2012 Chevy Silverado HD

Chevy Silverado, 2011 Motor Trends Truck of the Year, just got better! For 2012 model, you can expect even more from your truck!  The Chevy Silverado HD rolls into the New Year with:

§  Best-in-class 1-ton fifth-wheel towing capacity of 23,000 pounds.

§  Best-in-class conventional towing capacity of 18,000 pounds.

§  Best-in-class payload of 7,215 pounds.

On top of the performance the Silverado will also come with heated/cooled seats in the LTZ models and in the ZR1 package an “Off Road” appearance package, as well as four new exterior colors to choose from and two interior colors! Chevy did not forget about the 3500 HD either, in the dual rear wheel models, a new forged polished aluminum wheel is standard on LTZ models.

This added performance comes from a strategic enhancements incorporated the trucks chassis. Updated trailer-hitch receivers will increase the Silverado’s towing from the 17,000 it’s at now to 18,000 for the 2012 model.  Better for the fifth-wheel towing capacity, engineers added strength to the pickup’s box sills and other box structures along with the rear springs. In the 3500 HD the towing rating goes from 21,700 to 23,000 pounds!

Since Chevy upped the performance features of the Silverado, they also added technology that can help you stay connected while you are away from the office on business or your drive home. These features include a new navigation radio, enhanced display, Sirius XM radio, Bluetooth for the phone, USB connectivity and as always OnStar, with OnStar Directions & Connections with Turn-by-Turn Navigation and Automatic Crash Response.

Need to access that urgent e-mail from the office and cannot on your phone, Chevy thought of a way to fix that as well. Chevrolet WiFi powered by Autonet, will also be available on the 2012 Silverado HD. Chevrolet WiFi can be installed through the dealership and will turn your truck into a mobile hot spot or office on wheels. This feature will allow multiple users from up to 150 feet from the exterior of the truck to connect to the internet. On the recreation side of things, the truck allows families to access their social media sites, weather, traffic reports, or simply search for a camping site for the evening.
