THE 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500

Sure, Silverado can help construct roads and bridges. Front porches and back decks. Things that matter. Things that last. But the most important thing we've built over the last 90 years is a bond with truck owners. A commitment to giving them what they need so they can do what needs to get done. No wonder Cars.com named it a 2012 "Best Bet."

EXTERIOR

What Makes a Silverado a Silverado?

Traction control system, smooth responsive handling, StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System, remote keyless entry, full size spare tire, power passenger side mirror -those are just some of the features that make Silverado the most dependable, longest-lasting full-size pickups on the road. (5)

INTERIOR

There's One Place Like Home.

PERFORMANCE

Power and Payload

Every proven Vortec V8 engine available on Silverado is capable of generating over 300 horsepower and 300 lb.-ft. of torque. Or step up to the available Vortec 6.2L V8 that generates 403 horses and 417 lb.-ft. of torque.Not surprisingly, all that power is complemented by a lot of payload capability: 1,980 lbs. (7) for Crew Cab and 1,925 lbs. (7) for Extended Cab models with the available MAX Trailering Pack.

Powerful and Efficient

The available Vortec 5.3L V8 offers an impressive combination of 315 horsepower and 335 lb.-ft. of torque and an EPA estimated 21 MPG highway, 15 city when running on gasoline - fuel economy no competitive V8 full-size pickup can beat.(8)

Frame Technology

Hydro-formed front frame allows for fewer welds, which provide:

• Clean attachment points
• Better fit to frame
• Immense overall frame strength and durability
• Excellent road isolation and ride performance

  Strong rear frame design boosts payload capacity without adding unnecessary mass.

E85-Capable

Every non-hybrid V8 engine available on Silverado 1500 can operate on E85.

• E85 - a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline
• Mostly renewable fuel
• Can help reduce our dependence on petroleum and reduce tailpipe emissions

Ride and Handling

Coil-over-shock front suspension and a wide front track provide great on-center feel, smooth out minor road irregularities, and supply excellent handling and stability. Durable, fade-resistant front and rear shocks supply an unexpectedly smooth and controlled ride.

Pulls Its Weight, And Then Some

With the available MAX Trailering Pack, Extended Cab models can tow 10,700 lbs. (4) and Crew Cab models can pull 10,600 lbs. (4) The package includes:

• A strong, 9.5-inch rear axle that helps carry or pull the biggest loads
• The Vortec 6.2L V8 engine with 403 horsepower and 417 lb.-ft. of torque

Tow/Haul Mode

Tow/Haul Mode enhances performance while pulling a trailer or hauling heavy loads. When activated, this feature modified the automatic transmission shift schedule and helps reduce throttle pedal activity by the driver while traveling over rolling terrain.

Locking Rear Differential

When rear-wheel slippage occurs at lower speeds, the available GM-segment exclusive automatic locking rear differential allows additional traction on snow, mud and ice, or even on a wet boat ramp.

• The control module compares your steering input with the vehicle's actual response and then, if necessary, makes small, individual brake applications to help you keep on track
• It automatically intervenes when it senses understeer (plowing), oversteer (fishtailing) or loss of lateral traction

Six standard air bags: (20)
