Build your new Chevrolet with Tony
Your Chevy, Your Way.
Your color. Your trim. Your engine. Your options. Your packages. There are a lot of ways to build a new Chevrolet — I’ll help you understand the choices and put together a Chevy that fits what you actually want.I’m Tony Tribble. Before joining Ballas Chevrolet, I spent over a decade in public service as a police officer and firefighter. Today, I have the opportunity to continue helping people by making the car-buying process simple, honest, and pressure-free while staying involved in the community my family now calls home.

Ready today, six months from now, or even a year away?
Start planning with Tony now. No pressure. No obligation. Most of the best builds I deliver started as a text message months before the customer was ready to buy that lead time is exactly what lets us watch incentives, catch model-year changes and order at the right moment instead of settling for whatever happens to be on a lot.
Every choice is yours
A new Chevy isn’t one vehicle. It’s hundreds of decisions.
combinations, a dozen exterior colors, multiple interiors, several wheel designs, towing equipment, technology, appearance packages, convenience packages and a long list of stand-alone factory options.
That is either overwhelming or exciting, and which one it feels like usually comes down to whether someone is walking you through it. That is my job.
Model
Truck, SUV, crossover or sports car — we start with what fits your life.
Trim
Where most of the money moves. I show you what each step actually adds.
Engine
Turbo four, V8, Duramax diesel or electric, matched to how you drive.
2WD or 4WD
Winter here is real. Sometimes 4WD matters; sometimes it's money you could spend elsewhere.
Cab & Bed Size
Crew cab short bed, double cab standard bed — measure your garage first.
Exterior Color
Some finishes cost extra and some are constrained. We plan around that.
Interior
Cloth, leather, seat color and second-row configuration.
Wheels
Size and finish change both the look and the ride.
Technology
Screens, camera systems, driver assistance, connectivity and audio.
Towing
Hitch, brake controller, mirrors, cooling and fifth-wheel prep.
Appearance Packages
Blackout, Z71, Trail Boss, RS and Midnight-style treatments.
Convenience Packages
The bundles that quietly include the feature you wanted.
Not sure where to start? That’s okay.
You don’t need to know every trim, package or option. Tell me what you want your vehicle to do, what features are important to you and approximately what you want to spend. I’ll help you understand the choices and find the right build for you. Plenty of people start with nothing more than “I want a Tahoe” that is a fine place to begin.
Start with the job, not the trim
Tell me what the vehicle has to do. Tow a 7,000-pound camper twice a summer. Fit three car seats. Handle a gravel road every morning. The right trim falls out of that answer.
Name the features you actually care about
Heated and cooled seats, a sunroof, adaptive cruise, a bed you can reach into, wireless charging for the kids' tablets. Small list, big difference in which package we choose.
Give me a rough number
Not an exact budget — a range. Knowing whether we are shaping a $45,000 truck or a $75,000 truck saves you from falling for a build that was never going to work.
The Chevrolet lineup
Chevy models we can build together
Trucks, family SUVs, crossovers and the Corvette — here is where most builds start. Every one of these can be ordered the way you want it rather than the way a lot happened to be stocked.
Full-size SUVs
Tahoe and Suburban builds are the ones people ask the most questions about — third row, towing, four-wheel drive, seating and the jump between trims.
Build a Full-size SUV with TonyCorvette
If there is one Chevrolet worth building exactly to your spec, it is this one. We go through it slowly and get every detail right.
Build a Corvette with TonySilverado 1500
Cab and bed combinations, engine choices from the turbo four to the 6.2L V8, off-road and appearance packages, and towing equipment that actually matches what you pull.
Build a Silverado 1500 with TonySilverado HD
2500HD and 3500HD builds for people who tow heavy. Gas or Duramax diesel, single or dual rear wheel, and the fifth-wheel prep most buyers forget to ask about.
Build a Silverado HD with TonyColorado
A midsize truck that fits a normal garage. Trail Boss and off-road builds are popular here, and the option list is short enough to get exactly right.
Build a Colorado with TonyTahoe
Three rows, real towing capability, and a big spread between trims. This is the model people most often need help configuring — worth a conversation before you order.
Build a Tahoe with TonySuburban
Everything the Tahoe offers plus extra cargo length behind the third row. If you haul kids, gear and a trailer in the same weekend, start here.
Build a Suburban with TonyTraverse
A family three-row without truck proportions. Seating configuration, all-wheel drive and driver-assistance technology are the choices that matter most.
Build a Traverse with TonyEquinox
The practical daily Chevy. Gas or EV, front- or all-wheel drive, and a package list that can be kept simple or loaded up.
Build an Equinox with TonyTrax
Small, sharp and surprisingly well equipped for the money. A favorite for first-time buyers and anyone who wants new without a big payment.
Build a Trax with TonyTrailblazer
A step up from the Trax with available all-wheel drive and Activ or RS styling. Good fit for Midwest winters without going full SUV.
Build a Trailblazer with TonyBlazer
Styling-forward midsize SUV. Gas or EV, wheel and appearance choices change the character of this one more than most.
Build a Blazer with TonyCorvette
The build that deserves the most patience. Stingray, Z06 and E-Ray configurations, seat choices, wheels, calipers and interior colors — we go through all of it.
Build a Corvette with TonyHow building a Chevy with me works
Tell me what you're thinking
Text, email or the form on this page. One sentence is enough to start — "I want a Tahoe" is a perfectly good beginning.
We shape the build together
I walk you through trims, engines, drivetrain, colors, interiors, wheels, technology, towing equipment and packages, and explain what each choice actually changes.
You approve the build sheet
Nothing gets ordered until you have seen exactly what is on it. If you want to sit on it for a month, sit on it for a month.
I place and track the order
Once it is in, I keep you posted as your Chevy moves through the process, and I handle the trade and purchase or lease details as delivery gets close.
Have something to trade?
Bring it into the conversation early. Year, make, model, mileage and roughly what you owe is enough for me to give you a realistic range while we are still planning the build. We finalize the number closer to delivery, when the market is current. Get your trade value now.
Purchase or lease later
We do not need to sort out financing today. As your build gets close, we look at the purchase and lease programs available at that time and pick whichever one actually serves you. See how financing works with me.
Start My Build
Six quick fields — no credit application, no obligation, no automated sales machine on the other end. I read every one of these myself and reply personally, usually the same day.
Got it — thanks!
I'll reach out shortly to talk through your build. If it's urgent, feel free to call or text me directly at 260-668-6804.
Questions about ordering a new Chevrolet
It starts with a conversation, not paperwork. You tell me the model you have in mind — or just what you need the vehicle to do — and we walk through trim, engine, drivetrain, colors, wheels, technology and packages together. Once the build sheet reflects what you actually want, I place the factory order through Ballas Chevrolet and keep you updated as it moves along.
It depends on the model, the plant schedule and how the options you chose are being allocated that month, so I will never quote you an exact date up front. What I will do is give you the current realistic range for your specific build and tell you honestly if something you picked is likely to slow it down.
Absolutely, and I would rather you did. Early planning is the whole point of this page. We can shape the build now, watch incentives and model-year changes, and time the order so it lands when you are actually ready. There is no cost and no obligation to plan ahead with me.
That is the part most people need help with. There is real overlap between trims, and some features only come bundled inside a specific package. I will show you where the money actually goes so you are not paying for equipment you will never use — or missing the one option you would have regretted skipping.
Yes. Silverado, Silverado HD, Colorado, Tahoe, Suburban, Traverse, Equinox, Trax, Trailblazer, Blazer and Corvette are all on the table, along with the rest of the Chevy lineup. Availability of specific trims and options changes by model year.
No. I regularly work with customers across Northwest Ohio, Southern Michigan and Northeast Indiana, and plenty of people drive in from farther out. Most of the planning happens by text, email or phone, so distance rarely gets in the way.
Yes. Tell me the year, make, model, mileage and roughly what you owe, and I can give you a realistic range early so you know where you stand. We finalize the trade value closer to delivery, when the numbers are current.
None. No deposit to ask questions, no pressure, no endless follow-up calls. Some people I talk to order within a week; others check in for a year before they are ready. Both are fine with me.
Your Chevy. Your Way.
From your first idea to your new Chevy arriving, I'll help you through the process. Reach out today even if you are a year out — planning early is how you end up with the truck or SUV you actually wanted.
