TIMES HAVE CHANGED. SO HAS YOUR PICKUP.
What you expect from your pickup has changed. Chevy Silverado hasn’t only kept pace with your changing demands, it’s led the way with
innovative engineering and technology that delivers everything from excellent fuel effi ciency and enhanced driver control to high-strength steel
and the latest electronics. All you have to do is take a look at the cutting-edge Two-Mode Hybrid System on Silverado Hybrid to see how far
Chevy’s full-size pickup has come. But there are plenty of other highlights, from the 403 horsepower Vortec 6.2L V8 available on 1500 Series
pickups, to the massively capable Duramax® 6.6L V8 Turbo Diesel that’s available on 2500HD and 3500HD Regular and Crew Cab models.
It produces an astounding 660 lb.-ft. of torque. The safety is also worthy of note, with StabiliTrak®, head curtain side-impact and seat-mounted
side-impact air bags now standard on all 1500s and the highest possible U.S. government frontal and side-impact crash ratings.* What hasn’t
changed is Chevy’s rock-solid dependability, as the most dependable, longest-lasting full-size pickups on the road.** The 2011 Chevy Silverado. |

THE GAME HASN’T JUST CHANGED – IT’S BEEN REINVENTED.
You can throw out the old rulebook – and with it your assumptions about how green a pickup can be. Still think capability has to come
at the expense of fuel efficiency? Then you need to fi nd out more about the Silverado Hybrid. It features what is certainly one of the
world’s most sophisticated technologies: the Two-Mode Hybrid System. The Two Modes make it possible for this hybrid to provide
optimal power and fuel effi ciency in a wide range of driving situations, combining output from the Vortec 6.0L LIVC V8 VVT gas
engine with the electric power generated by GM’s Hybrid Electric Propulsion System. The result is an amazing 10.5 L/100 km city fuel
consumption rating* that is comparable to many mid-size sedans. This from a pickup that is also impressively capable with Gross
Vehicle Weight Ratings up to 3311 kg (7300 lb.). And you can take full advantage of towing capacities up to 2767 kg (6100 lb.), thanks to
the standard Trailering Special Equipment Package. It’s no longer a level playing fi eld – ever since the introduction of Silverado Hybrid |

WHAT’S IN THE BOX IS AS IMPRESSIVE AS WHAT’S IN THE CAB.
Before focusing attention on the creature comforts and quality appointments in the roomy quarters of Silverado 1500 Crew Cab, let’s cut straight
to the chase. Silverado Crew Cabs offer remarkable hauling capabilities. With the available MAX Trailering Package, you get a maximum trailering
capacity of up to 4808 kg (10,600 lb.) and payload capacities of up to 873 kg (1924 lb.). It isn’t just a question of how much you can load into the
box – it’s also how easy it is to load, thanks in part to the available EZ Lift tailgate and low bed fl oor height. Inside the cab, you’ll notice more than
comfortable accommodations for up to six. Models equipped with either the Vortec 5.3L or 6.2L V8 engines feature a standard six-speed automatic
transmission with two fuel-saving overdrive gears. One more example of how Silverado helps you get even more into and out of your pickup. |
 |
AMENITIES OR NECESSITIES? YOU DECIDE.
All Silverado Crew Cabs share generous interior space for both front and rear passengers, as well as easy access through four large, wideopening
doors. Where the Crew Cab models differ is in their levels of comfort and convenience, from the remote keyless entry system and power
amenities on the new Cheyenne Edition, to the remote vehicle starter system, heated power 10-way leather-appointed front bucket seats and
automatic dual-zone climate control system in LTZ models. You can take it one step further with options like the DVD navigation system and
Rearview Camera System. Silverado gives you the choice: you decide what matters to you and spec out your truck accordingly. |

WELL ENGINEERED. AND WELL THOUGHT OUT.
Silverado Extended Cab has all the hard-working capabilities you expect from a Chevy Truck, with a foundation provided by its three-piece
modular frame. The frame isn’t only tremendously strong on 1500 models, its rigid boxed frame rails contribute to an exceptionally smooth
ride. No question: These are trucks that are designed to be as functional as they are capable. Just take note of how the large rear doors open
a full 170 degrees and how the rear seat folds up to provide secure interior cargo capacity. LTZ models also include a 20 litre front storage
console. There’s even an available power sliding rear window to increase airfl ow through the cab. It just goes to show how a pickup this well
engineered is also this thoughtfully designed. |
 |
IT’S STILL WORK. ONLY LESS SO.
Silverado Regular Cab Work Truck can’t reduce your workload, but it can make getting the job done that much easier. That’s thanks to
functional features like an easily removable tailgate, four cargo tie-downs, stake pockets, two-tier loading capability and cargo bulkheads.
You can make the cargo box even more versatile with the available integrated Cargo Management System. It makes it simple to reconfigure
the box using sliding hooks mounted on the C-channel tracks on the sides and front of the box. Each track is rated up to 227 kg (500 lb.). The
system also features an available metal mesh cargo divider that lets you easily redistribute your loads inside the box and prevent them from
shifting. That’s sure to help you take a load off. |

EARNS AN A+ IN COMMUNICATIONS.
What makes a great truck in 2011? It requires a sophisticated suite of the latest communications and entertainment technologies. Which
is exactly what you’ll fi nd in the 2011 Silverado. Just glance at the lengthy list of standard and optional equipment. It includes everything
from OnStar® with one year of the Safe & Sound Plan* to Bluetooth® wireless mobile phone connectivity – and a CD player with MP3
playback and a USB port to a Bose® premium sound system with an in-dash six-disc CD changer and XM Satellite RadioTM.** Of course, being
Silverado the communications also have a highly functional side – the standard Driver Information Centre includes digital readouts on many
useful functions, such as engine hours logged, transmission oil temperature and oil life remaining. Upgrade your own communications,
with the assistance of Silverado. |

MEET THE STRONG,
SILENT TYPE.
The frame is central to so many aspects of a pickup’s
capabilities. The philosophy behind Silverado’s
advanced three-piece modular frame can be
summarized in a few words: provide strength
where it’s needed most. That means different frame
sections are used, each with distinct properties.
Some provide additional reinforcement to support
heavier load requirements, while others help to
conserve weight, reducing fuel consumption. Not
that strength and weight reduction are the only
benefits of this frame – its unyielding torsional
rigidity contributes to a smooth and exceptionally
quiet ride. And for 2011, all Silverado 1500 models
offer another unwavering feature: the StabiliTrak
electronic stability control system is standard.
Strong, silent and stable – Silverado 1500. |

HEAVY-DUTY ISN’T
A DESCRIPTION,
IT’S A MANDATE.
A heavy-duty pickup is a totally different beast. It
needs to haul much larger loads. It needs to house
larger displacement engines. To satisfy those heavyduty
demands, Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD
pickups employ advanced frame components, like
the high-strength steel in the mid-section and a
hydroformed front section. Hydroforming achieves
several objectives simultaneously; it reduces the
stretching and subsequent weakening of the steel
during the forming process, while also making the
frame lighter than the welded boxed steel used in
conventional frames. The pickups that deserve to be
called heavy-duty: Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD. |
 |
A CRASH COURSE IN SAFETY.
It takes a series of integrated safety measures and technologies to earn the highest possible
U.S. government frontal and side-impact crash test ratings.* Silverado earned this distinction
through features that include a 360° safety system that uses a network of collision sensors
around the perimeter of the truck. Other occupant protection equipment includes standard
head curtain side-impact air bags and side guard door beams. Silverado is also engineered to
protect the occupants of smaller vehicles should a collision occur, thanks to the car compatibility
bracket. And the sophisticated OnStar system** with Automatic Crash Response and Automatic
Air Bag Deployment Response is standard on all
models. Want to study up on the latest safety
equipment? Then take a close look at Silverado. |

MORE THAN THE RIGHT ENGINE – THE RIGHT ENGINE LINEUP.
Engineering and building a powerful, yet fuel effi cient and technologically advanced engine is one thing. Offering you an extensive lineup
of more than seven sophisticated engines, each with its own combination of output and fuel effi ciency, is another proposition altogether.
Because for you that translates into fi nding the right blend of characteristics for the way you use your truck. The Silverado 1500 lineup
extends up to the 403 horsepower Vortec 6.2L V8. With the available Max Trailering Package, 1500 towing capacities range up to a massive
4854 kg (10,700 lb.). As to be expected, the 2500HD and 3500HD pickups deliver even more impressive numbers. The Duramax 6.6L V8
Turbo Diesel, available on Regular and Crew Cab HD pickups, is mated with the Allison® 6-speed automatic transmission to produce an
awesome 660 lb.-ft. of torque. Fifth-wheel trailering capacities go all the way up to 7484 kg (16,500 lb.). And a host of advanced fuel-saving
technologies, from Active Fuel Management and Variable Valve Timing to the leading-edge Two-Mode Hybrid System, help make Silverados
cost-effective to own and operate. |
