a lease if you swap trucks every few years.
- Business purchases and titles
- Current commercial offers reviewed with you
- Factory orders when the right build is not on the lot
Leicester Truck and Trailer Questions
Do I need a Silverado 1500 or a 2500HD for my livestock trailer?
Start with the loaded weight of the trailer, not the empty one. If you regularly pull a full gooseneck or spend a lot of time on steep grades, a heavy-duty truck gives you more margin and less strain.
What is the difference between payload and towing capacity?
Towing capacity is what the truck can pull behind it. Payload is what it can carry in the cab and bed, including passengers, tools and the tongue weight of your trailer. Both numbers matter.
Can I get a truck with a gooseneck hitch already installed?
Silverado HD models offer a factory gooseneck and fifth-wheel prep package. If the truck you like does not have one, ask what your options are before you buy.
Can you order a Silverado built the way I want it?
Yes. If nothing in stock matches your cab, bed length, engine and towing equipment, we can place a factory order and keep you updated until it arrives.
Can my farm or business buy the truck instead of me?
It can. Have your business name, tax ID and any insurance details handy, and ask about commercial incentives while you are here.
Do you carry used work trucks?
Our pre-owned inventory usually includes a mix of half-ton and heavy-duty pickups. They tend to sell quickly, so check online often and call if you spot one you like.
Do you service Duramax diesel trucks?
Yes. Diesel maintenance like fuel filters, oil changes and exhaust fluid system checks can all be booked through our online service scheduler.
