The Toughest Full-Size Pickup on the Road

Sure, the 2012 Chevy Silverado can help construct roads and bridges. Front porches and back decks. Things that matter. Things that last. But the most important thing we've built over the last 90 years is a bond with truck owners. A commitment to giving them what they need so they can do what needs to get done.

Silverado Performance

Power and Payload
Every proven Vortec V8 engine available on Silverado is capable of generating over 300 horsepower and 300 lb.-ft. of torque. Or step up to the available Vortec 6.2L V8 that generates 403 horses and 417 lb.-ft. of torque.Not surprisingly, all that power is complemented by a lot of payload capability: 1,980 lbs. (7) for Crew Cab and 1,925 lbs. (7) for Extended Cab models with the available MAX Trailering Pack.

Ride and Handling
Coil-over-shock front suspension and a wide front track provide great on-center feel, smooth out minor road irregularities, and supply excellent handling and stability. Durable, fade-resistant front and rear shocks supply an unexpectedly smooth and controlled ride.

Chevy Silverado Performance
           

Torque & MPG

 

Silverado Frame Technology

 

E85-Capable

 
The available Vortec 5.3L V8 offers an impressive combination of 315 horsepower and 335 lb.-ft. of torque and an EPA estimated 21 MPG highway, 15 city when running on gasoline - fuel economy no competitive V8 full-size pickup can beat.(8)   Hydro-formed front frame allows for fewer welds, which provide:

  • Clean attachment points
  • Better fit to frame
  • Immense overall frame strength and durability
  • Excellent road isolation and ride performance
  • Strong rear frame design boosts payload capacity without adding unnecessary mass.
  Every non-hybrid V8 engine available on Silverado 1500 can operate on E85.

  • E85 - a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline
  • Mostly renewable fuel
  • Can help reduce our dependence on petroleum and reduce tailpipe emissions
 


Silverado Towing Power
With the available MAX Trailering Pack, Extended Cab models can tow 10,700 lbs. (4) and Crew Cab models can pull 10,600 lbs. (4) The package includes:

  • A strong, 9.5-inch rear axle that helps carry or pull the biggest loads
  • The Vortec 6.2L V8 engine with 403 horsepower and 417 lb.-ft. of torque
  • GM segment-exclusive automatic locking rear differential for more grip and less slip when you need it most

Locking Rear Differential
When rear-wheel slippage occurs at lower speeds, the available GM-segment exclusive automatic locking rear differential allows additional traction on snow, mud and ice, or even on a wet boat ramp.

Chevy Silverado Towing
           

Z71 Suspension Package

 

Tow/Haul Mode

 

Silverado MPG Performance

 

The available Z71 Off-Road Package includes:

  • Z71 Off-Road suspension
  • 46mm twin-tube high-pressure gas-charged shocks

  • GM segment-exclusive automatic locking rear differential that provides added grip when you need it
  • Available Z71 Appearance Package: 18" aluminum wheels, body-color mirrors and door handles, body-color grille with chrome insert, and Rancho® shocks
 

Tow/Haul Mode enhances performance while pulling a trailer or hauling heavy loads. When activated, this feature modified the automatic transmission shift schedule and helps reduce throttle pedal activity by the driver while traveling over rolling terrain.

 
  • XFE offers better V8 fuel economy than Ford F-150, Dodge Ram and Toyota Tundra (8) - an EPA estimated 15 MPG city, 22 highway
  • The available Vortec 5.3L V8 engine helps Silverado offer 21 MPG highway
  • Silverado Hybrid (21)- America's first Two-Mode Hybrid full-size pickup - offers an EPA estimated 20 MPG city, 23 highway
 


Silverado Technology

Old School Power, New School Tech
Chevrolet Wi-Fi by Autonet Mobile (12) turns Silverado into a mobile hotspot:

  • Available dealer-installed GM-licensed accessory provides multiple users with full Internet access inside the vehicle and up to a 150-foot radius around the vehicle
  • Internet connection can support several devices at once
  • For work site use, offers immediate access to online ordering sites, municipal sites with permit and building code information, and more

Silverado Safety

StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control System helps you keep on the road and in control.
  • The control module compares your steering input with the vehicle's actual response and then, if necessary, makes small, individual brake applications to help you keep on track
  • It automatically intervenes when it senses understeer (plowing), oversteer (fishtailing) or loss of lateral traction
OnStar can help you after a collision
OnStar (13) with built-in Automatic Crash Response is standard for the first six months on most models. In a collision, vehicle sensors can alert an OnStar Advisor who is immediately connected into your vehicle and can request emergency help be sent to your exact GPS location.

Steel Safety Cage

 

Six standard air bags: (20)

 

Tire Pressure Monitor

 
  • The safety cage is designed to help preserve occupant space in the event of a collision
  • Crush zones, located in the front body structure, are designed for a "progressive crush" during a frontal crash. This design absorbs and channels crash energy in a controlled manner
 
  • Driver and right-front passenger frontal
  • Head-curtain side-impact for outboard seating positions
  • Front-seat mounted for thorax and pelvic protection
 
  • Monitors the inflation level in each of the four road tires. The Driver Information Center (DIC) then displays the readout of each tire's pressure (excludes spare tire)
  • If any tire falls below a specified pressure, the driver is immediately alerted via a message in the DIC
