Choose Canada's Best Truck

It's a pickup with the work ethic of a Vortec V8 gasoline power, combined with the electric power and revolutionary fuel savings delivered by an electric two-mode hybrid system. And unlike many other hybrid systems, GM's award-winning system*** uses torque-based inputs to continuously determine the optimal propulsion configuration. The result is impressive fuel savings without giving up full-size capability.

Quality and dependability are two fundamental characteristics that have always separated Silverado from other pickups. And now, we can proudly add outstanding value to the list, as Silverado 1500 has just picked up a Consumers Digest Best Buy Award. Need another reason to purchase Silverado? Just take it for a test-drive. That should seal the deal.

Dependability has set Silverado apart for years. Now we can add initial quality to Silverado's list of accolades. Silverado was named Highest Ranked Large Pickup in Initial Quality in the U.S. in the prestigious J.D. Power and Associates 2008 Initial Quality Study ^SM. ¹ Quality and dependability – two fundamental characteristics that separate Chevy Silverado from other pickups.

Active Fuel Management® technology on both the Vortec 5.3L and 6.0L V8 engines shuts down four of eight cylinders in low-demand situations, to boost fuel efficiency. But if you're looking for an even more fuel efficient drive, get behind the wheel of the new 2009 Chevrolet Silverado Hybrid - it's the most fuel efficient full-size pickup³ on the road.

You can take reassurance from the fact that Silverado 1500 earned the highest possible U.S. government frontal and side-impact crash test safety ratings. ² Silverado also helps you avoid an incident before it occurs with a series of enhanced driver control features, including the StabiliTrak™ electronic stability control system with Proactive Roll Avoidance that's standard on all V8-equipped models.

Silverado is purpose-built to handle the rigours of towing. In fact, the Silverado Crew Cab with the available MAX Trailering Package delivers impressive half-ton maximum towing and payload capacity. It's what happens when you put 91 years of truck-building expertise to work for you.
