Its the Silverado of Trucks

Trucks and SUV’s have declined in popularity as gasoline prices have increased, the need to have a vehicle that can deliver you to your desired destination while costing less to operate has become a desirable feature. However, there remains a large market for the traditional pickup truck, and one of the most popular models is the Chevrolet Silverado.

Chevy first started making a truck with the exclusive designation Silverado in 1999. prior to that the Silverado name had been used, but only to describe the package the truck had. As of 1999 the Chevy Silverado became an official model design all its own.

The truck also has four 20 volt AC power stations in the bed which makes it very popular with the construction crowd.

The heavy duty models with the Vortec power platform are rated at, an industry leading, 11, 500 lbs towing capacity.

While you are still looking at a heavy gas load for hauling operations, these trucks still offer superior gas efficiency over previous model years. Whether you need this truck for heavy duty hauling or light work it can handle the load and not be as hard on your wallet
