2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Review
Chevrolet's full-size pickup gets more V8 power for 2000, and a fourth door is now standard instead of optional on extended-cab models. Silverado continues in regular and extended cabs, 2- or 4-wheel drive, and base, LS, and LT trim. GMC's Sierra offers a parallel lineup with slightly different styling, features mix, and pricing. This report covers the half-ton 1500-series models.
The extended cab's driver-side rear door was a $330 option and supplemented a standard passenger-side rear door. The driver-side door became standard at midyear and extended-cabs got a $330 base-price increase. These doors are hinged at the back and do not open independently of the front doors. Extended-cabs come with a three-passenger rear bench seat. Both cab styles offer flush-fender Fleetside cargo boxes of 6.5 or 8.1 feet; a 6.5-foot flare-fender Sportside box is available on base and LS models. All Silverados come with antilock 4-wheel disc brakes. A class exclusive shared with GMC is optional adjustable ride control with two levels of shock absorber firmness to suit road or load.
A 4.3-liter V6 repeats as base power, while the available 4.8- and 5.3-liter V8s gain 15 horsepower each. All engines team with manual or optional automatic transmission; the latter features GM's Tow/Haul mode that adjusts shift points to maximize power under heavy loads. Silverado's optional AutoTrac is the only 4-wheel-drive system on a full-size pickup that can be left engaged on dry pavement. It can be locked in 4WD or allowed to automatically engage the front axle when rear-wheel slip is detected. Low-range gearing is provided.
LT models gain a self-dimming inside mirror for 2000. New options include wheel flares for 4x4s and a factory-fit cargo bed cover.

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 one-ton and heavy-duty 3/4-ton pickups 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
The V6 engine struggles under a heavy load or up long grades, but it's a smooth runner, as are the V8s. Our choice is the 5.3-liter engine, which has good power in all conditions.
| Base reg. cab 2WD, V6 | LS ext. cab 2WD, 4.8 V8 | LT ext. cab 4WD, 5.3 V8 | Class Average |

Fuel Economy
Fuel economy is about par for this class. We averaged 13.7 mpg with extended-cab 4WD models with the 5.3 V8 and automatic transmission; a 2WD 5.3 returned 12.6 with more city driving.

Ride Quality
Ride quality is firm but seldom jarring, even in 4x4 form. Tail still stutters over bumps with the bed empty.

Steering/Handling/Braking
Steering is fairly precise despite being overboosted. Handling is capable and the optional adjustable suspension improves stability when hauling or towing.

Controls
Design, feel, and location of gauges and controls is as good as any in this class, and GM supplements the odometer with an engine-hour meter.

Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
Roomy and supportive. Integrated safety belts move comfortably with the seats. Regular-cab models allow good seat travel, seatback recline, and clearance to rear window.

Room/Comfort (rear)
Extended cabs offer class-leading accommodations, with greater leg clearance and more comfortable seating than any competitor. We strongly recommend the optional fourth door.

Cargo Room
Extended-cabs provide fine storage with the rear bench seat folded up, though they lack bins, nets, or protective flooring. Behind-seat room in regular-cab beats Ford, trails Dodge.

Value within Class
They're a step behind Ford in innovations such as a half-ton crew cab, but in performance, comfort, design, and pricing, Silverado and Sierra are Best Buys.

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.
