2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500/2500 Review
Chevrolet's full-size pickup returns from its 1999 redesign in half-ton 1500-series models and light-duty 3/4-ton 2500s with regular or extended cabs, 2- or 4-wheel drive, and base, LS or LT trim. GMC's Sierra offers a similar lineup. Heavy-duty 2500s still use the older C/K design for 2000. This report covers Silverado 2500s.
The big news is an optional left-side rear door for extendeds to supplement their standard right-side door. Both cab styles offer flush-fender Fleetside cargo boxes of 6.5 and 8.1 feet. Antilock 4-wheel disc brakes are standard. GM's exclusive adjustable ride control option offers two levels of shock absorber firmness to suit road or load.
A 5.3-liter V8 is standard for 2500s with gross vehicle weights of 7200-8600 pounds, but retuning tacks on 15 horsepower this year. A 6.0-liter V-8 remains optional for those models and standard with GVWs over 8600 pounds. Both engines team with manual or automatic transmission, the latter with a Tow/Haul mode that reduces shifting under heavy loads. Silverado's AutoTrac is the only 4-wheel-drive on a full-size pickup that can be used on dry pavement, engaging the front axle when rear-wheel slip is detected. It can also be locked in 4WD. Maximum tow capacities are 11,000 pounds for 4x2s and 10,500 for 4x4s.
Among lesser changes for 2000 are a standard self-dimming inside mirror for LS and LT models and programmable power door locks for LTs. A factory-fit bed tonneau cover is a new option.

Competition
With the advent of crossover vehicles the segment has become less defined. Once the domain of work-related heavy-duty pickups, buyers are now demanding that their full-size trucks do double duty. Our Best Buys remain the Chevy Silverado, Ford F-150, and GMC Sierra. These trucks offer a wide range of powertrain combinations, plenty of luxury accommodations, and ample towing power--though the GM twins are the only ones to offer full-time 4WD.
The big-rig-styled Dodge Ram matches the new Ford and GM models feature for feature but can't match their ride comfort or civility.

News
Today's big-truck lineups are so broad and complex that manufacturers just aren't able to redesign and start producing all variations at once. That's why Chevy introduced its 2000 Silverado in only the most popular light-duty models. Now that that's done, new-design heavy-duty ?- and one-ton models will roll out for 2001. Also on deck is a 4-door Crew Cab body style for all Silverado chassis, a reply to Ford's 2001 F-150 SuperCrew.
In addition, the '01 Silverado line will feature a new 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8 to replace the elderly 6.5-liter unit. A joint project between General Motors and Isuzu, the Duramax features four valves per cylinder instead of two and direct instead of indirect fuel injection, both of which should increase fuel efficiency while reducing emissions. With direct injection, fuel is squirted into the cylinders instead of being mixed with air in a pre-chamber.
Further out is the prospect of optional 4-wheel steering to make these big rigs easier to park. Several Japanese cars offered 4WS about a decade ago, but the idea found little buyer acceptance, partly because of its high price. But 4WS makes a lot of sense for large pickups and sport-utility vehicles, and CONSUMER GUIDE magazine recently got a look at General Motors' new Quadrasteer system. It works well, providing a much tighter turning circle and consequently easier parking.
Just when Quadrasteer might be available is a bit hazy now, GM saying only that the feature could arrive in two years time. Industry insiders tip that GMC, the company's "premium truck" brand, would offer it before Chevrolet, and probably on big pickups rather than full-size SUVs. Still, where GMC leads, Chevy trucks usually follow, so Silverados might well be available with Quadrasteer by 2004.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
We like the 5.3-liter V8 best, but the 4.8 handles most light-duty chores just fine. The automatic's Tow/Haul mode and Sierra's optional adjustable suspension are welcome features, however, since 70 percent of big-pickup buyers haul or tow at some point.

Fuel Economy
Fuel economy isn't so fine. We averaged just 13.6 mpg with an automatic 5.3-liter extended-cab 4x4.

Ride Quality
Ride quality is good for a big pickup, but the usual empty-bed tail jitter can occur over bumps--especially on 2500 and Heavy Duty models. Pickups with the optional electronic suspension are less prone to this jittery ride.

Steering/Handling/Braking
Brakes offer a firm feel and progressive pedal action, while steering is precise despite too much power assist.

Controls
Sierra follows Silverado with gauges and controls that are best in class for design, feel, and location. We also like the engine-hour meter that supplements the usual mileage odometer.

Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
All models have roomy and supportive front seats with handy integrated safety belts that are always comfortably positioned. However, drivers with thick forearms will have trouble squeezing between the door panel and seat to reach the adjustment controls.

GM's big extendeds also soundly trouce rivals for rear leg clearance and boast a contoured rear bench seat with reclined backrest that provides almost sedanlike comfort.

Cargo Room
GMC (Chevy too) has finally caught up with Ford and Dodge in the extended-cab "door race", and its doors not only open wide but have robust exterior pull handles instead of slip-prone flippers. A standard spare-tire lock is another plus.

Pricing Key: Retail prices listed with each report are set by the vehicle's
manufacturer. These figures appear on each car's federally mandated window sticker.
Most price lists also include dealer-invoice prices. Dealer-invoice prices are
what the dealer pays the manufacturer for the car and its factory-installed options.
The destination charge is not included in the suggested-retail or dealer-invoice price
and must be added to the cost of the vehicle. Car companies change prices frequently
throughout the year. If the prices published do not match those on the vehicle's
window sticker, the manufacturer has probably altered the price recently.
NA = price note available, NC = no charge.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) tests a vehicle's
worthiness in front- and side-impact collisions and rates its resistance to
rollovers. Front-impact crash-test numbers indicate the chance of serious injury:
5 = 10% or less; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-35%; 2 = 35-45%; 1 = More than 45%. Side-impact
crash-test numbers indicate: 5 = 5% or less; 4 = 6-10%; 3 = 11-20%; 2 = 21-25%;
1 = More than 26%. Rollover resistance numbers indicate the chance for rollover
when the vehicle leaves the roadway: 5 = Less than 10%; 4 = 10-20%; 3 = 20-30%;
2 = 30-40%; 1 = More than 40%.
