Powertrain Options and Availability
Silverados came with a choice of four engines, each driving a four-speed automatic transmission. The 4.3-liter V6 made 195 horsepower, versus 295, 315, and 367 for the three V8 engine possibilities. Some versions of the 5.3-liter V8 were E85-capable. Rear-wheel drive was standard, but two 4WD systems were available.
