2017 Chevrolet Silverado | Consumer Guide Auto

2017 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ

Pros: Expansive passenger and cargo room; well-designed technology features; broad range of models, body configurations, and powertrains to choose from

Cons: Prices rise quickly as options are added; ride comfort doesn’t quite match Ram 1500—it’s a bit jiggly over rough pavement

CG Says: The Chevrolet Silverado is little changed for 2017. A teen-driver monitor is newly standard and the Enhanced Driver Alert Package now includes low-speed automatic braking. A capless fuel filler is also new. Maximum trailer rating increases from 12,000 to 12,500 pounds. The Silverado benefits from refined, efficient-for-the-class powertrains; lots of in-cab storage areas; and comfortable, quiet crew-cab interiors. It rides well and we like that it doesn’t feel as lumbering as some of its competitors do on the road. Overall, it’s a really nice truck that does most everything pretty well. While Chrysler’s Ram 1500 still gets the nod as our favorite big pickup, this Chevy is still a Best Buy as well.
