Chevrolet Silverado University of Texas Edition in detail

Chevrolet Silverado

The Chevrolet Silverado has long been the second best-selling truck in America for more years than anyone cares to count. Surpassed only by the Ford F-150 in sales, the Silverado offers customers a plethora of cab, bed, engine, and trim configurations, not to mention the 1500, 2500, and 3500 series.

The half-ton, 1500 version is available with three engines: a 4.3-liter V-6, a 5.3-liter V-8, and a 6.2-liter V-8. All three engines are designated EcoTec3, meaning they each use variable valve timing, direct fuel injection, and active fuel management (displacement on demand) to make impressive power and deliver good fuel economy.

The Silverado comes in three cab configurations, three bed lengths, two- and four-wheel-drive, and with trim levels ranging from vinyl-covered work trucks to leather-lined luxury trucks near the level of the Cadillac Escalade.

Pricing for the Silverado starts at $25,575 and grows to over $53,000 for the top trim level.
