From strong performance to customization and power, there’s a Chevy truck model for nearly every pickup enthusiast. Thus, if you’re in the market for a Chevy truck, Jay Hodge Chevrolet has got you covered with our guide to Chevy’s truck lineup. Read more on the Chevrolet truck lineup below, and then check out our new truck inventory to pick the one that works for you.
The Colorado is surprisingly good in ride quality for a truck that wears its toughness well. It’s easy to drive and take twisty roads with no problem. Its off-road performance is also excellent. The WT and LT trims offer standard rear-wheel drive, while all-wheel drive is standard for the rest of the lineup.
The Colorado only offers one engine, a popular turbocharged 2.7-liter 4-cylinder with 310 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain provides spirited acceleration and can comfortably cope with most driving situations. Both the payload and max towing numbers – 1,710 and 7,700 pounds, respectively – are impressive for the compact pickup truck segment.
The Silverado 1500 is a huge truck, yet it feels and drives smaller because of its lightweight steering feel and relative lack of body lean in corners. The relaxed steering makes this Chevy nimble. Moreover, the brakes are robust and easy to control, and ride quality is comfortable. Maximum towing capacity is 13,300 pounds, which is good for a half-ton pickup.
The Silverado presents four engine choices: a 310-hp turbocharged 2.7-liter, a 305-hp turbodiesel, and a 355-hp or 420-hp V8. The base turbo-4 is powerful enough for most needs, and the eight-speed automatic transmission works quietly in the background. The diesel engine is astonishingly refined and quiet, while both V8s offer muscular acceleration.
Nothing can replace the Chevrolet Silverado HD for the heavy lifting, hauling, and towing needed for certain types of work. This truck has been a reliable stalwart. Its lineup has expanded to include off-road offerings. A 6.6-liter gasoline V-8 is the standard engine, but the 6.6-liter turbodiesel V-8 makes the Silverado an entirely different beast and allows for a massive 36,000-pound towing capacity. Both gas and diesel engines are mated to an Allison 10-speed automatic.
Buyers can choose between rear-wheel and four-wheel drive. A dual rear axle upgrade further improves maximum tow and haul capability. The Silverado HD also offers a host of features to reduce the towing workload, such as a trailer-adaptive version of adaptive cruise control and a variety of camera views to help hitch up.
