The Hook: 2009 Chevrolet Silverado
The new automatic transmission and bigger V-8 are nice additions, but they only bring the Chevy Silverado up to the same level as its competitors. What really makes the 2009 Chevy Silverado stand out is the available hybrid powertrain, making GM the first to offer a full hybrid system in a pickup. Borrowing the technology currently used in the Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid, the Silverado Hybrid will see a drop in towing and hauling capacity, but a significant increase in fuel economy. If Chevrolet can build the two-mode hybrid powertrains fast enough, we see no reason why they won't fly off the lots...as long as the price is kept reasonable.
