SelectBrowse ListingsThe Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup truck became the first mass-produced hybrid of its kind in 2005 and was the first hybrid vehicle built by a General Motors division. The 2005 model year hybrid pickup truck was introduced with only an extended cab body style available with either a two-wheel or four-wheel drive train.

Featuring only a crew cab body style, the 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Hybrid is propelled by a 6.0-liter Vortec V-8 engine connected to a two-mode hybrid transmission. Technology General Motors co-developed with Chrysler and BMW, the two-mode hybrid transmission on the Silverado 1500 Hybrid consisted of two electric motors integrated with a four-speed automatic gearbox. Providing qualities similar to a continuously variable transmission, the 332-horsepower powertrain of the truck achieved fuel economy of 21 miles per gallon city and 22 miles per gallon highway. During the final year of production in 2013, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Hybrid came standard with dual-zone climate control, Bluetooth connectivity and an EZ-Lift locking tailgate.
