Changes for the 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500:
Because the Silverado is entering its final year before a completely redesigned 2014 Silverado debuts, changes are limited to standard powertrain grade braking for the 6-speed automatic transmission and new Blue Topaz and Deep Ruby paint colors.
Model Lineup:
Chevrolet sells the Silverado 1500 in regular-, extended-, and crew-cab body styles, combined with a choice of short, standard, and long cargo bed sizes. Buyers can select between Work Truck (WT), LS, LT, and LTZ trim levels. A model called the XFE (Xtra Fuel Economy) is also available.
Engines and Transmissions:
There are four different engines offered for the 2013 Chevy Silverado, each E85-compatible with the exception of the standard V-6. All Silverado models have an automatic transmission, and 4-wheel drive is optional with any engine choice.
A 4.3-liter V-6 engine is standard in regular- and extended-cab models, rated to generate 195 horsepower at 4,600 rpm and 260 lb.-ft. of torque at 2,800 rpm. A 4-speed automatic transmission is standard, and this powertrain can tow up to 5,400 lbs., when properly equipped.
A 4.8-liter V-8 is optional on the regular- and extended-cab models, and standard on the crew-cab model. This V-8 makes 302 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 305 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,600 rpm, and is paired with a 4-speed automatic. Maximum towing is rated at 7,200 lbs.
A 5.3-liter V-8 is optional for all models, developing 315 horsepower at 5,200 rpm and 335 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,000 rpm. A 6-speed automatic transmission is standard with this engine, now equipped with standard powertrain grade braking, and the 5.3-liter V-8 includes Active Fuel Management, which shuts down half the engine cylinders under low-load conditions to help conserve fuel. This engine can handle a trailer weighing up to 10,000 lbs.
The Silverado 1500 extended-cab and crew-cab models can also be equipped with a 6.2-liter V-8 engine cranking out 403 horsepower at 5,700 rpm and 417 lb.-ft. of torque at 4,300 rpm. A 6-speed automatic transmission with powertrain grade braking is included, and this engine can tow up to 10,700 lbs.
Fuel Economy Ratings:
The Silverado’s combined-driving fuel economy ratings range from 14 mpg with the 6.2-liter V-8 to 18 mpg for the XFE model with a 5.3-liter V-8 and 2WD. Notably, the 5.3-liter V-8 proves more fuel efficient than either the 4.3-liter V-6 or the 4.8-liter V-8 engines.
Safety Ratings:
The NHTSA gives all versions of the 2013 Silverado a 4-star overall crash-test rating. Results from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) are not quite as favorable. The Silverado receives a “Good” rating in the moderate overlap frontal-impact test, an “Acceptable” rating for side-impact and rear-impact injury prevention, and a “Marginal” rating for roof crush strength.
Technology Highlights:
The 2013 Silverado can be optioned with rear parking assist sensors, a reversing camera, a touchscreen navigation system, a rear seat entertainment system, heated and ventilated front seats, power adjustable pedals, an integrated trailer brake controller, and more.
