Silverado 1500 Makes Appearance on Car and Driver “Pickups from Top To Bottom” List

Just as we claim on our main manufacturer web portal, combining a century of truck building know-how with 7 million miles of testing, you are not going to end up with just any old average truck. The end result is amazingly stronger, bigger, and even lighter than what was offered during previous generations. Offering up a large variety of choices so you can get the capability you need, the Silverado is built upon the legacy of the most resilient and durable pickups out there on the road, yesterday and today.

Car and Driver has long been a print and web-based portal where you can go to get the scoop on any car or truck in existence, and see what some of the most seasoned test drivers and past engineers think of each one. This past week they ran a feature that went down the proverbial list of what is available out there in the truck climate, to properly prepare anyone who is looking for a new hauling machine or daily driver to take care of business. The first thing they got righteously excited about is the addition of a new turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, joining the range of V-8's and V-6's as a power source that is poised and ready to be a great addition to your New Year's fleet!

Check with us here at West Chevy of Knoxville to see about all of the perks you get as a current GM owner and Lessee: there are price reductions and Loyalty Purchase rewards for those of you who have been by our side through multiple vehicles. There are 8 trim choices now, with each one offering unique designs and capabilities, and providing you the means to easily find the truck right for you. The exclusive grille and center bar with two-tone Bronze and finish is part of the High Country trim's allure, while the LT Trail Boss provides useful features such as the 2-inch factory suspension lift with Z71 Off-Road Package.

The “Work Truck” trim is where so many Knoxville-area preferences lie: it comes with the super-cool Chevy Graphic grille and tailgate, as well as the blacked-out bumpers, trim, and grille. Powered by the Ecotec2 4.3-Liter V6 engine, it also incorporates the modern genius of Active Fuel Management. The Durabed features 12 standard tie-downs, enabling you to get through any demanding haul or tow with ease: this is three times more than any competitor. The Silverado now offers the most functional bed of any pickup, and boasts the available industry-first power up/-down tailgate. With best-in-class bed width and up to 20% more cargo volume than the competition, all of us here at West Chevy were excited to once again see this year's Silverado featured within a first-rate publication, and are just as excited for you to come take one of these trusty warriors for a winter's spin!
