Chevrolet Silverado (and the GMC Sierra) are still the best in terms of ride quality.Those who value a smooth-riding truck with a low load height should take a good hard look at a two-wheel-drive Silverado.And those who value style could do worse.Silverado's aggressive looks draw the eye.This truck is not the wallflower it was a couple of years ago. Silverado got an edgy new look last year, along with significant interior improvements and an all-new electrical system designed to improve reliability by drastically reducing the number of wires running all over the place.It's all be streamlined. New for 2004 is a roomy and comfortable 1500 Silverado Crew Cab in either 2WD or 4WD.(This is a half-ton model that should not be confused with last year's heavy-duty 1500 HD.) There’s more standard equipment in base-level models for 2004, and there's more content in the Z71 off-road package. Silverado rides, handles, and stops as well as the best of them.It's quick and it's comfortable.Boxed and hydroformed frame rails give the GM trucks a strong, rigid platform.It is, as Chevy says, like a rock.Quadrasteer, GM's heavy-duty four-wheel-steering system, is increasingly available for a wider range of models, improving maneuverability in tight quarters or when pulling a trailer.Heated seats, a Bose stereo, XM Satellite Radio and other options make long days spent in a Silverado more comfortable.
