Something for Everyone: Cool Features of the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado

The options available for light duty pickup trucks is numerous, which can make it difficult to choose the right pickup truck for you and your needs. In such cases, it may be more beneficial to choose a vehicle that has a track record of excellence like the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado.

The Chevrolet Silverado has long been one of the most admired pickup trucks in Portland and the rest of the United States. As such, it comes as no surprise that it is one of the best selling pickup trucks in the country with over 500,000 units sold in 2017. The best part is that many respected Chevrolet dealerships, like McLoughlin Chevrolet, offer incredible Portland Silverado deals, with some even offering up to $14,000 off on Silverado Light Duty Trucks.


Why exactly has the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado been so popular for so long? It’s mostly because Chevrolet goes out of its way to bring something new to the table that everyone can enjoy. So what exactly does the 2018 Silverado have to offer buyers?

Superior Customizability

The 2018 Chevrolet Silverado in it’s base package is a fantastic truck for both work and play. However, those who have a more specific use for the truck in mind will absolutely love the freedom Chevrolet provides when it comes to customizing the truck. You can easily turn the base Silverado into the pickup truck of your dreams with numerous V8 engine options to better match your needs. You can also further customize your Silverado with various accessories and safety features to create your own unique pickup truck.

Intuitive Infotainment System

Many truck experts claim the Silverado’s MyLink infotainment system is without a doubt one of the best systems on the market. The 7-inch touchscreen interface sports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for audiophile drivers. The touchscreen is also amazingly responsive at 0.4 seconds, which is faster than the Samsung S7 and the iPhone 6S. As an added bonus, buyers can also opt for built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi, perfect for those long roadtrips. The best part? The MyLink comes standard on all Silverado trims with all of its features packed into it.

Beefed Up Safety Features

Safety has always been a priority for Chevrolet and they take pride in building trucks that are as sturdy as the trucks are powerful. The 2018 Chevrolet Silverado is no different. The pickup truck still aces all of the crash tests from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, netting a perfect 5 of 5 across the board. Chevrolet has also decided to include rear view cameras on all of its Silverado trims, a feature that used to be optional, as well as a tire-fill alert feature to the Silverado’s tire-pressure-monitor system.

Best In-Class Fuel Efficiency

Pickup trucks are notorious gas guzzlers, a characteristic that most pickup truck owners “just have to live with”. However, this doesn’t mean that people shouldn’t bother to look up the fuel economy rating of a pickup truck. The 2018 Silverado proudly boasts “Best in Class” fuel economy. The 2018 Chevrolet Silverado can easily do 20mpg on the highway, which is impressive for a pickup truck. The result also perfectly mirrors the rating from the EPA.

Comfortable Rides

Pickup trucks are the perfect vehicle for families that enjoy a nice road trip during the summer vacation. Unfortunately, some people can find long road trips difficult when the seats aren’t comfortable. This isn’t a problem with the 2018 Silverado, which uses high-end materials for the interior and the seats, creating a comfortable and supportive experience for both drivers and passengers. The cabin is also quite spacious, mimicking large sedans, allowing all passengers to fit comfortably.

If you are interested in buying a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado in Portland, make sure you purchase one from an authorized Chevrolet dealership like McLoughlin Chevrolet. After all, authorized dealerships are often the ones who can give you the best deals on Silverado trucks in and around Portland.
