Silverado owners can choose from several powerful engine options including one V6 and two V8 engines. Boasting the best in class torque, the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado’s 4.3-liter EcoTec3 V6 engine produces a horsepower of 285 and an impressive 305 pound-feet of torque at 3,900 RPM. Depending on other equipment, the V6 can also tow up to a maximum of 7,600 pounds. Amongst the 3 engine options, the 4.3L EcoTec3 V6 is the most economical, managing 18 mpg in city driving and 24 mpg on the highway with two-wheel drive. Meanwhile, the 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 engine is capable of producing 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet at 4,100 RPM without the help of the eAssist Powertrain. In terms of fuel efficiency, the 5.3L V8 shares the fuel economy of the V6, offering 18 mpg in city driving and 24 mpg on the highway when using the eAssist Powertrain. When properly equipped, the 5.3L V8 even can tow up to 11,100 pounds which is good enough for most.
