The nationwide truck frenzy has really been at
it's peak for about the last 3 years, as more of them are popping up on the
road then seemingly any vehicle out there. The RAM, F 150, and our beloved
Silverado are consistently the “big three” that are battling for market share,
and every little feature and bulky new towing rating counts. The folks on staff
at the Construction blog ran a great feature this past week
highlighting the powertrain options for next year's Silverado, laying out for
all who are interested in the specifics.
One option that will be quite popular is the
10-speed automatic transmission paired with the 5.3-liter V-8 engine standard
on the LT Trail Boss, and available on the High Country. There will also be a
6.2-liter V-8 offered on the Custom Trail Boss, LT Trail Boss and RST trims.
When equipped with the 6.2-liter V8, the Silverado RST has the ability to tow
up to 13,400 pounds. On next year's models, more than half of the Silverado
trim levels will be available with the 6.2-liter V-8, cranking out an
SAE-certified 420 hp, and 460 lb-ft of torque, paired to the 10-speed automatic
transmission.
On the LT Trail Boss and Custom Trail Boss, this
already massive power is paired with a 2-inch factory suspension lift, and the
Z71 off-road package that features a locking rear differential, skid plates,
Rancho mono-tube off-road shocks, 18-inch wheels, and Goodyear Duratrac tires.
If you are still left hungry for even more performance, the 6.2-liter engine is
also available with a Performance Upgrade Package that adds a performance air
intake and cat-back performance exhaust, raising output to 435 hp and 469 lb-ft
of torque. There will also be the availability of the Duramax turbo-diesel
engine, which is available on the LT, RST, LTZ, and High Country models, and
the 3.0-liter Duramax diesel pumps out 277 hp and 460 lb-ft. Of torque.
The tried-and-true Dynamic Fuel Management system
is also available with the 10-speed automatic transmission on certain trim
levels: it comes standard on the LT and Trail Boss, and is also available on
the High Country trim. One of the best assets ever to navigate parking lots and
make tight turns is also on board: the transparent trailer feature puts to use
the tailgate-mounted camera and an available accessory camera mounted to the
rear of the trailer. This point of view also helps greatly with the
sometimes-precarious duty of merging into traffic. Here at West Chevy, we have long met our
personal goal of giving every single customer the absolute best in sales and
service expertise, and we are beyond excited to offer test drives of next
year's Silverado when it arrives!
