Chevrolet Silverado 2012 UAE Prices & Specs

The Silverado range is Chevrolet's line of full-size pickup trucks, and covers everything from passenger pickups to big honking diesel monsters with six wheels and more. The Silverado pickup is the second-best selling vehicle in the United States, behind the Ford F-150 pickup truck, and it sells more trucks there than Toyota sells Camry cars. The Silverado 1500 light pickup truck is about the only vehicle that you can drive from this range without offending anyone around you, while the Silverado HD trucks should best be used if you work at a place that requires regular hauling. The light-duty trucks generally use the 1500 name, can tow up to 4700 kg and can carry 930 kg in their beds. They are available in three cab lengths, 2-door short cab, 3 or 4-door extended cab, and front-hinged 4-door crew cab. Three cargo beds are available, including a short box, a standard box, and a long box. The short box is only available with the extended or crew cab, and is the only option on the 4-door. Engines include a Vortec 4800 V8 and a Vortec 5300 V8. The Vortec 6000 V8 is available in the Heavy Duty models but not in the 1500 models, while the Z71 signifies an off-road package.
