 It’s Best At What Matters Most

Silverado excels at the attributes you value most in a pickup. With the strength of a three-piece modular frame. With remarkably fuel-efficient VortecTM power. With the innovation of a Two-Mode Hybrid System. And with the enhanced driver control and safety of systems like StabiliTrak®. Silverado puts advanced technology to work to make Silverado 1500 even more capable, even more economical to operate and even more durable.

How To Earn Best-In-Class Fuel Efficiency Honours1

No one can overestimate the importance of fuel efficiency today, with gas prices being what they are. And since so many truck owners rely on their trucks for the daily grind of their business, that is particularly true for you. Silverado responds to this very real need with nothing less than best-in-class V8 fuel efficiency, both in the city and on the highway.1 It starts with a tremendously capable 326 hp VortecTM 5.3L V8 engine that's the most popular choice in Silverado 1500 models. The engine uses such advanced fuel-saving technologies as Active Fuel Management that shuts down half the engine's cylinders when power demands are low, and Variable Valve Timing (VVT) that optimizes combustion timing. Add in the benefits of the two overdrive gears in the six-speed automatic transmission and you have a combination that no other full-size can equal.

 

 

 
 

The Most Fuel-Efficient Full-Size - Period

It's everything you expect from a Chevrolet full-size pickup. With VortecTM V8 power that generates 332 horsepower and 367 lb-ft of torque. With a towing capacity that goes up to 2,767 kg (6,100 lb). What is unexpected is the amazing fuel efficiency numbers, including the kind of city rating you may expect from a V6-powered mid-size sedan: 10.1 L/100 km.2 That helps Silverado Hybrid earn the best overall fuel efficiency of any full-size pickup in Canada. How is this possible? It's all thanks to the sophisticated Two-Mode Hybrid System that can run on a combination of VortecTM 6.0L LIVC V8 VVT gasoline power and electric power generated by GM's Hybrid Propulsion System - or each on its own. Another example of Chevrolet innovation hard at work.

Strongest Where It's Needed Most

Different sections of a pickup require different levels of support. That's why Silverado's frame uses a three-piece modular configuration. It provides the most support under the front suspension and powertrain, with a hydroformed, fully boxed section. The key is to provide exceptional torsional rigidity without adding unnecessary weight. So you get the best of both worlds, with payloads up to 880 kg (1,940 lb) as well as the fuel efficiency savings that accompany reduced overall weight. The rigidity also contributes to Silverado's renowned smooth, quiet ride.

 

 

 

Even More Control

The list of standard driver control technologies continues to expand. So on top of ABS, the iStabiliTrak® electronic stability control system with Proactive Roll Avoidance, dynamic rear proportioning (DRP), traction control and Trailer Sway Control there's Hill Hold Assist - new for 2012. It holds the truck in position for about a second after you release the brake on a five percent or greater incline. The centrepiece, though, continues to be StabiliTrak® - it intervenes automatically whenever it detects a loss of lateral traction (sideslip), understeer (plowing) or oversteer. You're in full control in Silverado.
