2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Review
Overview
For years Chevrolet's been known for building the most dependable longest-lasting full-size pickups on the road. But Chevrolet never stands still in its ongoing commitment to building the most capable and advanced pickup. So for 2009 you can add these claims – the most powerful light and heavy-duty pickup truck engines ever: the newly available 403 horse power Vortec 6.2L V8 and the Duramax 6.6L V8 Turbo Diesel that produces an awesome 660 pound feet of torque. Add to that the best V8 fuel efficiency of any full-size pickup. There’s a surprising amount of room inside Silverado Extended Cab. The 60/40 rear split-bench on LT and LTZ models isn’t only spacious it also features stadium-style seating for better sightlines. The generosity of space extends to its cargo capacity which is easily increased by flipping up the rear seat. In addition LTZ models feature a 20 liter front storage console. It’s not just the capacity of Silverado’s cargo box that’s impressive an easily removable tailgate four cargo tie-downs stake pockets two- tier loading capability and cargo bulkheads are all standard. For the ultimate in cargo-area versatility there’s the available integrated Cargo Management System. Be As Thorough In Choosing Your Pickup As We Were In Building It the 2009 Chevrolet Silverado.
