The Chevrolet Silverado truck remains Chevy’s best selling vehicle, probably in part because it’s available in so many configurations. There’s a Silverado to suit just about everyone who wants a full size pickup truck.

A gas-electric hybrid model was introduced in 2004 and remains in the lineup for 2005. Hybrid Silverados offer up to 10-percent better fuel economy, 120-volt electrical power with ground fault detection, and accessory powering capabilities.
