2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT

The 2017 Silverado 1500 is Chevrolet's full-size pickup, competing directly with the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500. The Silverado rides smoothly on the highway and its steering feels light for a truck, making it easy to maneuver in town. Crew cab models offer generous rear-seat space, and the cabin features straightforward controls and durable materials. Available tech includes a user-friendly touchscreen infotainment system and a suite of driver assistance features like forward collision alert. The Silverado has a solid reputation for reliability, with many owners reporting trouble-free miles over the long haul. Stepping up to the LT from the base Work Truck adds niceties like an 8-inch touchscreen, cruise control, and power windows, while the LTZ above it brings leather and more luxury. Under the hood is a 5.3L V8 paired with a six-speed automatic and two-wheel drive, good for 19 mpg combined. The LT's standard 17-inch bright machined-aluminum wheels and cloth seats keep it practical, but you can add the Enhanced Driver Alert Package for extra safety tech.
