2013 CHEVROLET SilveradoRegular Cab 5.3L V8 EcoTec3 6AT (355 HP)(4×2)

Vehicle Overview

After seven years, the Silverado 1500 evolved and promised a better experience for its owners. The Silverado lineup is mainly built for daily use, for small contractors and entrepreneurs. It was not built for really heavy trailers or loads, but it can handle well a lot of torture without torturing its owners. The optional “towing package” allows trailers up to 11.500 lbs (5216 kg) for the V8 versions and only 7200 lbs (3265 kg) for the V6.

The regular cab has three-passenger bench seating and enough options to ensure a comfortable ride to and from work. It has a choice of different beds in the back, and the longest is 6’6” long. In the rear it features a step sculpted in the bumper for easier access to the bed.

Inside, the Chevrolet designers moved the infotainment unit up on the dashboard to be easier to read and reach and made it compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Also, the big buttons and the main commands for HVAC systems have big round knobs so they could be used with a gloved hand. The Silverado 1500 is equipped with electric power steering instead of the old hydraulic type.

Under the hood of this half-ton pickup there are three engine choices: a 4.3-liter V6, a 5.3-liter V8, and a 6.2-liter V8. All of them come with direct injection, cylinder deactivation, and variable valve timing.
