The Chevy Silverado 1500 has been a strong contender for many years. This pickup truck has a lot of capability, and it's been equipped with many features that can enhance the Newport, TN, driving experience. At Stinnett Chevrolet Buick, we carry many trims of the new Silverado 1500 in Sevierville, including the ZR2. The rugged 1500 ZR2 has a unique style and is ready to tackle tough challenges. It is definitely a pickup that can stand out on the road.
Chevrolet has given the Silverado 1500 ZR2 a very capable engine. It's a 6.2-liter EcoTec3 V8 version that'll give you 420 horsepower. It can also make 460 pound-feet of torque. It works together with a ten-speed automatic transmission to give you the right amount of power in various situations. When you're going downhill and don't want to pick up too much speed, this truck can help you.
With Cruise Grade Braking, it can downshift to slow itself down whenever it starts to go too far over the cruise set speed. With Powertrain Grade Braking, the truck can slow itself down when descending steep slopes, using its engine and transmission to do so.
Our new inventory of the Silverado 1500 ZR2 comes standard with four-wheel drive and can take advantage of the two-speed Autotrac transfer case. In two-wheel drive mode, the fuel economy can be improved, and the truck should handle itself well under normal conditions. If things get more difficult, choose from four-wheel drive Auto mode, four-wheel drive LO mode, or four-wheel drive HI mode.
In four-wheel drive Auto mode, the truck will make the necessary adjustments to torque and power delivery to keep you moving forward safely. This mode is great for wet roads and wintry conditions. If conditions really take a turn, engage four-wheel drive HI or four-wheel drive LO mode. four-wheel drive Lo mode is what you'd rely on when things are really tough.
