New vs. used: Which makes more sense for this Silverado 1500?
See the Comparison
If you want to tailor your pickup truck to your exact requirements, the Chevrolet Silverado enables you to do just that with a wide variety of configurations, bed lengths and trim levels. The Silverado’s V8 engine lineup offers Active Fuel Management technology and Flex-Fuel E85 capability.
The only quibble we have with the Silverado is the baffling array of choices buyers have – multiple trim levels, cab sizes, bed lengths and even instrument panels. Plus the Silverado Classic (the previous design) further muddies the waters for potential buyers.
