The truck may not be the fastest, but it stands out for its enormous bed of 1,781 liters, even exceeding the capacity of the RAM 3500, the largest pickup truck available in Brazil.

Another highlight of the Chevrolet Silverado is its towing capacity of 4,128kg, even being less powerful than its competitors. The mirror of the Silverado is considerably larger than those of the F-150 and RAM 1500, and can be expanded, being a distinctive feature of the pickup.

One of the most interesting innovations of the Chevrolet Silverado is the mirror with camera, useful in complicated maneuvers and heavy traffic. In addition, the Silverado offers Google Built-In, providing access to apps natively, leveraging the truck’s 4G for programs like Maps, Waze, and Spotify. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are also available.

The GM equipped the Silverado with a 5.3 V8 engine with 360hp and 52.8 kgf/m of torque, along with a 10-speed automatic transmission and a cylinder deactivation system called DFM (Dynamic Fuel Management), resulting in over 17 combinations of V cylinder operation to maximize vehicle efficiency.
