Critics Are Awed By the New Silverado

We looked over all of the positive 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 reviews and pulled some of the quotes we think best represent this pickup:

2016 Chevy Silverado dusty

  • Car and Driver: “Rigs like this Chevrolet Silverado make clear that the utilitarian pickup of yesteryear has little in common with its contemporary descendants. Even the basic Silverado WT (for Work Truck) has its share of amenities, and the LTZ tested here is just this side of hedonistic. Maybe even on the other side, now that Chevy has added refinement to the truck by installing its latest eight-speed automatic transmission.”
  • Edmunds: “A wide range of body styles, an impressive interior and a lineup of powerful and fuel-efficient engines make the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado a solid choice in the full-size pickup class.”
  • Left Lane News: “A quieter, cushier interior, improved power and fuel economy, and a number of useful technology features make the new Silverado a smart choice for a broad spectrum of pickup buyers.”
  • The Car Connection: “The 2016 Chevrolet Silverado takes a traditional truck path but counters that with a comfortable, refined interior and a mother lode of technology.”

The 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 Highlights

It’s tough to break down all of the essentials of the Silverado without a test drive, but we hope this glimpse helps you see why you should get behind the wheel:

  • Features: With six trims and the Z71 off-road package available, drivers can get access to nearly any features on their new truck, including Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, leather upholstery, heated front seating, and more.
  • Powertrains: A 285-hp 4.3L V6, 355-hp 5.3L V8, and a 420-hp 6.2L V8 are available, delivering towing capacities of up to 12,000 pounds and payloads of up to 2,260 pounds.
  • Truck Beds: While competing pickups like the Ford F-150 might boast a lightweight aluminum frame, nothing compares to the dependability of steel. Silverado beds are available in 5’8”, 6’6”, and 8′ lengths.
