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.
