The Windy City hosts the largest auto show in North America
2011 Chevrolet Silverado HD pickup
What it is: A heavy duty
version of Chevy’s full-size pickup, capable of carrying 6335 pounds
and towing up to 20,000 pounds with a fifth wheel or 16,000 pounds with
a tow hitch, both class bests.
What’s New: The 2011 Chevy
Silverado’s Duramax 6.6-liter turbodiesel is now capable of running on
B20, a blend of 80 percent conventional diesel fuel and 20 percent
biodiesel. It also gets a revised interior, a new grille, an all-new
frame, and a smart exhaust trailer brake that varies resistance based
on load and grade.
Bottom Line: Despite a trend
toward downsizing, heavy duty pickups will always be needed as work
vehicles. The 2011 Chevy Silverado HD offers more capability than ever
before.
