The All New 2015 Chevrolet Silverado
Powerful enough for any job, the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado is about blending together power, style and fuel efficiency. Featuring a new 8L90 eight speed transmission, an off-axis, binary valve pump and clutch compensators, the Silverado is stronger, sturdier and more efficiently constructed than older models. The new Silverado feaures higher horsepower, higher torque and the ability to transport more cargo while still maintaining a better fuel efficiency than any other Silverado GM has ever made.
The Silverado’s Brand New Transmission – Tough Enough for Any Job
The 2015 Chevy Silverado’s best new featue is hands down the 8L90 eight speed Hydra-Matic transmission, increasing the pickup of the truck and providing drivers with efficiency and power all at the same time. This transmission is capable of reaching 420 horsepower and has 460 lb-ft torque, making it the most powerful engine available in a light-duty pickup truck.
Featuring four gearsets and five clutches, the 8 cylinder engine is so well designed that it takes up the same amount of room as the V6 engine available in previous models of the pickup. The overall gear ratio as well as the first gear ratio allow drivers to gain a steady, powerful acceleration even while transporting tons of cargo.
Smaller steps between gears allow for smoother transitions and a smoother drive, without having to compromise power or torque. A lower rear axle ratio increases the fuel efficiency of the 2015 Silverado and increases the trucks payload capacity.
