Chevrolet Silverado – Wardlaw's Opinion:
Chevy's new Silverado is a damn fine truck. It's got one major flaw in my opinion, a complaint frequently registered about the previous model and one that in this new iteration impacts only the 1500-series trucks: Interior design. My gripe has nothing to do with materials. The visual and tactile improvements to the new Silverado are almost stunning. Rather, the control layout is all wrong. Sharing a dashboard and components with the Tahoe and Suburban SUVs, the Silverado's cabin is more like a car than a truck. That's gonna be a problem for people who use it more like a truck than a car. In this upscale LTZ with navigation, just try using the radio station presets while wearing work gloves. I dare ya.
