This is the truck for contractors and others who need a versatile and capable cargo hauler. Chevy equips the Silverado with range of engines from a 4.3L V-6 to a 6.2L V-8. The Silverado offers 4 and 6-speed automatics; both are available with a range of axle ratios to suit most needs. A choice of bed lengths is available. Braking duties are handled by disc/drum layout. The Silverado 1500 is a good value for a full-size truck, and offers a surprisingly refined driving experience.
