The new 2009 Chevrolet Silverado should be at the top of the list for anyone who has to work with their hands for a living. This pickup truck was made for the construction worker. Starting with the rugged interior right down to the sturdy chassis and powerful engine.

Now if it’s fuel economy you’re worried about you might like to consider the Silverado as an option. The truck comes with a few engine choices like the light 4.3L & 4.8L or heavier 5.3L and 6.0L Vortec V8 engines with Active Fuel Management Control. What this does is shut down gas flow to some of the pistons when the power isn’t needed. This saves on fuel but allows the car access to some real power when needed.
You can also get the Silverado to run on ethanol fuels which is a partially blended fuel that uses corn or other crops as a fuel source. Did I mention that the Silverado also comes in a hybrid. The new Silverado hybrid gets an impressive 21 mpg.
The Silverado is probably going to be your best buy in terms of pickup trucks. It was named best truck in the United States and Canada. This could be because of it’s impeccable safety rating or value. It was also the number one stolen car in North America last year. Did I also mention that the Silverado has a better resale value than Toyota, Ford or Dodge.
