The full size Silverado pickup has been GM’s sales leader for years now, its makeover ensured that position won’t change any time soon. Still, Chevrolet continues to improve the breed with each model years. As in the past, the Silverado comes in a huge choice of chassis configurations, from the Regular Cab Sportside Box to the Extended Cab Fleetside Long Box, and everything in between.
To make things a bit easier on customers, some base Silverado option group packages have been combined based on past customer preferences, and chrome bumpers and grills are now standard on all models. Radio options have also been narrowed and for the first time a CD player is offered on the base models. In similar spirit, the Extended Cab now comes standard with an automatic transmission.
Driveline options for the Silverado mirror the rest of Chevrolet’s truck and SUV models. Four wheel drive versions get the Autotrac transfer case that automatically shifts between 2wd and 4wd depending on road conditions. Two wheel drive buyers with V8 automatics and a locking rear differential can enhance on road performance with the optional Electronic Traction Control system.
The biggest cause for celebration among Silverado fans will be the introduction of the Quadrasteer system. Developed by Delphi and first used in GMC Sierra Denali, Quadrasteer is an electronically controlled front and rear wheel steering system that gives full-size trucks a turning radius similar to that of a small sedan.
