Show I Buy from your neighbor! Hi Neighbor, Chrysler, Jeep, and Chevrolet. We also carry Coachman, Adrenaline, Sandpiper and Wild wood travel trailers, fifth wheel trailers, tent trailers, motor homes and toy haulers. We may not have exactly what you need in our inventory but we have the ability to search and bring in whatever you need. Its like factory ordering a vehicle without waiting. Before you pass our dealership or consider purchasing a vehicle or RV elsewhere, come in and talk with someone you know. Not only is it good for our local economy but you might find out Barber Brothers is a pretty We carry a full line of Dodge, easy place to do business. My name is Rich Birdzell. I am the Sales Manager at Barber Brothers in Spanish Fork. For eight years I have been helping people in our community with their automotive needs. In that time I have had several customers tell me they cannot purchase locally for one reason or another "they get a better deal elsewhere," "they tried doing business here before and did not get treated the way they expected to" e t c . , we have and will continue to prove them wrong. You can get a good deal and you will be treated the way you expect at Barber Brothers. I personally guarantee it.

The athletic, responsive tuning of the vehicles establishes a new benchmark for full-size SUVs, while providing the driver with a heightened feeling of control. The all-new chassis, with wider front and rear tracks, and new coil-over-shock front suspension support ride and handling characteristics that reinforce the SUVs' "live big, drive small" mantra. These components provide a more agile feel and help deliver an exceptionally smooth ride, enhanced quietness and an overall feeling of strength and stability. "The strength of the new chassis supports the refined feel that is like no other full-size SUVs — vehicles that live big, but drive small," said Terry Woychowski, vehicle chief engineer for full-size trucks. "The combination of a stronger chassis and refined driver control features helps give the vehicles an effortless, controlled, and smooth driving experience.'1 Features of the new chassis and suspension systems include: • A new, fully boxed frame that is significantly stronger and stiffer with hydroformed front and rear bay sections • Wider front and rear tracks — approximately 3 inches (76.2 mm) in front and 1 inch (25.4 mm) in rear — enable increased stability, as well as a smoother, more controlled ride " New coil-over-shock front suspension delivers linear, responsive ride and handling characteristics • Highly refined five-link rear suspension (with variable-rate springs) delivers damped, isolated road feel and supports a variety of load-carrying capabilities • Use of monotube Autoride shock absorbers for more controlled, real-time damping capability • New rack-and-pinion steering system delivers precise, responsive steering and contributes to the vehicles' "drive small" feel • All-new four-wheel disc brake system larger vented discs, stiffer calipers, more robust apply system and standard next-generation Bosch ABS system provides shorter stopping distances, better pedal feel and Tony Archuleta Spanish Fork Larry Crawford Spanish Fork quicker brake response • Larger-diameter standard and available wheels and tires, including segment-largest, 22-inch designs available on Cadillac Escalade • Standard StabiliTrak electronic stability control with first-time GM application of rollover mitigation — a software algorithm technology that uses system sensors to proactivcly predict vehicle "tip-up" and applies appropriate brake forces to prevent rollovers. Full boxed frame For the first time, GM"s full-size SUVs feature a fully boxed perimeter-type frame, the foundation on which the chassis, suspension, powcrtrain and body systmes are mounted. Chcy Tahoc, GMC Yukon/Yukon Denali and Cadillac Escalade ride on a 116-inch (2,946 mm) whcclbase. Other models ride on a longer, 130inch (3,302 mm) whcclbase. The new, boxed frame design offers 49 percent increased torsional stiffness (side-to-side twisting) and 35 percent improved beaming frequency (front-to-back bending), compared with previous-generation vehicles. The stronger frame also supports an increased load capacity of approximately 5 percent. The frame's overall strength and increased stiffness arc combined with more precise, integrated mounting brackets for powcrtrain, suspension and axle components, which enabled engineers to tune chassis and suspension bushings, springs and other elastomctric components for more accurate and refined ride and handling characteristics. The result is smoothness and responsiveness, with the capability expected of a fullsize SUV. Quietness, a more linear driving feel and the feeling of isolation from the road also are enhanced. A variable-height design of the boxed frame is matched with strategic application of high-strength materials throughout. The frame also have three distinct frame sections, or "bays," each with specific strength and support characteristics. The front bay of the frame is an all-new design and features hydroformed frame rails made of high-strcngih steel. The front bay includes the radiator support cross member, engine support cross member and front lower control arm cross member, all of which arc welded to the hydroformed frame rails. GM pioneered the use of hydroformed frame rails for full-size SUVs on the previous-generation vehicles, introduced in 2000. The process uses highly pressurized fluid — up to 20,000 psi — to shape the frame rails. The revised design of the 2007 full-size SUV front bay section is approximately 40 percent stiffer than the previous-generation without a significant difference in mass. A new powcrtrain mounting system is part of the front bay section. It is welded to the engine cross member and includes very stiff mounting brackets for the engine and transmission. The brackets house unique clastomcric bushings (on vehicles not equipped with Displacement On Demand) to dampen vibrations and foster a smoother ride and feel inside the passenger compartment. Vehicles with Displacement on Demandequipped powertrains used hydraulic mounts to accommodate the changing rotational forces associated with the cylinder-deactivating technology. The middle bay section of the frame extends from Ihc A-pillar to the C-pillar area. The boxed side rails of the middle bay support Ihrcc stiffness-enhancing cross members. Strength also is built into joining of the front bay to the middle bay, with the front bay's hydroformed rails slipping inside the boxed sections of the middle bay. This shingle-type design is welded and reinforced with a high-strength steel close-out plate that covers the overlapped joint. The side rails of the middle bay section arc constructed of two pieces of high-strength steel that arc welded to form the sturdy box design. The outer section is made of 60-ksi steel that is 3.3 mm thick; the inner section is made of 30-ksi steel that is 2.2 mm thick. The rails also have a variable-height construction (between 110 mm and 210 mm) that enables strategic placement of strength-enhancing materials in certain areas for a more integrated, lower-mass design. The rear bay frame section extends rearward from the C-pillar. Like the front bay section, its boxed rail sections arc hydroformed and are joined to the middle bay with an overlapping, shingle-type construction. The rear bay section offers enhanced strength via a stronger, singlc-picc spare lire cross member, a more robust fuel tank carrier and cross member and a thicker rear track bar cross member for the five-link rear suspension.
