The Chevrolet Silverado works hard to live up to its reputation as the 'strongest, most dependable and longest lasting truck on the road'. The 1500 is the 'half-ton', model in Chevrolet's full-size pickup line-up. There are four engine sizes to choose from: 4.3-liter V6, 4.8-liter V8, 5.3-liter V8, and 6.2-liter V8; and two transmissions: a four-speed automatic and a six-speed automatic. Like all Silverados, the 1500 is available in a wide array of bed sizes, wheelbases, drive types and cab sizes, as well as a variety of trim levels. The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is visually unchanged from 2009, but the 4.8-liter engine is now flexible-fuel, air conditioning and electronic stability control are now standard on the Work Truck trim, and overhead curtain airbags are now standard on all trims. New audio systems feature audio-DVD and USB ports. |
