    TAMPA, FL, April 01, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- After a week of testing the latest pickup trucks, on- and off-road, Four Wheeler magazine has named the Chevy Silverado 2014 Pickup Truck of the Year, notes Ferman Chevy of Tampa. (1) This adds yet another accolade to a lengthy list of awards that the 2014 Silverado has already won, including AutoWeek's Best of the Best for 2014 and Truck of the Year, according to the Detroit Free Press.

The 2014 Silverado 1500 is all-new this year, with three available EcoTec engines, a quieter cab, improved connectivity features, better handling, and clever cargo solutions for the truck bed. (2) Even with all of these improvements, the MSRP of $23,590 (not including freight charges) carries over from 2013. (2)

Like many pickup trucks, the Silverado 1500 can be configured at our Chevrolet dealership in Tampa to meet any needs. In addition to the three engine choices and cab styles, the available Max Trailering Package allows for up to 12,000 pounds of towing, the best in its class. (2) Tampa Chevy drivers also benefit from the V8 pickup's best in class fuel rating, which is an EPA-estimated 23 mpg highway when the 5.3-liter engine is mated to a two-wheel drive configuration. (3)

Two thirds of the cab's structure is made of high-strength steel, which improves its safety in addition to providing a quieter cab. The controls have been configured for ease of use, even when wearing work gloves, and the Chevy MyLink system provides connectivity, plus an array of ports and power outlets for devices. (2)
