Chevrolet Silverado Named Consumer Reports' Top-Rated Truck
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) September 24, 2013 -- Jim Ellis Chevrolet announces the Chevy Silverado 1500's "Excellent" road-test score makes it Consumer Reports' top-rated truck, edging out the Dodge Ram. According to Consumer Reports' tests, the Silverado has a much larger cargo bed, several hundred pounds greater payload capacity, and it can tow a heavier trailer; up to 11,200 pounds. Its tailgate is easy to raise and lower, and handy corner bumper steps help with climbing into the bed. The Silverado also has a lower step-in height than the Ram, aiding cabin access. Handling is more agile, and the Silverado delivers best-in-class fuel economy of 16 mpg overall - one mpg better than the Ram. This efficiency could save owners about 50 gallons of gas per year.
Complete test results for the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 appear on http://www.ConsumerReports.org and in the November issue of Consumer Reports, which will be on newsstands October 5.
