Back in "the good old days," the only folks who had pickup trucks were those who owned horses, trailers, boats or their own construction/home improvement business. Those workhorse rigs were typically bare-bones standard-cab models with a flat vinyl bench seat, manual windows and an AM radio with one speaker in the middle of the dash.
Now, however, folks demand a lot more from a truck than just the ability to do grunt work. As a result, we have seen full-size pickups morph into family vehicles, available as luxurious crew cabs sporting automatic climate control, CD changers and leather seating. And among this modern breed, the 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 proudly stands as a smart choice, if this type of vehicle is truly what you need.
The previous generations of the Silverado were rightly criticized for their el-cheapo cabin ambiance, but that changed recently when General Motors finally realized that folks want attractive styling, high-quality materials and fine fit and finish in their trucks. Thanks to a full redesign a few years ago, the Chevrolet Silverado's interior is much improved, though it still lags behind the competition in a few areas.
The latest Silverado also has ruggedly handsome styling, much-improved driving dynamics and more safety features, the latter including stability control and side curtain airbags. This year's Silverado also has a new six-speed automatic transmission, which is a welcome upgrade over the standard four-speed auto.
In the half-ton pickup truck class, competition is formidable. But we are positive that this will best meet your needs.
This 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 full-size pickup truck has a crew cab.In the interest of maneuverability, crew cabs come only with the short bed.Notable options include a variety of towing packages & the Z71 Off-Road Package (skid plates, an off-road suspension and a locking rear differential).
This Silverado has a 5.3-liter V8 matched to the six-speed automatic. Properly equipped, a Silverado 1500 can tow up to 10,700 pounds.
This 4WD trims has Autotrac, which features an automatic setting that shifts into 4WD when wheel slippage is detected. Antilock brakes (front disc, rear drum) are standard, with an all-disc setup installed via the Max Trailering Package. A stability control system with roll-mitigating technology is standard on V8-equipped trucks
In government crash tests, the 2009 Chevrolet Silverado earned top five-star ratings for its protection of all occupants in head-on and side-impact collisions.
Tight build quality, an attractive dash design and comfortable front seating combine with sound ergonomics to make the Silverado's interior enjoyable on long road trips. The rear seat in this crew-cab models is also quite comfortable, and the seat cushions can be folded upward for a nearly flat load floor. Interior storage is more than adequate with the addition of more space within the center console box.
