2014 Chevrolet Silverado V-6

Sometimes, the previous-generation Silverado models in seven years, he lost track of how many different engine Chevrolet offered. We ran out of fingers fact, we just quit counting. There are four different displacement, one, 5.3-liter V-8s, both of which came in the iron and aluminum block and FlexFuel E85 version, and without the ability. Salesproof: GM rather than proved his "two-mode" hybrid pickup, single mode, there will be a strike from the date of the year. And what if the plug-in conversion Bob Lutz at the 2012 Detroit auto show was hawking?

Let's not forget, also V-6, forgotten by retail customers, in fact, there was a choice. Chevrolet says it was responsible for only 5 percent of sales, and most of them entered the fleet. However, returns again in 2014 as a V-6 base engine Silverado full-size truck paralysis considering frugality new tensions. This 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque 4.3-liter aluminum block points. Even last year's 4.3-liter 195 hp Vortec V-6 with a new name to help distinguish its cast iron block and heads are Ecotec3.


Silverado is an all-new V-6 GM ?? s is based on LT1 V-8. 70 horsepower give up but saw our test 3-mpg gain.
(Looks like a Ford EcoBoost F-150 for) you GM's do not see a multi-million dollar brand campaign new engine touting, but naturally of modern technologies such as direct injection and variable valve timing, the V-6 benefits aspirated. This is our V-6-powered Silverado 89 mph in 15.7 seconds, quarter-mile time was to help translate. This is a quick test back in 2007. But a capture 6.0-liter V-8 "vortecmax" Silverado has more than a second on: E85, this time we had the tank. GM's truck last FlexFuel engines, the new V-6 297 horses and 330 pound-feet of torque helps make ethanol output bump, so be it. Ethanol negative due to a lower energy density than gasoline, fuel economy hurts, namely; V-6, four-wheel drive combined EPA estimated 13 miles per gallon Silverado fell 19 only.

Only gas combustion, our quarter-mile time of 16 seconds flat and reached 87 mph. And V-6 fuel put whatever I do and much ballyhooed new LT1 V-8 92 mph in 15.3 seconds, speed's still closed.

Chevy V-6 as its big brother, the less refined, 5.3-liter V-8, LTZ models, $ 1,095 LT trims and optional standards. This is very much coarser than that Chrysler's polished Pentastar 3.6-liter V-6, Ram found its way under the hood pickups and also contains an entry-level V-6 in the pickup class there is the flag bearer of the minivan engine F-150 3.7-liter. Silverado from shaking a bit at idle and can not hold a single balance shaft V-6 while accelerating the gas pedal and steering wheel vibrations can be felt through both. All new Silverado models shared by the six-speed automatic workmanship Ram's eight-speed seamlessness lacking.


On the highway, however, the V-6 Silverado cruises quietly and comfortably. With a Silverado pickup comparo last won the V-6 model has the same responsive steering and braking feel good ground. A slick torque converter masks outdoor power up your shot an on-ramp. Chevy Silverado V-6 may even be equipped to tow up to 7600 pounds says. Although often nearly V-4 mode V-6, V-8 are disabling the cylinder circuits. We are still good V-8 than 3 mpg 16 miles per gallon average.

Silverado V-6 with the biggest problem is probably nothing wrong with the interest in engineering for their miserable Vortec predecessor and has everything. And to reach the roots of the previous engine displacement and angle Sharing 90 degrees between its cylinder banks, both engines are based on the fifth generation of a new Chevy small-block architecture of off-sa chopped are substantially V-8s with two cylinders back to 1955.

To explain this argot Bow Tie-seller, good luck. The Sopranos since it was still convincing enough square foot dealership Chevy-pickup buyers-many of whom will not natural V-6 5477-pound remained motivated to work full-size pickup with HBO aspire-wheel drive. Even though, at least in this case, it is.
