Chevrolet used the Edmonton Motor Show to announce initial performance data and fuel consumption ratings for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 full-size pickup truck, which will officially launch later this spring.
The new 5.3L Ecotec3 V8 engine delivers 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, it's not only more powerful than the previous unit, but also more fuel-efficient: 8.7L/100km highway for 2WD models, and 9.0L/100km highway for 4x4 models.
Moreover, the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 offers a completely redesigned cabin that's stronger and quieter, as well as class-leading towing capacity of 11,500 lbs.
Later in 2013, a 6.2L Ecotec3 V8 and a 4.3L Ecotec3 V6 will join the lineup. Specs and pricing will be revealed in the meantime.
