Chevrolet Silverado – monster from Michigan

• 
  401 hp or 445 hp. Petrol V6 or Diesel V8. There are two engines to choose from for the Silverado. In more than 1200 Nm of torque!
• 
  Compared to its predecessor, the car has grown in every direction. The longest version is about 6.4 m long
• 
  To protect the engine, a driver warning system against premature shutdown is installed. If the driver ignores the alarm, the engine will restart automatically

Here is a real work horse to pull and pull almost everything that the standard and famous American pictures can not handle. The Silverado hides a powerful car under its large hood. A 6.6 liter V6 petrol engine with 401 hp is fitted as standard. If that’s not enough, you can order the 6.6-liter V8 Duramax diesel engine, which has increased to 445 hp. However, it’s not the power that should scare you, but the torque. In the case of the more powerful engine, 910 lb-ft is available, which is more than 1200 Nm!

The right gearbox has to cope with such a large torque. The Silverado has an Allison 10-speed automatic, which is reserved only for the most powerful engine. In the weaker version with a power of 401 hp, a six-speed gearbox is installed.
