2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Review
The 2008 Chevrolet Silverado gets a minor instrument panel revision. These large trucks were redesigned for the 2007 model year, along with the similar GMC Sierra. Silverado offers regular, extended, and crew-cab body styles. Extended cabs have rear-hinged doors that don't open independently of the fronts. Regular cabs can seat up to three passengers, while extendeds and crews can seat up to six. The 2008 Chevrolet Silverado offers two interiors, dubbed "pure pickup" and "luxury inspired." Available engines, depending on cab/bed configuration, are a 195-hp 4.3-liter V6, 295-hp 4.8-liter V8, 315-hp 5.3-liter V8, and 367-hp 6.0-liter V8. The 5.3-liter V8 can be equipped to run on E85 ethanol fuel. It and the 6.0-liter V8 come with GM's Active Fuel Management cylinder deactivation. The only available transmission is a 4-speed automatic. Maximum towing capacity is 10,500 lb. Rear-wheel drive is standard. Two 4WD systems are available: a part-time setup that should not be left engaged on dry pavement, and GM's Autotrac that can. Both include low-range gearing. Silverado is available with four different suspensions. The Z83 and Z85 versions are designed for ride comfort. The Z60 is a street performance suspension, and the Z71 is for off-road use. Available safety features include: ABS, traction control, antiskid system, and curtain side airbags. For 2008, the pure pickup interior gets a slightly revised instrument panel. Available features include a navigation system and remote engine start.
Competition
Consumer Guide Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Large Pickup Trucks are traditionally the vehicles of choice for heavy-duty hauling and towing. They offer an array of cab styles and bed lengths and usually feature powerful V8 or diesel engines. For personal use, consider light-duty half-ton models. For heavy-duty or commercial use, consider three-quarter- or one-ton models.
We have no Best Buys in this class. Our Recommended picks are the Chevrolet Avalanche, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Ford F-150, GMC Sierra 1500, and Toyota Tundra.

News
This redesign uses the "GMT900" large-truck architecture introduced with the '07 Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban SUVs and their relatives. A hybrid power option is planned for late 2008. The result of a GM-DaimlerChrysler-BMW collaboration, this so-called "two-mode" system is said to use twin electric motors and a 300-volt battery pack to assist a 5.3 V8 with GM's Active Fuel Management cylinder-shutoff feature. It allows low-speed driving on either power source, and promises better overall fuel economy than conventional powertrains.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
Acceleration with the 5.3-liter V8 is more than adequate at all speeds, aided by the smooth-shifting transmission that kicks down quickly for more power. The available 6.0-liter V8 has a surplus of highway response, though the transmission sometimes hesitated to kick down for appropriate passing punch. The standard tow/haul mode adjusts shift points for best performance with heavy loads.

Fuel Economy
Silverado is among the most frugal large pickups. In Consumer Guide testing, a rear-drive extended-cab with the 5.3 V8 averaged 15.6 mpg in city/highway driving. With the 6.0-liter V8, a 4WD extended cab averaged 14.4 mpg in mostly highway driving. All Silverados use regular-grade gas. Some versions of the 5.3-liter V8 can run on E85 ethanol.

Ride Quality
The ride-oriented Z85 suspension is compliant and fairly comfortable, with less reverberation over bumps than in most pickups. The optional Z60 suspension includes 20-inch tires (vs. standard 17s) and is stiffer in all situations. Firmer still is the off-road-ready Z71, which exhibits much choppiness on road over pavement cracks and washboard surfaces.

Steering/Handling/Braking
With the Z85 suspension, Silverado handles similarly to other large pickups, with noticeable body lean in fast turns. The Z60 and Z71 suspensions improve handling slightly. The steering is nicely weighted, if a bit numb. The brakes are responsive, though one test example suffered from slightly spongy pedal action.

Quietness
A strength. The 5.3-liter V8 sounds refined, as does the 6.0 V8, though the latter is a bit louder at full throttle. Road noise is kept in check. Wind noise is only a slight intrusion at highway speeds.

Controls
The Pure Pickup interior places radio and climate controls high on the dashboard, just out of easy reach. The available luxury interior mimics that of Chevy's Tahoe and Suburban large SUVs, with controls mounted lower but in easy reach. The optional navigation system absorbs some audio functions, but higher trim levels offer redundant controls on the steering wheel.

Details
Despite its work-truck intentions, the materials on Silverados with the Pure Pickup interior don't look bargain basement. The luxury interior has dressier trim. Despite ample use of hard plastics with the luxury trim, the ambiance is still upscale.

Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
Ample adult room. Bucket or bench, the seats are comfortable if somewhat lacking in side support. Visibility is generally good, though the extended cab has wide rear pillars that block the view to the back corners. Available power-adjustable pedals are a boon for shorter drivers.

Room/Comfort (rear)
With front bucket seats, the center console restricts toe space for the center rear-seat passenger. Headroom is generous, however. Ditto for legroom in the crew cab. The extended cab's seatback is set at a comfortable angle, but legroom is tight even if the front seats aren't set far back. Extended's wide-opening rear doors are a convenience in tight spaces and offer power windows, but if fully open, the doors can't be closed by a seated passenger.

Cargo Room
In extendeds and crew cabs, the rear seat cushion flips back against seatback leaving a large cargo area with a nearly flat floor. Pure Pickup interior features upper and lower gloveboxes; luxury version has only the lower one. Bucket seats come with a roomy console bin. Bench seat is available with flip-down center armrest that doubles as a large storage bin.

Value within Class
A lengthy list of available features, including 4WD that can be used on dry pavement, make Silverado a Recommended choice for anyone shopping large pickups. Unless you frequently tow heavy loads, the exceptionally refined 5.3-liter V8 should provide more than enough power for most needs.

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.
