This beast is powered by the widely acclaimed 300-hp 6.6-liter Duramax diesel V-8.

Silverado HD's share the styling of Chevy's half-ton models and a strong family resemblance with the popular TrailBlazer and Avalanche the signature wide chrome grille bar recessed fog lamps crisp fender lines angular wheel openings and restyled taillamps. This look is clean and handsome bolder than Ford's less over-the-top aggressive than Dodge's pickups. The redesigned instrument panel cluster seats and center console will look familiar to previous GM truck owners yet are much improved in material quality fit and finish. While diesel engines can be noisy (try sneaking up on someone or coming home late at night) considering its performance economy and relative civility compared to past offerings this Isuzu-built Duramax is a peach. there's little not to like. All things considered it's no surprise that Chevy's highly capable and versatile Silverado is GM's most popular nameplate and an industry top seller. Print this page and call us Now...
