By blending space, comfort, and features that rival any class of car or SUV, trucks like the All-New Silverado are flexible enough to succeed in any kind of environment.

Even when they have frequent need of truck capability, many folks spend hours every week commuting in and around metro areas. In years past, spending that time in a truck was at least a little less comfortable than in a different kind of vehicle. (Pickups are for real work, not for city slickers, right?)

Which is why, after our first few hours driving the All-New Silverado, one of the biggest takeaways was just how quiet and composed the truck was at highway speeds. Some amazing work has been done to give the truck a calm cabin, insulated from much of the wind noise and tire roar. It’s a quality that any truck driver should appreciate, especially if their typical day is likely to revolve around kids’ soccer schedules in addition to runs to the lumberyard.

The All-New Silverado puts control at your fingertips and important information’s just a couple taps away. The interior spaces are bigger in almost every way, and you can get the big picture when it comes to trailering thanks to the in-vehicle trailering system on the infotainment display.

We also loved the ease with which both of the available V8 engines got the All-New Silverado up to speed. The 5.3-liter V8 is an incredible value, bringing 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque to bear, with a super-smooth eight-speed automatic transmission. Whether merging onto the freeway or pulling away with a loaded trailer attached,^† the 5.3-liter performed admirably in our day of driving.

The up-level 6.2-liter V8, meanwhile, is a total powerhouse—boasting best-in-class 420 horsepower^† and 460 pound-feet of torque, along with an advanced 10-speed automatic transmission. Towing and trailering feel completely unstressed with this big V8 underhood. What’s more, the bass-y exhaust note that accompanies acceleration with the 6.2-liter proved a great reminder of the available grunt.
