2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500



Whether or not you recognize trucks or not, the Chevrolet Silverado is probably going a well-recognized car; in an enormous swath of variations, it is the instrument of selection for individuals who must get issues done. From sport trucks to hybrids, and up off-highway rigs and heavy-responsibility fashions, the Silverado 1500 still stacks up well against rivals-it doesn't matter what the priority.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 lineup; it still takes on the Ford F-a hundred and fifty, Ram 1500, and the intently associated GMC Sierra 1500. Chevy's full-measurement trucks are available in a type to suit almost each doable sort of truck user, from boot-carrying Texas hipsters to tie-carrying urban industrial architects-and every thing in between. Buyers can decide into considered one of three physique kinds, and one of two interior designs; from among four gas engines and two automatic transmissions, or one fuel-electric drivetrain; and from mattress lengths ranging from the smallest 5'-eight" mattress on Crew Cabs and Hybrids, to the 6-6" bed on all versions save for the Hybrid, to the 8' mattress offered on all versions except the Hybrid.

The powertrains offered in the Silverado are nonetheless competitive-aside from the base 195-horsepower, 4.three-liter V-6, which we'd solely suggest to fleet buyers. A flex-gas 5.3-liter V-eight with 315 hp comes in more mainstream variations, and it's outfitted with fuel-saving cylinder deactivation in some models; and on the high quality, a 6.2-liter, 403-hp, flex-gas V-8 within the Silverado LTZ.

The Silverado Hybrid is quite completely different from the opposite Silverado models, thanks to a two-mode hybrid powertrain that pairs an aluminum-alloy 6.zero-liter V-eight with cylinder deactivation and variable valve timing, to an electrically variable transmission (EVT) with four fixed-ratio gears and two electric motor/mills, as well as a nickel-metallic-hydride 300-volt battery pack. The lavish, upgraded cabin supplies of the 2013 Dodge Ram vans are going to be powerful to beat, but the Silverado's cabin does well with the fundamentals. Front area is ample, and though the bucket seats might be extra supportive for longer trips, we might nonetheless opt for them over the flat front bench for personal use.
