2015 Chevrolet Silverado Custom Sport Z71 Crew Cab - Examiner.com

DETROIT – Although the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado Crew Cab is a big truck at almost 5,500 lbs. Our Silverado Custom Sport Crew Cab was powered by a 6. 2-liter V8 that made 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. It didn’t sound big and gruff as yesterday’s V8 truck engines did. And as strange as it sounds, the Silverado didn’t seem too big for other traffic. In two-wheel-drive mode it got 15 mpg in the city, 21 mpg on the highway. For four –wheel-drive its mileage dropped by one mile per gallon in the city and on the highway. Part of the Z71 moniker meant that this Silverado was equipped with monotube shock absorbers fore and aft as part of its off road suspension. And what Chevy called an underbody shield we called slide plates. “Off Road” was underlined on the Z71 badging on each front door and we don’t think Chevy would put it on this model Silverado unless the truck could seriously plow through muddy gunk, wade through water, crawl over rocks and slide over whatever it... It had a 5’8” inch box, a trailer brake controller, LED lighting in the box and movable upper tie downs. Our Custom Sport Edition featured body colored bumpers front and back, a body colored grille with chrome bars, body colored bezels around the headlamps and 20-inch chrome wheels shod with all-terrain tires.
