Why Chevrolet Spin Phase Out

2019 Chevrolet Traverse Review: A Roomy 3-Row Family SUV

Edmunds:

SPEAKER 1: We've
been talking a lot
about vehicles that are good for
families with young children.
The Honda Pilot comes
to mind is one that's
particularly baby friendly.
But kids grow up, and
families with teens
have different car needs.
The 2019 Chevy Traverse
promises cargo space and a more
grown up approach
to the midsize SUV.
Will it do its chores without
being reminded seven times?
Let's find out.
First, a very
important question.
Does it do a burnout?

No.
A little bit.
All right.
The Traverse does a burnout
if you start on gravel.
Today's midsize SUV as are like
minivans in flannel shirts--
they're trying to
look more macho.
The Traverse was
redesigned in 2018,
and I think Chevy
did a good job.
It's boxy, kind of
aggressive, but not boring.
I recently reviewed
the Kia Sorento,
and in the comments
on that video,
I got scolded by Kia
Sorento for saying
that the Kia wasn't sporty.
That made me realize, OK,
sportiness is subjective.
I mean, it all depends on
what you were driving before.
So OK, mid-sized SUVs are
sporty in the same way
that bowling is sporty.
And now, you can all be mad
at me for dissing bowling.
But what I mean is it's not the
same as a Miata or a Corvette.
It's specifically designed
to be a softer ride,
and to be more gentle and quiet.
To me, that's not sporty.

That said, the Traverse has
a pretty zippy 3.6 liter
V8, making 310
horsepower, and backed
by a nine speed
automatic transmission.
It has noticeably
more passing power
than most of the
crossovers I've been in.
It's good the V6 is
such a solid engine,
because there really
aren't any others
that you can choose from.
Well, that's not true.
There is the RS trim, which
comes with a turbo charged
four cylinder, and it gets a
little bit better gas mileage.
But honestly, the V6
gets 20 miles per gallon,
and that's right on par with the
rest of the SUVs in this class.

On the highway around town, the
Traverse has an excellent ride.
It's very comfortable,
it's very predictable.
And it's very quiet.
For more spirit and driving like
on this curvy mountain road,
well, it's not the car
I would choose for fun,
but I feel perfectly safe.
Like I said, this
isn't what it's for.

Safety is obviously
a major consideration
when you're buying a vehicle to
haul your whole family around
in.
This Traverse, the High Country,
has everything you'd need.
Lane change assist,
and lane keep assist,
and pedestrian warning,
emergency braking,
adaptive cruise control.
All the things, but you
can't even option them up
on the lower trim models.
And I think when a lot of
the competitors like Honda
and Toyota and Kia are
offering that stuff as standard
all the way up and
down the trim levels,
Chevy ought to get
with the program.
Stop being so stingy.

The Traverse isn't
intended to be primarily
an off road or tow vehicle,
but it's capable of both
if you option for the all
wheel drive and tow package.
The controls for that
are in this mode dial
down here by the shifter.
And you can go two wheel drive,
all wheel drive, the off road
setting, and a
tow setting, which
I think changes shift points.
The dial is a different
approach to all wheel drive
than some of the competitors in
this sort of front wheel drive
midsize segment,
because usually, they
do it as a sort of
automatic all wheel drive.
Like, it just senses
if there's wheel slip,
and moves from front wheel
drive to all wheel drive
for as long as you need it.
But Chevy has sort of giving
you more control as the driver.

We tend to talk about
the infotainment systems
in these reviews while we're
parked, which is fine if you
think ahead, and are ready.
But a lot of times,
you're on the road,
and then you're like, oh
crap, did I plug my phone in.
And I don't want to
listen to this anymore.
And it's always
interesting to see
how hard it is to
figure out these systems
while you're driving, which
I guess you're not really
supposed to be doing, but
you know that you are.
Anyhow, it's easy
to plug a phone in.
It doesn't matter which
USB you plug into.
Apple CarPlay or Android Auto
will work from either one.
And everything in the screen
is reachable and visible
while you're driving
without having to look away
from the road for very long.
The steering wheel controls
aren't quite as easy.
I don't like the adaptive
cruise control at all.
I can barely figure
out how to turn it on
and I have a hard time
knowing when it's on.
It just doesn't show
very much in the dash.
It's great that the Traverse is
so big and roomy on the inside,
but it's also very
big on the outside.
And with some pretty
substantial blind spots,
that can make
parking intimidating.
Luckily, there's some
tech that makes it easier.
There's a rear view camera,
and a 360 degree camera
so you can see everything
that surrounds you.
There's also a pretty
nifty little camera here
in the rear view.
Mirror and rear sensor
to tell you when
you're getting close to stuff.
Let's see how it works.
Going backwards in
a straight line,
not going to hit anything today.

Parked.
Success.
OK, so Traverse is great
at backing into spots.
But what about
pulling into a spot?
You know, it's got
a pretty long hood,
and I can't really
see the end of it.
I can still use the
camera, that's great.

No parking sensors in the front?
What the what?

Earlier, I said
that the Traverse
was a really good choice for
parents with teenage children.
One of the reasons I said that
is the Traverse has something
called Teen Driver,
a monitoring system
for when your kid takes the car.
It's not like valet mode,
where it limits them
to first gear or 30 miles an
hour or something like that.
I mean, you can drive normally.
But it gives a report card at
the end that you can go over
with your kid, and talk about,
Oh, what was their top speed,
and did any of the
traction aides come on.
Was there any emergency braking.
And so it can kind
of help you help
them to improve their
driving without you
having to be in the car.
Oh, it also prevents them
from turning on the radio
until their seatbelts are on.

The Traverse has a
tough guy exterior,
but inside, it's
surprisingly soft.
The steering wheel
is pretty squishy,
it has a lot of leather
trim on most of the spots
that you're going to touch.
And overall, it's
pretty luxurious.
Now bear in mind, we're
in the High Country
trim, which is the top
of the line Traverse.
So as you go down
in the trim levels,
you won't have all
of this luxury.
Traverse come standard with
a seven inch touchscreen,
and we have the optional
eight inch here.
There are plenty of storage
cubbies and a nice big console.
And so many options
for charging a phone.
From front to back, I
counted 10 different ways
that you could plug-in and
charge a phone, or a tablet,
or something similar.
And that's including USB
ports 12 volts AC adapter.
There's even a hidden charging
spot behind the screen in case
you're a spy, and you have
like, a secret burner phone
or something.
I don't know.
The point is, there
are enough spots
for everyone in the car to
charge their phones and then
some.
Noticing all the
places to charge
your phone was sort of
what made me think, man,
this would be a
really good vehicle
for somebody with teenagers.
Because you know, little kids
might use the dropdown screen
or whatever, but big kids tend
to bring their entertainment
with them.
And I just feel like Chevy
is thinking about that.
You know, they have
a lot of leg room,
and there's a lot
of charging spots.
And there's sort of
a lot of privacy.
Like, they could sit all the
way in the back and sort of feel
like they weren't stuck
right up with mom and dad.
There's plenty of room in
the front of the Traverse.
There's a lot of space between
the driver and the passenger,
and between the
driver and the door.
The seats however, are
a little bit narrow.
And there's actually
a big gap here.
And if you are broader,
you might feel a little bit
cramped.
They're also very firm.
Which is fine.
Some people like a firm seat.
Me, if I'm driving in
a big SUV, I kind of
want to feel like I'm
in a barcalounger.
So I wouldn't mind if
they were a little softer.
They are heated though,
and that makes up for it.
One thing Chevy did really
well in the Traverses
give it this bright
airy feeling.
It's really nice and light
all the way from the front
to the back of the car.
I hate it when you
get into these SUV
and it's just all
black plastic and you
feel like you're in sort of
a terrible cave of misery.
The Traverse doesn't
feel like that.
It's really bright.
Some of that might be
from the twin sunroof
on this car, which is
standard on the High Country,
but you can option it on
some of the lower levels.
Hurray for second rows
with plenty of space.
There's foot room, there's knee
room, there's plenty of room
all around you.
It's nice back here.
Especially when you option
up to the captain's chairs.
Feel pretty important.
My same complaints
about the front seats
apply to the back seats
in that they aren't plush,
they're a little bit firm.
But they're totally comfortable.
I'd be happy to sit back here.
The best thing about the second
and third rows in the Traverse
is how easy it is to get
from one to the other.
I mean, you can just walk there,
like it's a freaking airplane.
Or if you're getting
in from outside,
the passenger seat
tilts forward.
You can even do it with
a child seat in there
and it's not a problem
there's plenty of space
to get into the back row.
Take the baby out first.
I've been in second rows
that don't have as much room
as the third row
in the Traverse.
I mean, it's pretty
great back here.
Plus, it has all of the
creature comforts-- cup holders,
USB ports, a vent
for climate control.
I mean, I wouldn't want to
be the kid in the middle
here on a long road trip, but
for around town, totally fine.
With 23 cubic feet
behind the third row,
and 98 cubic feet with
it down, plus the ability
to have just part of it
down the Traverse winds
the cargo space awards
offering more room
than the Honda Pilot, Toyota
Highlander, or Ford Explorer.
Bonus points for how easy it is
to put the seats down and bring
them up again.
Bonus, bonus points for bonus
storage under the floor.

Obviously, I don't play the
cello, but maybe your kid does.
Or maybe you find and refinish
antiques on the weekend.
Whether it's for your growing
family or your outsize hobbies,
the Chevy Traverse is
big on interior space.
It's not just big, it's useful.
And isn't that the whole
point of a midsize SUV?

2018 Chevrolet Traverse - Review and Road Test

Kelley Blue Book:

the second generation Chevrolet Traverse
it's a three row midsize SUV that we
really like propelling our positive
vibes is a deeply functional interior
let's start somewhere boring door
storage the front rear doors are loaded
with bins and nooks galore though I'm
not quite sure what defines a bin versus
a nook beyond the aforementioned door
nooks smaller items can be stowed in the
sizeable center console in this spot
below the second row climate controls or
in a handy USB adjacent bin beneath the
center stack aside from slight pressure
in the upper back region the front seats
are superbly comfortable and as the
driver you'll enjoy a highly
customizable driving position supported
by well-placed arm rests just know drive
like a maniac and you'll wish for more
lateral support Headroom is
unsurprisingly excellent up front but
that excellence extends rearward as well
Tim is six foot something and look his
head is not mashed against the headliner
nobody cares also he's British and too
polite to complain about legroom so I'm
going to proactively slide and angle my
seats slightly forward. Thank you. Sorry I was uncomfortable. It's fine.
with less diplomatic occupants rear-seat
nice space could be tight but as
consolation third row dwellers are
gifted a wealth of cupholders decent
foot space under the second row and two
USB outlets on that note the Traverse
comes with USB ports in all three rows
that plus an optional three prong outlet
means well-charged devices ensuring your
family never has to, you know, speak
where material quality is concerned the
Traverse leaves room for its Buick
Enclave sibling to fancy things up even
so GM's mainstream offering incorporates
some soft materials and in many places
uses a soft coating to spruce up hard
plastics in other places it doesn't with
the second and third row stowed Traverse
owners have a substantial ninety eight
point two cubic feet to fill raised
those seats and twenty three cubic feet
of dedicated cargo space remains
supplemented by an additional 3.2 cubic
foot underfloor storage hold while
prattling on about the traverses many
fine qualities we should reserve time to
talk about how it drives and how it
drives is lovely the suspension
skillfully absorbs bumps while keeping
the chassis in check when cornering and
when you pick up the pace interior noise
is mostly quashed except for some
whistling in this region, which you would
hear if I didn't have to stop for that
stoplight
the man says I have to stop
providing propulsion is a mighty 3.6
liter v6 that tows up to 5,000 pounds
and moves the Traverse with real
authority when asked maybe more
impressive is the standard 9 speed
automatic it's a shining star of a
transmission that delivers virtually
seamless transparent shifts and when you
introduce the accelerator to the carpet
acceleration and downshifts occur without
delay for its size the Traverse is
fairly efficient aided by an
inconspicuous but undefeatable automatic
engine start/stop system that saves fuel
when the vehicle is motionless if you
don't mind giving up a few mpg the
optional all-wheel drive system adds
traction inslippery conditions a
turbocharged four-cylinder engine is
also available but only in the sporty
Traverse RS producing less horsepower
more torque and better city fuel economy
than the v6 the real trick with a
relatively large SUV is to hide its
girth the Traverse does just that with
light and easy steering and a tight
turning circle that make it a confident
parking tool parked on the flipside
visibility over your right shoulder is
terrible especially since depending on
where the seats are the right second row
headrest completely blocks the side
window in my experience if you can see
what's in the adjacent Lane lane changes
are less stressful
helping address those visibility
concerns our higher trim features like
blind spot monitoring a 360 degree
camera system rear cross-traffic alert
and rear but not front parking sensors
rounding out the option roster are
indulgences like wireless phone charging
a hands-free tailgate heated and
ventilated front seats leather and a
heated steering wheel choose the fancy
high country trim with its power folding
seats and traction enhancing dual clutch
rear differential and you can spend
nearly fifty three thousand dollars it's
worth mentioning that adaptive cruise
control is only offered on the high
country trim while many competitive SUVs
offer similar technology at a lower
price point and if you need eight seats
you're stuck with the low end L & LS
trims as higher Traverse trims only come
with seven in basic not quite $31,000
form the Traverse comes surprisingly
well equipped with keyless entry and
push-button start three-zone automatic
climate control a wide-angle backup
camera a smart slide 2nd row seat for
easy third row access and 7 airbags
including a center airbag that deploys
from the inboard side of the driver's
seat the standard infotainment system is
a 7-inch unit featuring apple carplay
and android auto but buyers can also
upgrade to an 8 inch system with a
lockable storage area behind the screen
hiding the traverses elusive seventh USB
port either way the screen is decently
sized placed within reach and the menus
are a cinch to navigate while shopping 3
row midsize SUVs it's always smart to
investigate the alternatives some
standouts include the roomy VW Atlas
the practical Toyota Highlander the
thoughtfully crafted Honda Pilot and the
strong selling Ford Explorer
pleasant to drive and
competitively-priced with lots of cargo
space and room for up to 8 passengers
the Chevrolet Traverse is fantastically
suited for family duty despite some
formidable competition the Traverse is a
midsize SUV that deserves your attention

Is the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado the Best Silverado Ever? | First Drive | Edmunds

Edmunds:

TRAVIS LANGNESS:
Welcome to Wyoming.
I'm Travis Langness
for Edmunds.com,
and this is the all-new
2019 Chevrolet Silverado.
Basically, it's redesigned from
the ground up, from the frame,
to the body, to the powertrains.
It's bigger.
It's longer.
It's wider.
But we want to know if it's
the best Silverado Chevy's ever
made, so we're going to
take it out for a drive.

So we're in the
mountains in Wyoming
and we're driving around
in the new Silverado 1500.
And really, this feels
like an updated Silverado.
It doesn't feel
completely redesigned.
It feels really familiar.
So what's changed
about the Silverado?
The frame is built using
different materials.
It's a longer wheelbase.
It's longer from nose to
tail by almost two inches.
Pretty much all of the towing
improvements across the board
for the Silverado
come from the fact
that the truck is
450 pounds lighter
than the previous generation.
Now, that's coming
from differences
in steel, the aluminum hood,
aluminum tailgate, aluminum
doors, differences in
the strength of steel
in the chassis.
They took 80 pounds out
of the frame, another
80 pounds out of the
bed of the truck,
so instead of one
stamping, they've
used three different
pieces, which
also makes the bed of the truck
as much as seven inches wider
in the bed.
And also, you're looking
at the first up and down
power tailgate in
any full-size truck.
Kind of a no-brainer
on trucks these days.
Everybody's using a
power lift gate in SUVs.
Why haven't we
done it on a truck?
Under the hood is
the 5.3 liter V8.
Now, people from the last
generation Silverado,
if you own one of those, you'll
think, oh, so same engine.
Well, yes and no.
There is a 5.3 available with
the old six-speed automatic
transmission, but
the one we're driving
has the new
eight-speed automatic.
And it's the updated version
of that 5.3 liter V8.
So basically, what you get is
a different fuel management
system that Chevy says
will increase fuel economy.
And it-- for my
butt [? dyno-- ?]
hasn't changed the way the truck
drives much, which is good.
Gives you good power uphill,
gives you a good burst
as you're going
to pass somebody.
But what has changed
with the eight-speed
is it's quiet in here.
There's several
other power trains.
So you can get a diesel.
You can get the base V6.
You can get this V8 or
the six-speed transmission
with the older version of the
V8, different fuel management.
And you can get the 6.2 liter,
as well as that turbo four
cylinder.
If you don't need as much
towing or hauling capability,
that turbo four cylinder,
that may be the motor for you.
For me, I'd probably go
with the 5.3 or the 6.2.
They feel a little bit better,
have a little bit more thrust.
We don't have the
optional 22-inch wheels
on this truck, which
is absolutely something
I would avoid, because with
the standard wheel and tire
package, ride comfort's
great in this.
These seats are not the
high-end leather seats.
They're cloth, and
they feel great.
Going up a mountain road,
they feel just fine.
The split heating
function works great.
And really, if you're going to
go on a 1600 mile road trip,
tow a trailer, and take
your family on vacation,
this is an easy place to do it.
Also, this center
console comes up.
Take it up real quick, so
you can have a third person
up front sitting here.
Chevy did say that
the drag has changed.
As their dynamics
have gotten better,
drag has decreased with
the front end redesign.
And that's a small marginal
increase in fuel economy,
along with what will probably
be marginal increases
from the eight-speed automatic.
This one is, I believe,
19 MPG combined
with the 5.3 and
the eight-speed.
Along these roads-- they're
not perfect, obviously,
these aren't highly maintained
city roads-- the Silverado
feels really good.
It's not a bouncy ride quality.
Big sharp impacts aren't
really making their way
into the cabin.
Everything feels pretty
well-insulated from underneath,
especially when you've
got a good amount of tire
sidewall, which this truck has.
There's not a lot of body roll.
If you're worried about ride
quality on a pickup truck,
this one is doing just fine.

So this is the interior
of the new Silverado.
It's not so much a redesign
as much as it is an evolution.
For starters, we'll go with
this big monolith of a center
console.
This is just one giant piece.
It's not as high-content
as it could be.
We're in kind of a mid
trim level, something
that's a little bit
more typical for buyers.
And basically, you've got
auto stop start function.
You can put the
tailgate down here.
Traction control.
A nice little button that
puts all four windows down
at the same time.
There's a couple
of buttons missing.
There are some things that we
could have on this interior.
There's no plug here, but
on the higher trim levels
you do get that full
three-prong plug.
We've got one
USBC, one USB port.
It's got Apple
CarPlay, Android Auto.
And it's got a really
crisp look to it.
This one is the same size
as the previous generation,
but it's a little
bit nicer looking.
It's a little bit crisper.
Graphics, it's
really easy to read.
You've got the swipe from
one side, swipe to the other.
You can control most of
the stuff happening here.
The steering wheel
is much the same.
The TFT, the center
driver display here,
is a little bit better,
and everything is easier
to see at a moment's
glance when you're
looking down from the road.
Super helpful when
you're towing or hauling
and you just want to
spot your temperature
or spot your oil pressure.
It's definitely a good display.
And then Chevy has moved
over here some of the stuff
that you use for towing,
to the left of the driver.
There's a little
toggle here that you
can change between
sport mode or they've
got a little dynamic
racecar flag, and tow mode--
changes the shift
schedules, things like that.
Then you've got the
selector between
two-wheel and four-wheel drive.
You've got the terrain
selector to tell the truck
if you want hill descent control
if you're on rock or sand.
Then you've got the
controls for the lights,
and most of the
stuff over there.
And pretty much,
this is what you
get inside the interior
of all the Silverados,
and it's a really
intuitive layout.
It's not fancy.
It's a lot of new stuff, but not
a completely different design
that you have to get
used to something new.
Now, with that said,
this mid-level content
does have some plastic
materials that aren't awesome,
but really the touch points,
those things are good.
They feel sturdy.
One of the nice things
that GM has, Chevy as well,
is these split
level seat heating.
So you can heat just your back,
or your back and your butt.
Heating just your back is
perfect for long road trips.
Anybody with back pain
should demand this feature
be put in every car.
It makes the seating so
much more comfortable.
It's fantastic.
Overall, this interior
is a likeable place,
and definitely somewhere
I can see myself sitting
for a long time on a road trip.
So now we're in the
backseat of the Silverado
and it's huge back here.
There is an additional three
inches of rear leg room.
The truck itself is only 1.7
inches longer, nose to tail,
but they put a lot of that,
and then some, into the rear.
So four adults can sit totally
comfortably, probably a fifth,
maybe even a sixth when
you get that third seat up
in the front.
But if you've got
four six-footers,
there's tons of space
back here for everybody.
And it's pretty simple,
pretty standard back here.
A couple of USB ports, couple
of vents, which is nice.
Keeps the air flowing back here.
These seats are similarly firm
to the center seat up front.
But it's a 60/40
split back here.
And it's really easy
to fold these up.
So this one just
quick up, quick down.
There's no straps to pull on.
No handles.
And then also, there's some
pretty cool features back here.
This is typical, the center
console with the cup holders,
not new in any way.
But then this side seat
opens up and you have access
to behind the seat.
And the seat materials are
similarly nice to the front,
that same checkerboard pattern.
Pretty flat across the
bottom and the back.
There's not a lot of
bolstering back here,
but the cushioning is good.
This angle's not too bad.
It'd be nice if it were a
little bit further slanted back,
but it's decent for a road trip.

So we've spent all day driving
the new 2019 Silverado.
And basically, what
we've discovered
is that Chevy has taken a good
product and made it better.
This new truck is more capable.
It's more quiet on the inside.
There's more space
in the back seat.
You can tow more.
And there's that
wide array of engines
that we talked about,
which will make
it more economical and better
towing in the long run.
It generally feels
like a good refresh,
but they've added some
good updates to it.
But if you're
asking the question
is it the best Silverado that
Chevy has ever made, well sure,
but only by a small margin.

2019 Chevrolet Silverado Review and First Drive — Cars.com

Cars.com:

we're here in some of the most beautiful
parts of the country the Idaho Wyoming
border where we've had our first chance
to get behind the wheel of the 2019
silverado half-ton now there's a lot to
talk about with this truck but we're
gonna try to keep it focused I'm going
to talk about the interior the bed our
off-road impressions how it tows and
what it feels like on the highway inside
the Chevy trail bus is e71
it's got the cloth interior the new
redesign Center stack which is closer to
the driver and passenger to control the
nav system and any AC functions it's got
a nine switch line up here depending on
what features you have and also the
four-wheel drive system is now in the
upper left-hand corner both with the tow
haul mode and a sport mode and
thankfully they've put the trailer brake
controller down here and easy access
here at the right hand but it also has a
huge center console whether you have the
storage bin here in front or whether you
have the middle seat that pops up with a
hidden storage underneath the seat you
still have tons of room inside for any
of your personal gear here at the back
we love the dual exhausts they've also
redesigned the bumper steps to make it
easier to access the bed itself here on
the tailgate push button electronic drop
and also on some trim packages all it
takes is a push of the knee and it
automatically closes all by itself but
the bed itself has some of the most
interesting features we've seen in a
pickup bed in a long time on the floor
cold rolled steel for strength also the
walls the walls themselves are made of a
high-strength steel so this is probably
some of the strongest beds in the
half-ton segment also 12 different
tie-down points each 500 pound capacity
on every pickup truck with nine other
exterior holes to give you a total of 21
different holes that you can have for
tie-downs to keep your cargo safe but
the feature we like the most
the optional 120 volt 3 prong plug
right here in the bed on the off-road
course the trail boss is z71 was
impressive there's no other way to
explain it this vehicle has a 2-inch
suspension lift makes room for bigger
wheels and tires more aggressive treads
the Goodyear Wranglers but also has
monotube Rancho shocks very good for
this kind of obstacle course that we had
created here by Chevy for us we had a
log run we had a hill climb over some
loose dirt rock we also had a
rock-strewn area very similar to a
Rubicon Trail and then we also had a big
mud pit that we were able to get up some
speed and do some very nasty splashing
but this vehicle does very well it's
going to compete very well with other
off-road packages it's not a Ford Raptor
but it's a very impressive
when it comes to trailering Chevy is
really upping their game in fact they've
created for this new half-ton Silverado
they've created what's called the
advanced trailering package which is the
combination of integrated cameras along
with a lot of accessible information
they haven't loaded right into the nav
screen that they can get any time they
can program different types of trailers
that they're going to be using and they
can keep track of the fuel economy and
different connections around the truck
in fact you can even check from the
driver's seat whether or not all the
lights on your trailer and your vehicle
your tow vehicle are all working at the
same time now the connections here
accommodate a fourth camera it has to be
hardwired but it can provide you with a
view off the back end of the trailer so
when you pop it into reverse you know
exactly what's behind you when you're
trailering now we had a chance to take
this trailer a 6,000 pound cargo trailer
out on the road and we have to say that
this is a very comfortable and confident
vehicle to tow with
6,000 pounds isn't your normal weight in
fact that's probably more than 90% of
people are going to be towing with their
half-ton pickup truck but we can say
with the suspension changes and also
this technology advancement with this
trailer package this is probably one of
the best trailer packages we've had a
chance to derive so we're out of the mud
we've disconnected the trailer we're
back on the highway so this is just two
lane road where it's 6,000 feet so the
powertrain feels a little underpowered
but that's okay because there's a lot of
horsepower in both the 5 3 or the 6-2 v8
engines that are available for this new
Silverado on the road very composed this
is probably the single biggest
improvement not that the last half-ton
Silverado was bad but this one is so
much better it's almost difficult to
even compare the two very composed
especially into hard corners it's a
wonderful little switch that puts a
little racing flag up on the information
- that
to know you're in sport mode you get a
little tighter feel to the steering
wheel little quicker response on the
throttle and this thing just stays
hugged to the ground we're in the trail
boss so that means we're a little higher
because of the suspension lift but
there's nothing about this vehicle that
feels tippy or you know out of sorts
whether we're pushing it we've pushed it
a few times around some corners it
absorbs every kind of corner that we
could throw at it no matter what the
speed is that we're going into that
corner so I mean overall this is a very
impressive feel on two-lane highways it
seems like almost any of the trim
package combinations are very versatile
doing moderately well if they're
four-wheel drive but also doing very
very well if you want to get a little
more enthusiastic on pavement what's our
biggest takeaway from our time behind
the wheel of the 2019 silverado half-ton
is how far they've come now we love the
classics but this new half-ton pickup
truck looks like it could be a game
changer for Chevy and we love the fact
that they're requiring on every single
vehicle and this isn't a government
mandate but every single vehicle on the
door jamb lets the owner of that
specific truck know exactly what the
maximum trailer capacity is and maximum
payload capacity is for each truck
that's about safety and we like that for
more information about this truck go to
pickup trucks calm

2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country Review (2015 Version) - Nexccelerator

Nexccelerator:

Hello everyone, and Happy New Year.
I'm Michael Land, and welcome to another episode,
of Nexccelerator.
And the vehicle that I'm sitting in right
now, is in the all-new redesigned
2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.
And the Silverado was redesigned to not only
give itself both a brand new look,
but to also give itself a more competitive
edge in the full-size truck market.
But, does the all new Silverado have what
it takes to be
very a competitive full size truck, against
the similar offerings that are out there,
such as the all new redesigned
Toyota Tundra?
Well let's have some fun, and figure that
out.
Now like I've said, this is the all new redesigned
2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.
However, this particular version, is the newly
introduced High Country Edition
trim-line of this vehicle.
So taking a look at the exterior of this luxurious
truck,
the Silverado doesn't only contain Halogen
Projector Beamed Headlights,
but it also has Fog lights that give it both
a fancy and contemporary
appearence.
But also looking at the left, right, and top
sides, that same look
that was just now revealed is carried on over
through the remainder of the truck.
Also along with that, there are two powered
heated side mirrors equipped,
with one turn signal indicator a piece on
each side.
Now looking at the back of the Silverado,
there's a single exhaust system
equipped with the tailpipe being located on
the right side.
On a side note, the back of the Silverado
has a trailer hitch in where you're able
to hook up a ball mount hitch and trailers
that have either a 7-pin or 4-pin
connector respectfully.
In addition, the pickup features four rear
parking sensors, with two on the left,
and two on the right, alongside with the other
four front parking sensors that you saw
earlier, which adds up for a total of eight.
Also, the truck even comes with two rear mounted
bumper steps, with one being on the left
and the other on the right, that gives the
benefit of a doubt to make the ease-of-access
of tying stuff down a breeze.
As for the taillights however, they don't
only fit extremely well, but they also
give an awesome compliment to the rest of
the fancy exterior of this vehicle.
Getting to the truck bed of the Silverado,
the newly-introduced
EZ Lift tailgate drops down very softly. Not
to mention that it does also
offer plenty of flexible hauling capabilities
that would easily handle any
kind of load.
On a side note, this particular Silverado
also comes equipped with the optional
integrated LED lighting system, in case if
you needed assistance on seeing
better on where to best place the tie down's
to secure your load successfully.
Now located underneath bed of the truck is
where you'll discover the Silverado's
spare tire.
In addition, the necessary parts to install
the spare tire are conveniently located
behind the rear seats for easy access.
Plus, there's also an individual spare tire
access compartment located on the right
side, next to the license plate holder, that
allows for easy access to remove the
tire from underneath the truck, which makes
it a piece of cake.
Also, if you want more cargo capacity in the
Silverado, you can easily fold the
bottom portion of both of the back seats up
to make that a reality, if you wish.
So opening the door to the Silverado, it has
a brown leather interior,
with both a 6 way driver and 6 way front passenger
seat, all with power adjustments.
On a side note, both of the driver and front
passenger headrests also feature
a special leather stitched High Country logo
to give the interior a look that's
both inviting and unique.
Now one way to start the engine of this Silverado
is by taking the key fob that you
see me holding up in my hand, hit the lock
button, then press and hold down the
clockwise arrow button once to start it up,
in which I'm about to demonstrate
right now.
As you just now witnessed, the Silverado immediately
starts right up
like a pro without any kind of mechanical
issues at all, even when the outside
temperature is at 50 degrees Fahrenheit as
you're seeing right now on your screen.
In addition, to turn the engine off, just
gently press the
clockwise arrow button once, and it'll shut
itself down instantly.
Also, another way to start it up, is to take
the black Chevrolet ignition key that you
see me holding up in my hand. Then immediately
afterwards, put the key inside the
ignition, and turn it clockwise to bring the
engine to life.
Now getting to the engine area of the Silverado,
it isn't only well laid out, but
it's also easily accessible as well, in which
I'll touch up more on that here very shortly.
But focusing on the power-plant offering,
the Silverado has a 5.3 Liter, 355hp,
EcoTec3 V8 engine that punches out 383 pound
ft of torque @ 4100 rpm.
In addition, this 5.3 Liter Ecotec3 V8 engine
is just one out of the three newly
introduced engine choices for all the new
Silverado. Not only the engine come's
equipped with direct injection for better
combustion enhancement, but it even
has active fuel management technology in where
it increases the fuel efficiency
whenever less engine horsepower is needed.
With that you get a suitable 16 mpg in the
city and 22 on the highway.
But with the EPA combination, you get a well-rounded
18 mpg
overall, which is indeed an outstanding accomplishment
for a full size pickup.
Now focusing on the different parts of the
engine area, the battery compartment
is located on the back left side, while the
radiator is located directly right
next to it on the middle left side, with the
Air Intake system placed alongside it,
on the front left side.
However, both the oil and oil dipstick are
located right next to the engine, while
the brake fluid compartment is conveniently
located next to both the oil and oil
dipstick, on the middle right side.
Also, the windshield washer fluid compartment
is conveniently located diagonally
across from the brake fluid compartment, on
the front right side.
So now taking a look at the interior of the
all new Silverado, besides having
the brown leather interior seats that I mentioned
earlier,
it doesn't only have an inspired western-theme
to it, but it also manages
to keep things really simple also, in which
I'll get into more on that here
in just a little bit.
Now the type of steering wheel that this particular
Silverado has, is a four spoke
leather wrapped steering wheel with a light
tan colored contrast stitching going
across all over it that also includes additional
controls on both the left
and right middle portions.
Now located on the left side of the steering
wheel is where you'll find both the
turn signal indicator and the windshield wiper
controls.
However, other additional controls such as
the trailer brake adjustment,
4 wheel drive system, and headlight controls
are all conveniently located on the
left side, right next to the steering wheel.
Also, the emergency hazard indicator is located
behind the steering wheel,
for additional convenience.
Now to be able to adjust the steering wheel,
such as moving it forward or away
from you, just easily push the lever, which
is labeled #1 on the driver's manual,
down and adjust it to where it's comfortable
for you.
Then when you're finished, lift it up to lock
it in place.
In addition, to move the steering wheel up
or down, pull and release the lever
that's labeled #2 that you saw in the previous
photograph, and adjust it to where
it'll be easy to use. Then when you're satisfied
with the height adjustment, let
the lever go to have it locked in place.
Now the transmission equipped on the Silverado
is a 6 speed, column mounted styled,
automatic transmission, with both
a tow-haul mode as well as manual
shift ability in where the shifting buttons
are easily located on the gear
shifter itself, along with the Electronic
E-brake being located on the bottom
left corner of the driver's side.
Also, the truck even comes with an integrated
backup camera, providing
easy-to-see distance lines that also turn
along with the steering wheel
at the same time, making the task of backing
up really simple as much as possible.
Proceeding on over to the middle area of the
Silverado, it offers multiple and
beneficial flexibilities, such as 3 USB Ports,
2 12V Power-outlets,
and 1 household A/C outlet.
Now located right above those plug-ins that
I just now mentioned,
are the controls for the pedal adjustment,
traction control, LED Cargo Lights,
Front and Rear Parking Sensors, and the Lane
Departure Warning System in where
the driver's seat would vibrate if you were
to drift off into another lane
without using the turn signal indicator.
In addition, the air conditioning controls
are located above the recently
mentioned switches, that feature heated and
cooled seat controls for both the
driver and front passenger.
Also, the Chevrolet MyLink system is located
right above the air conditioning controls.
Equipped with that are 6 Bose speakers, with
the first one being located
on the bottom portion of the driver side door.
In addition, the second and third speakers
are both located on the left and right
portions of the dashboard, while the fourth
speaker is located on the bottom
portion of the front passenger side door.
Also, the fifth and sixth speakers are both
located on the bottom portions of
both the left and right rear doors.
Now the Chevrolet MyLink system comes with
AM,FM and Sirius/XM Satellite Radio,
that's also equipped with HD Radio capability.
But when you press audio on the touchscreen,
both the station name and
frequency number are displayed. However, both
the name of the artist and
song title are only shown in the XM View,
in which this particular
trim-line of the Silverado is equipped with
it.
In addition, when you press the browse function
on the touchscreen, it displays
the other different radio stations that are
available to listen to. Not to
mention that a yellow HD logo will display
in between both the station number,
and call letters, if available.
Also, when you press the menu button on the
touchscreen, it exposes a generous
variety of options, such as controlling the
audio tone settings, auto volume,
and updating the station list, being a few
examples.
On top of that, when you press the phone button,
you have the ability to pair up
a Bluetooth enabled cell phone while also
having the benefit of using the
controls on the right middle portion of the
steering wheel to control
the functions that are displayed.
On a side note, you can also use the same
controls that were just now mentioned
to scroll either left, right, and up or down
through the various
in-dash gauge cluster menus, such as viewing
the tire pressure being one example.
Plus, when you press the navigation function,
it displays a map of the vehicle's
current location like you're seeing right
now. Not to mention that it even
allows you to zoom in and out and even search
for various destinations too.
When you're even in the settings mode, it
exposes the different variety of
vehicle settings to use, such as making changes
to both the time and date,
making adjustments to the touchscreen display,
and even viewing the latest
system software information, being some of
the examples.
Hovering on over to the Pandora mode, the
functionality is very similar to what
you would navigate through in the audio mode,
with the only difference being that
it has a play, back, and forward button.
Transferring on to the weather function, it
shows the conditions on what
both the outside temperature and weather are
like in real time. Plus,
you can even also see what the future weather
forecast will be like, whether it's
hour by hour, in the next 36 hours, as well
as even in the next 5 days too.
Also, you even have a menu section in where
you can access weather advisory
info, be informed about weather alerts, and
see the map legend as well.
And just like the map function, the weather
mode also features the ability
to either zoom in, or zoom out, depending
on what your preferences are.
Now another way that you can also get some
use out of the Chevrolet MyLink system
is that you can even take advantage of the
hands-free voice command system to
navigate through it also.
In addition, I will go ahead and activate
the hands-free voice command system
to show you on what kind of general commands
you can say to get the best
possible experience.
[Chevrolet Voice Command System]: Command
Please.
[Michael Land]: Help.
[Chevrolet Voice Command System]: You can say phone, audio, navigation,
weather, or OnStar.
To call a number quicker, say call followed
by the number, like this,
call 555-1212.
To quickly change what is playing on an audio
system, say commands like, tune to
FM 101.1, or play followed by the name of
an artist, album or song.
Or to enter a destination, say destination
address.
[Michael Land]: Cancel.
[Chevrolet Voice Command System]: Goodbye.
Now I'll activate the voice command system
again, but to show you the commands
for the Onstar mode this time.
[Chevrolet Voice Command System]: Command
Please.
[Michael Land]: OnStar.
[Chevrolet Voice Command System]: Okay. OnStar
Ready.
[Michael Land]: OnStar Info.
[Chevrolet Voice Command System]: You can say, messages, minutes, my number,
or virtual advisor.
[Michael Land]: Go back.
[Chevrolet Voice Command System]: Go Back, returning to the main menu.
OnStar Ready.
[Michael Land]: Hands-Free Calling.
[Chevrolet Voice Command System]: You can say, call, directory, redial, store,
minutes, or commands.
[Michael Land]: Go back.
[Chevrolet Voice Command System]: Go Back, returning to the main menu.
OnStar Ready.
[Michael Land]: Turn-by-Turn Directions.
[Chevrolet Voice Command System]: All right, now say plan route, directory, or store.
[Michael Land]: Go back.
[Chevrolet Voice Command System]: Go Back,
returning to the main menu. OnStar Ready.
[Michael Land]: Cancel.
[Chevrolet Voice Command System]: Cancel. Thank You. Goodbye.
Now located underneath the three USB ports,
2 12V Power-outlets, and 1 AC
Household outlet, is an open center storage
area, with the main cup-holders
being directly behind it, and the Silverado's
center console, being right behind
the main cup-holders, respectfully.
Inside of the center console, you not only
receive a generous amount of extra
storage space, you even get a storage tray
in the middle to where it can be used
to store items like loose leaf papers or folders,
if you wish.
Now Next to the middle storage tray on the
left, there's not only another 12V
power-outlet, but just off to the right side
of the tray,
there's even two additional USB ports, an
auxiliary port, and a memory card slot,
while an LED light is located right above
the tray on top of that as well.
In addition, the center console not only opens
smoothly, but closing it is also a
piece of cake too.
Now moving on over to the top roof area of
the interior, there are two sun-visors
for both the driver and front passenger, that
feature both their own vanity mirror
and lights, with the Bluetooth microphone
being located right next to the driver
side sun-visor.
In between the sun-visors are the sunglasses
holder, garage home-link system,
the power rear window controls, and front
interior LED lamps, which are all
located right next to each other.
So beginning with the front interior LED lamps
first, you can either have both
of the lights completely turned off like you're
seeing right now, or have both
of them stay on, as well have the lamps to
come on or off when you open the door,
via the front interior door light switch located
at the top of the screen,
if you wish.
Now to operate the power rear window, just
simply push up on the button that you
see in the middle to open it up to let some
fresh air in. But to close the window,
just push down on the same button, to close
up the window.
Now placed right next to the front interior
door light switch, is the
sunglasses holder, in where it let's you either
store a pair of sunglasses,
or other small items of any kind.
Transferring on over to the dual glove box
now, it's got a decent amount of storage
capacity to where you can easily store about
anything that you can imagine,
such as the driver's manual, or even an extra
set of keys, as being a couple
of examples.
In addition to the airbag that you saw on
the steering wheel eariler, there are
also two side curtain airbags, with one being
next to the driver's seat,
and the other one being next to the front
passenger seat.
Plus, there's even two seat-mounted airbags
equipped on both the driver and
front passenger seats, and one equipped on
the front passenger side of the
dashboard, which adds up for a total of six
airbags, all together.
Now proceeding on over to the driver side
door of the silverado, it doesn't only
provide the controls for the memory seat settings,
power mirrors, power locks,
and all 4 power windows, but the material
quality is very durable, with soft touch
materials on not only the top and middle portions,
but even the bottom portion
is also the same way as well.
Additionally, the material quality on the
front passenger door is just as exactly
the same as the driver's side.
As for the rear left door, the same soft touch
material qualities that were
present on the driver's side door, are carried
on over through to give the
rear occupants the exact same benefit.
Also, the material quality on the right rear
door is just as exactly the same
as the left rear door.
Now as for the backseat goes for the all new
redesigned Chevrolet Silverado
1500, it doesn't only offer both practicality
and flexibility, but also,
the amount of headroom space that I have in the backseat, is definitely really
generous and very accommodating, and I'm just about
5 foot 11, to 6 feet tall.
But what about the thigh support though on
the other hand?
As for thigh support goes, it's both very
comfortable and very supportive.
Plus, the amount legroom space that I have
in the backseat of this truck is
also very spacious and roomy, which makes
riding in the backseat of this truck,
a very pleasant experience, that you definitely
won't forget.
In addition, there are two convenient storage
compartments for the rear
passengers that also includes a 12V power-outlet
next to the top storage
compartment on the right side. Not to mention
that there are even two rear
map pockets, with one being on the left side,
while the other one is on
the right.
Also, there are even two rear cup-holders
for the rear passengers,
for additional convenience.
So with everything that you have seen, including
the optional equipment, the
MSRP price of this particular version of the
Silverado is
$50,880.00. And that's the price with the
High Country Premium Package and other
amenities that you just now saw. But if you
add the destination charge to the
MSRP price that I just now mentioned, the
total price of the vehicle runs at
$51,975.00. Which is not a bad price for a
full-size truck that's able to
to offer a lot for a price that you simply
cannot refuse to pass up.
Plus, the crash-test ratings for the Silverado
are also outstanding
for every category that you see listed, especially
for both the front and
side-crash test rating categories.
So to reiterate the question that I asked
in the beginning of the episode,
does the all-new redesigned Chevrolet Silverado
have the ability to be
very competitive against the other full-size
truck offerings?
The answer, it absolutely does, without a
doubt about it.
Not just because of how much the vehicle has
changed from both the inside and
outside, but also because of the generous
amount of safety
features that the truck is able to offer that
nobody can pass up,
based on the crash test ratings that you just
now saw.
In addition, the Silverado even provides a
plentiful amount of room and
comfort for both the driver and passengers,
without comprising both
fuel economy and driving performance, which
is in thanks to that part
to the newly-introduced 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 Engine
from General Motors.
Additionally, the new Ecotec3 engine lineup
was one of the reasons that the
all-new Silverado won the 2014 North American
Truck Of The Year Award at
the 2014 North American International Auto
Show in Detroit, MI, respectfully.
So with that being said, I hope you enjoyed
this episode of Nexccelerator.
I'm Michael Land, and I'll see you next time.

2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD LTZ | "Colossus" | Custom Truck| Sherwood Park Chevrolet

Sherwood Park Chevrolet:

Hello and welcome to another video walkaround
by myself Dakota down here at Sherwood Park
Chevrolet. Today we are going to be taking
a look at this absolutely stunning 2016 Chevrolet
Silverado 3500 LTZ. This truck has been custom
built by a team of our performance specialists
right here at Sherwood Park Chev. They have
added a variety of outstanding features which
includes a BDS 6.5 inch lift and a 3 inch
body lift. We also have Buckwacker fender
flares which are designed to withstand the
elements. Made from a durable material that
is tough and flexible enough to resist damage.
We have as well gap guards to hide the gap
between body and frame. Which also keeps out
dirt, mud, and water from entering the engine
compartment. We have these absolutely massive

anchor that you will need. I mentioned that

2016 Chevrolet Colorado Z71

Cars.com:

Chevrolet made a bet on the midsize
pickup truck market that some other
brands weren't ready to take when it
introduced a new Colorado pickup truck
for the 2015 model year and it's up the
ante for 2016 by offering a new duramax
turbodiesel four-cylinder engine
increases maximum towing capacity to
7,700 pounds and it's paired with
trailering oriented features like an
exhaust brake in an integrated trailer
brake controller but how does it perform
in everyday driving
let's take a look
the diesel colorado is distinguished by
just a few unique exterior cues their
duramax badges on the front fenders in
an oversized tail pipe or otherwise it
looks a lot like the gas Colorado Artest
truck is the off-road oriented z71 trim
level
c70 ones get a gun metal gray finish
instead of chrome that other models get
a projector beam headlights and 17-inch
aluminum wheels with all terrain tires
there's also an automatic locking rear
differential in skid plate for the
transfer case our truck also had these
tubular assist steps there a 745 dollar
option
they look pretty good but they're not
that useful in real life even in z71
form the cholera isn't that high riding
truck so I didn't need the steps to get
into it and when trying to get out of
the truck
they were just constantly brushing
against my pant leg because they stick
out so far
the built-in rear bumper steps however
make it a lot easier to get into the
cargo bed
the diesel is rated at 181 horsepower
and 369 pounds
for and it teams with a six-speed
automatic transmission
you'll hear familiar diesel clatter when
driving it but you don't feel it and
that impressed a lot of our editors
acceleration is acceptable though not as
strong as the gas v6 and the
transmission is unobtrusive making her
fine
ships and kick downs high-speed passing
power though is modest the diesel just
doesn't have a lot of reserve power left
at higher speeds with the diesel the
four-wheel-drive Colorado gets an epa
estimated 23 miles per gallon in
combined driving
that's a few miles per gallon higher
than the gas 4-cylinder gas v6 get in
mix city and highway driving we got
about 22 miles per gallon
the Colorado is poised on the highway
and is a maneuverable easy to drive
truck in places that can be
nerve-wracking and larger full-size
models like parking garages
it's small dimensions are a key reason
but it's responsive car like steering
also deserves some of the credit
the cabin has a lot of hard plastic
surfaces but low gloss green and gives
it a nice look
but the one place i would have liked to
seen some soft touch material is on the
upper portion of the doors because it
could be more comfortable place to rest
your arm
the driving position is comfortable
thanks to a standard height adjustable
driver's seat that's something that
turned into coma doesn't offer and it
makes driving that truck much less
enjoyable higher trim levels of the
Colorado have four USB ports including
one in the center console storage bin
it makes the been a good place to stash
your smartphone
if you're going to connect it to the
available my link multimedia system
which supports apple carplay and android
auto smartphone mirroring the crew cabs
rear seating area has good legroom for
adult passengers but comfort is
compromise a little by the upright
background the seat folds two ways
the back rest comes down or the
seat cushion flips up when the cushions
up
you don't have a flat loading floor
because of this structure for the seat
the duramax diesel costs about 4,200
dollars extra in the z71 Colorado but
unless you plan on regularly towing more
than 7,000 pounds
it's not an option you have to check
especially considering the Colorado
offers an impressive gas v6 engine
yeah

2015 Chevrolet Silverado | CarGurus Test Drive Review

CarGurus:

hi I'm Chris Wardlaw for CarGurus and
today we're going to talk about the pros
and cons of the 2015 Chevy Silverado
now this is a Full-sized pickup truck it
competes against the Ford F-150
the RAM 1500 and the Toyota Tundra let's
get right to it
and talk about my three favorite things
about the Silverado
now it's true that my LTZ Z71 test truck
is pricey and over fifty seven thousand
dollars but
when you spend that kind of money you're
getting a lot of equipment in return for
example
full leather interior in terms of the
seats heated and ventilated front seats
you got this fully functional my-link
infotainment system complete with
navigation
and a wifi hotspot you've got a Bose
premium audio system dual zone climate
control
sunroof and more now you're probably
wondering why have these gloves on
the reason is I wanna show you that
chevy's designs truck to be used
when you have gloves on all these buttons
and noms are big enough to be used when
you're wearing gloves
in fact even the touchscreen is
touch-sensitive
when you are wearing work gloves so you
push that nav
icon the navigation system comes up go
back to home push this
audio icon the audio system comes up so
that's really nice
very thoughtful of Chevrolet to do
that now the front seats are super
comfortable
I've got no problem and the great thing
is when you get the crew cab
there's plenty of room for your crew in
the back
you can fit three adults my size easily
in this backseat
loading a Silverado is a breeze too
because it's got these
handy corner steps and
my test truck has the easy lower and lift
tailgate what you see here's a spray in
bedliner that's a new option for 2015
now my test truck is equipped with the
biggest engine you can get in a
Silverado 1500
this is a 6.2 liter v8 it makes 420
horsepower and 460
pound-feet of torque now this year this
engine is paired with a new
eight-speed automatic transmission and
it ups fuel economy by one mile per
gallon each
in city and highway driving so according
to the EPA
this version of this truck should get
15 in the city
and 21 on highway now one reason they
can get 21 miles per gallon on the
highway is the
Active Fuel Management system that is
included
with all the Silverado's engines and
basically what that technology does is
it shuts half the cylinders down when
you're
not needing the extra power so if you're
steady-state cruising on the Interstate
or if you're coasting downhill or you're
coasting up to
a red light now during my test driving
I got 15.8 miles per gallon
out of the truck just short
of the EPA's 17 MPG rating in
combined driving
now another great thing about the
Silverado is its got class competitive
towing and hauling ratings
this is a four-wheel-drive crew cab with
the Short Box
it's got the 6.2 liter v8 engine and so
it's rated to tow
eleven thousand eight hundred pounds and
tackle a payload weighing up to two
thousand sixty pounds
now the Ford F 150 matches
this Silverado when it's equivalently
optioned
in terms of towing capacity the Ford will
haul 20 extra pounds and its bed
but otherwise the Silverado's numbers
beat the RAM 1500
and a Toyota Tundra so those are a few
of the things that I really like about
the Silverado
but find out what I'm not so crazy about
now one of the things I was thinking
about the whole time I was driving the
Silverado
was how great it would be to have a
diesel engine option
and then I realized that in most parts of the
country gas is really cheap
diesel engine options are really
expensive so forget that that's not a
con
right now what is the con is that
when you've got the z71 off-road
suspension
and all the things that go along with
the z71 package
this truck should be off road ready but
it's not
and I'm going to explain why you see this air
dam down here
it's designed to improve airflow and
aerodynamics for better fuel economy you
try to go off roading with that
installed
gonna chew it up in no time the second
problem is that my trucks got these
optional step rails
what these do is they serve to ruin
your break over angle completely
and I speak from experience on this
front because I've driven
a Silverado z71 off-road and I've gotten
the truck damn near high centered
because it had those rails otherwise the
truck is brilliant
when you take it panned really difficult
terrain just make sure to get rid of
that air damn
and don't get the step-rails
now even though the Silverado's got
a long hood and these thick windshield
pillars
it's fairly easy to see out at this
truck and these wide side mirrors are
part of the reason why
Chevy thoughtfully provides this convex
section
of the driver side mirror to make it
really easy to see your blind spot
but while this truck comes with forward
collision warning and lane departure
warning systems
you can't get a blind spot warning
system the matter how much money you
have to spend
that makes me a little bit crazy because
in my opinion
blind spot warning systems are one of the most
important safety innovations in the past
fifteen years Chevy needs to offer that
as an option
soon as possible
now I'm holding here basically a blown-up
version of my truck's window sticker
and you'll see right here that this truck was built in Mexico and that 52
percent of the parts content
came from Mexico now I think some truck
buyers might take issue with that
in fact according to several respected
made in America indices
the Silverado is actually the least
American full-size truck you can buy
aside from its corporate twin the GMC
Sierra
and the Nissan Titan so what's the
verdict when it comes to the Chevy
Silverado
should you go test drive one right away
if this truck a work in progress
or should you just cross it right off
your list well
I think that as long as you like the way
this truck looks and that the towing and
payload ratings meet your requirements
you're probably not going to regret
buying this truck be sure to check my
full review on CarGurus.com
and thanks for watching up
