Pickup trucks have always been the vehicle of choice by many Americans. Among the respected pickup trucks would be the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 known for its impressive reliability and longevity. In its very essence, it is a dependable workhorse that brings confidence to its users.

The current generation Chevrolet Silverado 1500 also seems set to outdo its predecessors. Available with a wide variety of body design, powertrains and trims, the modern day Silverado is no longer just a reliable workhorse but a statement of style without diminishing its practicality.

Powertrain variations of the Silverado include a pretty decent 4.3-liter 195-horsepower V6 to a more powerful 6.0-liter 367-horsepower V8. Most Silverados however will be fitted with the middle of the road setups of the 4.8-liter 295-hp V8 up to the 5.3-liter 315-hp V8.

Buyers may also choose from a rear-wheel or a four wheel drive version.

All Silverados will be fitted by the standard four speed automatic transmission gearbox.
