Chevrolet Silverado — a symbol of power, reliability and unpretentiousness. For any American respecting, purchase of such car — a tradition tribute, a real reminder on the ancestors which have mastered the Wild West.
The today's relation of Europeans to the American way of life basically the negative. In mass consciousness of Europeans there was an opinion, that all American cars in our territory is absolute are necessary to nobody.
To the full it concerns the enormous farmer pickups more similar to lorries. Predilection of Americans for huge cars does not cause sympathy and in the European consumer. Besides — close megacities are not intended for large motor transport, yes besides — economy of fuel.
Legendary American off-road car

Perhaps, it is not necessary to dump all in one heap, and to get accustomed if not to a way of life of the Yankee, then to these subjugators of highways — to cars-monsters. Probably, more the close acquaintance with the greatest pickup Chevrolet Silverado, will help to slightly open a secret veil...
So it for "animal" such — Chevrolet Silverado? In our case — not simply all-wheel drive pickup, but also the longest variant. This updating carries name Crew Cab, moreover with prefix Long Box.
Load-carrying capacity of "monster" makes 1435 kg. Chevrolet Silverado it is capable to pull the trailer in weight to 4400 kg! Add here a cargo platform in length of 2479 mm and width 2024 mm, closed by a metal cover which two adults can easily dismantle. To open a cover, it is absolutely not necessary to apply efforts: powerful mechanical shock-absorbers will make all, it is enough to pull for the handle...
Getting to salon Silverado, you understand, as so specialised cars can be comfortable - internal furniture at level of representation cars. Leather five-seater salon, forward armchairs with heating, the electric drive of forward seats, and driver's — even on 10 directions with memory. External mirrors with the electric drive the foldings which are warmed up, with the repeaters of turns built in in them, the climate control.

«General Motors», neither «Ford», nor «Dodge» officially do not deliver and are not going to deliver yet the well-known pickups on the European car market...

In the majority, the given circumstance is caused by absence of specialised repair trucks, in America with it is much easier, there it is a lot of them, but the real leader №1 — Dallas auto repair.
