Chevrolet Silverado

The Silverado lineup’s diversity and performance capability expands with new models and revised powertrain offerings, including nationwide availability of the Silverado 1500 Hybrid.

Designed to enhance the towing capability of 4WD models of the Silverado 1500 extended cab/regular-length box and Silverado 1500 Crew Cab, the new VortecMax Performance Pack includes a high-output 6.0-liter engine rated at 345 horsepower and 380 lb.-ft. of torque, a heavy-duty trailering package and a new 9.5-inch rear axle.

Silverado 1500 is now available with a new extended cab/short box configuration. Available with 2WD or 4WD, the extended cab design is matched with a 5-foot 8-inch box – the same as Crew Cab models – giving customers three bed choices: short, standard (6-foot 6-inches) and long (8-foot).

Silverado extended cab/short box models come with LT trim and a 5.3-liter V8, which is rated at 295 horsepower and 335 lb.-ft. of torque. Two-wheel drive models have a GVWR of 6200 pounds; the 4WD model has a 6400-pound GVWR.

An all-new version of the 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V8 engine will debut as an option on Silverado Heavy Duty models. When mated to an all-new six-speed automatic transmission, the new powerplant will deliver more horsepower – 360 hp at 3200 rpm – and increased torque, at 650 lb.-ft.
