The Car Guide rating 73%(view ratings)
As Chevrolet’s full-size pickup, the Silverado 1500 shares a number of components and features with the GMC Sierra 1500. There is plenty of choice when it comes to engines, with a turbocharged four-cylinder, a pair of naturally aspirated V8 units, as well as an inline six-cylinder turbo-diesel that delivers some of the best torque in the segment (460 lb-ft.). The Silverado lineup now also includes a rugged ZR2 model designed for off-road driving.
