Whether you're loading up the box with 2-tons of bricks or heading down the I-5 toward California with a camper at your back, a new Chevrolet Silverado HD (or GMC Sierra HD) pick-up is a comfortable traveling companion. Additionally GM's noted reliability gives you the confidence that you'll get to where you're going trouble-free. The big 'rig' is easy to drive, smooth riding and more powerful than anything in its class.
