About the Silverado

The name Silverado refers to a range of trucks made by General Motors under the Chevrolet brand. Brought out in 1999, it replaced the C/K, the Silverado actually took its name from the top-level trim of the 1975 C/K.

There are numerous variations of the Silverado, including chassis cab trucks and medium-duty trucks. The vehicle has changed a lot over the years and has been brought right up to date with the 4th generation in 2019 (mechanically similar to the GMC Sierra).

In 2019 its main competition lay with the Ford F-Series, the Dodge Ram pick-up and the Nissan Titan. The first generation ran for just 4 years before it had a refresh in 2003. Chevrolet upgraded the audio system which seemed to be a trend over the coming years.

Chevrolet started development in 1993, a whole 6 years before its original release. There were two main categories, light-duty and heavy-duty. In the light-duty range, you’ll find 3 cab lengths; 2 door standard and 3 or 4 door extended, Chevrolet’s heavy duties are largely the same but with the addition of a strengthened steel chassis.

In 2007, the second generation was all change; an overall new look; with a slightly more rounded new exterior, interior upgraded suspension system. The North American Auto Show premiered the 3rd generation in 2014 and yet again, Chevrolet premiered a fully updated version, this time they had added touchscreens, multimedia systems, hands-free Bluetooth, Bose speakers and Apple iPod capabilities. The engine received a full overhaul too, the options available were 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and an enormous 6.2-liter V6, and 5 years later, for their fourth generation, Chevrolet actually airlifted their truck into the show by a helicopter! If this sounds extravagant, so are the number of trims this vehicle comes with, 8; WT, Custom, Trail Boss, LT, RST, LT, Trail Boss, LTZ and the High Country.
