(PRWEB) January 24, 2005 -- Last Year Silverado unveiled a hybrid version and it’s still included in this years all star line up.
The Silverado pickup truck remains Chevy's best selling vehicle, probably in part because it's available in so many configurations. There's a Silverado to suit just about everyone who wants a full size pickup truck. Versatility is one of the Chevy Silverado’s strongest point.
A gas-electric hybrid model was introduced in 2004 and remains in the lineup for 2005. A Hybrid Silverado’s offer up to 10-percent better fuel economy; it has a 120-volt electrical power with ground fault detection and accessory powering capabilities with power outlets under the rear seat of the cab and in the pickup bed. Don't expect to see a hybrid Silverado at most Chevy dealerships. The trucks are available in limited quantities and are only being sold in six states; this includes California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Nevada and Florida.
