2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

This is Chevrolet's full-size pickup, the one that's been the best-selling truck in America for decades. The Silverado rides with a solid, planted feel, and the steering is light enough for easy parking. The cabin is roomy and straightforward, with big controls you can use while wearing work gloves. You can get it as a regular cab, extended cab, or crew cab, so there's a version to fit your needs. Leather upholstery and heated front seats set the LTZ apart from the LS and Work Truck trims below it. The 5.3L V8 paired with automatic transmission and four-wheel drive gives you confident traction on snow or dirt, though it drinks fuel at 15 mpg combined. The LTZ's optional Autoride suspension automatically adjusts damping to smooth out washboard roads and keep the bed steady.
