The History of Chevy's Pickups

Chevy's trucks harken back to the days of old, over 100 years ago in 1918. The Chevy One-Ton was the versatile machine that became the workhorse for the working man—but these were in the days when there were nowhere near as many drivers on the road today, and not every state required a driver's license. Even back in those days, people learned the name Chevrolet was interchangeable with quality, and this was a common consensus as more licensed drivers began occupying the roads. As the years went by, Chevy's innovative qualities only sped up. Twenty years after the release of the One-Ton came the Half-Ton, and it was at this time that Chevy trucks began to take on a shape more reminiscent of what we have today, with walls for a bed and a hard top. The early days of Chevy were innovative, but it was with the release of the Chevy C/K that the ceiling was blown wide open, as this model yielded the most exceptional power for its day. The Silverado would then succeed the C/K after over half a century of support in the United States. About five years later, Chevy debuted the Colorado, bringing to its lineup a smaller pickup than that of the Silverado 1500 and HD models—and in Chevy's lineup, the Colorado has been the most cost-effective option for Chevy pickups since its release. 

The Chevy Colorado

The Chevy Colorado is the midsize alternative to its heftier and pricier Chevy siblings. The Chevy Colorado returned to the States after a semi-brief hiatus that began just under ten years after its original release. Before the hiatus, the 2012 model was the last Colorado, and it wasn't until the release of the 2015 model that it came back better than ever. Sales didn't stop in other territories at the time, but when the Colorado returned to Chevy's lineup with the 2015 model, it featured several changes: the earlier V8 engine was eliminated, along with one of the other I-4 engines—however, in their stead is a 3.6L V6 engine that can tow up to 7,000 lbs when properly equipped, against the 6,000 lb capacity the V8 engine had, which was a 16.6% increase. Chevy Colorado models are a great choice if you want a smaller Chevy pickup than other options, and you'll find the performance is excellent regardless of whether your preferred model came from before the hiatus or after its triumphant return.

The Chevy Silverado

To say the Silverado had an impact on the United States and pickup culture as a whole would be an understatement. The Chevy Silverado is a truck derived directly from its predecessor, the legendary and never-to-be-forgotten Chevy C/K pickup. The Silverado was the natural next step for the brand, and it shares a direct feature set with its partner—the GMC Sierra 1500—because both manufacturers are subsidiaries of the same parent company: General Motors. Chevy has become a staple in pop culture. Those who've never owned a Chevy vehicle have still heard great things about its capabilities. As time passed, everyone began to know at least someone driving a Chevrolet. Out of the long line of pickup trucks produced by this one manufacturer, it was the Silverado that became its biggest accomplishment in the pickup truck space to date. The success of the Silverado would go on to see it become the overall second-best-selling vehicle in the country. These trucks are thus some of the most abundant on the pre-owned market, and they retain their resale value astonishingly well. And who can forget the Silverado's heavy-duty variants? You should get a Chevy Silverado HD if you need a vehicle that tows incredible amounts of weight without any issues, and one that will perform better than entry-level trucks for the foreseeable future. The Silverado and its HD counterparts are also some of the most high-tech trucks on the market, with features like robust infotainment centers and numerous means of connectivity; this helps those using the Silverado for their job to stay in contact with their boss, colleagues, clients, family, etc.
