MotorWeek | Road Test: 2014 Chevrolet Silverado High Country

[@SmitzT]

This thing can get to 60 in 6.2 seconds? Holy crap, that's amazing!

[@MrOlea]

that's actually on the slower end. With better launching and at sea level it can get to 60 in around 5.6 seconds.

[@JamesK7911]

I mean my truck from 2001 is able to do that lmao

[@Jeymez]

@@MrOlea 6.2 is not slow, and these guys always test at sea level.

[@philricci2012]

Dang ol' cowboy Cadillac!

[@76carmel]

Not only that Navi unit should be standard especially if you're spending $53k+ for a full-sized pickup truck; you'd think GM would put push button start as well in the Chevy Silverado High Country and its cousin GMC Sierra Denali.

[@The_Duggler25]

Im glad they dont have push button start for my i like to still have my key. Same with the steering column shifter. There still staying to what a truck is. Unlike making it a car with a turn nob trans or cent console shifter like dodge and ford. Or how they dont put rear springs in there truck like dodge. For me i still want a truck that still feels like a truck.i hope gm never changes that

Not sure about the others but I can start mine using my smart phone.

[@jimpeanut6697]

The truck was made for blue collars all the buttons are big and accessible and simple, also push button cars are easy to steal

[@Jeymez]

@@The_Duggler25 9 years later and i still have that opinion about push button start, but considering the price of vehicles back in 2014, i can see why someone might get angry it's not included. if i can go back to that time, i would rather have those prices in 2024. still the problem with the Silverado isn't the truck itself, it's GM. they always do a half baked on interior and quality control. during this gen i like the outside of the truck, but inside was a different story. the GMC Sierra suffered as a result, cause there wasn't much that separated them. it only gets a little nicer if you get the Denali package, but that would only jack up the price more. now as far as push button start is concerned, i still feel like it's a useless feature. but it's women is why push button start became a thing, and even some guys will complain not having it. people act like turning a key is such hard work.

[@MrNuggetface]

Dealers never carry the 6.2. Damn near impossible to find for a customer

[@hnnotyy]

Not true my dealer had 10 in stock and they all sell and they were all 1500s. Apparently dealers in your area are not allocated any .

[@fernandorocha-dx1wv]

@@hnnotyy Yes, the 6.2 is nice in sales

[@landyachtfan79]

3:34......how about the fact that it's a General Mistakes/Recalls truck?!!!!!!...

[@GTStuning-]

It spun through 2nd gear 😁

[@BDBBailey]

Why has Motor week stopped doing braking and slalom tests or at least showing us the results?

[@JurgenDX]

So when is it gonna be recalled?

[@gmcdenali7178]

6.2 seconds? That's way off. 5.4-5.5 seconds.

[@mattcox3373]

Keep in mind it weights almost 6,000 pounds. I think 6 seconds would be pretty accurate

[@alexvargasmorales712]

@@mattcox3373 nope i can do 0-60 in 5.6 seconds

[@rangerpru]

A brand new model that is described as being overshadowed by the competition isn't exactly a glowing endorsement. No wonder sales have not met expectations.

I love cherolet pick up

[@whiterabbitt2002]

Does anyone road test the original type Pickup Trucks any longer ? Standard Cab/Long Bed 4 by 4 ? These pickups with 4 doors and a 51/2 foot bed are np more than a truck like car. Bought more then likely Cowboy Wannabees. Not really a truck other than a ???

[@The_Duggler25]

U can still get a single cab but people just dont buy them anymore. Not like they used to cuz they use these truck as there main vehicle and family vehicle. The single cab sales are mostly commercial sales. Even then there not that high cuz for alot of companies if u have a cew y get 2 trucks to haul 6 guys when u can have one do it.

[@whiterabbitt2002]

yeah, but in construction a 8 foot bed is necessary and the crew cabs have short useless beds. They are more of a weekend cowboy truck.

[@506corvette]

Car and driver got a 5.4 seconds to 60. And 14.1 at 99mph in the quarter. www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2014-chevrolet-silverado-62l-v-8-4x4-test-review

Still have wondered why all those years ago, they did away with the Famous Red Bow Tie.....

[@truckernation7886]

The brakes love to fade.

[@pontiacGXPfan]

Like this giant, thirsty lump of a truck. One serious problem i have with it is that it's related to the ugly, overchromed GMC Denali.

[@chad647]

One these for sale near me. Same one for 28,000 with 106,000 miles. Excellent condition but don't think worth 28 grand being almost 10 yrs old. Think might try offer 20 grand lol.

[@glsracer]

Too bad its damn near impossible to get a 6.2 from GM without special ordering it. This makes working a deal almost as impossible.

[@hnnotyy]

It use to be the case not anymore you can get a 6.2 now

[@glsracer]

hnnotyy That's good to know, I was looking 3 months ago and every GM dealership I went to in Colorado told me that they were special order only.

[@506corvette]

glsracer Yea my dealer had one and they sold it within the first hour of it hitting the lot.

[@Scirollo]

glsracer Contact your local Chevy truck dealer owner. We contacted Jim Tubman and he gave us the one he drove for 2 weeks, got it for $10000 off.

[@jtafoya88]

Demetrius Not narrow minded. I'm saying this from a lot of experience. I want to like American cars.

Re San What a butthurt individual.

[@z28kindaguy]

Re San I find it funny how people flock to defend cars that they don't make themselves or probably don't even own. How does my comment effect YOU? Think about it. I'm sure it doesn't. Experience? I've owned at least one from the big 3. Every one of them was a shop queen. Now that I went all Japanese, I haven't been to the shop. In 8 years. Toyota, Mazda, and a Honda. I read reliability reports from Consumer Reports and JD Power, among others. Is that good enough for you? PS. You do sound BUTTHURT. I call it like I see it. Have a good one. Yours Truly, Knuckle Dragging Troll.

[@z28kindaguy]

Re San "What the hell is this supposed to mean?" For a KZbin troll, you're pretty simple minded. You bore me. If my post perplexes you that much, we're done.

[@choward874]

Whell you explain to me smart guy why then has my dads Ram ran off and left every Chevy he's ever came up against and I've test driven the brand new Chevy there not nearly as quiet as the RAM 1500 is nor do they hold the road as well and this is coming from a lifelong Chevy owner well future X Chevy guy I'm done Chevy has lost two lifelong Chevy guys to a dodge I never ever thought I would say that.

[@506corvette]

I like dodge to my brothers ram is nice. But the facts are a stock 1500 will not outrun a silverado or sierra with a 6.2. When dodge brings the new 6.4 hemi in the 1500 then it will. And the chevy's with the 5.3 are dogs the old ones only had 315hp and 335 lbft of torque. When the old hemi had what the new 5.3 make. Im not trying to hate brother i like all the new trucks.

That was the longest and dumbest sentence I've ever read.

@@hacksawjimthuggin7411 well you're dumb for sticking around and reading it all LOL

[@choward874]

Ram has way more power and its much quieter than chevy, Chevy's lost it Obama motors now and that's why its shit.

[@506corvette]

This is the most powerful engine in a 1500. The rams biggest engine for the 1500 is the 5.7. Which does not make the horsepower or the torque of this engine. And the ram is heavier.

[@choward874]

Yeah but the 6.0 Chevy is rare I've never even come across one before.

[@506corvette]

craig howard True and the 6.2 is the top dog. They have quite a bit of them in the sierras around here. But my dealer which is the biggest in florida only keeps one. When someone buys it they place in an order for one more and thats it.
