2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Review
More standard features and midyear introduction of a light-duty Crew Cab and Limited Appearance Package highlight 2004 for these full-size pickups. This report covers the half-ton 1500-series Silverados, which offer regular-, extended-, and crew-cab body styles. Extendeds have rear-hinged back doors that don't open independently of the fronts. Crew cabs have four conventional doors. Both include a 3-person rear bench seat. All but regular cabs offer front bucket seats vs. a bench. Regulars and extendeds are available with 6.6- and 8.0-ft Fleetside conventional cargo beds or a 6.6-ft Sportside flare-fender box. The new half-ton Crew Cab is nearly one foot shorter than the previous 1500 Heavy Duty Crew Cab, which for '04 is redesignated as a 2500-series model. The new 1500 Crew Cab uses a 5.8-ft cargo box and is virtually the same length overall as the extended-cab short-bed model.
Regulars and extendeds have a 4.3-liter V6 and offer 4.8- and 5.3-liter V8s. The new light-duty Crew Cab comes with the 5.3 V8. Crews and extendeds include automatic transmission with GM's Tow/Haul mode. Regulars offer manual transmission or optional automatic. Traction control is available on rear-wheel-drive versions. Two 4WD systems are available, both with low-range gearing. The base 4WD setup must be disengaged on dry pavement. GM's Autotrac 4WD can be left engaged on dry pavement. Antilock 4-wheel disc brakes are standard. A Ride Control Suspension option offers two levels of shock-absorber firmness to suit road or load. Optional for extendeds is GM's Quadrasteer 4-wheel steering. It tightens the turning radius at low speeds and is designed to improve stability at higher speeds or when towing. A special flare-fender short box is included.
For '04, cruise control, power door locks, and CD player are newly standard on base Silverados. Crew Cabs continue to offer optional rear DVD entertainment, and satellite radio is available for most models. Top-line LT versions include OnStar assistance. The Silverado SS is a short-bed extended cab with a 345-hp 6.0 V8, all-wheel drive, 20-inch wheels, performance tires, and special trim. Added midyear was a Limited Appearance Package for 2WD LS and LT models that includes sport suspension and 20-inch chrome wheels. Silverados share a basic design with GMC Sierras, which include the luxury-oriented AWD Denali with standard Quadrasteer.

News
As promised, Silverado adds a fuel-saving hybrid powertrain for 2005. It's restricted to a lone half-ton 2WD Crew Cab logically called the Silverado Hybrid Truck. A similar GMC Sierra will also be available starting in fall 2004. A so-called "mild hybrid" system uses an electric motor as a starter/generator and to assist a gasoline V8 in full-throttle acceleration, but doesn't run the truck on electricity alone. However, the 42-volt electrical system operates electrohydraulic power steering and two 120-volt outlets in the bed; it also allows running the climate system with the engine stopped. The starter/generator shuts down the engine on coming to a stop and provides near-instantaneous restarts on applying the throttle. GM projects 10-15 percent better fuel economy for EPA ratings of 18 city, 23 highway. The '05 hybrid is said to cost $2500-$3000 more than a comparably equipped conventional model.
A "strong hybrid" system will part of Silverado's full redesign for 2007. Here, a pair of 40-hp motors and a 300-volt battery pack team with a 5.3-liter gasoline V8 boasting GM's Displacement on Demand technology. DOD is designed to shut down four cylinders as a further fuel-saver in highway cruising and other light-throttle driving. Unlike the interim "mild hybrid," this system should allow running on electricity, gasoline or both. GM expects an economy jump of 30-35 percent for EPA city mileage of around 20 mpg.
The coming redesign affects all of GM's full-size pickups and SUVs. The recent Cheyenne concept suggests burly new in-your-face styling for the '07 Silverado, plus more built-in storage for the cab and bed. Powerteams will be updated with DOD and perhaps more displacement for some engines.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
Silverado or Sierra, V6 struggles except in light-duty work. We recommend a V8. Smooth, alert automatic transmission's useful Tow/Haul mode adjusts shift points for best performance with heavy loads. Silverado SS and similarly powered Sierra Denali deliver quick standing starts, swift passing, and AWD grip. We have not yet tested the new 1500 Crew Cab.

Fuel Economy
Par for the class. Test 2WD regular cab with 4.8-liter V8 averaged 16.8 mpg in mostly highway driving. Test 4WD extended cab with 5.3 V8 averaged 13.7-16.2 mpg. Test Silverado SS averaged 14 mpg. Sierra Denalis averaged 13.3-14.5 mpg in city/highway mix. All models tested had automatic transmission. All engines use regular fuel.

Ride Quality
Generally more compliant than equivalent Ford F-150s, but still stiff and bouncy except on glass-smooth surfaces. And as with any pickup, the tail stutters some over bumps with an empty bed.

Steering/Handling/Braking
Good overall balance for big trucks--a match for any rival. Steering accurate, though less precise than Ford's. Traction control and Autotrac 4WD are both important aids on even moderately slick surfaces. Quadrasteer provides carlike maneuvering ease in tight spots and enhances towing stability.

Controls
Gauge layout top-notch, as is switch placement and feel, though windshield wipers deserve their own control instead of being crowded onto turn-signal lever. GM provides engine-hour-meter supplement to usual odometer. Decor ranges from utilitarian vinyl to soft leather, but all share plastic trim panels that suffer lightweight feel in places.

Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
Ample big-American space. Even regular cabs have good rearward seat travel, seatback recline, and adequate clearance to rear window. Supportive seats have integrated safety belts most testers find comfortably positioned, easy to reach.

Good leg clearance, comfortably angled seatback make GM's extended cabs among the most-accommodating full-size pickups. The 1500 Crew Cab's dimensions are the same as for the 2500 Crew Cab; this passenger compartment is spacious and comfortable.

Value within Class
These Chevy and GMC trucks have top-flight powertrains, cabs and beds to fit most any need, hospitable interiors, and the advantage of 4WD that can be left engaged on dry pavement. And no other big pickups offer 4-wheel steering. Factor in competitive pricing, and Silverado and Sierra are easy 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.
