The Full-Size New Pickup Fronting The Choice For V-8 Flex: 2018 Silverado 1500

As Pro football is in full season and the most fun of pre-holiday spirit descends on Knoxville, the desire for many to own a full-size truck is mounting. You'll glean superior towing power, the pleasant rush you get during the early morning hours when you first hear the engine rumble, and the promise of the work that has stacked up for the week being wholeheartedly completed. The option for a 6.2-liter V-8 provides top-of-the-line horsepower and maximum towing abilities: you can haul up to 12,500 lbs with this respectable beast.



The true rival to the best-selling Ford F150, the Silverado 1500 has just a few minor tweaks for the 2018 model, as well-working formulas are not always ones that need to be changed. Due to recent government mandates, every model now has a backup camera, to assure safety during the moments you are hurriedly leaving to get somewhere quick. Children are known to be attracted to driveways when they are playing, and when they see toys that have been left behind or on the yard, may stray into this very dangerous zone without notice. The tire-pressure on the new model has an audio alert that indicates when the air pressure is at the right level.

Celebrating the excitement that 100 years of trucks creates, a commemorative Centennial Edition is available for 2018 only. This includes the exclusive Centennial Blue paint color, and badging with design elements inspired by years of successful development and heritage. On last year's model, drivers saw improved towing ability, and the addition of the Chevy Teen Driver system. With insurance rates rising and families becoming busier and busier every day, it's a great idea to have resources to track teens. We can promise you that knowing just where they have been and how fast they went to get there can come in quite handy with the younger drivers in your clan!



Come down to West Chevy and talk to us about the various trim levels available for the 1500: the base WT model starts at just under $30,000 and the fully-loaded High Country can cost up to $60,000. One good way to experience the best this truck has to offer is by opting for the mid-level LT: it starts at around $35,000, and can be paired with the crew cab, short bed, 5.3-liter V-8 and all-wheel drive for around another $10,000.

You can also investigate how the Z71 package gives the driver body-color grille surround, a headlamp bezel, and 18-inch wheels sporting all-terrain tires. You get the trailering package with automatic locking rear differential, and off-road suspension commandeered by industry front-runner Rancho's shocks. Sturdy enough to commandeer you successfully through any demanding day, the Silverado 1500 is the definition of what a modern truck should be: useful, comfortable, and able to get your list of heavy-duty chores done in a snap!
