Providing power, precision, and style, the all-new Silverado is sure to be a longtime Columbus Chevrolet fan favorite.

Columbus Chevrolet Owners Applaud The Silverado

Rugged on the outside and comfy on the inside, the 2011 Silverado is the perfect truck for anyone who demands a lot from his or her vehicle. Equipped standard with a 6.6-liter Duramax turbo-diesel V8 engine, the 2011 Silverado is can conquer just about anything.

Its engine produces a whopping 397 horsepower and 765 lb-ft of torque. Available in a number of trims, including a hybrid model, there’s a Silverado for every Columbus Chevrolet shopper.

Already a staple in the heavy-duty truck class, the 2011 Silverado continues to improve by increasing its highway fuel efficiency and by reducing NOx emissions. The Silverado is also now available with the new Exhaust Brake System, which works in conjunction with the transmissions Tow Haul Mode and Automatic Grade Braking feature to reduce the need for conventional braking when towing or hauling a heavy payload. Drivers will love the 2011 Silverado’s greater capability, improved ride, and increased driver control.

Every Chevy truck undergoes rigorous testing in the lab and out in the dirt to ensure that each truck can withstand your punishment.

The Silverado is no different; one such test had the 2011 Silverado towing a 20,000lb trailer for 245 miles through the heart of the Rocky Mountains. Driving along I-70 between Denver and Grand Junction, the Silverado bravely faced some of Colorado’s steepest grade with altitudes ranging from 5,000 feet to 11,100 feet at Eisenhower Tunnel.

The Silverado conquered these conditions with ease. According to Brendt Deep, a Chevy engineer and the test driver, “It takes some courage to leave your foot off the brake, but the Silverado's Duramax engine and Allison transmission perform the task with smoothness and confidence that really impresses.”
