As Christmas trees are being taken down and
ladders are being hauled out to remove the festive lights of the season, many
thoughts will turn to the raw and unadulterated power of newly available
trucks. There is nothing better than knowing that you have a trusty vehicle on
hand that you can not only rely on, but also know has the best of the best in
safety features and technology offerings for productivity. The most reliable
trucks in the world are guaranteed to win multiple awards, and so we are not
surprised that the 2019 Silverado
is once again adding to its large stack of hailed recognition.
Now added to the Wards 10 Best Engines Award segment,
the 6.2-Liter V8 makes use of industry-leading Dynamic Fuel Management, or DFM,
to save fuel without skimping on power potential. This truck is a true example
of how engineers continue to put in precious overtime to find ways to improve
overall efficiency, without exchanging a valuable performance commodity in
return. To drive the pickup down the highway, it only takes as few as two
cylinders, and the only thing the driver notices is fewer stops to spend
hard-earned cash on filling up at the pump. In regards to the stiff
competition, WardsAuto editors take every all-new or improved engine situated
in production vehicles in the U.S. That have a starting MSRP less than $64,000.
The vehicles are then carefully scored on torque, technology, fuel economy, and
characteristics of noise.
These are the first two V-8's available with the
revolutionary Dynamic Fuel Management technology. Featuring a startling 17
cylinder patterns, the system can greatly optimize efficiency, and level of
power delivery at all speeds. This game-changing and very modern means of
delivery was introduced in 2005, and the true amazement factor lies in the
method of power disbursement: the best balance in power and fuel economy that
exists. The 6.2-Liter with DFM is the most powerful gas V-8 in its segment and
is manufactured in New York at GM's bustling Tonawanda engine plant.
The 2019 Silverado sports a wheelbase that is up
to 3.9 inches longer, and an overall length increased by 1.6 inches. This
allows for more cargo volume, and more interior room allocated for every single
cab length. One massive achievement that really delivers the “wow factor” is
its weight: it now weighs 450 pounds less than the outgoing model. The review
staff on duty at Boston.com claimed that “nothing beats sheer
size” when it comes to trucks, and praised next year's model for its noticeably
larger stature.
Writer Liz Kim also thought that the shoulder,
leg, and headroom were of the “amazing” caliber for rear seating, and also
praised the practicality of the lightweight aluminum power-down tailgate. When
you come to pay us a post-holiday visit here at Chuck Hutton, don't forget to
check out the 120-volt power outlet in the bed of the new Silverado, precise
steering during a test drive, and tie-down hooks rated to handle 500 pounds of
force! Many hard-working men and women will love the dual-tiered glove
compartment as well as rear under seat storage, and the bottom rear seat
cushion flips up to provide the optimum in usable cab-cargo space. We tend to
stand by what we deem is the best and most durable here in Memphis, and the
coming Silverado is going to be making waves with those who need nothing short
of a fully-fledged and tech-laden tank in their possession!
