2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Review

Specifications

The Chevy Silverado has been seeing many improvements over the years. This is in part to the competition that is out there as well as the need to push past the competition. The Chevy Silverado has seen many changes however, this years changes will prove to be the most important. Many would agree that these changes have caused it to quickly catch up and almost surpass the greatness of the Ford F-150 in the best-selling full-size truck arena. The 2009 model has to be created with detail and precision in order to keep up with its competition the FordF-150 and the Dodge Ram. This is because both the Ford F-150 and the Dodge Ram were developing a new model with even greater improvements. It is because of this that Chevy borrowed from its previous models of the Silverado and combining its power and strength. The 2009 Chevy Silverado is fueled by its engine options. These options include the 5.3L engine, 6.0L engine and the 6.2L V-8 engine all of which come with a six-speed automatic transmission. The big E85, 6.2L V-8 engine has 403hp. This power most certainly does away with the 5.7L, 381hp provided by the Toyota Tundra. This easily puts the 2009 Chevy Silverado at the top of the list for the full size truck toting the most power. The 2009 Chevy Silverado gives you the option of choosing from three different cab styles and three different cargo box lengths. These lengths vary from 5′8″ all the way up to 8 feet.

All regular cabs, except the 4.3L V-6, now come with an integrated trailer brake control. You can also choose from 18′ to 20′ wheels to match the new colors offered for the 2009 Chevy Silverado. Two of the newer additions to the color palette are Black Granite Metallic and Imperial Blue Metallic.
