Chevy Silverado 1500 – 2013 Chevy Silverado

2013 Silverado   –   Tweet

Change is a coming in the Chevrolet line of trucks and it looks like the 2013 Silverado will be one very sleek ride. Chevrolet is revamping the factory in Flint, Michigan to produce the new Chevy Silverado in 2013.

General Motors has announced that it will invest $328 million in its Flint, Michigan assembly plant to produce its next-generation GMC and Chevrolet full-size pickup trucks.

Automotive News reports that GM's U.S. sales boss, Don Johnson, revealed that the the Silverado truck plants would be re-tooled during scheduled shutdowns in 2012. With this information one must surmise that if General Motors were to begin building the new Silverado and Sierra trucks right after the retooling takes place they would be making the trucks as 2013 models. But if the retooling takes place all through 2012, the new model trucks would most likely be built as 2014 models. We'll keep a watch on this and see how the transformation take shape and if the new Silverado will be released in the 2013 or 2014 model year.

RUMORS: Powering the 2013 Silverado is an area of great interest to Chevy fans. With so many great engine options to choose from, what Chevy will choose to pack into their new body is all speculation at this point. One of the rumors we keep hearing is the possibility of the LS7 7.0-liter V8 pumping out 505 hp and 470 lb.-ft. of torque. This is the same engine Chevy currently uses to power the potent ZO6 Corvette.

RUMORS 2: Some believe that a new engine will be released in the new 2013 Silverado. This new engine is rumored to deliver more power per cubic inch along with better fuel economy. Chevy is very tight lipped about the particulars surrounding this engine and will not comment on it's release date. But if rumors are worth anything, we expect to see it in the release of the new bodied Silverado in the fall of 2012.
