2008-2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Regular Cab
Half-Ton Truck
This generation of the Silverado has been praised for offering a wide range of engines mixed with a capable truck chassis. This two-door version seats up to three people (other versions of the Silverado can seat up to six) and offers nearly 15 cubic feet more cargo area than the standard bed. Off-road capabilities are enhanced with an optional full 4x4 drivetrain with low-range transfer case. When it was new, Consumer Reports recommended this truck, and JD Power recognized it for initial quality.
