OVERVIEW
In an era when it seems like so many vehicles are trying to be everything to everyone, Chevy's Silverado—a blood relative of GMC's Sierra— stands as proud testament to the humble nobility of the pickup truck. As with other full-size trucks, the Silverado can be configured in a dizzying number of ways. Of course, 2WD and 4WD driver versions are available, as are short beds, long beds, and standard, regular and crew cabs. For those looking for a stripped-down work truck, there's an appropriately named Work Truck trim (featuring only basic creature comforts), along with a more nicely appointed LS and LT trims (think MP3 stereo and satellite radio), and a top-of-the-line LTZ model (with Bluetooth, a Bose stereo, wood trim, and heated seats). All models feature side-curtain airbags, traction and stability control, and a fuel-saving six-speed automatic transmission. Engine options range between the base 4.3L V6 or flex-fuel ready 5.3L V8 all the way up to a beef 6.2L V8 available on the Crew Cab LTZ. And while all those options make for options lists, at the end of the day it means buyers can get exactly the truck they're looking for—which is as American as apple pie. MSRP for the Silverado starts at $21,235.
