Consumer Reports 'Top Truck' is the Chevy Silverado

Consumer Reports 'Top Truck' is the Chevy Silverado
BAY CITY, Mich. - The magazine, Consumer Reports has announced its "top-rated truck" for the year and Chevy has come out on top. Consumer Reports 'top truck' is the Chevy Silverado 1500. Chevy's truck beat out the Dodge Ram 1500, who came in second place.

The Chevy Silverado is Consumer Reports 'Top Truck' for various reasons. The ample cargo bed, greater payload capacity, and the ability to tow up to 11,200 pounds are some of the main characteristics that caught the magazine's eye. Other features that Consumer Reports raved about are the corner bump steps, the best-in-class fuel economy of 16 mpg overall, and the tailgate that is easy to raise and lower.

Another factor that we are sure was brought into consideration is the fact that the 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500 was the first pickup truck ever to receive the highest possible safety rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. This high rating was due mostly to the Silverado's Safety Alert Seat which alerts drivers to traffic danger, the Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, and the six standard air bags - among other features.
