If you want to drive a truck that's "like a rock," choose one of the nation's most dependable and long-lasting pickups: the Chevrolet Silverado. Many drivers still hear the old Bob Seger song echo in their heads when they see the broad-shouldered beast in action. Whether you choose a 2011 Chevy Silverado, a 2010 Silverado or any earlier model, you will be making a smart investment in a reliable and value-packed truck. The Silverado 1500 makes heads turn with a number of distinct design changes that stand out from the previous year's model. With numerous trim options, body styles and a low starting MSRP, the 2012 Chevy Silverado is an attractive option over trucks like the Ford F-150, Toyota Tundra and Dodge Ram.
The Silverado comes in three body styles: regular cab, extended cab and crew cab; and each comes with several trim levels. You can find the new 2012 Chevrolet Silverado at AZ Car Central's list of Phoenix Chevy dealerships in handsome colors like White Diamond Tricoat, Imperial Blue Metallic, Victory Red and Summit White.
General Motors produced some of the first "muscle" and crew cab trucks in the 1930s. Built on a solid, decades old platform, the Silverado is still one of the most well-regarded trucks in the industry. Whether you need to tow a boat or haul a trailer, the 2012 Silverado can handle the job without breaking a sweat. Truck buyers will find several engine setups on the Silverado 1500. The Work Truck trim is powered by a 195 horsepower 4.3-liter V6 with 260 pound-feet of torque. Following this, the LS trim is outfitted with a 4.8-liter V8 that generates 302 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque. The Work Truck can also be outfitted with the 4.8-liter V8 or a 315-horsepower, 5.3-liter V8 with 335 pound-feet of torque. Depending on the LT trim's body style, it may have either V8 as standard. Next up, the LTZ comes standard with the 5.3-liter V8. In addition to this, a 6.2-liter V8 which generates 403 horsepower and 417 pound-feet of torque is available on select models.

The 2012 Chevrolet Silverado hybrid is another terrific option. Its 6.0-liter V8, dual 60-kilowatt electric motors and nickel-metal hydride battery pack deliver truly impressive fuel economy.
