Expert's Rating

4.7Excellent

MPG 14 City / 20 Highway
Pros
  • Power, quality and comfort
  • Solid towing capacity
  • Lots of engine options
  • Lots of airbags
Cons
  • Fuel economy not the best
  • No diesel engine option
The Chevrolet Silverado has been a venerable pickup truck option for several decades. In the ongoing comfort and power wars with competitors, it has kept up with the times, although with more focus on power and space than perhaps style. The Silverado remains one of the best options for those who work in less than ideal locations, with more than a foot of ground clearance that is best in class.

Introduction

In addition, its engines are at or near the top of the class, especially the V6 and V8 models. Seating is a strong suit, as up to six occupants can ride in comfort in some of the four-door cabs. The rest of the interior is well thought out, and there are a number of storage options. Occupants hopefully won't need it, but standard side and side-curtain airbags will help protect them in accidents. While there is no diesel V8, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 makes up for it thanks to a number of towing packages, including sway control.
