No details offered, but they did feel more refined than the Ranchos. An almost full suite of driver aids, including adaptive cruise and autonomous emergency braking, leads the equipment list, but full amenities, an efficient and powerful petrol V8 and acres of cabin space and storage are all reasons why the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ could be a tipping point for these behemoths on local roads.Let the numbers do the talking. Six airbags, front and rear, park assist and intelligent high-beam LED headlights are also included.Standard comfort equipment includes dual-zone climate control with adjustable rear vents, leather trim, 10-way adjustable heated and perforated front seats (including driver memory), heated outboard rear seats, wireless phone charging, MyLink infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a power sunroof, side steps, remote start, a power-operated lift-gate and a spray-in bedliner.Standards wheels are 20-inch polished alloys fitted with 275/60R20 all-terrain rubber, but options exist up to 22-inches.However, a few things drop off the US spec in the left to right-hand drive conversion process. The truck has Chevrolet's MyLink infotainment system within an 8.0-inch colour touch screen that features navigation, Bluetooth streaming, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and voice activation. A longer wheelbase and wide, muscular stance provide a powerful base. The seats too are large with good support, comfort and adjustability from the all-electric 10-way controls with the added bonus of being heated and cooled. We were in the 14.5L/100km range without really trying. The HSV Chevrolet Silverado 2500 makes you feel like the King of the Road.
And here’s where the US to Australia dollar conversion conversations inevitably come in…The reality is importing vehicles from North America, converting them locally and achieving full certification costs lots of money. HSV has poured millions into the development and re-engineering of the Silverado and it shows in the end product. The numbers are staggering: it’s more than 6 metres long, as wide as a Kenworth truck, and has a 15.7 metre turning circle. I hire a small ute from bunnings that takes 1T in the back. Something like this would be superb for an around Australia expedition.But as a day-to-day driver? It’s a low speed system that works from 8-80km/h. Suffice to say it’ll tow more than a Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series ($84,800 to $123,500) and our current crop of utes which max out at 3500kg.The Chevrolet Silverado isn’t about to challenge Toyota HiLux sales but expect to see plenty on Aussie roads. The six-speed Allison gearbox is almost faultless for this type of car with good shift quality and intuitive logic.The interior is more than a simple cut-and-shut conversion job, with every aspect of the dash either changed or re-engineered. Rolling on an independent front end and solid rear axle supported by leaf springs, there’s an irresistible force of nature about this thing once it enters a bend.The engine is strong, but obviously can’t overwhelm the mass it must haul. It's a massive undertaking, but one that masks its origins superbly and with great quality. All doors have plenty of storage space with two separate compartments in each, there is a humungous centre console that has shelving which can be moved around as well as two 12 volt outlets, two USB ports and a AUX port inside. Chevrolet Silverado review: we test Holden’s giant US pick-up. The highly efficient 10-speed automatic transmission provides impressive refinement and performance, including enhanced acceleration and torque delivery while towing and comes standard with auto stop/start technology and Dynamic Fuel Management. The Autotrac 4WD transfer case has an automatic mode where it seamlessly delivers power to the front wheels based on the road conditions and driving style.
Skid-resistant surface helps prevent cargo from sliding. Not for me thanks. The rear seat has ample room for three passengers to sit comfortably although it was disappointing that there are no A/C vents in the rear for such a large cabin.
Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 2018 Review Why HSV’s remanufactured American pick-up is worth its $115K starting price. When properly equipped, the 2020 Silverado 1500 can tow up to 13,400 pounds—1200 more than the strongest outgoing model. The ride is helped by the massive 3745mm wheelbase and becomes more settled with a load onboard. The Silverado’s operations are utterly conventional, apart from the column-mounted gear shifter that protrudes from the right-side of the steering column.At least the perceived material quality is high, even soft to the touch in places.Happily, unlike many dual-cab utes, the Silverado’s steering column does adjust for reach and rake. The driveline feels indestructible, and when you look underneath the vehicle everything is massive; the engine, gearbox/transfer case, exhaust, and even the tail shaft is three times the diameter of a regular dual-cab 4x4.There's no petrol V8 option available in Australia, and no rear passenger A/C vents, plus it can be hard to find parking spots big enough to accommodate. By the time you add freight from the Flint Michigan factory gate, the addition of 530 unique parts engineered and fitted locally, 100 hours of labour, currency exchange rates, and dealer delivery fees, it’s closer to $145,000 on the road here.With 332kW of power and a mind-boggling 1234Nm of torque, the 6.6-litre turbo diesel V8 makes light work of this 3.5-tonne beast.
