Chevrolet Silverado 1500
For the most part, the North American market is dominated by three pickups: the Ford F-150, Dodge Ram and Chevrolet Silverado (and its clone, the GMC Sierra). The Silverado is offered as the 1500 while the Silverado HD comes as the 2500 and 3500. There’s even a hybrid version! Like any self-respecting American pickup, it gives buyers a plethora of drivetrain, interior configuration and box length choices. There’s something for all tastes and budgets!
