The Silverado arrived in 1999 as the replacement to the old C- and K-Series pickups, but Chevy sold the old and new pickups through the 2000 model year. Since the second-generation arrived in 2007, the old faithful Chevy Silverado->ke1787 has remained unchanged, as those around it continued to morph and remake themselves. Chevy has had enough with watching all of the other truck manufacturers make changes to their bodies and drivetrains, and decided that 2014 was the model year when things will change.

Just like with the 2014 GMC Sierra, the 2014 Silverado 1500 is offered with more than just a new body, it also has a choice of three new engines: one V-6 and two V-8s. All three engines deliver more power and improved fuel economy, and GM engineered the 6.2-liter V-8 to be the most capable engine in any light-duty pickup->ke242.

UPDATE 6/19/2014 Chevrolet has announced its adoption of the SAE towing standards known as J2807. Many of the Silverado's tow ratings have been altered, but it still retains a 12,000-pound max towing capacity when equipped with the 6.2-liter V-8 and Max Trailering Package. Details after the jump
