2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 First Look - The Car Connection
Chevrolet’s current-generation Silverado 1500 was all-new for 2014 but the full-size pickup has already come in for a substantial update, confirming the competitive environment in which the big, burly workhorse operates. The Ford Motor Company’s [NYSE:F] aluminum-bodied F-150 remains the biggest threat, but Chevy’s pickup offerings remain popular, with Silverado sales up 14. 6 percent so far this year. Chevy says the latest update is part of an aggressive strategy to build on the current momentum of its full-size pickup’s sales performance. For the 2016 model year, the Silverado 1500 wears a new face that loses the dual-unit headlights of the current version, and on some models there’s less chrome brightwork. And for the interior, the 2016 Silverado 1500 will feature an updated Chevy MyLink infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration. ALSO SEE: Chevrolet Corvette Vs.
