2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 review

1. Powerful engines 

Depending on the trim and body style you choose, the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 comes with either a 4.3L V6, a 5.3L V8, or a 6.2L V8. The base V6 produces 285 hp and is suitable for light towing and everyday driving. However, if you need more power, the two V8 options produce 355 hp and 420 hp respectively, making them better suited to heavy towing.  

2. Improved interior 

As part of the broad redesign of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, the interior has undergone a real transformation too. Structurally, the cabin is now sturdier than before, and the feel of everything inside is better. The pickup will come with either bench or bucket seats in the front, and the seats are comfortable and adjustable. Plus, there’s an eight-inch touchscreen as standard with MyLink, and more bins and cubbies for cabin storage than ever before, making the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 a home-from-home. 

3. Quiet on the highway 

One of the welcome side-effects of the better materials used inside and out is how quiet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is from the cabin. Wind and road noise are minimal, even at high speeds. This isn’t always an expected benefit for a pickup truck, but the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 proves you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. 

4. Amazing towing power 

Let’s get into the nitty-gritty of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500’s true power. The top-level 420 hp version can tow up to an estimated 12,000 lbs when properly equipped, which is very impressive for its class.

5. User-friendly infotainment 

The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is blessed with an easy-to-use infotainment system, even in the base model. The standard eight-inch touchscreen system has simple menus and a good voice command interface. It comes with the MyLink system, and it’s worth keeping an eye out for a model that has the available navigation system (which is also very straightforward to use).
