Silverado 1500 – Regular Listeners will know I am a big fan of the American Pickup Trucks. Last week I had the Silverado 1500 LTZ Premium model
The 1500 LTZ Premium is designed for buyers that may be looking at one of the full-size 4WD wagons.
Inside it dwarfs any large 4WD or SUV with enough room for my 190cm frame to sit in the back seat and my knees don’t touch the back of the front seat.
It has the luxury of a premium SUV as well.
With a long wheelbase and large tub, its actually well proportioned. It also looks smaller than it is. It does feel big in suburban car parks though.
Performance comes from a 6.2L V8 pumping out 313kW of power and peak torque of 624Nm. While those figures are impressive, there is a lot to haul around. The engine management system will shut down cylinders when not needed to maximise fuel economy. Apparently, it will go down to 2 cylinders when appropriate.
Its thirsty around town but will cruise happily on the freeway. Most people who buy these Pickup trucks usually are wanting to tow something heavy. That’s where they excel.
The Chevrolet Silverado LTZ Premium is priced from $130,500 plus the usual costs and you get a lot for that money.

The mid-size pickup truck market is growing recently.
RAM 1500 is the obvious choice. However, Harrison F Trucks do an excellent F150 conversion. Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan may be coming soon.
Ford is introducing the factory backed F150 early next year.
