If 4x4 equipped, it is important to keep the truck locked into 4WD HI in damp or icy climes, as rear wheel spin derived from the standard 300-hp 6.0-L V8 hampers forward progress, sliding the back end sideways under full acceleration. The engine mates well with the standard heavy-duty 4-speed automatic transmission, with GM's Tow-Haul mode, offering no slack during take-off and crisp shifts. The 1500 HD's 360 lb-ft of torque is ample for its ½ ton class, capable of pulling loads up to 4,627 kg (10,200 lb) - 4,491 kg (9,900 lb) for 4x4 models - or hefting a 1,413 kg (3,114 lb) payload in its full-size 1,956 mm (77.0 in) box. While not large enough to fit in a 4x8-ft sheet of plywood without lowering the tailgate, its 1,611 L (56.9 cu ft) box is ample for the majority of hauling needs.
The new Silverado 1500 HD Crew Cab exhibits what happens with automotive worlds collide. Its tough on the outside yet simultaneously pampers its occupants to a degree pickup truck owners aren't accustomed. At the same time it offers a car-like turning circle and fairly nimble handling, other than its bunny-hopping tendencies. What's more the new design, albeit appealing to an entirely different clientele, puts it in league with the Dodge Ram for style points. Now, what DVD should I rent tonight?
