Perennially one of the best-selling pickup trucks in the United States, the Chevrolet Silverado can be a work vehicle by day and a civilized family-hauler by night.
Our test truck this week from Walter Jackson Chevrolet in Ringgold, Ga., was coated in a new-for-2012 metallic paint color called Graystone that makes a handsome choice, especially when combined with Light Titanium colored leather seats.
Like many of today’s loaded pickups, the Silverado extended cab has many of the same virtues as SUVs: A plush interior, seating for six and a commanding view of the road.
