Chevy Silverado

Chevy Silverado 1500

MotorTrend- The Chevy Silverado has always carried everything between being a luxury truck to a work pickup. Chevy Silverado comes in three cab types, two-bed lengths, and a towing capacity of up to 12,500 pounds. One thing is for sure, every task is met with the Silverado.
Originally, the Silverado name was used as a trim level for trucks that Chevrolet manufactured until 1998. The first-generation Chevrolet Silverado was in production from 1999-2006 model years. It offered three engine choices; a 4.3-liter V-6, a 4.8-liter V-8, and a 5.3-liter V-8. They were paired to either a four-speed automatic or five-speed manual transmission. In 2003, the Silverado SS was introduced. It was powered by a 6.0 liter V-8 with 345-hp and 380 lb-ft torque mated to a four-speed automatic. The second generation model came out in 2007 and was in production until the 2013 model year. And with that, a 403-hp 6.2-liter V-8 was added. One unique feature that was added to the Silverado 1500’s V-8 engines for the second generation was cylinder deactivation, which allows the engine to operate in four-cylinder mode for improved fuel economy.
The current third-generation Chevrolet Silverado 1500 now features a direct injection and cylinder deactivation for improved fuel economy and performance in its engines. Chevrolet’s MyLink infotainment system is also available, and it now has Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration. 
The Chevy Silverado 1500 offers two powerful V-8 trucks and the MyLink multimedia interface which allow you to do any work out of your truck. But if diesel-powered full-size pickup is what you are looking for, the Silverado 1500 isn't the truck. The Silverado Heavy Duty offers the oil-burning powertrains you need.

Another one of those responsibilities is keeping your vehicle clean, inside and out. With so many products and car care advice out there, it can be hard to pick what is right for your vehicle. Below are a few myths and facts that you may have wondered about, such as types of car soap, supplies, and other topics. This or That There might have come a time that you were out of car soap or heard from someone that dish detergent will clean your car. Well, it would CLEAN your vehicle, but dish detergent will actually speed up oxidation on the paint, and it will lead to a degradation of the paint job. A shiny car isn’t necessarily a clean car. To honestly know if your vehicle is clean, you should feel the paint to see if it feels glossy and not coarse. If it feels more like sandpaper, then the car isn’t clean, a...
