Full-size pickup trucks offer some of the widest selections of equipment and features of all modern vehicles. The ability to option out a 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 to match your exact daily driving and hauling needs is indeed a powerful tool. To get the best understanding of what the Silverado has to offer, it is a great idea to take a closer look at the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT and LTZ trim levels, each of which offers an exceptionally high standard of functionality and comfort.

The 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT (MSRP $26,810) represents the highest trim available on Regular Cab body-style trucks from the American automaker. The LT comes standard with a 4.8-liter V8 engine that produces a healthy 302 hp and 305 lb/ft of torque while turning in a respectable 19 mpg highway through a four-speed automatic transmission. Optional for 1500 LT trims is a 315-hp 5.3-liter FlexFuel V8 that generates 335 lb/ft of torque. Upgrading to this mill also adds a six-speed automatic transmission to the mix along with several heavy-duty cooling systems and a locking rear differential.

The LT trim can also be found on Extended Cab and Crew Cab body styles, which offer additional seating for three passengers along with an extra set of rear doors, expanding total capacity to six occupants. For each of these editions of the Silverado, a 6.2-liter FlexFuel V8 is available to drivers who absolutely require the final word in horsepower and torque. With 403 ponies and 417 lb/ft of twist, this engine comes with a six-speed automatic and absolutely mauls the competition. Four-wheel drive is, of course, also an option for the entire Silverado V8 range.

Out back, the Silverado 1500 LT Regular and Extended Cab models come with a choice of either a six-foot, six-inch cargo bed or an eight-foot bed, both of which are well suited to handling a wide variety of loads. The Crew Cab model is outfitted exclusively with a five-foot, eight-inch box. Inside, standard features include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, cruise control, power windows and door locks – but what sets the LT apart is the ability to upgrade it a la carte from a long list of optional equipment packages and individual equipment choices. The Interior Plus Package provides steering wheel-mounted audio controls, an MP3-capable CD player and a power driver’s seat while several different chrome packages can also be chosen to dress up the vehicle’s exterior. Stand-alone options include over 15 different wheel choices ranging from 17 to 22 inches in size, along with bedliners, bedrail protectors and several tonneau covers.

The 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ seriously ups the ante when it comes to both standard and available features. The LTZ trim is available exclusively for Extended and Crew Cab body styles, and these trucks are found with either the 5.3-liter (standard) or 6.2-liter V8 between the front fenders. Leather seats are included on this most elite edition of the Silverado along with heaters for both the driver and the front passenger. Additional amenities included with the LTZ trim include dual-zone automatic climate control, rain-sensing windshield wipers and a unique Bose stereo system.

The LTZ shares the customization possibilities offered by the LT, presenting a fantastic number of options and packages that increase the Silverado’s comfort and utility. The Convenience Package adds rear-parking assist to make it easier to park and maneuver out of tight spaces along with power-adjustable pedals and an available power-sliding rear window. The Silverado LTZ can also take advantage of the Z71 Suspension Package, which preps the truck for severe off-road duty by adding rugged shock absorbers, a thicker front stabilizer bar, an array of skid plates designed to protect the vehicle’s undercarriage and a special air cleaner to keep dirt and grime out of the pickup’s engine.

The 2010 Chevrolet Silverado LT and LTZ pickups are the final word when it comes to equipment, comfort and sheer utility in the full-size truck world.

Of the nearly two dozen different variations of Chevy pickups available, there is one model that combines all of the technologies that were designed with fuel efficiency as the first priority.

Chevy pickups are available in three body styles – a two-door regular cab, and four-door Extended and “Crew Cab” models. Each of these is available with five-foot, nine-inch- or eight-foot-long boxes on the back.

What’s more, the light-duty 1500 series pickups have five different engines available, ranging from a V6 to four V8s from 4.8-liters to 6.2-liters in displacement. The $34,220 (MSRP) XFE model (eXtra Fuel Efficiency) takes a rear-drive four-door Crew Cab with the lighter short bed and adds the lightweight aluminum-block LC9-designated V8 (there is a heavier iron-block 5.3-liter engine), which is equipped with a cylinder cut-out system, as well as the ability to run on E85, an ethanol and gasoline blended fuel that’s available as a lower-cost alternative to straight gasoline.

Contributing to the XFE’s efficiency are a lower front air dam and a tonneau cover over the bed, as well as lightened aluminum suspension arms, lighter wheels and low-rolling resistance tires.

Non-XFE models are rated at 21 mpg on the highway. The point is that selecting the right configuration of equipment and driving sensibly means you don’t have to feel guilty driving a full-size V8 machine with unparalleled carrying capacity.

Getting the XFE doesn’t limit other equipment available, especially the popular “Texas” edition. Chevy considers cowboys from select counties in Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas, Louisiana and New Mexico also eligible for the Texas edition, which comes with heated chrome mirrors, chrome wheels and door handles, a Towing Package, locking tailgate and Texas emblems.

In addition to the XFE, there’s also the high-tech Silverado Hybrid model, which boasts much greater EPA city fuel efficiency – 22 mpg highway. The hybrid features a sophisticated, electrically variable transmission packaged with a conventional four-speed automatic, as well as a 300-volt battery that powers the truck when the gasoline engine is unnecessary. It will run up to 30 mph on electricity alone for short distances.

The 2010 Chevrolet Silverado XFE can also be loaded with options such as a Bose upgraded speaker system, tinted windows, easy lift tailgate, rear backup camera, power-adjustable pedals, automatic climate control, remote starting, leather seats, power-operated rear window, foglights, chrome grille and wheels, side storage box and heated mirrors. It might be a fuel sipper, but the XFE is not a stripper.
