Chevrolet Silverado 1500 
As Chevrolet’s full-size pickup, the Silverado 1500 shares a number of components and features with the GMC Sierra 1500. There is plenty of choice when it comes to engines, with a turbocharged four-cylinder, a pair of naturally aspirated V8 units, as well as an inline six-cylinder turbo-diesel that delivers some of the best torque in the segment (460 lb-ft.). The Silverado lineup now also includes a rugged ZR2 model designed for off-road driving.
Pros
- Good build quality
- Modern interior presentation (finally!)
- Outstanding engines (V8 and diesel)
- Good road behavior
Cons
- High fuel consumption (V8)
- Disappointing four-cylinder engine
- Duramax diesel not available with ZR2 trim
