2009 chevrolet silverado 1500 review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Powertrain upgrades include new hybrid. introductionthe 2009 chevy silverado phases in a new six-speed automatic transmission, a bigger v8, an economical xfe model, and a gasoline-electric hybrid. The 2008 models brought some additional features and refinement. For 2009, all the major changes are under the hood for 2009. silverado styling is bold by gm truck standards yet still traditional when compared with the latest pickups from dodge, nissan, toyota, and ford. The integrated trailer brake controller and enhanced stability control are not available with the 4. 3-liter. A 6. 0-liter aluminum block v8 (367 hp/375 lb-ft of torque) with variable cam timing and active fuel management is available on long-cab lt and ltz models in conjunction with the nht maximum tow package. The six-speed automatic is being phased in as standard. xfe (xtra fuel economy) models use a 5. 3-liter v8, six-speed automatic and cruising-biased axle ratio of 3. 08:1 to increase epa ratings. Xfe versions feature aerodynamic upgrades in the form of a soft bed cover and extended front air dam, plus aluminum wheels (including the spare) and lower front suspension arms, locking rear differential, and low rolling resistance tires. A trailering package is standard so xfe models can tow up to 7000 pounds. new for 2009 is the 6. 2-liter v8 (403 hp/417 lb-ft of torque), a flex-fuel engine with aluminum block and variable cam timing and a six-speed automatic. It is offered only on crew cab models and returns 13/19 mpg epa ratings with premium unleaded recommended. the other new power option for 2009 is the two-mode hybrid that debuted in the 2008 tahoe and yukon. Epa ratings are 21/22 mpg. Lt models can be upgraded with premium cloth front bucket seats with six-way power adjustment, dual-zone automatic temperature controls, audio controls mounted on the steering wheel, fog lamps, aluminum wheels, chromed bumper, and a spare tire lock. ltz 33,080) adds heavy-duty trailering equipment, an automatic locking rear differential, body-colored bumpers, reclining and heated leather front seats with 12-way power, an in-dash six-cd changer with bose speakers, 18-inch wheels, turn signal indicators in the exterior rearview mirrors and heated windshield washers. extended cab and crew cab models have back seats and windows in the side doors that power down. The extended cab has rear access doors hinged at the rear that open to 170 degrees to provide full access to the rear seating area. The regular cab can be outfitted with a standard bed (6-foot, 6-inch) or long bed (8-foot). Safety options include side-curtain airbags, stabilitrak electronic stability control with rollover mitigation technology, autotrac active transfer case, rear park assist, and onstar. option prices vary by trim level and body style. Among them: a cargo management system for the truck bed 95), a power sliding sunroof 795), 20-inch wheels/suspension 995), a power sliding rear window 200), rear-seat entertainment system 1,295), and navigation system 2,250). On lesser models: locking differential 395), stabilitrak electronic stability control 425), tow packages. walkaroundthe chevy silverado may not have the aggressive styling of the dodge ram or nissan titan or even the toyota tundra or the 2009 ford f-150, but its upright design may be considered both bold and appealing to its faithful customers, and they buy hundreds of thousands of silverados each year. We think it's quite attractive. a raked windshield (angled at 57 degrees) and careful aerodynamic and body-building engineering make the truck both quieter on the inside and more fuel efficient. Gm boasts that the silverado and gmc sierra are the first full-size trucks to offer both 300 horsepower and epa highway ratings of 20 miles per gallon (2wd 5. 3-liter v8 on gasoline). the large, gold chevy bowtie badge is set against a wide, three-bar chrome grille. The grille is flanked by stacked headlights sporting the latest reflector optics. The front bumper incorporates rectangular fog lights. the hood has a wide power dome. Bulging front fenders wrap over the front wheels and incorporate the headlights within their forward sweep. Likewise, the rear quarter panels are punctuated by large faired wheel wells. the rear view of the truck features stacked tail lights on either side of a tall tailgate that has a sculpted center section that mimics and inverts the shape of the fender flares. built on what general motors calls its gmt900 platform, the silverado shares much of its underpinnings with the tahoe suv, though the pickup gets a unique rear suspension and a frame section 245 percent stiffer than that of the suv. The current silverado chassis is far more rigid than that of the previous-generation, helping reduce the gap between the truck bed and passenger compartment and between fenders and bumpers. This allows suspension components to be designed for improved ride and handling characteristics as well as allowing enhanced aerodynamics and fuel efficiency. the front suspension uses coil-over shock absorbers (rather than torsion bars) and the rack-and-pinion steering gear is mounted to the engine cross member to provide enhanced control and feedback. The silverado benefits from a rear axle design featuring shocks absorbers mounted outboard and more upright for better dynamic control than that of the previous-generation models. interiorthe silverado wt, ls and lt come with what chevy calls the pure pickup interior while the ltz features a more luxurious interior. the pure pickup interior is more driver and work oriented, includes two glove boxes in the dashboard, one of them just about the right size to hold a pair of work gloves and a few small items, and a 40/20/40-split front bench seat with the center section of the seat back folding down to form a wide arm rest with lots of storage capacity. This interior features large switchgear controls and interior door handles designed to be easily manipulated even while wearing bulky gloves. the more luxury-oriented interior includes bucket seats with a permanent center console with 20 liters of storage capacity. The center stack puts ventilation and audio controls within easy site and reach of the front seat passenger. This version has a single glove box i.
