One of the most iconic pick-up trucks in the US, the current Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is ready to receive some important updates that will help the Detroit-based manufacturer continue is good momentum.
The 2016 Silverado features a new front-end design with bold horizontal elements, sculpted hoods and dramatic lighting. Other changes for 2016 will include expanded use of 8-speed automatic transmissions, updated Chevy MyLink with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and additional safety technologies.
The redesign of the 2016 Silverado 1500 is part of an aggressive strategy to build on Chevy Trucks’ momentum. Since the introduction of the all-new Silverado 1500 in the spring of 2013, Silverado sales have grown by double digits, on a percentage basis, each year.
Through June of this year, Silverado sales are up 14.6 percent. Chevrolet also sold 41,575 midsize Colorados during the same period.
More product details will be available this fall, closer to the public debut of the redesigned 2016 Silverado 1500.
