Substantial and strong, Silverado is there from sunup to sundown. Whether taking on mud-rutted back roads or steep mountain grades, towing a boat or hauling stacks of drywall, this is one full-size pickup that charges ahead. The drive comes from a Vortec 5.3L V8 engine that generates 315 horsepower and offers an EPA-estimated 15 mpg city . And while brawn does not take a break, that does not mean it never kicks back. Step inside the Silverado cab and you will experience a den of comfort within a hard-nosed exterior In the world of half-ton pickups, the 2012 Chevrolet Silverado rules supreme. Granted, the Ford F-150 pickup can lay claim to being the best-selling pickup in America but, if you combine the sales of the Silverado with its identical cousin, the GMC Sierra, GM walks away with the best-selling title, no questions asked. Todays Chevrolet must contend with more than just Ford and Ram, however, because Toyota and Nissan are now selling half-ton pickups as well. To keep its big rig competitive and its customers happy, Chevrolet constantly improves the 2012 Silverado pickup line, giving it one of the most fuel-efficient V8s in the segment, but, truck buyers care less about a 1- or 2-mpg increase in fuel economy than they do power, hauling ability and comfort. Here, too, the 2012 Silverado half-ton pickup delivers, with a max tow rating of 10,700 pounds when properly equipped?Kelly Blue Book Edmunds said?The current Chevrolet Silverado platform is 6 years old, having debuted in the 2007 model year just like the Toyota Tundra. And yet even though Ford and Ram offer trucks that have been updated since then, the 2012 Chevrolet Silverado remains a competitive choice in the full-size pickup segment. Regular upgrades, comprehensive utility packages, value-added special editions and respect for a strong heritage all keep the Silverado fresh.
