2016 Chevy Silverado 1500: Rugged Performance Meets Refined Features

As a premier Chevrolet dealership in Clearwater, we at Dimmitt Chevrolet have come to know the Silverado as a throwback to a time when dusty roads led to more dusty roads, when High Noon was a time for dueling rather than eating a late lunch, and when saloons offered moonshine to spurred-boot wearers on horseback.

But 2016 has brought forth a new era of Chevy Silverado. Now the beloved Chevy trucks are packed with contemporary features and un-truck-like comforts that leave the traditional pickup style in its rearview.

Here’s what you can expect from the new lineup of Chevy Silverado 1500s.
