See the job. Do the job. That’s the attitude you can take when you drive a Chevrolet Silverado, because
every Vortec V8 engine that’s available in our full-size pickup is capable of generating over 300 horses and
300 lb.-ft. of torque. If you want to take the ultimate power trip, step up to the available Vortec 6.2L V8
that generates 403 hp and 417 lb.-ft. of torque, making it — without a doubt — the most powerful half-ton crew
cab. Or maybe you’re looking for the most powerful heavy-duty ever made. Check out the new Silverado HD

FlexFuel capability. The Vortec 4.8L, 5.3L and 6.2L V8 engines available on Silverado 1500 can operate on
either regular unleaded gasoline, E85
2
— a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline — or any combination
of both. Because ethanol is made from primarily organic, domestic resources, E85 is a mostly renewable,
cleaner-burning fuel that can help reduce our dependence on petroleum and reduce tailpipe emissions. Plus,
E85 generally has a higher octane rating than regular unleaded gasoline, which can result in slightly higher
horsepower and torque levels.
Power and efficiency are the trademarks of a Vortec engine. The Vortec 5.3L V8 engine included on
Silverado XFE offers an impressive combination of 315 horsepower and an EPA estimated 15 MPG city,
22 highway when running on gasoline — a fuel economy number that’s better than Ford F-150, Dodge
Ram and Toyota Tundra.
