![]() ![]() Testing the high-zoot, four-wheel-drive LTZ Z71 crew-cab model you see here, the question we raised after first driving the Silverado last month cropped up again: Is it enough to move the bar? That will be answered by a proper comparison test, but we can report that Chevy takes a decisive step forward.Ĭhevrolet Is Serious, and Don’t Call It Shirley Instead of clubs, a gun, or even a nun, players like Ram and Ford are coolly wielding technologies to maximize fuel economy and add carlike refinement.Ĭhevrolet, however, is going its own way on the concept, passing over turbocharging, a self-lowering aerodynamics-enhancing suspension, and a gajillion-speed transmission for its redesigned Silverado and focusing instead on honing the classic-pickup recipe. Yeah, right-big-time pickup makers have it the other way around, acting more like the folks lining up to slap the famously panicked passenger in the movie Airplane! out of it. You’d think truck makers would be throwing a veritable conniption, what with gas prices so high and the concept of vehicle downsizing seemingly taking hold.
