The 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Pickup
This Pickup is available in many versions (work truck, LS, LT, XFE and LTZ), all of which are fairly affordable. The work truck most affordable version starts at $29,760. This is a great price for the overall package but there are some features that could use improvements. The interior looks outdated but offers plenty of space and the exterior follows the same pattern but what does not disappoint is the powerful engine. No used Silverado 1500 Pickup engine of years gone by can possibly compare the engines available with these models.
Features of the 2011 Silverado 1500
Interior
The interior is a bit outdated with vinyl seats but the buyer has the option to upgrade to cloth covered seats. The dashboard, door panels and overall design also have an outdated feel. Chevrolet did not place too much emphasis on the interior but this is excusable because the 2011 Silverado is geared at construction workers, farmers and others in similar industries.
Exterior
Much like the interior, the exterior of this pickup is not flashy but it is practical. The chrome finish bumpers and the 17 x 7.5 inch wheels seek to bring the Silverado 1500 Pickup into 2011 and they do a fair job but for the most part the shape is also outdated. The best feature of this Silverado is the cargo space which can measure anywhere from 5 ft. 8 inches to 8 feet long, allowing it to carry large amounts of cargo.
Engine
Flex fuel (FFV) type engine (Engine can run on a blend of gasoline and up 85% of an alternative fuel such as ethanol)
4.8 liters
V8 cylinders
Overhead valves
16 valves
302 horsepower at 5600 revolutions per minute
A torque of 305 feet per pounds at 4600 revolutions per minute
The engine is the star of the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Pickup. In addition to being big, heavy and powerful this engine is also capable of moving a vehicle at very high speeds; a feature partly attributed to the six-speed shiftable automatic transmission. The 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 engine is available in measurements of 4.8, 5.3 and 6.2 liters. All of these engines are very capable of high performance and though they have improved over recent years in the area of increasing fuel economy, they still have a long way to go.
Lower fuel emissions is certainly welcome but because combination fuels burn faster due to the ethanol content, it means that the fuel efficiency is very low with 15 miles per gallon on city streets and 19 miles per gallon at highway speeds. This is the only disadvantage of any of the new or used Silverado 1500 Pickup engine but it is a big one, therefore, buyers must take rising fuel costs into consideration.
It can be concluded that the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Pickup is excellent for carrying cargo and is also an excellent driving experience, therefore, it is a great buy. The interior and exterior features are lacking but those can be easily overlooked due to the amount of power provided by this Pickup.

Gibson SG special faded with three pickup, which ones should be covered?
hi all,
I am so happy that I just got my new Gibson SG Special faded with three pickups! It looks like this http://www.mveducation.com/invt/50911.
The guys who run the store have also thrown in some chrome pickup covers for me. I am wondering whether I should cover all of them or just some or none, etc.? What do you think would look best?
personally, i'd cover them all for a more stock, finished look. congratulations, btw.

Low-Cost GMC Sierra Exterior Accessories
How do you improve the external components of a pickup truck that looks good in its stock form? Well for starters, it is simply by adding low-cost but high quality built GMC Sierra Pickup exterior accessories. If you have always wanted to enhance the exterior of your truck and don't know or have the funds to implement, here is your opportunity to style your pickup truck with inexpensive external components.
A custom aftermarket grille is perhaps one of the cheapest accessories to help enhance the front of your pickup truck. If you consider how much it cost to replace an original equipment manufactured (OEM) grille, it is a no brainier to install an aftermarket grille to help enhance the front of your vehicle, and on top of that, helps to differentiate your truck from the rest.
Another low cost accessory that is vital to protecting the front, sides and rear of your truck is a combination of grille or bull guard, tonneau covers, mudguards or mud flaps, Nerf bar side steps and taillight guard. A grille guard or push bar will protect your front end from unexpected elements like stray animals and collision. On the other hand, a Nerf bar serves dual purpose; protect the left and right sides of your truck and also allows easy entry and exit especially if you are height challenged.
Are there other low cost exterior accessories? Of course, there are countless aftermarket exterior accessories for your GMC Sierra, but it will be unwise to install all of them. Additional exterior accessories to consider include hood deflector, side window visors and rear cab visor. Each of these components plays an important role in protecting your truck and improving your day-to-day driving experience. For example, a well installed hood deflector will protect your front hood or even your windshield from bugs, stones and other elements. Equally important is a side window visor, it keeps rain out and lets fresh air in, thus keeping your parked truck cooler.
When it comes to enhancing your pickup with cheap exterior accessories, nothing can be compared to adding chrome trim accessories that are not expensive. For example, low priced chrome door handle covers, chrome fuel doors, chrome tailgate handle covers, chrome mirror covers, stainless window sill trims, fender trims and chrome taillight bezel will not only enhance the exterior of your truck, but also broaden that luxury look and feeling you have always wanted.
If you have always wanted to improve the exterior of your GMC pickup truck and don't know how or have the resources to execute, here is your chance to style your truck with low cost aftermarket external accessories that you will be proud of, and will not create a hole in your wallet or purse
