CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500

Discover the Bigger, but Lighter New Chevy Silverado 1500 Pickup

If you’re in the market for a tough, dependable full-size pickup truck, you should consider the new Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Chevy made the Silverado 1500 larger, but lighter by using a mix of aluminum and steel. It still has the big, squared-off fenders and huge grille from the previous model, but it now has functional air curtains for better efficiency. The new Silverado 1500 has more cargo and cabin space than ever, and Poughkeepsie-area drivers can select from a wide range of Silverado 1500 trims at Ruge’s Chevrolet.

It comes standard with a 285-horsepower V6 engine and six-speed automatic transmission that’s great for daily driving. Two V8 motors and a turbocharged four-cylinder engine are also available. Drivers in the Wappingers Falls area who do a lot of towing will prefer the available 420-horsepower V8 engine, which gives the Silverado 1500 the ability to tow up to 12,500 pounds and haul up to 2,590 pounds. Trailering and towing packages are also available for better visibility and control over what you’re towing.

You also have numerous choices in body and cab styles with the new Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup. It comes in Regular, Double and Crew Cab models; eight trim choices; and three bed sizes, so you can get one that suits you perfectly.
