No self-respecting pickup can call itself a true truck without bringing a decent amount of performance power to the party. The 2017 Silverado is certainly no exception, packing enough raw engine power to get even your most intense jobs done in no time flat.

Cleverly sculpted to be both bold and aerodynamic, the 2017 Silverado packs three powerful engine options to best suit whatever your needs may be for this full-sized option. Perhaps you look to maximize efficiency without sacrificing power; in that case, you might want to check out the standard 4.3-liter EcoTec 3 engine, a scrappy player that brings 285 horsepower and a best-in-class 305 lb.-ft of torque to the table, all while maintaining a 7,600-lb towing capacity and a whopping 18/24 city/highway miles per gallon fuel economy. While it won’t do every job that needs getting done, it’ll certainly take care of some pretty heavy loads without burning through gas like it’s going out of style.
For those in need of a little bit more get-up-and-go, the available 5.3-liter V8 EcoTec3 option brings a whole new level of power without sacrificing much in efficiency. Capable of pumping out up to 355 horsepower and 383 lb.-ft of torque, this impressive engine cranks out a best-in-class 16/23 city/highway miles per gallon fuel economy, all while able to tow up to 11,100 lbs of cargo without missing a step. That’s serious power at your fingertips without a gas appetite to empty your wallet – and for those in need of serious power, this kind of efficiency is not easy to find elsewhere.
Then again, there will always be those truck lovers in need of total trail-crushing power above all else – and for these, there’s the jaw-dropping 6.2-liter V8 EcoTec3 option, a monster of a machine that can push out up to 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft of torque for a best-in-class towing capacity of up to 12,500 lbs. That’s some serious muscle at your disposal, and when it’s paired to a 15/21 city/highway fuel economy it’s made all the more accessible to drivers looking for a whole new level of raw power in their pickup. Whetever your lifestyle might call for, the 2017 Silverado is ready and able to make it happen – it’s all a matter of you getting behind the wheel and seeing which setup is right for you.
While much of what drivers may hear about when selecting a pickup might be pure power or off-road ability, when it comes to spending long days in a work-ready truck, there’s nothing quite like having a comfortable cockpit. That’s why Chevy has decked out the 2017 Silverado with some of today’s most highly sought-after entertainment and comfort features, all in the name of making your driving experience something to be remembered long after the engine has been shut off.
Step inside this driver-centered cab and feel the quiet comfort of triple-seal inlaid doors, an aerodynamic windshield, and a tuned exhaust system, all of which reduce cabin noise for that smooth sound of silence out on the road. Or, feel free to fill that silence with all your favorite music thanks the the available Chevy MyLink infotainment system, complete with integrated USB ports and wireless phone and device connectivity to put all your best audio collections right at your fingertips. Dual-resilient foam seats help cushion you for even those long drives ahead, while hands-free connectivity, wireless charging, and even 4G LTE Wi-Fi available throughout the cabin help you stay connected and keep your head in the game, all without ever taking your eyes off the road. If there’s a model to look toward when thinking of the future, it’s the 2017 Silverado – built with all that open road ahead in mind.
Of course, with all that power and all that fun under your fingertips, it’s easy to overlook the most important aspect of a reliable pickup – safety. When hauling huge loads or taking on tough roads, it can be easy to take the safety net that Chevy puts in place for granted – and honestly, that’s just how Chevy likes it. Take a look at all the active and preventative safety features to be found in this impressive new Silverado, and why it’s easier than ever to ride with peace of mind even with all that power under the pedal.
Apart from the standard safety features found on every 2017 Silverado – including daytime running lamps, dual-stage front and side airbags, and even Teen Driver Tech to limit speed and audio volume for new drivers – the 2017 Silverado also offers a whole host of available preventative safety tech to help stop accidents before they ever even happen. This includes tech like Forward Collision Alert, Lane Keep Assist, Front and Rear Park Assist, and even a Rear Vision Camera to make all those tight ins-and-outs as easy as though you were in a handy little compact. These are all just one more way Chevy works to make all their drivers as safe as can be out on the road – and you might just find you can drive with total ease in the security of a 2017 Silverado.
