It says something when the new Silverado's styling gets approval from one of our in-house truck aficionados, one who hasn't looked favorably at Chevy truck design since about the mid ‘90s (two generations back). The blocky look adds a square, rugged silhouette to one of mid-America's favorite bowtie models, and the expansive chrome grille somehow escapes being over the top. Simple red taillights with small reverse lamps loosely mimic the design used in the ‘70s and early ‘80s, albeit on a bigger scale. Optional 20-inch alloy wheels, however, would have been hard to find back in the days of ABBA. Inside, Chevy offers a basic truck or more upscale dash layout – our LTZ had the latter, which really served to dress things up.
