2014 Silverado Launch Gains Momentum

The 2014 Silverado launch continues to gain momentum. We have excellent availability on all of the body styles—regular cab, double cab, and crew cab—with a variety of trim levels. This includes work trucks, LS, LT, and LTZ models, with two all-new engines, a V6 and V8.

The new Double Cab replaces the Extended Cab and features conventional front-hinged rear doors with outside door handles. A big change from the Extended Cab, the new configuration makes the truck stronger (due to the central pillar the rear doors are hinged from,) quieter, and safer in a side-impact crash.

The EcoTec3 engines are all-new, with Direct Injection, Active Fuel Management, and Variable Valve Timing. Together, these three advanced technologies provide more power, higher fuel economy, and smoother and quieter operation. The 5.3 liter V8 has significantly more power than the previous 5.3, while gaining fuel economy. This engine is more economical than Ford’s Ecoboost V6 without resorting to twin turbochargers which are hugely expensive to replace.

Maybe the biggest engine surprise, however, is the near-silent and very powerful V6. One would never guess that there’s a V6 under the hood without opening it.

The all-new Silverado—Smarter, Stronger, More Capable. If you haven’t driven one yet, stop in for a drive!
