Pat McGrath Chevyland is your source for all things automotive, and we are particularly pleased to be your go to location for information on the 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 in Cedar Rapids. The Silverado has long been thought of as one of the most dependable and long-lasting trucks available, and the Silverado 1500 — the half-ton model of this full-sized pickup — further lives up to this tradition by serving as one of the toughest and most rugged trucks around. Obviously one of the most important characteristics for any full-sized truck is power, but one of the major qualities of the 2013 edition of this truck is that it will have a variety of engine options. This degree of customization allows for unprecedented control, allowing you to buy exactly the truck that you want.
The 2013 Silverado 1500: Engine Options
In the 2013 Silverado 1500, Cedar Rapids, Iowa drivers will have four engines to choose from, allowing you to create exactly the truck that you need. The first is a 4.3L V6, the standard engine that comes paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The 4.3L V6 provides 195 hp and 260lb-ft of torque.
Second is the 4.8L V8 FlexFuel engine. This engine provides 302 hp and utilizes Chevrolet’s FlexFuel technology. This truck follows-through on Chevrolet’s Carbon Reduction Initiative by allowing the Silverado 1500 to run on your choice of standard gas or E85 Ethanol. This is a great choice for eco-conscious drivers!
Third is the 5.3L V8 FlexFuel engine, which represents a power upgrade over the 4.8L model, providing an even more impressive 315 hp. Finally, the fourth and largest engine option is the amazing 403-hp 6.2L V8.
