Chevrolet Silverado FAQs

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 Seats

All models in the Chevrolet Silverado range provide seating for up to five occupants, comprising bucket seats for the driver and front passenger and a rear bench for three more.

Chevrolet Silverado Speed

The entry-level Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ Premium is estimated to accelerate from 0-100km/h in around 6.5 seconds, with its off-road focused 1500 ZR2 sibling taking 7.2 seconds and the 2500 HD around 7.6 seconds. All models are electronically limited to top speeds of around 180km/h.

Chevrolet Silverado Range

Official fuel economy figures for the Chevrolet Silverado range span from 12.1L/100km for the 1500 LTZ Premium to 12.7L/100km for the 1500 ZR2, resulting in driving ranges of around 750km to 700km respectively from a 91-litre tank. Premium 95-98 RON petrol is recommended for best performance but they can run on 91 RON. The 2500 HD does not have an official consumption figure but CarsGuide achieved 16.8L/100km during real-world testing, so based on our number it should have a driving range of around 800km from its big 136-litre diesel tank.
