Silverado
From the job site to the camp site, from the
farm to the city, from the mine, all the way
home, you’ll find this long-lasting, dependable
truck doing it all – every day. The new Chevy
Silverado is designed without compromise.
Imagine all the benefits of superior power
and torque, along with higher payload and
trailering, without having to compromise on
your desire for enviable style and luxurious
comfort. Sounds too good to be true, right?
Think again! The new 2012 Chevy Silverado
is all that and more. An impressive evolution
of its predecessor and miles ahead of any
competitor on the market, it’s the most
powerful, stylish and highly-evolved
heavy-duty ever made.
The numbers speak for themselves.
A 296KW/1037n.m Duramax 6.6L V8 Turbo
Diesel Engine, Allison 6 speed transmission,
up to 10,433kg max. towing capacity, up to
3273kg* payload (*3500 specific version) and a
136L tank, capable of taking you 1094km, the
Silverado is a powerful beast, ready to meet
even the toughest of challenges. The Highway
fuel efficiency and NOx emission values are
equally impressive… not to mention the fact
that it’s biodiesel compatible.
And if unparalleled power and seemingly
impossible efficiency isn’t enough to win you
over, the Silverado also boasts one of the
smoothest and most comfortable rides in
its class. The chassis has a high-strength,
fully-boxed steel frame, with five times torsional
rigidity, while the suspension has the strongest
and most robust components to increase load
capacity and improve overall travel comfort
and ride quality. And in the words of the
manufacturer “You don’t saw logs with a steak
knife. You don’t cut hay with a garden tractor.
And you don’t haul precious cargo with just
any truck. Silverado HD is at its best towing
gooseneck and fifth-wheel trailers of varying
sizes up the a best-in-class 10,433kg*”
The superior exhaust break system, with
intelligent brake assist, offers precision as
well as increased safety and peace of mind,
making the Silverado experience stronger,
safer and more advanced than any other
truck in its class.
Strength and power aren’t the only strings to
the Silverado’s bow either. While the robust yet
sleek exterior, which is practical, durable and
capable of turning heads, makes no attempt
at hiding the power that lies within, the interior
is a stunning cocoon of luxury that is bursting
with comfort and features. Complete with
leather seats, leather wrapped steering wheel,
woodgrain texture, plentiful leg room and dual
zone climate control, the interior is a welcome
contrast to the power and grunt of the engine
and exterior design. All this, coupled with
the blue tooth system and USB port for
iPod connectivity, sets the 2012 Silverado
even further ahead of the market than the
previous generation and ensures that the
end result is equally as impressive in form,
as it is in function.
