E / STABILITY CONTROL
StabiliTrak, an electronic control system, helps
improve stability by detecting and reducing
loss of traction. Sensing when Silverado is not
responding to your steering inputs, it adjusts
engine speed and applies brake pressure to
any wheel to help maintain directional control.
For rollover mitigation, StabiliTrak anticipates
a potential situation, rapidly applying brake
pressure to help reduce lateral forces and the
possibility of a rollover.
D / ELECTRIC RACK-AND-PINION STEERING
The electric variable-assist power rack-and-pinion
steering system reduces fuel consumption versus
engine-powered systems. The variable assist is
tuned to provide less assist at highway speeds
for a solid on-centre feel, and more assist for less
steering effort when manoeuvring in tight spaces.
F / HIGH LATERAL-RATE BODY MOUNTS
To connect the body to the frame are high lateral-
rate hydraulic body mounts. You’ll enjoy comfort
and a smooth, quiet ride. The shear-style mounts at
the front of the cab dampen side-to-side vibrations,
while the hydraulic mounts at the rear of the cab
dampen vertical vibrations.
G / AUTOMATIC LOCKING REAR DIFFERENTIAL
Available on 4x2 and 4x4 models and standard
on LT Z71, LTZ and High Country models, the
automatic locking rear differential directs power
to the wheel with the most traction on loose gravel
or slippery surfaces.
H / LARGE REAR AXLE RING GEAR
Silverado’s generous horsepower and torque call
for an enhanced way to transmit power to the
tires. That’s why every rear axle features a large
ring gear that is designed to handle the increased
torque output of all engines. This robust axle
design also provides reliable durability.
I / TUNED MULTILEAF REAR SPRINGS
Two-stage rear leaf springs provide the perfect
balance between ride smoothness and hauling
capability. They’ve also been tuned for a
comfortable ride and noise reduction and are
corrosion resistant.
