Durability and Safety Combine in the Chevy Silverado 1500

When you’re purchasing a new truck the most important thing is reliability. The Chevy Silverado 1500 has earned its respect over the years as one of the most durable cars on the road. Hendrick Buford Chevrolet is proud to house this fine model in our showroom, and we invite you to come by our dealership and take a look for yourself. The latest version of the Silverado 1500 has maintained its reliability while adding extensive safety features.

Terrific Towing Ability
Let’s face it, one of the main reasons you’re interested in a Silverado 1500 is because you have things to haul. And with its mix of power and stability, the 1500 can tow anything you can throw at it. The bed of the Silverado is constructed from high strength steel, making it less susceptible to punctures. Nine cross members are also welded across the frame for increased lateral support. And the hydraulic body mounts will keep you comfortable while traversing any terrain.

The bed of the Silverado 1500 can hold a maximum payload of 2,250 pounds. LED lamps are under the side rails for any work occurring at night, and four standard lower tie-downs help secure anything you’re hauling.

As for towing, the Silverado 1500 can haul 12,500 pounds, which is class leading in towing capacity. The Stabilitrak system provides sway control of your trailer, and a rear vision camera helps you keep an eye on your load. Hill Start Assist and Auto Grade Braking also aid you in maintaining control on inclines and declines.

Keeping You Connected
With today’s modern world, even if you’re out on the job site it’s important to still stay connected to your office or loved ones. The integrated Chevrolet MyLink comes with up to an 8-inch touchscreen display. The system can sync up with your smart phone and you can access all of your favorite apps and playlists without even taking your hands off of the wheel. You can also wireless charge your phone so no cord is necessary on long trips.

One of the most exciting aspects of the Silverado 1500 technology is the Teen Driver system. It’s always a bit scary to put a new driver out there on the road. This system helps you monitor your eager new driver even if you’re not in the car with them. The Teen Driver applications mutes all audio until all seat belts are buckled and provides you with a ‘report card’ of how your teen did when they were out on the road. This report shows if they exceeded the speed limit, where they went and how far the vehicle travelled, and setting a predetermined limit on how loud they can blast the radio. Once they return you can coach them on their performance based on these diagnostics. Teen Driver is a powerful teaching tool so you can improve your teen’s driving.
