The 2014 Silverado made its auto
show debut in Detroit on Monday. The pickup truck, along with the
redesigned GMC Sierra, has been reworked with a lighter but stiffer
frame and cab, a fresh interior with video screens and wireless
connectivity, and three new engines one V6 and two V8s. The trucks have
the same basic styling as the previous generation of pickups, but
underneath the hood is a trio of engines from the fifth generation of
GM's small-block engine family
That
introduce a suite of fuel-saving technologies: direct fuel injection,
which puts the fuel directly into each cylinder; continuously variable
valve timing, which adjusts the opening and closing of the valves based
on engine load; and cylinder deactivation, which shuts down some of the
engine's cylinders during light-load driving. 2014 Chevy Silverado
Interior View.
The
truck engines are a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and a 6.2-liter V8. They
use aluminum blocks and cylinder heads to shed weight, compared to iron
blocks and heads. The automatic transmission now uses six gears, up
from four. To further enhance fuel efficiency, the Silverado sees some
aerodynamically enhanced styling cues. Door mirrors were redesigned,
triple-seal doors are inlaid into the body, and the roof and tailgate
were designed for smoother airflow.
While
the overall look doesn't change much, the Chevy pickup is more
sculpted, and there is a twin-port grille and full-width bumper. The
Silverado is also more accessible, with larger rear doors that are
front-hinged. To better access the truck bed, there are corner steps
integrated into the rear bumper, and handholds on the bed. The bed can
also be equipped with new upper tie-down hooks, under-rail LED lighting
and an easy-lift-and-lower tailgate.
Inside
is a six-gauge instrument cluster with an optional center-mounted
4.2-inch information center for vehicle status information. Multiple
storage options include a mini filing cabinet in the center console.
Knobs are also specially coated with rubber to make them easy to grip,
even when wearing gloves.
