Finally the 6.2L V8 roars at 420 HP and 624 Nm torque. All engines come equiped with Cylinder Deactivation technology, which allows the truck to operate at 4 cylinders to save fuel. Continuously Variable Valve Timing and Direct Fuel Injection technologies also help boost fuel efficiency.

Style Changes

The new Silverado comes with a restyled one piece bumper from wheel to wheel, a wider grille and restyled headlamps. Crew cab rear doors are now wider to enable easier access and increased rear legroom of 2 inches. Crew cab box is now larger in size and will be offered as a 6'6 for increased cargo capacity. Finally wheel sizes range from 17 inch steel for the Work Truck to 22 inch chrome aluminum wheels for the full options model.
