It Started Out As Our Truck — Now It's Yours

We put all of ourselves into the development of the 2008 Chevy Silverado. We started with a rock-solid foundation, as the most dependable, longest-lasting full-size pickups on the road.** But building a stronger, more powerful, more capable and refined pickup was only step one. The real test was how this family of pickups would perform in the real world. The results speak for themselves: Silverado 1500 Crew Cab delivers unsurpassed maximum towing capacity and payload capacity.†† And the Silverado HD proves itself as the most powerful heavy-duty on the planet. The accolades followed, including some of the most prestigious media and industry awards. We put everything into the 2008 Chevy Silverado. Now it's your turn.

 

 2008 Best New Pickup Truck

2008 Best New Pickup Truck

After an impressive 2007, the next generation Chevy Silverado is yet again being honoured by getting the 2008 AJAC Award for Best New Pickup Truck. How fitting for a truck that has successfully reinvented itself for generations, and always managed to stay one step ahead of the competition.

2008 Chevrolet Silverado 5-Star Frontal and Side Crash Test Rating

Supercharged Safety With 5-Star Rating
The Chevy Silverado has the ultimate safety standards and the rating to prove it. The 2008 Silverado 1500 has a 5-Star Frontal and Side Crash Test Rating - the highest possible Front and Side impact U.S. Government safety rating.***

2008 Chevrolet Silverado engine

More Power - With Less Fuel
Silverado 1500's Vortec engine lineup proves that you don't need to trade off power for fuel efficiency. The 315 horsepower Vortec 5.3L V8 and 367 horsepower VortecMAX 6.0L V8 engines achieve a higher output, while realizing meaningful gains in fuel efficiency. That is thanks in part to Active Fuel Management® technology that shuts down half the engine's cylinders when power demands are low.

2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

The Duramax Diesel Has Met Its Match

Silverado HD's available Duramax 6.6L V8 Turbo Diesel has no equal for power output, producing 365 hp and a ground-breaking 660 lb.-ft. of torque. But it has met its match with the Allison 6-speed automatic transmission that features tap-up/tap-down shift controls, in addition to such sophisticated features as grade braking, cruise grade braking, shift stabilization and Tow/Haul mode.

2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab Rugged, Yet Smooth

The look is rugged — just like the engineering, with a powerful stance and available 20-inch wheels. The shape is also exceptionally aerodynamic with its steeply raked 57-degree windshield. That translates into better fuel efficiency and a quieter ride. And that's not all that's smooth — getting cargo into the box is made that much easier by the available EZ Lift tailgate.


2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Extended Cab Because Trouble Can Approach From Any Direction

Silverado helps protect its occupants from all sides with a 360 collision sensing system. But the priority is avoiding an incident before it occurs, with the help of features like StabiliTrak™ (standard on 1500 Crew Cabs, available on Extended Cabs) and a tire pressure monitoring system.
