The Chevrolet Silverado is the latest line of full-size pickup trucks from General Motors. Since its introduction in 1965, the Chevrolet Silverado has been very popular. This full-size pickup begins another year as General Motors' best-selling vehicle.

This is one of the best full-size pickups available today. The new redesign version aims to continue its reputation as the strongest and most dependable truck on the road today.

The 2008 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab 2WD is a 4-door, up to 6-passenger full size pickup, available in 5 trims, ranging from the Work Truck Short Box to the LTZ Short Box.

“The Work Truck Short Box is equipped with a standard 4.8-liter, V8, 295-horsepower engine that achieves 14-mpg in the city and 19-mpg on the highway. The LTZ Short Box is equipped with a standard 5.3-liter, V8, 315-horsepower engine that achieves 15-mpg in the city and 20-mpg on the highway. A 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard on both trims.”

Many reviewers also have positive reactions to the truck's styling. According to them, “the new look is crisp, clean, broad-shouldered and powerful.”
