    Chevrolet Silverado Australia, Review, For Sale, Specs, Models & News

    Traditionally, full-size ‘pick-up trucks’ have largely been confined to the North American market but the Chevy Silverado has been on sale here through GM factory subsidiary GMSV (initially HSV) since 2018.

    Powered by a 6.2-litre alloy V8 this 4WD beast can tow 4.5 tonnes, carry five people in comfort and attack off-road work with gusto.

    The line-up currently starts at $130,500 for the Silverado 1500 LTZ Premium and ranges through to $163,000 for the range-topping Silverado HD LTZ Premium (NB2).

    Chevrolet SILVERADO Accessories

    The HD's role as a load-lugger is reflected in the options offered. Basically, they surround the type of tonneau cover you want. Beyond that, other normally optional gear like a sunroof, opening rear window and stereo upgrade are all standard in the Australian version.

    Chevrolet SILVERADO Q&As

    Check out real-world situations relating to the Chevrolet SILVERADO here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

    • Is the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2020 good for towing?

      You raise an interesting point, Phil. A lot of people don’t understand that as you approach the towing limit of some vehicles, you also get very close to the legal Gross Combination Mass (GCM) which means you have virtually no payload left.

      As for the torque of the 6.2-litre V8 engine, while it may not have quite the low-speed punch of a modern turbo-diesel, with 624Nm of torque, the engine is no lightweight, either. Frankly, it should do the job about as well as anything else out there. I’m not aware of a factory retune for the Silverado, but the engine is shared with plenty of GM and Holden product and there’s a whole industry in hotting those up. Surely somebody can offer you the tune-up you’re looking for. By the way, success on a boat ramp tends to be more about grip than torque.

    • Are Holden bringing the Silverado to Australia?

      We are not aware of any plan for Holden to bring in the big Chevy pickup. The Silverado is already available on the local market, with several small importers bringing it in.

    Chevrolet SILVERADO Interior

    Quality of materials and assembly have sky-rocketed from a few years ago in this class of truck. There's still plenty of plastic around, but it's decent spec stuff now and the whole interior feels upmarket.

    Chevrolet SILVERADO Interior

    Chevrolet SILVERADO Engine

    A true highlight, the 6.6-litre turbo-diesel V8 is tuneful (in a diesel way) and long on ability and torque. Torque? Yes, how does 1332Nm sound?

    The Chevrolet SILVERADO has maximum towing capacity of 4500kg for the latest model available.

    Chevrolet SILVERADO Seats

    An upgrade to a black leather trim material has given the Silverado a bit of extra polish inside. That includes front seats that both feature 10-way adjustability, heating and cooling. The rear seat is a proper three-seater.

    Chevrolet SILVERADO Seats

    Chevrolet SILVERADO Speed

    Clearly, this vehicle isn't about speed for its own sake, but that monster engine means it's far from slow. Figure on 0-100km/h in under seven seconds which is most un-truck-like. Top speed is around 160km/h.

    Chevrolet SILVERADO Range

    There's no doubt the Silverado likes fuel, but at freeway speeds with nothing on the tow-bar, you should be aiming for around 15 litres per 100km (there's no official figure). Thanks to the 136-litre tank, that should give a range between 800 and 900km.
